BOSTON, Mass., May 29. The Jury trial
of the suit of Mrs. Josephine A. Woodbury
of this rlty. claiming $150,000 damages from
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy of Concord, N.
Hvfoundcr of the Christian Scientist sect,
fur libel, was begun In the Suffolk county
superior court here today, nnij according
to tho statement of the different counsel
It Is likely tn consume the greater portion
of three weeks. The suit was brought by
Mrs. Woodbury on the ground thnt two
yenis ogo Mrs. Eddy', In a message to tho
First Christian Science church here, which
was read four times ami afterward pub
llRbed In a local paper, had In mind Mrs.
Woodbury when she used the words! "Tho
doom of the Babylonish woman referred to
In the book of Ravetatlons Is being fulfilled."
Previous to this Mrs. Woodbury had been
excommunicated by the church.
In her answer, Mrs. Eddy admits that the
particular address was delivered on the
days and nt tliu times, named In the declara
tion of the plaintiff, hut declares that
neither Mrs. Woodbury or nnv other human
being was meant by the term "BahylonlBh
woman," the phrase being used simply to
describe a type of sin.
Mrs. Woodbury was present in court to
day, but Mrs. Eddy would not nppwr, her
deposition being taken for introduction In
the case as evidence.
Sir. Poabody satd thnt n large number of
the witnesses In the court for the defenso
believed Ir, Mrs. Eddy ns n mnrvclous
woman, second only to Christ, and that they
wore prompted to stand by her through ro
llglous motives. He asked that they be ex
cluded from tho court room. Judge Bell re
fused to grant Mr. Pcabody's request.
William F. Cross, one of the editors of
the Christian Science Journal, described tho
positions held by Judge Hanna nnd Mrs."
Eddy In the society.
William B. JoHSson testified that he was
an Intimate acquaintance of Mrs. Eddy nnd
a director of the mother church. The first
victory on either side came" to the defenso
when Mr Peabody sought by 'this wltnoss
to show that Mre. Woodbury was thewoman
referred to by Mrs. Eddy In the alleged li
belous statement, on tljo -ground that Mrs.
Woodbury tiad, sought and was refused ad
mission to tJacother church, in J893, was
afterward admitted and later excommuni
cated. Mr. rilde?' objected "t6 the admission
of this testimony;"1
Mr. Pcnbody stated that Mrs. Eddy made
tho alleged libelous declarations with a full
knowledge of the fact that they would be
construed ns they were.
"Wo propose," said Mr. Peabody, "lo
bring hefore tho Jury all tho Incidents In
tho lives of Mrs. Woodbury and Mrs. Eddy,
showing their relation, and this Is ono of
tho most Btrlklng."
The court ruled that the time was too re
mote, and excluded tho testimony, Mr. Pea
body taking cxcoptlon.
Mr. Peabody then sought to Introduce tes
timony tending to show malice on the part
nf (hn flnfpnriant TitHim HaII ..11 .
-.......... .unv a,,,,, uik ii.-a-i
tlmony would be admitted only after It had,
been shown that Mrs. Eddy controlled the.
action or the church.
Mr. Johnson's examination proceeded.
Ho produced his books and found a record
for November 6, 1895. There was. nothing
In thnt record, he said, to Indicate at
whose suggestion Mrs. Woodbury was
dropped from membership. Witness said
he was familiar with the handwriting, of
Mre. Eddy. Ho said he should say the let
ter involved was not In the handwriting
of Mrs. Eddy, although the signature was
hers. The letter was submitted to Attorney
Fox, for defendant, for examination, after
which It yns read by Attorney Peabody.
Tho letter was addressed to Mrs. Wood
bury and reviewed her relations with tho
church and with Mrs. Eddy. In It Mrs.
Eddy complained that she had boen un
justly treated by Mrs. Woodbury and
quoted from alleged conversations with her,
wherein she (Mre! Woodbury) virtually ad
mitted that her conduct in the past had
not been entirely blameless. Mrs. Eddy
claimed In this letter that she wag- not
responsible for Mrs. Woodbury's dismissal.
The letter concluded with the following:
"N. B. How dare you, in the sight of God,
and with your character behind the cur
tain, and your own students ready to lift
It on you, pursue the path of heresy?"
Mr. Peabody claimed that a letter had
beoh sent by Mrs. Woodbury's students
asking Mrs. Eddy to "lift the curtain," and
offered in evidence telegrams sent to Mrs.
Eddy In reply to her letter.
Peabody mado seeyral Ineffectual attempts
to draw from trie witness anything to
show on what grounds Mrs. Woodbury
was excommunicated. Tho court over
ruled the questions.
Asked whether Mrs. Woodbury was re
instated nt tho request of' Mrs, Eddy tn
March, 1896, that Mrs. Woodbury bo given
another chance to prove herself worthy to
be a member of tho church, Mrs, Wood
bury was reinstated, the witness said, by
rescinding the voto by which she was ex
cluded. Mr, Johnson said that the words al
leged to have been used by Mrs. Eddy
"Drunken with the blood of tho saints
nnd with tho blood of the martyrs of
Jesus," and "This woman, drunk w'.th the
wine of her fornication, would enter the
church" could not bo assumed tn have
any connection with the book of Revela
tion referring to the Babylonish woman,
Mr. Johnson was asked If he knew
whether Mrs, Kddy had ever spoken of
the plaintiff as a person possessing a men
tal power which enabled her to cause
sickness or death.
The court decided that Mr. Peabody
would have to put the question In some
other form, and the latter then wanted
to know whit Mr. Johnson's understand.
Ing was of the term mental malpractioner.
This was also ruled out by the court and
an adjournment was taken until Monday.

lists of South Dakota of the nomination by
the democratic nat'onal convention of Dnvll
B. Hill, should that democrat receive the
nomination for president In 1904. Is fore
shadowed by an address made before the
students of the State Agricultural college
at Brookings last night by M. L. Fox, ed
itor of the Sioux Falls Press, which Is the
lending nowspnper of thi fusion forces of
the stnte. As Mr, Fox Is credited with
nover doing anything without a motive, his
address Just nt this Juncture Is of peculiar
significance,
In view of his Intimate association with
state populists and democrats. It cannot bo
doubted that Mr. Fox gave expression to
the sentiments of ex-Senator Pettlgrew. cx
Oovcrnor Andrew E, Lee, who Is tho father-in-law
of Mr. Fox. and B. II. Lien, the fu
sion nomlneo last fall for governor of
South Dakota. These men are the arknowl
edged leuders of tbn fuslonlsts of South
Dakota, nnd can doubtless dlctnte the fu
ture policy of the populists nnd demo;rats
of tho state. It appears to be the general
belief of the democrnts and populists of
South Dakota that Dnvld B. Hill will be the
next democratic nominee for president. As
Is well known, ho Is opposed to government
ownership of ralK-onds, and to Income and
Inheritance taxes,
Tho address nf Editor Fox was unmistak
ably opposed to tho Hill platform. A hint
In tho address was lis evident hostility to
the theory of socialism advocated by W. E.
Kldd of Aberdeen, who was chairman of the
pcpullst state committee during the cam
paign of 1R0S: Thomas H. Ayres, ex-prlvnte
secretary to Governor Iee; Hon. W. T. La
Follette, editor of the Ghamborlaln Journal
and ex-rnllroad commissioner for South Da
kota, and other leading populists of thi
etato. Editor Fox has heretofore been re
garded as fully In accord with the Ayres
and Kldd theories of socialism.
They bollevo in soclnl democracy, a prac
tical community of Interests, while Editor
Fox and the men for whom he speaks favor
preventing corporations and Individuals
from accumulating more than a certain
amount of capital. Tho means to regulnto
this, as suggested In Ills address at Brook
ings, were Income, Inheritance nnd land
taxes, with the government ownership of
the raeaus of transportation nnd communi
cation, but no communism nnd no change
from the present framework of government.
Persons wbo nre closely associated with
ex-Senator Pettlgrnw in business nnd po
litical affairs express the belief that ho,
Marlon C. Butler, Charles A. Towne, Henry
M. Teller and possibly William J. Bryan,
havo n thorough undorstaudlng ns to their
futuro courso In politics, nnd that. In ths
event of the democratic Varty nominating
David D, Hill for president In 1904, or some
one representing his views, they will favor
n third party, avoiding the extremes of so
cialism and at the same time attacking
capital.
