A reporter for the Boston Globe who interviewed Mrs. Eddy...

A reporter for the Boston Globe who interviewed Mrs. Eddy at Pleasant View, and who was again received by her after she had moved to Chestnut Hill, yesterday [June 6] conducted an independent investigation concerning the charges made by Mrs. Gilbert. The following is what is published in the Globe today [June 7] concerning a trip to Chestnut Hill yesterday:—

"Conducting an independent investigation of the sensational charges made in Mrs. Gilbert's letter, a Globe reporter yesterday afternoon chartered a taxicab and went out to the Chestnut Hill section of Newton where Mrs. Eddy's estate is. The reporter knew from past experience that Mrs. Eddy usually goes to drive at one o'clock in the afternoon, and timed his arrival so as to find her on her outing.

"The Globe taxicab circled the reservoir, about which Mrs. Eddy frequently drives, and nothing being seen of the well-known carriage, the chauffeur was directed to go back to the carriage drive, out of which the carriage of Mrs. Eddy, as it turned out, had emerged just before the taxicab had completed the circle of the reservoir. The tracks of the carriage were fresh in the gravel, and ordering the chauffeur to turn about, the taxicab went in pursuit of the carriage.
