EATON POISONED;
WIDOW IN JAIL
Officers Get Her to bingham Court,
Where She is Arrested.
TAKES ORDEAL CALMLY.
District Attorney Announces Admiral
Was Killed by arsenic.

Mrs. Jennie May Harrison Eaton.
widow of Rear Admiral Joseph Giles
Eaton, u. s. NJ, retired, i. a prison
er in the county Jail at Plymouth,
Mass, awaiting a hearing on March
2s on the charge that she murdered
her husband by giving him arsenic.
The arrest Of Mrs. Eaton was the
climax of an Investigation into this
extraordinary case. While the au-
thorities have known for the last ten
days that the former naval officer
had been killed by poison. it was not
until after the arrest had been made
that they made any public statement
of that fact.
Meantime the officers have been
making desperate efforts TO learn
where the poison wss obtained, but
without success They have also
been de living into~the daily life and
history of the Eaton household in an
effort to establish a motive for the
alleged murder. If the authorities
have discovered any reason why Mrs.
Eaton should poison her husband they
have yet to divulge it.
The arrest of Mrs. Eaton was un-
expected at this time by any one ex-
cept the authorities. The inquest
was resumed yesterday forenoon at
bingham, Mass. While the reporters
were waiting around outside to see
who entered taxi stopped before the
door about 10 o'clock. Out stepped
State Detective Scott. He turned
and assisted Mrs. Eaton to alight,
followed by Deputy Sheriff Congdou.
With an officer on either side of
her, the W. man leaned quite heavily
on their arms. Many wondered if
they were standing on either side of
her because she was under arrest or
because she was in a very nervous
condition and might collapse. Her
expression was Cncommittal. The
two men hurried her into the building
and he lpe d her to mount the narrow
stairs.
Betwe IN the time Mrs. Eaton ar
rived and the announcement of the
District Attorney that she had been
placed under ARE st there was long
wait, during which the only incident
Which, AuNCQ AQti " LIr EANAAG-
ment was the arrival of Francis j.
5eoghan, counsel for Mrs. Eaton.
District Attorney Barker made
this statement to the reporters:
"Mrs. Eaton is not in the court
room, has not been there and will
not be taken in there until she is ar
raigned on the charge of murder She
is now under arrest. charged with
the murder of the Admiral.
Admiral Eaton did not die a nat
ural death. This fact was communi-
Gated to me on March 10 by Prof.
Whitney in a preliminary verbal
report, aud has been known to the
officers working on the case since that
time. Certain features which are in
volved have been presented to the
authorities and will be communicated
to the public We nave been unable
shus far to ascertain where the poi
son was procured. Mrs. Eaton was
taken from her home at Assinippi
yesterday by Deputy Sheriff j. T.
Condor.
Death was due to arsenical poison.
Peculiar features which are involved
have preve nted the authorities from
communicating them to the public.
Mrs. Eaton was placed formally under
arrest here at bingham and not at
her home.
