 LIFE OF ADMIRAL
(continued from Page one.)

Eaton admitted that she had bought this medicine on two occasions. Once she said she told the admiral about It and then gave it to him with his full knowledge, but the other time she dil not use 1t at all,
 T never could have deceived Admiral Eaton, So expert was he in medicines that he would have detected it i'm mediately." she said.
 Some of the medicine that she got for the admiral he liked so well that he "ate it like peppermint" she de- clared.
 Saw Admiral Use Drugs.
 Explaining a phrase in one of her letters which referred to the rotten ness of the navy" Mrs. Eaton said she believed the admirafs mental con- dition was due in a large measure to his life abroad while in the navy
 T was very, very fond of the ad- miral and pitied him deeply" replied she when asked regarding testimony that she had endeavored to have Eaton put away. She explained that she merely wanted to have him put in a sanitarium for three or six months as she believed it would cure him.
 Did you ever see the admiral use drugs ?' she was asked.
 Yes. dozens of times was the re- ply. He would eat it from the palm of his hand and almost immediately his eyes would set and become gIassy and he would appear as though intox- icated.'
 Was Ashamed Of Drug Habit
 Admiral Eaton was ashamed of his drug habit, the witness said and oftep she had known him to sprinkle whiskey on his coat and even on his mOustache in order to give the impression that liquor was responsible for his cOndi- tion.
 Regarding letters in which she had said that the admiral win1ed at other women, the witness asserted that she was positive of these facts
 Her letter to Grace B. Howard of New Bedford, previously introduced in which she asked the recipient to tes- tIfy that the admiral winked at her, was written. Mrs. Eaton said because she was afraid that the admiral woul1 try to fasten the death of their adopted child on her or her daughter June. She gave publicity to the babys death she said, ito save any more lives that might live around him.
 "Dowdiness of New England Women"
 A new epistle, not previously refero red to, was introduced by the govern ment during the cross examination IT was addressed to a neighbOr of the Eatons and although it bore no sig nature Mrs Eaton admitted at once that she had written it. It described the admiral as having a tumor on the brain and said that he was normal only part of the time.
 Going into details regarding her neighbOrhood gossip, she said:
 T came from an exclusive family and l cannot understand all this gos sip. I sit and gasp at the doWdiness of New England women. Southern women would be clever enough to know which of two parties was short of brains'
 Was Nurse to AdniraI's Wife
 Mrs. Eaton again told of her mar ri2ge at Washington to D. H. Aims worth, her first husband; of Aims worth's losing one position after an- other. and of the falling fortunes of the family as a result.
 The break with Ainsworth came af- ter F years of married life; then hav- ing turned to nursing as a. profession, Mrs. Ainsworth was sent to the home of Admiral Eaton to attend his wife She found the admiral dead drunk most of the time" she said
 Admiral Eaton continued to drink heavily month after his wife's death, and the nurse remained at the Eaton household in an attempt to reform the huband. He was like a child,' she said.
 Married Him to Save His Life.
 Mrs. Eaton said that the admiral requested that she take care of him. On her orders, the admiral reduced his drinking considerably Then he asked Mrs. Eaton to marry him. ''He said he thought it would be very fine thing for him and for me. It was only when I saw he was going to 1 kill himself and die, that I decided to marry him she said.
 Then you married to save his life?'' the district attorney asked
 Yes, l married him to save his life" the defendant answered.
 some time later Admiral Eaton ac- l companied his nurse to Chicago where 1 she divorced her first husband, and | two weeks later they were married in Boston. The family, including Mrs. | Eaton's two daughters, June and Dor Othy Ainsworth, lived in Brookline. | The admiral played the stocks and | lost Mrs. Eaton said.
 Mrs Elaton's testimony appeared | tiTesOme to the members of the jury | and at times some of them appeared | to doZe She maintained her smiling | throughout the ordeal, the | smile often broadened when the dis | trict attorney. unable to read her writ ing. passed letter over to her to decipher.
