stomach. No symptoms Of alcoholism
were discovered.
On cross examination, DR.. whitney
said the first dose might have been
swallowed on Wednesday morning. and
that as some of the stomach fluid was
lost before 1t reached him. additional
poison might have gone with II.
DR.. William Baich, Professor Whit
ney's assistant. agreed in general with
the latter's findings. and said that he
thought a man would detect the taste
OF a large quantity of arsenic If he
was in a normal condition. but he did
not consider a person who had been
vomiting for more than twenty four
hours TO so be.
Tells of Jealousy.
Mrs Annie Driscoil, OF Rockland, who
worked for three months at the Eaton
house in 1919, testified that Mrs. Eaton
told her the admiral was insane and
that he fiirted with other women.
Harry Gates, who used to visit Mrs,
Eaton's daughter Jane, told of being
warned by the mother that the admiral
was not right. because of liquor. and
that he was dangerous" dabbler
in poisons. and that she had said she
wished he was dead. On account of
these warnings Gates said he carried
pistol Whenever he went to see Jane
end was always careful not to allow
The admiral to get behind him,

across the street from the Eatons. tes-
titled that between and o'clock

admiral was very H. the latter came
to his house. brought him some maya

saw the admiral he appeared as we'll
as ever. He said Mrs, Eaton had In
formed him that she had consulted a
physician about the admiral's mental
condition and that the doctor had re-
marked to her that IL anyone was
bughouse, it Is YOU"
During the testimony of the physi-
clans regarding the arsenic Mrs. Eaton
seemed Erayely interested. but several
times while other witnesses were on
the stand she laughed outright.

CITY CAN EASILY
ISSUE nine BONDS
WILL BE NO DIFFICULTY IN GET
TING FUNDS FOR
HOSPITAL

When the question of considering
the report of the subcommittee on
utilities in reference to the city hos
pitai comes before the general COM
nittee tonight, the report of Mayor
Ainslie will be referred to in order
to show that the city Is in good finan-
cial condition. and can easily afford
to appropriate as much money as IS
necessary TO place the Old Dominion
and Virginia hospitals in good shape.
as well as pay the additional cost
Of $4,000 a year for maintenance.
At the meeting of the subcommittee
last Friday night 1t was suggested
by Messrs Radcliffe and Pollard that,
in as much as the bonds of the city
were not going at any exhorbitant
rate. and were not being sought to
any great extent, it might be well to
consider the question of further ap-
preparation.
Chairman Pollock, himself, while
agreeing with those who advocated the
acceptance of the offer of the trus-
tees of the Medical College of Vir-
ginia, thought that the city might
be put to straits and that an addi-
tional bond issue would be necessary
when II came to the time at which
a new hospital might be needed.
The statement of the mayor In
his report Is to the effect that the
city is in splendid financial condi-
ton, and that a bond Issue for any
reasonable sum for the purpose Of
building a hospital or any other pub
lie building might be readily made
by the city.
City bonds at the present time are
not going at all The sinking fund
commission Is taking care of them
to a large extent. But with a new
bond issue, and with the new hospi-
tai as an asset ON the particular is
sue of bonds, said man around the
City hall yesterday. there might be
some way In which to raise the money
to pay for the new hospital.
DR. George Ben Johnston, in re-
ply to a question from Mr.. Radcliffe
Friday night said that an up-to-date
City hospital would cost about halt
a million dollars.
