SAYS SHE FEARED ADMIRAL.
Thought He Would Kill Her and Her
Daughter.

Chicago, March 22-!ncidents bear
ing upon the relations between Rear
Admiral Eaton and his wife came to
light here yesterday in letter writ
ten by Mrs. Eaton March 10, 1911, to
Marshall E. Gallon, local attorney,
who acted for her in her divorce pro-
ceeding against her first husband,
Daniel Henry Ainsworth, in 1906.
The letter, written from Assinipi,
Mass, referring to the Admiral, says:
"The condition of this poor man is
dreadful; he is so much worse, and |
fear to stay here this winter. My
leaving him alone with my mother,
while I was in Chicago made him
wild. If l had doubt Of his insan-
ity, which l never had, would be re-
moved quickly, as he is so much
worse, and what am to do?
"He is a sick, helpless and sad old
man, and it goes to my heart. He
relies on me entirely. am his eyes,
brain and life, and still, how can
stay here alone and let him kill me
and poor little innocent Dorothy, and
he will do it. and then wonder where
we are. He is the most dangerous,
subtle man | ever saw, and still
have no way of escape.
"Pubic opinion. his rank, his age
and the navy are all against me. All
doctors are too diplomatic and afraid
to attempt to deal with him as ne
should be dealt with and it will cost
me hundreds of dollars to get evidence
and take a year at least to get it in
shape and then probably will be out
wtted by sentiment and pity.
"He is the most dangerous man
you could meet any place.
"Please help me. What shall | do?
What do you advise me as the most
practical? After Friday l shall be
here alone with him. Is it wise? He
is so subtle and sly. Would you get q
common, cheap woman, just to have
some one with me? Of course, such
person would not be able to detect
his trouble, only person drilled te
brain trouble or familiar with IN
sanity.
"If he is as dangerous as l believe
I must protect my life, so find; ou'
whether you can get me woman who
is Sherlock Holmes in criminal in
sanity and of highest moral character
and high standing with doctors ant
alienists, one. whose word would go
If she said he was insane they woult
do the rest. Please see what you cal
do for me and advise me-"
