Although His Mind is Hazy
on Details, Meade Barr
Claims TO Have Slain
Beautiful Miss Brown,
Following a Prolonged
Drunken Spree.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Louisville, KY Oct. 2S.-With the
statement that Meade Barr, an inmate
Of the JeffersonvilIe Gndiana) refor-
matory, had confessed to the murder
of Florence Brown in Dallas, Texas,
last July, Major David Peyton,, super
intendent of the reformatory today
declared.
Bars memory seems somewhat
hazed with reference to many details
and we have not yet completed an ex-
animation entirely 10 satisfy us as to
his mental responsibility"
Barr made his confession several
days ago. He had been returned to
the reformatory for violation of parole.
While the reformatoy authorities are
not thoroughly convinced that Barr's
mentally competent Major Peyton
states that it is our inclination to turn
him over to the authorities of Texas in
order that a complete investigation
may be made"
From Major Peyton's statement of
Barr's confession, it appears that Barr
was in Dallas some time prior the
date Of the Brown murder. The state
ment says in part:
Inmate Meade Barr, who was origi-
nally committed to this institution
from Marion county. Indiana. Ser, en-
ber 29 1903, for the crime of man
slaughter and sentenced to from two
to twenty-one years Imprisonment,

cate it to see whether II would aid in
the investigation.

CONTINUES TO
OCCUPY STAND
In Her Description OF Hus-
bands Death, She Con
tradicted Important Por-
tions. of Testimony Pre-
viously Given by Her
Daughter.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Plymouth, Mass, Oct .2S.-Mrs. Jen-
ME May Eaton returned to the wit
ness stand this morning for another
day of cross examination
Although District Attorney Barker
questioned the defendant for six hours
yesterday he did not reach the matter
Of the death of the admiral
Cross examination brought Mrs.
Eaton's story to the week of her hus-
bands death. On Wednesday, March
5 two days before the admiral died,
Mrs. Eaton went to the Medford home
of her daughter. Mrs. June Keyes, and
at the same time Mrs. Keyes visited
the Eaton home at Assinipi. June re-
turned to Medford while her mother
was there and told Mrs. Eaton of her
visit.
Il found the admiral charming and
might easily have fallen in love with
him." was Mrs. Eaton's version Of
June's remarks about Admiral Eaton.
Mrs. Eaton admitted that she un-
derstood June TO tell her that it was
the admiraPs intention to put her hus-
band, Keyes, out of the way. She
might have understood June to say the
admiral said he intended to put Mrs.
Eaton out of the way also.
WAS NOT EXCITED.
Were you excited at this?"
mo, not at ALL" she answered. II
thought that he was only under the
influence of a drug"
The admiral's illness and death were
described by Mrs. Eaton, who con-
tradicted portions of the testimony Of
her daughter Dorothy. District At
torney Barker tried repeatedly to
make Mrs. Eaton remember having
ordered Dorothy to retire early on the
two nights before Admiral Eaton died.
Mrs. Eaton finally said that she might
have done so. But I don't admit it"
she added.
Mrs. Eaton denied having written
or dictated the document found In
typewriter at the Eaton home soon
after the admiraPs death, which pur
ported to be her will.
The last witness for the defense, DR..
Arthur E. Austin, a chemist, said that
it was his opinion that the poison
found in the admiraPs stomach after
death had been taken directly after
the noon meal on Wednesday, March
). and that there wa sno evidence that
a second dose was taken.
Previous testimony, by government
and defense witnesses, indicated that
Mrs. Eaton was in Medford on that !
day.
