BOSTON Mass, April 12.-Mrs. Jennie
May Eaton. who is held in the Ply
mouth county Jail for the murder Of
her -Sl1us band, Admiral Joseph Giles
Eaton, by poison. has outlined and
planned her own defense. and the
widows lawyers are now ready to
meet the state at any time.
The hunt for d. Henry Ainsworth,
Mrs. Eaton's divorced husband, is still
being prosecuted. He is wanted to
clear up certain points for the police
Though it was reported this afternoon
the now famous case this was en-
phatically denied by the authorities
tonight.
1t was learned today that some bouil-
Ion cubes which were in the house be
fore the grand jury hearing was end
ed and which a man guarding the
premises started to use to make a hot
drink were said to be poison by Mrs.
Reyes. eldest daughter of Mrs. Eaton.
Telling Of the incident the guard
said:
June (Mrs. Keyes) was there. She
saw the cubes and said: Don't you
touch them. They belonged to the
admiral. They are poison"
Attorney Geogen of the Eaton de-
tense said today
Attorney Feels Sanguine.
"At present I feel most sanguine as t.
the outcome of the case. Mrs. Eaton has
assisted us materially in assembling
various data in relation to her side of the
case, which has simplified our work to q
great extent.
AT this time there is no knowing when
the case will come to trial. but we are In
position to meet the government at any
time. Not having filed other than the
four motions in relation to the indictmen,
by the grand jury. you would naturally
interpret this to mean that the defense
does not consider the case as complicated
as the public naturally expects.
The question whether the state will ask
for sanity commission to examine Mrs
Eaton has vet to be decided. District At
torney Barker has intimated that he
would not decide until after the Norfolh
grand jury sitting what he will do In
this respect. Mr.. Barker is district at
torney Of Norfolk as we'll as of Plymouth
