MUCH SYMPATHY
FOR MRS. EATON
Accused Widow Wins Victory by
Her ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Watch Her Closely

COURT HOUSE. PLYMOUTH.
Mass. Oct. 2S.-When Mrs. Jennie
May Eaton took the stand today,
calm, self-possessed, alert, the SYM
patty of all Plymouth was with her
because Of the victory her personal
ity has won in the fight against the
charge OF having poisoned her hus-
band, Rear-Admiral Joseph G.. Eaton.
Wherever possible this woman, who
has only grown Quieter and more Ger.
tain OF herself as the trial increased
in its dangers for her future. has put
a smile into the proceedings. Under
the gentle, but penetrating crOss-ex'
animation OF District Attorney Bark
or. the accused woman has been posi-
tive, smiling, sometimes sarcastic and
has contradicted herself only in minor
details.
Today she faced cross-examinatiou
on the facts surrounding the death OF
the rear-admiral from poisoning. Al
the prisoner faced this final ordeal
the physicians who have been sta
toned In the court room by the prose
cution to prove insanity II possible
bent more intently to their observa
ton and note-taking.
The jurymen were less intent on
the questioning today, giving rise ia
the opinion among spectators that
their decision Is already made. Mrs
Eaton reiterated her statement that
she did not want her husband com
mitted as insane, but sought only
treatment for his supposed malady
In some hospital.
In contrast TO the clear, ringing
tones which have characterized he,
replies, the prisoners voice was faint
and scarcely audible as Barker ques
toned her regarding the testimony
of Ralph Reyes. her son-in7law.
Reyes had declared that Mrs
Eaton had suggested to her daughter
June, that he would put Reyes and
Mrs. Eaton out of the way. Mrs
Eaton admitted she had the CONVEX
sation with June, overheard BY
Reyes, in which the daughter told OF
the admiral's proposal, bu tshe said
she desired to hasten home because
she knew the admiral must have been
under the influence Of drugs and she
wished to protect him.
Barker also directed his efforts to
show that the admiral had no suici'
dal intent.

One OF the greatest difficulties the
sa!vorS had to ccntend with was tie
fact strong circular current ran
around the Lutino. constantly hliins
up with sand any excavations that
had been made. To remedy this. q
deep channel was cut around the
ship. Over 100000 tons Of sand
we're pumped away In this work. ana
the depth OF water over her has been
Increased from IA to SO feet. She
now lies on a hard clay bottom, In
clear water. and the divers can oper-
ate there efficiently.
Many boxes containing coin have
been recovered, but the most import
ant discovery made Is that the bulk
OF the treasure, In the form OF gold
and silver bars. Is rusted together
with the ammunition.
A special treasure ship, called the
Lyons, has been built for this work.
She IL fitted with an electric mag
net. capable OF lifting three tons with
which to draw up the fragments or
metal produced by the dynamite ex-
plosions. In many cases 1t IL expect
cd bars OF gold will be found cement
ed to masses of iron. COmmunica-
ton between the divers and the ship
Is kept up by telephone.
The captain, In letter. has told
how he hit upon the discovery that
revealed the real position OF the
treasure:
1.-THE dredge was working on one
edge OF a mound OF sand which per-
sisted in holding It's position near tho
port bow OF the wreck. The man In
the cage signaled that he had some
thing, and between me and the glaro
of his working lamp he held up q
chunk OF something dark. fastened
aft upon getting the signal and found
we had pumped up a piece OF iron rust
Weighing about 10 pounds. The crust
OF oxide had formed about rectansu'

conspirators were not greatly to be blamed for
cherishing the desire to restore the authority OF
Mexico, for they loved the country Of their birth,
and believed that they had been treacherously
betrayed by General Armiio. That the leaders OF
the movement contemplated approved of the
ruthless massacre of Americans is improbable.
Their mistake was that they unclaimed the mob,
and then found themselves powerless to direct

In the Taos massacre sixteen or seventeen
Americans were SLAIN including Governor Charles

OF the notable characters still living in Taos,
the best known is Capt Smith A. Simpson, for

Carson. Alloys Scheurich, another old friend of
Carson's, died two three years ago. The for

General Sibley during the brief period Of Confed-

which occurred the Taos massacre when Charles
