MRS, EATON ON
STAND TELLS Of
HER PAST LIFE
Relates to Court Something
of Her Early History,
Claiming Her Life With
the Naval Officer Had
Been Unhappy.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Plymouth, Mass, Oct. 25.-The ap-
pearance of the defendant on the stand
today brought to a climax the trial of
Jennie May Eaton, charged with caus-
ing the death of her hsband, Rear Ad-
miral Joseph Giles Eaton, by giving
him poison.
Defense counsel had led up to her
testimony by calling numerous wit
nesses who described Rear Admiral
Eaton as having frequently been under
the influence of liquor and drugs. To-
day counsel sought to draw from her
own lips Mrs. Eatons story of her life
with the admiral It is the contention
of the defense that the man died from
an overdose of a drug which he haA
been accustomed to using.
Mrs. Eaton was possessed as she
began her testimony. Under the ques-
tioning of her attorney, Mrs. Eaton de-
scrfbed her early life. She was born
at Alexandria, Va, SO years ago, she
said, her family later removing to
Michigan and then to Washington,
where she met her first husband, D.
H. Ainsworth.
Her life with Ainsworth was I'M
happy. She said that her husband lost
two positions and that she was forced
to aid in the support of the family,
selling books from house to house.
During her life with Afnsworth she and
her two children, June and Dorothy,
lived successfully at Washington,
Guthrie, Okla, ST. Louis, Chicago and
then returned to Washington, where
she bought a house, paying $1,000
down. Later she was forced to sell the
home.
Mrs Eaton said she placed her
daughters in school at Frederick,
Md, and took up nursing. In Septem-
Der, 1905, she went to Admiral Eaton's
Wa hington home to attend the adj
miraPs first wife. The patient died a
week later but the witness remained
to care for the admiral, who had been
drinking heavily. She accompanied him
to Boston at his request and because
of his pitiable condition" While at
tending the admiral witness received
her final divorce papers from Aims
worth.
Witness and the admiral were mar
ried at Boston July 25. 1906. They be-
gun housekeeping on an elaborate
scale in Brookline but because of debts
and the admiraFs intemperance Mrs.
Eaton decided to buy country place.
She said she had to discharge three
maids from the Brookline home be-
cause of the admiraPs attention to
them, and that Eaton had insulted her
daughter, June.
When the Assinippi place was
bought on August 81, 1907, the family
had only $500 in cash, with an indebt-
edness of $4,000 Mrs. Eaton stocked
the farm with cattle.
"I put my mind into making the
home success" she said ST did all
the homework and the admirals re-
tired pay, s375 a month, was used in
paying the debts. Had he lived an
other year we would have been free
and clear with money In the bank"

AS early as o'clock yesterday vast
crowds stood at the intersection of
Palafox and Garden streets-stood,
because spectators who were there for
a common purpose were SO closely
packed together that they were forced
to stand; and as the minutes passed
away, accessions to this vast assem-
blage poured in from neighboring
streets. 10 use a stereotyped phrase

traffic and completely upset the
schedule of the street cars and caused

pageants and who wanted to get

breaths. Autos motorcycles, taxis, BIZ
cycles, horse vehicles, and deliveries,
brushed each other in a friendly jostle,
stopped and moved on and again
moved slowly on, glad to have pro-
crossed a little, like the foot ball line
bucking on the second down and ten
Yards to gain Everybody pushed and
was pushed, with the greatest good
nature and police espionage or inter
vention was unnecessary.
What was the attraction, or antici-
pated attraction, that held this vast
crowd together at the above named
point? Was President Wilson expected
to deliver a short address from
balcony of the magnificent San Car
los, on his way to Mobile? Nothing
of the sort President Wilson would
have been delighted to stop off on his
way to the commercial congress had
his short itinerary permitted of so
doing.
TO SEE THE PARADE.
No, this vast concourse of humans
of all ages and condition came to wit
ness the circus parade. The rural dis
tricts were largely in the majority of
sight-seers and dominated points of
vantage.
Some ruralite would say "Bi!l less
go down to Government street TO see
that Teller" mo" would be the re-
ply" "They might come while we
were gone"
AS usual upon like occasions, there
were numerous and frequent alarms
relative to the coming of the ele-
plants" Abnormally increased power
of hearing detected now and then the
blatant notes of the approaching band,
when no band was playing.
THE HOUR ARRIVED AND PASSED
Ten o'clock came and passed, but
still there was noticeably no diminu-

Again you would hear Bill c. say:
''Why in the dingnation don't they

This elegant rebuke of the delayed
pageant was echoed throughout the
throng.

give up cherished idols and are the
last to lose faith in the elimination OF
cherished hopes, became panic-strick-

and England could not possibly lead
to any trouble.
Regret exists that any signs of i'll
feeling should have been displayed
over the situation. Officials point Z
that England, like some other pow,
recognized Huerta because she belize
him to be the best man to handle the
critical situation and she still holds
that opinion. Should, however, Pres
ident Wilson, after Sundays elections,
present a more practical solution t
will be sympathetically considered by
England.
After all, it is argued, the diverg-
ence of views between the United
States and England is a matter not
of aims but of methods.
The press generally agrees with the
government in this that the differences
Of views between the United States
and England are not serious. 1t de-
clares that all England desires is the
restoration of order in Mexico.

nent organ, says that while ENGLAND

sponsibilites as the United States does.

government not to interfere with the
elections, General Huerta will remain

The newspaper points out that

'"The sending of warships by other

EXHIBIT OF THE
TOMATO GIRLS
CLUB FINE ONE
WALTON AND HOLMES
COUNTIES ARE REPRESENTED,
WITH MISS MARY BRADLEY OF
GONZALEZ IN CHARGE.

No one should go to the Interstate
Fair without visiting the agricultural
building and looking over the exhibit
of the Girls Tomato Clubs. Miss Mary
Bradley of Gonzalez is in charge of
this exhibit, and will be Joined today
by Miss Myrtle Warren of DeFuniak,
who is at the head Of the Walton
county Girls Tomato Club.
There are three exhibits in one in
the tomato club display, Escambia in
the centre, with Walton on one side
and Holmes on the other, and the ar
rangement Is excellent. In three tiers
the canned tomatoes with their bright
labels have been placed, side by side
with tomatoes and other vegetables put
up in glass jars, all the work Of the
Young girls of these three counties,
who take a very important part in the
fair.
When the Girls Tomato Club was
started it was hardly realized how the
interest would grow, or what proper
lions the club work would assume. The
children who compose the club are
from ten to eighteen years old, and
every can Of tomatoes and other vege-
tables, and there are hundreds in the
exhibit, are put up by these girls
whether in tin or glass
paratus, and does her own canning and
labelling. The cans are well filled, that
one can tell by their weight, and be-
sides the tomatoes there are canned
corn, beans okra, pumpkin, squash,
beets. all in cans, and in glass both
ripe and green tomatoes, peach, pear
and many kinds eof preserves and
pickles, and all the work of these girls
between the ages of ten and eighteen.
Miss Bradley, who is in charge OF
the Escambia exhibit, has now been
manager of the Girls Tomato Club of
Escambia county for two years, and
Miss Myrtle Warren Of Walton coun-
ty and Miss Mary Lou Mathis OF
Holmes county during the present year.
How successful these young women
have been Is wonderfully illustrated in
their display.
Those who visit this exhibit may not
gain from it a proper conception of
how remarkable it is, unless they have
an opportunity to talk with one OF
these enthusiastic young women and
learn from them something OF the
manner in which these results nave
been attained.
Miss Bradley spoke very interesting
w of the work yesterday afternoon.
She illustrated her story with a picture
of a little ten-year- old girl, wearing a
big sun hat with a basket of toma-
toes. round and perfect, in her chubby
arms. This little ten-year-old girl mad
put up bushels of tomatoes from her
own tenth of an acre, doing alb the
work of canning herself.
Miss Bradley told how interested
these children are in the demonstra-
tons of the work, which she and the
other superintendent give from time
to time.
Each child cultivates a, tenth of an
acre, and cans her own tomatoes and
other vegetables, and any farmer with
years of experience might well De
proud of what these young people
have accomplished.
