MRS. EATON Mil
Woman's Son-in-Law Tells o
Belief Husband Was Whole

ADMIRAL'S WILL OFFERED
Bulk or Property Goes to Widow and
in Event of Her Death to Her
Younger Daughter, "With
Exception of $5000.
PLYMOUTH. Mass.. Oct. 22. The evi
dence on which the prosecution expects
tn nnnvlct nrrs. Jennie May h.aton
th. mnriipr nf her husband. Rear-Ad
miral Joseph G. Eaton, was practically
concluded today when the Governmen
YTstprl its case.
The last witness, Ralph P. Keyes,
huchnnrt nf Mrs. Eaton's older daugh
ter June, testified that he once heard
Mrs. Eaton tell his wife that the A3
miral had nut away more than 100 men
on v,! shlD at one time by means of
nnlson.
Kpvps said to the best of his know!
edge, the conversation referred to took
place the night of Wednesday, March
R three days before the Admiral's
death. According to the witness, Mrs.
Eaton came to his home in Medford
to see June on that date, and as the
latter had left for Assinippi to visit her
mother. Mrs. Eaton remained In ilea
fnrri until June returned home that
night.
Death Follows AVIfeVl Vlnlt.
In the conversation which ensued be
tween the mother and daughter, Keyes
testified that he heard June say she
had Just had a talk with the Admiral
In Assinippi. and that he had de
clared that he was going to Europe
soon. June also said, according to her
husband's testimony, that the Admiral
asked her whether she cared If her
mother and her husband were put out
nf th wav.
"I'll have to go down and look after
him," was Mrs. Eaton's comment in re
ply to June's story, as Keyes heard it.
Keves testified that Mrs. Eaton went
to Assinippi the next morning. The
Admiral died on the following Satur-
ii si v morninc
The prosecution contends that the
first dose of poison was given to the
Admiral on Thursday.
Will Leaves All to Wife.
Keves further said Mrs. Eaton de
clared that tho Admiral punctured herl
arm with hypodermic needles while
she slept and that one of her front
teeth was loose because the Admiral
had Injected something into her Jaw.
In cross-examination Keyes said he
heard Mrs. Eaton make such remarks
as those frequently, and not merely on
one occasion mentioned. Just before the
Admiral died.
The District Attorney's attempt to
ask questions about the parentage of a
hild adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Keyes
was frustrated by Chief Justice Aiken,
who declined to allow the witness to
answer.
At the conclusion of the testimony
Hie prosecution put In several ex
hibits, among them the will of Admiral
Eaton. This gives the bulk of his
property to Mrs. Eaton. In the event
nf her death, everything is to go to
her younger daughter, Dorothy, with
the exception of a bequest of 55000 to
June Keyes.
The police investigations of Admiral
Eaton's death was the subject ot testi
mony of John H. Scott, who described the
linding of the will. On his first visit
to the Eaton home on March 10, Mrs.
Eaton told him, he said, that she could
not see the necessity of an Investi
gation, as the doctors had pronounced
death due to natural causes. She also
said that the Admiral used both opi
um and morphine and that she had
pawned her Jewels to pay his bills, al
though she knew he was trying to
poison her.
Scott said a search of the drug stores
in the vicinity of or in Boston, Wash
ington, Georgetown, D. C, and Alex
andria, Va., failed to disclose anyone
who had sold poison to Mrs. Eaton.
A letter written four years ago by
Mrs. Eaton to Dr. Charles H. Colgate,
Jr.. a Rockland physician, was read
into tho record. In the testimony Mrs.
Eaton complained that the physician
had been rude to her. The letter, in
part, follows:
"I came to you for advice, for it is
the brain of a world-renowned man
who is going. I gave up an elegant
home In Brookline to bring this poor
deluded man out into the country to re
gain his health, which I thought was
caused by drinking to excess and. too
much money and social obligations, etc.
Trouble of "Deep Origin."
"After hard, long, earnest, consclen
t'.ous work, I proved to myself the trou
ble is of deeper origin than whisky ana
wear and tear of city life. I am from
a fine old family and a lady accustomed
to the best class of society all my life
A woman who has been entertained and
entertained the aristocratic people of
the United States, and has always had
the reputation of being a Christian
woman and a lady by all that the
word 'Lady' implies, to be treated in the
very uncalled-for manner of this after
noon, to me Is unpardonable."
Another letter from Mrs. Eaton to
Dr. Colgate, written after the death of
the Eaton 3 adopted child, also was in
troduced. In this letter Mrs. Eaton
wrote:
"I hold you morally responsible for
the death of my boy. Had you examined
the Admiral for his sanity you would
have saved the life of my dear little
boy."

clly revert to the Government, have

Promoter's Circular Tells Prospec
tive Customers if They Cannot
See Golden Opportunities
They Ought to Die.
LOS ANGELES, Oct 22. Liberties al
leged to have been taken with geog
raphy by Dr. John Grant Lyman, the
Panama land promoter, were described
today to the Jury in the Federal Court,
which is hearing his trial on charges
of having made fraudulent use of the
mails.
Edward A. Reagan, special prose
cutor, exhibited two maps of Montijo
Bay, an Isthmian harbor. One was a
certified copy of a map used by the
United States War Department. The
other was one Lyman was alleged to
have had when promoting land sales
for the defunct Panama Development
Company. The Government map showed
an Island In the bay, but the .one Gov
ernment agents said they had taken
from Lyman's office was minus that
geographical feature.
Map Supplied With River.
Another change in Lyman's maps
from those used by the Government
was said to show a river running where
it never was designed by Nature to
run through the Agua Dulce tract,
where sales were said to have been
illegally made by the defendant.
T. P. Smith, a salesman for a printing
establishment, testified concerning the
printing for Lyman of various circu
lars and pamphlets, all of which were
read to the jury and all of which con
tained glowing descriptions of nature's
bounty in Panama and the ease with
which land and a lifetime sufficiency
could be obtained.
Golden Promise Held Out.
One circular credited to Lyman read:
"I do not want to have anything to
do with 'the man from Missouri,' he
has to be shown,' and it takes so long
to "show him" that the opportunity for
him to do anything thereafter is lost.
Anyone who cannot see for himself
the golden opportunities awaiting him
In Panama, the modern Garden of Eden
ought to lie down under the mat
his back door and die."
Another declared that while there
had been little prospecting for gold in
the isthmian republic, . the Panama
government had obtained gold worth
more than $400,000 in golden images
found in various parts of the country.
The circular said that the images had
undoubtedly been fashioned by pre
historic people from virgin gold," inti
mating that there still might be mucn
or that precious metal there.

Until 9:15 o'clock next Saturday night the Lipman, Wolfe & Co. store stands prepared to sell
to the first- comers.
The choicest Oriental rugs in sizes from the small prayer rug to the room and carpet-size, at
wholesale cost. '
Again we repeat that at no time, at no sale, at no place, not even in Constantinople, havz
Oriental rugs been sold to the public at such remarkable prices.
The selling up to now has been phenomenal. From today until Saturday night we expect to
excel all records.
Please remember that this store stands back of every rug in this sale, the same as at all other
times in the year.
The right-kind of rugs have much more to do with making the spirit and atmosphere of the
home than many people think.
It is not the number of rugs, nor the costliness that counts most. A few even one rug in a
room that suits the surroundings makes a wonderful difference in the effect they havz upon who
see or live with them.
Attention given to the proper selection and harmony in your home furnishing in most instances
prevents ill judgment.
We can help you if you will take a little time and allow us to extend the service of an expert
Oriental rug connoisseur who has charge of our Oriental Rug Bazaar.

Early Morning Fire,
Loss of $10,000.
CANBY, Or., Oct. 22. (Special.) The
Stefanl sawmill, known for many years
as the Adkins mill, was completely de
stroyed by a fire that was discovered
at 3 o'clock this morning, the loss be
ing placed at $10,000, with no insur
ance. When discovered, the blaze was
eo far advanced that nothing could
be done to save it, Dut the employes
were organized Into a bucket brigade
and succeeded in saving a large quan
tity of lumber piled near the mill. As

hours after that, it Is thought to be
of Incendiary origin, but no evidence

Before the ruins were cold, A. Stef
fanl, the proprietor, had made plans
for the immediate reconstruction of
the mill, a force, of carpenters being
now on the ground. He says he will
have an entirely new mill in operation
