EATON DANGEROUS Worse Than a Rattlesnake, Declares District Attorney—Defense Accuses Admiral of a Double Personality. ’ Plymouth, Mass, Oct. 29.—The case of Jennie May Katon, charged with the murder of her husband, Rear Admiral Joseph G. Eaton, was given to the jury in the superior court shortly after six o’clock tonight. ! Various exhibits, including bottles of | arsenic and letters written by Mrs. Katon, were taken to the vore . | to be considered by the jury in reach- | ing a verdict, in accordance closing instructions of Chief Aiken. Almost the entire day was taken up with the arguments of counsel, the. charge of Judge Aiken occupying only haif an hour at the end. Waiting for the Verdict. Mrs. Eaton was still in a private room at the courthouse with her coun- sel, William A. Morse and Francis J Geogan, at a late hour. Judge Aiken sent word from his hotel that he was prepared to go to the court house to receive the verdict at any hour of the night. A crowd of 230 people sat in the court room throughout the evening, | while as many more loitered about the outside of the building. It was be- lived that much of the early delibera- tions of the jury were devoted to ex- amining the exhibits in the case. These were 58 in number, and inciuded 32 letters written by Mrs. Baton and others. Mrs. Eaton “Loved Too Much.” William A. Morse, counsel for Mrs. Eaton, spoke for four hours, drawing a picture of the defendant as a loving, self-sacrificing wife, entirely justfied in her beliefs about her husband. She & # r" and her only fault that she “loved too much,” her at- torney declared, while he portrayed the admiral as a man of double personal ty, one in whom corruption was con- aled under the mask of a zenilema ly bearing. He asserted that the pr ecution hgd not proved a single count in its murder charge gainst Mrs. EBaton. Che accused woman,” he said, “does | not avail herself of any claim of in- sanity to. avoid condemnation, but bravely demands a verdict on the facts.” Mr. M asserted that his | client was not insane and argued that | the evidence owed 1le death of tie | admiral could not- have caused | by an insane person “More Dangerous Than Rattlesnake.” | The plea of District Attorney Albert F, Barker, after outlining the points of evidence agalnst the accused, asked that if the jury belleved the defendant | was irresponsible, she be found ‘not gullty by reason of insanity.” “She Is more dangerous than a rat- tlesnake and there is no teiling whom she may hit next if she is allowed her freedom,” he added. The district at- torney's argument occupied three ‘hour 1 After Judge Afken had delivered his charge he gave the case into the jury’s | hands at 6.13, announcing, however, that the jury might first go to supper | and begin deliberation on the guilt or innocence of Mrs. Eaton at 7.30. The Judge’s Charge. i In his charge Chief Justice Ailken said there were four verdicts possible. | | He_enumerated them as follows Not guilty. Not guilty by reason of insanity. Guilty of murder in the first degree. Guilty of murder in the second de- gree. Judge Aiken explained that a verdict of “not guilty by reason of insanity” carried with it “an order from the court committing the prisoner for life | to an insane asylum.” In connecticn with a verdict of | “murder in the first desree,” the judge | said, the jury must be satisfied that there was deliberate premeditation. He | warned the jury to take into consid- eration’ “misstatements of witnesses— including the defendant.” He said that Mrs. Eaton’s mental capacity should | be considered. He continued: A Motive Not Necessary, “If a pergon is incapable of appre- clating that an act which he or she is | about to commit is wrong, then that person is not responsible criminall. “If a person’s mind is in such a de- ranged state that the act may be call- ed an uncontrollable impulse, that per. son is not responsible, although he or | she may be able to appreciate the act ' is wrong.” Judge Aiken commented upon the! fact that the Eaton case is unique in that the government is the party con- | | tending that the defendant is of un- | sound mind.

Chi convi Oct. 20.—Objections to the of thirty of thirty-three 5 “dynamite plotters” at Indianapolis December were laid before the TUnited States circuit court of appeals today in an appeal of the men to have the verdicts set aside. On behalf of Frank M. Ryan, presi- dent of the Iron Workers' union, Olaf Tveitmoe, San Francisco, and the other labor union officers adjudged zuilty of complicity in dynamite plots, Chester H. Krum, their chief counsel, argued before the court as follows: Statute of Limitation. That even if the defendants had been guilty of illegally transporting dynamite and nitro-glycerine on pas- senger trains in violation of federal law, and even if they had blown up the work of contractors who refused to join the union, the statute of lim- itation had run against the offénse be- fore the men were tried. That the federal court at Indianapolis commitied an error in allowing Ortie . McManigal and Edward Clark, con- fessed dynamiters, to testify against the other men, because Clark and Mc- anigal were co-defendants and their imony wad incompetent. Not a Federal Offense. That the destruction of non-union work was an offense against the state and - not’ against the federal govern= ment.
