The moment the formal proceedings were ended she put her hands on the shoulders of her at- wyrpeys, William A, Morse and Fran- cis_ ). Geogan, and exclaimed: These are the greatest lawyers Massachusetts Mrs. Eaton sat in a private room at the courthouse until two o'clock this morning. Then she w permitted to go to the judge's lobby® where she slept on a couch until awakened at 4.30 and summoned to the courtroom. Judge Cautions Jurers. After the foreman had announced the verdict Chief Justice Aiken warned thé jurors to keep secret the proceed- ings in the jury room and to say noth- ing aboui the various steps by which the verdict had been reached. From the length of their deliberations it was thought -the jurors were pretty evenly divided duripg the greater part of the night-and in view of the court’s careful explanation in Rhis charge of the manner in, which the defendant’'s mental state might enter into the case, many of the spectators believed that gome of he jurors for a time might have favored a verdict of not guilty by reason of insani Nearly two hundred persons, of whom had remained all night, present in the courtroom to hear the verdict. Among them were a few wo- men. in some Her First Flow of Tears. After Mrs. Eaton had left the court- room the jurors through their foreman asked that they might be allowed to meet her. The permission was grant- ed and they formed a semi-circle in the corridor. Mrs, Eaton came out from the judge’s lobby and thanked them individually. As she did so she burst into tears for the first time since her trial started, A little later Mrs. Eaton gave out the following statement: “I am so glad; glad most of all be- eause of my aged mother and my lame | { | The land { counsel on the shoulders. were | child, both of whom need me. It means so much to them| I shall go home probably late today and 1 hope that a new life will be opened to me and that the trials and tribulations which have been mine in the past are ended.” Verdict Was Expected. Her chief counsel, Mr. Morse, said: “It was Mrs. Eaton’s appearance on the stand, an unusual event in any capital case and a remarkable one where a woman was on trial for her life, which decided the defendant’s in- nocence in the minds of the jurors. verdict was what we expected. it frees an innocent woman but leaves the end of the admiral, her lmshand For six months I have tried to find out what was behind the on. which caused his death, but my investigations have developed no satisfactory explanation. It must probably remain a mystery.” Rendering the Verdict. At 5.07 the court came in. Mrs. Eaton entered the courtroom, looking a little tired. The air was chiily and she wore a heavy coat. She sat down and clasped her hands and as the Jjurymen filed into the room she folded her arms. The jury came in at 5.09. A moment later the roll was called. The defendant was ordered to look at the foreman, James A. Thomas of Middleborc “Have you agreed upon a verdict?” came the question. “We have,” replied the foreman. “What is your verdict?” “Not guilty.” A smile lighted up Mrs. Eaton's face she leaned over and patted her The court’s caution of secrecy was imposed on the jurors and they were discharged. | Preferred Electric Chair to Insane Hospital. District Attorney Albert S. Barker, i who retired early last night, did not to hear the verdict. Frederick G. Katzmann, come into cou His assistant, was present. Mrs. Eaton, during her seven months’ confinement in tle Plymouth county here, has said repeatedly that she ould rather go to the electric chair than to an insane asylum. Through- out the trial her counsel insisted that her mind was sound, while the district attorney frequently suggested that she might be insane. GARMENT WORKERS’ WAGES.

Fairbank Court Evidence to Value of Rheuma Before Using Judge Barhorst Was a Cripple on Crutches From Attacks of Rheumatism. If you suffer from Rheumatism and do not read this advice, then the terri- ble disease must have robbed you of your power to be fair to yourself: “1, John Barhorst, Justice of the Peace of McLean Township, Ft. Lo- ramie, Ohio, do certify that after treat- ment by three doctors without re- sult, I have been cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by using two bot- tles of RHEUMA. It is now two years since I used the remedy, and I am still as well as ever. Previous to using RHEUMA, I was a cripple, walk- ing with crutches, and 1 feel it my duty to let other sufferers from Rheu- matism know what it will do. The re- sult seems almost miraculous to me. 1 have advised RHEUMA to at least @ dozen persons, and each one speaks as highly of it it as I. I will answer anyone suffering from the ase if a two-cent stamp is enclosed.
