Eaton baby adopted as wife cites charity defense
In a Washington Fort Suslon report from August 25, details emerge on Rear Admiral Eaton and his second wife’s marital estrangement. Court records show the two adopted the infant in March two months after its birth, and the wife claims charity motivated her actions while disputing the child's paternity. She asserts the admiral’s conduct toward women and alleged poisoning attempts, while the admiral proclaims innocence and readiness to prove the child was not his.
