Whitman to examine him at Sing Sing reported ! he was sane, will be executed at 11 o'clock tonight Yor the murder of his parents-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Peack of Grand Rapids, Mich. Dr. Waite spent yesterday humming tunn. writing poems and talking to and Mrs. his brother and his spiritual adviser. Ever since was committed to the deathhouse the slayer has been of a poetical frame of mind. He hag writ- ten many verses. Yesterday afternoon he talked with his brother Frank, who has stood ¥ him, and with Dr. A. N. Petersen, the Presbyterian chaplain of the prison. Dr. Petersen: will accompany him to the electric chair. All arrangements are completed for the execution. The electric chair has been tested’ and nobody will be al- lowed “into the death chamber except prison officials as & précaution to pre- vent the: electrical apparatus being tampered with, runtll Warden Moyer admits the witnesses a few minutes ‘before Waite starts on the death marc Dr. Arthur Warren Waite, dentist and tennis player:of repute, was con- victed, on June 1, 1916, of poisoning his wealthy /fither-in-law, John I.

[ mysterious ‘telegram signed K. Adams” sent to Percy Peck at Grand Rapids, brother of Dr. Waite's wite, suggesting an autopsy and reading “suspicions ' aroused—démand = Aau- topsy.” The authorities took up the case and an autopsy showed Mr. Peck had died from arsenic poisoning. Dr. Waite confessed to the district attorney that he had bought arsenic three days before the death of hils father-in-law on March 12, but said he had done so on request of tho elderly man who told him he wished to commit suicide as he was despond- ent over the death of his wife, who died on January 30, twenty days aft- er she had arrived at Dr. Waite' home her.. To bear out this stal ment Dr..Waite tried to bribe a for- mer negro servant to testify that she knew of Mr. Peck's desire to commit suleide, Attempts to End Own Idfe. ‘As the evidence against him begun to accumulate Dr. Waite made an un- successful attempt to kill himself by taking an overdose of. drugs.

Arriving in this city the couple found awalting them an expensively furnished apart- ment, a gift of the murdered man. A Bift of $3,000 was received from & maiden aunt of Mrs. Waite, a Miss Peck living at a hotel here. Dr. ‘Watte urged Miss Peck to give him’ more money ‘and subsequently the dentist got $30,000 from her which he said he would invest. On September 26, 1914, Dr. Waite. invited his father-in-law to come from Grand Rapids to live with him here, and a few days after, the defitist’ 'began a study of deadly germ dis- eases. He visited a specialist on bac- Waite met Margaret Horton, after- ward known as his “studio champion” and on January 10 when Mrs .Walite’s parents arrived in this city, Dr. Waits Horton registered at a fashionable hotel as “W.

He made the announcement of ck’s death, undertook arrange- ments for embalming the body and urged its cremation, appearing par- ticularly anxious to have the body shipped to Grand Rapids for burial. excusing his presence on pretense of having to perform an operation in New York, although he was never a surgeon. e state charged that Dr. Waite offered $9,000 to the undertaker who had embalmed the body if he would prepare a mixture containing arsenic and declare it had been used in em- balming the body. Dr. Waite received the sentence of death with utter unconcern. Before he was condemned to death hesaid In court: “I only wish I had more than one body to give and I hope that my soul may g6 on and serve hereafter those whom I have injured.” Waite’s Mother on Point of Death. Grand Rapids, Mich.,, May -24.-— Grief over the approaching execution of her son, Dr. Arthur Warren Waite may cause the death of Mrs. Warren Waite. The aged mother is critically ill at her home here. Physiclans who have been attending her almost con- [stantly for a week expect that she will be 'unable to survive the news of the dentfst's end. Following the death of her hus- band, which was attributed to a broken heart over his son’s actions, Mrs. Waite has been gradually falling. In her rational moments she pra’/s that- her son's life may be spared, and she still clings to- the idea that some’ circumstances will intervene to prevent his executlon. It is understood that Waite’s body will be returned here and buried be- side that of his father.
