Peck, a wealthy drug manufactur- er of Grand ids, Mich., came up yesterday when Miss 'Catherine Peck, a sister of the murdered man, made a demand of $7,800, which was part of a sum of money Waite had paid to Eugene Kane, an embalmer, to swear that he (Kane) had used ar- senic in the fluld with which he em- | balmed the body of Mr. Peck. As the basis of her claim Miss Peck called attention to the testimony of Dr. Waite on his trial, in which she said he admitted that the.money was part of $40,000 he had gotten from her some time previous to-the murder of her brother. She told the officiala of the property division of the depart- ment that she could prové by other evidence that the money belonged to her. As it is necessary under the law to obtain a court order before returning any property, Miss Peck was instruct= ed to take up the matter in the su- preme court. She left the bullding to 80, before Justice Clarence J.\Shearn, who presided Waite's trial, but did not return while the, property. division was open. Miss Peck was mucly dis- would have to be identified. Detecti John Cunniff, of District Attorney Swann's staff, .who worked on the ‘Walite case and knew the Pockl. Idm- tified’ her satisfactorily. Kane's story provided one of ' the. early sensations of the Peck murder. He was called in as embalmer when ‘Waite’s father-in-law died from the effects of the poison. , A few days later, when the dentist had been sus- pected ahd the autopsy had been per formed, resulting in the discovery. of arsenic, Dr. Waite met" ane by ape pointment near a garage and told him that he wanted the embalmer .to swear ‘that there was arsenig in the fluld. Dr. Waite handed Kane 'a: check for $9,800 and departed,: The embalmer, bewildered by the situation, put the check in his pocket. A half hour later Waite met him again and renewed his request in an excited manner, ending by putting a roll ‘of bills in Kane's pockets. Kane went to Orfent. Point, L, I, the next day and” buried the money in the sand nearby. When he was later suspect- ‘ed he gave himself up to the police and took them to the spot. The 1, which contained $7,800, was turned over to the police and offered as evi- dence at Waite's trial. RAIDROADS REPLY.
