Peck, whose father and mother were slain by Dr Waite, made but one re- quest of Axeistant District Attorney Brothers before the trial started “LT realize the importance of keer Ing any arporent desire for vengeance on my part out of this case,” he said, “but I want to ask you just this one favor; give me a seat some place in that court room, from the beginning of the trial to the end, where [I can keep my ge on that man and so, mo- ment by moment. watch the hope fading from his face.” | The request was granted and young Peck took full advantage of the privilege, He kept his eyes fixed in- tently on the defendant every moment he was in th. court room. Justice Shearn carefully warned the jurymen against sympathy for Dr Waite and his family and against re- fentment due to horror aroused by the lefendant's frightful, analytical ond detailed confession to them of the Killing of old Mr. Peck and bis Wife. “There Is no such defense known to the law as ‘moral imbecility," he faid. “It may be well known In the medical fraternity, but It is no de- fense in proof that the accused is a habitual criminal or that he is @ moral pervert.” Justice Shearn referred to the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the case of Hans Schmidt, the pseudo priest murderer, as authority for this ruling. NUDGE ORDERS MORAL IMB CILITY PLEA DISCARDED. “You do not need experts to tell you,” continued the Court, “whether this man is sane or insane. They may aid you in forming your own opinion, based on your own good sense and Judgment. But since the defense has offered the defense of unsoundness of mind, the burden of proof to the con- trary must be established by the State. “Gentlemen, you are not to assume from things said to you by counsel for the defense and some of the tes- timony, that you twelve laymen are to sit as a medical clinic. It would be an absurdity, when eminent phy- sicians differ, to ask you to decide whether the defendant is medically sane or insane, Your question is: ‘Is he responsible in law? Measure the evidence by simple and reasonable standards, Was he suffering from a disease which prevented him from knowing what he was doing or from knowing that he was doing was wrong? No plea of ‘moral imbecility’ is admissible. We must not confuse moral perversion with mental dis- ease.” The court referred to Dr. Waite's and those of the District Amorney, were kept under observation by the prosecutor through Dr. Fria According to Dr. Friar, the even Iwent over with Dr, Waite the deqs he meant to exhibit to the alleniots as proof of his irresponsibility. LAWYER PLEADS WAITE 8 t NT TO ASYLUM. “1 do not think this jury wants to jsend such a man to the electric johair,” said Mr. Deuel, after recall- ing all the testimony showing Dr. Waite a “born eriminal,” driven help- ssly from crime to crime by a men- ai disease of which cunning and cupidity are merely symptoms, | “But you gentlemen ean hardly do- | sire to send such a man at large Into soclety, [Ido not think so, He should be kept safe and rendered harmless unable to repeat the crimes such as , he has perpetrated. The District At- torney has seen fit to have a witness tell you such men were not received in asylums or if received, were turned jout. Something must be the matter | with an asylum which would turn out a man Hable to commit such crimes. ‘The witness limited his an- swer by saying the patients to whom he referred had not been guilty of stich crimes as proved in this case. “I promise you that if this defendant is put in a proper asylum, no member of his family will ever make any effort to get him out. I promise to seek to prevent such a thing at my own ex- pense.” “Don't you think you might confine your remarks to the evidence?” sug- gested Justice Shearn. Mr. Deuel concluded with an appeal to the humanity of the jury fn dealing with a man uncontrollably disposed to crime by a mental disease. Assistant District Attorney Broth- ers portrayed Dr. Waite as an Intelli- gent, daring, resourceful criminal, who to-day would be going free in the enjoyment of a large fortune and suspected by no one had it not been for a telegram based on intuition from his wife's cousin, Miss Hard- wicke, to Percy Peck in Grand Rap- ids, Mr. Brothers said: “Alienists have had the audacity to suy that this man did not know what he was doing when he poisoned Mr. Peck. What did he do? His wife had said her last good night to her father; at the defendant's suggestion she helped him prepare a couch where tho solicitous husband could watch over the old man. “Mr. Peck was coughing and groan- ing with the agony caused by the aw- ful poison, Waite took a pillow from the living room, went into the bed- testimony that he knew what he was doing and it was wrong, and said the jury must not take Dr, Waite’s word ap final, necessarily, on this point. Justice Shearn began the delivery of His charge by thanking the jury for its patience in sitting for long hours and ite close attention to all witnesses. He commended the law- ‘8 oa both’ sides for their refrain- ing from technicalities and bickering. “It la not necessary for me to re- view to the jury the evidence in this tase; I doubt If you can ever erase it from your minds,” he said. Dr. W. Friar, a physician await- ing trial in the Tombs for attacking @ girl, was not called as a witness by the State. He had told the District Attorney Dr. Waite, returning to the Tombs after his examinations by alienists, boasted of having fooled them and told of his plans to “put it over on them” to a still greater ex- tent. 2 George N. Brothers, the Assistant District Attorney in charge of the prosecution, sald he saw no need to prolong the trial by adding Friar's testimony. The behavior and conversation of Dr. Waite while he was in the Tombs, during the time of his examination by allenists engaged by his own counsel HE STRUGK T RIGHT AT LAST After Suffering Almost Two Years, ‘Fruit-a-tives” Brought Relief, MR.

A little later Mr. Brothers said: “Is this the sort of man you want to stnd to Matteawan, where, some bright sumnier morning, when the milkman comes, he can walk out the front gate’ — “I must admonish the District At- torney,” said Justice Shearn, as Mr. Deuel sprang to his fest, ‘‘as I did the attorney for the defense. Mr. Brothers said the jury was not concerned with the question as to whether Dr. Waite was “normal.” It was enough, he said, to be sure he had bought poison,.knew it would Kill and used it, knowing it was a forbidden act. He played for the biggest stake in the world, his life against a fortune and his life is a forfeit, Mr. Brothers declared. Dr. Waite did little smiling at to- day's session. He sat in gloomy si- lence, his cheek propped on his left fist, staring into vacancy. “Shall a smile be a defense against the charge of murder, gentlemen Mr. Brothers asked in concluding, Justice Shearn began to charge the Jury at 12.20 o'clock. The examination of Drs, Smith Ely Jelliffe, W. B. Mabon and Menas T. Gregory by Assistant District Attor- ney Brothers to-day was notably brief in contrast to the four hours used yesterday by Drs. M.
