memory for events back to your sixth birthday, but you haVe forgotten these recent incidents," said the prosecutor. "I don't remember," said Waite. "You don't wish to remember even your letter to Margaret Horton asked Mr. Brothers.
Waite did not answer. The smile gradually faded from his face and he seemed to become confused by the rapid fire of questions. He denied that he had been reading medical books but admitted reading a medical magazine.
The witness declared he did not tell District Attorney Swan anu Mr. Brothers while in Bellevue that the "man from Egypt" had killed Peck.' He said he had asked Mrs. Horton if she had heard of the '"man from Egypt," but denied that he had otherwise, spoken of such a character. "Are you crazy?" asked Mr. Brothers. "I think not." "After yofi took Mr. Peck's life you could not sleep, couid you?" "I slept perfectly," said Waite. "You wanted to
Kill
Denies Flight Plans.
"You and Margaret Horton were going to leave the country were you not? Where were you going?" "I don't know that we were going away." "Will you not tell the Jury that your yesterday pictured yourself worse than you were?" "No," said Waite. "Isn't that your defense?" "No, I admitted my guilt." "Havent you been Informed that if you made yourself out a madman some one in this jury would determine that you were crazy?" "No."
Waite denied that while in the hospital he pleaded with the district attorney to be lenient with him.
Waite said he did not know whether he told Dr. Karpas that every time he got into trouble he "bluffed" his way out. Justice Shearn, before whom Walte is being tried, then took Up the ^questioning and asked him if he knew it was wrong to steal. Waite said he did. "Then I assume you knew if it was wrong to steal, it was wrong to commit murder?" "I don't remember." "And j^ou were a member of the Christian Endeavor society. '-You learned it was wrong to take human life and against the laws of God?" "I don't remembfer."
Mr. Deuel ,then resumed redirect examination. Waite said his memory was not perfect, he supposed because of drugs. He declared that his mind is growing clearer. He identified several letters he wrote while in Bellevue and a poem, saying he had written poetry for several years. He said that when he wrote the poem he suspected he was charged with murder.
Dr. Gregory testified that while Waite was in Bellevue he asked the physician to Intercede for him with the district attorney, but the physicians declined.
Dr. Morris J. Karpas, formerly of Bellevue hospital, also was called as an alienist for the defense. He said he examined Dr. Waite ik the hospital, that he did not appear to be mentally well, and that he was abnormal in that his entire Interest was centered upon himself. "Waite told me," testified Dr. Karpas, "that he intended to kill his wife. He said he had not intended to stop at anything to gain his ends." "Waite gave me the impression of marked egotism, as being an egomaniac in a rparked degree," said Dr. Karpas. "Waite told me he intended to kill his wife as soon as they got to New York. He said he knew he could stop at nothing to gain his end I discovered a lack of moral sense. He thought only of himself. "I am Just as all right as you are," Walte said to him. "I don't realize I am In prison. I am happy. I don't stee why they make such a fuss about it. Mrs. Walte was not soulful. She was not romantic. She was kind and considerate, but was not my equal. I wanted to use her monev, and I expected to study and accomplish great things. I expect to go to the chair. I have always been for myself. If I wanted money I got it. If I wanted women I got them. I lived entirely for myself and forgot my parents and brothers. My life consist? of lying, stealing, cheating and killing. My personality was that of a gentleman, and I went in for music, art and poetry as far as I thought was required by my vocation."
Tells Life Story.
The dentist commenced his life story by recalling that as a child he was cruel to animals. He yawned as he told of shirking home work in his school days. Then he recounted how he stole examination papers, copied from the papers of his classmates, stole from every one for whom he worked as a boy and then robbed his fraternity brothers while attending the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. His thefts during his freshman year at i college amounted to about $500 he said.

yourself, didn't
you?" "Yes." "You fixed the embalmer. What had you to fear?" "Well, this trial."' "Why didn't you kill yourself?" "I made a pretty ^ood attempt at it," replied Waite. "You only obtained the cultures in which the germs are grown," said Mr. Brothers. "If you wanted to kill the Pecks why didn't you shoot them?" "I don't know."
Waite said he had never been punished In any way for any crime. "You have never been anything but a sneak thief, have you?" asked the prosecutor. "That's all." "You were a gambler. You told persons you played for high stakes that you lost In the Pock case?" "No." said Waite. "You planned deck's death to win $2,000,000 didn't you." "No, not that much."
The prisoner denied that he schemed to kill Peck early as last February.

TEERE HAUTE TRIBUNE.

He was expelled from, his fraternity while a sophomore for stealing, but was reinstated in his senior year.
After leaving college he told of a trip through Canada, where he made his living by cheating at pool. He then went to Scotland, where he took a special course in Edinburgh university. He said he "doctored" his diploma from the University of Michigan, up he could get credit for certain studies and thereby shorten his course in dentistry. From Edinburgh Waite went to South Africa, where he traveled for a dental supply house. He said he stole $1,500 from his employers that year and increased the amount each year of the ftve he worked for them. He also told of hushing up, by the payment of a small sum, a scandal in which he was involved with a young woman.
Fed Mrs. Peck Germs.
Waite said he put ground glass in a can of marmalade and gave it! to Miss Katherine Peck, prior to his marriage. He also put disease germs in a can of flsh and gave that to her. Afterward he frequently gave her various germs, including typhoid,,while he was studybacteriology. He tried to produce the germs himself he said, but his cultures failed and he purchased them. He was able to buy germs of diphtheria, pneumonia, influenza, spinal meningitis and other diseases.
He had given Mrs. Peck millions of germs, he said. Asked how many kjnds of germs he administered to Mr. Peck, Waite replied: "Typhoid, diphtheria, pneumonia and others. I gave him a spray and put diphtheria and later pneumonia germs in it and had him spray his throat every time he 'went out. They had no effect and I tried to make them stronger. '1 put water in the sheets of his bed so that he would catch cold, but he did not. I also put a chemical compound in his room, which would create a poisonous gas, but It failed to produce results. One night I turned on the gas, but the superintendent of the building came up and turned it ofT."
Telling of his ecqualntances with Mrs. Horton, Waite said he heard her sing at a theater here last fall and went frequently jyst to hear her. He met her behind the scenes, he said, and saw her every day after that becoming "very fond of her." "Did she seem to reciprocate?" asked Mr. Deuel. "She did," Walte replied.
FREED ON WIFE'S PLEA
The need of some new method of punishment was demonstrated in the Circuit Court Friday morning when Herman Wallace, 30 years old, appeared before Judge Pulliam to answer the charge of wife and child desertion. The wife, poorly clad and with a baby cn her arm, was in the court room and asked that the sentence be suspended for her husband so that she, and their four children might not be left destitute. Deputy Prosecutor Foley- told the court that Wallace had made some provision for the needs of his family since late last fall and he agreed to a suspended sentence.
Judge Pulliam sentenced the man to from 1 to 7 years in the reformatory &nd suspended sentence on condition that he support his wife and children and keep out of trouble, telling him that it was through no feeling for him that leniency was shown but compassion for those dependent upon him.

Fifteen Hundred People Watch the Indian Massacre by Howard Comity "Indians."
LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 26.—More than 1,500 persons watched the acting for motion pictures of a massacre by Indians of the people of a settlement of whites, which was given yesterday afternoon in Reser*s woods, three miles south of here, by the Chicago company making the Indiana centennial film. The film will be shown at the centennial celebration in Indianapolis and at many other places in the state.
Many Lafayette people helped in producing the massacre scene. Bernice Bresnahan, age five, daughter of a Lafayette policeman, took the part of a baby who was seized and "scalped."
Battle of Tippecanoe.
Many scenes are being acted each day by the players here from Chicago, and the photographing of all the incidents up to the principal scenes, the battle of Tippecanoe, soon will be completed.
The battle of Tippecanoe will be played tomorrow or Saturday, If bad weather does not interfere. Red Eagle, a Sioux Indian, and Strongheart, another Indian, are taking the most prominent parts. Because of the modern appearance of the real Tippecanoe battlefield, with its iron fence and marble monument, it has been decided to stage the battle in Reser's woods. Several hundred persons will be used in the scene.
Show Lincoln as a Boy.
One of the interesting scenes yesterday was a reproduction of the life of Abraham Lincoln In his boyhood, in southern Indiana. Lon Osier, a farmer, living south of Lafayette, who resembles Lincoln very much, was induced to play the part. John Schilling played the part of Lincoln as a child. At the place where the Lincoln pictures were taken a log cabin was constructed to represent the home of Lincoln family, and actors were chosen for the father of Lincoln and other characters. The film will show Lincoln chopping wood and building rail fences.
After completing the work here the movie actors will go to Culver military academy, next week, to use the famous horses of the black horse troop In a reproduction of the Morgan raiders of civil war days.
