SCIENCE DEFEATS DENTIST’S SCHEME TO ESCAPE CHAIR Original *of Craig Kennedy Tells How Waite's Crime Was Detected, By SEA Service NEW YORK, April 24.—'"When Dr. Arthur Waite, a New York <len tlst, was sent to the electric chlar for the poisoning j ■HBjHgs 1 ■ of his father-in- i ;%aJM law, the scientific Kps -Tajl inv e s tigation of Wm cr l flie was one of f. its most famous victories.” BPfe J| - < This is the etateiyfi ment of Dr. Otto j H. S c h u 1 t ze, S*4“ ! ' V jgj medical assistant : to the New York -t?®! district attorney, whom The Tndianapolis Times ™ has revealed as j the original of “Craig Kennedy, DR SCHULTZE scientific detive,” Arthur B. Teeve’s fiction hero. With Fictitious Name “The first suspicion that Waite's father-in-law, who died after a long illness, had come to his end through unnatural cause was when a telegram*, ‘suspicions aroused, insist on investigation’ was received by the son of the deceased. The telegram was signed with a fictitious rame. “The death certificate giving j typhoid as the cause of death had al- j ready been written out and advantage j had been taken of official permission i to remove the body from New York to I Grand Rapids, where it was to be cremated. “Acting on this telegram the son of the deceased wired to Grand Rap- j ids and had his family physician perform an autopsy. The physicians removed the stomach, sent it to Ann ’HE PUT TYPHOID CULTURES IN FATHER-IN-LAW’S SOUP.” Arbor for analysis, and was informed that the analysis disclosed the presence of arsenic. “Now Waite, defending himself against a charge of administering arsenic to the deceased, could escape if he could prove that the presence of arsenic was due to the embalming fluid, or by proving that the dead man had been an habitual user of arsenic. Attempt at Bribery “We later learned thae he had attempted to bribe the unde-taker to testify that arsenic had been used in the embalming fluid. ‘VBut science closed the opportunities to escape in either of these directions. Parts of the vital organs were shipped back to New York, where we submitted them to chemical analysis and microscopic examination. “This examination disclosed the presence of arsenic in crystalline form. The largest amount was in the stomach.: A smaller amount was in the intestines and the least in the liver. “Thus, from the nature of the arsenic and the manner in which it was distributed, we could draw the con elusion that the deceased had met death by arsenic administered through the mouth. “With murder established, the remainder of the facts were quickly gathered. Waite had planned to murder his wife's parents and then his wife In order to inherit their money. “His mother-in-law, while visiting his apartment, died without incurring suspicion. “Then he later attempted to do away with his father-in-law by placing typhoid cultures in the old mans soup. The father-in-law became ill and Waite tried to hasten his death by administering arsenic.” NEXT: The Stamford “murder mystery.” QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION Get Dr.^Edwards’ Olive Tablets That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute of calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years, and calomel’s old-time enemy, discovered the formula for ♦ Alive Tai.'et: while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, soothing vegetable laxative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. Ts you have a “dark brown mouth” —bad breath —a dull, tired feeling—sick headache —torpid liver—constipation. you'll find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets at bedtime. Thousands take them every night just to keep right. Try them. 15c and aQo.—Advertisement.

LABOR ORGANIZER SAYS‘HIGHER-DPS’ STARTED KU-KLUX Cincinnati Leader Deplores Workmen's Lack of Cooperation, The Union Label League, which is sponsored by Central Labor Union, will hold a family social at 729 Holmes Ave.. tonight, it was announced at a meeting of the central body Monday night. The great trouble with labor today is that working men are prone to forget that they are working men, and fail to cooperate with other working men, Robert Lyons, Cincinnati organizer of hotel employes, declared. “Every business man Is a worker,” Lyons asserted. He urged union men to assist in the work undertaken by the Union Isabel League, in supporting the sale of union made products. Lyons declared the Ku-Klux Klan was started by men "higher up,” who aro attempting to dictate to the laboring people. ' 'We have more Judges in the land right now than there is need for," he said. “Why should the people try to take the law into their own hands? I have been in Arkansas and I have seen what has gone on there. I do not believe in any organization that is harmful to labor.” Tom Ware, president of the Union Label League, urged cooperation of union bodies not already affiliated with the league.
