Passing Of the 10000.

Accordingly. as told in Waite's par
tisl confession of Tuesday, the sus-
pected man, made desperate by the
thought that the law had him, says he
cashed a check for $500, and gave
Kane $4,000
Later the murderer sent letter 10
Potter, in which he begged the man
not 20 call him on the telephone, as
he had reason TO believe that has wire
had been tapped by the authorities.
This one point of the entire story
told by Waite was admitted yesterday
bv Potter when he WAS brought to the
District Attorneys Office. The under
taker said that he had received the let
ter and had destroyed i Immediately.
lie would not say what II contained, or
why the man should write him.
The letter was delivered 90 Potter
By the superintendent Of the Colos-
scum, the apartment house where
Waite lived.
The story which the undertaken re-
lated 20 the newspaper men differed
greatly from that which the prisoner
told Mr.. Swami. Potter said that he
went 10 see Waite a week ago last Sat
urday night regarding his bill for the
preparation and transportation OF
Peck's body from New York to Grand
Rapids. Waite had asked him. he said,
who had embalmed the body and had
requested that Kane be sent 10 see him.
Kane, Potter says, called upon the sur
geon dentist both Sunday and Monday
and told him afterward that Waite had
asked him what was in the embalming
fluid.
Potter continued by saying that
his suspicious were first aroused con
corning the death Of Peck by ques-
tons asked him by men from the Dis
trict Attorneys Office. He also said
that he gave a sample Of the embalm-
ing fluid used on the old man 70 detec-
tives in the employ Of Ray SCHNEIDER,
who has been investigating the case for
the Peck family.
"Did you not think Il was your duty
10 report Kane's conversation with
Waite to the District Attorney" be
was asked.
"The Board OF Health had passed on
the body" he answered shortly. "All /
wanted TO do was to keep out Of the

A RECORD
The largest issue of The Saturday Evening
Post ever published appears today.
1t contains 1O4 pages besides the cover
This record size is made possible by the
greatest volume of advertising ever carried
in single issue-24O columns.
1t is not special issue, built up by special
effort. In fact every one of the issues OF
the past four weeks and the next three
weeks far exceeds in amount of advertise
ing it's corresponding issue in 1915.
These increases simply represent the cumu-
lative result of the judgment and experience
of leading national advertisers over period
of many years.
We believe that the steady increase in the
volume of advertising in The Saturday
Evening Post is due to three basic causes:
|. An overwhelming belief in advertising.
?. An ever-growing reliance in The Satur-
day Evening Post as vehicle for
advertising.
3. A healthy confidence throughout
American business.
