Investigations Indicate Dr.
Arthur Warren Waite AC-
CuSed of Numbering Father
in-Law, Led Double Life

NEW YORK. April 1.-Detectives and
other criminal experts investigating the
part Or. Arthur Warren Waite, of New
York. is alleged TO have played in the
death of John f. Peck, millionaire drug
manufacturer of Grand Rapids, Mich,
declare il is like investigating the &C
tiCns of two entirely different men.
They say investigation indicates
Waite led a double life. In one he was
a dentist practicing among wealthy resi-
cents of New York, the husband of an
heiress-to-be and a polished gentleman
who moved in society circles.
in another phase of his life, they say,
he maintained apartments for woman
other than his wife and planned ways
by which he could amass a fortune.
Peck died in waite's New York apart
ments March 10, just six weeks after
tho death OF his wife I'm the same room.
according TO the police. The body OF
Peck was sent TO Grand Rapids.
Then A telegram. addressed to Pecks
son in Grand Rapids and signed only
with the initial e was found and In
vestigation started. The telegram, po-
lice say. read: suspicious aroused. De-
mand autopsies. Examine body. "E."
An autopsy. performed at the direction
Of District Attorney Swami. disclosed
that Peck's stomach contained arsenic.
The police say in January Mrs. Peck
visited the waites in New York at
Waite invitation. that Mrs. Peck died
January so: that Waite had the body
shipped &c Grand Rapids the same day
and had the body cremated.
The police say Peck had made a Will
in which half his fortune was TO so
10 his son, Percy. and half TO his daugh-
ter. Catherine. the wife of Waite. They
also say Waite induced his wife to
make a will in which he was named
beneficiary.
Waite is twenty-siX. He was born
III Grand Rapids of parents Of moderate
means. went through high school. then
was graduated from Michigan universe
ty with honors. He went abroad and
is said to have returned with stories
of great wealth he had earned through
practice of surgery in South Africa.
He had known Catherine Peck in
Grand Rapids. Last winter he met Miss
Teck and her mother at Palm Beach.
FLA, and after a short courtship Waite
and the girl of his childhood acquaint-
ance were married.
When sought by detectives in con-
nection with the Peck death mystery,
Waite was found in his apartments. The
police say he was in a stupor as a re-
suit Of taking opiates.
