WIFE SEES WAITE
AS A SANE FIEND
Saws That if Mrs. Horton
Aided in Plot She

Mrs. Clara Peck Waite. who will VOL
unfairly testify against her husband
Or. Arthur Warren Waite, at his trial
Yesterday for the first time received
delegation of newspaper men in the
apartment of friend with whom she
is STAYING. At 1875 Claremont Avenue.
She said at the outset that her story
already had been told accurately and
thoroughly in The Tribune this week.
Mrs. Waite was dressed in mourn
inc and wore a veil. She went brlefly
over the events already narrated III
The Tribune without emotion. except
when she referred to the deaths or her
mother and father at the hands or
her husband. Then her voice broke
and her eyes filed.
The prospect Of her appearance on
the witness stand. facing her husband
and Mrs. Margaret Horton, the woman
Of Yates Plaza studio, even the death
penalty inflicted on Waite are as noth.

OF course, she knew what she was

Mrs. Horton Is Scored.
"To me it is simply incomprehensl-
Bile how a woman could do such
thing. Here in New York that sort OF
thing seems to be common. Why. pco-
ple here really don't seem to think
anything about such things. | be-

society under such conditions as that.
I do not condemn the men any more
than the women. We shall never have
good true men until the women them
selves are good and true. Isn't that
so ?" she said. turning with philo-
sophical smile on her interviewers.
Mrs Waite spoke repeatedly about
how good Arthur had been to her
father and mother. and how her mother
had idolized him UP to the hour OF her
death She said she simply could net

will sit tomorrow in the Mechanics
Trust Building, in Grand Rapids, and
Frank A. Stivers will sit on Saturday
in the First National Bank Building, in
Ann Arbor. District Attorney Swami
will be represented BY his deputy
Francis Y. Mancusc. and the defendant
will be represented by Joseph F. Crater
who is associated with Walter X
Deuel.. counsel for Waite.
District Attorney Swami has learned
that Yates knowledge Of the personal
fortune OF mis- father-in-law exceeded
that of Percy S. Peck. the dead mans
son. The property list found in Waite's
possession proved this.
One Of the Grand Rapids witnesses
who will testify for the prosecution is
A. d. Rathbone. business man. who
travelled from New York 10 Grand
Rapids on the same train with Waite
just before Mr.. Peck was poisoned At
every opportunity Waite switched the
talk 70 his father-n-law's property
holdings and he even asked Mr.. Rath-
bone what the Peck homestead in
Grand Rapids would bring under sale.
This and other testimony will be in
troduced for the purpose of showing
that Waite was not only sane while he
was plotting the deaths of Mr.. and Mrs.
Peck but that he was inteligently pre-
pairing himself to manage the property
when it finally should come into his
possession.

To Justice Erlanger bits of evidence

to one Of his three daughters by i
