New York, May 23.-While DR.. AL
eXander Warren Waite, lothario and
man about town, on trial for his life
for the murder of his father-in-law
millionaire John E. Peck of Grand
Rapids, Michigan, sat in court today
and gazed almost senselessly at the
floor while the prosecution brought
out the cold and damaging facts of
his poison plot.
1t was testified that a total Of four
grains of arsenic was found in the
viscera of John E. Peck, that it was
taken through the mouth and could
not possibly have been used in the en-
balming fluid after death, that the
brain Of Peck contained choloroform
(the prosecution in opening said that
Waite held handkerchief saturated
with chloroform to Peck's head be-
fore death).
The DR.. Waite on March 9, three
days before Peck's death purchased
10 grains of the drug with which to
poison a sick cat"

Will HONOR
SOLDIER DEAD
Preparations Being Made All Over
State to Observe Memorial Dav.
(By United Press Association

(By United Press Association.)
Madison, Wis, May 23-Prepara-
lions are being made in nearly every
city in the state to pay honor to the
$4,000 Wisconsin soldiers who met
death on southern battlefelds, in hos
pitfalls, and in prison camps, on May
80, Memorial Day.
The custom of honoring the Wis
consin soldiers who died in war was
started by Governor Fairchild in 1868
when he issued proclamation to the
residents of Madison asking them to
join in the national custom of observ-
ing Memorial day.
Among those graves which will re-
ceive marked attention will be that of
Louis P. Harvey, former governor of
the state who lost his life in the spring
of 1862 while on an errand of mercy
to the south.
Governor Harvey went to the south
following the battle of Shiloh-the
bloodiest battle ever fought on A
merican soil. Following the battle
thousands of wounded soldiers were
rushed to hastily prepared hospitals
Two regiments of Wisconsin soldiers
had been cut virtually to pieces-the
Sixteenth and Eighteenth Infantry.
On account of the great number of
wounded they lacked medical atten-
ton.
When Governor Harvey heard of
the battle and the great need for medi
cal aid he sent to every part Of the
