DIR. ARTHUR WAITE CUTS
 HIMSELF WITH BROKEN GLASS
Prisoner Was Found Bleeding From
 Wound in His Chest.

Sing Sing Prison, N. r. July 25.- Dr. Arthur Warren Waite, awaiting electrocution here for the murder of his father-in-Iaw, John E. Peck of Grand Rapids, Mich, was found in his cell in the death house" tonight bleeding from a wound on his chest made in the shape of a cross. The prisoner had cut himself with a piece of broken glass.
 How Waite got possession of the glass could not be explained. It is presumed that when he was taken out for exercise in the courtyard he pick ed it up when the vigilance of his guard was relaxed and concealed it until he returned to his cell.
 Waite was removed to the prison hospital, but he steadfastly declined to answer questions. The prison au- thorities believe if he had intended to kill himself he would have infict- ed the wound elsewhere than on his chest. The injury is not serious. A strict watch will be kept on Waite when he returns to the death house.
