The witness said that the next day he saw Mrs. Horton and that she told him she loved him as much as ever and would do anything for him. He then told of a trip to the office of John H. Stanchf1eld, when, he said, he told that he had given arsenic to MT. Peck. Waite then said he couldn't remember anything of what took place in the next two or three days because he took so many drugs.
 What was the next thing you re- nembered ?" asked MT. Deuel.
 "I remember a tube of vaseline in Bellevue Hospital. I member a lot of people coming to see me, and I remember that the next day l was taken to the Tombs.'
 There was only one interruption in Naite's tale of death. It was when lie was seized with fit of coughing. Please pardon me, gentlcmen,' he said with a smile. I seem to have something in my throat
 An attendant brought him a glass of water, and in a few minutes he went on with his tale with little aid from his counsel It was evident that some settled opinion had formed in the minds of the jurors before Waite was nearly COne. Lney S1Hlle1 oltSll when he smiled.
 Waite's remarkable tale will be called by his lawyers story no sane man would tell, and his actions the actions that no sane man would conceive.
 Waite's Tale of Early Dcpravity.
 Before testifying regarding the murders Waite told a history of him. self full of crimes and instances ot had conduct, beginning with his teas ing the family cat and drowning her kittens.
 With the same demeanOr which he carried later in telling his modern m methods of murder, he described how he had avoided doing homework with the help of lying excuses. Once he climbed a fire escape at high school, stole the papers on an examination in German, copied out the answers and later passed with flying colors His first larceny, he said, was the pocketing of money derived from the sale of "extras' when he was a news hoy. He got through college, he said, largely by ferreting out lists of ques- tions an dother papers relating to examinations and passing his tests with their help.
 Later, he said, he stole from his father and mother, from his two brothers, from boarders with his family, and from grocers and others

who employed him during vacations. He lost his first five jobs, he said ofter being caught in acts of dis honesty.
 At the dental college at Ann Arbor University, he said that through playing ball he got behind in labora- tory work and failed to make a plate which had been assigned as part of the work of his class, so he stole one from another student. Later, he said, he stole $100 from thetrunk of an ether student He was exposed both times, was expelled from his frater- nifty, but managed to remain in the college.
 After being graduated he said, hc had gone to Edinburgh, where he had altered the diploma he obtained at Ann Arbor so as to give him a higher degree, so that he was permitted to make an effort to pass a two years course in six months. He said he did pass this course, but did so by cor rupting a clerk who furnished him with answers to the examination questions.
 Then, in tho year 1909, he said that he went to South Africa, where he was employed by the Wellman & Ir1OS0lan Dental com pany, nrSC Tn Cape Town and then in other cities There, he said, he received $1,500 the first year, with a percentage on the work he did and increases during each of the succeeding four years In this job, he said, he robbed the com pany of several hundred pounds by pocketing fees. He stole implements from his employers and opened their mails. Finally, he was caught, he said, and the company broke rela- tions with him shortly before the eX- piration of the contract.
 Picked Mother-in-law's Purse.
 The war in Europe, Waite said, was responsible for his coming to this country. He told of paying. court to Miss Clara Louise Peck, with whom he had corresponded while he was abroad candidly admitting that he did not love her and that he was after the Peck money. On a trip South with the Pecks, he said that he had picked the purse of his future mother-in- law obtaining a $5 bill. After the engagement was an- nounced Waite said he came back to New York, alleging that he had to continue with his surgical practice. His real reason, he said, was to play tennis, a game which he plays bril- liantly.

Waite Describes Attempts
 To Wurder W1fe's Parents
Jury Shocked By Cold Blooded Recital of Dentist Who
 Coveted Father-in-L avs Mllions-Poison and Germs Used.

New York. May 26-Dr. Arthur Warren Waite sat before Justice Shearn in the supreme court last night and told a jury trying him for murder that he had killed John F. Peck, his father-in-law, and Mrs Peck. He smiled as he explained the workings of subtle germs and poisons the lawyers couldn't understand; he looked straight ahead and talked in an even tone when he swore that he had killed the aged couple because he wanted their money.
 Dr. Waite not only admitted that he had killed the old man with ar Eenic and that he had killed his mother-in-law with disease germs. but that he had made several un- successful attempts on the life of his wife's aunt Miss Katherine Peck, B wealthy woman. who lived at the Park avenue hotel in this city.
 Dr. Waite was his own chief wit @ness to support the defense of in sanity, and he certainly made no er- fort to tighten the weight of the charges against him. Talking slowly and calmly, with the attitude of perfect frankness. he described how he had made scores of murderous at tempts on his wife's rich relatives, whose death. he hoped, would give him great wealth.
 The means Dr. Waite had been accused of using to kill those who stood between him and riches were deadly disease germs, arsenic and chloroform. He added several to the catalogue in his story last night He also used, he said. powdered glass chlorine gas, burned fy-paper, over doses of calomel and varinol.
 Tried to Give Him Pneumonia.
 When John E. Peck's powerful constitution resisted disease germs and poisons. Dr. Waite told how he Sought to give him pneumonia by driving him about swiftly in an auto mobile, having first taken care to leave the windows open: by damp ening the sheets of his bed; by turn Ing off the heat from his room and opening a window in mid-Winter.
 When he was asked what kind of germs he had administered to MT and Mrs. Peck, he said:
 'All death-producing ones''
 Asked to name them, he mentioned Typhoid, influenza, diphtheria an- thrax, pneumonia, tuberculosis, strep- tococcus, land some others.'
 Waite's tone at times seemed to in l dicate resentment that his father-in- l taw.s great vitality had protected him l against death from disease which
