WAITE CEFENcE INSANITY
New York Dentist on Trial for Murder.
ina Father-in-laW.

New York. May 22--Dr. Arthur War
ren Waite, the young dentist and ten
mis- player, who was placed on trial to-
day before Justice Clarence j. Shearn
and jury in the criminal branch of
the supreme court charged with the
murder of his wealthy father.in-law.
John +. Peck OF Grand Rapids, Mich,
not only administered deadly disease
germs and poison to his victim, but
applied chloroform to his nostrils until
he died, It was alleged by District
Attorney Edward Swami in his open
ing address for the state.
The trial, which began shortly after
10 O'Clock this morning, moved rapidly.
A jury was selected in less than three
hours. and the district attorney con
sumed only half an hour in his formal
presentation of the States case,
Meantime, Waite. who was neatly
dressed in a blue suit and sat by his
counsel, appeared as much unmoyed as
the most disinterested spectator in the
court room.
Aside from the address of the dis
trict attorney, in which he recited
Waite's life history and gave a com
plete resume of the circumstances lead
ing up to the crime to which Waite al
ready has confessed, the outstanding
feature of the trial today was the
testimony OF DR.. Albertus Adair
Moore. Waite, the witness declared,
admitted TO him that he had purchased
arsenic for his 72-year-old father-in-law
because the old gentleman did not
want TO live
Waites counsel intimated that they
would rely entirely on a plea Of in
sanity to save their client from the
electric chair To combat testimony
that probably will be given tomorrow
by alienists both from this city and
Grand Rapids in support of the prose
cutions' contention that Waite was
sane and his crime actuated by de-
sire for money, the defense announced
tonight that one or more alienists
| would be called by them.
Neither Mrs. Clara Louise Peck
Waite, wife of the prisoner, nor Mrs
Margaret Horton, his companion in q
studio here were present at the tria
today. Both, however, will testify
against Waite, the district attorney an
nounced. Mrs. Waite probably will g
on the witness stand Wednesday morn
ing. Her brother, Percy Peck, will pr,
cede her.

tenced to 10-years' Imprisonment by
court-martial at Dublin last week for
completely in the Irish rebellion, was
originally sentenced to death The
British military authorities commuted
the death sentence to 10 years i'm

quest from the state department at

the state department that he had been
officially advised by the British govern.
ment that Lynch had originally been
sentenced to death. but that the sen
tence had been commuted TO l0-years'
Imprisonment. Confirmation of the
10-years' sentence given Lynch also
was sent by American Consul Adams
at Dublin
ambassador Page said he was Off
cially informed by the home Office at
London that the death sentence had
first been imposed upon Lynch. There
is nothing in the message TO indicate
whether the representations ordered
by President Wilson in Lynch's behalf
had resulted in the communication of
sentence.
ambassador Page also reported that
John j. Kilgallon of Long Island City
n. Y, whose father asked the state
department to intervene in his behalf
is intened in a camp at Stafford
