 Yes"
 'Why, didn't you kill yourself"
 T made a pretty good attempt at it. replied Waite. You planned Peck's death to win $2,000,000, didn't your" No, not that much.''
 The prisoner denied that he had schemed to kill John E. Peck as early as last February
 Questions by the prosecution were framed with the evident intent to show that the crimes to which tho prisoner had confessed were of nature that did not call for personal daring.
 Waite denied that his evidence yes terday was devised with the purpose of developing a defense of insanity
 Questions by Justice Shearn.
 Justice Shearn, before whom Waite is being tried then took up the ques- tioning, and asked him if he knew it was wrong to steal. Waite said he did.
 Then I assume you knew, if it
 
 to commit murder?"
 q don't remember
 And you were a member of Christian Endeavor society? You learned it was wrong to take human life and against the laws of God ?" "I don't remember" Mr. Deuel then resumed redirect examination. Waite said his memory was not perfect, he supposed, be- cause of drugs. The prisoner iden- t1fied several letters he wrote in l Bellevue hospital and a poem, saying he had written poetry for several years He said that when he wrote the poem he suspected that he was charged with murder. Ground Glass in Marmalade. Waite having been permitted to leave the witness stand, Miss Gather inc Peck, sister of the late John IL. Peck was next called. Mr. Deuel said he wanted to cor roborate by Miss Peck's testimony the statements, made by Dr. Waite that he placed ground glass in her marmalade and germ cultures in fish that she was to eat. l Miss Peck said she accepted Waite as what he appeared to be, and told of giving her business matters to him to look after. Miss Peck smiled as she recalled her narrow escape from death.
 T ate some of the marmalade, :" she said, When I opened the jar again I found it full of something like sand. I took it back to the, store and the proprietor apologized.' ..
 After answering other questions in corroboration of Waites testimony Miss Peck was excused.
 Alienist for Defense.
 pr. Menas $. Gregory, head of the psychopathic ward, at Bellevue hos , pital was called a sthe first alienst to testify for the defense. He said that while Waite was in Bellevue he asked the physician to intercede for him with the district attorney and also inquired:
 If 1 should escape the conse- quences of this act do you think I would make a useful citizen?'' ! Dr. Gregory said he told the pri- soner that he knew that he was doing wrong: The physician declined to intercede.
 Dr. Morris J. Karpas, formerly of Bellevue hospital, also was called as an alienist for the defense. He said he examined Dr. Waite in the hos pital, that he did not appear to be mentally well. and that 7ta was ab- normal in that his entire interest was centered upon himself Waite told -he,' testified Dr. Kar- pas, "that he intended to kill his wife.

yesterday. Thousands came to partici
pate in the bargains and it seems I'M
deniably true that the stores did more
business than at any other time in the
year,-perhaps for many years. Profit
making was forgotten for the sake of
making store friends. quick clearance
of stocks. and turning surplus stocks
into quick cash assets.
Everyone who came seemed happy
and in spite Of some delays in waiting
on trade due to the rush of business It
was a crowd we'll content with slight

than atoned. Today the event will be
repeated and, if fair. there should be
another record breaking crowd on
