That Death May Come to
Him as the Evidence Is
Piling UP.

New York, March 25.-In his cot m
the prison ward at Bellevue hospital
tonight DR.. Arthur Warren White, ly-
ing in cold. terror stricken sweat,
saw a vision-it was the electric chair.
He saw the guard come to his cell in
early dawn, he saw the death marcn,
felt himself with sagging knees and
terror mad brain being forced back in
to the chair. Then the mask over his
face, the cold electrodes on his legs and
on his head. Then the moaning sigh
Of the deadly current
With John z, Peck. aged millionaire
of Grand Rapids, his father in-l Law,
dead from poison which Waite admit
ted he purchased, evidence continually
pfling up revealing him as maintaining
another woman" in the most expen-
sive hotel in New York and his diary
revealing numerous other affairs.
White moaned and begged that death
might come to him.
Hated by His Bride.
AS the handsome young dentist
tossed IN mental torture he did not
know that his bride Of six months had
said in Grand Rapids. Il hate him!a
He did not know that police IN
searching his 100 suits of clothes In
| hi srich apartments had found new
discriminating evidence in the form of
diary mentioning numerous women.
| Neither did he know that the first
other woman mrs. Margaret Horton,
| had been found and that the district
attorneys office believed he meant not
only to harm the members of his own
| family but his studio companion and
her husband.
With CLASSY eyes the erstwhile bon
vivant lay on his back and stared and
stared. Those near him knew his
thoughts, but he did not say word
/ He felt that the former butterfly was
then undergoing worse than death
death which the prosecution now feel
certain of in view of the evidence
which has been piling up.
Designs on Horizons Lives.
From Mrs Margaret Horton, the
other woman, whem he maintained at
the luxurious Plaza hotel and from her
husband, Harry Mack Horton, engi-
neer, District Attorney Dooling late
today learned that Waite may have
had designs on the lives Of the Horizons
and at least two other persons, perhaps
more.
His diary, too, told secrets he
thought forever locked in his bosom.
What may have been the end of his
career had not the suspicious OF *.

be imagined.

unceasing necessity of money and
the easiest way out, whatever that
might be.
1T seemed his disposition said one.
The late statement on the case issued
by the district attorneys office is,
Thought She Was Wealthy.
IF the statements of Mrs. Horton
can be corrohorated It would appear
that Waite had designs on her life and
that OF her husband. Waite, IL seems,
thought she was a wealthy woman.
He represented himself to her as
wealthy man engaged In stock specn-
lation and making himself a croesus.
Not long after they became ac-
uuainted. she says, he began to ques-
ton her about how much money she
had and how much money her husband
had.
Mrs Horton had reason to believe.
according to her statements, that
Waite had planned to persuade her to
take some kind Of medicine. He often
asked her II she did not think she
ought to entrust her money and hus-
bands money to him"
