ness. The prisoner was weak, too,
from the strain Of his experience, pre-
csding his arraignment. He had been
removed from the observation ward
of Bellevue hospital In an automobile
driven by his brother, Frank Waite.
Before the machine started off, DR..
Waite posed for moment for NOV
ing picture photographers.
The trip to the criminal courts
building was interrupted by q visit
to police headquarters. There DIR
Waite was photographed while his
finger prints and measurements were
taken. He declined to talk.

hundreds of their men were falling,
but notwithstanding their courage
and the weight of their masses, they
were stopped. There was dead line
