HEIRESS
SAVED FROM WAITE
District Attorney Learns Parental OBJ
lection Prevented Previous
Marriage.

New ork, May l0.-That DR.. Arthur
Warren Waite, poisoner of his million
aire father in law, John T.. Peck OF Grand
Rapids, married Miss Clara Peck only
because he failed To ensnare richer
heiress was yesterday the belief of the
district attorney.
The theory follows startling revelations
made to the district attorney by the
heiress herself DIR. Waite met her at
Palm Beach in the winter of l9l4l5 and
was in her company great deal.
She knew Dr. Waite wanted TO marry
her and was favorable to him. The
match, however, was prevented by the
girls parents, who found DIR. Waite To
be not gay gallant, with plenty of
money but a poverty stricken fortune
hunter.
That Dr. Waite would have worked
out his poison plans on the parents of
the girl is the belief OF the prosecutor.
Waite married Miss Peck in Septem-
Der, 1915. He is now in the Tombs
awaiting trial on a first degree murder
charge.
The name OF the girl for whom Waite
tried viii not be made public unless she
IS summoned as a witness at the trial.
