TELLS Of
VAST D
CAREER

Still calm and placid, DIR.
Arthur Warren Waite left
the stand at noon today after
giving the most remarkable
testimony ever heard in the
criminal court here.
He denied he attempted to kill
his wife, but admitted consider
ing 1t.
When asked flatly, Are you
crazy?" he replied that he
thought not.
Tells Sordid Story.
He admitted saying he was
ready to pay the death penalty,
and denied conspiring to get up
an insanity defense.
Before that he had told a wier-
eddy sordid story of how he tried
poisonous gas, arsenic. ground
glass and other methods in his
attempt to kill his wealthy father
in-law, John f. Peck, in order TO
get his money.
He related how he had fed the
peck family millions of deadly
disease germs.
What was your purpose in add
ministering germs to all those
| people," he was asked.

| "Why?"
Simply Wanted Money.

| his calm statement.
BY Waites own testimony, the
| defense intends to prove that the
| confessed poisoner of his wife S
parents was insane at the time of
the crime.
Relating his life history. the
prisoner admitted long series of
thefts from the time he was a
boy, through the university, and
up to the time he pilfered SO
from the purse Of the mother of
the girl he married.
Throughout the story, mis-
young wife sat near him with
head bowed. Waite seemed calm
on the witness stand. He smiled
a resigned sort of smile almost
constantly.
One Theft After Another.
When a child, he said, he was
cruel to animals, shirked his
home work, stole from every one
for whom he worked, stole exam
ination papers at school and rob-
bed his fraternity brothers at the
University of Michigan.
my total thefts during fresh
man year at college amounted to
about $500" he said.
After graduation, while travel
ing for dental supply house, he
said he stole $1,000 from his en-
ployers.
Recounting his wooing of Miss
Peck, he hung his head as he
admitted the theft of a $40 bill
