A Criminal With a Mind.

Do you consider Waite a normal man?" asked Walter R. Deuel, the prisoners counsel
 That question cannot be answered." replied pr. JelIiffe. He is a criminal with a mind. He differs from the average man in terms of psychology because of his whole life being spent in living and feeling"
 'Is Waite's demeanor on the stand that of a sane, normal man?" inquired one of the jurors.
 Not like the normal, average man, but he has a trait that a criminal of that type would show" said Dr. Jelliffe.
 Dr. William Mabon also testified for the prosecution, saying he found no disturbance of Dr. Waite's nervous system. On some occasions when he examined Waite he found the prisoner made an effort to give false answers. This witness conclusion was that, at the time he killed Peck, Waite was sane and knew that he was doing wrong. Waite, he added, is as normal as man of his type can be. He had control of himself and knew what he was doing.
 
 smiled while on the witness stand, Dr. Mabon said the prisoner smiled while he was being examined by the alien ist. 'I considered that he chose that attitude for a purpose" added the alienist. 1T think he had trained him. self for years to be pleasant to every body"
 Knew He Was Doing Wrong. Dr. Menas S. Gregory of Bellevue hospital, called as a witness for the prosecution, said he had examined Waite in that hospital and concluded that he was sane; that he was sane when he killed MT. Peck, and that he knew what he was doing was wrong.
 Cross-examined by MT. Deuel, MT. Gregory said he believed Waite was posing when he assumed indifference while telling his own story of the murders.
 It was then announced that both sides rested.
 MT. Deuel began to sum up for the defense. He said he did not think the jurors would believe that Waite was sane.
 Can a man who lived as he lived and did as he did have any moral sense Whatsoever" asked the attor- ney. 'Is there anything in his lifes story to show he ever had a moral sense and lost it? No'

ALIENISTS TESTIFY HE
 WAS SANE AT THE TIME
NeuroIogist Swears He Knew What He Was Doing and Declares Waite Has Criminal, Though Sound Mind Justice-DeueI Makes Argument For Insanity Verdict.

New York, May 27.-The prosecu- tion in the Waite murder trial today took up the task of contradicting evil dence introduced by the defense to prove that the young dentist was in sane when he committed the crime the jury heard him wildly de- scribe. It was expected that this re- buttal would be brief and that the at torneys summing up and Justice Shearn's charge would be over so that the case might reach the jury by sundown.
 The district attorney called three alienists to court to state their be- lief that pr. Arthur Warren Waite is sane and was shamming when he tried to make it appear that he was mentally responsible for his acts.
 The defense rested at SIS last night after finishing Waite's testi- mony and bringing two physicians to testify to their belief that the prisoner was moral imbecile." Both ad- mitted Waite knew what he was do- ing when he plotted MT. Peck's death but declared he had no moral sense. | Sane Says Neurologist.
 Dr.. Smith Ely Jelliffe, a neurolo- gist, was the first witness today fol the state. He testified that he hac determined from an examination o1 Waite that the prisoner showed nc signs of defective intelligence.
 He appeared as the average man of his early life and environment said Dr. Jelliffe. My belief IS that he was an average man, somewhat superficial, inclined to be snobblsh and of no great intellectual attain ment. In my opinion he was sane 1 l believe he knew the nature of the i c1lno he committed and was fully aware of all phases Of #.

LLANO GRANDE ITEMS
OUT LAST WEEK

Regular army sergeants de-
tached from their companies to
give instruction to National
Guardsmen have arrived at this
camp and been assigned to differ
ent battalions. Each company
gets the service of such an in
structor about once in four days.
In lieu of pay which we have
not received for June and July
tickets have been issued to the
men, good for S1.00 in trade at
the Regimental exchange.
Company L happily received
the first of the week a big bunch
of magazines from an unknown
source at Redwood, and several
records for our Grafanola from
John Mclean. The Company
thus wishes to express its
thanks.
The boys are availing them
selves of all opportunities to see
the country within reaching dis
lance of Llano Grande. Two Sun
days ago several Of the boys
hiked to the Rio Grande. Last
Sunday Bernard Rice and John
Mason spent a few hours be-
tween trains at Brownsville and
yesterday Ernie Gallea, "Swede
Bollum" and Red Morgan took a
trip beyond Brownsville to
Point Isabel, the nearest port
along the gulf of Mexico.
Friday before mail time:
We have a few minutes since
returned from a 1872 mile hike,
over ten miles Of which we
marched in the rain. Men were
soaked, mud spattered from
crown to heel on the return to
camp, but in the finest of spir-
it's. We consider this the best
hike of the four we have taken.
