OCCASIONALLY SAW WAITE TYPE
AT MANHATTAN HOSPITAL
AS superintendent of the Manhattan
State Hospital. DR.. Mabon said he oc-
~cas!onally saw such types as Waite
adding:
w kept them under observation for
a time, and always returned them to
the charities department or TO their
relatives. Waite is as normal as a
man OF his type can be. He had con-
troll OF himself and knew what he was
doing
Asked if he noticed that Waite
smiled while on the witness stand, DIR.
he was being examined by the alienis,.
Il considered that he chose that at.
t!tude for a purpose" added the
al!en!st. II think he had trained him
self for years to be pleasan to every
fbody."
You think that he had so trained
himself that he was able to tell a story
Of the crime or the stand with the same
name! that he would have told Of thu
simple life:" asked Mr.. Deuel..
4 DO" said Dr.. Mabon.
Dr.. Waite paid more attention to the
Nest!!IoH! or tAe a!!eniStS for the OroSe-
cutioH than he had given 70 any other
witnesses. He looked steadily az his
wife for a few moments when he was
pronounced sane by DR.. Jellife. The
prisoner smiled broadly and shrugged
his shoulders when DR.. Mabon testified
that he believed Waite was acting.
DR.. Nenas s. Gregory. of Bellevue
Hospital, a witness for the prosecution,
said he had examined Waite in tina,
| hospital and concluded that he was
sane.
Was he sane when he killed NJ.
Peck? asked the prosecutor.
I believe he was said Dr.. Gregory.
In face OF Yates statement tina,
he planned to kill TO obtain a large
estate. did he know that what he was
doing was wrong"
He did. At first he posed and acted
e~mo,ionally. subsequently he became
decidedly different. He did not pose
and repeatedly said. oh! I don't know
Why l did it Again he added, Don't
you know that l could be a very useful
citizen II l should escape from the con-
sequences of this act?"
Cross-examined by Mr.. Deuel.. DR..
Gregory said he believed Waite was
posing when he assumed indifference
while telling his story of the murders.
DR.. Waite is what we call a habitual
criminal" said Dr.. Gregory. in a
moral sense, he is not a born criminal.
His career shows ne was capable of
exercising moral sense when he wanted
