SIR EDWARD CARSON
BACK IN PARLIAMENT

London, March IS, 1921 a. m.)-The
morning newspapers give prominence
to the announcement that Sir Edward
Carson is restored to health and that
he will mark his return to parliament
by presiding today over the conserva-
tive party's war committee
The Morning Post believes that Sir
Edward intends to form and to lead an
opposition to the coalition government.
The newspaper wishes him success in
the venture and says:
Nobody can say the country is sat
isfed with the way it is now governed.
The coalition still has an obedient par
lament and the whole power of the
nation at its back but it is so weak
that it exists only because no aIterna-
tive has yet been organized. The ma
ton is conscious of certain lack of
leadership"

MORE EVIDENCE
AGAINST WAITE
Law Tightening Grip Upon Doctor
Held for Murder of Millionaire
Father-in.Law.

New York, March 2S.-Findings by
the grand jury investigating the case
of DR.. Arthur Warren Waite have been
delayed by the continuous discovery
day after day of new evidence 1t may
be the end of the week or even later,
the district attorney said today, before
the jury reaches decision. The pros
ecutor has declared that he is salts
fed with all the evidence connecting
Waite with the alleged murder of his
millionaire father-in-law, John E.
Peck of Grand Rapids. Efforts are be-
ing made now to prove that the young
dentist planned and perhaps executed
a more extensive criminal campaign.
Reports that DR.. Waite has made a
further confession" to his brother.
Frank Waite, are confirmed by the
brother but the latter says that any
announcement regarding further reve-
lations made by the accused man must
come from the district attorney. Such
an announcement is expected either
this afternoon or tonight if the district
attorney carries out his announced in
tention of sending an assistant to DR..
Waite at Bellevue hospital to obtain a
further statement.
Assistant District Attorney Francis
Mancusco, who went to Grand Rapids
to investigate the case, is authority for
the statement that the state will re-
fuse to take a plea of insanity.
If Waite is brought to trial it is evi.
dent that the state will depend largely
upon the testimony of chemical and
meteorological experts. Detectives to-
day sought to find what if any use the
accused man made of disease germs
which they say be purchased prior to
the death of John E. Peck. Mr.. Peck s
vital organs will be subjected to fur
Their ANALYSIS and it is possible that an
attempt viii be made, to find traces of
poison through a chemical analysis of
the ashes of Mrs. Peck, DR.. Waite's
mother-in-law, whose body was Gre
mated after her death, which preced-
ed that of her husband by about six
weeks.
