br. Waite's story here agrees with
that of timiotti who had told
Judge Swami earlier in the day
about the check Incident although he
did not know what Dr. waite did with
The money. When the dentist asked
cimiotti 10 cash the check the garage
man answered that $500 was too hig''
for him to handle,
Well. all ! ask YOU to do IL to act

Dr. Waite got into his car then and
started down town with the money. He
did not know II. but in a machine trail

him stop his car near the cigar store In
West Fifty-ninth street and enter. In a
few minutes the dentist and the en-
balmer came out and separated. leaving
the detectives with nothing except sur

the cigar store.
In the cigar store pr. Waite told
District Attorney Swami. there are two

waite Tells Of the Monster.
pr. Yates first free talk of a talka-
tive afternoon yesterday came shortly
! after Mr.. deuel. had been retained TO
look after the psychological phases or
| the accused dentists case.
II WAS In this first conversation Win
an Investigator, n talk interrupted sud-
denly b, the arrival of Mr.. deuel. at
Dr. Wai,e's cot. that the dentist con-
fcssrd that dwelling within himself was
an abnormal monster. which br. wait"
for years had known and

apartments therefore, the bad man
again was in possession OF br. Wait''s
soul when Mrs. Waite's father. John l..
Peck came to visit the Waitcs.
Promptly the bad man from Egypt
! brushed aside br. Walte's protests and
decided to Kill Mr.. Peck. The bad man
! had not forgotten, however. that murder
hv the germ method was too slow.
Therefore the bad Egyptian decided to
murder Mr.. Peck by putting arsenic ia
his soup, in tea and in eggnog which tho

Finally Ousts h Devil.
The bad man that held full sway over
DIR. Waite's soul when he committed

mality came back to him in so far as
he was able finally to rid himself of

! dentist would for years to force the bad
man to take the count all efforts were
vain until suddenly on Monday night.
after "A mighty struggle AZ h" lay ON his
cot IN the prison ward Of ii"llevue, he
finally chased the bad man from his
soul forever.
Consequently, no matter what his
other personality mas have done imme-
diately before Mr., and Mrs. Peck died.
the dentist Is now himself again and
incapable OF committing homicide.
