garet Weaver Horton, the young wo- man with whom Dr. Arthur Warren Waite, confessed poisoner of his wifes parents studied languages and music and shared studio in fashionable New York hotel, described late today at Waite's trial for murder, what she considered the dual character of the prisoner. This alleged Jeykell-Hyd nature of Waite, the evil side of which he has asserted manifested itself in the form of little man from Egypt" gave the first inkling of the theory upon which Waites lawyers will pro- ceed in their efforts to prove he was insane at the time he killed John E. Peck and thereby save him from tho electric chair.
 Mrs. Horton, who cast sorrowing glances at Waite as he sat pale and outwardly ill at ease, not more than twenty feet from her followed Mrs. Clara Louise Peck Waite, wife of the prisoner. on the stand. Mrs. Horton told her story slowly, directly, and gave the impression that she cared little for the ordeal to which she her self was subjected. It appeared to those who watched her closely that she was trying to convey to the prisoner something of the sympathy she felt for him.
 Although called as witness for the state, Mrs. Horton seemed to be much relieved when Walter R. Deuel coun- sel for Waite, began to cross- examine her. Waite had sat almost notion less throughout the long direct ex- animation by the assistant district at torney. Waite dropped his hanc from his chin and raised his eyes to- ward the witness. The wife of the prisoner dressed in deep mourning and sobbing quietly at intervals sat di- rectly behind the jury box.
 Not a line of testimony had been brought out by the prosecution touch ing upon Waite's mental condition when the state rested after Mrs. Hor- ton had finished her story. Several alienists were in the court room how ever waiting to be called in rebuttal.
 The defense, it is expected will oper l tomorrow in a vigorous attempt tC prove that Waite was insane when he committed his crime.
 Mrs. Horton, with a trace of sadness in her voice, first told how she haC met Waite last January when she wa. singing in a New York theater. Ht was gentlemanly and kind to her sh. said, and they struck up fast friend ship. Waite was interested in he voice, and later inquired the name 0 her vocal instructor.
 He said he would like to take voca lessons himself" she added, and
 introduced him to my teacher"
 Mrs. Horton then told how she an, Waite had studied modern language and music together for which Wait insisted on paying" and finally of tn rental of the studio.
 MT. Brothers did not appear to b concerned about Mrs. Horton's ex plantation as to her relation wit
 Waite, further than to establish tn fact that they studied together and en gagged the studio" under the name c MT. and Mrs. Walters"
