and Is Taken to Sing
Sing at Once.

NEW YORK, June DIR. Arthur
Warren Waite was today sentenced to

was conducted, and his thanks to the
court, the prosecutors and to his own
attorney DIR. Waite said he was very
sorry for his crimes and for the trouble
and suffering he had caused others. He
declared that he hoped that by sur
rendering his body for punishment he
would compensate in some small degree
for the deaths of his victims.

step firm and as cool apparently as If
there were nothing more serious ahead
of him than one of the tennis games in
which he has so often participated as
an expert player. He addressed the
court with suave politeness and with
out a trace of agitation, although his
voice wavered with an evident touch
of feeling as he spoke of his sorrow
for his crimes.
'I thank the court" he said to JUS
tice Shearn, for the very fair and i'm
partial manner in which it has treated
me I also thank the jurors for the
courteous manner in which they lis
tened to me. 1 feel that their judg-
ment was justified.
"My sincere thanks are due to the
prosecuting attorney, Mr.. Brothers. who
was always nice with me. Mr.. Deuel.,
my counsel, is also entitled to my
thanks. He believed implicitly that 1
was not guilty.
He Asks Forgiveness.
'1 ask for forgiveness I am very,
very glad to give my body in expia-
ton of the things I have done, and
give my soul freely to rectify my mis-
deeds. I hope it will go on and on
forever and ever to purge itself"
Waite was taken back to the Tombs
prison, where preparations were made

Rule Held Unreasonable.

The lower court sustained both con-
tentions of Attorney Paul E. Lesh for
the teacher, that the rule of the board
was not only in conflict with the or
ganic school act. but was also unrea-
sonabIe. The appellate court declares
that, having found the rule incon-
sistent with the provision of law that
all removals must be by the board on
written recommendation of the su-
perintendent of schools. it is unneces-
sary to pass on the question of the rea-
sonableness or unreasonableness of
the boards rule.
After quoting the relevant portions
of the act of June 90. 1906, called the
organic school law, the appellate court
says: These provisions show clear
intent to continue the teaching force
Of the public schools by an indefinite
tenure. SO long the work Of the
teacher is satisfactory, giving annual
longevity increases without action of
the board of education. and until the

recommendation of the superintendent
of schools in accordance with section 2
