able criminal tendencies. and then ask
ed if, in his opinion. Waite was of
unsound mind; and, if so. from what
mental diseases was he suffering.
"He was suffering from moral idiocy,
moral imbecility and moral insanity"
replied DIR. Karpas. He added that
these were recognized as mental dis
eases.
Did Waite know what he was do
ing?" asked Mr.. Deuel..
He did not" replied DR.. Karpas.
Did he know he was doing wrong?"
HE did not"
Waite listened with appearance of in
difference when DIR. Karpas quoted him
as admitting he intended to kill his
wife, Mrs Clara Peck Waite, and her
parents from the time of his engage
ment in order to obtain their money.
Warren Waite, of Grand Rapids, the
elderly father of the murderer. listen
ed with tears rolling down his cheeks
to the long recital of his sons crimes
told to save the dentist from the cleo
tric chair, on the assumption that none
but an insane man would commit such
wanton series of wrong.
Always Been Coward
DIR. Karpas testified that in addition
to Waite's admission that he was a
| thief, cheat and murderer, without love
for any one, that he always had been
coward. Waite cared nothing about
| sex, he told DR.. Karpas, expressing an
noyance at the newspaper interpreta-
| tion of his studio companionshtp with
Mrs. Margaret Weaver Horton. Waite
felt no emotion excepting that at sight
of Mrs. Horizons picture be always
cried
Mrs. Horton Flower
Waite said he loved nature" con-
tinued DR.. Karpas, "and that Mrs. Hor-
ton was like a flower. which must be
watered, so he had poured his affec-
tions upon her"
Waite was an egomaniac, he lacked
all moral sense. he was selfish and
would do anything he thought would
benefit him. DIR. Karpas asserted.
The speed with which the trial has
proceeded makes it probable that the
case will go to the jury tonight a
remarkable record for a murder trial
of such Importance. II this is not
done the case will be in the jury's
hands by Monday afternoon at the
latest
Dr.. Karpas was preceded on the wit
ness stand by DIR. Menas $. Gregory,
head of the psycolpathic ward of Belle
vue Hospital, who was called by the
defense to testify to having received
Waite in the psycopathic ward while
he was suffering from the effects of
the drugs he took just before his ar
rest. DIR. Gregory is a prosecutions eX-
pert.
In addition to the alienists. Miss
! Catharine A. Peck, aunt of Mrs. Waite,
and Abraham Bassford, Jr, testified.
In the cross examination to-day
| Waite told nothing which equalled his
sensational direct testimony in which
/ he admitted two murders and an at
tempted murder Waite, on cross-ex-
animation, declared he tried to kill
himself, denied that he was feigning
/ insanity or that he was insane, and
said he could not remember If he ever

The Southern Pacific railway once
held title as gift from the United
States, but the railroad failed to meet
the terms of the gift, namely. that the
land should be sold at $3.50 an acre to
actral settlers, and the federal court
declared the lands forfeited.
The supreme court, upholding the
lower courts in part, left il TO con
gress TO determine just wnst should be
done with the land. The house public
lands committee after hearing evidence
and arguments from all sorts of inter.
ested parties, including the railroad, the
government and representatives of set.
tiers. is now working on a bill to meet
the situation.
The committee has aabont decided not
to sell the valuable timber land in
eluded in the tract at $3.50 an acre. but
to sell il separately to the highest bid.
der. Secretary of the Interior Lane is
expected to nave actual charge of the
work and TO decide the time Of the
sale.
The basis for any legislation by the
committee will be the bill Introduced by
Representative Ferris. This bill, ex-
cept for amendments by the attorney
general, is like the one introduced by
senitor chamberlain. In ACCEPTING the
Ferris bill as a keynote, the committee
decided its power TO reinvest title to
