SLAYER Will Be Taken to
Sing Sing Thursday
Counsel Announces.
VERDICT OF GUILTY
SATISFIED WIFE
"Just What | Came to Hear" She
Declares, In First Statement
Since Jury Returned.

DR.. Arthur Warren Waite, convicted
slayer Of his father-in-law, John Z.
Peck, spent yesterday in the Tombs
reading the Bible and writing.
He arose at $3.50 o'clock and after a
hearty breakfast was permitted to ex-
ercise half an hour in the cell tier.
Although a third guard has been placed
outside his cell to prevent any attempt
at suicide, he seems perfectly con-
tented and continues to repeat his de-
sire to go TO the chair quickly.
81 am happy" is the statement he
sent from his cell yesterday afternoon
by his attorney, Walter R. Deuel., who
announced that he might give a longer
statement to-day. He refused to see
newspaper men, but said he would re-
ceive visits from his brother Frank
and his attorney. Since his arrest he
has written several poems, which are
now in the possession Of his brother
Meat Is Cut Fine.
To avoid any opportunity for him 70
do away with himself, his food Is cut
very fine before 1t is given him, and ne
ia permitted to use nothing but spoon
in eating it. The inconvenience annoys
him and he insists that he has no idea
of cheating the state out OF their right
to his life.
Warren Waite and Clyde Waite, his
father and brother, returned to Grand
Rapid: Sunday afternoon, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Percy Peck, who went to Somer-
vile. n. J., after the verdict was re-
turned, will go TO Michigan to-day. :,
Joseph II. Crater, Of the condemned
mans counsel, announced yesterday
that DESPITE Yates insistence that ne
no executed without delay, an appeal
would be entered within the next few
weeks.
"Waite will be taken to Sing Sing on
Thursday" he said, "but we have thirty
days for an appeal. The matter OF the
anneal will probably be decided in DC
tober. We are going to contend that
Waite's mind was a moral vacuity, and
that the fact that he keeps insisting
he's sane doesn't alter the situation
Mrs. Clara Louise Waite, VINO last
night made her first statement since
the Jury found her husband guilty, also
touched on this point.

is in any way abnormal. it is IN the
same way that an actor or an artist Is.
They differ from other people IN tnat
they are particularly well htted lot the
work they pursue, and that they spec
ialize in it. He specialized In GRIM
inality."
Came to Hear Such Verdict.
81 am perfectly satisfied with the
verdict" she continued. at is what l
came from Grand Rapids to hear.

CAPT. E. z. STEEVER HERE
TO TAKE UP HIS DUTIES
Has Been Assigned by War Depart
ment to Aid Work of High
School Cadets.

Capt E. Z. Steever. L. s. A, who has
been assigned by the War Department
to work with the High School Cadets of
the District of Columbia, arrived here
yesterday from the Mexican border.
where he has been stationed for several
months. A number of plans in view by
officials of the Washington public
schools have been held in allegiance IN
til his return.
Capt. Steever, whose work with high
school cadets in Wyoming caused ia
vorable comment among army officers,
and considered by many of them as lit
tie short of marvellous, and who last
year did what was considered excellent
work with the Washington organiZa-
ton. has few plans for his work here
which he is considering. Work Of carry
ing out the plans will be started as
early as possible.
work here this year Will be even more
effective than it was last year. mas
much as he will be able to use the
major portion of his time in the inter-
ests of the cadets. His work last sea-
son was wholly voluntary and the time
he used was only that which he could
spare when he was not employed with
other duties.
Capt Steever today expressed pleas
ure that he had been assigned to
Washington, which is his home city. He
was formerly a member of the High
School Cadets himself. so that he is
familiar with the movement, although
II is now much larger than ii was when
he belonged to one of the companies.

Jackson was robbed of s32. while Nc
Guigan's stolen purse contained s22 and
two automobile licenses.
Maj. Pullman's detectives and police
men on duty in the crowd failed to ap-
prehend the crooks, and a notice

ing against repetition of the thefts.
One of the men recalled having been
jostled by a large man about the time
he was robbed
old. 1873 9Th street, told the police that
last night. He was on S street between

deavor? No! One campaign S
enough to spoil patriot forever,

he'll never quit his running, al
though he meets a nasty thud
whenever he goes cunning. To
save the dear old spangled flag,
and serve the darling people, all
through his years he'll chew the
rag, on forum, stump and steeple.

ears to piffle have been treated
NOW for the winners we have
