of his wife's father and mother.
DR.. Waite has been prepared for
his end for months. declaring his
readiness to expiate his sin by death,
in the belief that he could enter "a

The murder Of Yates father-in-

Mich, and his mother-in-law, by poi
son and by the use of germs. came
to light in the spring of last year.
Mrs. Peck died Jan. 20. 1916 Her
husbands life ended March IL, 1916.
Waite admitted he planned to kill
his wife also.
DR.. Waite slept late and awoke
cheerful to face his last day in the
death-house and prepare for his
walk down the eurtained corridor
to the death chair at II O'Clock to-
night, there to pay the extreme pen
atty for poisoning his father-in-laN

That the German censorship has

may be significant.
Every indication to date has been
that Germanys strongest effort TO
