this city from Frank Neuner, and W.
L. H. Osborne, who are attending
the officers' training caniji at the
Presidio in San Francisco, they took
the oath of allegiance on May 16,
which was a very impressive affair.'
Their letters to friends here state
that there-was about fifteen hundred
who took the oath at. the same time
they did and the military cere
monies accompanying it formed a
beautiful opening for this famous
camp. These Koseburg boys who
are attending state that they have
been garbed in olive drah uniforms
and are required to have their shoes
Blilned at all times.

viewing the ceremony.
Again tho band struck up a mill

OSSINING, N. Y., May 21. Dr.
Arthur Warren Waite, who was con
victed in New York of poisoning to
death his wealthy father-in-law,
will be executed here next Thurs
day, it is announced. The condemn
ed man now is spending most of nib
time reading and writing letters.
NEW YORK, May 21. Dr. Ar
thur Waite, dentist and tennis play
er of rqputo, was convicted on June
1, 1916, of poisoning his wealthy
father-in-law, John K. Peck, of
Grand Itapids, Mich., at the sv.iftesr
trial of a sensational murder cant in
this county in years. The crime is
best explained In the words of" the
District Attorney, Edward Swaun, .
who told the jury: "The cause ofi
this deed was solely the desire for
inouey. There ware no angry pas-!
sions Involved, no sex relation, no'
envy, hatred or malice; nothing hut!
the purpose ot obtaining easy i.ion-.
oy." !
The .murder was exposed through .
a mysterious telegram sigr.i'd "K.!
Adams"sent to Percy Peck at Grund.
nupids, brother oT Dr. Waite's wife, i
suggesting an autospy and relating
"suspicions aroused demand ayop-;
sy." The authorities took up the1
case and ait autopsy showed Mr. i
Peck died from arsenic poisoning, j
ir. Wnito confessed to the dis-j
trict nttornoy that he hud bought
arsenic three days before the dath!
of his fathor-In-law on March 12, but;
said ho had done so on request of tie .
olderly man who told him he wished :
to commit suic'tdo as he wps de
spondent over the death of his wife,'
who died on Jonuary SO. twenty
days after she had arrived at Dr.
Waito's home here. To bear out
this statement Dr. Waite trie! to
bribo a former negro servant to tes
tify that she knew of Mr. Peck's de
sire to commite suicide. j
As evidence against him began to
accumulate Dr. Waite made an un-'
successful attempt to kill himself by
taking an overdose of drugs. For
8ovei'al days ho lay In a stupor hov
ering between llfo and death. i
It was brought out at the trial
that a few hours after Dr. Waite
married Miss Clara Peck ho com
plained to her about tho money set
tlement made on him. lie had been
promised $50,000 but his wife's fath
er instead of giving him a lump Biira
provided payments of month
ly. Arriving in this city the couple
found awaiting them nn expensively
furnished apartment, a gift of the
murdered man. A girt of 3,uuu
was received from a maiden aunt of
Mrs. Waite, a Miss Peck living nt a
hotel here. Dr. Wuilc urged Miss
Peck to give him more nionoy and
subsequently tho dentist got J30.000
from her which he said he would In
vest. On September 20. 1914, Dr.
Waito Invited his fnther-ln-law to
come from Grand itapids to live with
him here, and a few days after, the
.lenlist began a study of deadly germ
diseases, llo visited a specialist on
bacteriology and bought many books
on the subject. About this time Dr.
Vnlte met Margaret llorton, after
ward known as his "studio compan
ion" and on -January 10 when Mrs.
While's iparents arrived ill this city,
Dr. Waite nnd Mrs. Horlon register
ed at a fashionable hotel as "W. A.
Walters and wife."
Dr. Walto obtained the arsenic on
pivtenso that ho wanted it to "kill
cats" nnd. on tho night his faiher-in-lnw
died, he sent a telegram in
his wife's name to her brother In
Grand Itapids preparing him for his
father's death, llo made too an
nouncement of Mr. Peck's death, un
dertook arrangements for embalm
ing tho body and urged Its crema
tion, appearing particularly anxious
lo have the body cremnted Dr.
WuUo did not attend the funeral afv
cv the body had been shipped to
Grand Itapids lor nuruu. exi-usniK
his presence on pretense of having lo
perform nn operation In New York,
although he was never a surgeon.
The state charged that Dr. aiie
rMTrred 19.000 to the undertaker
who had embalmed the body If he
would nreimre a mixture containing
arsenic nnd declare It had been used
in embalming the body.
Dr. Waile received the sentence of
death with titter unconcern, liefore
he was condemned to death he said
in eourt:
"I only wish I hr,d more than one
body to give nnd I hope that my soul
may Co on nnd serve hereafter those
whom 1 have Injured."
