To-day he made his first statement | since the order issued by the district attorney for his arrest and denied the charge. He made the denial to As sistant District Attorney George F. Brothers who examined him at his apartment on Riverside Drive where he lay in bed recovering from the' effects of a strong drug which he took yesterday. Dr. Waite admitted, according to Mr. Brothers that he had put some thing into Peck's soup some time prior to his death, but declared that it was medicine and that Dr. A. A. Moore, the physician who attended Peck dur ing his Illness, had instructed him to employ this method of giving the pa tient medicine because Peck had com- 1 C\xt Flower Specials Donatello Ferneries evercj A new Idea in pottery—ar tistically done in green and brown.

Mr. Brothers announced that Waite would be removed to Bellevue Hos- I pitai, a prisoner, later in the day. His condition was not yet such as to per- 1 mit his removal to the Tombs prison where it was originally planned to in carcerate him to-day. Meanwhile it was announced at the district attorney's office that the name of a druggist who sold arsenic to Haite had been learned and that the druggist would soon apj ;ar before the grand jury which to-day con , tinued its consideration of the case. Investigation of the deaths of John E. Peck and his wife in Dr. Waite's Riverside Drive home, under circum stances which led the authorities to believe they were the victims of poison I continued to-day. The grand jury' ; heard further evidence as rapidly as it was made available by a big squad i of detectives. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Waite, father and mother of the man j who is accused of administering! ! poison to Mr. Peck are expected to I i arrive here to-day. It is possible they will be examined belore the grand! jury to-morrow. The district attorney] wishes to obtain from Dr. Waite a ; statement giving his version of the | circumstances of Mr. Peck's death. Since Wednesday Dr. Waite had been under the influence of drugs taken, he | said, to induce sleep and.no coherent statement could be obtained from him. Meanwhile the discovery of arsenic in the body of Mr. Peck led to the order for the dentist's arrest and the stationing of detectives in his apart ment. Among the exhibits upon which the I authorities are working are medical i i books taken from Dr. Waite's library containing marked passages describing the effect of poison such as that al-' ! leged to have caused the death of Mr. j Peck. ! The Peck mystery is regarded by the authorities as one of the most ex traordinary cases they have had to deal with in years. Mrs. Anna Peck died in Dr. Waite's apartment at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, January 30. The body was cremated at Detroit. John E. Peck died In Dr. Waite's rooms Sunday morning, March 12 and his body was embalmed and started ' for Grand Rapids that day. One of the undertakers who pre pared Mrs. Peck's body for shipment ito Detroit, recalled to-day that they | were compelled to make great haste to place the body on board the train leaving here on the afternoon of the day of her death. One of them said I the body was still limp five hours after j embalming, Indicating to him that there was something present strong enough to counteract the effects of the embalming fluids. The identity of the woman who, ac t cording to Dr. Waite's admission to the district attorney, was registered with him at a hotel as Dr. and Mrs. W. Walters, has not been disclosed by the authorities. They intimate, however, that it is not likely she i knew of the alleged murder. It is • stated that after Dr. Waite returned ; from Grand Rapids after taking Mr. Peck's body to that city he directed the woman to leave the hotel and she has not been seen there since. Dr. Waite's prominence as a sports man and tennis player, has increased the interest in the case here. He won the Metropolitan Indoor championship here early in the season and figured in the national indoor championship when he was defeated by R. Bindley I Murray, who won the title. Will Protect Woman Dr. Waite's condition had so im proved during the forenoon that Dis ! trict Attorney Swann gave orders that !he should be brought to the Tombs court for arraignment later in the i day. Detectives on guard at his apart i ments were instructed not to relax j their watch for a minute. Having recovered to-day from his | state of coma Dr. Waite told his : guards, according to reports they made to the district attorney, that he would i keen his lips sealed as to the identity ; of the woman with whom he lived at ! a hotel as Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Walters. I "And I will stick to her," he was i quoted as saying. "I will not give i her up." | The grand Jury meanwhile resumed ; consideration of the case with Dr. A. A. Moore, the physician who has been attending Waite under summons to appear as a witness. V. W.

General Bell, commanding 'he | United States troops here, received this , report in silence. Ills only comment , was that he would wait until he heard ! directly from General Pershing, who l» j leading the punitive expedition, or General Funs-toil before making any stntement on the situation.

Silver Money Solves The American crew of a train which j arrived at Juarez early to-day from I Casas Grandes reported that all was j unlet at the latter town when they left there. They said that there were many I soldiers in town from a camp near by | and that the natives seemed pleased at their presence, as they spent more real silver money than had been seen 111 ! | Cmm Grandes for many months. In the absence of information re -1 garding the pursuit of Villa the main I I Interest along the border was centered ! In the Interactional crisis In Mexico. I ! The reports respecting the desertion J of General Carranza by General lat is i Uerrera were so conflicting that any ! I attempt to decide between them was j I hopeless. The weightiest evidence in ; behalf of Herrera'a revolt being true j was supplied by General Bell, who said ! that his confirmation to that effect i came from sources that he was satis ! tied was correct. Many persons here | made up their minds a week ago that a widespread revolt in the Carranza | army was merely a question of a brief time and every item supporting that I belief is accepted by them as true without further information. Herrera j is known here as a bitter antl-Ameri- | can and he is also understood to ctherish deep resentment against Car- j l-anza for depriving him of his post as j chief at arms a short while ago. Objected to The reason given for Herrera's de sertion of the. Carranza cause is ac cepted as further proof of the truth of j the report. It Is pointed out that at the time of the American occupation | of Vera Cruz, Herrera, who was then allied with both Villa and Carranza, protested against the landing of the United States forces. In a speech made ! at Parral at that time he called on the ; Mexicans to arise and drive the bated "gringoes" from the land and threat- | ened to break with Villa and lead an j 1 independent movement if they did not j unite in bis denunciation. Accepting it as a fact that Herrera has revolted, speculation here turned on the probable result, on other Car- | ranza leaders. Interest centered on Sonora. where, it is believed here, if another defection is to occur, It will j take place. For some time the move- I ments and speeches of General Calles. j military governor of Sonora, have been j I the subject of special attention on the < border. Reports that he has massed ! I troops along thfc border have aroused apprehension owing to the known fact I that large numbers of his officers and , 1 men were former adherents of Villa, j U. S. Consul at Chihuahua Denies That Gen. Herrera Went Over to Bandit Force Washington, D. C„ March 24.—! I American Consul Letcher at Chi-1 huahua to-day reported there was no j j truth in the reported revolt of Gen- ! I eral Herrera and the Carranza garri ! son at Chihuahua. Although General Funston and Gen- I eral Bell on the border have received ■ reports confirming the story of the re-! | volt, which they believe to be true, the . I dispatch from Consul Letcher, who is on the ground and has headquarters at the place where the revolt was said j to have occurred, is taken by officials here as confirming the statements of Carranza officials that no such revolt j has occurred. Consul Letchers' dispatch reported j that General Herrera was in command of the de facto troops there and was I "loyal to General Carranza." Hi's report is regarded as removing , one of the most menacing features of | the Mexican situation. .

Returning Scout Asserts Men and Animals Bear Up Well Under Big Hardships By Associated Press ! Columbus. N. M„ March 24.—The j American campaign to capture Fran cisco Villa has reached the. point in the foothills of Chihuahua where it has been found necessary to dispense j with heavy motor trucks as transport facilities and to depend entirely upon the army pack mule, it was learned i here to-day. It is known that the 1 trucks have encountered many diffi culties in the sandy region through , which the troops have passed. Motor;' trains probably will be used, however, I j for transport purposes between Colum bus and the advanced base at Cusas Grandes. The American advance into Chi-' liuahua is proving a hard, gruelling! march, in which both animals and men nre enduring great hardships, accord-I Ing to reports brought here to-day by ! J. C. Marlowe, of Douglas. Marlowe, who is the first of the civilians who started eight days ago with the ex peditionary force to reach the border, asserted that the army is more and more realizing its utter dependency on the knowledge of the country shown by the civilian scouts. Arriving on a motor t ruck train i after a thirty-hour ride over a rough, [ dust-filled road from near Cases i Grandes, Marlowe was a vivid example of the physical difficulties of the march. His face was gaunt, burned and blistered by the glare of the desert! sun. A week's growth of beard was caked with alkali dust, his clothing marked by many encounters with! cactus. 4 Lieutenant J. L. Parkingson, of Salt j Lake City, Utah, who was in charge j of the trucks on which Marlowe ar- j rived, said that all of the American J trucks and drivers have been ac- J counted for and that American troops j have not come in contact with any! Mexican forces since crossing the! border. ■Re|w>rt Denied fly Associated Press Douglas, Arizona, March 24.—Gen eral Pelias Calles, military governor l of Sonora, to-day denied reports that a large number of Mexican troops have reached Auga Prieta opposite i b«re from the south.
