Whitaker IntsrvieWed-He Makes
No Confession, and Not . Very
Good Explanation.

WET PoNr, May 17.-In an inter
view yesterday Whitaker stated that
Saturday evening hs was invited to
Gen. SchoAsld's house, when the latter
said there was some hard feeling against
him, and asked him II he had nothing
moro to say or wished to make any
confession. and II hs did that Il would
bs . good time 70 do Il. Whitaker
replied tina. he had nothing further 70
say. Hs said hs wished to make no
confession Whatsoever; that he had told
all he knew and Il was the truth, and II
no had not told the truth and desired to
confess anything, Gen. sohohsld would
be the frst man be would 60 TO. on
account Of the Generals uniform kind.
ness toward him. Whitaker said the
General advised him 10 collect the Letters
hs had written lately, because In that
way II might be possible TO ascertain
Who Il was that had simulated his
handwriting. he said the General told
him that he had his best wishes, and
Whitaker judges from that remark that
the General believes he Is innocent, or
he never would have said It. Whitaker
was asked how hs accounted for some OF
the discrepancies In his statements, and
he said hs could not account for them.
He argued that the presence OF discrep.
ancies showed that he was honest, for,
said he: "If ! had invented the story,
I would have learned It by heart, and
there would have been no discrepsn-
cies." He was asked how Il wa that he
never noticed that the writing In the note
OF warning wal like his own. he said
he had never thought Of II, and II be bad
written II be would not have exhibited
Il to four or Ave persons. He was asked
what be thought OF the experts discov-
cry, that both Of the sheets were Of q
paper. He said that did not amount TO
anything, because al the cadets use the
same kind Of paper, and that he wanted
to say that he found the note OF warning
on his chair by the side Of his table In
the evening. He was in the habit OF
tearing whole sheets into halves TO write
on, and the person who wrote the note
might have como to his room and taken
O piece OF his paper. and with the many
samples Of his handwriting before him,
might have forged the note.
General Sohoaeld ssys, that a. the
report Of the court is to DO presented to
him. he does not want to say anything
ON the subject. Any reports OF Tears OF
disorderly action by the cadets against
Whitaker are premature, a. II In the
understanding among them to allow the
court to take care Of the whole case.
Professor Grsener still claims that
Whitaker 10 innocent, and says hs has
some important points which he intends
to make known over his own signature,
but not to the court.
