The Whitaker Case.
WEST POINT, April 10th.-In the Whitta-
ker investigation, Cadet George r. Burnett
testified that he was officer of the day. and
was the first one who entered Whittaker's
room. He described the condition in which
he found Whitaker weltering in blood,
bound and bruised. Whitaker, upon being
shaken, said, twice, please don't cut me. "
1t seems, from witness illustrations, that
Whitaker was so securely tied that he could
hardly have bound himself, although witness,
after being tied as Whitaker was, did unite
himself in Court. Whitaker testified that
he had no conversation with his assailants,
except to beg them not to cut his ear. His
condition was carefully considered bv the
surgeon. Whitaker stated that an oath was
binding on his conscience, and he firmly be-
heved false oath involved future punish
ment. At the request of the Recorder he
then took an oath, looking squarelY in the
face OF the Recorder, that all he said was true.
The kelIOgg-spOnOrd Case.
WASHINGTON, April 10th.-The Demo-
cratic Senatorial caucus lasted four hours,
and .he discussion on the Kellogg-Spofford
case was animated Bayard, Lamar, Herman,
Garland and others opposed its consideration
Salisbury, Hill, Vance and Jones favored it.
The argument was advanced that some
Democrats would oppose seating Spofford and
unseating Kellogg. Hill said, nevertheless,
the committee should do its duty. The effect
of settlement of the question on the Presi-
Dental election ought not to figure in the
case. A resolution was adopted by majority
of three providing that the Geneva Award
bill shall first be considered and disposed of,
to be followed by the Kellogg case, unless the
caucus decides otherwise. 1t is understood
the case is not settled until another caucus is
held.
