KEmBLE ALLOWED TO GIVE NEW BAIL.


HARRISBURG, April 13.-This forenoon, ex-
State Treasurer Kemble, in custody of the
deputy sheriff, and accompanied by his cOun-
sci, went to Dauphin county jail where Judge
Pearson soon came, closely followed by the dis
trict attorney. Kemble's counsel produced
kilograms from him to prove he was voluntarily
on his way to Harrisburg when the detective
detained him. Kemble said he sent the tele-
gram to M. s. Quay, Friday, telling him he
would be in Harrisburg Monday, to enter new
bail. He also wrote his lawyers to the same
effect. He said the newspapaper reports as to
his intended flight were all false and without
color of authority. He could prove by tele-
grams sent he was on his way
voluntarily. He knew nothing
of the visit or surrender of Petroff, Salter,
Rumberger and Crawford. His business and
the precarious condition of his wife's health
prevented his getting here sooner. He never
acted secretly, nor with desire to conceal his
identity. He would be here the 26th inst. to
accept sentence. Witnesses were called to prove
Kemble's intention to appear voluntarily in
Harrisburg. and after some objection by the
district attorney, Judge Pearson admitted
Kemble to bail in $4,000, J. @. hamburger, of
this city, becoming bondsman. The judge said
if he had any doubt as to Kemble's voluntary
appearance he would not accept bail. He had
none, however, and wanted them all in court
on the 26th.
wMTTAKER's WAKE.
WEST POINT, April 13.-Before the court of
inquiry convened to-day, all members of the
court inspected Whittakers room and contents.
The first witness was Major Alexander Piper.
He gave his testimony nervously and
generally corroborated the testimony of
the cadets. He picked up pieces
of burnt paper from the floor
which appeared to be portions of the lists on
which reliefs were kept by the marshals. One
struck him as being a page from the bible.
Witness asked Whitaker about his sssailants,
saying, Don't you know the voices of all the
cadets?" He replied: "No, sir. Some of the
cadets don't even know by name" At first
witness was impressed. without minute ex-
animation, that the outrage was committed by
other persons than cadets.
Superintendent Gaylor, of the New York
postofice, testified to the writing in additional
six pieces of paper handed him yesterday. He
was positive none of them were written by the
person who wrote the note of warning to Cadet
Whitaker. The note is not in a woman's
hand. Portions of the words are written in
natural hand, the rest disguised. This was
another point in favor of Whitaker.
Charles T. Alexander, post surgeon and who
was called to attend Whitaker, told the story
of what he saw of him and what he said. He
said he could not ascribe Whittaker's condi-
tion, If his story was true, to any other cause
but fear, and said Whitaker told him two
stories about the broken looking glass.
This afternoon each of the 800 cadets were
given a sentence to write in which, unbeknown
to them, were the words which appear in the
note of warning to Whitaker. These sentences
were given to Supt. Gaylor, who took them to
New York, and will report in day or two
whether any Of the writing corresponds with
the writing in the note of warning.
