The Whittakar Casa

WEST POINT, May 2S.-In the Whitaker
case to-day evidence was submitted showing
the unreliability OF Whittaker's statement.
Whittaker's counsel had no testimony to offer,
and the case was closed as regards further tes-
timony.
Recorder Sears summed up at great length
III the course of which he ridiculed the idea of
conspiracy among the cadets to outrage the
negro, commented severely upon the remarks
made about the affair, said the reporter of the
New York Times had printed lies and said
that Martin L. Townsend was violently pre-
Judlced; that all the testimony went to show
that Whitaker was the author of his own as
sault. He considered Whittakers motive to
lie in the fear that he could not graduate and
the fact OF being rejected by girl whom he
thought he might win by showing himself to
be prosecuted. He concocted this scheme be-
lieving he would be sent to the hospital and
failing to pass would go out into the world
with host of friends to receive him as mar
tyr. The Recorder closed by demanding that
Whitaker be tried by court martial
Lieut. Knight SAID there was nothing in the
evidence showing Whittaker's story to be I'M
true. He regretted the isolated position of his
client, and said that his friend had made it
more so by taking up the time of the court
with nothing in general. He ridiculed the
idea that Whitaker wanted sympathy. No
evidence had reflected upon Whitaker from
his boyhood up to the time he was found
bound. He demanded court of inquiry
which would be more severe than court
perts IN writing had contradicted themselves
and claimed the note of warning was a
forgery of Whittaker's writing and that the
paper W as stolen from Whittaker's room with
the object of fastening suspicion on him.
The court adjourned sine die.
Tonight the court will give its opinion to
Gen. Schofield who will forward it to the
War Department
