The Whitaker Case.

West Point, 2S.-In the Whitaker
case Lieut. McClemand testified to find
ing, in company with Recorder Sears,
pants in an overcOat sleeve in Whit
takers room, Whitaker having pre-
viously denied having any citizens
clothing in his room. He afterwards
confessed the pants were his, but only
when his name was found on the bind
ing. A coat and vest were also found in
his room. BE could not account for the
presence of the pantaloons In his room,
but said he had not seen them since last
Christmas, and some one else must have
placed them there. The recorder said
there were other things tending to show
that Whitaker was unreliable. He had
q love affair which made him morbid.
Curious extracts frem his diary were
read, showing he believed people about
him despised him. After some more
pslaver the testimony was closed.
Recorder Sears summed up. He
criticised the public as misinformed and
prejudiced; took ground thstthe evidence
from the first showed that Whitaker
assaulted himself. BE alluded to
Mcdonald striking Whitaker. The
latter did not have courage to resent the
blow, although he must have known he
would be held blameless. He, however,
reported the case, and Mcdonald
was tried and dismissed. He de-
clared that Whitaker was in a
dangerous position just before April
9Th, as to passing examination.
He ridiculed the idea that cadets could
have had any motive for mulilatiDg him
or hiring outsiders to do so: Whitaker
had peEjured himself to hide his crime,
and his own testimony alone WAS more
than enough to convict him. Whittaker's
motives vera fear of not passing and
being Tilted by a girl. He took this
method of exciting sympathy in her AID
becoming a martyr 10 the world. He
charged that Whitaker disguised his
hand in writing slips for experts and
circumstanlisl evidence was SO strong
that be should be tried for conduct inbe-
coming a cadet and for perjury.
Lieutenant Knight, counsel for Whit
taker, then said The recorder had given
his interpretations, but that was no reason
why the court should.

mother must speak gently to the

uwn children are sometimes o
,rih. annoying. And SO on.
