Examination in the case of Cadet Whit

taker was first examined. His story agrees
with the first statement. He was on the stand
over two hours / He first described the
assault on him, reiterating his former story
infinitely, saying the men were genteelly at
tired, and he could not tell whether they were
citizens or disguised cadets. He said that he
cried loud enough for help for the occupants
in the adjoining room to hear him if they had
been awake. The transem over the door was
open, as was ALSO the ventilator over his desk.
He said the men had on slippers or were in
their stocking feet, and one Of the largest car
.ried either a candle or taper. He did not
even suspect who they were. When asked
what had been his personal feeling within
month as to the probability Of his
graduating, he replied, u always, felt, that I
should 90 through" He saio he never had
special cause for diseourag cement befprez this
occurred. EaHe testified hohad no reasons is
suppose that there weres preiudices- in the
minds Of his instructors against him, and that
he has had fair chance of getting through as
far as they are concerned, but felt that his So.
cial isolation has had an effect upon him so
far as his studies were concerned. When some
pieces Of the belt with which he was tied were
shown witness it was noticed that one piece
contained an eyelet which none but officers
belts have, and Whitaker has never been an

THE AXLEY & WILSON TRIAL.

H. .AaNlsls ~ W Ils''-' III
The trial Of AXley & Wilson. charged
with keeping a gambling den, came up be
fore Justice Robinson yesterday at o'clock
in the afternoon, and by that time men
whose sons had lost money in the house, and
who desired to see it suppressed, gathered
in the court room, as did also the gamblers
who support the house, and who desired to
see it shielded. The impartial judge, with
feet cooked upon the desk before him, pa.
tentIy awaited the arrival Of the attorneys,
whose absence vas visible painful to the
waiting and curious crowd At about two
O'Clock these gentlemen put in their ap-
pcMance and half an hour later they
announced themselves ready 70 proceed
with the trial.
Quite anumbcr Of witnesses were then
sworn, but no positive evidence against
Axlcy & Wilson's hou,. could be obtained
from them, since, as they said, by telling
al. they knew about It, they would Grim.
mate themselves. Mr.. Frank Cherry swore,
however. that he had made a
faro box for the firm aud that on
one occasion he had been in
the room and had seen poker played for
what appeared to him to De silver dollars.
Mr.. Green Stewart swore that he had
| been in the room several times and on
every occasion had seen poker or faro
p ayci for red or white chips which repre-.
scented money. Besides giving very full
explanation Of the game, he stated
that he had seen one man pay ioul
dollars TOR some Of the chips
This was about the substance Of the testi-
m0ny aud it coming from an unimpeach
able source and being very direct and con
elusive, the city thought it unnecessary t.
examine any other witnesses and rested its
case there. The defense, seeing that thc
