no surprise Whitaker has been pro,iuds!d
on suppostiOn, assumption, insinuatiGEs aud
expert testimony, upon which, according to
military law, little, if any, reliance should
be placed" The academy dcEitrously shiltcd
the responsibility by having Whitaker call
for u court OF inquiry, instead of having ii
come from the president In the former caso
Whitaker alone is the accused; in tho latter
the whole corps OF cadets, Whitaker included,
would have been on trial The whole inquiry
has been pure inquisition, worthy of tho old
days of thumb-screw and rack. The findings
are vague, mostly belief with slight regard for
evidence. No ono 10 presumed in law to IN uTo
himself but Whitaker is 50 presumed by
this court. He submitted to the assault
through fear and made no great alarm prob
ably because ho knew ho had no friends
there. Ii there Is 10 evidence shat any
ether person committed tho outrage there is
none that Whitaker did It, The court thinks
he could have freed himself Burnett sitting
M with feet FREQ aud hands not bound so
tightly broke the bands with the greatest
difficulty. Lieutenant Knight tied thcm to
chair and demonstrated conclusively their
great strength. Whitaker was on his back
with hands and feet tied. The court believes
that he could have cut his own hair aud
bound himself, yet the two post-barbers tosti-
fed that ho could not have 30 cut it, Ex-
