Court were opened. There was an
unusual attendance Of the legal frater-
nifty, this being the day for disposing
or arranging for tho trial of the cases

The trial list was called, and occu-
pied about an hour. Only 81 cases

ing passed, continued, discontinued or

ber of cases on the list were 249.

and of the same against the Every
Evening Publishing Company. In all
these cases Croasdale and the L. l.. Co.
asktd d for special juries, and were re
quired To deposit with The Court the
cost Of the juries.
The question Of the amnunt oT the
costs was argued, and tho Court, in
answer to Inquiries, were informed that
the usual deposit in such cases was
$500.
Messrs. Bates and Bird, counsel for
Croasdale and the L. Il. Co., demurred
at this sum as being exhorbitant and
out of reason, as they thought the ac-
tual expense of the especial panel would
not be more than one-half of the
amount designated.
Finally Rich. G.. Cooper, ESQ. a
former Prothonotary, was sent for and
said the usual practice was to deposit
$500 for special jury. The Court. i'll
view of the number of cases, fixed the
amount of deposit at 500 in each case
making total of $500.
The cases against the Insurance
Company were fixed for Friday next.

How Cadet Whitaker \
CauRnt

a letter from west Point dated
May l6, says:
The examination of Whitaker
will be concluded to-day and the
investigation wound up. There can
be no doubt that the report will
find Whitaker guilty.
The details of Mr.. Southworth's
discovery are thus told more accu.
rately. He had among the papers
given him a requisition for postage
stamps by Whitaker, two sheels of
letter of Whitaker to his mother
and the note of warning He acci-
dentally discovered that the two
hall sheets, on one of which the let
ter to Whittaker's mother was writ
ten, had never formed one sheet.
but the requisition and one of the
sheets on which was the letter to
his mother had once been a whole
sheet That led him to compare the
other two pieces Of paper, and he
FOUND That the other sheet of the let
ter to Whittaker's mother and the
note OF warning had been one paper.
When he made that discovery he
took to his bed with excitement and
he was unable to read his report IN
court. Recorder Sears says that the
papers, when placed in iuxtaposi-
llon, Will be photographed and en-
tered on the minutes of the court,
The last session for the hearing OF
the testimony will occur Tomorrow
unless in the future some minor
points may have to be inquired into
The argument by the Recorder and
Lieutenant Knight, Whittaker's
counsel, will follow, when the court
wlll make up its report, finishing it
probably before June |.
General Schofield says that as the
report of the court is to be present.
ed to hlm he does not want to say
anything on the subject. ANY re.
ports OF fears of disorderly conduct
by the cadets against Whitaker are
premature, as it Is the understanding
among them to allow the court To
take care of the whole case.
Professor Greener still claim,
that Whitaker is inocent and saw,
he has some important points whicl
he intends to make known over hi
own signature, but not to the court
