Tho Verdict Of tho Court Martial is that he
Cut His Own Ears.
WASHINGTON, August 5.--Thc tenor
of the verdict in the Whitaker case
has been the subject Of 2 good deal Of
speculation. 1t has been generally un-
detstood that it was avcrec to Whitta-
Ecr, but this was not positively known
| until now. The report Of the court
martial arrived at the Office Of the
Judge Advocate General some time
ago. but owing to General Swain's at
tendance upon the patient at the
| white House 1t was not examined 4
1t is now being revised and will be-
| ready Tor submission to the President
| Tor his iinal action just as soon rs he is
able to give his attention to il. The
essence Of the verdict is the finding of
| Whitaker guilty of committing the at
legged outrage on himself. This ver-
dict is unanimous and is coupled with
the unanimous recommendation thai
he be dismissed from the service. The
Judge Advocate Ganeral will approve
this verdict, there is not the slightest
doubt about that, and thus will end
the most remarkable military trial on
record. 1t has cost the government
nearly $4,000 to decide who ,nutia.-
ell Whittaker's ears, and even now,
when it is all over aud the verdict is
that the boy did the job to excite pub.
lie sympathy, it will he received with
some doubt by good many people.
