West Pors may 15.—This was a dramatic day in the Whittaker case, and a surprising one to everybody but the members of the Court end the experts. To Whittaker and his faithful friend, Prof. Greener. it was a day far barder to ear than any that hus preceded,for while hitherto the colored cadet bas had a foil, to-day there wus nothing in race or class prejudices, or a par- tial Court, to shicld him from the evidence which shut upon him in a way entiroly unex- pected. Those, who have all along held. to. Whitraker’s innocence cannot fail to. be shaken at least by the discovery of one of the experts, an- nounced this afternoon toward the closs of a jong session: That anfouncement explained perfectly the look of quict satisfaction which the members of the Military Court have for pome-days noticeably worn. Through all the exciting scene Whittaker himself was THE COOLEST PERSON IN TBE ROOM. © Be answered the questions which told most against him and heard the charges of the ex- perts thathe must have written the note of warning as unmoved and unconcerned as if ho were least instead of most interested. Whittaker was on the witness stand the great- er purtof the day,and held firmly through everything to his original story concerning the outrage. The chief interesting feature bf his testimony was his throwing suspicion on two of the cadets with whom he had had trouble, though he said he did not suspect tbam till about the 15th of Aprii,and bad received a suggestion from Lieut, Flipper asto one of them. Further, that be did not think his suspi- cion grounded well enough to mention it to his counsel, and should not have made it public but for the direct questioning by the Court. Whit- taker acknowledged the writing of a letter to his mother, which was shown him ocatly incased in a frame and covered by glass. This was the point up to which the Recorder had been work- ing. After drawing from Whittaker positive denials that he ever saw the note of warning be- fore it was sent to him, and also the affirmation of belief that the cadets who mutilated him FORGED HIS HAND in order to throw the blame upon him. Recorder Sears read the report of the con- quering expert who bad the good fortune to discover to his own satisfacnon and that of two of his fellow experts that the famous note of warning was written on the other half of the sheet of paper on which Whittaker had written-to his mother the night before the alleged outrage. The warn- ing was produced, also in frame, and the expert testimony was read, saying that both the hand- writing and the torn sheetsof paper gave con- clusive proof that the note had been WRITTEN BY WHITTAKER BIMSELP, ‘There was a great scene at this, Whittaker. alone seeming indifferent. Then the Recorder adjourned the court. There was no need for it tosit longer to-day. - ‘It is plain what the verdict and report will be in the face of this singular and damaging testi- mony. Prof. Greener would only suy that be did not give up yet, but he was evidently in doubt what tothink. Thereseems no adequate motive for the deed, and altogether the Whittaker case bids fair toremuin one of the most extraordinary on record. + To the Western Assoctated Press, 2 ‘West Point, N. ¥., May 15.—Joseph E. Paine, expert. was recalled, and testified to the striking similarities in one of the sets of pairs viewed by the other experts with the note of warning. His restimony was,in the main, corroborative of the other experts. Cadet Whittaker was called. In reply toques- tions he said be had heard before he came to the Academy of the way in which colored cadets were treated. The prospect was not encourag- ing, but be had in some respects been treated _ oetter than he expected. A copy of Lieut. Flipper’s book on “The Colored Cadet at West Point” was shown Whittaker. The book con- tained an extract from a letter from Whittaker, fn which he spoke of bis treatment as “ bully.” Whittaker said the extract was a correct one, and it was a true statement of his sentiments at thetime it was written. He thought from ac- counts that some colored cadets had been Re TREATED WORSE THAN BE HAD. ‘Question—Has there been anything in your or their treatment that would lead a sensible man (lo mutilate or make himself sick? Answer—No; not if be was a man. Whittaker said when the wrongs done him were reported to the authorities they had been redressed. He had no clew to the perpetrators of the outrage. He now had some suspicions of Cadets Blake and McDonald. He suspected Blake on account of the manner in which Blake Ueated tim a few days before the outrage. He had puton Blake's cap by mistake one day coming out of the Academy, and Blake was very angry about it. He also suspected Blake because of the scorntul manner in which Blake moved out of the way one day when he (Whit- tiker) was leaving the Commissary. Question—Do you think this scorn was Fulfcient10 lead a man to mutilate another, and runthe risk of being dismissed from the army of the United States and being contined in the Penitentiary? Answer—I knew a sensible man would not doit, but knew some men could be so debased and so biased that they couid be led to such an act. _He did not entertain these suspicions at the time of his previous examination. They were AN AFTER-THOUGHT. He bad had these suspicions for some time. He suspected McDonald from the fuss he had with him when they were plebs. He had had knowl- edge of this fuss before the investigation began, but since his previous testimony be had thought Matter all uver, including his treatment by. Various cadets, and he bad nuw reached the con- clusion just given. He bud seen some evidences of aversion towards him by several other cadets, but not like that of Blake. He did not remem- ber that ne had told Licut. Knight of his sus- jons. Question—If you have not told him, do you Fou have done your duty to as your Sounsél und yourself? Answer—I think I have, if I did not think of it shen talking with him. If he bad uot told Ueut. Knight, perbups the suspicions were not strong enough. The Mecorder showed Whittaker a letter and asked: Js that your writing? Whitaker said he could not tell till he read the letter, and be reached out for it, ‘The Kecorder would not let him take it, but Stid: “You see this letter. 1s that your writ- Vhittaker refused to say whether the writing ‘Was his or not till he bad ee EXAMINED THE LETTER ; r mare closely, aud. renched for it again, an Sain the Recorder withdrew in, when Lieut.

Hoe stated the circumstances of the attack in detail, saying his injuries might be superficial, as they had Deen termed; yet they would BEMAIN WITH HIM FOREVER. It was not the slight scratches be bud received, but the outrage itself that be cared about. He spoke of it tg au act so iendish and cowardly that suvages would even bide their head with shame; that it was an net of sp.rit so cowardly and base 4s were not fit to grace the society of the lower regions. He said it cast a beautiful reputation upon one of tho highest schools of the country, and he felt that the day of retribution mustcome tw his cowardly persecutors, and expressed bis faith in Heaven, His reading of the letter was intensely dra- matic, suiting bis vorce and manner to the writ- ten sentent letter was written by a colored man named wenn in New York City. In one portion of the letter was a sencenge reading in substance as follows: * And this i$ what I have sulfered at one vf your schools boastiag of honor,” etc. Recorder Seurs asked him how he reconciled the statements in his letter with ‘THE T2STIMONY HE HAD RECENTLY GIVEN. Waittaker replied: “Those wore the utter- aneesof my heart, and they were my feolings ‘vhen 1 wrote, and Leung to them to-day, sir, just as tenaciously us when they were uttered. ‘The Recorder asked him if the marks on his ears remain, and he r-plied in the attirmative, ‘and turned his bead so the Court could see his cars. There are yet 6ligat marks on them. The Recorder next cross-examined witness on his former evidence and first statement. The discrepancies were trivial. He was questioned ely. as to bis Kuowledge of how they mark boys down South, and how vegroes in Suuth C ja were mutiluted by Ku-Klux. To the latter be answered he had heard of shooting them, killing them, burning them, etc. He never beard of their nuses ur lips being slit or ears cropped. + 1n reply to questions he safd he bad WRITTEN TWO OR THREE STORIES, but badn't sent them tothe newspapers. He had written two or three simply for amusement in leisure hours. He had written one or two love stories, and bad read some sensational lit- erature, but not much, Question—Do you or have you considered that you have’ a special mission to perform for the Social elevation of your race more than any other intelligeut or educated man? Answer—Not more thun any other intelligent educated man. -. Whittaker had six handkerchiefs, but «ONLY FOUR WERE FOUND. Couldn't tell where the other two were. If his necktie could not be tuund he supposed it was tost. He always used a pilluw-case on bis pil- low, and couldn't tell how his knife cume to be on the door of his room. If the door was locked in the bath-room when he wis there he didn’t know it, and he dido’tthink it was found locked. Itmay have been. He was handed a letter he wrote to bis mothor on the day of the outrage, and be read it aloud. Recorder—Why do you'say in that letter “I Shall see that justice is done if I huve to apply. to Congress ”” @. * Aunswer—Well, sir, I know I am innocent, and Iwanted A FULL INVESTIGATION. I never hada doubt but the authorities would investigate it. He wus questioned closely about the burnt papers found on the fluor, and then again de- scribed minutely how be laid upon the fluor. He was afraid to cry out, fear! he would be ‘killed. His Bible was intact the night before, and he could not account for the fact that the fitty leaves had been carefully cut out, and that the cuts were of the length of his scissors bdludes.. He. had no guspicion who the third eadet might be. He ‘was smaller than Cadet Blake, taller than McDonald. Flipper bad sent him a telegram suggesting that McDonald might be one of his assailants. No one else had suggested the name of a cadet. He had SPOKEN TO DETECTIVE FISHER and another detective about Blake and McDon- ald, and, in reply to questions, udded: ‘* No one suggested I should mention their names to the Court. I think I have done justice in not men- doning them before I was asked. I do not think it justice to myself to mention any suspicions unless I have perfect grounds.” The Recorder—How can you justify yourselt in coming into court and_ bringing the names of these men into disrepute? unarene saa asked me, and I have the right ell you. ‘The Recorder then asked him if he still ad- hbered to his statement that he knows nothing evens the note of warning, and he replied he ‘Suppressed portions of the reports of the ex- perts were read by the Recorder, showing that each expert fixed upon the handwriting of Ca- det Whittaker as the handwriting of the person who wrote the note of warning. The experts’ statements all bore heavily against Whittaker. IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT. Thesuppressed portion of expert Southworth’s report presented at the secret session of the court was read. He says: You will no doubt be surprised when I tell you I havea sheet which lbave marked “A" in two places out of set 1 frem which the paper upon which the anon mous note is written was torn. The fact is easily discernible to the ordinary vision with the naked eye.

Every one of the experts, five in all, identified the handwriting of Whittaker as the hand- writing in the note of warning, three of them being positive.
