Apostle of the Gentiles cemented I with
Septuagesima Sunday, and it was uot pro-

the use of candles in the chan-

clergy of this -diocese from bbs beginning;
the elevation of tlae bread and wine during

from the peeitioo by main force, so anxious
was he to have a peep at the prisoners. Our

car. The prisoners' legs were Manacled,

CADET WHITAKER.
Strong Suspielon that llo Cut Himself.
The Note °Morning Traced to WilsOwie
Mond,
WEST PO/NT, N.Y., May 17.a -Whitaker;
the colored cadet who was found bound
with topes in bed sometime ago with Wu:
ears badly out and mutilated, was pieced
in the witness Mend on Saturday et the
close of the investigation, which hall been
going On ever since the supposed outrage
was perpetrated. A letter was given him,
and he:was asked if it woo in hie hand-
writing. Hp read. it aloud. T.n ft the
cadet said- he felt hitneelf utterly
forlorn and friendless. He could
hardly helve dreamed, but that seran
day the cadetswould do him iUstiCe.
He referred to the outrage as barbarous,
and said, as he thought of it, anger even
boiled within his breast. Be stated the.
circumstances of the attack in detail, say.
Ing that his injuries might be superficia1!
as. they had been termed, yet they would
relearn with him femur.It was watt
slight scratches he had aeceived, but- the
outrage itself that he eared ebtatit, He
spoke of it as an aot so fiendish and
cowardly that swages would even hide ,
their heads 'with aharate ; tbitt it was the -
act of spirits so cowardly end base as were
not fit to grace the society of the lower
regions, He said it cast it beautiful repu-
tation on one of the highest schools of the
country, and he felt that a day of retrain- :, •
titan raust .come to his powaxdly per-
secutors, and expressed his faith in heaven.
'LB reading of the letter was intensely
dramatic, suiting his voice-axid manner to '
the written sentences..The letter was.writ, • •
ten to a 'colored man named Webster, in .
New York. All the suppressed portions. of
'the reports of the experts were then read
by the recorder, showing that each expera
fixed upon the handwriting of Cadet 'Whit-
taker as the handwriting of the person who ,
wrote the note of warning, thus 'fixing the
identity of all the mysterious numbers •
named in the reports. Of the experts on
Whittaker. There was a great mass of
this evidence ott ' notes, • sheets 'of
paperaexperts' statements, etc.; etc:, all of
which bore heavily. against 'Whittaker.
The culminating event of the entire ins
vestigation thus far was the reading of the
euppressed portion of expert •Southworth' - • •
report, as it was presented to the court at
the late secret session. It stated that the
pieces. of paper on which the oictices of
warning was written- was cut from it sheet
of paper on which Whittaker •bad com-
menced a letter to his ;mother. The ragged
edges fitted onetanother, and as the writing
has been proven to be Vhittaker's and tha
paper to have been his, the sensation itt
court was intense, as all. expettshave
decided alike, and the whole.evidenoe now •
points to Whittaker as having mutilated
himself to gain notoriety, sympathy and te •
