WRITAXIB DENIES GUILT.
'i-','-
Day la Coart Most Interesting Since
,-i , Trial Began.
Ashevllle. July 18. "I am guilty of
no wrong. I am aha have been sin
cere and honest of purpose. I know
that there Is a fund m England for
the Whitaker heirs. One chief ac
countant of the Bank of England ad
mitted that there was. Another chief
accountant did not deny It."
This is in . concise language what
Rev. William Q. Whitaker told the
Jury and the court this morning as
he jboldly faced in his own defense
the twelve men who will shortly pass
upon his Innocence or guilt under the
government's charge that he has vio
lated the laws of the land and used
the malls for fraudulent purposes.
The Session Interesting.
The hearing this morning was per.
haps the most interesting of any that
has been had Blnoe the trial began
nearly a week ago. , Every day since
he was called to the bar of justice Mr.
Whitaker has occupied a seat In the
court room just behind his counsel, at
times listening with amused indiffer
ence to a recital of some bit of testi
mony; at other times coaching his at
torneys and still at others leaning
forward in his chair with eagerness
to catch some important sentence as it
fell from the Hps of a sworn wit
ness. Late yesterday afternoon the de
fense called as Its witness VRev. Wil
liam G. Whitaker." Almost instantly
there was a craning of necks and a
shifting abourt of spectators as the
name of the chief figure in the inter.
eating and hard fought trial was call

Has Remarkable Memory.
Whether he be guilty under the
government's charge or whether he be
as Innocent as a new-born babe he
forced the conclusion In the minds of
perhaps a very great : majority of
those who listened with interest to a
recital of his eventful career' that he
is a man endowed with a remarkable
memory; that he Is a man of no mean
ability; that he is a man who "has
done some measure of good. In a most
interesting and entertaining manner
Mr. Whitaker traced the genealogy of
the Whitaker family from Capt. John
Whitaker of Revolutionary times to
the present generation. He had dates
and figures and names at his finger
tips. He was never at a loss for words.
He was not confused. The witness
also told of how he had become' In
