The Faniousllnglish Baccarat Scan-
dal Case in Court.
THE PRINCE WILL TESTIFY.
Albert Edward, the Heir to the British
Throne, to Be Called to the ‘Witness
' Stand by COuIisel forthe Accused,
Sir Willimn Goran C'umin‘ing.
LONDON, J une 2.,——’I‘he cause celebrc of
the time, the action for libel appearing on
the cOurt docket as the case of Sir William
Gordon Cumming vs. Wilson and others,
but better kn own to the general public as
- the “baccarat. case,” Mnoday came’ up for
trial before Lord Chief Justice Coleridge
and a special jury in the royal courts.
The story of this famous scandal is brief-
ly as follows: During the. Doncaster Sep-
tember meeting Mrs. Arthur Wilson, the
WILLIAM GORDON CUMMING.
don, invited the Prince of \Vales with a
party of his friends to be her guests at her
Doncaster residence during the progress
of the races. The invitation was accepted,
and among those who accompanied the
prince in his visit was the plaintiff in the
present case, Sir William~Gordon Cum-
ming, the particular friend of the heir
apparent to the British throne, lieutenant
colonel of the Scots guards and the gentle-
man who is engaged, it is said, to a. daugh-
ter of the late William Garner, of New
York.
It was the fashion for the distinguished
party housed in Mrs. Wilson’s elegant
residence to amuse themselves in the even-
ing after the races with play, baccarat
being as a game, the prime favorite. It
came to pass in the fullness of time that
intimations were made that certain bets
had or had not been made. Later on cer-
tain of the party became positive that
there had been a painful lack of regularity
in that respect, and that the particular,
indeed only, offender was the distinguished
guardsman.
Wales’ Demand.
The Prince of Wales immediately in-
sisted that an investigation should be
had. The investigation which followed
was conducted by Lord Coventry and
General Owen Williams, and as aresult
it was found that Sir William Gordon
Cumming’s plight was such as to suggest
that mercy to that gentleman would best
be exercised by dropping further inquiry.
The Prince of Wales thereupon exacted a
promise from the plaintiff that? he should
in future abstain from playing cards,
This, however, did not~close the incident,
for as the result of a quarrel amonga
number of aristocratic ladies the, whole
matter leaked out, and Sir William Gor- .
' don was promptly conducted to the social
pillory, where he has since remained in
much anguish of mind.
Finally the slander assumed such‘ di‘
mensions that the baronet felt compelled
to bring this action for libel against his
alleged traduccrs, among whom' are Gen-
eral Williams and Lord Coventry. Since
the unfortunate afiair was first ventilated
Sir William Gordon Cumming has, by
special and pressing request, resigned his
commission in the army.
When the court opened the small room
was crowded to excess by the ultra-fash-
ionables of London; _ In the gallery brill-
iantly dressed society ladies who had suc-
cessfully intrigued for admission were
dominant, but for every one who obtained
the privilege of breathing the vile atmos-
phere of the room a dozen went broken
hearted away, after having appealed in
vain to every officer of the court, high or
low, whom they thought impressionable.
The plaintiff entered the room promptly
and took his seat by the side of the so-
licitor general, who is to conduct his case,
and was shortly afterward followed by
the Prince of Wales, accompanied by his
equerry, Sir Francis Knollys. In opening
the trial, -L‘ord Chief Justice Coleridgc
stated that it was his desire that his royal
highness should be kept in the court room
as little as possible.
The solicitor general said in reply that
while it was not possible at the present
stage of the proceedings to say” exactly
when the prince would be called; it was
the desire of the prosecution to consult his
convenience as much as possible. The
lord chief justice then said that he also
,wished it remembered that the prince was
‘not there as a spectator.
Sir Edward;Clarke,‘ associate counsel for
the prosecution, then opened for the plain
tiff. - ,
The Case Opened.
Sir Edward in opening said that tht
charge covered by the libel was one which
involved the honor of his client and afiect
ed a Whole future career which had hither-
to been one of unspotted repute. His
client was a gentleman who had served his
country with distinction for a. period ex
tending over twenty-three years. He war
a' soldier who had reached the rank 0:-
lieutenant colOnel in one of Great Britain’s
most favorite corps—title Scots Guards——
and he was an officer who had won hit
medals for gallantry at Tel-el-Keber.
He was a. man, too, of independent
wealth; one who for twenty years ha:
been received and honored in the best so
ciety, and one who was the intimate friend
of the Prince of Wales, whose guest he
had several times been at Sandringham
palace. This, continued the attorney gen.
eral, is thevman who stands before the
public charged with cheating at cards,
and so cheating with the object of de
trending some of. his most intimatefriends
The distinguished counsel then minutely
detailed the circumstances attending the
. baccarat party at Mrs. Wilson’s residence
of Tranby Croft, near DOncaster,‘Where
. the offense charged against Sir William
Gordon Cumming is alleged to. have been
committed. Sir Edward also described the
conditions under which - the game was
played. _
‘ Sir Edward said that the, prosecution
would put the Prince of Wales and Gen.
Williams in the witness box, both of
whom would testify that they had seen
nothing wrong on the part of his client,
the plaintiff in the case. Counsel then ex-
plained that in playing baccarat it was Sir
William Gordon, Cumming’s system where
stakes were lost to double them until the
loss, was recovered, when. he would revert
to the original stakes. Sir Edward de-
clared that the moment the first suspicion
of his integrity had been breathed his
client gave an absolute denial of it to Lord
Coventry, a denial which he repeated.
"What Aln I to Do?“
He had then appealed to both gentlemen,
saying, “What am I to do? You, my old
friends, say what should be done.” The
interview finally resulted in witness plac-
ing the matter entirely in the hands of
General Williams and Lord Coventry.
After dinner on the (lay of this inter-
view witness again denied the truth of the
charge to the Prince of Wales, saying to
him, “Your highness will see what a terri-
ble thing is this affair to me, who has
been attempting for twenty years to lead
the life of an officer and a gentleman.”
To this the. prince replied: “What can
you do? There are five accusers.”
Witness responded that his first impulse
had been to publicly insult his accuser-s at
the race course on the following day.
The prince simply remarked: “What is
the use of . that? There ' are five against
. you_n
The witness, continuing his testimony,
which was being listened to with the
most intense interest by the audience
in. the court room, said that later on this
same day be summoned Lord Coventry
and General Williams to his room for con-
sultation. Both gentlemen then told him
that there was only one way by which to
avoid a. horrible scandal—that way was to
sign a document pledging himself to play
cards no more.
Trusted to Their Honor.
To do this, witness said, was tanta-
mount to an admission of his guilt.
Finally, however, he had been persuaded
to sign the paper, which he (lid believing
that he could trust implicitly in the honor
of General Williams and Lord Coventry,
both of whom he regarded as his most in-
timate friends.
Sir William Gordon Cumming, whose
demeanor was perfectly cool throughout,
further testified that on the second night
of play, the Prince of Wales still being
banker, Mr. Stanley Wilson, the son of the
hostess. won five coups running. This the
witness thought good play for a novice.
At the end of this game the Prince of
Wales approached witness and said laugh-
ingly:
“How came you to win so much? You
have won £225 in two nights’ play.”
Witness replied that he could not help
winning with such luck, at the same time
showing the prince a card on which he‘had
kept a record of the winnings of both
banker and players.
The Witness concluded his testimony on
direct examination with an impressive de-
nial that he had ever cheated any man.
On cross—examination the plaintiff, in
reply to a question by Sir Charles Russell,
stated that he had no reason to suspect
the motives of any of the defendants to the
suit. Sir Charles then read from the paper
signed by the plaintiff, in which the latter
says, “I feel that they [his accusers] were
acting perfectly conscientiously in this
matter, and believed they did see me resort
to foul play.”
This sentiment, the plaintiff said, ex-
pressed his feeling about the matter. In
reply to other questions by Sir Charles
Russell the plaintiff explained that during
the progress of the game he had nothing
before him save a. piece of paper, a pencil
and possibly a tumbler. Acting on a sug-
gestion, he had placed a piece of paper
‘ with some games to facilitate their handing
up, and to afford the banker an oppor-
tunity to readily see the stakes.
(int Away with Everything in Sigllt..
SEATTLE, Wash, June 2,—One of the
sleekest all-rOund'~ satindlei-s is now én
route east, having corraled everything in
sight in this section." Last fall N. W.
Flaisig formed a partnership with Peter
Bauman, of this city, as agents for the
Garden City Billiard Table company,
of Chicago. Mr. Flaisig’s proceedings
did not excite suspicion until early in
May. Mr. Bauinan was absent and Flasig
seized the opportunity to dispose of the
stock and take his departure. The com-
pany got wind of trouble and sent out
Mr. Ludwig, an agent, who arrived the
day Flaisig left. An examination showed
that Flaisig had made a clean sweep of ev-
erythin g of value and raised money on it,
and borrowed money on fictitious securi-
ties. Since that time drafts on himself,
ranging all the way from $50 to 8200, have
been coming from towns all along his
route east, and aggregating $650, the last
being from Helena, Mon. The Garden
.. City company is out about $10,000. The
agent says Flaisig left his young wife prac-
tically penniless. Mr. Bauman, his late
partner, is practically ruined, and several
of his other victims could in spare their
losses. . .
A Theater in Flames.
NASHVILLE, June 2.—Fire‘ broke out in
the Buckhingham theater, on Collegt
street, near Public square, this city, at
midnight. A number of actresses whc

escapes. Three of them and a child were
rescued from the cornice of the fourth
story by firemen. Anegro who jumped
from the third story broke his leg. At 1:50
Monday morning the roof, of the building
fell in, injuring three of the firemen, none
of Whom are thought to be seriously hurt.
. Their names are: Thomas Palmer, hurt in'
the thigh; Alex Hughes, bruised about tlie
body; James McDermott, bruised in the
head and body. The fire was under con-
' trol at 2:30 a. m. -
To Cremate Barnmn’s Remains.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., June 2.-—Benjamin'
Fish, treasurer of the Barnum & Bailey
Show and cousin of Mrs. Barnum, is quoted
as saying: ‘_‘I have just left Mrs. Barnum
and we have decided that. the best thing
that we can 'do is to have Mr. Barnum’s
body exhumed and cremated. ‘That was
his wish, and such a disposition would
have been made of the remains but for the
opposition of members of: the family. We
will communicate .at once with the rela-
tives and endeavor in every possible, way
to secure their consent.”
