Wales on the Stand in the Baccarat
Scandal Case.
HE GREATES A SENSATION.
The Prince Declared That He Had Not
Met the Plaintiff Since the Unfortu-
nate Affair. and That He Did Not
Want to Meet Him in Future.
LONDON, June 3. _,A summary of yester-
day’s evidence in the baccarat case was
telegraphed to the queen at Balmoral, in
accordance with her orders. During the
court session yesterday a telegram was
handed to the Prince of W ales, supposed
to be from his mother. The queen is said
to be more deeply affect-ed by the affair
than by any event since the deathof Prince
Leopold, and a leading Liberal connected
with the trial expressed the apprehension
yesterday that it might have an influence
onher health, especially in the event of
any incident reflecting on the prince.
Fashionable London, wherever it was
possible to do so,~again deserted the sun-
shine, geiitlyu’iTibrzi’t-ing leav “find fresh
green grass for‘ the stifling mphere of
the royal courts, wherein Lord Chief J us-
tice Coleridge sits in judgment on what
West End ladies discreetly and modestly
whisper of as “that terrible case of the
prince, the colonel and the lady,” though
Why “the lady” is a matter which remains
to be seen. Down in the clubs knowing
fellows, men about town, with smirk and
smile speak of it as that “nawsty baccarat
business in the lifiiice’s set.”
There is, however, nothing startling in
the fact that the fashion, the pound-shil-
ling-and-peiice aristocracy, and a. certain
class possessing a
sort of obscure
culture, as unerr—
111eg points its
way to a scandal
as does needle to
magnet. It is a
thing as true as .
that the time lion-
ored illustration
here used to en—
force comparison
is ,incrustcd with
barnacles. Never-
theless when silk
and satin bcgowricd figures of artistically
rouged, if somewhat distressfully palpitat-
ing dowrtgcrs, veterans of a hundred
esclandres were again observed fiercely
fighting their way to the modest inches of
gallery space reserved for their Often too
ample for-ms. irreverent onlookers con-
jectured that there must be somewhere
concealed about her majesty’s royal court:
a succulent morscl of social carrion.
. The Scene In Court.
Looking down from the gallery upon
the scene below one sees quietly seated,
suave in manner and composed in coun-
tenance, some of the leading lawyers of
England’s mighty bar. Scattered here
and there about the narrow confines of
the court room, and clannishly consorting
with favorite counsel and trusted friends,
are Mr. and Mrs. Lycett Green, Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur \Vilson, Mr. Stanley ”Wilson,
and others directly and indirectly inter-
ested in this celebrated case.
A tall, broad shouldered man, here ac-
cused of unfair work with. cards, but else-
where cheerfully acknowledged to have
plied a trenchant blade for the honor of
bonny Scotland and the glory, and inci-
dental profit, of old England at Tel-el-
Keber, the plaintiff, Sir William Gordon
Cumming, enters. He strides rapidly over
to Sir Edward Clarke’s table, shakes hands
with the doughty solicitor general, and a
moment later becomes apparently an im-
passive spectator of passing events.
When the Prince of \Vales enters, it is
observed that his royal highness, if not
so jocund of visage as in days of yore,
makes up “for the_deficit in the right royal
rotundity and impressive girth of his
august person. As he makes his way
across the room the ruflle of women’s
skirts is heard as their fair owners crane
their necks forward to catch a glance at
majesty in difficulties. The prince, on his
arrival, is received by the audience stand-
ing, a courtesy which he acknowleges by
a slight and remarkably graceful how. He
seats himself in his place of honor on the
left side of Lord Chief Justice Coleridge.
He is seemingly oblivious of how many
there are in the room who hope to enjoy
the rare treat of seeing a coming king
stretched upon the rack of cross—examinar
tion.
At this moment there is everywhere the
buzzing of the human flies. Presently the
buzzing ceases, the lord chief justice en-
ters and takes his seat upon the bench.
Learned counsel give a last and perfunctory
touch to their papers; the ladies apply a
delicate finishing flick to their plumes,
and the court is proclaimed in order. Sir
William Gordon Cumming, the plaintifl,
enters the witness box and his cross-ex-
amination by Sir Charles Russell is re—
sumed.
The Plaintiff Under Fire.
In reply to a question by Sir Charles,
plaintiff a fiitted that hum instituted
the libel pro' .edings because of the scan-
dal becoming known, and because, had he
failed to do, his club (the United Service)
would have taken the matter up.
Sir Charles then read two letters from
General Owen Williams to Sir William
Gordon Cumming referring to complaints
made by the plaintiff that the pledge-of
secrecy with regard to the matter at issue
had been broken by General Williams.
These letters began with the term “Dear
Bill.” '
Cross-examination of Sir W'illiam Gor-
dOn Cumming was resumed and the 'Wit‘
ness in answer to questions by counsel
testified that, when in January last he had
applied to Colonel Stracey of the Scots
guards, to be retired on half pay that ofli-
cer told him that the fact. of his. having
signed the document presented to him at
Trunby Croft by Lord Coventry and Gen-
eral Williams could not be overlooked.
Thereupon plaintiff stated the difficulty
to General Williams, who wrote him:
“You are at liberty to tell Colonel Stracey
PRINCE OF WALES.
treme pressure and a promise of secrecy.
You never ceased to deny the charge.”
Plaintiff had never said, “Levett, couldn’t
you say you were mistaken ?”
Sir Charles Russell—Colonel, Sir Will-
iam Gordon Cumming, you will have to
be careful.
Under 'flerce cross-examination the
plaintiff reluctantly admitted that he had
said something of the sort.
With this admission Sir \Vllliuln was
allowed to leave the box.
The Prince in the Box.
The Prince of Wales was then called,
and occupied the seat in the witness box
that you signed the dOcument under ex—r
just vacated by the plaintiff. \ln \reply to
Sir Edward Clarke, chief counsel for thf
prosecution, the prince testified that hr
had known the plaintiff, Sir William Gor _
‘ don Cumming, for. twenty years; Sii .'
.William had for ten years been his inti ,
mate friend, and had visited him at Sand .
. ringham several times. ‘Coutiiiuing hit '
testimony, the Prince, of Wales said than
his intimacy with the plaintiff had con
tinued unimpaired up to September 0:
last year. During the visit of himself and
party to Tranlcy Croft to attend the au-
tumn races at Doneaster, the witness hat
observed nothing to ‘excite suspicion it
the conduct or hearing of the plaintiff
He had first been informed of the circula
tion of reports derogatory to the character
of Sir William Gordon Cumming by Loni
Coventry.
These reports intimated unfair play by
the plaintiff. The prince then recited hovr
the sad event had resulted in the breaking
up of the party assembled at Tranby Croft
Before leaving Mrs. Wilson’s residencr
witness had sent to his private secretary
Sir Francis Knollys, for safe keeping, t
statement in connection with the casr
which was signed by three of the gentle
men and two of the ladies who were pres
cut at the playing of the disputed game 01
baccarat.
Sir Francis was unaware of the state
.ment intrusted to his care and had not
seen the plaintiff, Sir William Gordor
Ciimming, until after that gentleman ha('
been interviewed by General Williams and
Lord Coventry, and had denied the trutl
of the charge - to him (witness). Wher
witness heard the story of Sir VVilliamh
alleged wron gdoiu g General Williams ant
Lord Coventry prepared for and handed tr
him a pi'ecis of the occurrence. This con-
cluded the evidence of the prince on direc'
Examination. '
The Prince Cross-Examined.
The doubts of the audience in the court
room as to whether his 'royal highnesr
would be subjected to across-examinatior
were at this point set at rest by Sir
Charles Russell’s rising to question tho
distinguished witness in behalf of the de-
fense. In reply to questions by Sir Charles
the prince testified that he believed he had
also seen in this connection Prince Ed
ward and Captain Somerset, in additior
to the three gentlemen to Whom cert-air
statements had been made by three other
gentlemen of the party.
Witness was not informed that two
ladies, whom he had not seen at the time,
alleged that they also had witnessed dis
honest play by the plaintiff. He did not
recollect whether any one of the three gen-
tlemen said anything about withdrawing
a portion of the stakes, or that Sir Will-
iam had systematically placed on thr
board a larger stake than had originally
been placed there. Continuing, the prince
stated that the suggestion that a mem
orandum of the unfortunate affair be pre
pared and submitted to Sir William for
his signature did not come from him. If
was simply a proposition made by Lord
Coventry in which witness acquiesced.
\Vitness was greatly distressed by the oc
currence.
Referring to the interview had by hiiI
with Sir William in the presence of Gen-
eral “Tilliams, witness said that the plain-
tiff asked him whether he believed thr
statements made against him and which
involved his honor. W'itness did not, how-
ever, recollect what had been his reply tc
the question. Witness was quite certain:
that during the conversation the plaintifl
had intimated his willingness to have the
matter of his conduct referred to the Duke
of Cambridge. Also remembered that ii:
reply to this suggestion General Williams
intimated that he did not think the Duke
of Cambridge would look upon the affair
as leniently as we did.
A Staggerer for Cumming.
The prince," continuing his statement,
which was not interrupted by counsel, de-
clared that he had, out of regard for Sir
\Villiain Gordon Cumming, desired to act
as leniently as was possible under the cir-
cumstances. The date of the document
submitted to Sir \Villiain was omitted at
the time of writing, and had been affixed
on the same night, after the plaintiff had
attached his signature to the paper.
Here witness was asked how recently he
had been in the company of the plaintiff.
His reply, which was: “I have not met Sir
William Gordon Cumming since the un-
fortunate occurrences here under investi-
gation. I shall consider it more agreeable
not to meet him in the future,” was deliv-
cred with somewhat of emphasis, and‘cre
ated a sensation.
When Sir Charles Russell had concluded
his cross-examination, and after Sir Ed-
ward Clarke, on behalf of the prosecution,
had, with courtly grace, assured the prince
that he would not be detained one mo-
ment longer than was absolutely neces-
sary, there came the really exciting scene
of the day. .
The Sensation of the Day.
Hardly had the solicitor general finished
his deprecatory sentence when a. juryman,
after unexpectedly indicating his desire
that the witness should not leave the box,
proceeded calmly and deliberately to ex
amine him as follows:
J uror—Are the members of this jury tc
understand that you were acting as bank-
er on those two occasions, and yet saw
nothing of the alleged malpractices?
Prince of Wales—It is a very easy mat
ter for the banker when dealing to not see
anything of that kind. Especially is if
true when the game is being played in the
country house of friends, where one would
not for a moment suspect any person pres-
ent of unfair play.
Back at the heir-apparent came the per-
sistent juror with another question to
which the prince replied that when charges
against the plaintiff were made with so
much of unanimity he considered he had
'no other alternative than to believe ii'
their truth.

LONDON, June 3. —In an interview Minis

A Jockey’s Skull Cracked.
CHICAGO, June 3,—Mathew Monaghan, a
jockey, fell from one of the marble slabs
at Coughlin’s Turkish bath house, on
Madison street, and struck his head on
the stone floor with such, force. that his
skull was cracked. .Drs. McMarf‘in and
.Burr were called, but the jockey was de—
lirious from the injury, and they were un-
able to make an examination thoroughly.
They did not think, however, that the in-
jury was likely to prove fatal. 1 Monaghan
is the sole support of his widowed mother,
who lives in Sandy Hill, N. Y.
A Whole Family Slaughtcred.
LONDON, June 3.—A man and wife and
their child were found dead Tuesday in
their squalid rooms at Kentishtown, a
suburb of this city. All three of the bed-
ies bore terrible wounds inflicted with a
knife. From the appearance of the bodies
and from other circumstances the police
believe that the man first cut the throats
. of his wife and child, and then committed
suicide. It is supposed that poverty and
the fear of starvation led to the tragedy.
