Counsel. for Plaintiff Brings Out the Fact That the Counters Belonged to the Prince—A \Vitness and Jury- .lnan-Get Threatening Letters. LONDON, June 5.—It is quite evident that the friends of Sir William Gordon Cum- ming are cast down by the terribly dam- aging testimony Given by young Wilson. They were not of the number who laughed at the well dressed, languid member of the swell mob as he drawled out in the slang of his class words which, if they stand for facts, mean the utter damnation of one who a few months since, occupied a social position as enviable as that Of any man in England. 0n the other hand, counsel for the defense seem to be in a cheery mood as they engage in conversation among them- selves and with one or the other of their clients. It is observable in this trial that the ladies who frequent the court room mani- fest a consideration for the comfort of judge, jury and auditors which is too often lacking. Conversation ceases when the court is declared open, and not even the entrance into the room Of that long- suffering social lion, Albert Edward, prince of Wales, has tempted the haughty dames who have adorned the royal courts for the past several days to be guilty Of the out-. rageous conduct which has too often in the recent past scandalized the actors, judges and clergy of London. When the lord chief justice entered the court room and proceeded to his seat on the dais it was to find himself surrounded, almost hemmed in, in fact, by the swarm- ing fashionables who surged quite up to the steps of his platform. After turning to salute with a courteous bow the Prince of Wales, who was in the seat reserved for him to the left of the lord chief justice, that official, after acknowledging the riS< ing salute of the bar, took his seat and immediately thereafter the court was de- clared 1n order. ,While the audience was settling itself for the events of the day the plaintiff, Sir William Gordon Cum- ming, entered the room and moved quiet- ly over to where his chief counsel, Sir Edward Clarke, was waiting to warmly clasp his hand. It was remarked that the celebrated plaintiff bore. himself with a dignity and unassuming modesty which his enemies had not expected to witness after the fore and aft fire of yesterday. ‘When the court had been formally pro- claimed in session, counsel for the prose- cution called young Arthur Stanley VVil- son to the witness box and took up his cross-eXamination. The Agony Resumed. The witness testified to the relative po- sitions of the players at the baccarat table on the first night Of play, indicating them on a drawing which was placed before him as he went along. When he had given the order to change the table after the first night’s disclosures witness was ready to stake his life that the plaintiff had been guilty of cheating. Continuing, he said, “My mother and myself began play on the second night (Sept. 9, 1890), fully believing that the line which had been chalked on the table would prevent any farther at- tempts at cheating.” In reply to a question by Sir Edward Clarke witness answered that not a word had 11p to that time been said to the plaintiff about the matter. “What,” naively asked witness, “was my word against that of Sir William Gor- don Cumming?” The audience‘snickered, and across the serious face Of the plaintiff there passed the ghost of a smile at this tribute to his presumed honor and veracity. On the night in question (Sept. 9), and within twenty minutes from the opening of the game witness observed that Sir Wil- liam was again playing foul. He said that the plaintiff did not put his hand over the chalk line until he had assured himself that his (plaintiff’s) side had won. When he had made certain of this, plaintiff ‘moved over a tenner, thus dishonestly in- creasing his original stake of five pounds to fifteen pounds. Here witness was interrupted in his nar- rative by Sir Edward, who sharply and peremptoril y demanded why he had not at once exposed the fraud and denounced the perpetrator instead of waiting to talk the matter over with others. Witness re- plied that he had not done so because there were ladies present, and that under such circumstances it would have been an "‘ungentlemanly thing to have a row.” Witness admitted that he had continued staking his own money, and had permitted others to stake theirs after he had become certain that Sir William was cheating. At this point Lord Chief Justice Coleridge interposed a question which the witnessed answered by saying, “N 0 your lordship, I did not shaie' in the winnings of the plaintiff: " Showing His Teeth. Sir Edward, in the course of his examina- tion, unwittingly drew out- of young Wil- son the indiscreet admission that the Prince of Wales owned the counters which were brought to Tranby (Croft for use in the game of baccarat. They were a set car- ried about by the prince when visiting country houses. This unexpected disclosure caused a small sensation in the court room. Sir Edward Clarke hit his lips and hurried on as if to efluce the awkward impression it made. Those in court cast a. hasty glance at the prince and then looked at each other. The Prince of Wales was as com- posed as ever, and seemed to be unmoved by the incident and the attention it brought upon him. The fact that such was the practice of the prince has been known all along, and the action of the prosecution in bringing the matter up at this time is interpreted at meaning that the plaintiff has begun to show his teeuth, and that he is disinclined to further spare the Prince of Wales. It is, in fact, regarded as the first disclosure of Sir William’s purpose to be revenged on the prince for his part in this business. In answering the questions by Sir Ed- ward Clark which led up to the develop- ment in question young Wilson's manner was extremely nervous, and he flushed as he said that he had never before the even~ ing of the 8th of September used thoSe same counters, nor had he ever seen them before that time. - Witness, however, admitted that he knew to whom the counters belonged; they were the property of the Palace of Wales. Young Wilson Corrobonted. Young Wilson was here allowed to leave ' watching on that occasion. .visor and auditor of Kings county. I I the box, and Lieutenant Berkeley Levett, one of the baccarat players and a defend- ant to the suit, was called by the defense. Mr. Levett confirmed the testimony given by the preceding. witness, Mr. Arthur Stanley Wilson. When on the first night of the play Stanley Wilson told him to look out for himself, he did so, and as a result saw Sir William handle his count- ers, and after the banker (the Prince of Wales) declared a coup plaintiff added two more five pound counters to his stake, and was paid fifteen pounds. Subsquently, after three more coups, witness again saw Sir William add another five pound counter after the banker had declared the cards. It was then that witness had turned to Stanley Wilson and said “It’s too hot.” There had been, witness declared, no agreement to watch Sir William’s play on the second night (Sept. 9). ,, Witness, on the contrary, had purposely avoided 'Witness then testified that he was present at the inter- " view in which Mr. Lyatt Green made the statement to the Prince of Wales of what had been discov e1 ed. On that occasion the prince, turning to witness, said, “I be Iieve you too saw it?” To this :remark witness had replied: “Well, I am in an awkward position. We are in the same regiment, and he '(Sir William Gordon Cumming) was my captain.” VV'itness had faithfully kept the compact of secrecy. I Saw You Adding Counters. When the plaintiff had asked witness, “Could not you say you were mistaken?" the latter replied: “I would for your sake, and for the sake of the regiment; but Lycett Green won’t. I saw you adding counters.” ' As the witness made this most damag ing statement he appeared to be profound- ly agitated, while the now oppressive si- lence was broken by no other sound than that of Lieutenant Levett’s voice as in subdued and faltering tones he thus damned the reputation of his fellow sol- dier and late companion and friend. At no time during the progress of the trial has the attention of bench, bar and auditors been so painfully and impressive ly concentrated on a witness as it was upon the witness when he slowly pronounced the words, “I saw you adding counters.” Recovering himself, the witness said that at the request of the plaintiff he had consented to see their hostess, Mrs. Arthu1 Wilson, and ascertain what, if anything. could be done to save Sir William from a shameful exposure. Plaintiff again urged witness in the most pleading man- ner to do all that was possible to avoid the catastrophe which was impending. N OI content with this, plaintifif had subse quently writtenwitness reminding him 01 his promise to do all he could in his be- half. ' miter-ent from Cumming’s version. After receiving a letter from the plain- tiff’s lawy er threatening to bring the pres ent action for libel, vitness met Sir VVill- iam, who said that the affair was a desper- ate conspiracy (acharnc) against him. Witness replied that acharne had nothing to do with the matter - W'hen witness re- ferred to the receipt of aletter from Sir William’s lawyer, threatening the action for libel, the plaintiff responded that that matter would not be followed up. The cross examination of Lieutenant Levett developed nothing new of material importance and entirely failed to shake his direct testimony. The story of the proceedings at Cranby Croft, as related by Lieutenant Levett, were in startling con- trast to the version given by Sir William Gordon Cumming. Threatening Letters Received. Mr. Lycett Green, the son-in-law of Mrs. Arthur Wilson, and a parti defendant tc the suit, was sworn. Witness confirmed the testimony given by Mr. Arthur Stan- ley Wilson so far as it referred to his part in the matter at issue. Whis this witness was giving his testi- mony the foreman of the special jury handed up to Lord Chief Justice Coleridge a letter which had been sent to a juryman and which was couched in threatening and abusive language. Mr. Lycett Green, the witness. then turned toward the chief justice and said: “Your lordship, I have also received a let- ter of the same description as that which has just been handed up to you by the jury.” Resuming his testimony the witness graphically: described the events of the second night’s play at Tranby Croft, when he had distinctly seen the plaintiff push counters over the line when he (plaintiff) saw that the card had been favorably de- clured.

Two very important develop ments in the financial world worked at cross purposes on the stock market here. The favor- able development was the reduction of the Bank of England‘s rate of discount from 5 to 4 per cent. The unfavorable development was the reduction of the Rock Island‘s rate of divi- dend to )5 per cent. for the first quarter of the year, beginning April 1. This reduction was a great surprise. The statement showed that the last dividend was not entirely earned. The deficit for the year ending March 31, after the payment of 4 per cent. dividends, was $216,681. The weekly statement of the Bank of England showed an increase of $1,964,000 in bullion and $1,591,01X) in reserves. The proportion of the reserve to liability is now 44.35 against 40.00 a week ago. This is an astonishingly good state ment. The reduction of the bank‘s rate is even more significant, because it seems to Show that the bank managers do not anticipate any fur- ther heavy drains of gold. Rock Island was the feature of the morning. Twenty thousand shares were dealt in in the first few minutes. It closed yesterday at 76% and opened today at 74, selling down to 70% The rest of the mar- ket was fairly steady through the sustaining influence Of the foreign situation. Prices were somewhat irregular, and at noon were only slightly changed. Aside from Rock Island, St. Paul,.Louisville and Burlington were the most active. At the close the market was dull.
