HARD FATE OF A GALLANT FELLOW.
A last (Friaay) night's London cable
neves the following proceeding of the oourt
ma the baccarat one : Atter the moss.
Ittarnittatien of Alm. Wilson had been
linisbed the defence called Lord Coventry,
who with General Williams drew up the
inarimiesting document which wee Biped
by the plaintiff. Witness seated that when
net the evening of September 10kla Mr.
Ismiett Green made the communication to
him which was afterwards repeated in the
pregame a General Willie= and Mr. A.
Stanley Wilson he had felt, as those gen.
tlemen subeequently felt, that the Prinoe
et Wales, having long honored the plaintiff
with his friendship, they could not alleW
the Prinoe to Centiritte that friendehip
without putting him in posseasion of whet
they knew of Sir William's conduct during
the games of Sept. 8th and 9th.
Continuing, witness related the dream-
stanoes of the notorious interview with Sir
William. When witneas told plaintiff of
the nature of the accusation against him
tEe latter denounced it as "Wee" and
assertea the; it wag merely the statement
of a parcel of inexperienced boys who were
=entitled to belief. Subeequently the
plaintiff had seen the Prime in company
with the wienese and General Williams,
and had declared his innocence. To the
declaration ot Sir linilliemt the Prince sim-
ply responded, "There are five against
you." Witness had himself told Sir Win
liam that Mr. Lemett Green wished to
confront him, yet plaintiff lad failed to
express m nesire to meet this accuser.
THE HINT To GO.
Witnesa then said tnat when further
stipulated to depart from the Tranby Croft
residence early on the morning of the fol-
lowing day, the document was signed by
Sir William ander the oirouvastancee re-
lated and was later forwarded to the Prince
nf Wales.
The notebook of the witness we then
produced, and Sir Chutes proceeded to
read therefrom. It was found that Lord
Coventry's diary of events at Tranby Croft
agreed in every material respect with hie
testimony as given in court. General
Williams and himself submitted the psper
for the plaintiff to eigia. The lamer bed
said, "This is tantamount to ten sednaission
of guilt; I won't sign." To this witness
and General Williams replied, " That's so."
There was nothing in the sotdons of Sir
William on the occasion in question to sug-
gest that he had lost his head. After the
brief conversation related ebove witness
and Gen. Willimme, as friends of the plain-
tiff, advind him to sign the document
which they had submitted to him. Plain-
tiff thereupon eigned Hand a memorandum
set forth that the writer had been induced
to follow the course he had by a desire to
;avoid a scandal and keep the Prince of
Vales out of a disagreeable affair.
Here the defence rested its ease. Sir
Merles Russell rose to address the court.
Be referred satirically to the altered tone of
the prosecution Mace it had become familiar
with the dsmning evidence presented by
the defence. It we quite plain that the
plairteiff had all along hoped than the de-
lendants would admit that they had been
mistaken as to the intamons Marge here
brought against Sir 'William.
A .London cable says : There was no
fliminution in the attendance at the bso-
carat trial to -day, though muoh disappoint.
wee= we felt at the absence of the Prince
of Wales, who had gone to the Ascot races.
On the opening of the court Gen. Owen
Williams, one of the defendants, arose and
addressed the Lord Chief Justice, raying,
"My Lord, I lave to ask your protection.

Cumming is an inherent oportismen. The
Highland blood tingled in every vein. He
seemed a part of the forest and the moor.
He had dared the tiger in the jungle, the
elephsnt in the Indian foreste, and traced
the Rooky Mountains end the Mexican

has won fame as a pliant aoldier in the

WHAT THE PHESs SATS.
The Sun says it was really a second affair
of the diamond necklace, the accusation be-
ing of secondary importance to its surround-
ings. In our tadgment no other verdiot
was possible. G-ordon Ouramingns signing
the paper was damueble. It is a pity thas
the heir to the throne was at the baccarat
table. The Prince should show a Meanly
' life to his future enbjects. It is grotesque
to have the Prince carrying about baccarat
counters wherever he goes as a Mohan-
meden carries his praying =rent.
The Telegraph eulogizes the judgment of
the court and urges pity with condemna-
tion. It defends the Prince, although
regarding him as indescreen, but thinks a
generous world will forgive hien for signing
the paper of condonation.
The Chronicle (tandem= the jury's find.
ing and the partiality of Chief Junin
Coleridge, and says there is no evidence
inconsistent with the hypothems that
Cumming merely played the well-known
coup de trois. The Chronicle says that the
verdiot means, scoording to the jury, that
Cumming deliberately courted his illustri-
=a but impeounious friend by a trick re-
quiring long and tiresome years of praotin
to acgaire. Cumraing is not the first
loyal Soot made to feel the ban of the
Prince's ingratitude. The paper onkel what
steps will be taken to vinaleete natio° in
regard to the crime which the Prince com-
pounded by signing a compnot with Clam-
ming, or whether the saanclal will be for-
ever hushed up.
The Standard (Tory) says that if the
plaintiff comes firet out of the effeir it
must be admitted teat the defendants and
their friends are somembet tarnished.
The Times says the one is ended in the
only possible way that an impartial jury
believed possible. " We express the uni-
versal feeling of English rime and women
when we say we profoundly regret the con-
nection of the Prince of Wales with the
affair."
The Times almost wishes that the Prince
of Wales for the sake of English society
had oleo signed te declaration never to play
cards again.
SIr William Interviewed. .
"Well," he said, courteously, " what can
I do for you?"
"Aside from the fact Mat you are amid
to be engaged to an American girl, people
in the United States are taking the keenest
interest in your triel. Will you tell them
what you think of the verdict ?"
" Well," said Cumming, smiling with
good humor, "it was not,
o !coarse, what
I hoped for or expected, but you may say
that I attribute it entirely to the biased
and prejudiced stemming up of the
Lord Chief Justice. I have been
told on what I believe to be
good authority that Lord Coleridge inti -
meted to several people before the
trial that there was no doubt as to my
guilt. It looked bad also that the Prince
of Wales, who is bitterly boetile to me,
ehould lunch every day with the Chief
Justice. Does anybody believe that they
refrained from diem:teeing the case? Lest
night all my friends, after listening to
Clark's epeeoh, thought the verdict tnuet be
in my favor, but after the judge's trimming
up we loot all hope.
"Do you intend to move for a new
trial ?" asked the oorreetiondent.
0 I did think of it at fleet, solely on the
ground of the partiality of the jatige's
charge; but I don't think there is rnueb
chance of getting a now tend on that
ground, so I Mall probenly give tip the
idea."
"What have you to say reborn the evi•
denoe offered agaitset you 2"
"1 have nothing to add to Clark's
remarks about that. It wet obvious then
those witnessee had been thoroughly drilled
in their parts. 'What Sir Edward send was
perfeotly true. I was brn
eboozled into
signing that agreement sonny to goreen the
Prince of Wales. I was nada the nape -
goat to avoid a nandal."
" Whae are your plans for the future ? "
" Well, my first plan is to he married the
first thing tomorrow morning to Mies
Garner, of New York. After the cere-
mony we go to Scotland until we nil for

America September. When our visit
there is ended we Assn return to Semiarid
and settle down at my place, Abysm "
" Is not this marriage a enaden movG on

"No, not particularly. I have been
engaged to Mise Garner for some tirnP,
but when this Tranby drat business first
ostne up, I urged her to break off the eon
gagement. Two or three days ago she told
me she had not changed her determidetion
not to break off the marriage, and sad Met
was willing to marry immedietely after the
erial, whether the verdict WAS in my favor
or not. Whatever the jury decided it
would make no aifferenoe to her belief in
my innocence, so we are going to be mer.

The General then retired with an expres-

The Lord Chief Justice then began his
Slimming up of the evidenoe. It watt
noticed thronghoat that his charge was
favorable to the defendanta. The audience
listened with breathless attention to the
words of the address, upon the tenor of
which so muds depended. The court
expleined at length the differentiae between
an anion for slander such as this one, and
an action for libel. His Lordship entreated
*he jury to keep their minds steadily upon
the evidence. The extraneous matter
which had been brought into the arguments
of counsel mut be eliminated from the
minds of the jury in their consideration of
the facts.
The tone of his address seemed decidedly
in the plaintiff's favor. But when he pro-
ceeded to an analysis of the evidence given
by General Williams, Earl Coventry, and
the Prinoe of Wales, the effect was in the
nature of an endorsement of their testi-
mony. He dwelt at length upon Sir"Win
Ham Gordon Cumming's high position and
brave career, and described his visit to
Tranby Croft as an honored guest. Re.
furring to the insinuations against the
Prince of Wales, the Lord Chief Justice
earoastically observed, that while people
indulged in oritioisnis as a ohesp way of
gaining notoriety, it was noticeable that
they were all very much pleased to have
the Prinoe, Earl Coventry, and Lord This
and That at their bonne. (Langhter)
While the jury were out Sir William
Gordon Cumming showed no signs of
nervousness, and sat quietly reading some
letters. His friends, however, plainly
betrayed their apprehension. The defend-
ants were also uneasy and =elem. When
the verdict was announced Sir William
was marvellously cool. He was really, to
all outward appharancee, the most =inter.
ested spectator in wart. Lord Middleton,
hie relative, who is rerouted to have fur-
nished the money for the prosecution, was
quite the reverse. When the verdict of no
guilty was announced Sir William cooly
donned his coat and hat and strolled away
with Lord Middleton.
The charge of Lord Coleridge is regarded
se unneceesarily severe againat the plain.

sided without His Lordship throwing hie
personal interpretation into the wale
