Lonnoir, June 5. [Associated Press,
Copyrightd, 1801.]— The baccarat revela
tions have stirred to the very depth the
whole religious world. The news that the
Prince of Wales is a habitual gambler,
taking supplies of cards and counters
wherever he goee, lu» blasted every
chance of the natioft granting him relief
from his debts. The leading Baptist organ
compared the prince's taste for the race
course and gambling with the noble ex
ample of his father, who. if living, would
share in the intense grief of thousands of
Englishmen.
Losno*, June 5.—A1l the exhibitions,
theaters, musical entertainments and such
other attractions have been fully eclipsed
and shadowed into almost complete
neglect by the interest which has been
taken in the great baccarat show which
has been presented throughout the week at
the queen's bench division of her majesty's
high court of justice. The court has been
crowded daily with "smartest" London,
those who were able to secure the neces
sary "season tickets," and the familiar
criticisms of English newspapers to the
effect that there is considerable lack of
dignity in United States courts
has been so weakened that they
should never again be renewed in
sight of the fashionable display, luncheon
exhibitions and other scenes witnessed
during the progress of the baccarat case.
Lady Coleridge, wife of the lord ohief
justice, has been seen each day seated on
the bench at the right hand of her hus
band entertaining her numerous circle of
friends, laughing and talking when she
had not been writing notes for her hus
band and sending them around the court
with the same freedom as if she bad been
at a garden party. Sir Charles Russell
was obliged more than once to suspend
his examination of witnesses on account
of the lack of decorum displayed in the
court.
In this, the fifth day of the trial of the
famous baccarat scandal, there was a
repetition of the scene* witnessed during
the previous days. The cross-examination
of Mrs. Lycett Green was resumed. Sir
Edward Clarke had the young lady go all
over the ground covered yesterday after
noon.
After some further questions, Mrs.
Arthur Wilson, the mother of Arthur
Stanley Wilson, was called to the stand.
Mrs. Wilson said that she was pres
ent at Tr an by croft in the room where
bapoorftt was being i on September &
She distinctly recalled her son Arthur
looking at her with a puzzled expression
on his face, and that he afterwards made a
horrible communication to her. It was to
the effect that he had seen the plaintiff,
Cumming, cheat while playing at cards.
The witness then repeated" in detail the
evidence which had already been given as
to the manner in which the baronet
cheated.
Mrs. Wilson, when asked by Sir Charles
Rassell, as to whether she had seen Cum
ming cheat, replied with great emotion:
"Yes, unfortunately; there is no doubt
about it."
Mrs. Wilson was most emphatic in her
declaimers that there had been any agree
ment entered into by the Wilson family to
watch the plaintiils play on the second
nieht (September 9) at baccarat Mrs.
Wilson said that when her son told her
the plaintiff had been cheating she said:
"Oh, you must not speak of it; we must
not have a scandal in our house." During
the second evening's play witness did
not notice anything until she received a
note from her son-in-law, Lycett Green, in
forming her of the facts discovered. Mrs.
Wilson added that she recollected the
plaintiff asking and having an extra £lO
paid him for a £lO counterfeit which
he claimed had not been noticed by
the Prince of Wales, and that the prince
in annoyance told the plaintiff to place
his stakes where they could be seen. Re
ferring to another occasion, Mrs. Wilson
said that she saw the plaintiff push an ex
tra £lO counter over the line. Mrs. Wilson
said that she had an interview with the
Prince of Wales on the subject on the fol
lowing day, and that she expressed fears
that her son, Arthur Stanley Wilson,
would suffer from the after effects of what
had occurred, owing to the fact that he
was the tirst person to notice and call at
tention to the cheating; but, she said, the
prince told her that there was no need for
her to fear anything of the kind. Prom
September 10 until the legal proceedings
were commenced, Mrs. Wilson, continued
she said absolutely nothing to anybody
outside of those of her own family who
were already acquainted with the facts re
garding the scandal.
Mrs. Wilson was then turned over to
Sir Edward Clarke for cross-examination.
In reply to his question, she said that she
bad not signed a paper pledging herself to
secrecy. Mrs. Wilson admitted that the
Prince of Wales bad asked her not to say
anything abont the affair. Answering
other questions pnt to her by the leading
counsel for plaintiff, Mrs. Wilson said that
on the night of September 8 the Prince of
Wales asked her if it was not possible to
provide a proper baccarat table for the
night following this. Mrs. Wilson ex
plained that this was before the prince
knew anything of the alleged cheating
upon the part of Cum ruing, consequently,
for the secoud night's play, a fresh table
was provided, but this was not done on
account of Sir William Cumming, though
it was hoped its use would prevent the oc
currence of the event* of the previous
night.
Witness' husband, Arthur Wilson, she
continued, objected to baccarat playing be
cause in his opinion the play might be
come high among "hot-headed boys."
Laughter.] On previous occasions, she
con'inued, thf sum of £SOO had got into
the bank, which amount her husband
ihoaght too large.
"Why did you not tell the Prince of
Wales your husband objected to baccarat ?"
asked Clarke.
"Because," replied Mrs. Wilson, "we
were such a staid, non-gambling party
hat we did not think there could be much
arm resulting from a few quiet games at
■accarat."
Mrs. Wilson at another atage of her
■oaa-exami nation admitted that £ls was
the highest stake which the saw played on
the table during the two evenings, and she
did not think anybody staked even that
amount till her husband did so during the
second night's play.
Lord Coventry followed Mrs. Arthur
Wilson into the witness box. His testi
mony covered that gone over by the other
witnesses. Lord Coventry said that Gen
eral Williams and he had told the plaintiff,
after the accusations of cheating had been
made, that Lycett Green and one of the
gentlemen who had witnessed the acts
complained of had announced a desire to
be confronted with Sir William, "but,"
added witness slowly, "plaintiff did not
express any desire to meet Mr. Green or to
be confronted with his accusers." The
earl produced a notebook in which he had
entered memoranda of the principal
events which took place at Tranbycroft
in September last. Sir Charles Russell
read the entry referring to the baccarat
scandal which had been made by Lord
Coventry. It was soon seen that the ac
count in the book agreed in all the main
particulars with the evidence already pre
sented upon behalf of the defendant. The
memoranda closed with the words: "I
was induced to recommend this course in
order to avoid scandal and in order to keep
the Prince of Wales out of it. I consid
ered that I had done my duty to society so
far as the case permitted, by insisting
that the accused should never play cards
again." This concluded the case for the
defense, and Sir Charles Russell, in behalf
of the defense, addressed the jury,
Sir Charles severely scored Sir William
Gordon Cumming. He asked how plaintiff's
conduct could possibly be considered con
sistent with innocence. The defendants,
he said, had been blamed for not at once
publicly exposing Sir William Gordon
Camming if he wes really detected in
cheating. But the jury would admit that
it was too much to suggest that men
honorably believing themselves to be act
ing as plaintiffs friends should be treated
as coming into court and not believing
him guilty, because they did not issue
against him the unmerciful edict of irre
vocable condemnation. Could any
thing be imputed to the witnesses to
justify the assumption that they were
not credible. He had not known in his
experience five witnesses who gave such
concurrent evidence, which was so abso
lutely untouched by cross-examination.
At the conclusion of his address the court
adjourned till next Monday.
CARDIFF, June s.— The Methodists of
Bouth Wales today adopted a resolution
expressing regret at hearing that the
Prince of Wales took part in games of bac
carat at Tranbycroft. It adds:
We respectfully submit to his royal highness
that by his conduct he offends the religious
sense of the people and drags the royal house
from the high position In which it stoo<\ and
tends to lesson the loving and devoted affection
for the throne which has ever been cherished
by us.
Miss Gardner Is Fortunate.
LOSDOS, June s.— ln an interview today

month, was taken into court at Car
narvon for examination today. The quar
ryman who saw Duncan bending over his
wife among the rocks and holding a stone
in his hand told his story, and Dr. Jones,
who attended Mrs. Duncan, swore today
that when he expressed doubts of Dun
can's story Duncan took him aside and
said: "Idid it myself with the stone,
which you have seen. God forgive me, I
did not know what I was doing.
Three months ago I was worth
$50,000, and now I have lost all.
I saw nothing before me but poverty for
myself and wife. Indeed, I went to
Llandudno and hired a boat with the in
tention ot taking both our lives by drown
ing, but failed to do so." Duncan pleaded
not guilty, and was formally committed.

Spokas*, June s.—Passengers in from
Coulee City bring particulars of a double
murder near Waterville, Wednesday.
Four brothers, named Tonßremen,
Germans, young men and unmarried, oc
cupied two homesteads fifteen miles
northwest of Waterville, on the Columbia
river. Two of the brothers had lately
arrived from Germany. The murderer
was named Jake. He committed the crime
with a shotgun, and is still at large. The
remaining brother, who can speak very
little English, carried the news to a neigh
bor, who rode that night to Waterville.
The sheriff left at midnight with a posse
in pursuit of the murderer, but so far
nothing further has been learned from
the scene.
John and Jake had been on bad terms
for some time, and would have nothing to
do with each other. The partition of their
stock had been one cause of contention.
Peter, the surviving brother, said that
Henry was plowing and had in his team a
horse which belonged to Jake. The latter
came after his horse and a quarrel ensued,
during which John rode up on his horse.
Peter, who was not far away, heard a
number of shots fired, and went up
to see what was the matter. He
found two of his brothers dead and
the third standing near. Jake told
Peter that he had killed his brothers and
was going away never to return, and di
rected him to go and tell Mr. Downey of
the affair. The murderer then mounted
his brother John's horse and rode away.
A shotgun and revolver were left on the
ground. Both belonged to Jake. Every
barrel of each weapon had been discharged.
Jake's horse came back Thursday morn
ing. and his brother thinks he has com
mitted suicide. It is learned that Jake
was wounded when he left.
MOODYYILLB MILL FBOPIBTT SOLD
The Parehaser an English Syndicate
Which Will Improve the Property.
VAHcocT*R,B.C.,Junes.—[Special. J—The
sale of the Moodyville Baw Mill Company's
property to a foreign syndicate of wealthy
capitalists has been completed and a heavy
deposit made as representing the good
faith of the parties who have made the
purchase. The transfer takes place on
July 1, when the new owners in ad
addition to assuming control of this very
valuable property, will enlarge the cutting
capacity of the mill to more than double
the present output. The property will be
cleared and laid out into city lots. Suffi
cient, however, will be retained for the
actual requirements of the company in
connection with its manufacturing and
shipping business. Other industries be
sides the saw mills are to be located there,
of which fuller particulars will be made
known hereafter.
The consideration paid for the property
is 11,000,000. It embraces the mills and
some 400 acres surrounding the village,
about 6,000 acres of timber and prairie land
on Mud bay, several hundred acres of land
across the inlet from this city, and leases
covering timber limits which will supply
the mills with logs for the next fifty years,
if double its present capacity. The prop
erty has a shore frontage on the
inlet of about four miles, affording
unrivaled shipping advantages. Amongst
the names of the purchasers are those of
Rothschilds and other well-known London
capitalists who are determined to make
their estate a valuable one by establishing
industries, building streets, operating
electric tramways, ferries and railways in
that locality, which is now certain to be
come a very important suburb of Van
couver, it being to this city what Brooklyn
is to New York, Birkenhead to Liverpool
or Kirkland to Seattle.
THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Counsel for Defense Admits That Com
mission Was Not Legally Appointed.
• TACOHA, June s.— [Special.]—Argument
in the site mandamus proceedings was
continued today in the superior court, At
torney Graves, for the defense, admitting
tacitly that the commission was not le
gally appointed, but that they voted as de
facto officers of the state, and that their
acts in locating the site at Pullman was as
valid as if they had been properly ap
pointed.
Mr. Snively, for the plaintiffs, held in
his opening "argument that any man or
body of men appointed by the legislature
to do a single act, at the conclusion of
which, his or their existence in
authority would cease, were not in
legal acceptance officers, and could not be
considered such de facto or any other way.
He held that the federal congress delegates
to the legislature hid not the right to
select a site, and that the legislature's act
in delegating this power was illegal. Al
though a commission could be appointed
to select a site, its selection would have to
be approved by the legislature before be
coming legal and binding.
The argument will be continued tomor
row. Judge Campbell will probably take
a week in which to prepare a decision in
the matter.
A YOUNG WIDOW ARRESTED.
Charged With Murdering Her Baby at
EMenthorg.
ELLiasßraQ, June s.—[Special.]—Last

dressmaker here, at Toppenish, a small
station east of here. This is a result of in
vestigation of the case of a dead baby
which had been murdered and was found
in the bushes below town a few days ago.
The woman was brought here and lodged

She is young and prepossessing, and
claims to know nothing of the crime. The
officers say her guiit is almost conclusive.
A hearin? will take place tomorrow. A
well-known married man is implicated.

he would shoot. Minto advanced and
McMahon shot, the ball passing through

SPOKAK*, June s.— [Special.]—The first
through west-bound passenger train to
pass tnrough this city since Wednesday
arrived this morning. A local train made
up at Helena came throngh about noon
yesterday. The cause of the delay was a
destructive washout which occurred on
the Yellowstone division of the road Tues

cannot be obtained from officials of the
road in the city. The train today came
through in sections, which were jammed
and crowded with belated and growling
passengers.
A Walla Walla Man Disappears*
WALLA WALLA, June s.—[Special. ]—Ed
ward J. Seaton, bookkeeper in Chnrles H.
Dodd & Co.'s agricultural house in this
city, has mysteriously disappeared. This
morning when Richard Smitten, the man
ager, went to the housu ha waa informed
that Seaton had not bee* around. Think
ing he might be ill, no attention was paid
to the matter until noon, when Smitten
concluded to go to Seaton's room. Upon
entering the room Mr. Smitten found that
the bed had not been occupied during the
night. He then went to the restaurant
where Seaton had been taking his meals,
but Seaton had neither been to breakfast
nor lunch. There is no reason why Seaton
should go away, as the books are all right.
Seaton bad been sligntly ill for several
months and has been taking a great deal
of medicine, and it is supposed has sud
denly become slightly deranged in mind,
and while in that state wandered away.
