THEY CHEAT AT BACCAK The Secret Is Out, Ho Bojalty Qam- ad at Tandy Court-1 he Prince of' Wales Was Banker. London, Jure 1. All :nter Jit centers to-dav in the ' accaJ;t trial. . The ej ds at the urt -ii-trance ar-( si as to re'i' ire n extra 'ii'i 'j . uojiceuient t&l have found it dilllcult to find their I way in. Not since the Tichborne trial has such a number of aristo cratic turnouts been seen in the vicinity of the court, aud gaping throngs stand about gazing at the armorial crests and wondering what share of the scandal the par ticular owner has had a hand in. There :s not the deep, intense feeling that showed itself at the time of the Tall Mall (ia.ette ex posures. The heir apparent entered the court shortly after 11 o'clock, ac companied by his private secre tary. The prince took a seat near Justice Colridge. The entrance of the 1'ii ice of Wales was the signal for court proceedings to commence. No sootier was the prince seated than the jury was sworn, and Chief Justice Coleridge, taking his seat on the bench and addressing Solicitor General Clarke, leading c.uneelfor plaintitl', said in sub stance that the Prince of Wales should be kept in court as short a time as possible. To this the solicitor general assented. Sir F. 1 ward Clarke, amid almost breathless silence, then opened the case for the plaintitl". He said the charge was a most serious one. He detailed the circumstances of the now famous card party at Tandy Court. Arthur Wilson's residence during the Doucaster meeting in September, lM',10. Bac carat, said the solicitor, had never before been played at TamlyCourt. it would be his duty, said the so licitor general, to out the Prince of Wales and General Owen Wil liams in the witnass box. Their testimony would satisfy the jury that they saw nothing wrong on the part of Cummings. The plaintitr said the Prince of Wales acted as banker upon the occasion referred to and that ( ien eral Williams was croupier. The plaintill' admitted that on the sec ond night of the bacarratt games at Trandy court the Prince of Wales said: "1 wish that the peopie would put their stakes where they could be seen;' but the plaintitl" added he did not think this applied to him more than any one else. The baronet also admitted that he kept a num ber of counters in his pocket. He said he had never ceased to regret that he signed the document agree ing never to play cards again. The plaiiit'll" admitted that within tientv-four hours after signing this document he received a letter from Lord Coventry and General Williams, saying there was no possibility of doing otherwise than to believe him guilty, as there were live people against one. He (Sir Charles Gordon dimming) signed the document in order to avoid scandal, which would neces sarily involve the Prince of Wales. Sir Williams also said that he should never touch another card, and expressed a wish that his win nings should be given to some hospital. KKSOI.VKI) TO IIE. A New Yorker Tried Three Times tu Suicide.

PiTTMUKu, June 1. Mol'ie Ilanlon, a pretty Pittsburg girl, will have a dread of ferries for the rest of her natural life. She at tended a Decoration dav picnic yesterday at McKee's Rocks and missed the 10 o'clock train for home. Two men voluuteered to row her across the Ohio to enable her to catch a Fort Wayne train. In the middle of the" river they decided to take tbe girl to Brunet'a island instead, a lonely isolated place. Mollie wept, and pleaded and offeied all her money valua bles to the whilom ferrymen. They refused to land her, and the frightened girl leaped into the river. The ruffians dragged her back, but sho again threw herself into the water and made a des perate dibit to drown herself.
