LONDON, June 3.-Interest in the
scandalous revelations being made in
connection with the Prince of Wales,
as ''banker'' at the game of cards where
cheating, it is alleged, was INDUCED in,
is undated; and on this, the third day
of the trial of this cause very much
celebre, the scenes outside Of the
queens bench division of her majeSty's
high court of justice in the law courts
on the Strand were again repeated, with
hardly any variation. The same inter-
est was manifested in the distinguished
arrivals at the court, and, to all appear
ances, the same crowd of fashionable
people, ladies still predominating, was
found inside the court, and the lunch
baskets and pocket TASKS were out in
stronger force than ever. In discussing
the trial, even the Prince of Wales
best friends are said to admit unwill-
ingly that the testimony he gave yester-
day was far from being of a nature to
reflect credit upon the future king of
England. Lady Coleridge, the wife of
the lord chief justice of the land, who
presides at the trial, occupied a seat on
the bench to the right of Lord Coloridge.
Russell. The Countess of Marlborough,
Lady Esher, and the reigning beauty
of England, Lady Brooke, sat immedi
ateIy behind Lady Coleridge and her
party. This presence of
Fashionable Ladies
on and about the bench with the presid-
ing judges wife, and he the lord chief
justice of England. is novelty IN Brit
ish trials which does not find favor
with some of the old, dignified big
wigs" The court was crowded long
before the official opening hour, among
the earlier arrivals being the ariSto-
cratic-looking plaintiff. who, eXquisltely
dressed, as usual, had no sooner reached
his lawyers side than he entered into
long and earnest conversation with
them, apparently trying to impress
some vital points upon them. From the
baronets manner, usually so cool and
calm, it was evident that something had
been said or done which had broken
through his crust of outward reserve
Arthur Wilson, in company with
Mr.. and Mrs. Lycett Greene and
Berkeley Levett, sat in front
of the seats assigned to their counsel,
Sir Charles Russell and others, and, as
was evident to the most casual OBJ
server, were vainly endeavoring to SIM
ulate an indifference to the proceedings
and surroundings which they were very
far from feeling in reality. They
seemed to be painfully conscious of the
fact that. whatever the outcome of the
trial, their position was far from being
All enviable one. Arthur Stanley Will
son made a capital witness and was in
| imitable. Very dramatic was young
Wilson's recitation of ali interview
which he says took place between him
self and young Berkeley Lovett. How
my dear chap" appealed to my dear
fellow" and ''old fellow stared
"backly" back at my dear chap" and
both agreed that this is too hot" All
this evidence and great deal more
young Wilson gave with dramatic tone
and gesture, cOnfidentially, as if acting
in charade.
