LONDON, June 9.-The jury In
the baccaFat trial today returned a
verdict against the plaintiff, Sir
William Gordon Cumming.
The Prince of Wales was not
present this morning. The lord
chief justice had hardly taken his
seat when Gen. Owen Williams
stepped to the front of the bench
and said, his face pale and his voice
husky: "My lord, Ihave to ask
your protection. Yesterday Sir Ed.
ward Clarke thought proper here
Solicitor General Sir Edward Clarke
sprang to his feet and exclaimed, 81
ask your lordship to interfere, and
that Gen. Williams should not be
allowed to make a statement, as he
has not the privilege of doing So"
To this Gen. Williams hotly replied:
81 was accused of an abominable
charge'- here the chief justice inter-
fered, saying 81 do not remember the
expression but | do not think you
can be allowed to speak" But
General Williams persisted in being
heard, Lord Coleridge interrupted
the general remarking with consid-
erable warmth ~ cannot hear any
statement from you and Immediately
commenced his summing up, while
General Williams retired frowning
and greatly discontented.
The announcement of the verdict
for the defendant was received with
kissing from the galleries where the
ladies were cougregated and upon
the part of some of those IN the
body of the court who were in sym.
pathy with the plaintiff. Court
officers had some difficulty in sup
pressing these marks Of principally
feminine disapprobation of verdict.
