'THAT IS THE VERDICT REN-
DERED BY THE BACCARAT ;
JURY IN LONDON.'' '
SIR WILLIAM GORDON GUMMING
JHouiiri Guilty Instead of the Wilson
Fumily Incidents and Closing
Scenes of the Trial.
L03Uoy June P. The jury in the
iui'-ceara case returned a verdict
against Rir William Gordon Camming:.
Lord C hief Justice at the opening of
hi speech explained to the jury at
lacgt h the difference of an action for
.a'ander and this one which was an ao-
ition lor libel. His lordship added
-that if l ie jury found that the defen-
dants had spoken the truth then the
-verdict should be for the defendants
buc if nhe jury thought that thel
4jb.'irgea were not true and that Sir!
Vilivi.tn Gordon Cumming did not do I
anyihu g wrong in playing baccarat
At Truuby Croft then the verdict
must be for the plaintiff.
Lord Coleridge then entreated the
jury to keep their minds steady on the
evidence only.
Continuing the chief justice ana-
lyzed at length the evidence given by
the pla'ntiff which evidence he said
was wi .1 worthy of consideration. The
pl&iiitiif may he added have had his
polluters on the pile of white paper
ti(i would have been less likely to be
deleted If he had as the others did
put tlinr counters on the cloth of the
taljle. During another portion of his
.uiumiing up he said that the Prince
-if Wales' presence at Tanby Croft
w fumcient to explain Jjycett
.itf(?'d objection to creating a dis-
ut. a-j se in the baccarat room or
et-wMvin'-re bj calling attention to the
aoti.mn which he objected to on the
part oi Sir William Gordon Cumming.
"Sir Edward Clarke ' said Lord Col
nd;i "had said that the eye saw
what tlie eye expected and undoubt-
edly if the person had their minds
i-eV on certain things less proof was
eufUi itat to satisfy them than '-would
be ocherwise needed. But the ques-
i ion was as to whether in this case
-cho observation referred to would ap-
ti'.y. Sir Edward Clarke" the Lord
Caief Justice continued 'had com-
ments1 upon Berkeley Levett.s excla
iuatio:. "Good Godl Sir. William Gor-
don 1 J '..aiming caught cheating." But
he Mm losed that the remark had been
"Goi-ii Heavens! the arch bishop of
is ova Scotia the prelate of the order
ot lh iun caught selling and bib-
bim: Laughter. There would
Lav!) Heu nothing unlikely in such an
xi;lui)'.Mon.
Lc-ri Coleridge also called the at-
teDt.it -i of the jury to a particular ob-
servation which was made on behalf
of tt.o plaintiff during the course of
thij irul. It was to the effect that
there was more in the case than ap
rejn "J on the surface. Against this
the L -rd Chief Justice remarked:
"I !iiost emphatically protest. The
jury nM nothing to do with things
v hh'ii are not on the surface. :You
havi to confine yourelves to the
single issue and what you have heard
jrj(i v hat has been proved during the
trial.'1 ' '' ' ' !'''' '
W h ?n Lord.Uoleridge bad proceeded
thua far with his charge to the jury
thn hour of noon had arrived and the
'tiourt. as usual adjourned for
Juuoeon. '..! -
THE GEHERAL OPISIOK.
During the discussion which follow-
ed the remarks of the lord chief justice
thi "eneral opinion arrived at was the
t&i'e was made out against Sir Wm
r.d' Cumming although nothing
J .-owive had been said either way.
Win i t he chief justice defined the Jaw
of lib alas different from the law of
slander and when be gave special in-
struotlons in regaru iu mj """u"i
damage which Jle! jurv Should if
thev o 4esire- assess fnne event
tbe'v found for the plaintiff it wajrcori
i J J. ad that Lord .Coleridge's .In
Horvi'declde. ly favored Sir William
o-((on Cumming.
Bit when he analyzed the evi-
dent of the defendant and that of
Oi. Williams the Prince of Wales
and ord Coventry it was judged that
t -is :i was i effect an endorsement or
ihrtl evidence. In this connection
Lord Coleridge said that Sir William
lcir lon Cumming did not come there
to n ake a f ortuue and that his charac-
ter yould be sufficiently cleared by the
iury awarding him should the evi-
dence warrant a small amount of
di!')rde8Colefidge also described at
Jen' th the high position and brave
career of Sir William saying that the
-srwent to Tranby Croft as the
t-st and "if I might be permitted
tu ay it. as a sort of prize guest of
writhe hosted might be proud."
v:ter lunchon the lord chief justice
-e.v.med his summing up. While ad-
tviringthe impossibility of a man or
William's position auu wwvu
erii g himself to cheat and to cheat
hi friend the Prince of Wales too.
LORD COLBRIDGR '. . r
i ! ntrnr noiut f ?a"?tst the J'.ain-
l ncalliag ttw jiuj's attentwu to
his failure to face his accusers. Lord
Coleridge than said: "We have now
come a very point in my mind. I have
carefully searched for. but have been
nnable to find any corroboration of
the statement that Sir WiJUam Gor-
don Cauiuilhg was informed . of Mr.
Lycett Green's desire to be confronted
with him. If I am wrong" added the
lord chief justice turning to Sir Ed-
ward Clarke "I desire to be correct-
ed." - . :
Sir Edward Clarke for plaintiff at
once rose to his feet and said that
there was no evidence that Sir Will-
iam Gordon had been informed of Mr.
Green's desire to be confronted with
him (plaintiff).
Thereupon Sir Charles Russell for
the defendant promptly arose and
read from Gen. Williams' testimony
that the latter had said in court that
he had informed Sir William Gordon
Cumming of Lyoett Green's desire to
be confronted with him.
Lord Coleridge when both Sir
Charles and Sir Edward had said all
they wished to say on the above
point dwelt upon it his remarks not
being in favor of the plaintiff. When
the case was given to the jury every-
body seemed relieved.
THK JURY OCT.
During the few minutes the jury
was out the plaintiff sat quietly in his
usual seat and read a big batch of let-
ters in which he seemed much inter-
ested. Hi;i brother-in-law Lord Mid-
dleton and other friends who sat near
him were very nervous and showed it
in their actions and continuous hur-
ried whispering. The five defendants
were al.-o nervous and chatting in low
tones with their friends evidently be-
ing most anxious to hear the result
and to get away from the scene of
their seven days of terror.
When the clerk suddenly announced
the jury ready to report there was a
movement of surprise in the audience.
Then chatting was resumed again the
short absence of the jury being re
garded a decidedly unfavorable to
the plaintiff. Every lady may be said
to have been in a breathless state
when the jury entered the box look-
ing rather frightened and nervous.
After the clerk had polled the jury
the Lord Chief Justice addressing the
jury said:
"Gentleman of the jury have you
agreed upon a verdict?"
"Yes" almost whispered tiie fore-
man standing up and bowing.
"Is it for the plaintiff or for the de-
fendant?" asked the lord chief justice.
'For the defendants" answered the
foreman in a low voice. The an
nouncement was received with slight
hissing from galleries and where the
ladies congregated and upon the part
or some of tbose in tne ooay oi me
court. The court officers had some
difficulty for some time in suppressing
these marks of principally ieuiinin
disapprobation or the vermes iney
were however eventually suppressed
and the court room began to be va-
cated by the deeply . interested chat-
tinar audience. The curtain inav be
said to have been lowered over the
Tranby Croft drama.

Testimony Begun.
Pbarsall. Tex. June 9.r-Alfred
Allee boarded the south-bound Inter
national train at Dilley June 4 and a
few minutes later emerged with a
smoking pistol in his hand while
within the limp form of W. C. Bowen
drooped between the seats with his
life T blood spurting from ghastly
wounds in the head. There occurred
another of a series of tragedies which
within the last ten years has given
the immediate seotion an unhappy
reputation. Fully abreast of the state
in very other plan of development.
LaSalle Frio and contiguous counties
seem' to still retain an unhappy char-
acteristic of the Texas of old the
previlanee of thievery and an inevita-
ble per oent of Incidental homicides.
This limit of lawlessness became
pronounced when the native cow boy
first beheld a barbed wire fenceen join-
ing tfis cows to keep off other people's
grass It.was manifest in fence cut-
ting excitement and since in a nuinbtr
of tragedies not necessary to recall and
more perhaps that never oaiue to
light It wa warring on this element
that the gallant Captain Charlie Mo-
Kinney was assassinated for which it
will be remembered the desperado Jim
McCoy was banged in Sail Antonio.
Since McKnney's day the rangers have
operated with more or less effectiveness
. . . 1 j.1 .. . ! .1
in tnese counties ana mrouxu tueir
efforts only at the last term of the dis-
Uriot court there was a large batch ef
citizens sentenced to terms in tne pan
for thett of Btock.
As intent be expected the better ele
nieut have become exasperated and
are well men ready for a war oi exter
inioatfon. : It was this feeling of the
community that finally led to the kill
ing of Editor W. C. Bowen of the Co
tulla . Ledger by Alfred T. Allee.
Bowen has freely lwarred upon the
cattle thieves and gone so 'far as to
declare the local authorties impotent
and useless. . For some reason he
sought in his paper to identify Alle
who he seemed to disliked with the
lawless element although Allee has
been an efficient peace officer' up to a
recent date and ifa ranchman of good
standing and has suffered as much from
thieving perhaps as any man In the i
county. : .
This earned bad feeling which re
sulted in r the tragedy. The promi-
nence of the parties lent much interest
to the preliminary trial of Allee today
together with the fact that as yet the
true version of the tragedy has not
been developed. Allee has been in
jail heresinee his surrender.
: On the'dayof the killing J. W. Lyon
who accompanied and is . jointly
charged with the murder was cap
turea on tne sixtn inst. py vjaptaiu
Brooks' rangers while Lyons waa pre
paring breakfast at the ranch of Will
Jacobs on the Cibol6 thirty miles from
here." ' ' ' '''''
The preliminary bearing was begurn
to lay before Judge Dome with County
Attorney Spain representing the State
and John A. Green jr.C. H. May field
of San Antouio and Mason Manly
of Pearsail as attorneys for the defend-
ants. Allee and Lyons are beiog ex
aiuined joidtly and both wer kindly
greeted by! many friends in the larga
audience that wai present W.v J.

witness called by the state. He said
he lived in La Salle connty 'and knew
Allee the defendant by sight but didn't
kuow Lyons. He was a passenger on
the south bound International and
Great Northern train June' 4 1891.
and saw Allee on board the train at
Dilley: The witness knew W. C. and
W. JJ Bowen who were on the train.
Witness saton the east or left hand
side about the middle. He thought
the Bowens were sitting on.Jthe . west
side of ihel oar about two se its behind
him. When Witness firs saw AHee
coming into The car theie wa a man
following behind him whom witness
did not know but that he would agate
recognize.;; The man he saw was with
Allee and he c mid not say that he saw
him in the court room. Witness did
not see Allee until the latter was
within three or four 'seats
of witness coining down the aisle
He could not say that Allee was
amed as he saw no pistol upon the
defendant or upon any other person.
Shortly after that be heard pistol
shots in the car. Witness did not see
! who nred the shots as tney. were
behind him. He did not turn around

saw Allee going out of the car with

saw W. J. Bowen come past him
walking down the aisle. Bowen said
he was bleeding to ueatn.. t -..

ness came out and together they took
off Bo wen's coat and tied a handker

tleman came in and Bowen was theu

not hear W.; J. Bowen say anything
except that he Was . bleedlnar to death
beyond a mention tnat ne aia not care
for his watch it being in the way of
the ministrations to his wound. '
Witness thought the two Bowens
occupied the same seat. The seats
near tne Bowens on tne same siae were
unocoupied. A lady sitting near got

Crotf-examined by the defense
Miller said th it the first shot that was
fired greatly frightened him so much
so that he knew little of what hap
pened except that he took care or his
children until he returned from the
sleener. He saw Sam Johnson iu the
car shortly before the shooting and
shortly afterward witness said tne
bowens occupied two seat? turneu
down niacin? their baggage on the
seat in front of them. There was a
large satchel two bundles and a bas-
ket larze enough to fill th9 seat. He
did not see the satchel after the
shooting but did not examine for it.
He did not see or hear a ball strike
jmt over him.
...... . A . . t i Jt
He sat still during tne snooting; um
not pretend to know what happened
simultaneously with the shooting but
his testimony was with reference to
before and alter; had seen Allee as the
latter passed him. but did not remem
ber whether Allee shook hands or
SDoke to any one. Saw nothing pecu
liar or unusual in Allee's m inner or
anv weapon about him.
Nothing materially wais developed
upon oroM-exaniiuation. of .' this wit
ness.:. ... '. ''.' ;
Thomas Hume trainmaster on the
I. & G. N. railroad was next called
and testified that he knew A. G. Allee
and saw him on the train that day.at
Dilley but could not siy that there
was anyone with him. ' He saw
the dead arm between
the - seats. with several
woqnds in his head bleeding very badly
and gasping for bapath. The con
ductor then came to witness and asked
if it would not be better to hurry the
train on to Cotulla for surgical assist-
ance. Witness told the conductor to
do so.1 As the train was leaving wit-
ness saw Allee and two other parties
out on the ground about 150 feet from
the train; did not recognize tho two
parties with Allee; who were walking
toward the train. Witness saw a re-
volver in Allee's hand. At the time
there were five or six shots fired; had
examined the coach and had found
about a dozen holes In the coach one
bulletin some instances making sev-
eral hole through the seat backs.
Witness said the bullet holes in the
seat appeared to have been fired in
one direction in a down ward... range.
Witness found one bullet bole nearly
in the center on the head lining on
thdeastsldof the' oar. This bullet
hole was about three seats' toward the
front end of the oar from where the'
deceased sat and appeared to have
been fired from that direction. He
did not know how many wounds there
were on Bowens . body bat thougnt
he saw one ot two over the eyes. The
firing was in auick succession: could
not tell by the holes in the plush
cushions whether all the bails were of
the same size or not. .
'AU the. balls did not cut the same
seat back but there were several bul
let holes through the two seat oaoKB
in front of the Bowens' and others en
tered the seats back of them. All the
bullets in the back of the Bowen seat
appeared to naive vome from the same
direction i upon cross eiuiiunnuu
witness could not say that Allee was
armed as witness saw no arms. At
this point the court aajournea udhi
