N SIXNTEENTH YEAR, OMAHA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NUMBER 28, HOW SHE STOOPED T0 FOLLY, Mra, Orawford Tells of Her Sacrifice of Wifely Honor, THE FOURTH ACT IN THE DRAMA. The Fair But Frail Witness Relates the Story of Her Love and Desertion by Sir Charles ~Incidents, The Dilke Disgrace. Loxnos, July [New York Cable.—Special to the Bre.]—The in any drama grows usually more intense on reaching the fourth act, The Crawford case on its fourth hearing to-lay wns 1o exception to that rule. The outside interest in the case was greater than ever. Guineas were vainly offered for admission, and even barristers waited half an liour on the chance that by some contrere coming ont they cound get his seat, The proceedings ineluded the breaking down of Mrs. Rogerson on cross examination and a severe snub to the queen’s proetor by the judge, because he put bungling questions. There was some SCANDALOUS KEY-HOLE EVIDENCE. Of a suspicious character, an alibi from Lady Dilke in favor of her husband as to the fateful 6th of May, and finally the aebut of the fair, At frail, defendant in the witness box. When Lady Dilke passed toward the judee, she and Mrs. Crawford for an instant exchanged glances, in which curiosity and repulsion were indeseribably mixed. ‘Then one retired and the other took her place. Lady Dilke wore a summer light lavender dress and an airy bonnet, trimmed to correspond, Mrs. Crawford wore the same dre previously de- Reribed, which she wears aaily, ‘The former Iady looked like an exacting matron, strong- willed and bound to win when she goes in, Mrs. Crawford looked like a FRAGILE, SILLY GIRL, easily to be blown about by the breezes of cir- cumstances, Her figure is plump, suggest- ing pleasant partnership in the waltz. Lady Dilke gave her evidence like a belle de joie. Mrs. Crawford’s answers seemed to trickle like falling water from a modest foun tain. She certainly looked rather to favor the theory that she is as fragile in morals, In a worlily sense, as in appearance, rather than the Dilke theory that she is an artful, designing and treacherous woman., While testirying she looked modestly down, her COLOR CAME AND WENT, her whole manner seeming to s “I'm here to make a clean breast of it.” Sir Charles never removed his gaze from her face, but she never seemed to meet his eyes, nor those of Captain Foster, who wore an insouciant look throughout. He is of medium height, with a tanned, soldierly face, is getting bald, and has a blonde, military moustache, which is much fondled, looking more like a BIUISER THAN LOTHARIO, The “Helen” who caused this seige of the legal temple had not testitied many minutes before the jurors began to look as if wonder- ing who would aid thein to unravel the web of perjury on one side or the other. When- ever Sir Charles and his houschold had tired negative buliets, as it were, into the jury target, she followed, topping them with aflirmative shots. Being a witness called by the committee, Sir Henry Jawmes introduced her story thus: “Are you willing to give evidenes now?” “Yes, my lord.” “You have heard the evidence which your husband @ on the last oceasion, when he said you made a confession to him “Yes, my lord,” “It is true you made that statement?” St is, my lord.” SIIE ACKNOWLEDGE! *“T'hen is it true or not that you committed adultery with Sir Charles Dilke?” “It is true, my lord,” The Judge—*Now, Mr, Matthews. you can putany further question to her that you may see fit.” Her husband’s counsel then took upthe run- ningthus: *1 understand you were married in the latter part or 18512” “In July, 1831, “How old were you then?” “Kighteen.” “Did you see § “Yes; after Lw Held interest r Charles Dilke that year?” as married,” s hotel.” “When your husband was not present?”’ “He was not.” ‘What took place on that occasion?” ir Charles made love to me.” *When had you last seen him before?” “I saw Sir Charles before I was married,” “At your mother's house?” es.” “What more did he do besides making love to you during the interview at Barley’s hotel?” “He kissed me, and sald you will come and see me us 5001 as you come back to London, He stayed there about an hour,”” “What time of day was it?” “About half past eleven in the morning.” ASMAMMA'S LOVER, Jharles say anything about your- self in connection with your mother?" “He said 1 was very like her and that was why he took a faney to me.” Upon the subject of Dilke's sudden love- making by the 1na’s lover to a bride, her daughter, the proctor’s cross-examination elicited this: “When, two mouths after your marriage, he made love to you, did you resent it “Ldidnot. He said I need not mind be- cause of his connection with the family and that iv was all rignt.” HE KISSED JER. n by making love to “Do you mean to say it was behavior that might take plece between a respectable man and woman?” “No, I don't think it was,” “Did you permit it?” es, 1 did.” “You saw nothing more of him until the following February?’ o “And as soon as you eame to town in Feb- ruary he called upon you?" “Yes, Idon't remember any appointment being made for his ealling. Me could easily hear of my return to town.” *DId you not expect that he would con- tinue to make love to you when he called?” “1 did not know.” SHE NEVER TOLD 1IER LOVE. “Did you tell your hustand what bappened at the Barley hotel?? “No.” “Did you take any precautions to pre him calling?” NP “And when he did come was it on the first occasion that he made the arangemont for Kkoing to Warren street?” B Yes “Did you understand him to mean that you were to go to Wairen streel to be wronged by him?®’ “Yes, [ understood him to wean that,” “And you went ressing from him “Yeu.” lut any interview or 2 SIGNIFICANCE OF IT. The significance of some of this is best seen by rememberingz how Dilke declined to answer whether he was ever her mother's lover, or by referring to what her evidence Inter in the day when tuis occurred about the anonymous letter: “Do you still think they writing of your wother?” “Ithink that the tirst two woere,” When was it Sir Charles told you he had been your mother's lover? On one of those oceasions when you met him for purposes of adultery?” “Hetold me so by degress, I kiew he hal been an friend for years,"” “It was not talked of in your family?" “Yes, It was more or less known, but was not a subject we were likely to discuss.”” “Did you tell your husband about it?* “Yes: or rather, I fmplied it to him. not think I told him so positively. more or Jess knew it,”” THE CONFESSION Mrs. Crawtord then naively prattled off the confessions she mace last winter, Of course, she went to-day more into details, At these once or twice I thought 1 saw even the ve eran divoree judges blush, These na of how she sent her hus! breakfast time to yet join him there tor din- ner, meanwhile for the first time, SACRIFICING ITER WIFELY HHONOR to Dilke: how she took a cab at her own liouse, dismissing that, and took another to his alleged private bagnios how she was ad- mitted and how let out: how she afterward visited his iouse, and how the spider hat on lis head and the gloves on his hand came were all in the and the fourth Of course, intimate I do We all VIEWED. web-footed out to the door and took his poor fly noiselessly to his apartments; how, when Dilke drove to call on her, she made the venetian blinds and painted wire sereen meet, excluding the garish light of day; how she passed two whole nights in his house, with “Fauny;” on oneoccaslon, as_companions, both; how he carefully avoided writing letters to her, and how during two years she thus played the role of Theodora, without claiming the latter's craft. THE CROS: The cross-examin put, thus: “Did Dilke ever mention a person named Fanny?” “Yes: in the summer of 1853 he first men- tioned her.” What did he say?” “She was a girl who used to spend the night at his house, that she was very nice and XAMINATION. ion about Fanny was of my age. He asked would I like to see her at his house. I said I would not like to see her at all. He sald she was supposed to be in his service, He said he got hold of ;her through Sarah. She was let in by Sarair every night and let outin the morning.” “Tell us the circumstances under which you first saw her.” “One day, when I was at Dilke's house speaking to him in the blue room, he said, ‘she is in the house. Then he asked if I would see her. I said 1did not. Then we went up stairs, and after we had been in his bed-room he brougiit Fanny in.” “Was she dressed or undressed?” THE TESTIMONY TOO TOUGH. “I do not think it is necessary that I should o through all this.” *Very well; L will notask you. blck to the room she eame from?” ““Yes, I saw her again in the sprine of 1884 when we came back to London. He called her into the room. Hetold me 1 was very silly not to like her. Shestayed in the roowm,” “Were you all three together?” “Year “And she helped you to dress?” “Yes; and Sarah let me out afterwards,” “Had you any conversation with Fanuy?” “She told me very much what Sir Charles limself had told me about her.

For the first time in the trial, Phillimore showed the adroitness of an advocate. e wormed from her that she murried to escape unhappiness at howe, only to find it worse with a husband twenty years her senfor; how she learned to love Dilke, but when he thought it best to part, she had to love somebody, and then learned to like Foster though knowing he was engaged to be mar- ried, She admits laying an anonymous letter which came by post so her husband shouid see it, and that DIVORCE WAS WELCOME TO TIER, This testimony, of course, went far to show the proctor's theory of collusion. Whenever the judze or either side of the counsel questioned her it seemed to be kindly, yet with that kindness described by N. P. Willi ‘He hooked me kindly, as a fisher ooks a worm, pitying it the while,” The proctor's examination continues to- morrow. As the case now stands it looks as if the jury were likely to find against the de- cree, At least the evidonce makes it a drawn game, and outside of the confessions, which are largely contradicted, foreshadows collu- sion. There is not proof yet which will give the husband his frecdom. — “Beckett in the Woods." | New York Herald Cable—-Speclal to the Beg. —LoxNDON, July 20.~Tenuvscn's “Beckett” was yesterday afternoon played vastorally in the Sylvah valley woods near Wimbledon, A curtain was fastened by rings around two poles, they fell to the ground at the sound of a bell and revealed a fe shut In on each side by trees through which wooded defiles served for the entry and exit of the various characters, Lady Archibald Campbell was the “Fair Rosamond,” Mac tho eardinal, and Queen Eleanor was to Genevieve Ward, her ouly appearan Ais season in London, She displayed great power and nade of the Queen & pleturesque, jm- pressive, stately and fateful i ‘The l-nm-c nd prineess of Walos wera among he distliguished audience.

Other Changes Made and a Confer- ence With the House Ordered— Ingalls rets His Speech —Other Legistation. The Senate's Proceedings. WASHINGTON, July 20.—The chale pre- sented resolutions of the constitutional con- vention of Dakota, praying for the admis- sion of South Dakota as a state and for a ter- ritorial government for North Dakota. Re- ferred to the committee on territories, Mr. Miller presented a memorial of the Evangelical Alliance of the” United Siates, referring to the recent outrages and massa- cres of Chinawen on the Pacilic coast, with a letter from a branch of the Alliance in China, setting forth the injurious effect of tnese out- rages on Americans and Christians in the Chinese empire. lle thoroughly endorsed the sentiments embodied in the memorial and Ietter, The mewmorial was read in tull and re- ferred to the committee on foreign relations, Mr. Pugh, waiving for the present his no- tice that he would call up the Payne election case, the senate resumed consideration of the oleomargarine bill and was addressed by Mr. Brown, 10 opposition to the bill, Mr. Hawley spoke in support of the bill. Mr. Evarts also favored it. Mr. Ingalls addressed the senate. He saia that towards the close of the debate yester- perated by personal allusions in- tended to be offensive, he had made some ob- servations which, on reflection, e was per- suaded had exceeded the limits of propriety in debate, ana he availed himself of this first public oceasion to express his regret. He then proceeded to argue against the bill, Ihe fundamental question was whether or not oleomargarine was & healthful, nutri tious food product. If it were, then oleo- margarine had exactly the same right to ask a tax on butter as butter had to ask a_tax on oleomargarine. If it were a healthiul food product, then this bill not a bill to spoli- ate. It was not a bill for revenue, but a mll for confiscation and d nction. A German chemist had recently discovered means for for making sacchrine from coal oil of such intense sweetness that a_single teaspoonful would change a barrel of water nto syrup.

Mr. Ingal t is very true, but if it is to be pursued by the imposition’ of burdens, as Plu)-ua('il by this bill, coegress will be called upon by grocers and reiners of sugar 1o declare that this saccharine is unsolutating and dangerofis to the public health, ani must not, therefore, be permitted.

The greatest objection made to the bill in the house when it passed that body some time ago was the amount of tgx imposed. A num- ber of members who vbted against it said they would favor it ifit exacted a tax of 1 cent instead of 5 cents & pound. The sena- torial triends of the bill say it will receive a larger vote in the house at 2 cents a pound, as they have amended it, than before, al- though they acknowlgdge that its encmies there will t o defeat its consideration.

WAsnsGToN, July 20.—The statement of the crop condition on the first day of July compiled by Professor Dodge, statistician of the agricultural department, and telegraphed to the press on the 10th inst., is to-day sup- plemented by a fuller report, giving addi- tional facts of an interesting character. Of spring wheat the report says: The condition of spring wheat has declined from 958 in June to 83.3 in consequence of high tempera- ture, drying winds and want of rain, Should there be no further reduction the present condition should insure about 159,000,000 bushels. It should be understood, how- thet the loss of vitality so early in _the ‘season exposes - the crops to further injuries by the heat f July and August, ¢ probable that the average condition at b vest may be still lower, “Makinz sol ance for this probability, a judicious and reasonable interpretation of the July report of winter and spring wheat would " show a prospeet of an inerease of about eighty mill- fon_bushiels nbove the official estimate for 1885, ‘The winter wheat area assures nearly enough for iome consumption and seed. ‘The condition of oats is lower than inany former July report since 1870, when the yielil averaged twenty-five bushels per acre, ~The present condition 1s 85,8 azainst 87 in July of ihat year. ‘The average for rye is 95.6 against 87 last Tne condition of barley is somewhat lower at the present date than at the first of July in any recent year. d renders it highly £ Nl Mo sio Payne Dia Not Participate.

The Trial of the Anarchists. CuicAGo, July 20, —[Special Telegram to the Brk.]—The twenty-sisth day of the an- archist tnal in Judge Gary's court did not ditfer any in its attending incidents from those that preceded it, the proceedings com- meneing with the same punctuality, in the presence of the same sized audience, and being conducted with the same decorum as on preceding days. Judge Gary is inflexible in his determination to have no demonstra- tion of any kind in the court room, and the slightest expression of feeling on the part of the audicnce always brings from him a severe reprimand As the coils are being gradually lightened round the eight prisoners, and bit by bit the start- ling testimony which conneets them with the crime for which they are indicted is being unfolded. The ofd-time swagger and smile and general air of bravado is deserting them and indications of far different emotions— hate, fear and astonishment—are apparent in their looks and demecanor. One after an- other each of tho defendants are receiving the attention of the prosecution. Now it is Fielden, now Engle, azain it is Fischer, again it is Spies, and so on through the entire brood. The public interest in the sensational developments in the anarchist cases 1s demonstrated by the daily increasing erowds who apply for admission to the court. The court room was crowded when flenry Heinemann, a reporter, the first witness, was called, Grinnell asked if he was atthe meeting on October 22 last at Twelfth street Turner hall. He was. A resolution was intro- by August Spies. Fielding was there and the meeting was presided over by A. Belz ‘Thecontents of the resolutions were submitted by Spies. They related to the impending eight hour movement and that the workingmen should uot hope for success unless they were prevared o enforce | their demands, e resolutions concluded something nike: “‘Death to the enemies of the human race, our despoilers.’” It was also set forth in a resolution, which Le meet celihood the capifhlisti would oppose the laboring men by me police and militia, and 1o I could be accomplishied unless a s reform lar force ought to bear against the class in au- thority. The witness said May 1 was desig- nated'as the time the new labor movement was to be introduced. The resolutions were introduced in evidence, Ofticer J. A. West, of Hinman street sta- tion, was the next on the stand. Ile was at McCormick’s reaper factory the afternoon of May 3, near to where the meeting was being lield, at which August Spies was a prom: inent speaker. Witness proceeded to give at length the particulars of the riot which oc- curred at McCormick’s.

Thecourt allowed the witng 10 proceed with his narrative. -~ He said many of the mob were armed with revolvers and they at once opened fire upon the police upon the latter’s arrival on the scene. James_ L. Frazer, who was employed near McCormick’s works, and who witnessed the riot, coniirmed Officer West's testimony. When Spies was speaking (o the crowd he was very violent. _Atthe conclusion of his speech some one eried out, pointing towards the factory: “Let’s go and Kill those damned scabs!” “The crowd fmmediately started in that direction, and Spies slid off the platform and started for the street cars, E.T.
