Loxvox, July 22—} York Tlerald Cable.—Speci to the Beg.)]—There was wiord court room this wmorning which indicated that something un- usual had happened. Mrs, Crawford for the first time wore the look of an_ affrighted ring dove, Humilintion was depicted in every lineament of Dilke's countenance. All the counsel looked flurried. Mrs. Rogerson’s eyes gave furious glances above her very wh neeand Crawford's shoulders appeared bent with new cares, The altercation atmos- phere grew heavier when Queen’s Counsel Mathews ealled Capt. Foster to the witness Dbox, where he stood defiantly, scarcely heed- ing the words which administered the oath. Without A NOTE OF COMPUNCTION in his voice he at once admitted his atten- tions to Mrs, Crawford and his taking her to an assignation house while engazed to his present wife. When asked, “Did Mrs. Rogerson cneourage your attentions to the lady?” he angrily and loudly answered Yes. fairly blazing his ey her. Next ng visuals were transferred to Sir the following questions and me fast and emphatie: ue you to be in lier house asked me to come there at a in hour that day in order that L izhton her account persoually castigate Sir Charles Dilkeit Teould.” Here the baronet looked “Did sho give you any reason “She told me he had foul Dby saying she had been his mistress, SLE CHARLES A COWARD. “Did you see Sir Charles Dilke?” “Yes, I didnot see him in the honse. Mrs. Rogerson would not allow me. She tola me he was on the stairs, I went down and overtook him at the bottomn. 1 said: ‘Sir Charles Dilke, 1 believe, Hesal ‘Yes Isaid: ‘I wish to tell you. You are a scoundrel and liar” Sir Charles Dilke sai *And I amafraid you must add, acoward, (oo, I understand you are a gentle- man, and you would not wish to hazard my political reputa ” STell me what the word coward.” “When I said he was a scoundrel and liar, he added: ‘T am afraid you must add a cow- ard, too.” ‘These were his words, They made a great impression upon me. 1 used the word scoundrel twice during this colloguy.” SirJames Hannen seve times looked as it about to slap Foster,while Sir Chailes Rus- sell, like a true Irishman in an impending Tow, put on an air of excitement as he Jaid his hand on his elient’s (Dilke's) arm. A GREAT SENSATION, Here all the reporte simultaneously jotted down the word ‘“sensation.” They made faster jots when Mrs. Rogerson, as she was beckoned to, made her ¢ al spring to- ward the witness box. In a thiek voice, but volubly, she answered the questions, in- deed fairly roaring her replies. “I never asked Foster to aefend me from Sir Charles, Most unexpectedly to me the drawing room door opened while Sir Charles was calling and the footman announced the captain. Knowing the terms upon which they were, and as I did not wish them to have any seenes in my house, Isaid: ‘Show Captain Foster into the dining room,’ 1 heard Cap- tain Foster rush past the door and go down the publie stairs, He left my front door open and 1 heard him speaking in the hall, I went half way down the staircase and put up my hands and sald: ‘Surely this is not the place fortwo gentlemen to quarrel.’ Sir Charles Dilke took off his hat and said: *You may think how sorry 1 am that this should have ocenrred in your house. ext the duel beeame triangular when Dilke, as excited as the other two combatants, entered the box and the court-crier took up the position of & man READY TO KEEP THE As Mrs. Rogerson had eontradi tain, 80 now Dilke seemed to be contra both, The measure of his testimony was othing was said about Mrs, Rogerson's character, and as to my use of the word cow- ard it apptied to him for altercating in a lady’s house.” Butthe legal thundercloud had burst and the spectator could feel that the cool September had suceseded the torrld July, yet uot for long. Queen’s Counsel Maithews had nov been long summing up when, at an allusion to Dilke's silence at the first hearing of the case, Sir Charles Russell hurriedly and SOMEWHAT A and addressed the court. But he had merely uttered “My Lord!” when Sir James sternly waved him down, saying “1 cannot allow any interferrence, These are only argu- ments to the jury.” Only a moments later the counsel continued in a strain more impassioned, perhaps, because of the inter- ruption, “you have had under oath Mrs. Crawford fn the first case, ina story of ex- waordinary detoil brauchivg inio ramified acts, an air in the Dilke-C rles us about to faint. ndered her ) aid about rles Dilke (LY AROSE BUISTLING WITH DAT upon every one of whieh, it her story was false, she 1s open to contra- diction, It was full of thye details of these brutal interviews, Was thore ever sucha story of adultery?

It was some time betore he resumed his composure when he chatted a short time to his solicitor: This second interruption in- spired Mathews to renewed oratory. His methods of ejaculation and finish would re- mind the eldest generation of New Yorkers of Ozden Hotfman, The present generation of Colonel Ingersoll, BURSFING INTO INVECTIVE based on sound logic he continued the first hearing when the confess| were used, did not Sir Charles sit in court, If what he says now be true, he knew that the court was being deceived by alying confes- sion and invention from beginning to end, yethe remained silent. He knew, acec ing to his present story, that s friend, Crawford, an honorable man, was being befooled and bejugged by his wife and he sat silent. This woman, whom he now repre- sented as “During A GUILTY WOMAN conspiring against him to blacken his name, was trinmphant. He was getting the divoree she wanted and Sir Chiarles Ditke sat silent. This woman confessed that he had not merely committed adultery with her. It was adultry with the wife of one friend and the daughter of another. Coarse, brutal adultery, unredeemed by celing of affec- tion, of love, and more befitting a beast than a man. He heard himself farther charged with taking this woman and PUTTING MER IN BED with a prostitute in a French brothel, and_he still sat silent.” At this point Sir Charles’ face fairly carried homicidal looks. With agitated hands he had unconsciously dishev- illed his hairand his eyeballs seemed to be enlarging, his face and attitude were subjects for a painter wishing a model for a wild man, THEN MIt MATHEWS RESUMED “Gentlemen, as this is a paintul subjeet— this case has proved it to be a vainful sub- Jject—but I pray your attention to this: That as Sir Charles Dilke could not deny these statements truly, he was compelled to d; the statements ontradicted. is seems to me one of great importance and one upon which your verdiet of the issue will turn.” s confessions and wove A STRONC Mis allusions to the 5 camo intensely dram time, when hie exclaimed, * Where is s nd paused to look into space.

Theman who could put & woman through such scenes has a terri- ble responsibitity. The last spark of shame, modesty and_self respeet must have been burnt off that young woman’s heart at the time she was in_the bedroom with Fanny. Who is responsible? Why, that man, who has destroyed every womanly feeling and all womanly shame. ~ Ah, gentlemen, the ab- sence of Fanny, over whom Sir Charles Dilke ad control, fastens tho guilt upon him.” At the passage pointing to the cowardly baronet, another seene of his mental strugglo ensued, suchas I have previously doseribed But at this point his POETRY AND ELOQUENCE were disturbed by the prosaic adjournment for luneheon. Cakes and ale scemed to make everybody more amigble when the court re- assembled, and Mr. Matthews renewed his hein into 1c. bsence of Fanny b speech, He made the strong point that not only Lady Dilke, who swore to an alibi on the fatal day at the luncheon party of Mr. and Mrs, Eazl should have been sworn, but those givers and some of the guests should have been sub- penaed. His peroration, solemn and touch- ing, od slight applause, and at its close the jurors were still BEAMING WITIT INTEREST. “Phis was almost hnmediately lost when Sir Walter Phillimore followed. He is dry, pre- cise, hard and tedious.
