LONDON- , July 20. [ Now York Ileiald
Cable. Special to the lir.t : . ] Tlio Intercut
In nny ilrnnm grows usually inoio Intense on
rebelling tlio foiulli act , Tlio Crawford case
on Its fourth hearing to-da > wiw no exception
to that i tila 'I'lic outside Interest In the case
was greater than uvur. Guineas weio vainly
offered for admission , nnd even barristers
waited halt an hour on tlio chance that by
Borne con trow coining outthey cotnd got his
Beat. Tin1 proceeding * Included ( he breaking
down of 31 rs. Itojjerson on cross-
examination and a severe snub to tlio
queen's proctor by the Judge , because ho
put bungling questions. There was some
SCANDAI.Ot'S KKV-lIOI.i : EVIDKNTE.
Of a suspicions clininctur , an alibi fioni Lady
Dllke In fa\or of her husband as tothe fateful
Cth of .May , and finally the debut of the fair ,
If frail , defendant In tlio witness box. When
Lady Dilko passed towaut the judee , she and
Mrs. Ciawforil for an Instant exchanged
glances. In which ruiloslty and icpnlslon
were Indescribably mixed. Then one ictlied
and the other took her place. Lady DlIUo
woio a summer llisht lavender dress and an
airy bonnet , trimmed to correspond. Mrs.
Crawfoid wore the same diess , pieviously de
scribed , which she wears dally. The former
lady looked llko an exacting matron , strong-
willed and bound to win when she ROCS In.
Mrs. Crawford looked like a
I'll AOIM : , SII.T.Y oinr , ,
easily to bu blown about by tlio breezes of cir
cumstances. Her figure Is plump , suggest
ing pleasant partneishlp In the waltz.
Lady Dllke gave her evidence like a belle
de Jole. Mrs. Crawford's answers seemed to
trickle like falling water from a modest foun
tain. She certainly looked ratlici to favor
the theory that she Is as fragile In morals , In
n worldly sense , as In appearance , rather
than tlio Dilko theory that she Is an artful ,
designing and tteachoroiis woman. While
testifying she looked modestly down , her
COI.Olt OA.MK AND Wi\T : ,
her whole manner seeming to bay : "I'm
hero to make a clean breast of It. " Sir Charles
never removed his gaze from her face , but
Bhe never seemed to meet his eyes , nor those
of Cautain Foster , who wore an Insouciant
look throughout. Ho 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
I.OTII.USIO.
The "Helen" who caused this selgeof the
legal temple had not testified many minutes
before the Jurors began to look as If wonder-
Inc who would aid them to unravel the web
ot ucrjtiry on ono side or the other. Whenever -
over Sir Charles nnd tils household had tired
negative bullets , as It were. Into tlio Jury
target , she followed , topping them with
afllrmatlvo shots. Being- witness called by
the committee. Sir Henry James introduced
her story thus :
"Aio jou willing to give evidence now ? "
"Yes , my loul. "
"You have heard the evidence which your
husband gave on the last occasion , when ho
bald you made a confession to him' ' "
"Yes , my lord , "
"It Is true you made that statement V"
" 11 Is , my lord. "
SHI : ACKNOWLEDGES TIM : COHN.
"Then Is It irneor not that you committed
adultery with Sir Charles Dilko ? "
"It Is ti ue , my lord. "
The Judge " .Now , Mr. Matthews , jou can
put any further question to lier that you may
feco lit. "
Her husband's counsel then took up the run
ning thus : "i undetstand you wore married
In the latter part or : 18SIV"
"In July , 1831. "
"How old were you then ? "
"Klghtccn. "
"Did you see Sir Charles Dllke that year ? "
"Yes ; after I was marrl cd. "
"Where ? "
"At ' "
Harley's hotel.
"When jour husband was not present ? "
"Il was not. "
"What took place on that occasion ? "
"Sir Charles m.tdolovo to me. "
"When had you last scon him before ? "
"I saw Sir Charles bcforo I was married. "
"At your mother's house ? "
"Yes. "
"What more did ho do besides making love
to you during the Interview at Barley's
hotel ? "
"Ho kissed me , and said yon will come and
eco mu as soon as you como back to London.
He staved tlieio about an hour. "
"What time or day was It ? "
"About half past eleven In the morning. "
in : WAS MAMMA'S r.oviu. :
"Did Sir Charles say anything about your
self in connection with your inothei ? "
"Ho said 1 was very llko her and that was
why ho took a fancy to mo. "
Upon the subject of Dilko's sudden lovemaking -
making by the mamma's lover to a bride , her
daughter , the pioctoi's cross-examination
elicited this :
"When , two mouths after your marriage ,
ho made love to you , did you tesont it ? "
"I did not. Ho said I need not mind because -
cause of his connection with the family and
that It was all ilgnt. "
HP. KISSED HER.
"What do you mean by making love to
you. "
"Ho kissed mo. "
"Do you mean to say It WAS behavior that
might take plp.co between a icdpectable man
nnd woman1
"No I don't "
, think It was.
"Didyoupmmlt It ? "
"Yes , 1 did. "
" 1 on saw nothing more of him until the
following FobruaryV"
"No. "
"And as soon as you came to town In Feb
ruary ho called upon you ? "
"Yes. I don't remember any appointment
being made for Ids calling , He could easily
hear of my leturu to town. "
"Did you not expect that he would con
tinue to make lovu to you when ho called ? "
" 1 did not know. "
SHBNKVKllTOI.D HEIl I.OVK.
"Did you toll your husband what happened
at thu Hsrluy hotel ? ' !
"No. "
"Any lady ? "
"No lady. "
"Did you take any precautions to prevent
him calling1
"No. "
"And when he did como was it on the first
occasion that ho made the ariauKcmcnt for
uolug to Waru-n ttrcotT"
"Did you understand him to mean that
you were to go to Wf.rreu street to bo
w ougcd by 1dm ? ' '
"Yes , I understood him to mean that. "
"Andyou ncnt without any interview or
Dreeing from him1
"Yes. "
TIIB SIONIFICANrE OF IT.
The .MKiilficaiice of some of this Is best
seen by rememlierlnz how Dilko declined to
answer whether ho was ever her mother's
lover , or by referring to what her etldcnce
was later In the day when this occurred
about the anonymous letters :
"Do you still think they were all in the
wilting of jour mother1
" 1 think that the lirst two and the fourth
were. "
When was It Sir Charles told you he had
been your uiothei's lover ? On one of those
occasions when you met him for purposes of
adultery ? "
"Ho told mo so by degress. Of course ,
I know he had been an Intimate
filend for years.1
"It was not talked of In your family ? "
"Yes. It was more or less known , hut was
not a subject wo were likely to dUeuss. "
"Did you tell jour husband about It ? "
"Yes ; or rather , I Implied It to him. I done
no * think I told him so posithely. Wo all
more or less knew It. "
Tim CONFESSION REVIEWED.
Mis. Ci.xwtord then naively prattled off the
confessions she m.itle last winter. Of course ,
she went to-day more Into details. At these
once or twice I thought 1 saw even the vet
eran divorce judircs blush. These narratives
of how she sent her husb.uid elf to Oxford at
bieakfast time to yet join him theretor din
ner , meanwhile for the lirst time ,
SACRIFICING 111:1 : : WIFELY ito.vou
to Dllke ; how she took a cab at her own
house , dismissing that , and took another to
his alleged private bagnio ; how she was ad
mitted and how let out ; how she afterward
visited his hoiiMj , and how the spider hat on
his head and the gloves on his hand came
web-footod out to the door and
took his p.wr fly noiselessly to his
apartments ; how , when DilKo drove
to call on her , she made the Venetian blinds
and painted wire screen meet , excluding the
garish light of day ; how she passed two
whole nights In his house , with "Fanny ; "
on onn occasion , 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'si craft.
Tin : CROSS-EXAMINATION.
The cross-examination about Fanny was
put , thus :
"lid Dilke over mention a person named
Fanny1
"Yes ; In the summer of 1833 ho first men
tioned her. "
" \Vhatdldhesay ? "
"She was a girl who iisoJ to spend the
night at his house , that she was very nice and
of my age. He asked would I like to
see her at his house. I said
I would not llko to see her at all Ho said
she was supposed to be In his .service. Ho
said ho got hold of ; her through Sarah. She
was let in by Saiah every night aud let out in
the morning. "
"Tell us the circumstances under which
you first haw her. "
"Ono day , when I was at Dilko's house
speaking to him In the blue room , he said ,
'sho is In the house. ' Then ho asked If I
would see her. I said 1 did not. Then we
went up staus , and after we had been in his
bed-ioom ho brought Fauuy in. "
"Was she dressed or undressed ? "
TUB TESTIMONY TOO TOUGH.
"I do not think It is necessary that I should
co through all this. "
"Very well ; 1 will not ask you. Did she go
back to the loom she came f 10111 ? "
"Yes. I saw her again in the spiinsr of ISSt
when we came back to London. Ho called
her Into the room. Ho told me 1 was very
silly not to llko her. She stayed In the loom. "
"Were you all three together ? "
"Yes. "
"And she helped you to dicss ? "
"Yes ; and Sarah let me out afterwards. "
"Had you any conveisation with Fanny ? "
' 'She told mo very much what Sir Charles
himself had told mo about her. She said she
was living near to Sloano street aud that she
was nineteen. "
"Did you know that she was Sarah's sister
at the time ? "
"Xo , I did not , "
' Now , look at this photograph. Do you
recounUo It ? "
"Yes ; it Is Fanny's. "
Jill's. CIIAWFOKD DISTRESSED.
During the last questioning Mrs. Crawfoid
for the lirst time showed distress. The pain
ful hush in the court room
and n curious London darkening
of the sunshine suddenly , while she was
answering weio accompanied by a semi-faint
ing fit , which was relieved by a draught of
water. But lor three hours the rhetorical
toituie went on. Her story about confessing
to her husband and about her Interview with
Dilko when he tried persuasion and threats
was rather pitifully told. For the first time
In the trial. I'hllllmoio. showed the adroitness
of an advocate. Ho woimed from her that
she mauled to escape unhauplncss at homo ,
only to find it worse with a
husband twenty ycais her senior ;
how she leained to love Dllke , but when
ho thought It best to part , she had to love
somebody , and then learned to llko Foster
though knowing ho was encaged to bo mar
ried. She admits laying an anonymous
lettcrwhlch came by post bo her husband
should see It , and that
DIVORCE WAS WELCOME TO unit.
This testimony , of course , wont far to
show the proctor's theory of collusion.
Whenever the Judao or either side of the
counsel questioned her it seemed to be
kindly , yet with that kindness described by
X. P. Willis : "Ho hooked mo kindly , as a
Usher hooks a woim , pitying It the while. "
The proctor's examination continues to
morrow. As tlio ease now stands It looks as
If the Jury w ere likely to find against the de
cree. At least the evidence makes It a drawn
game , and outside of the confessions , which
are largely contradicted , foreshadows collu
sion. Tlicta Is not proof yet which will clvo
thu husband his freedom.

In debate , aim ho availed himself ot this lirst
public occasion to express his regret. He
then proceeded to nrguo against the bill.
The fundamental question was whether
or not oleomar aitne was a healthful , until
tlous food product. If It were , then oleo-
maruarini ! had exactly the same right to ask
a tax on butter its butter had to ask n tax on
oleomarpulne. If Itweic a healthful food
product , then this bill was not a bill to spoli
ate. It was not a bill for revenue , but a Dill
forconfbcation and destruction. A German
chemist had recently discovered means for
for making sacchrine from coal oil of such
Intense sweetness that a blntlo teaspoonful
would change a banel of water into svrup.
What should be said ot the dls-covery by
which , if all that was said of it weio true , the
cane .sugar industry was to be uprooted and
destroyed ?
Mr. Hawley Sell it as coal oil syrup.
Mr. Innalls That is very true , but If it Is
to be pursued by the Imposition of buidcns ,
as pioposcd by this bill , coeRress will bu
called upon by grocers and reiiners of siurar
to declaie that this saccharine Is nnsolutatliifr
and dungcrofis to the public health , and
must not , therefore , be permitted. Ue went

on this subject betore the committee on agii-
culture , and that it any confidence were to
be placed in human testimony oleomargarine
was a healthlul , nutations and cheap food
product.

THE COUNTU.Y'fl CHOPS.
A Supplementary Report Giving In
teresting Statistics.
WASHINGTON , July 20. The statement of
the crop condition on the lirst day of July
compiled by Piofessor Dodge , statistician of
the agricultural department , and telegraphed
to the press on the 10th lust. , 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 95.8 In
Juno to 83.3 In'conspqucnco of high tempera
ture , drying winds and want of rain. Should
there bo no further reduction the present
condition should Insuio about l.VJ,000,0W
bushels. It should be understood , however -
over , thct the loss of vitality so
early in the season exposes the
ciops to further , Injiules by tlio heat
of July and August , and renders it highly
probable that the average condition at Har
vest mav be still lower. Makln some allow
ance for this probability , a judicious nnd
icasonable interpretation of thu July report
ot winter and spring wheat would show a
prospect of an Increase of about eighty mill
ion bushels above the oflMal estimate for
Ibb5. The winter wheat area assures nearly
enough for liome consumption and seed.
The condition o oats is lower than In any
foiiuer July report since 1S7U , when the yield
averaged twenty-flvo bushels per acre. The

CmcAcio , July 20. [ Special Telegram to
the Bn .J The twenty-sKth day ot the an
archist trial In Judge Gary's court did not
differ anyIn its attcmllnir Incidents from
these that preceded It , the proceedings com
mencing with the Mini ) punctuality , in the
prcscnco of the same sized audience , and
being conducted with the same decorum ns
on preceding days. Judge Gary Is Inilexlblo
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 audlcnco always bilugs
from him a severe reprimand As
the cells are being gradually lightened round
the olght prisoners , and bit by bit thu start
ling * testimony which connects them with the
crime for which they are Indicted is being
( infolded. The old-tlino swagger and siullo
and general air of bravado Is deserting them
and Indications of far different emotions-
hate , fear and astonishment arc appaieut In
their looks and demeanor. Ono alter an-
othuroachof the defendants aio receiving
the attention of the prosecution. Now It Is
FIcldcn , now Kngle , aaln 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 is
demonstrated by the dally Incieaslng
crowds who apply for admission to the court.
The court room was crowded when Henry
Helncmann , a reporter , the lirst witness , was
called. Grinnell asked If ho was at the
meeting on October : a 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. Bolz.
Thecoutents of the resolutions were submitted
by Spies. They related totho impending eight
hour movement and that the worklngmcn
sliuuld not hope for success unless they weie
prepared to enforce their demands.
The icsoliitlons concluded something
like : "Dc.it h to the enemies ot
the human race , our despollers. "
It was also set forth in n resolution , which
was adopted unanimously by the meeting ,
tliat in all likelihood the capitalistic class
would oppose thu laboiing men by means of
police and militia , and no lasting leloiiu
could be accomplished unless n similar foicc
was brought 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 Intiodueed. The resolutions woie
intioduced In evidence.
Olllcer J. A. West , , of Hinman street sta
tion , was the next on the stand. Ho was at
McConnlck's leaper factory the afternoon of
.May U , near to where the meeting was being
held , at which Auuust Spies was a mom-
Inent speaker. Witness pioceeded to give at
length the particulars of the liot which oc
curred at McCormlek's. The defense Inter
posed a violent objection to the testimony
nnd tjio etforts of tlie prosecution to connect ,
the defendants with all acts ot violence that
shad occurred. . .Thocourt allowed the witness
io.proceed with his nairative. Ho said
many of tlio mob were armed with revolveis
and they at once opened tire upon the police
upon the lattei's arrival on the scene.
James L. Frazcr , who was emploved near
McCormlck's works , aud who witnessed the
riot , continued Omccr West's testimony.
When Spies was spcaklne tothccumd he
was very violent. At the conclusion of his
speech some one cilcd out , pointing towards
the factory : "Let's go and kill those damned
scabs ! " The crowd immediately stalled In
that direction , and Spies slid oft the platform
and started for the street cars.
K T. liaker also corroboiaied the testi
mony of the iwo witnesses. A. S.Lcckie.a ic-
porler on tlio Daily Newa , gave evidence on
the same subject. Ho said in his addioss to
the ciowd Spies spoke of bombu. revolver * ,
otc. Witness w.is on platform from which
Spies was speaking , but wasouleied to leave ,
and on refusing to do so was violently as
saulted.
F. Haraster. president of the Lumber
Shovcrs' union , testified that the object of
the meetingneay McCounlck'.swastoheartlio
report of A committee who had waited on the
lumber bosses. He was to make that report ,
but upon arriving on the scene he
found that violent speeches were be
ing made by outsiders. Ho jumped
on the phi If01 in and counseled modeiatlon.
Ho told the men the object ot the meeting
was to hear a repoit , but they thicatencd to
throw him off the platform it ho didn't keep
quiet. When the crowd started towards the
factory he tried to stop It , and warned them
against llstenlnu to the poisonous speeches
that had been made.
The defense imulo objection to this testi
mony , but the objection was promptly over
ruled by Judge Gary.
Sergeant John Knrlcht and another ofllcer
testlliiHl OJ to the riot at McCormlck's , their
testimony agreeing with that of their com-
lades
Michael Hahn. a tailor , was the first wit
ness this afternoon. Hahn said ho was at
the HaymarUet May and was standing at
the northwest corner of Desplalnes and Han-
dolph sheets when the bomb exploded. The
niissle struck him in the bade , lendeiing him
unconscious. Tlio principal feature of
Halm's testimony lav in the Implication that
the police hnd been delibeiately led Into the
trap , and thnn , by preconcerted methods ,
slaughtered Irom every side.
Thuodoie Frlckc , business manager of tlio
Arbelter Zoltung , questioned ns to the well-
known tacts concerning the relations of
Spies , Paisous and others to the piper , iden-
tliied certain manuscripts seized after tlio 4th
of May as helmr In the chlroirraphy of Spies
aud Schwab. They aio the originals of the
famous "llovenge" circulars and similar ef
fusions.
Tim defense objecting to tcstlmonv show
ing that the llhraiy In the Aiboltcr Xcitung
was composed of works similar to llerr
Moat's "Science of Revolutionary Warfare , "
Judge Gaiy overruled the objection and
said : "If a man Is teaching the
oyurtluow of civil order by force ,
and is engaged in conspiring
to further that end , then the possession of n
book or books Illustrating the methods of
such destruction , or advocating their use , Is
competent evidence against him , the weight
of which Is to bo determined by the jury. "
Flgeko testified that in the manuscript of
the call for the meeting of anarchists held the
night previous to the the bomb throwing ,
tlio cabalistic word "ituliu" was In Spies'
hand writing ,
Kugeno Bcegur , the next witness , is the lin
guist who translated several articles appeal
ing In the Arbcltes Foltung Just preceding
May 4. Secgur'u evidence was confined to
the formal statement as to the caio with
which the translations were made. The ar
ticles were then read. They were an oxcp-
tlonally graphic description of the riots at
McConnick's and other labor troubles.
Woven in with the narrative were typical
editorials from the pens of Spies and Schwab ,
assailing tlio police as murderers , and advo
cating the prompt use of dynamite by the la
boring men. When the reading was finished
couit adjourned for the day.
