LONDON , July ! M. [ New York Herald
Cable. Special to the HII : : . ] Theio was
y nn air In the Dllke-Crawfoid court ronm this
morning which Indicated that something un
usual had happened. Mrs. Crawfoid for the
lirst tlmo woru the look of nn affrighted ring
dove. Humiliation was depleted In every
lineament of Dllku's countenance. All the
counsel looked flurried. Mrs. Kogcrson's
eyes gave furious glances above her very
whllu fnce.aiiil Crawford's shoulders appeared
bent with new caius. Thu altercation ntmos-
phoru grew heavier wbun Queen's Counsel
Mnthcws called CapU Foster to the witness
box , where hu stood defiantly , scarcely heed
ing thu woids which admlnlsteied thu oath.
Without

in his voice he at once admitted his atten
tions to Mrs. Crawford and Ids taking her to
an assignation luusc while ungaxeit to Ids
present wife. When asked , "Did Mrs.
Kogerson encourage jour attentions to the
lady ? " hu aiigilly and loudly answered
"Yes. " fulily blazing his eyes at her. Nuxt
these Waxing visuals were transferred to Sir
Charles us thu following questions and
answers came fast and emphatic :
"How came you to bo in her house ? "
"Shu specially asked mu to comu there at a
certain hour that day In order that I iiiluht on
her account , personally castigate Sir Charles
Dllkoltleould. "
Here thu baronet looked as If about to faint.
"Did shu glvu you any reason ? "
"Shu told mu ho had foully slandered her
by saying she had been his mistress. "
MI : niAiu.r.s A cowAitn.
"Did you see Sir Charles DllkuV"
"Yes. I did not see him In thu house.
Mrs. Itotrurson would not allow me. Shu
tola mu he wns on thu stairs. I went down
and overtook him at the bottom.
1 said : 'Sir Charles Dllku , I believe. '
Hesald : 'Yes. ' Isaid : 'I wish to tell you.
You nro a scoundrel and liar. ' Sir Charles
Dllke said : 'And 1 am afraid you must add ,
a coward , loo. I understand you are agentlu-
man , and you would not wish to hazard my
. ' "
political reputation.
"Tell.mu what Sir Charles Dilku said about
the word coward. "
"When I said ho was a scoundrel and liar ,
he added : 'I am afraid you must add a cow
ard , too. ' These were his words. Theyniadu
a great impression upon mu. I used thu word
scoundrel twlcu during this colloquy. "
Sir James Hanncn several limes looked as
if about to slap Foster.wlillo Sir Chutles Uus-
tiell , like a true Irishman in an Impending
row , put on an air of excitement as hu laid
his hand on his client's ( Dilku's ) arm.
A OllKAT SUMMATION.
Hero all the reporters simultaneously
jotted down the word "sensation. " They
madu faster jots when Mrs. Itogerson , as she
was beckoned to , madu her especial spring to
ward Hie wltness.box. In a thick voice , but
volubly , she answered thu questions , in
deed fairly roaring her replies.
"I never asked Foster to defend mo from
Sir Charles. Most unexpectedly to mu the
drawing room door opened while Sir Charles
wns callliu : and the footman announced tlio
captain. Knowing the terms upon which they
went , and as I did not wish them to have any
scenes in my house , I said : 'Show Captain
Foster Into the dining room. ' 1 heard Cap
tain Foster msli nast thu door and go down
the public stairs. Hu left my frontdoor open
and 1 heard him speaking In thu hall. I went
half way down thu staircase and put up my
hands and said : 'Surely this Is not the place
for two gentlemen to quarrel. ' Sir Charles
Dllku took off his hat and said : 'You may
think liow sorry 1 am that this should have
occurred In your house. ' "
Next the duel became triangular when
Dllke , ns excited as tlio othortwocombatants ,
entered thu box and the court-crier took uu
the position of a man
IIK.UJV TO Kiur : TUB I-KACI : .
As Mrs. Itogerson had contradicted tlio cap
tain , so now Dllko seemed to bo contradict
ing both. The measure of his testimony was
"Nothing was said about Mrs. Hogerson's
character , and ns to my usu of the word cow-
nrd it applied to him for nUurcatlng in a
lady's house. " Hut the legal thundercloud
bad burst and the spectator could feel that
thu cool September had succeeded , the torrid
July , yet not for long. Queon's Counsel
Matthews had not been lonv' summing up
when , at an allusion to Dilku's silence at thu
lirst hearing of the case , Sir Charles Itusscll
hurriedly and
SOMEWHAT ANCJUII.Y AHOSK
and addressed the court. Hut no had merely
uttered ' 'My Lord ! " when Sir James sternly
waved him down , saying "I cannot allow
any interferruneu , These are only argu-
" nioiits to the Jury. " Only a few moments
later the counsel continued In a strain moro
Impassioned , perhaps , because of thu inter
ruption , "you have had under oath Mrs.
Crawford in thu first casu , In a story of ux-
tniordlnary detail branching inio ramified
facts ,

and circumstances , upon uvory onu of which ,
ir her story was false , bhu is open to contra
diction. It was full of the dutallu of those
brutal Interviews. Was there uver such a
story of adultery ? Thu details jilted In a ro-
ninikublc manner und were confirmed. Could
they conserve any motive for such absolute
falsification as Dllko would have you bo-
lluvu ? Think of thu sliamo of thu story.

and , through thu press , the whole country , details -

having to take her trial for perjury in thu
central criminal court. After she loft her
husband's house , she went to Mrs. Ashton
Dllke , who proved a kind , affectionate sister ,
Why did Sir Charles

Tl'cn there was the olfor of money , which

Hero the orator paused and looked men-
nelugly at blr Charles Dllke , who , wringing
Ids bands nud evidently laboring under great
cxcltcuicut , sala in adcen\olce ;

ter to him , as you have hitherto done. "
Sir Charles Dllke ( still standing and again
wringing his hands )
"IT IS FAI.SK , IT IS WltOXO. "
Ho llien sat down and excitedly said n few
hurried words 1 to Phllllmure , who took
no notice whatever of him , and ho nervously
lapped on the table In front of him. It was
some tlmo bjtoro ho resumed his
: omposuro when ho chatted a short time to
Ills solicitor. Tills second Interruption In
spired Muthuws to renewed oratory. Ills
methods of ejaculation and finish would re
mind thu eldest generation of Xuw Yorkers
of Ojfden Hoffman. The present generation
of Colonel ingersoll ,
nt'nsriNo INTO iNvr.cTivi :
jnsed on sound logic he continued : "During
thu first hearing when the confusions were
used , did not Sir Charles sit In court. If
what ho says now be true , he knew that the
court was bolng deceived by a lying confes
sion and Invention from beginning to end ,
yet he remained silent. Hu knew , accordIng -
Ing to his present story , that his friend ,
Crawford , an honorable mnn , was belliic
befooled and bejuggcd by his wife and ho sat
silent. This woman , whom ho now repre
sented as
A OU1I.TY WOMAN
conspiring against him to blacken his name ,
was triumphant. He was getting the divorce
shu wanted and Sir Charles Dllko sat silent.
This woman confessed that ho had not
merely committed adultery with her.
It was ndullry with the wife of ono friend
and the da lighter of another. Coarse , brutal
adultery , unredeemed by any fueling of affec
tion , of love , and more befitting a beast than
n man. Ho heard himself'farther charged
with taking this woman ami
1'UTTINO IIKIt IN I1BD
with a prostitute in a French brothel , and ho
still sat sllcnU" At this point Sir Charles'
face fairly carried homicidal looks. With
agitated hands he had unconsciously dlshov-
lllcd his halrand ills eyeballs seemed to bu
enlarging , Ids face and attitude weru subjects
for a painter wishing a model for a wild man.

"Gentlemen , as this Is a palntul subject
this ease has proved It to be a painful sub
ject but I pray your attention to tills : That
as Sir Charles Dilko could not deny these ,
statements truly , ho was compelled to deny
thustatempnts falsely rather thin leave them
uiicontradlctcd. This seems to me 0110 fact
of great importance and ono upon which
your verdict of the issue will turn. "
During his speech of four hours the orator
took up seriatim the eorr.iboratlous ot the
wife's confessions and wove thorn into '
A sTitoxa PAIIIHC.
Ills allusions to the absence of Fanny be
en mo intensely dramatic at ono time , when
ho exclaimed , ' Where is she' ; " ' and paused to
look into spacu. His utterances and looks
were thosu of a great actor performing Mac
beth and looking for the ghost of lianquo.
yet Implied Dllko's terror lust Fanny should
come , and expressed whatever the jurors'
gaze seemed to show , "Her absence Is confes
sion. " With inliuitu sarcasm Mr. Matthews
asked : "Could they not have paid Fanny the
bare compliment of a subpimia , that she
might have saved her honor , if she could , for
the sake of h > r husband ? " Thou the
counsel proceeded In detail to paint
THU SI.OANU STIIERT OltGlKS.
" 1 cannot conceive of aiiy man , however
depraved , performing this with the veriest
strumpet of thu slums. The man who could
put n woman through such scenes has a terri
ble responsibility. Tlio last spark of shame ,
modesty and self respect must have been
burnt off that young woman's hcait 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 absence -
senco of Fanny , over whom Sir Charles Dllko
had control , fastens the guilt upon him. "
At the passage pointing to the cowardly
baronet , another scene of his mental struggle
ensued , such as I Imvo previously described
Hut at this point Ills
I'OBTIIY AND EI.OCJl'BNCB
Were distill bed by the prosaio adjournment
for luncheon. Cakes nnd ale seemed to make
everybody moru amiable when the court re
assembled , and Mr. Matthews renewed his
speech. Ho made the strong point that
not only Lady Dilke , who swore
to nn alibi on the fatal day
at the luncheon party of Mr. and Mrs. ISavl
should have beun sworn , but these givers and
some oc the guests should have been sub
poenaed. His peroration , solemn and touch
ing , elicited slight applause , nnd at Its close
the jurors were still
IIEAMING WITH IKTRIIEST.
This wns almost Immediately lost when Sir
Walter Phllllmoru followed. Ho is dry , pre
cise , hard nml tedious. As the afternoon
were on the jury showed signs of
weariness , and Sir Charles Dilko's
face did not beam with satisfaction at the de
fense of his conduct that was offered. Later
Sir James Hannun , whoso face Is not an

If you deslro to finish to-night t can wait n

wedded the lady under the name of Anna
Schulley and settled down to housekeeping.
Within two months Weaver was asked to ap
pear as a witness In a divorce proceeding be

Father Mnxlme Laporto , formerly pastor of
the St. Joachim church , has inst returned
from Koine , where ho went to lay before the
nope certain grievances. He was welcomed
back by several hundred of his parishioners ,
who aru prepared to fight tlie bishop
to thu blttur end. Thu cause of tlie

The priest has brought back witli him a letter
from tlio pope , urging Bishop Bourgess to as-

of the same nationality. It is understood
that , this letter not being mandatory , the

Vote To-Mnrrow.
The Sonnto's Procoedlnjrs.
WASIIINOTON. July vs ! . The bill for tlic
public bullilliig nt "Nebraska City , Xeb. ,
passed ,
Tjio senate then resumed constdcraton of
tlio Pay no election case , ami Teller coneliuletl
his rcmaiks commenced yesterday. Ho was
followed by Mr. Sherman , Mr. Jewctt oceu-
plng the chair. Hu ro.su , Mr. Sherman said ,
to perform tlio most disagreeable duty of his
life. During all the time ho hail been In this
body ho never had occasion to bring before
the senate the politics of Ohio as
distinguished fiotu national politics.
In performing what ho regarded as n public
duty to the people of Ohio , nnd particularly
to the republican people of Ohio , he would do
It In no spirit of unkiuducss to his colleague.
Ho did not think tliat any of the nowspiiper
extracts load by Mr. Logan yesterday showed
any rellcctlon on their motives. As a matter
of course the newspapers were rude and
rough In their lancuago about public men.
Hut If anybody expects better treatment from
the newspapers , ho would have to live In an
ago yet far icmoto. it was thu history of
politics that every man In public
fo must ba arraigned by the newspapers.
This was the lirst tlmo when It was ever
urged in tie ] senate ol the United States that
It should not examine into the character and
conduct of an election and Into thu ( pialilica-
tlous ot its members. When n great statn ot
tlireo millions of people comes h'cre , through
its organs , and asserts its belief that the elec
tion of a United States senator has been
tainted with fraud and corruption , it
will not do for tlio Bonato or a mem
ber of tlio committee on privileges
and elections to say : "Wo do not believe
that you have shown evidence enough. You
have not convicted tint rascals who partici
pated in this offense. " You cannot move
half the population of a great state like Ohio
unless there is something tearful behind It.
It Is not tin ) arguments nud attacks ot news
papers that are behind this movement. It is
the tear 1 might say , the conviction that
their most sacred rl-'lit of representation has
been tampered with by corruption.
Ileferri ntt to Mr. Teller's icmark astotho
resolution of the Ohio editors being sn af
front , Mr. Sherman said : "Tho senate of the
United States can never put itself sohiali
that even a petition of the humblest citizen ,
black or white , must bo received by it with
respect , and when a respectful bodv of mnn
like these editors send you n pctititlou in'
plain and not olVcnslvo words , it cannot bo
treated as an affront , even if It does not har
monize exactly with the opinion of a senator
on this iloor. i have myself been charged by
newspapers with offenses improper In a
senator , and I have demanded investiga
tions , and therefore it was supposed as a
matter of course that when this
humble petition was presented lucre would
bo no legal quirks and stratagems to avoid
an investigation , but that on an assertion by
these people of their belief in fraud an in-
vestUatloii would bo granted. Thu question
Is not , however , whether the ease made by
this printed testimony is suflicicnt to con
vict. The question Is whether it is sulllclent
to cxolto suspicion , because on suspicions a
senator's right to his seat may bo investi
gated. Therefore , with due deference to the
distinguished and eminent gentleman who
has given to this case , no doubt ,
the views ot a lawyer and
the strictness of a lawyer , it
seems to mo that they have confounded the
state of Ibis inquiry. li is now an inquiry
only in the hands of a committee of tills body
to ndviso us whether or not In these uapcrs ,
or in any that can bo produced , corruption
can bo shown. Then tlic Inquiry goes on.
final judgment , however , is only arrived at
when wo should shall have considered the
testimony and when , with grave and deliber
ate justice , and with that kindness which wo
always show to our colleagues , wo
will proceed to render our Jnduinent.
lean say to you In conclusion that we be
lieve ( and mainly on statements made by
democratic editors and democratic citizens' )
that there has been Iraiui and conuptlon
in the election of my colleague. That is the
belief generally held in thu state of Ohio.
and wo ask you to make such inquiry as will
satisfy your consciences whether that charge
is trtiu or false. If it is true , yon alone aio
the judges. If it is false , you cannot punish
the men who stalled these1 charges but you
can vindicate ) the men who have been un
justly accused. "
Mr. Eustis srmko In favor of the majority
report. Ho did not limt that thu circum
stances of the Ohio Investigation , whose re
sults had been reported to the senate , wore
such as to show that the Investigation had
been guided by those Just and fair principles
of evidence that prevailed generally In this
country.
t'ho chair announced the question to bo on
the adoption of the report ot tlio majority re
port of tlio committee.
Mr. Hoar moved as an amendment that the
minority report , calling for an Investigation ,
bo adopted Instead.
In conclusion , Mr. Frycsaid : "Tho United
Status senate can engage In no higher , no
bettur , no more responsible duty than to put
Itself to work , the result of which might bo a
\varnlug uxtonding from east to west and
from north to south that this corruption by
great wealth must stop now anil forever. "
The vote will bo taken at " o'clocic to
morrow.

interfered. 1 afterwaul went to his room and
