CRAWFORD dixie SCANDAL.
LONDON, July 20.--In the Crawford d.
vorce case yesterday Mrs Rogerson testi-
fed that Mrs. Crawford and Capt. Fos-
ter had frequently visited her house, and
that Mrs. Crawford had confessed TO her
that she had committed adultery with
men besides Sir Charles Dixie.
The evidence given to-day in the trial
OF the Crawford divorce case showed
clearly that Mrs. Crawford had been
guilty of adultery with Capt. Foster
Mrs. Crawford took the stand and de-
clared that her confession to her husband
was true. She swore that she often
visited Sir Charles Dilkes' house, and
that Sir Charles had opened the door aud
conducted her TO his bedroom.
Mrs. Crawford explained her conduct
by saying that she never loved her hus-
band, who, she declared, was all the time
suspecting her. She had not spoken to
her mother for three years. She married
Crawford because at home she was miser-
able. She told the story of her degrade
ton by "Fanny" in pretty much the same
terms as those used by her in her confess
sion.
The court was crowded. To-day's evil
dence Yves decidedly the most interest
Ing yet given. Mrs. Crawford test fed i.
She confessed that she disliked her nus
band because he was too old; that she
| loved Foster because he was hand
some and pleasing; that she hated
| Dixie, and that she committed adultery
for the purpose of obtaining a divorce
from her mated husband. She spared
Foster as far es possible, because she
knew he was about TO marry
| Under strict cross-examination she
confessed that she had committed
adultery only with Dixie and Foster
thus exculpating two other So
ciety men. A remarkable feature
was that when Mrs. Crawford was
asked some questions, for instance with
regard to the French vice of adultery,
etc, she answered with the utmost calm
I ness eyes, yes" and even smiled, show
ing that she was naturally an utterly
abandoned woman, who rather gloried in
her shame. Mrs. Crawford spoke in soft
pleasing tones, damaging Dixie without
eXculpating herself The evidence
given to-day produced deep impression
Its directness, clearnesS and circumstan-
tial minuteness convinced all of its TRUTH
Dilke's refusal to deny liaison with Mrs.
Crawiord's mother is attributed to the
open nature of the scandal rendering
denial impossible. The conduct Of Mrs
Crawford and her sister in court was
marked by unseemly levlty and talking
| together.
