the most interesting yel given. Mrs.
Crawford testified. she confessed that
shs disliked her husband because Ne
vas TOO old, fhat she loved Foster be-
cause be was handsome and pleasing.
and that she committed adultery with
Dixie fer the purpoee Of obtaining
divorce from her husband. She spared
Foster e. far aa possible, because she
knew be was about 20 marry. Under
q strict oross examination she confessed
that she bad committed adultery Only
with Dilke and Foster, exculpating The
other tWo sooiely men.
A remarkable feature was that when
Mrs. Crawford waa asked Z question,
fer instance with regard 10 the French
vice. adaltefy, etc., she answered with
the utmost calmness. "Nas, yes" and
even smiled, ghowing chat ahe was
naturally an abandoned woman who
rather Rloried in her shame. Mrs.
Crawford spoke IN soft, pleasing tones
damaging Dilke withoat exoulpatiRg
herself.
Tbs evidences given to-day produced
a deep impression. Its direotneas. clear

sible. The conduct Of MrA Crawford
and her sisters In court was marked By
unseemly lev1ty .ihey laughing and talk
ina together.
