TESTIMONY FROM CHICAGO.
Miss Willard Defends Susan Dickinson
and Believes Anna Insane.


CHICAGO, April 1.-THE sensational
story told 10 New York by Miss Anna
Dickinson is matter OF interest to the
many who have known this talented
woman either personally or by reputation,
and nowhere more than in this city. Miss
Willard emphatically says she does not
believe Annals story, and does be-
lieve her insane. Miss Willard said yes-
terday: u have known and loved Anna
Dickinson for years. l yield to no one in
my admiration for this grand woman.
who will oubtedly figure in history
as the greatest woman the country has
produced. Yet am convinced that she
IS insane, and the charges she makes
against her sister false. l have known
both her and her sister Susan for wears
and cannot bring myself to believe the
charge she makes against her sister.
Susan's Dfckinson's Devotion.
II know too much about the lifelong
devotion to and unselfish labor of Susan
Dickinson for her sister to believe DR..
Seward correct in his opinion without
further proof than his simple state
ment. For years Susan Dickinson has
iabored night and day writing book re-
views for New York papers and stories for
invalid sister Anna, and their aged
mother, who died but a comparatively
short time ago. Any one who has ever
been In their home, as / have, and seen
the many little loving attentions Susan
paid her sister and the affectionate care
with which she looked after her health.
cannot believe her capable of the in.
human treatment with which she is
charged.
Letters from Annals sister
81 have received letters from Susan re
Gently. The first told of her sisters re-
moval to the Danville asylum, and ex-
pressed regret that such a course was
necessary and the hope that Anna would
be so benefited by the treatment that she
might receiver her reason and health.
Referring to the removal of Anna
to the private asylum at Goshen, Susan
mentioned the insane and intense dislike
her sister had taken for her, and for that
reason said she had sent an old family
nurse, Louise Mcdonald, with DR..
Seward, not daring to go to the asylum
herself for fear of exciting her sister.
She, however, went to Danville, and from
distance watched Anna board the spe-
cial car, accompanied by Dr. Seward and
the nurse. and said that from the con-
trast between the behavior OF Anna On
that occasion and when she was removed
from her home to the asylum she was
hopeful that she was growing better.
The Charge About the Money.
1.-THE statement that Susan Dickinson
had her sister placed in the asylum on
false charges Of insanity in order that she
might get possession of the money that
the public subscribed for her relief is
not true. That fund was made into a
trust fund and put into the hands of A.
j. Drexel. 1t the fund reached such pro-
portions as to make it possible, Miss
Dickinson was to be supported on the in
terest, and the fund was to remain in Mr..
DrexePs hands as fund for the relief of
any other woman who had rendered pub
lie service and might be reduced to want"

ANNA's UNFORTUNATE ROMANCE.
Alleged to Have Been Engaged to and
Tilted by whiteIaw Reid.


A woman who has known the Dickin-
son family for fifteen or twenty years
said, in speaking of the matter: ANNA
Dickinson is hopelessly insane, in my
opiuion, and these charges of a plot on
the part of her sister are but the widest
sort of hallucination. Her life has been
one of most cruel disappointment and
she has certainly had enough trouble to
turn the mind of any one. During the
time that she was at the height Of her
popularity and power in the country,
while on one of her lecture tours she met
Whitelaw Reid, then poorly paid. strug-
Cling newspaper man in a subordinate
position on little country newspaper in
some little town, i think in Ohio.
Found u New Love with Success.
@She was favorably impressed with mis-
ability aud admired him greatly person
ally. When she returned to New York
she saw Horace Greeley, with whom she
had great influence, and induced Mr..
Greeley to give Reid a.position on The
Tribune The friendship between her
and Reid soon ripened into love and they
became engaged. Reid was a brilliant
fellow and went rapidly to the top. When
he reached the top he broke his engage
ment with Miss Dickinson to marry the
daughter OF New York millionaire. She
was never the same woman afterward.
The experience destroyed to certain ex-
tent her confidence in human nature aud
she became soured.

Eighteenth regiment of the y. G. P. re.

noon to-day. The Tenth regiment will
remain and guard the coke works in the

working, and it is believed that by this
evening half of the number now at work

were seventy men working at Morewood
yesterday, three less than Thursday.

General Manager Brennan, OF the Me-
Clure company, stated last evening that a
general attempt to start all of the works
in this vicinity would be made Monday.
If the attempt to start the works proves a
failure, il is very likely that wholesale
evietions will take place and all the occu-
pants of the company houses will be
turned out. 1t is expected that the present
occupants CT the houses Will ouer resist
