REPUBLICANS ARE EAGER ID GO HOME Are Scheming to Delay the Swayne Impeachment MANY BILLS ARE LAID OVER Seems Now That Subcommittee Will Be Asnointed to Hear Evidence
 In the Impeachment
 Matter.
 
MANY BILLS ARE LAID OVER

Washington, March 26.-(Special) )-It is becoming more apparent daily that the desire of republican members of congress to get away from Washington and get a long start in the presidential campaign will lead them to ignore the high priv ilege of the Swayne impeachment case and send the matter over to the next ses- sion. The present outlook is that the house will pass the impeachment resolution and pass the matter up to the senate.
 There was, however, talk in the house side today to the effect that Representa- tive Gillette of California the only re- publican member of the subcommittee on judiciary who rendered a report favorable to Swayne, might not hand in his report to the house at this session, in which event the case would rest in its present status and even the house would not consider it.
 A number of republican senators were over on the house side this afternoon seeking to find some way to delay the inn peachment proceedings until the next ses- sion All of them said they thought there was no doubt that a way would be found out of the difficulty, and that the present session would not be heightened by long hearing of the case. The resolution of Sen ator Hoar, chairman of the senate judi ciary committee, is now before the sen ate rules committee and will probably be favorably reported by that committee. The resolution anticipates the passage or an impeachment resolution ,y the house, and the report Is expected to answer af- firmatively the question of the right of a committee to hear testimony independent ly of the entire senate.
 Will Simplify the Case.
 This will somewhat simplify the case, as a committee could sit during the re- cess and hear testimony, Judge Swayne being always present and then report 10 the full senate, which, with the testi- monv all before it could, within two or three weeks, listen to the arguments of the house managers and Judge Swayne's attorney and vote upon the case.
 At any rate. regardless of the strong report in favor of impeachment filed by Representative Palmer of Pennsylvania, there seems no disposition on the part of congress to give the impeachment pro- ceedings the precedence 1t deserves. The whole session has been taken up in pigeon-holing every conceivable class of legislation which might have an effect upon the presidential election.
 Bill after bill has been laid over until after the election" no other excuse be- ing offered There will be a gloomy feel Ing on the republican side next winter if the returns should show a failure on the part of the people to appreciate stand pat

London Criminal Resorts to
 GruesOmG Methods
MURDERER HAD EIGHT WIVES
Kept Body of One in a Trunk Encased In Cement for Six Months, Then Committed
 Suicide.

London, March 26.-Public interest con- tinues to be largely absorbed in the ex- traordinary developments following the suicide of a man named George Crossman. On the night of March 2S Crossman, who was living in the respectable suburb of | Kensalside, killed himself to avoid ar rest by the police, whose suspicious had been aroused regarding the contents of trunk which Crossman was sending away from his house.
 On opening the trunk the body of woman was found eneased in cement. An investigation proved that she was mur- dered about six months ago, and that she was one of Crossman's eight wives. Five of his wives were traced and found alive, one Is dead, and two are missing. The identity of the body found in the cement cannot yet be ascertained on account of decomposition and injury to the skull, which had been split with an axe or sim liar instrument.
 May Have Had More.
 The police believe 1t possible the inves- tigation may prove that Crossman adopted similar method in ridding himself of other superfuous wives, of which 1t is suspected he may have had several who have not yet been traced.
 Though only about 30 years old, Cross mans career rivals that of the most fam ous criminals. Under various aliases he led double and even triple married life, posing successfully, according to the fancy of the moment as an engineer, ,compositor wiginaker or bookmaker His chief means of support, however ap- peared to have been derived from his wives, several of whom he secured through advertisements. In 1898, Cross man was sentenced to five years imprs- onment for bigany, and when he killed himself he was on ticket-of-leave. Yet his neighbors have always regarded Crossman as respectable man, who led a quiet and uninteresting life
 Five Wives and Many Children.
 At the time of his suicide Crossman had five wives besides several children The discovery occurred through the sus- picion of lodger to whom Crossman let rooms at Kinsalside. For several weeks the lodger had noticed an obnoxious odor and had complained of 1t, but Crossman attributed it to the drains. At this pe- riod Crossman was living with one of his many wives who occupied the same room where the dead body of another wife was concealed in a trunk.
 The lodger traced the odor to the trunk and Crossman agreed to send 1t away. Just as the gruesome load was being lifted into a cart, the police appeared. Vita a cry, Crossman started to run. For three-quarters of a mile he fled for his life. The police gained on him, and as the foremost of his pursuers were on his heels. Crossman pulled razor from his pocket and cut his throat from ear to ear. Death was almost instantaneous.
