Show Oh, Sir Charles Is Sensitive. London, February 23. An intimate friend of Sir Charles Dilke, writing to the papers, charges Mr. Chamberlain with some responsibility re-sponsibility for Sir Charles' .action in not going into the witness box during the progress pro-gress of the Crawford case. The writer asserts as-serts that it was Mr. Chamberlain's vehement vehe-ment insistance against such a course that restrained Sir Charles from appearing as a witness. He also alleges that the indiscretion, indiscre-tion, of which Sir Charles had been guilty, happened in early life, and consisted of an intrigue with a married woman of light character. Sir Charles, his friend says, is a most sensitive man, and the burden of the accusation nearly oost him his reason. |
