Expert CounterfeItcr.

The Paris correspondent Of the National
IntelligeDcer gives the following account Of
an extraordinary criminal trial in the Court
Of Assizes, which has created no little in.
terest in France:
A man by the name Of Giraud is char
ged with connterfeiting the bills of the Bank
Of France TO tho extent of several hundred
thousand francs, and the proofs are over
wbelming that he carried on this trade with
impunity during eighteen years, from 1s43
spent twenty years of his life in the United
States, where he was connected with differ
ent bands of counterfeiters, and doubtless
there learned the art which since bis arri-
val in France be has turned to such profita-
bic account. So perfect were his limitations
of ono hundred aud two hundred francs
notes Of the Bank of France that the off.
GERS of the Bank themselves had no means
Of detecting them except by comparison
Of numbers and dates. Giraud had purchas
ed handsome chateau in one of the inter.
Tor departments, lived in splendid style
was on visiting terms with the most honor
able families Of tho neighborhood, and had
married highly respectable-lady, although
it now transpires he has a wife and seVera
children in America. One Of the most ex
traordinary features Of this case is that the
authorities were cognizant Of the frauds OF
the Bank from the beginning Of Giraud's op
erations in 1912, and the Bank itself paid
thousands of couuterfeits, all from the same
press, without being able TO lay hands upon
the forger. The discovery was made by nc.
cident. Among the intimates of Giraud
was one of the Paris Commissaries of Pol.
ice-rather dangerous friend for count
erfeiter-and this officer, after several years
Of unsuspecting companionship, one day
found out that the mysterious source Of the
fraudulent bills which inundated the EN-
pire was no other than Giraud. The Com
missary carefully followed up the clue, OBJ
tanned irretragable proofs of Giraud's guilt
and then made the arrest. The arrange
ment Of the evidence (what th" French cal
the obstruction" Of the easel has occupied
a whole year; which delay, however, is Of
very little consequence to the culprit, who
is certain to spend the rest of his life in the
Igalleys; the penalty Of his crime being 10
France perpetual Imprisonment with hard
labor.
