THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CASE

The more the world reads about the
Crawford Humbert case the more it
wonders at the amazing swindle.
There is nothing more remarkable in
fiction. That peasant girl should have
originated a fraud which brought her a
wealthy husband far above her in
social station, which yielded her the
magnificent sum of $11,OOOOOO in the
course of the twenty years she eluded
discovery and which deceived the
shrewdest bankers in Europe and the
brightest lawyers of Paris is one of
the strangest things that have oc-
CURED in this or any other age.
1t is now about 20 years ago that
Therese Daurignac, a peasant girl in
France, announced to her neighbors
that she had been left a fortune of $780,
100000 by wealthy American by the
name Robert Henry Crawford She
said that gratitude was the considera-
ton for the great legacy. Crawford,
according to her story, was taken i'll
on railway train, and she went to his
assistance, and afterward nursed him
back to health. He lived, however, but
a little while. She had in her possess
sion his will duly signed and witnessed.
1t was generally accepted that her
story was true. NJ. Humbert, whose
father had been Minister of Justice
believed the story and married Therese.
Nothing as yet had been seen of the
oNxrf nd ; 4.
another will was presented, made on
the same date as that which gave the
fortune to Therese. In this Will all
of the Crawford MILLIONS were given to
two nephews of Robert Henry Craw-
ford and to Marie, a sister of Therese,
leaving only a small annuity to
Therese. This last will stated that it
was the desire of the testator that
one of his nephews should marry
Marie. The contest over the wills of
course was carried into the the courts.
and pending the result Of the litigation
it was agreed that the Crawford se-
curities, amounting to 100000, 900 should
be sealed up and placed in the safe in
Therese's, that is, Madame Humbert' S
house. A notary gave a certificate that
the securities had been so deposited.
the French law permitting such GER
tiication without actual knowledge as
to the correctness of 1t.
Madame Humbert was then ready for
borrowing money, and it seems that
she did borrow to the extent, as al
ready stated. Of $l1, O0o. 900, before the
exposure of the fraud came. One
! banker loaned as much 81 100 900
another as much as 81. 100000 and other
bankers various large sums.
OF course the rates of interest
charged were large and that was the
reason the bankers bit so eagerly at
the bait. The litigation over the two
wills was exceedingly earnest at times.
and on more than one occasion Il was
believed that a settlement had been e.
fected. but there We're always new OH

nephews or Madame Humbert. IN the
meantime Madame Humbert lived in

Helped the Poor Woman.

Alfred Hemenway of Boston, the law
partner of ex-Secretary Long, tells this
story, according to the New York Tri-
bune: "a poorly dressed woman sat
alone in a railway station. Attention
was called to her by a man, who ex-
claimed: Here's a poor woman who
has no ticket to her destination. I'll
chip in 10 cents for her. Who'll help?'
Presently he had a hat full of coin, and
announced: She has more than her
fare, but not enough for a shawl. She
needs a shawl: I'll chip in a quarter
for that Again he made the rounds
and again announced: She ought to
have a bonnet; I'll chip in half a dollar
for the bonnet When he made the
rounds the third time, a newcomer en-
tered the station, shook hands heartily
with the woman, and turning to the
philanthropist, said:
Why, Hiram, I'm right glad to see
you and your wife again.
'How's this? asked one of the con-
tributors. Is that woman your wife ??
Yes drawled the philanthropist.
What right have you to collect
money for your wife?' demanded sew
eral.
"'What right have to collect money
for any other fellows wife?' was the
retort that closed the debate"

MIR. BRYAN's PREDICTION.

That is a rather startling prediction
which Mr.. Bryan makes in regard to
Cuba, namely, that she will be the
scene of civil war. owing to the dissen-
sions among her political leaders. II
is to be hoped that it will not be full
filed.
OF course Mr.. Bryan means that civil
war is to be expected in the near fu-
ture, not at some remote time, because
his prediction is based upon signs which
he observed recently in Havana. There
are certainly reasons for thinking there
are troublous times ahead for Cuba.
Her revenues are very small, and must
continue to be for long time. Her
only sources Of income are the re-
ceipts from her custom houses and a
few internal revenue taxes. There is
in sight only about S20000,OOO a year,
and at the lowest calculation it will
take S25, 900 to maintain the gov
eminent on the basis on which the
American military administration left
it.
How is the deficit to be made up?
1t may be said that economy must be
introduced into every part of the gov
eminent. Il is doubtful if the budget
can be got below the sum named if
the present plan of conducting the af-
fairs of the island are adhered to, and
any other plan means local taxation
that would meet with much opposi-
ton.
Where is the money to come from to
pay the Army of Freedom? President
Palma talks about making a loan of
$40,000,000. Could a loan of that size
be f1oated a par and at a rate of in
terest that would not be too burden
some? 1t is doubtful, unless it were
guaranteed by the United States.
Would the United States guarantee a
loan if asked to do so? The chances
are they wouldn't. The feeling is now
strong among the American people
that they have done for the Cubans
about all they can be reasonably asked
to do. 1t is worthy of notice that the
bill making a reduction in the tariff
on sugar imported from Cuba has not
yet passed. although it has been before
Congress for months. 1t is probable
that it will pass in some shape before
Congress adjourns, but the opposition
to it is so strong that It justifies the
conclusion that a request to guarantee
a $4,000 900 bond issue would be re-
fused.
And there ic n fo~ al ~, ko
that wants office. There are not offices
enough to satisfy a hundredth part of
those who want them, and there is
bound to be struggle for them, and in
the struggle all sorts of promises will
be made to the soldiers of the Army of
Freedom who want the money which
they claim, about economy in expendi-
lures about the revenues and various
other things-promise not meant to be
kept. The result will be profound dis
satisfaction throughout the island-dis-
satisfaction that is likely to result in
internal strife.
But, as Mr.. Bryan points out, inter
nal strife will not prove the Cubans
to be unfit for self-government. This
country has had it's civil war and if
the Cubans should have a war of that
kind it wouldn't be satisfactory evil
dence that the nation that was born on
May 20 is to cease to exist. 1t might be
a long step, however. towards the an
nexation of Cuba to the United States
Annexation is what Cuban property
owners want.

came to trial in his court. Indeed, in
all of the preliminary motions, he
seems to have held the scales of justice
very evenly. 1t will be recalled that
he held that several of the counts of
the indictment were bad, thus making
a new indictment necessary.
1t is a pretty safe assertion that the
fugitives would get just as fair trial
in a court in which Judge Speer pre-
sided as in the court of any other
judge. As a matter of fact Judge Speer
is inclined to be merciful rather than
severe. 1t is possible of course that
he feels that Capt. Greene and Col.
Gaynor have not treated his court with
respect, but he would not permit that
to weigh against. them in the trial of
their case.
Our dispatch did not say that the
visit of Mr.. Rose to Washington was
for the purpose of making a PROPOSE
ton for the voluntary return of the
fugitives, but it would not be surpris-
ing if such were the case, and it is
certain that he would make no such
proposition if he were not practically
certain that the decision in Canada
would be against his clients.
