Of Imprisonment.
Madame Humbert arose, amid an in
tense hush throughout the court room
to make her promised developments. She
seemed to be laboring under a great eff
fort and paused after her first emphatic
statement that the Crawfords and the
millions existed. Then she began form
ally:
Gentlemen of the jury: When I
wanted the address of Mr.. Crawford he
answered:
'''You cannot know me. 1 am not
called Crawford. l am not known by
that name
Then what name,' l asked.
HE replieda My fortune was made
during the war of 1870 by re-investments
of rentes which were then very low. and
a large quantity was bought here His

tween aMrshal Razaine and the Germans.

one Regnier, who appeared to me to be

to me:
BE careful, Madame, not to nocnfuse
me with the notorious Regnier.'
THAT is how l suddenly learned Craw-
ford's name. I never told my husband.
swear on my daughters head. This is
the first time he hears the name
Addressing the presiding judge, SMadame
Humbert went on, eXclaiming:
what 1 say is true. The Crawfords
exist. the fortune exists and l, Madame
Humbert, will bring actions against the
Crawfords''
A prolonged movement among the spec
tators followed the statement which
caused a general feeling of disappoint-
ment, owing to the inconclusive nature
of Madame Humbert's declarations.
Maitre Labori then read a sketch of
Regnier, stating that Regnier acted as
tthe Intermediary between Prince Bis
marck and Marshal Bazaine. Maitre
Labori said he had been unable to learn
what eventually became of Regnier. AT
ter being condemned to death by court
martial Regnier disappeared.
This man Regnier was first heard of in
connection with the revolution of 1S4S,
in which he played doubtful part. In
September, 1870, the Empress Eugene,
then at Hastings, England. entrusted him
with a mission to Prince Bismarck. Reg
nier later went to Metz, introduced him
self to Marshal Razaine and urged on
Bazaine that the war should have ended
after the battle of Sedam and that his
army, which was useless at Metz, ought
to maintain order in the interior. Bazaine
thereupon accepted the idea of treat
ing with the Germans.
Regnier's object was simply to induce
Razaine to capitalation without raising
any difficulties. The surrender of Metz
followed Regnier's completely was proved
in 1874 when Regnier, during his absence
was tried and condemned by court mar
tial held in this place. He died in Eng
land in 1886"

The Meeting at Wilson.
lsnecial to News and observer.l

Especial to News and Observer)
Wilson, ~ c., Aug. 22.-The news that
Col. John S. Cunningham was to address
the tobacco farmers in the court house
here this afternoon spread rapidly over
the county and today long before the hour
set for the meeting groups of farmers
could be seen standing on the corners
discussing the situation. An observer 60
ing among these groups could see written
on the faces of all determination to
make stubborn fight to throw off the
yoke which is at present resting so heaV-
lily on them. 1t seems to be the general
opinion in Wilson county and among those
who have given thought to this subject
that the best solution is a diversity of
crops Put aside the culture of tobacco
and raise other crops until the price OF to-
bacco will justify its production.
The meeting OF the Farmers Protective
Association was called to order at l o'clock
by Dr. H. F. Freeman. He gave the OBJ
iect of the meeting and urged that all give
ear to the words of Col. Cunningham so
that they would be able to appreciate
more fully the conditions which confronted
them
Il ~
the speaker of the occasion, Col John S.
Cunningham, in his usual pleasant graceful
manner. The speech of Col. Cunningham
was an able presentation of the deplor-
able conu.,.ons which now confront the
farmers OF the tobacco growing belt in
eastern North Carolina. The speaker
urged the farmers to realize fully their
conditions and to accept with vigor the
only means of relief, viz: organization.
1t was impossible for the farmers to live
at the present price of tobacco.
After Col. Cuningham's speech the work
of organizing the Wilson branch of the
Farmers Protective Association was taken
up. The farmefs were anxious to enroll
their names and join in efforts to make
this new movement a success. All went
away feeling that they were one step near
er their rights and realizing if a compact
organization could be secured success was
assured.
