The Humbert Swndlers Who Secured
$10,ooo,ooo.

The arrest of the Humbert family in
Madrid for alleged swindling in connec-
ton with the estate of an American
named Crawford, is one of the most inn
portant captures ever made in criminal
records The Humberts are Parisians,
who on the death of the American, Craw-
ford, received the latter's entire estate
which was said by them to be valued at
twenty millions. The valuables were
kept in n large safe. On the strength
OF the supposed contents of the safe the
Humberts secured property and money
amounting in all to about ten millions.
Soon after they left Paris and then suits
against them followed. Last May the
safe was opened by the police and to their
astonishment the safe was empty save
Valueless papers and a paste diamond.
Since then the police have been attempt
ing to capture the swlndlers. The fraud
has been of international importance, as
for boldness of design and utter fear
lessness In carrying out the design. the
swindle has rarely been equalled.
