sentenced in default last year to two

COubac. who ran the machine at the
time. testified that Vanderbilt was not
in the automobile and that its only
occupants We're the Duke of Marlbor-
Ough and himself. An affidavit of the
Duke of Marlborough, to the same ef-
feet, taken before the French consul
in London. also was introduced.
An amusing scene occurred when
Coubac finished his testimony. The
justice said that in view of the evi-
dence it seemed proper that the chauf-
feur should :1e brought before the court
as the accused instead of as a wit
ness. and he asked Coubac if he wished
to change places. with Vanderbilt. SO
that the two days sentence standing
against Vanderbilt could be transferred
to him Coubac protested energetical-
ly, declaring he had come before the
court as Il witness and not as an ac-
cused person. But the judge insisted
upon the transfer. whereupon Il cOun-
sci for Vanderbilt also interposed a
strong protest.
Il insist" he said. that there be
definite decision whether my client is
guilty or not guilty. 1 am opposed
to any transfer of the sentence" The
judge then announced the adjournment
of the case until March IS. saying that
Coubac would he cited then not as Il
witness but as the accused.

.SWindIe of Gigantic Pro-
portions Charged in
New York.
BAND OF ITALIANS
A Hundred Substitute
Bodies Said to Have
Been Used.

New York, Feb. 19.r-By an astound-
ing series of frauds carried on for
years "a band of Italians has swim
died a dozen life insurance companies
out of more than $i,OoO,oOO. One of
the conspirators is said to have re-
ceived at least $25ODOO as his share
of the booty.
Scores of men and women were in
volved III the plot, which was carried
on for 10 years under the noses of the
insurance officials and was discovered
only by accident.
Perjury, forgery and perhaps muir
der were committed in this gigantic
swindle. AS many as 23 substitute
bodies were passed off on a single in
surance company. and it is possible
100 substitute bodies were used dur
ing the long series of frauds. 1t will
be necessary to open scores of graves
in the process of unearthing the eX-
tent of the incredible swindles.
Leader I'm TOmbs.
Joseph Trepani, an undertaken. is
alleged to have been the head of the
conspiracy, and is i'll the Tombs. Al
though said to be worth more than Il
quarter of a million dollars, the au-
thorities have refused to accept as
sureties several men who have offer
ed to furnish the required $4,000 bail.
BartolOmeo Cironi, who secured the
subjects and furnished the dummies,
furnished $4,000 cash bail before the
gravity of the situation became
rested were DR.. Albert Loewitt. DR..
Francis Mucci. Fabia D'Allessio. Emil
10 Circni and Michael Pasca, an Ital-
ian banker.
Among the insurance companies
that have been victimzed by the
swindlers are the John Hancock, the
Union Central. the Washington Life.
the Prudential. the Equitable, the
Provident Life. the Tradesmen's of
Newark. the Mutual Life and the Met
ropolitan of Cincinnati.
Bodies to BE Exhumed.
Following the Indictment of the
members of the gang of Italian insur-
ance swindlers the district attorneys
office will apply to the supreme court
for orders to eNhume the bodies of
more than a score of men, women
and children, who were practically
bought from their families and
friends upon promise of payment of
funeral expenses, and then buried in
the names of persons the conspira-
tors had obtainedi insurance upon
from more than dozen companies in
this city.
The plan of the swindlers was to
find a man about TO die and persuade
him to make an application for life
insurance policy. When it became
necessary to submit to physical eN-
animation by doctor, healthy man
was used as a dummy. On the death
of the sick man the necessary proofs
