WILL UNDOUBTEDLY APPEAL

II ARTS. Aug. 23.-The result Of the
Humbert trial has caused a gen
eral feeling Of relief, many, espe-
cially among the lower classes, having
feared till the sast that occult infiu-
ences would succeed in procuring yer
diet of acquittal. The intense interest
taken in the trial is shown by the fact
shat the presses Of the newspapers
couiT not reel off special editions fast
enough. The papers were Immediately
snapped Up and none reached the out
living quarters of Paris until quite late
in the evening. when they were eagerly
bought at three and four times their
regular price.
Nine. Therese Broke Down.
In spite of her defiant attitude when
being sentenced Madame Therese
Humbert broke down last night on her
arrival in the Conciergerie prison ana
had a long crying spell. The men OF
the party, though depressed, bore up
better.
Maitre Labor. her counsel visited
Madame Humbert this morning and
found her stul Frustrated. but she OBJ
stinately maintained her innocence and
denounced the sentence as iniquitOus.
She and her husband will undoubtedly
appeal to the court Of cessation on the
ground Of technical Irregularities. II
successful in their appeal they will be
ietried before another assize court, pos
sibly at Versailles.
Lawyers Disappointed.
Emile and Roman Daurignac will not
appeal as owing 20 the time they have

take place. The defending counsel are
greatly disappointed at the result of the
trial. Maitre Labor refused to be in
terviCwed but his colleague. Maitre
Clunet expressed his opinion that but
for the ill-timed and futile revelations
of Madame Humbert, "A general acquit-
tai would have been possible. Several
members Of the jury who have given
interviews. are unanimous IN saying
that the person who did most to secure
the conviction Of the prisoners was
Madame Therese herself, because her
statements irritated the jurymen. The
foreman Of the jury declares there was
no difference of opinion concerning tse
guilt of Madame Therese and her hus-
band, but the jury's decision in the case
OF the two brothers Daurignac was the
result of much discussion. Their con-
domination was based solely on their
completely i'm the swirdling operations
in connection with the Rente Niagere
insurance concern.
Aged Mother Bore Up Bravely.
The aged mother of Frederic Hum
bert and widow OF Senator Humbert,
whose name has been attached in con-
uection with the Crawford swindle,
and with whom Madame Humbert s
daughter and her sister Mary DaUrig
nae are staying. received the news of
the condemnation from a reporter. She
bore up bravely. and Indignantly de-
nOunced the injustice Of the verdict,
declaring that an appeal would be made
To the court Of casa dion. She and Eve
Humbert were permitted to see the
prisoners this afternoon. Madame Lu-
Glen Humbert. a sister of Madame
Therese. likewise maintains a firm be
lief in the latter's innocence, and de-
clares that her father used TO talk oil
Regnier to her mother.
