--Womsn's Sentence Only Five Years.
Special ca,te Despatch to The Sun.
PARIS, Aug a. Nine Therese Humbert,
her husband, Frederic, and her brothers,
Romano and Emile Daurignac, the notori-
GUS swinders, were to-day found guilty
by jury Of forgery and fraud in ct1nec-
ton with the alleged Crawford" millions.
Nine. Humbert and her husband we're
each sentenced to five years solitary con-
finement and to pay n fine Of 100 francs.
Romaine Daurignac was sentenced to three
years, and his brother, Emile. to two years
solitary imprisonment The jury found ex-
tenuating circumstances for all the ac-
cused.
M. Labor entered reasons for requesting
a suspension OF judgment. He declared
that, no complaint having been formulated
against the accused, no forgery existed
because no one had been wronged. The
Advocate General demurred to M. Labori's
objections.
When the verdict was rendered Nine.
Humbert kissed her husband and then
shook hands with M. Labor. The public
outside the Palace of Justice received the
verdict favorably. M. Labori entered
an appeal and the cass will come before
the Court Of Cessation, the prisoners mean
while remaining in the Concierge.
The promised sensation developed when
Nine. Humbert. who spoke for an hour
in her own defence, told the jury that "Craw-
ford" was really M. Regnier Maitre Labor,
her counsel, explained that Regnier acted
the part of agent or go-between at the sur
render of Metz. Regnier figured in the
trial Of Marshal Bazain for treason. NJ
Labor added that Regnier's fate was I'M
known. though he had been sentenced
to death.
Nine. Humbert informed the jury that
she only learned Of the real origin of the
Crawford millions a day before she and
the other members of the family fled to
Madrid When she demanded the scrip
from young Crawford, he said it was in pos
session Of his father at the Spanish capital
Nine. Humbert then threatened to prose-
cute him, whereupon he said his name was
Regnier The elder Crawford refused to
return the papers. Nine. Humbert added
that when Gustave Humbert. the father Of
her husband, died she took the fortune to
NJ. Poincare, the then Minister Of Finance,
and showed him the money and securities,
requesting him at that time to prevent the
"Crawfords" from embargoing it.
Upon the strength of her story Of an i'm
mense fortune left to her by a "Mr. Craw-
ford, an American" which could not be
used until certain conditions of the will had
been fulfilled, Nine. Humbert borrowed
millions Of francs and lived for years in the
best society The money and securities
were supposed to be in safe in the Hum
bert house, but when il was opened
after the family fled TO Madrid nothing Of
value was found. The creditors recovered
a little through the sale of the Humbert
furniture and paintinpa

BUILDING LOAN CO.'S PROPOSITION.
It Asks Shareholders to Reduce Their Claims
by 20 Per Cent.

The New-York Building Loan Company in an
effort to avoid having the receiver petitioned for
appointed has sent a circular to all sharehold-
ers asking them voluntarily to reduce their claims
against the company by 20 per cent. Justice Dugro
has under advisement application for the ap-
pointnent Of receiver made by Attorney Gen
eral Cunneen and based on the report Of referee
that there is a deficit of $4,000.
The circular states that in reducing their claims
against the company by the amount named the
shareholders will lose nothing. the money will
create surplus. which VIII be credited to the
holders in proportion to their holdings, while it
will wipe out all Of the alleged deficit. 1t de-
cares that the present action brought by
political place hunters whose handling of the
property of the company if they could once get
IT into their possession, would speedily dissipate
the great bulk Of the company's assets"
Secretary Buzby, of the company. said yester-
Of the company, and that about 50 per cent Of
the holders had already signed indorsng it.
He said that there was no understanding with
that if there deficit. there would be no
reason for appointing a receiver. He did be
that the plan would be held violation the
injunction which prohibited the company from pay
ing out receiving money.
Several lawyers who have followed the case said
if successful, would have any eHect the de-
cision of the justice. which would probably be
made the report of the referee and the argu-
presented by counsel II considered
after the question Of appointing a receiver had
been argued.

Thursday. 1t is said here that the object of the
meeting is to make agreement against buy
ing American grain certificates issued by
American inspectors. The largest grain dealers
Of Hamburg and Bremen will be present. The
dealers of all the western part of Europe COM
plain that the shipments not up to the re-
quirements of the certificates. and that large
losses have resulted therefrom. The corre-

that American grain should only be bought as
from other countries. on sample. and 1t is sug-
gested that the various governments might be
asked to establish inspections this side of the
