good faith, but not today. Not while /

saw the bonds she claimed to have de-
posted within the famous safe, and
Nine Therese replied:

counted them. tell you the fortune

clare it."
Nine. Humbert persisted throughout
in her vague statements, and the in
terrogation concluded without any
definite information being extracted
from her. Part of the time she was
attended by a doctor, who administer
ed restoratives.
The examination of Frederic Hum
bert (Therese's flusband) followed. He
made insinuations against the minister
of justice, NJ Vale, and ex-Premier
Wa1deck- Rousseau. Questioned as to
the whereabouts of the Crawford mil
lions, he replied that he knew nothing
about them.

Nine. Thesese.
The hearing was adjourned to Mon
day, the court stating that the affairs
