HUMBERTS FOUND
 GUILTY OF FRAUD
THEREsE AND FREDERICK EACH SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS lM- PRlSONMENT AND TO PAY A FINE OF 100 FRANCS.

Paris, August 22.-One of the greatest criminal trials in the history of France eliminated tonight when the jury in the court of assizes rendered verdict or guilty against Therese and Frederick Humbert and Romain and Emile D'Au- rignac.
 After a brief deliberation the court sem fenced Therese and Frederick Humbert each to five years Imprisonment and to pay a fine of 100 francs; Emile D'Aurig- nae to three years and Romain D'Aurig- nae to two years.
 The verdict was reached after the jury had been out for four and a half hours When the verdict was pronounced The rese and Frederick Humbert. weeping, embraced one another.

 Frederick Humbert acted as though dazed by the shock of conviction. His ldCt dSSulueu Il BHdSllS pdliois
 Romain DAurignac preserved an air of stold indifference. The sentences came as the continuation of day of sensation al interest. The chief event preceding the verdict was the dramatic revelations which Therese Humbert had so long promised, In the making of which she disclosed the same genius which has marked her entire career, as indicated by her selection of the mysterious name of Regnier, as the name figures In the dark page of the Franco-German war as the Intermediary between Prince Bis marck and Marshal Bazaine, for the sur render of Metz. The court and specta- tors listened to the recital with an amazement amounting to stupefication. It was evident that Therese Humbert sought to bring into the case one of the supreme events of the war of 1870 for the purpose of introducing another mys- tery to confuse the court and delay the result, but court, jury and spectators alike were unconvinced, as her references to Regnier were most vague and did not explain his relationship to the younger Crawford.
 Although Therese did not indicate whence Regnier's millions came 1t was apparently part of her plan to create the impression that Regnier had re- ceived a vast sum for inducing Marshal Bazaine to surrender Metz

regular beet train during the marketing
Of this years crop. The committee ap-
pointed at the farmers meeting two

found that the scarcity Of cars at the
shipping points during the past season

at ali. The cars were unloaded promptly
upon arrival and there were always lot
Of empty cars in the yards at Rocky Ford
and along the line. The heavy traffic on
the railroad. however, prevented these
cars from being distributed promptly
among the shipping points where they
were needed, thus causing the farmers
much loss Of time and a deal Of extra
handling Of beets. To remedy the diff
Guilty beet train is suggested which
shall make regular daily trips.
