people began to wonder what the final
outcome would be. About this time,
the Crawfords, who, of course, had
never been seen by anyone but the
Humberts themselves, brought suit
in the French courts asking for a
division of the fortune. They appear
ed in court by their attorneys and
the case created great excitement.
Still no one seemed to think of fraud.
| But finally the various bankers
who had been loaning money to the
! Humberts for 20 years began to COM
pare notes and were stunned when
they learned of the enormous sums
which the family had had. They de-
cided to demand sight of the bonds
in the big sealed safe. The Hum
berts refused to open it and the
courts were appealed to. An order
was issued directing the court Of
ficials to open the safe, and, on May
8 last, it was done. The safe was
practically empty. There We're a

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE Humbert
trial was resumed today, but little
important testimony was brought out
by the prosecution.
possibly the world-has ever seen
is that for which the Humberts are
now brought to trial.
For 20 years this swindle was kept
up and confiding bankers and others
are loosers to the extent of $12, 000.-
600. Practically nothing of this great
amount has been recovered.
In 1873 Mile. Therese d'Aurignac,
daughter of a prominent man in a
provincial town, was married to
Frederic Humbert, son of a famous
Paris lawyer and politician, who, in
his day, held cabinet positions. 1t
was said at the time that her dowry
was $20,00O,000. This sum, it was
said, was in the form of an inheri-
tance from a rich American, Robert
Henry Crawford.
Just as Nine. Humbert was about
to enjoy her fortune there appeared
in Paris, the story goes. two young
men, Henry and Robert Crawford
Americans, who announced that they
were nephews of Robert Henry Craw-
ford. They produced a will dated
the same day as that which left the
entire fortune to Nine. Humbert, il
which the fortune was evenly divided
among the three and in which a de
sire for the union, by marriage, o
the Crawford and d'Aurignac famil
ies was expressed The Crawford
said that they did NOT wish tn
money, but desired to carry out thei
uncle's wishes in regard to the mar
rage.
Nine. d'Aurignac explained to then
that she was already married, blu
that she had a younger sister, who
unfortunately, was not yet of mar
riageable age. But the Crawford
were still generous. They agreed t,
