case premises to be che of the most
famous in the annals of French
courts. rivaling even the great Drey-
fus trial. The first noticeable feat
ure in the proceedings is the celebrity
with which the jury was selected.
Such a famous case in an American
court would require days or even
weeks in securing a jury. but in the
French court it seems to have taken
but an hour CT less.
The transactions conducted by the
Ifumbert family have been termed
the most gigantic swindle OF the
century. InOse now being tried are
frederick Humbert. his wife. There's
sa, and here two brothers, Romano
and Emil d'Aurginac. The woman,
Name. Humbert, was the prime mover,
the others being mere puppets in her
hands. Their operations extended
over many years, and. strange as it
may seem. they secured moro than
ten million dollars from loading
bankers and fnancicrs. The money
was borrowed ositensibly for the pur-
pose Of prosecuting a contest for an
inheritance Of many millions, but
the sums borrowed were used
in binding their victims by a gorge
Gus display of wealth and for paying
evorbitant rates of interect TO their
duros.
Much mystery was thrown around
the alleged inheritance which APP
peared to require the running to
earth Of two mythical brothers of
the name of Crawford. A mysterious
safe which could not he opened and
which was supposed to contain many
millions in bonds and securities, also
p aged an important part in the Pc
formance. while a touch Of romance
was added to the case by a mysteri-
ous marriage which had to be con-
si.mmated with a sister of Mime
Humbert as one CT the principals.
The climax in the comedy has been
reached in the trial. where Nine.
Humbert is the whole show. as she
insists upon running the case for the
defendants il. spite Of the fact that
they have able counsel employed.
Her constant Interruptions of the
court proceedings seem in strange
contrast to the demeanor that must
be observed by defendants in courts
Of this country, but such conduct
seems to be customary in French
courts. Nine Humbert still insists
that the Crawford brothers really eX-
ist. and that all will be explained in
due time, but meantime the trial S
proceeding and the defendants will
soon be where explanations will not
AVIAN.
