so extraordinary swindle that 1t Will
doubles become historic. A woman,
Nine. Therese Humbert, was at the
head of this. She was born on small
farm near Toulouse. She married the
son of a senator who was supposed to
inherit a large fortune. On the
strength of this she began to borrow
small sums of money whenever she
was in difficulty. But the story was
disproved and she found herself deep
ly in debt. 1t was then that she In
vented her famous story Of the Craw.
ford millions. She stated that In 1877
there died at Nice rich American by
the name of Robert Henry Crawford,
leaving Therese his entire fortune Of
$40, 100000, In recognition of the fact
that few years before she had saved
his life.
Trick Well Played.
Shortly after this nephew APP
peared who said that he knew Of a
The Globe-republican., 1906-08-16

cious story circulated about her he re-
turned to his home and demanded that
she take more care. She listened to
him, her head erect, her eyes flashing,
and then. drawing a revolver, shot him
dead.
She was not arrested and lived on
