but sets aside a different time for the

D'AULBY CONVICTED.
Sentenced to One Month in Prison for
Fraud.

Tours, Jan. 14.-"Count' D'Aulby
de Gatigny was convicted today and
sentenced to one months imprison-
ment. AS he already had spent more
than a month in Jail while awaiting
trial, DAulby was given his freedom
The spectators applauded the findings
of the court. The judge announced
that he had found DAulby guilty of
fraud in connection with the sale of a
Corot.
The "Countess" DAulby was acquit-
ted. D'Aulby was accused by the
Duchess of De Choiseul-Praslin with
fraud in connection with the sale to
her and her late husband, Charles
Hamilton Paine of Boston of collec-
ton of pictures. The duchess with
drew her complaint after the case had
been in the courts for several days but
the public prose cutor refused to stop
the proceedings.
The defendant claimed that if the
pictures were not what he represented
them to be it was because he had been
deceived.
