The Humberts.
CONCLUSION OF A GREAT TRIAL. FIVE YEARS’ SOLITARY CONPINEMENT. The trial hag ended at the Palace of Justice, Paris, of the charges of fraud against Frederic Humbert, Therese Humbert, his wife, and- Remain d’Aurignao and Emile d’Aurignac, her brothers. At the close of counsel’s addresses Madame Humbert made a long address. She said that the real name of the brothers Crawford (the supposed plaintiffs in actions for the recovery of fictitious millions) was Reghier. As nobody in Court recognised the name, Maitre Labori, counsel for Madame Humbert, explained that Regnier was the intermediary be tween Prince Bismarck and Marsha! Bazaine in connection with the surrender of Metz in 1870. The jury found the Humberts guilty of fraud and forgery and the d’Aurignacs guilty of complicity. After taking into account all the extenuating circumstances, the Humberts were each sentenced to five years’ solitary confinement, and were fined a hundred francs. Emile d’Aurignac was sentenced to two years and Remain d’ Aurignac to three years’ imprisonment.
