The Sensation of the Hour.
An Overflowing Attendance at the Trial. Madame Humbert's Marvellous Versatility. (Received To-day, at 9.10 a.m.) Paris, August 9. Crowds are waiting outside the Palace of Justice, and the precincts of the Court are overflowing. M. Labori is defending the Humberts. The charges include forgery and obtaining money by false pretences. The existence of Crawford's brother is the crux of the entire case. During the President's resume, Madame constantly protested her honesty, and that ehe was the victim of usurers. She promised to tell, later on, where Cmwfords and their hundreds of millions of francs were. Throughout, Madame displayed the consummate skill of an actress, being threatening, arrogant, pathetic and saroastio, by turns. Jt The public are disappointed at Madame's evasion of her promised revelations. |
