TRIAL OF RUMBERTS BECINS e Notorlous French Family Face Judge and Jury in Oourt. THOUSANDS CLAMOR FOR ADMITTANCE Railroads Run Excursion Trains Into Paris Loaded with People Anxlous te See Famous Defendants Who Promise Sensation. PARIS, Aug. 8~The notorious Humbert family today faced a judge and jury to meet the charge of having perpetrated what ex-Premier Waldeck-Rousseau descrfbed *as the greatest swindle of the century, nvestigating Magistrate Leydet in May ided to commit Therese Humbert, her ,. Frederic, and her brothers, Ro- main and Emlle d@Aurigna tor trial on the charges of forgery, the use of forged documents and swindling. He @iamissed the cases against Eva Humbert (Therese's daughter), and Marle Daurigna her zter, Public curlosity, which has followed the fortunes of the famlily since the days of .} soclal brilllancy, is sgain intensely rought up, the chief Interest centering in Grande Therese," who has promised 1o produce at this trial the mysterious ‘American millionaires, the brothers Craw- ford, on whom she based her story of an inheritance of §20,000,000, which she put for- ward as the security for the loans she ob- tained, amounting to it §10,000,000. Crowdas Clamor for Admittance. The Palals de Justice was early this morning surrounded by large crowds anx- fous to gain admittance to the court room. A heavy force of municipal guards pre- served order. Many excursions came from distant pointy, the rallroads treating the trial as they would a national hollday. To the right of the judges was the pris- oners' dock, ralsed four feet above the level ©of 'the room and sflhoudting the faces of the prisoners against the dark background. They were brought In through a subter- ranean passage leading to the court room. As ‘they entered every eye was stralned toward them. Therese Humbert came first, then her husband, Frederic, followed by her Dgothers, Emile and Romain d'Aurignac. Mme, Humbert's face was pale from her Jong confinement. Her whole bearing, as she coldly surveyed th tators, indi- gated scorn and defiance. She wore a bes eoming steel gown and a dainty round hat, bearing & cut steel ornament and a cluster of white roses. Frederic Humbert was the plcture of a miserable man. He bore a haggard expres- slon, showing more despair than deflance. His scanty beard has become very gray. Emil &'Aurignac has grown cadaverous looking and his brother, Romain, still looks the type of the sleek promoter. Mme . Humbert had a whispered confer- ence with her counsel, Maitre Labor!, who defended Dreyfus at the Rennes court-mar- tial, while the indictment was being read. There was a large array of counsel, repre- senting the numerous Interests on both sides. The early hours of the hearing was occupled by the reading of the Indictment, the formal pleading and the selection of the jury from the regular panel. Mme. Humbert frequently interrupted the reading of the indictment with scornful ex- clamations which could be heard through- out the court room. When asked where she lived she answered, “In priso; No Surprises Develop. The interrogation of Mme. Humbert fur- nished the chief incident of the day, but fatled to develop any surprises or bring out the whereabouts of the mysterious Crawford brothers, her statement consist- ing mainly of vague declarations of her honesty, As the judge read extracts from the dossler, reviewing her family antece- dents, she waved Malitre Labori aside and rising with potes in her hand insisted on directing her own case. Judge Bonnet inquired about her eccen- tric father, who assumed the title of “Count.” Mme. Humbert emphatically up- held the family character. When the judge stated that Romain d'Aurignac had fol. lowed his father's example In assuming the title of “Count d'Aurignac,”” Romain | half arose and exclaimed: is false.” Questioned about the varlous inherltances which she claimed to have recefved, the witness answered with apparent frankness, saying she had recelved large presents. When the court demanded the exact detalls regarding the presents she replied: “All will be explained,” and she warmly main- tained it would be supplied at an opportune time. Later her calmness in putting off her disclosures excited outbursts of laughter in which judges and speotators joined. Offers to Produce Crawfords, Respecting Crawford brothers, claimed: “I repeat that the brothers exist.” “Then, where are they?" Judey “Thelr presence will be made known In due time,” replied the prisoner amid an outburst of laughter. “It is false; it she ex- Crawford inquired the Woman’s Nightmare pure.

There were probably 3,00 persons on the bleachers and the roar made by the falling timbers created @ panic. People rushed down the stairs and into the playing space.
