The Palais ds Justice was early this
morning surrounded by largs crowds anx

A heavy force of municipal guards pre

distant points, the railroads treating the
trial as they would a national holiday.
To the right of the judges was the pris

Frederic Humbert was the picture of a
miserable man. He bore a haggard expres
sion, showing more despair than defiance.
His scanty beard haa become very gray.
Emll d'Aurlgnac has grown cadaverous
looking and his brother, Romaln, still looks
ths typo of the sleek promoter.
Mm . Humbert had a whispered confer
ence with her counsel, Maitre Laborl, who
defended Dreyfus at the Rennes court-martial,
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
occupied 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 cou'd be heard through
out the court room. When asked where she
lived she answered, "In prison."
No Bar-prises Develop.
Ths Interrogation of Mme. Humbert fur
nished the chief Incident of the day, but
failed to develop any surprise 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 dossier, reviewing her family antece
dents, she waved Maitre Laborl aside and
rising with notes In her hand Insisted on
directing ner own case.
Judge Bonnet Inquired about her eccen
tric father, who assumed ths title of
"Count." Mme. Humbert emphatically up
held the family character. When the judge
stated that Romaln d'Aurlgnac had fol
lowed his father's example In assuming
the tlt'.e of "Count d'Aurlgnac." Romaln
half arose and exclaimed; "It Is false; It
is false."
Questioned about the various Inheritances
which she claimed to have received, the
witness answered with apparent frankness,
saying she had received large presents.
When the court demanded the exact details
regarding ths 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
