HUMBERT FAMILY
IN PARIS.
No Demonstration Today on Arrival of
Disconeolate Appearing Prisoners.
PARlS. December 29-—The members
of the Humbert family. who were re-
cently arrested in Madrid, in connec-
tion with the great safe frauds in this
city. arrived at the Orleans railroad
station here, at 7:40 o'clock. this morn-
ing. There was no demonstration. The
prisoners were conducted to the Con-
clcrgcrie prison.
The arrival of the famous fugitives
was devoid of sensutionul incidents.
for the French police had chosen an
hour for their return here when Paris
was only half awoke. The crowd at
the railroad station was comparative-
ly small. but II large force of police
and soldiers. mounted and on foot. was
drawn up in front of the station, and
guarded all the street approaches in
order to prevent the possibility of a
popular demonstration. A number Of
the chief functionaries of the prefec—
ture Wei-c on hand to personally super-
intend the prisoners‘ arrival. The men
and women of the Humbert party were
kept separate during the trip from
Madrid, to Paris. and they were
brought rom the 11am in sepniatc par-
ties The women came first leaning
on the Aims of officeis Madame Hum-
bcrt was dicsscd in black. and was
veiled. but she was readily recognized
by her stout figure, Her young daugh-
ter. EVIL was the most pathetic look-

Madame Humbcrt‘s fabric. Mlle. Mar-
ie did not show the bravado which shc
exhibited at Madrid but was pale and
'Ippcarcd to be disrtuisolntc. Frederick
Humbert. Madame Humbert‘s husband,
looked completely broken down. Ro-
maine D'Aurignnc and his wife. Emile,
maintained the calm. defiant attitude
they had shown throughout. M. D‘-
Aurignuc still wore a Spanish bcnrd,
which had scrvcd him as a disguise.
The party passed through double
lines of police to the carriages in wait-
ing. Dctachuients of mounted police
otiiccrs surrounded the vehicles, which
were drivcn at n rattling pncc through
the gathering crowds to the Concier-
zcric, when» minuic preparations had
been made to rcccivc the prisoners.
The return of the Humberts to Paris
is the absorbing topic for discussion
throughout the city, indccd throughout
France. as no event since the return of
Dreyfus has aroused such intense in-
tcrcst. All classes of society are equal—
