pateh, but it brought a report that Gen

gpective staffs and an escort of 1000
cavalrymen.

PARIS, March 17.—The French Gov
ernment had decided to issue a decree of
expulsion against Ferdinand Pinney
Farle and Charlotte Hermann, his latesy
“affinity,”” when the couple left for

French Minister Collapses As He
Visits Wife Who Slew His
Persecutor.
PARIS, March 17.—Mme., Henriette
Caillaux, wife cof the French Minister
of Finance, was formally charged to-day
with the murder of Gaston Calmette, the
brilliant ed'tor of Figaro, whom she
shot to death last night in Tetaliation
for that newspapers' attacks upon her
husband, and for publishing a love let
ter written to her by M. Caillaux during
their courtship, in violation of an “‘un
written law'’ of France.
While the formal charges were being
filed against Mme. Caillaux, mobs pa
rading the streets of Paris demanded
the arrest of the Minister himself and
his execution.
There was a pathetic and dramatic
scene when the Minister of Finance was
allowed to meet and talk with his wife.
Tears rolled down the cheeks of the
statesman as he embraced Mme. Cail
laux. The Minister was in a state of
a.most complete collapse as he repeated
over and over again:
“Why did you do it? You have rained
my life, but I forgive you.”
Mme. Caillaux also broke down and
sobbed. As the couple embraced and
wept, they heard through the barred
windows of the jail the shouts of the
mobs in the streets,
Crowd in Frenzy.
Aroused to frenzy by the crime and
by Ihe eulogies of the dead man printed
in the morning papers, hundreds of per
sons clamored about the St. l.azare
Prison and the Caillaux residence,
screaming:
“Caillaux is a maurderer; Caillaux
should be killed!’
So menacing became the hostile
crowds that the Prefect of Police pro
vided additional guards for the prison
and a bodyguard for the Minister
When M. Caillaux arrived at the
woman's prison in an automobile he
showed that he had spent a sleepless
night. His face was pale and lined, his
hair was rumpled, and his cothing was
wrinkled. He twitched with nervous
ness, and was manifestly glad when the
iron gates of the prison separated him
from the mobs which were moving rest-
Yessly through the streets.
| Minister Morally Responsible.
~ While Mme. Caillaux was the actual
slayer, and did not deny it, yet the
newspapers generally held that the Min
ister was morally responsible.

arove>d by the personal political cam
;mign the editor was carrying on against
ler husband, but this was increased to
frenzy when M. Calmette published part
of a love letter which M. Caillaux had
written his wife during their courtship
days. This had been a violation of an
vnwritien law, wiich is regarded as im
mutable in French circles,
