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.
