Paris—The thoughts of all Paris
ians were occupied today solely by the
opening: of the trial of Mme. Caillaux
tor the murder on March 16 of Gaston
Calmette, editor of the Figaro Pro
ceeding starteed at noon in the Pal
ace of Justice, with Judge l»uis Al
banel acting as president of the court.
The dramatic setting of the affair,
involving political intrigues in which
the prisoner's husband, a former
French premier and minister of fi
nances, was a prominent figure, were
j 'st to the taste of the French public.
Added to this was the rumored threat
of royalists hotheads t*» create a dis
turbance during the trial and the ex
tenssive precautions taken by the gov
ernment to prevent an outbreak.
Crowds in Drizzling Rain.
Pong before the opening of the pal
ace of justice crowds, defying the
drizzling rain\ had assembled in the
vicinity and special forces of police
were called out to keep them in order.
Fro i an early hour long lines formed
on the Place Oauphine and the Bou
levard dti Palais, hoping to he lucky
enough to secure the few places left
for the ‘Teneral public In the court
room which had heen for the most
part alloted to press representative*
an barristers.
Couldn’t Cheer or Hiss.
Mme. Caillaux herself was condeted
from the prison of the conciergerie tc
the court by a secret passage, so that
those outside had no opportunity of
cheering or of hissing her.
The other leading figures in the case
however, were the objects of demon
strations. Among them were the pro
curator general, Jules Herbaux, in
charge of the prosecution, and Fer
nand Tyahori, the famous advocate,
whose face is known to everyy one,
owing to his connection with the
Dreyfus trial.
Violent Article.
The Figaro today came out with a
violently worded article from the pen
of Alfred Capus, the recently chosen
acadeeniician, or “immortal,” who now
occupies the editorial chair formerly
held by Gahnette. In It he declares:
"The party which assaslnated Cal
mette is going to do its best to defile
his memory, for which purpose it has
stopped at nothing and has not scrup
led to violate confidences, thus giving
a torestaste of what is in store.”
The article continues with a pane
g\ric on the dead editor and con
cludes:
“Cailloux, Go On!”
"Those who have slain him from be
hind would like to transform him Into
a man involved in shady finance—a
,>pOrate
“Caillaux, go on! Do not put your
self out. You have well sharpened
teeth, a heavy jaw. an appetite excit
ed by the smell of blood; but the hon
or Calmette is wrought in marble. You
will not bite into it!”
As soon as the Jurors, who had been
drawn by lot in a private room, and
the four judges composing the court
had taken their places, President Al
hanel called out loudly:
“Bring in the acuused ’’
Republican guards then opened a
small door in the wall of the court
room beneath the Goddess of Liberty
and Mme. Caillaux stepped out into
the center of the tribunal.
The strong light from the windows
opposite, or perhaps the masses of
fares turned toward her in absolute
silence seemed to startle the accused
W’oman and she hesitated on the
threshhold and reached out unsteadi
ly to catch the arm of the guard at
her right.
After she ered the prisoner's en
