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.

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.

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 closure Mrr e. Caillaux stood with her eyes downcast and her shoulders bent, a timid looking figure In black. Judge Albanel in a clear, pleasant voice ask ed her name Her lips moved and the w*rds "Henriette Caillaux." could scarcely he heard As the prisoner re mained standing, the presiding Judge said. “You may sit down.” The three Judge* assisting President are Achille Katz, Louis Da gonrf and Henri Roty.
