Justice clamoring for the 100 seats
set apart that the public might see
and hear the trial of Nine, Marguerite
Steinheil, the "red widow" charged
with the murder of her artist husband
and her mother-in-law.
The trial began at noon. but twelve
hours before that time hundreds were
on hand to try for places. When
dawn came the streets were filled
with a surging crowd, which the po-
lice handled with difficulty Shortly
atter sunrise the select 100, the fore
most of the mob, were admitted to the
courtyard, but the remainder stayed
in the hope that the authorities would
relent and admit more.
The announcement that no women
would be admitted caused a furore
throughout Paris and the court has
been swamped with requests for spe
cial tickets for the wives of high gov
ernment officials, society leaders and
actresses.
The enormous interest Is generally
attributed to the expectation that
Nine. Steinheil will reveal her init
mate relations with prominent off
cials. She was for years a prominent
figure in political and social life in
Paris and the public looks for a
glimpse behind the social scenes.
The death of former President Felix
Faure, who was in the apartment OF
Nine. Steinheil few hours before he
died of apoplexy, it is anticipated, may
become involved in the trial.
