session In Relating Life Story

Paris, July 20.--The thoughts of all
Parisians today were occupied solely
| with the opening of the trial of Mad
| anne Caillaux for the murder of Gas
| ton Calmette, editor of the Figaro. The
proceedings started at noon in the pal
ace of justice, Judge Albanel acting as
president of the court.
The dramatic setting of the affair,
involving political intrigues in which
| the prisoners husband, former French
premier and minister of finance, was a
prominent figure, was just to the taste
Of the French public Added to this
was the rumored threat Of royalst
"hot heads to create a disturbance
during the trial, and extensive pre-
| cautions were taken by the govern
ment to prevent an outbreak.
Long before the opening of the pal
ace OF justice crowds defying the
drizzling rain assembled i'm the vicini-
ty and special forces of police were
called to keep order. But few places
were left for the general public in the
courtroom, which for the most part
was allotted to press representatives
| and baIristers.
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
banel called loudly, Bring i'm the ac-
cused."
Madame CailIaux Appears.
Republican guards opened small
door in the wall of the court room be-
meath a bust Of the Goddess of Libcr-
~, and Madame Caillaux stepped into
the centre of the tribunal and then en-
tered the prisoners inclosure. She
stood with eesy downcast and shoul-
ders bent, timid looking figure in
black.
The judge in a clear voice said:
What is your name?'
The words "Hcnriette CaillauX,"
could scarcely be heard.
AS the prisoner remained standing,
the judge said You may sit down"
