NINE. CAILLAUX Is FREED
Wild Disorder in Courtroom Follows
Her Acquittal-Embraces Counsel.
Crowd Calls "Murderess."

Paris.-Mme. Henriette Caillaux was
acquitted by a jury in the court of as,
size of the wilful murder on March 1G
last of CASTOR Calmette, editor of the
Figaro. The verdict was returned aft,
er so minutes elaboration. The an.
nouncement vas followed by the wild.
est tumult.
Nine. Caillaux staggered and then
threw her arms about the neck of her
counsel, Fernand Labor. Her hair fell
over her shoulders and her hat fell to
the floor.
The spectators stood upon desks and
chairs. Cries of "Caillaux! Labori!''
and "Caillaux, Assassin!" mingled.
The din was d%eafening. Several
groups of barristers came to blows and
the republican guards, trying to sepa-
rate them, joined In the melee. The
spectacle of Labori and Chenu, the lat
ter counsel for the Calmette family,
embracing each other, Gained the tu-
mutt for a moment, but 1t was redou-
bled when they left with Nine. Gail.
laux.
Unable to make himself heard, the
presiding Judge, with the other judges,
marched from the room. The advo-
Gates took complete possession of the
court; some mounted the judges desks
and h%arangued the crowd. The guards
then cleared a portion Of the room and
comparative quiet vas restored. Judge
Albanel returned and read the tudg-
ment, ordering the release of Nine.
Caillaux.
Shaken with emotion, Nine. Call
laux departed by the witness door.
She covered her face with her hands
as If to shield herself from the furious
cries of "Murderess!"

fish Borderers firing into a mob in
the streets of Dublin. Seven of the
wounded are expected to die. Among
them r. three women and a boy of 10.
The affray was the result of a gum
running exploit of the nationalist vol
unteers, aided by a mob composed
largely of women and youths. A con-
signment Of rifles, said to number TO-
900, was landed at Howth, nine miles
from Dublin, from a private yacht. The
nationalist volunteers cut the tele.
graph wires and stopped travel on the
Dublin roads, and, according to re.
ports, sent away most Of the rifles, to-
gether with 10000 rounds of ammuni.
tion In motor cars.
A battalion of the Kings Own Scot
fish Borderers was ordered to capture
the arms when the authorities heard
the volunteers were bringing them into
the city. The soldiers encountered a
detachment Of volunteers at Clonmell
bridge, Soon a great crowd collected
and followed the troops, jeering them
and cheering for John Redmond and
home rule.
Finally the mob began throwing bot.
ties and stones, injuring several sol.
diers, To the attack the battalion re.
piled with a scattered fusjllade. In an
instant the street was covered with
wounded, while terrified men, women
and children ran in all directions.
