 LAWYER LAb0RI Strikes Deadly Blow at Sue cessful Rival by Handing
 Over Letters CAILLAUX FACING AWFUL PREDICAMENT He Gan Save Wife of Conviction for Murder by Consenting to Pubii-
 catinn of Letters. But It
 Will End His Career.

Paris. July 24,-The Cailleaux love letters reman unreda and Joseph Callieau is still at bay Parls IS asking whether tomorrow he Will make the supreme sacrofice Of un- conditionally consentng to the pub lication of all the letters. By so do- ing he may obtain his Wife's acquttai of the murder of Editor M. Calmette, but only at the expense of his own banishment from political and soclal life. If he continues his desperate efforts to keep any or all of the let ters secret, he will undoubtedly help convict his wife of the crime she au- mits she committed principally to save him.
 Asked in open court today whether he would agree to the letters pelng read, Caillaux evaded the question py throwing himself upon the discretloh and wisdom of Victor Chenu, princl- pal lawyer for Calmette's family.
 Meanwhile amazement grows at Mime. Gueydan's brilliant coup in co., liding the fatal letters to the counsel for the defense. Labori, after falling into the trap, lamely tried to get her to take them back and to assume the responsibility for handing them to Chenu. but the Calmette lawyer blocked the game and Labori has ha- ally, undertaken to "collaborate" wlth Che,nu to diad out what Is to De done with the letters.
 While repeating the names or twelve willing witnesses, Mme Guay- den has plunged the man who dlvofc- ed her into a terrible predlcament and has struck heavily at the woman who runiaed her first marriage hap piness.
 Again Bests Labori!
 Maitre Labori, the lawyer whose astuteness has been unchallenged' Captain Dreyfuss in the word-famous treason trial of several years ago, stood non-plussed and beaten before the court when Mime. Guedan checked him and refused to take back the fatal letters at today's session.
 I.abori came into court this morn ing with the letters in his possession Mime. Guedan, who, as a witness TOT the prosecution, had thrust them into his hands for the public reading yesterday, did not appear on tune.
 Gendarmes were sent for her, and Labori and Callaux and his wife awaited her appearance in the court
 in most obvious agitation. At One point, the crowd in the court room hissed them. Then Mime Gueyda ap- peared.
 As she took the stand, Labori handed back the sheaf of lncrlmlnat- ing letters she had tricked him 1n- to taking yesterday for pubic reading.
 "Only two af the letters have bearing on this case" said Laborl. T return them to you, Mime, Gueydan.
 "No, I refuse to take them back" cried Mme. Gueydan, and she con tinuued her refusal, demanding that Labori should read them before the court.
 The famous lawyer fell back upon his rival, M. Chenu, who is counsel for M. Calmettes family at the trial.
 Turns Tide for State.
 The latter took the letters and read them, to decide whether they should be given in the to the court. Mime. Gueydan retired from the Wit ness stand in triumph and amidst the cheers of the crowd.
 Unquestiaoaably she has turned the tide of the case and had done more than all the rest of the witnesses of the prosecution to harm the case of Callaux's wife.
 M. Barthou, former premier and noted statesman of France, took the stand and testified that his friend, paid the former princess to get evil dence against M. Caillaux.
 Henry Bernstein the author, also a friend of the slain man, gave opin- ion to the same effect.
