Paris, July 27-Testimony in the
trial of Nine. Henriette Caillaux for
the alleged murder of CASTOR Calmette,
editor of the Figaro, was completed
TODAY. Counsel for the prosecution and
defense will sum up tomorrow.
While Henri Bernstein, the play
wright, was giving his deposition today
the applause and hooting caused such
an uproar that Judge Albanel had the
court cleared and suspended the sit
tings. The playwright abandoned all
somblance of courtesy, addressing the
former premier and husband of the
prisoner as "Caillaux' without any
prefix.
"We have Just witnessed the French
treasury committing felony by ap-
prcpriating will and turning it over
to .Caillaux," he said. "Then we have
seen ministers of state come here and
declair, in order to cover up their
former colleague. thar diplomatic docu-
ments accepted with thanks by the
president of the republic, are forgeries.
Either President Poincare is feeble
minded or his ministers have lied"
