We're three incidents which today stir
red the emotions In connection with
the trial of Nine. Caillaux for the mur-
der of Castor Calmette
\ peculiarly French atmosphere was
lent to the affair by the quarrel of the
judges. This was added to by the
piquant contents of the former pre-
mier's love letters, whose recital before
the public caused the prisoner to fall
and to remain for long
time in n swoon.

progress was made. and it was gener-
ally expected that the trial would ex-
tend far into next week

In the letter M. Caillaux, writing to
the present Nine. Caillaux, before his
divorce from Nine. Gueydan. referred
to the happiness he would feel when he

While the reading was going on Nine.

crying bitterly. Her sobs could be
heard all over the court room.
