A silent battle between two women
one fighting with the last ounce oil
her strength against conviction on
charge of murder, the other charged
with being indirectly responsible for
disclosures which led to the killing
was presented today during the trial
of Nine. Caillaux.
Swinging far from the actual charge
that Nine. CaflIaux murdered CASTOR
Calmette, editor Of LIE Figaro, the
trial today developed into series Of
tests of the veracity of the statements
Of Nine. Gueydan, divorced wife OF
Caillaux that she had nothing to do
with the famous "Ton 10" letter print
ed by the editor Nine. Gueydan was
called to the stand and the battle be-
tween the present and former wife of
the ex-premier was on.
Between exchanges Of angry flashes
between the two women, they played
for the sympathy Of the crowded
court room, the judges and the jury.
Nine. Gueydan told of her marriage
to Cailiaux and their divorce, looking
at Nine. Caillaux in the prisoners box
as she mentioned the latter. He said:
"We lived on terms Of utmost In
timacy both OF heart and mind. We
were completely happy. My wife was
the most tender, the most thoughtful,
the most attractive companion pos
sible, being at the same time per-
feet associate, wiGe-awake and we'll
informed"
OF his marriage with Nine. Gueydan
he has merely said it was never
happy one.
The disappearance Of private letters
from his desk, the demand that they
be returned and then the burning
was one OF the incidents of their
lives.
Nine. Gueydan declared that she
married Caillaux In 1906. She was
formerly the wife Of M. Dupre, tax
collector in Paris, but upon her d.
vorce from him, resumed her maiden
name Of Gueydan. 1t was In 1903
that a crisis was reached in their
married life. They were then at Ma
mers, from which district Caillaux
was returned to the chamber Of depu-
ties. Nine. Gueydan again told OF the
burning of the letters at the Caiilaux
home in Paris in November OF that
year, Nine. Gueydan swore that she
had made no copies OF these letters
which were from Caillaux to the then
Nine. Rainouard, his present wife.
There was a reconciliation at this
time but in 1910 divorce proceedings
were Instituted. A divorce was grant
ed in 1911. after agreement had been
reached between husband and wife.
Nine. Gueydan denied the state'
ments Of Andre Vervoort, news2a'
per man that she had sought an in
terview with him and asked advice as
to the publication OF private letters
written by Caillaux which she held.
Throughout the testimony OF her
husbands former wife Nine. Caillaux
allowed no word Of Nine. Gueydan to
escape her. Nine. Caillaux appeared
tired and worn after her ordeal OF
four days in closely following the tes-
timony of all witnesses and occasion
ally questioning them herself. But
she continued to jot down notes anu
by gesture or the mere expression OF
her eyes express her approval or dis
approyal of all that was said.
