 Mime. oueydan Strong Witness.
 Mme. Gueydan then left the box, having completely dominated by her remarkable personality the whole pr9- eedure. For three hours she spoAa. and her voice gained strength and carried to the reulotest corner of the room, She more than held her own against the great advocates. LabJri and Chenu, and the judge gave up try ing to direct her deposition.
 In that time she laid bare many of the secrets of her life with M. Caillaux. She told of his Jason and of his throwing himself at her knees and asking her pardon She described her methods of defense against what she termed -the Machiavellian maneeuyres of an unfaithful husband.y She testi : Ted that he even. threatened her life. Tnsn she left him and hoped he would toiloW her but he did not, and, she added. with a dash of her eyes and a tightening of her lips:
 You know why -.
 Murmurs of Applause.
 The sympathies of those in the court room she gained rapidly. with telling phrases and shafts that seem ed to sink deep. There were mur- murs of applause despite the ad- monitory rapping of the judges pen cil and threats to clear the court. When she returned to her place, many crowded around her with outstretch- ed hands and cries of "Bravo!"
 NJ. Caillaux, returning to the bar. ElfA. -fU ,~. ing Mime. Gueydan for the letters. The caiumny does not come from us, put from persons who used methods against us never used against others. But that is a diversion. I return to that poor woman there" pointing with dramatic gesture to the dock where Mme. Caillaux sat auiveEng with her emotion With all my strength will defend her. I ought to be beside her, nothing shall separate us."
 Prisoner Couvuised with sobs.
 As her husband was speaking the prisoners eonyulsive sobbing could be heard at the farthest end of the room. She sat crouching, her head buried in her handkerchief and her body shaken by nervous tremor.
 M. Caillaux went on with wild ges- lures to depict the years which had preceded his marriage to her. "I made but one mistake" he said, turning to Mime. Gueydan. that was in marrying you"
 Monsieur Caiilaux. you are dis graeing yourself" responded Mime. Gueydan. calmly.
 '.No. madame, I am not disgracing myself Our characters were so op- posed that a common life was impos- sible. My dignity forbade me to live This sharp passage provoked an up- roar.
 "l.et me fnish,r shouted M. Call laux. waving his arms.
 You did not want divorce. New ertheless, whatever wrongs were on my side were handsomely compen- sated for. I gave you 1s.00o francs alimony. You had not a centime when l married you: l gave you 2eo.O0G francs"
 Chorus of erosns.
 A chorus of groans greeted these remarks. NJ. Caillaux whirled around and began to address the courtroom He was immediately called to order by the jud@e hut he continued to re- -ite the circumstances of his divorce turning frequently towards his former wife.
 Both he and Mime. CaiIlaux believed he said, that the Thy Joe" letter publication would be followed by the publication of the other two
 Gentlemen'-he turned to the jury T am a profoundly unhappy man I had been a profoundly happy mar since my second marriage" Mime. Caillaux's sobs at this stage redoubled and became painful to hear.
 Are you going, questioned NJ Caillaux of Mime. Gueydan. Ito force us to trumpet forth in this place all those things that we avoided saying at the time of the diyorce?'

 NJ Caillaux left the stand. What. ever you may nave done I forgive low as he passed Mime. Gueydan or his way back to his seat.
 The court hummed with expectation when ex-Premier Jean Louis BarthoI walked to the stand. After he had re- corded his high opinion of the integ' rity and patriotism of Gaston Cal mette, whom he had known for twen. ty-ffve years he denied ever having told M Caillaux that Mime.
