PARIS. July 25.--A duel between
Judge Albanel. president Of the Court
Of Assizes. and one Of his associates,
was in prospect today as the latest
sensation in the trial OF Nine. Joseph
i Caillaux for the murder Of CASTOR
Calmette, editor of lie Figaro.
Judge Alhanel today sent his sec
onds to First Associate Judge Louis
Dagoury because of a remark the lat
ter made while on the bench during
the progress Of the trial yesterday
AS a result of the bitter political
feeling and the sentiment which has
been stirred as the trial has progress
ed many expressed the belief that the
challenge today was only one of
series which may follow.
The challenge of Judge Albanel fol-
lowed the intimaton by Judge Da-
goury that the presiding judge was
showing partiality to Nine. Caillaux
and her distinguished husband, the
former prime minister. Leaning over
toward Judge Alhanel during the ses-
sion, Dagoury whispered: Sir, you
are dishonoring us"
At the time Judge Albanel flushed
in anger, but as those in the court
room did not know what Dagoury had
said. il was believed the incident
would be passed Albanel paid but
scant attention to his associate dur
ing the remainder of the session, and
today despatched his seconds.
General Dalstein, former military
governor Of Paris, NJ. Bruneau and M,
Delaborie acted as Judge Albanel's
seconds. II was during the discus
sion as TO the disposition Of the now
famous letters held by Nine. Gueydan
