him that icy We're about to be pub
Iished. He said that when he married
Ame. Raynouard he knew sor the
Hrst time w.at uue happiness was.
.tn ..ne, tionate Wife.
Sac WAS a most tender and al
fc.,.ouate wife, said NJ Caillaux.
We sWed in tne Closest communi Il Of
heart and mind. Ny wife took alarm
4. the dangers my political campaign
exrosed me 10. She tried to dissuade
ne from entering Doumorsue's cab
met. The income tax sac said, ..ad
! formidable ad.. d..ersaries, and | should
be the object o. fierce press cam
paigns.
AS she loretold. the attacks recon-
menced with red ,Ubled fury, but re-
fused to adopt these means employed
by other politicians to stop them;
pursued my way undeterrred. | could
not believe that tley would publish
! the Thy Joe letters although l had
been warned by Pierre Mordera, by
the Princess OF Monaco and the Prin-
cess of N1esagne-Estradera.
A ter the publication Of the Thy
! lie" letters, NJ. Cai!lauXS first wife
telephoned him to clear herself of any
suspicion he might have had that
s1e was responsible for its divulgence.
cat that time continued NJ. Gail
laux, Il firmly believed that other let
ters would be published My wife
shared my belief, which was confirmed
by information from number OF
persons.
At that time NJ Caillaux worked
himseL. up to a violent fit Of indig-
natl n as he denounced the calum-
nies leveIed against his honesty.
Never Mind Anything.
Never have l touched a single
stock with my personal fortune wlile
minister of finance" he declared,
Returning to the Thy Joe letter,
he described the effect Of its publica-
ton on his wife. Finally he became
so impregnated with her fears that
other letters would be published that
he consulted President Poincare, VINO
did his best to reassure MIN and ad-
vised him to consult lawyer.
"iMy lawyer told me-, continued NJ
Caillaux, that nothing could be done.
then said to my wife: BE assured
l will go and smash Calmette's snout
myself After that l was relieved
in mind but my wife, on the other
hand, was depressed.
"At the police station, on my way
home from the senate, | learned of
the tragedy. Ny wife's constant
prayer was: 1 hope he is MT serious
ly aurt; l meant only to give him a
lesson
NJ. CaillauX asked for ten minutes
rest, and went over to the dock, took
one of his wife's hands and kissed il
fervently. NJ. Caillaux now entered
upon the purely political phase of his
testimony. The excitement OF the
listeners reached fever heat. Some ct
his statements were greeted witt
boots and cheers despite the orders O,
the presiding judge to arrest any dis
turber.
TIE campaign carried on by The
Figaro, he asserted, was meant tc
strike him down at any cost because
he stood for the income tax and the
interests behind Figaro opposed thai
measure o. fiscal reform.
"Tne Times" he said, "was con-
demned for publishing things about
Pernell which were not ~ue If We
had English laws in France there
would have been no Figaro cam
paign."
The president of the French re-
public, Raymond Poincare, figured
prominently in the case today when
his deposition, taken by Judge Fori,
chon, the first president of the cour
cf appeals, was read.
