Paris. July 22.-Joseph Caillaux, former premier, again today was the central figure nthe trial of his wife Nine. Henriette Caillaux. charged with killing Gastoa Calmette, edtcr of the Figaro. The court rco om was crowded to it's utmost capacity in the expectation of sensational revelations arising from M. l-abOTis closing ultI matum of last night when he declared he would refuse to plead unless a full statement was made by the govern ment regarding documents which it was alleged were important enough tt crush Caillaux.
 On the opening of the court the pro edcurator general said he was author ized by the Government 10 declare the documents referred to in yesterdays testimony did not exist. Instead. therefore. of utterly diserediting the expremier, the incident ended in his triumph
 When the proeurator general re- sumed his seat, M I.abori counsel fir Mime, Caillaux, said:
 We consider the incident closed 7
 M Chenu replied sarcastically:
 "The incident is closed 10 the salts faction of NJ caillaux, but to my mind 1t was nothing but a clever di- version most opportuney arranged. and I admire the skill with which i was arranged. It has pleased M. Caillagx to transform a criminal trial into the trial of a political cause Somehow as the result of circum- stances which escaped my oompre' hension we reach this paradoXical issue that Caillaux comes out of the proceedings with a certificate of dis interested patriotism"
 The radical leader followed the case with the closest attention. Oc- casi naly he would look tenderly in the directio of his wife with an en- couraging smile or gesture
 Twice during the session today there were exciting scenes Once when M. Chenu declared it did not become M. Caillaux to endeavor to spoi the grave which his wife had made. the ex-premier sprang forward and exclaimed:
 Since I must take notice of what this lawyer has said, l will ask him h he will take personal responsibility for his words"
 When the uproar which this utter ance accustomed had subsided NJ. Caenu proceeded q take the entire Responsibility. You cannot menace me here"
 M Caillaux did not interpose fur ther in the proceedings until Au- gnste Ayrfl, political editor of the Figaro, in his deposition declared that early in November. 1913, Nj. Gail Faux had stopped him in the lobby CT the chamber and asked how much longer Calmette was going to con iinue his eannaign. He gave an eva slve answer and M. Caillaux then said to him: "You know I am a crack shot go every day to the shooting gallery and get bulls eye every tlme."
 The ex.Dremler leaped to his feet ahd demanded to be confronted with the Witness. The two stood face to laee at the bar M. Caillaux affirmed ''at he had no recollection of ever saving such a thing; that Avril main 1lned with equal determination the eAactitude of his testimony. Finally 'he two men withdrew and the matter resolved itself into a question Of re- liability.
