Chenu. counsel for the prosecution,
was making plea to the jury, asking
for her conviction for the murder OF
Editor CASTOR Calmette. She was car

Her collapse came when Chenu pic

and demanded verdict Of guilty with
death on the guillotine as the penalty.
Great crowds beseiged the Palace

The fate Of Nine. Caillaux probably
will be known before night. Betting
on the outcome today was general.
It was influenced greatly by the
course that her husband, ex-Premier

the trial. The prevailing belief was
that because of his injection of politi-
cal issues into the trial the defendant
could hope for nothing better than a

MOVING PICTURES OF state Farm.
Chairman H. B. Warner, of the state
prison board of directors, was at
Raleigh arranging for series of
moving pictures to be taken of the
splendid 7,50O-acre state farm in Hall
TAX county, on Roanoke river, with a
view to showing to the people of the
state without any cost to the prison
management or the state, through the
moving picture shows, some idea of
what splendid proportions that farm
has assumed
Just back from the farm, Chairman
Warner, says he never in all his life
saw such fine crops. There are 1.5OO
acres in sofa beans, COW peas. alfalfa
and clover, $500 acres in corn-5 600
acres in all being under cultivation
Ihere are nine miles of dykes that
protect these crops from river over
flows.
