Two of Judges viii Fight a
Duel Over Case; Other
Bloody Battles Due

Paris, July 25.-Furious at the charge
that ae was showing partiality to ex-
Finance Minister Joseph Caillaux and
his wife, Judge Albanel, presiding at
Nine. Caillauxs s trial on charge of muir
dering Editor Calmette of Gle FL
garo," today challenged Judge Louis
DagOury, one of his associates on the
bench, to duel.
The affront so much resented by Al
banel occurred during Fridays discus
sion concerning the disposition of the
letters given by Caillaux's first wife
TO Fernand Labor, Nine. Caillaux s
lawyer. Albanel interposed in it sew
eral times. Dagoury listened in silence
to a number of these Interruptions.
Finally, leaning toward the presiding
Judge, he whispered;
"Sir, you are dishonoring us.
Albanel flushed but returned no an
swer at the time.
Today, however, nis seconds, General
Dalstein, former military governor of
Paris, and Monsieurs Bruneau and Della
borie, called on Dagoury.
Duels Are Certain.
Other duels were looked for growing
out of the trial. In particular, it was
deemed certain that Caillaux and At
torney Chenu, representing the Calmette
family, would fight.
Nine. Caillaux tainted in court today
during the reading of one of her hus-
band s letters to her before their mar
rtage.
Two of the letters were read by At
torney Labor. They were not the ones,
however, which Calmette was supposed
to have had in mis- possession. Both
were love epistles without political sig
nificance and it was not easy to, under
stand what connection LabOri thought
they had with the case.
One ended: Thousands and thou.

1t was at this point that Nine. Gail
Iaux, who with pale and twitcking face
and trembling hands, had been listening
to the reading, collapsed. A recess was
nurriedly taken and the prisoner wa;
carried from the courtroom to be re
vived. Caillaux was much moved.
