row.
PARIS, July 27.-JOseph Caillaux,
ex-premier Of France, today projected
himself into the spotlight again at the
trial of his wife, Nine. CaillauX, for
the murder of Editor CASTOR Cal
mette. While his accused wife sat in
a pathetic, huddled heap, still suffer
ing from a collapse that caused her
TO swoOn in her cell early in the day,
the former premier created turmoil
| that drowned the admOnitiOns of the
| judges.
The trial was running smoothly
with the defense presenting testimony
/ to show that Calmette's life might
have been saved had the physicians
attending him acted promptly when
! CaillauX leaped To his feet and rushed
/ TO the witness.
| Il demand an opportunity TO refute
the allegation made by NJ. Flagey,
cried the statesman. Without waiting
for the court to give or withhold per-
mission, CaillauX launched into an at
tack upon Flagey, journalist en-
plOyed by lie Figaro, OF which Cal
mette was the editor.
Calls it a Lie.
Earlier in the trial Flagey had
testified that Caillaux had made him
an offer of 5000, to bribe him to
testify in behalf of Nine CaillauX.
It's a damnable lie" shouted
! CaillauX. 4 never tried TO bribe him.
The truth was that Flagey approach
ed me and asked for bribe. I
! spurned him like the dog he is" By
that time the court was in an uproar
! Friends and foes of CaillauX were
/ cheering, and jeering.
! The quarrel became so bitter and
the confusion SO great that court was
adjourned. CaillauX renewed the
conflict when the session was re-
sumed.
Declaring that he concerned him
self not only with the trial events but
also with outside matters, he protest
ed against an article in today's Figaro
charging him with subOrning wit
nesses. He then hanSed Judge Al
banel letters saying lie Figaro was
trying to work for the Hungarian
government.
Reverts to- Fortune.
! Reverting TO the fortune left Cal
mette by Nine. Boursin, CaillauX
cried:
There's only one thing worse than
losing ones life; its to use it to at
tack a woman and live on her gener-
osity."
Chenu jeered at Caillaux for ignor-
ing court procedure and ironically ad-
dressed him as monsieu lie Minister,
accenting the last word. Uproar
again broke out and Caillaux retired
from the court
Nine. CaillauX sat unmOved during
the quarrel between her husband and
lChenu, and gave no notice when DIR.

The trial of Nine. CaillauX came tC
. dramatic halt this afternoon wher
