She recovered after an hour and al
though in the dock the remainder OF
the sitting, seemed scarcely conscious
OF what was going on.
The evidence after the letters
wandered off into discussions by SUR
Eeons as to whether M. Calmette
could have been saved by an immedt-
ate operation. A remarkable fea-
ture of the proceedings is the quar-
rel which has arisen between tho
presiding judge of the court, Louis
Albanel and Louis Dagoury, one of
the three other judges sitting on
the bench with him, as a result OF
which a challenge to duel has been
sent by Judge Albanel through his
colleagues.
Preparations for the duel, how
ever have been suspended until de-
cision of the Minister of Justice has
been rendered as to whether they
may fight The two judges sat side
by side today without speaking to
each other. Prof Pierre Dolbet OF
the University of Paris, provided an
other moment of excitement when he
refused to take an oath to tell the
whole truth because he said he ha1
leen approached by a person whose
name he had promised not to re-
veal. This person had mentioned
the namc of LabC"i as having sen.

and said the person lied a violent
eIiercation follow ed between Maitre
Iabort and Prof. Dclbet. The latter
ended the incident by leaving the
stand without divulging the name Of
the person.

A peculiarly French atmosphere
was lent to the affair by the quarrel

tecital before the public caused th}
prisoner to fall unconscious and to
remain for long time in swoon.
The session of the trial was sus-
pended. and beyond tho reading of
the letters little progress was made.
1t was generally expected that the
trial would extend far into next
week.
The challenge to a drol was sent
by Louis Albanel who i: preotd

quarrel between the Judges arose
out of an incident which occurred
at the Palace of Justice.

there would be recess. The Figaro

The two Judges, after going into
their private room during the recess,
