 T am convinced" said Dr. Cal mette, that if Mime. Caillaux had simply opened her mouth, if she had only said to my brother. Is it true that you have in your possession the private letters? my brother would immediately have treasured her. Ii you knew how scrupplous was my brother with his word. He would have removed Mime.

 Attempts have been made here to defile the memory of my brother in speaking of the manner in which he made his fortune. As the guardian of his children, it is my duty to say that my brother worked hard all his lie. His work did not enrich him greatly, for in his profession one rarely be- comes wealthy. But everybody knows he formed strong and deep friendships and it was through these friendship ps that his fortune grew. It is common knowledge it was as a result of the legacy of M Chauchard the proprie- tor of a great department store) that my brothers fortune(was made. There is no reason to blush for it.
 Dr. Gaillard. Mime. Caillaux's s dentist, testified that she had made an ap- pointment with him for two days af.er the tragedy. Her physician, Dr. Mer- cigny, also gave evidence.
