Letters Offered in Evidence
1t was thereupon decided to place
three of the letters in evidence but
to read only one of them. This would
be done, it was announced, after re-
cess.
The question of the reading of the
letters gave rise to another scene
when the court reopened.
Judge Albanel, who had talked over
the matter with lawyers for both
sides during the recess, called Mme
Gueydan to the stand and Maitre La
bori at once addressed her saying:
These letters win not be read by
me, Madame. Do you wish them
back?'
No"
Well then, no one shall have them
except myself. If you have heard of
me being caught in a trap, you are
mistaken"
Maitre Labori appeared to regard
Nine. Gueydan's seeming reluctance
Of yesterday and her impulsive consent
that he should have the letters to sup
press or read them to the disadvant-
age of Nine. Caillaux. He asked her
again:
Madame. do you wish to take back
these letters?"
NO, sir"
Maitre Chenu; Give her the letters
to tear them up"
Judge Albanel disposed of the ques-
tion for the time being by saying the
letters would be confided provision
ally to Maitre Chenu, as representing
Nine. Gueydan, and to Maitre Labor
the representative of Nine and M.
Caillaux.
The judge took occasion to say that
in accordance with the jurors and the
attorneys the arguments would not be
finished tomorrow, nor would the
court sit on Monday.
