TIL'S POLITICAL ASPECT "Thy Joe" Letters Explained Exciting Scene in Court As M. Caillaux Confronts Figaro Editor. rnris, July 21. Joseph Caillaux held the court for two Intense hours to-day testifying In defense of his wlfo who lat lit the prisoners' enclosure, charged with the killing of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, on March 1G last. The appearance of M. Caillaux was hardl less dramatic than that of Mine. Calilaux yesterday. The former premier, still one of tho most powerful men In France, dominated the proceedings, Imposing upon them his personality and uncommon gifts of lead trshlp. "I accuse myself," he cried In ono climax. "I committed a fault. I should mvself have acted, hut, absorbed Ihy public affairs, I failed to realize tho rnvages Calmette's calumnies had made 3n the soul of my wife." M, Caillaux spoke as It n the cham ber and he gesticulated freely. The trial has now entered upon Its poli tical phase and brings to mind that Cail laux Is the strong man of the radical Kroups now ruling France. He would, ho said, tell the Jury the history of his private life from his llrst marriage down to the sad event which reused his presence on the stnnd. Ho explained the incident of the two letters, which he supposed had been destroyed before his divorce from bis llrst wife. He only knew of their existence when a friend warned him that they were about to be published. When he married Mme. rtaynouard he knew for the first time what true hap piness was. At this, Mme. Caillaux bowed her head In her hands and Fob bed softly. "She was a most tender, affectionate wife," said M. Caillaux. "We lived and live in the closest communion of heart and mind My wife, however, took alarm nt the dangers my political campaign ex posed me to. She tried to dissuade mo from entering Doumergue's cabinet. Tho Income tax, she said, had formidable adversaries and I should bo the object 3f fierce press campaigns. "As she forotold, the attacks recom menced with redoubled fury, but I could lot believe that any one would publish !ho 'Thy Joe' letters, although I had )een warned by Pierre Morder, by the 'rlncess of Monaco and by the Princess if Mesagne-Hstradere." After thu publication of the "Thy Joe" etters, M. Cnlllaux's llrst wifo telephoned 11m to clear herself of any suspicion ho night have had that she was rcspon iblo for Its dlvulgence. "At that time," said M. Caillaux, "I Irmly believed that other letters would e published. My wife shared my be !ef." M Caillaux now violently denounced be calumnies levelled against his bou nty. "Never hnve I touched a single stock )f my personal fortune whllo minister of Snance," ho declared. "Never did a Rourse order come out of my office." Returning to the "Thy Joo" letters, he leserlbrd the effect of Its publication upon his wife. Finally he became so hnbued with her fears that other letters would br published that he consulted President Polncare, who had been one if the witnesses of their mnrringe. The sresldent did his best to reassure him ind advised him to consult a lawver. 'My lawyer told me." continued M. "alllaux. "that nothing could ho dono. t then said to my wife; -He reassured, t will go and smnsh Calmette's snout myself.' After that I felt relieved in mind, but my wife, on the other hand, ivas depressed. "At the police station, on my way .lome from the Senate I learned of the ragedy. My wife's constant prayer was: I hope he is not seriously hurt; I meant inly to give him a lesson." " Caillaux was shaken by emotion and MME. CAILLAUX TELLS HER STORY WITH DRAMATIC "FORCE A.ddresses Court for Three Hours She Declares She Fired At M. Calmette's Feet without a Thought of Murder Her Only Purpose Was to Start a Scandal. Paris. July 20. Mme, Henrietta Caillaux, the. wifo of Jos. Caillaux, once premier of France nnd former min ister of finance, occupied tho prisoner's onclosuro In tho assize court at tho I'alnco of Justice to-day and recited In n dramatic manner tho circumstances loading' up to tho shooting of Gaston C.almotte, editor of tho Figaro, with whoso murder on March Hi she Is charged. Judgo I.ouls Albanel ncted as presi dent of tho court; tho procurator gen eral, Jules Horbaux, had chargo of tho prosecution nnd Fornand Labor, tho noted advocate, who was closely iden tified with the Dreyfus caso, was chlof counsol for tho defonse. Mme. Caillaux held the attention of the crowded court room for threo hours. Slight, almost Insignificant in appenrnnco and possessing nono of tho outward eliarnctorlstlcH of a figure of lomanco she spoko with Krcnt nssur nnce, addressing horsolf In turn to each part of tho room like a lecturer, WUhh MAItSHAU.UI) FACTS. Sho told her story In short, illscon jiuutud suiitoiicoti, but chowed remark showed weariness. 11c asked for ten minute-, rest and during the recess too'; his wife's hand and kissed It fervently. M. Caillaux now entered upon the pure ly political phnso of his deposition, Tl... excitement of tho listeners reached fevi heat. Some of hlR statements were grer. -ed with hoots and cheers, despite lb orders of tho presiding Judgo to nrre any disturber. Tho campaign carried on by tho Flgnr he nsscrted, was meant to strike hi' , down at any cost because ho stood t the Income tax nnd the Interests bohl-i ' the Figaro hated that measuro of Use,: reform. "The Times," he said, "wns condemm for publishing things about Parne.l which were not true. If wo had English laws In Franco there would have been no Figaro campaign." lie had been accused of criminal pre varication in the llochette affair and of treason In connection with tho Franco German treaty. To this he replied: "We nre simple Bourgeois; we have no coronet, but wo will defend our honor and honesty. The postponement of tho Roch ette caso was a step for which I would not hesitate to take tho responsibility even to-day." "I will now show the court and tho Jury," he continued, "the absolute falsity of the charges leveled against my conduct in the Franco-German crisis of 1!)11. During seven months of my premiership 1 went through a violent nnd terrible experience. In my conduct of the affairs I was guid ed by the principle that the great Moroccan empire wns the Indlspens ablo complement of France's African colonies. I did not wish that under tho cover of previous conventions a sort of Franco-German consortium should be established in Morocco. I desired peace for our democracy, but peace with honor." M. Caillaux said he knew that the Figaro had dlplomalc papers In Its possession which It Intended to pub lish, although that would have a grave peril for the country. "I am obliged to speak now of Cal mette," said M. Caillaux. " but with tho greatest moderation nnd tho deep est emotion. If by allowing him to cover me with mud I could recall him to life, I would do so nt once, but I am bound to defend my honor." M. Caillaux declared that wli on tn 1 - mette took the direction of tho Fi garo he obtained funds from a group iu ucrmnn llnnnciers. "My parents," lie said, "left mo 1,200,- francs. I have now ono million. : defy the attorney for the Calmetto family to deny thnt lie who twenty years ago had nothing has loft a fortune of thirteen millions." M. Caillaux then asked to be confronted with Latzurus. one of the members of the Figaro staff, who had previously tes tified that Calmette had told him he had diplomatic documents important enough absolutely to crush Caillaux. The two men were wildly excited a.s they stood beside the bar and appeared nbout to spring at each other. Latzarus refused to specify the con tents of the documents r-iless forced n do so, as their dlvulgence would constl tute n grave danger to France. He wns then heard to say something about "Th.; chief whom I loved and whom Caillaux assassinated." The court room broke Into a violent uproar; tho scene recalled the famous Zola trial. Caillaux shouted above the din: "I cannot tolerate such language. I respect the sentiment and devotion which prompts It, but I insist that you substantiate the charges. I defy you to produce nuthentlc documents n-hir-v, .i,a. me to have been wanting In patriotism and in patriotic foresight at that time." Maurice Chenu, counsel for tho Cal metto family, here interposed and de clared that tho documents had been hnnded to President Polncare by Cal mette's brother nfter the editor's death. Tho president had given them to the foreign office. lie asked Mr. Caillaux to let the matter drop under the circum stances. At this M. I.aborl, chief counsel for the defense, sprang to this feet . nd com pletely dominated the situation. In tones of thunder he declared: "I will have no equivocation. I demand a full statement from the government " Tho procurator-general, M. Herbaux, explained that some doubt existed as to the authenticity of tho documents nnd an inquiry was necessary. "Have you authority to express such doubt?" retorted Labori. Receiving an evasive answer, he shouted nt the top of his voice: "I icfiise to plead under such circumstances. I will not permit (qulvocatlon which might bo tolerated In parliament. Wild cheers greeted M. Lnbnrl's out burst, nnd the tumult looked as If It might degenerate Into a serious disturb ance. The Judge hero announced that It was too lato to go Into such an impor tant matter nnd adjourned court. Immediately the lawyers and others rushed lnsldo the bar, giving rousing cheers for Labor! nnd shaking his hand. As M. Caillaux left the palace of Jus tice, the crowd hooted or cheered, ac cording to their political opinions. able skill in marshalling her facts so ns to represent thorn In tho best light for her cause. The Judgeb' role was a simplo one, confined to encournglng her with brief quostlons ns sho camo to each succes sive phase of tho drama. Mme, Cail laux wns a willing witness through out and showed groat self control. It wns only after she hnd concluded her narrative and was nsked If there wns anything she would like to add that sh'J cast restraint aside and with accents of genuine emotion thrilled her listeners and elicited murmurs of applause. Then sho described vividly tho protracted ngonv she had endured because of the calumnies iRnlnst herself nnd her husband. "For three months I mounted C'alvarv," she said. "Such woe I do not wish to my worst enemy. No one cm imagine wli.it I went through. DKFINFS WOMAN'S IIONOII.

"Wo aro reproached with being of the Hourgeolse. It Is true. I do not blush for It. I ' am a Bourgoolse. When the letters were purlolnod, M. Caillaux and myself felt alike; wo would havo preferred to renounce our greut happiness rather than sco our Inner life blazoned to tho world. LKTTKR SIONKD "THY JOF.." "I fenred the publication of the let ters on account of tho society we fre quented. We had iniiny friends, es pecially among the embassies, nnd In those circles people wished to humil iate and cast ridicule upon my hus band by the publication of two letters, addressed to two different women, signed 'Thy Joe.' They wished to throw contempt upon tho head of a ministry of the republic, the chief of the Radi cal party, and strike through him tho republic. "Finally, I did not wish to blush before my daughter; that Is one thing a woman must not bo nsked to do. I deeply i egret tho present misfortune, nnd I would have undergone anything In the world rather than have been tho carse of it." Her impassioned peroration was ac companied by eloquent gestures of her slender hands, from which she had clip ped her gloves. The spectators hung on every word anil movement, frequently expressing discreet approbation, against which tho presiding Judgo made no at tempt to Interfere. Mme. Caillaux told of the shooting In the Figaro office. Prior to this she had been asked by the Judge regarding her interview with Fernand Monler, presi dent of the Tribunal of the Seine, from whom she had sought Information as to whether the attacks of M. Calmette ngalnst her husband could lie stopped. M. Monler told her, sho said, that this would be Impossible, that one could only put up with It or defend one's self hy ones own means. He had added, tho witness asserted, that It was astonish ing that with the French temperament there were not more heads broken. Maurice Chenu, attorney for M. Cal mette's relatives, nroe and said that M. Monler, before the examining magis trate, had denied giving utterance to anything of the sort. THK AUDIKNCE LAUGHS. Mme. Caillaux then told of what took place on the day of the tragedy. "1 Informed M. Caillaux at lunch," she testified, "what M. Monler hnd said. Ho was very Indignant and exclaimed, 'If this Is how things are, then I will smash his ." Mme. Caillaux hesi tated a moment nnd added "face." Up Jumped Chenu. "Oh, you can say the word 'snout.' It lias been said 20 times during the investigation." "Ves," replhd Mme. Caillaux, "but there are words that are not uttered in public." The Judge repeated the expression "Smash his snout" and the audience laughed. Mme. Caillaux went on In n trembling voice: "If my husband had said to me 'Thero Is nothing to be done' I should havo looked upon him as a coward. I asked him 'When, to-day?' "He said 'No, at my own time." " She raised hor clasped hands and cried, "My God! My God! If you " turn ing to the Jiidp,, "knew what I suffered that day! To think that my husband was going to kill a man!" She lowered her voice and half whis pered: "1 thought of committing suicide. If you knew with what happiness I wouh; have given my life that day to purchase peace for my husband! Then I thought of trying to do something myself to stop that publication. I said to myself, I will make a scandal." She put her handkerchief to her eyes and cried: "Ah, my God! If I had fore seen the horrible Issue!" The court was absolutely silent dur EIGHTEEN MILES MORE OF THE LONG TRAIL . NOW COMPLETED Bennington, July 21. The Bennington section of the Green Mountain club has completed thnt portion of the Long Trail leading from Bennington to the big stor age dnm of the New Knglnnd Power company in Somerset, n distance of IS miles.

Caillaux snld she had no fixed Idea of using It, and In any caso had no purpose to kill. She had hail a revolver which her father had given her, hut had lost It. When she reached home after conferring with M. Monler sho wns still vnclllatng as to what to do whether to go to tho Figaro office and see Calmette or to a te,T, party. Finally she decided to leave a letter for her husband wjiethcr she went to tho Figaro. LKTTKR TO HUSBAND. Judge Albanel read tho letter, which wns ns follows: "My Beloved Husband: "When I told j on this morning of my Interview with President Monler, who In formed me thnt we have In France no law to protect us against the calumnies of the press, you said to me that one of these days you would smash the face of the Ignoble, Calmette. I realized that voiir decision was Irrevocable. My re solve wax then made I shall do Justice. France and the republic need you. I will do the deed. "If this letter reaches you, you will know thnt I have done or have tried to do Justice. Forgive me, but my patience Is exhausted. "I love and embrace you from the depths of my heart. "Your Henriette." Judge Albanel "Explain this letter, which the prosecutor relies upon to es tnbllsh premeditation." Mme. Caillaux "I never meant to mv that In going to the Figaro otllco I hod resolved to shoot Calmette. I had not made up my mind what I should do. I had made 't perfectly clear to Miss Bnx- tor (the Kngllsh governess) that she must not give the letter to my husband unless I had not returned nt seven." DAY OP THK TRAGEDY. Coming to the scene of the tragedy. Mine. Calllau said that while waiting to see M. Calmette, she heard the olllee boys talking about the campaign against her husband. "I also beard three persons In the wait ing room," she continued, "discussing an article which was to appear the next dnv." Those in tho court room were all attention as the presiding judge said, "now kindly tell the jury what took place In M. Calmette's private office." Mme. Caillaux flushed deeply and be. gnn to sob: for a space she was unable to utter a word. The Judge referring to his notes, gently repeated to her the facts brought out In tho magistrate's ex amination. She nodded her head. Fin ally ho said, "Come, come Mme. Cail laux! What exactly happened?" I "I do not know," said she in a burst of tears. I fired. I did not think I had hit him; It is frightful thnt those re volvers go off by themselves." The people in the court room laughed even the Judges. Mine. Caillaux look ed indignant and exclaimed: "It wns all so Quick! I assure you I cannot tell precisely what happened.' She was silent for a moment and then the judge asked "Have you anything further to siy?" She began snbhlng again and erled out: "I regret It Inllnltely." M HA NT TO STAHT SCANDAL. "Do you maintain your statement made to the examining judge that you at no time Intended to kill Mr. Calmette?" "Certainly, sir. I meant only to make a scandal. I tired low In the direction of his feet. It Is such a dreadful burden for mu to carry all my life that 1 have killed a man! Why should I have killed him? "Never have I said that the punishment of Calmette should be death. Would I thus have renounced everything, the affection of my husband nnd my daugh ter, to go and kill?" She struggled for breath; her words came dlsjolntly, nnd sob-? broke her utterance. "In trying to avoid a catastrophe 1 have made It Irreparable for myself, my daughter, my poor papa. I had done bet ter to have allowed any thing to havo been published." She fell back upon a chair, shaken with solis. The judge again inquired. 'Have yofi anything more to say?" "I regret it from the depths of my heart," replied Mme. Caillaux. FOUR THOUSAND UNIFORMED PYTHIANS MARCH IN PARADE Terre llnute, Ind., July 21.

Hinman Probable Choice Hcnnessy Is Also Mentioned. Oyster Hay, N. T July 20. Aiter Theodore Hoosevelt had gone over the New York State situation to-night with a group of New York progressive leaders, It was learned that a citizens' ticket probably will be put In tho field for tho fall campaign. Indications were thut Colonel Hoosevelt had decided definitely not to accept the gubernatorial nomina tion. Former State Senator Harvey D. IHnmnn of Hrooine county, a republican, was regarded as the man most likely to head the ticket, lj was said authorita tively. Colonel Hoosevelt spent several hours with T. Douglas Hoblnson, progressive State chairman, George W. Perkins of New Vork and Frederick M. Davenport of Clinton. Mr. Hoblnson had Just re turned from Cooperstown where yester day lie saw Stephen C. Clark, an Albany i newspaper publisher. Mr. Hinman also vlblted .Mr. Clark yesterday. Colonel Hoosevelt said he had no knowledge of a meeting between Mr. Hoblnson and Mr. Hinman and that he believed they were I nnt ln Cooperstown at the same time Mr. HoblnFon. who wns one of the most Insistent of those who demanded that Colonel Hoosevelt run for governor, ap parently was convinced to-night that his efforts were fruitless and It was believed that from now on the efforts of the pro gressive lenders would be directed toward putting together a citizens' ticket which might be expected to draw support from Independent voters of all parties. Th" principal issue in such a campaign, according to present plans, would be th . ending of what Colonel Hoosevelt styb s "boss rule" with the tight directed ngaltiSL political leaders of both old parties. John A. llennessy of New York, whe was '.'raft Investigator for William Si.' zer as governor, also Is under consldei.i tlon for the gubernatorial nomination. Si. far as could be learned no other mm- are being discussed at present. It warf paid that If Mr. Hinman should be the llrst choice for governor, Mr. Henness might be found on the ticket ns the nnnV nee for comptroller.

In the event of Mr. Hlnman's selec tion for nnil acceptance of the nomina tion, it Is understood thnt ho will go lnto tne republican as well as the progressive primaries On the ticket, .according to the plan, would be progressives, Independent re publicans and independent democrats. It is Colonel Hoosevolfs hope to unite the independents of nil parties, i using ns a battle cry the phrase he. wrote in Ills statement before going to ihirope last .May: "The time has come to clean up the Stnto." The plan to put a citizens' ticket into the Held was taken up without op position, for a number of progressive leaders In New York and other States, felt that a straight progressive tickot should bo named. It Is regarded as possible that this attitude on the part of the progressives ln tho West In particular, may defeat the proposal.
