aris, July 20. The thoughts of all
Parisian? today were occupied solely
;hy the opening of the trial of Madame
'Caillaux for the murder on March
'16 of Gaston Calmette, editor of the
Figaro- Proceedings started at noon
In the Palace of Justice, with Judge
(Louis Albanel acting as president of
4 the court.
The dramatic setting of the affair,
I involving political Intrigues, in which
the prisoner's husband, a former
'French premier and minister of fi
nance, was a prominent figure, was
Just to the taste of the French pub
He. Added to this was the nimored
threat of royalist hot heads to create
a disturbance during the trial and
the extensive precautions taken by
the government to prevent an out
break. - J Special Police Called.
0 Long before the opening of the Pal
6 T ace of Justice, crowds, defying the
4 drizzling rain, had assembled in the
4 vicinity and special forces of police

!- part allotted to press representatives
c and barristers. A few homeless waifs
d bad even taken up their positions out
d side the building last nicht with the
'r object of selling their places to others,
i willing to pay highly for the chance
or admission. The police, however,
y eventually chased tbem away, telling
them there was no hope of securing
- entrance to the court.
. Secret Entrance to Court,
j Madame Caillaux herself had been
n conducted from the prison of the
,f Concierge to the court by a secret
passage, so that those outside had
a no opportunity of cheering or hissing
her The other leading figures in the
case, however, were the objects of
p demonstration. Among them were

Ferdinand Leberer the famous advo

one owing to his connection with the

t The newspapers today were filled
with references to the case The Fl
W garo came out with a violently worded
article on the opening of the trial
from the pen of Alfred Capus. the re

i ed to violate confidences, thus giving
a foretaste of what is In s'ore."
The article continues with a panegy

"Those who have slain him from

' put yourself out You have well sharp-!

As soon as the Jurors who had been I
drawn by lot in a private room and
the four judges composing the court,
had taken their places. President
Albanel called out loudly:
Calls For Accused.
! "Bring In the accused "
Republican guards then opened ri
j small door In the wall of the courth
jL room beneath the bu3t of the Goddess
of Liberty and Madame Caillaux step-
ped into the tribunal. The strong
light from the windows opposite
seemed to startle the accused woman,
nr perhaps it was the absolute silence
in the court room, and the masses of
faceE turned toward her that made
her hesitate on the threshold and
reach out unsteadily to catch the arm
of the Republican guard standing at
her right. spoke a word to her
and she entered the prisoners en-
,
closure directly in front of her
Madame Caillaux there stood with
her eyes downcast and her shoulders
bent, a timid looking figure in black
She wore a cloth jacket suit, a small
black hat with a black bird wing
cocked on one side, a white linen col
lar edged with lace and held together
by a pin.
The prisoner then sat down but as
all in the court room except the jud
ges were standing, she hastily rose
again and did not reseat heiself until
all the others did.
Judge Albanel Begins Query.
"What is your name?"
Madame Caillaux stood up and her ,
lips moved The words "Henrietto j
Caillaux" could scarcely bo heard. As
the prisoner remained standing the
presiding Judge said
"You may sit down."
The three Judges assisting Presi
dent Albanel are Achille Katz, Louis
Dagoury and Henri Roty.
Jury of Many Professions.
The jury is composed of men of
many trades and professions, includ
ing an engraver, a building contrac
tor, a distiller, an architect, a teacher
a furrier, and a commission agent, as
well as several small capitalists
When these had been sworn, the
clerk read the long indictment, after
which Madame Caillaux recovered
her composure.
The only women present in court
were two barristers and several wit
nesses. The rest of the space was
occupied by 147 reporters, 20 artists,
75 witnesses, about 50 barristers and
possibly as many more republican
guards, detectives and petty court of
ficers. On the table In front of the judges
was a brown paper package contain
ing the pistol with which Calmette
waa shot, and various other articles
connected with the case.
Madame Caillaux Weeps.
Madame Caillaux wept when the
court clerk, while reading the indict
ment, reached the words "willful
murder" She shook with sobs and
looked round as though searching for
a friendly face.
The clerk then called the list of wit
nesses, each of whom answered "pre
sent" and left the court Joseph Cail
laux, the prisoner s husband, answer
ed in a firm voice and she watched
him as he went out.
