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. - BALI.
