WILD SCENES MARK IRE
TRIAL OF MME. CAILLAUX
PARIS, July 22.—Wild uproar occurred in the court
during (he trial of Madame Caillaux this afternoon and
never since the trial of Dreyfus have the French people
been so wrought up. The scene beggars description. It
arose from a statement of Maurice Chenu of the Figaro
who rose to his feet and cried out that the trial was degen
erating into nothing more than a political whitewashing
of Caillaux. He had scarcely resumed his seat when Cail
laux could be heard above the din challenging him to a
duel. The spectators were divided into two camps and
cheers and hisses accompanied the turmoil on the floor
until the presiding judge was unable to secure quiet and a
temporary adjournment had to be made.
The government announced today that the documents
which the testimony showed the Figaro was also about
to publish were bogus and this announcement has had the
result of relieving the tenseness of the situation.
Chenu is one of the most eminent journalists in France.
He has stated that he will accept the challenge of Caillaux
but that he could not legally accept it in court. Those who
are watching the proceedinsgs look forward to the duel as
certain.
Madame Caillaux, the prisoner, bears herself well
through all the fierce display of passion around her. Her
husband, the former cabinet minister of the republic, is
standing by her with passionate energy and will fight
every step made to have her declared guilty of the murder
of Calmett, the editor of the Figaro. Never was such a
dramatic trial and never did fiction writer dare to write
a story where the plot and surrounding circumstances
were of such a thrilling nature. All France, and indeed
all Europe, has forgotten fiction reading for the moment
and the trial of Madame Caillaux is published and read to
the smallest detail in all the great journals.
All the great names of France, with few exceptions,
even that of the president, are heard during the evidence
and the testimony reads almost like a history of our own
times with a powerful love story and tragedy to relieve
the tedium.
