PARIS. July I". Court was sus pended again today in the trial of Mme. Henrietta Cailiaux for the murder of M. Calmette. editor of the Flgraro. when the courtroom broke Into an up roar while Henri Bernstein, the play wright, was reading his deposition. The playwright was testifying as to the character of Calmette and aban doned all form of courtesy toward the ex-premier and husband of the prisoner, referring to him as Calllaux" without the semblance of a title. immediately after. M. Calllaux took the stand and attacked the standing of Bernstein, whom he labeled as a deserter of the army. Illy equipped to come before the court and testify as to the morality of the slain editor. Playwright Makes Answer. Alternate hoots and cheers for the playwright practically broke up the court's session, but not until Bernstein had gained the stand again and replied to M. Calllaux. asserting the former premier had settled upon a point of "folly" In the youthful days of Bern stein. The playwright called attention to the fact that he was now enlisted in the artillery. Bernstein was. it Is expected, the final witness, and tomorrow counsel for the defense and prosecution will sum up. and it M expected the case will go to the jury before tomorrow evening. "We have just witnessed the French Treasury committing a felony by ap propriating a will and turning it over to Calllaux.' said Bernstein while on the stand. "Then we have seen Ministers of State come here and declare in order to cover up their for mer colleague, that diplomatic docu ments accepted with thanks by the President of fie Republic are forge ries. Either President Polncare Is feeble-minded or his Ministers have lied." Calllaux Demands IlenrlnK. As soon as Judge Iuls Albanel and Ills three associates had taken their seats on the bench this morning Joseph Calllaux demanded to be heard. He said: "The Figaro, having accused me to day of suborning witnesses, I should like to submit to the court some au thentic papers concerning the late Gaston Calmette's relations with the Hungarian Government. I have hesi tated to use them, but I have decided to do so In view of the Figaro's atti tude. I desire also to read the late M Calmette's will." Maltre Chenu "How did you get lt?" x Calllaux "In the same way that you got my letters." Cailiaux then proceeded to read the Will. Calllaux afterward said: "1 shall not repeat what I have al ready said about the bonds which unite the Figaro to certain foreign person alties. I merely informed the jury that 1 place at the disposition of the court authentic documents signed by Gaston Calmette. stipulating In the clearest possible fashion the conditions under .which the Figaro would work in the interests of the Hungarian Gov ernment. Every Frenchman will realize today wr.at would have been the effect of that work. These documents are of unimpeachable authenticity. They were given me by Count Karolyl, chief of the Hungarian Radical party." Papers Not .Made Public. When he had concluded Calllaux handed a bundle of papers to the Pre siding Judge. They were not read In court. In his speech, Cailiaux had mentioned the name Phill'lppe Glaser as a signer of the documents with Gaston Cal mette. Glaser is one of the leading editors of the Figaro. After reading the will, which dis posed of t-. 600. 000. Cailiaux said: "We may well be astonished at the singularly rapid increase of M. Cal mette's fortune. In our middle class families It would take 150 years for such a fortune to accumulate." "We have heard a lot of testimony." Cailiaux continued, "of the fine char acter of M. Calmette from Henri Bern, stein (the playwright) in particular. It does not come well from a man who failed in his full duty toward his coun try (referring to Bernstein's alleged desertion from the army), to deliver certificates of morality." Maitre Chenu Would M. Calllaux tell us in what way all this excuses the crime of his wife? "There are some questions which ought not be asked," Cailiaux replied hotly, "but since I am asked I shall an swer. There Is something perhaps worse than losing one's life; that Is to live by attacking women and enriching one's 6elf at their expense." Illegal Gifts Alleged. While reading the will of Calmette. Calllaux said: "I wish to draw particular attention to the clause saying: "A greater part of the fortune I leave comes from a personal gift made to me by Madame Boursin, It being understood that I paid her an income therefrom during her life." "What do we gather from this will?" M. Cailiaux continued. "First of all. that the act of gift was executed ille gally, which constitutes a testament ary fraud. How did Madame Maria Boursin, who inherited from M. Chau chard. under conditions It were better not to dwell on. from 40,000,000 to 60. 000 000 francs, consent to give up 8,000.000 to M. Calmette? It has never been explained, but an explanation has been brought to me which I have de spaired to use." Henri Bernstein then insisted that the ourt hear him. "M. Cailiaux." he began, "stands on a coffin and makes a pedestal of it-" "But this is literature," Interrupted Judge Albanel. M. Bernstein M. Cailiaux recalls a follv of my youth. Today I am In the fighting service of the artillery and If war comes I shall be at the front- If M. Cailiaux were there he could not re place himself by a woman. He must fire himself. The whole court broke into an up roar and M. Bernstein was noisily ap plauded. Judge Albanel suspended the sitting. EDITOR IN HUNGARY'S PAY Count Confirms Intimated Contents of "Letters.

Miss Edelson refused all meats of fered to her today, but early In the morning she took the whites -of two eggs, and Commissioner of Corrections Katherine Davis construed this act as tlie practical abandonment of the hunger strike.

Becky had been "filching" food, it was charged, following an examination which had been made in preparation for forcibly feeding the prisoner. The doctor advised she had been getting food in some manner. Attendants at the workhouse have been working on a forcible feeding de vice. The device is a simple yet in genious contrivance.
