Judge Albnet presided. No women' were admitted to- the courtroom. .This was In accordance with Mme. Caillaux' request. In ex planatlon she said she realised she probably was generally unpopular with those of her own sex and feared If there were women In the audience their behavior might be such as to prejudice the Jurors 'against her. The courtroom, a small one, with accommodations for about 200, was packed before the opening hour. Hold ers of tickets were on hand before day light, shouting and pounding on the door. When it was finally opened there was a scramble bordering on a riot to get In. Disturbances Are Sfomerous.

Fourteen admission tickets were is sued to foreign correspondents. The first witness, was Police Com missary Carpln, who Investigated Mme.

Her husband, however, showed ui tense nervousness, shouting excitedly, ham mering with his fists on the table and smoking Innumerable cigarettes.. Her breakfast finished, Mme. Cail laux was escorted through a mase of secret corridors to the courtroom, two giant gendarmes, accompanying her. There was an ' excited stretching of necks and - almost a sigh of interest as she entered the dock. Her toilette, though plain, was care ful. Except for a white collar she was dressed entirely! in black. Her face, which looked unusually beautiful, was very pale. She was considerably thin ner than when she killed Calmette. For an instant she stood fumbling with her handkerchief. Then, at the Judge's word.' she seated herself. At the - Indictment was being read , she cried ouletly, but later recovered her self and listened calmly to Carpin's testimony. , Husband Takes Responsibility. Ex-Minister Caillaux, it was known, was prepared to take full responsibil ity for the killing. Previous to It, Calmette had - already published: In Le Figaro" one. letter written by the ex-minister to his present wife, be fore they were married and at a time when he had a previous wife and she a previous husband living; and undt vorced. It waaibellevedvby the Call laux' that he H intended to publish others they were aware he had In his possession, Caillaux had threatened the editor to his i wife and the- de fense's contention will be-that in hope of preventing a tragedy, Mme. Caillaux visited Calmettes office, taking1 with her a pistol to frighten but not to kill him with, and mat sne snot mm un Intentionally during a "brainstorm when she realised she could not move him. -. - - .."v. -"' ' - - Maitrs Laborl, the prisoners lawyer, was . assisted . by his "secre taries," or hired attorneys, Adrlen De Pachmann.

Two questions only, . owing to this particular form of the Indictment. can be put to the Jury, via: r First, "Did Mme, Caillaux commit voluntary homicide on the person of Gaston Cal mette"; and second, "Was this killing done with premeditation r: The following explain the answers possible and the sentences that each answer legally carries with It: . . Questions to Be Answered. .

Fourth First question, yes; second question, no (with extenuating clrcum stances): 20 years imprisonment max lmum; five years seclusion, minimum.
