PROSECUTOR ADMITS , SHE HAD SOME REASON Her Plea Was Substantially One of "Emotional Insanity." '-(United Preo tn CVIr.l Paris, July 28. Mme. Henrlotte Calllaux. who killed Editor Gaston 'almettu of "Le Figaro," wfxn acquit-te-1 here today on a murder charge, i Prosecutor Ilerbaux admitted in ihs rlowlng argument that there were ex tenuating circumstances in the pris oner's .' favor In connection with the case. Mme. Calllaux received a tremendous ovation when the verdict was an nounced. Political opponents of her husband attempted a counter demon stration outside the palaco of Justice and there were numerous fights. Tnt police had hard work to prevent a erltuble riot. Calmette Fought Calllaux. Calmette was the bitter political en emy of Mme. Calllaux' husband, Jo seph Calllaux, once premier of France and at' the tlmevof the tragedy min ister of finance in the Doumergue cabinet. He had been waging a fierce news paper campaign against the minister and as Its climax published a love letter which Calllaux wrote to his wife prior to. their marriage aad at a time when he had a previous wife and sliu a first husband living and undlvorced. A few days later, March 16, Mme. Calllaux called at the editor's office, .asked to' see him and, when admitted, hot him several times with an auto matic pistol she carried hidden in her muff, wounding him so seriously that he died a "few hours later. Calllaux ahd his wife, contended that Calmette had still more of their love letters which he intended to publish and that Mme. Calllsnx' Rilled, him "to prevent him from doing so. 1 v Trial Was Political. The prosecution maintained that the original letter was not, fully published and that Only those portions 'of It were put in print which related to political matter and were of corresponding In terest to the public. It was denied that Calmette had any more letters and the assertion was made that what Cnillaux really knew was that the editor had still more damaging politi cal Information concerning him and Inspired his wife to assassinate him as a means of stopping his mouth. The trial was- a political rather than a criminal affair from the first, ex cited the bitterest feelings on both sides and unquestionably will result In several duels among those connect ed with the case. Verdict Hot Unexpected. No one at any time thought the death penalty would be meted out to Mme. Calllaux but it was considered possible she would get a term of im prisonment or perhaps a suspended sentence. Her story was that she did not In tend to kill the editor, but went to ask him to return her letters, taking the pistol with her for her own protection, and fired In blind and unreasoning sua den rage when she saw the man who had so harmed herself and her hus band. Her plea was substantially one of emotional insanity. - . Prisoner Taints AfalxL Mme. Calllaux fainted - Uiday during the denunciation of her by .Attorney chenu representing the family of Ed itor Oaston Calmette of Le Figaro, for whose killing she was on trial. Siie wa carried from the courtroom and a recess was taken. The Incident was attended by a ter rtfic commotion among the spectators and seml-rlotoua scenes outside the Palace of Justice. "The defendant went to the office of 'I.e Figaro." thundered Chenu, "with a single purpose. The pistol she had l.urchased lay naked in her muff when she entered Calmette" s office. She went there determined to kill him." It was at this point that Mme. Call lntix collapseC.. A vast throng surrounded the pal nee of justice and at the entrance to the little courtroom where the lawyers were talking hundreds clamored for admittance. The police had hard work to escape betng rushed off their feet. There were dosens of tights. Even the war scars did not diminish interest in the case.
