Former Premier of France But “Failed to Recognize the Had Made on the Soul of His Wife” —Knew Nothing of the “Thy Joe” Letters Until Warned by a Friend They Were to be Published—Firmly Believed Other Letters Would be Published, and His Wife Shared in Belief— Imposing Personality and Uncommon Gifts Made Him an Impressive Witness. Paris, July 2L—Joseph Caillaux heid the court for two intense hours today, testifying in defense of his wife, wWho sat in the prisoners’ enclosure, charged witn the Kiiling of Gaston Calmetie, editor of the Figaro, on March 16 last. The appearance of M. Caillaux wis hardly less dramatic than that of Mme. Caillaux_yesterday. The former premier, stiil one of the most powerful men in France, domi- nated the proceedings, imposing upon them his personality and uncommun ifts of leadership. Accused Himself. “I accuse myself,” he cried in dae climax. “1 committed a fauit. 1 ehould myself have acted, but, absorbed by public affairs, 1 falled to reulize the ravages Calmette's calumnies had made on the soul of my wite." M. Caillaux spoke as if in the cham- ber, his voice of high tenor, softened in quality, sometimes rising to falsetto in | moments of excitement. ~He gesticulat- ed freely, pointing a singularly long forefinger as he addressed the judges or the jury, and occasionally it movd in the direction of his wife, The triai has entered upon its polit Scal phase and those who sat in the courtroom had occasion to bring to mind that Caillaux is the strong man of the radi growbs now ruliag France. Wouldn Tell History of Private Lif: He would, lie said, tell the jury the history of his private life from his first marriage down to the sad event ‘which caused his presence on , the stand. He expalined the incident of the two letters, which he supposed had Dbeen destroyed before his divorce from his first wife. He only knew of their existence .when a friend. warned him that they were about to be published. ths for Two Hours SAYS HE SHOULD HAVE ACTED HIMSELF Held Attention of the Court Ravages Calmette’s Calumnies | ‘When he married Mme. Raynouard he | knew for the first time what true hap- Diness was. When he spoke of her, ‘ Mme. Caillaux blushed crimson and | i bowed her head in her hands and sob- by silently. ‘She was a most tender, affectionite wife,” sald M. Caillaux, “We lived, and | live, in the closest communion of heart and mind. My wife, however, ook ‘alarm at the dangers my political ! campaign exposed me to.

I pus- sued my way undeterred. I could not believe that anyone would publish ihe *Thy Joe' letter, although I had been ! warned by Pierre Morder, by the Prin- jcess of Monaco and by the Princess | of Mesagne-Estraders.” Your wife (first wife) is very Dbitter | against you. You Made a great mis- take in writing those letters.” | t Wife Cleared Herseif. After the publication of the “Thy ! FJoe” letter, M. Caillaux’s first wife tele- bhoned him to clear herself of any suspicion 1€ might have had that she was responsible for its divulgence. “At that time” said M. Caillaux, firmly believed that other letters would e published. My wife shared my be- iief, which was confirmed by informas tion from a number of persons.” BONFEH!VNCE FOR SETTLEMENT OF HOME RULE DEADLOCK.

This is_particularly true in the middle and New England states and in some of the large man- south. “Against these unfavorable condi- tions, the situation of agriculture is most encouraging, despite drought con- ditions that have prevatled more or less extensively in the spring and summer in widespread sections.
