Henriette Caillaux, wife of Jos ! Caillaux, the French minister of finance, died tonig'ht. * Mme. Cailloux went to the office of i i J The Figaro to carry our. ail act of. < vengeance against M. Calmette, who;: ^ had been waging a campaign characterized by great bitterness against : . the minister of finance. She fired i three times, M. Calmette being wound- ; ed in the chest, in the side and the ] abdomen. j < While the editor was being trans-! jjui Lt;u iu tut; iii/apiiai, nc aaiu icpeatedly: "I have done my duty. I have done my duty." s Having committed the deed, Mine. | Caillaux submitted to arrest, and ( while employes in The Figaro were: s taking the pistol from her hands, she j ' said: ^Since there is no justice in this country, I take upon myself an act of justice. Take me where you will." Mme. aCillaux immediately was re- |1 moved to a police station where she'( underwent a preliminary examination,j1 the substance of which was commun-! J icated to the press at her desire. ( Sorry, She Says. "I am# sorry," she said, '"for what ( I was obliged to do. I had no inten-!v tion of killing M. Calmette, a^d 11 would be happy to know that "he will ' recover. I desired only to teacli him s 1 a lesson.'' !( When Mine. Caillaux called, M. Cal-;t mette was preparing to leave his of- ' * lice in the company of Paul Boiirget, j * the author. He excused himself to 1 receive Mme. Caillaux. ' In her statement to the police, Mme. T Caillaux explained that the campaign c against her husband had become intolerable, and she determined to stop 1 it.

She bought a revolver, c drove to The Figaro offices and sent in j1 her card. j * M. Calmette was moist polite and ; 1 asked what he could do for her. j Xot 9 Friendly Call. " 'It is needless for me to pretend, tfaat I am making a friendly call,' I answered," said Mme. Caillaux. "Then, | losing all conirol of myself at the1 *"U 4. ~ o ik ~ i ? ^ J J muugui ui. me uumuianuus lnuicieu ? on my husband by, this man, I drew my revolver (from my muff and fired all the cartridges. M. Calmette was surprised' at the first report and tried 1 to take shelter behind a desk." Mme. Caillaux was charged formal- \ ly with attempted homicide and re- i moved to St. Lazare prison. Later the j charge was changed to homicide. It officially announced tonight t-hat M. Caillaux had tendered his res- j ignatioh from the ministry of finance, . but tha: Premier Doumergue with- i held his decision until tomorrow. Mme. Caillaux is t! e minister's third wife. She is 39 years old. Her maiden name was Henrietta Rainouard. She I was the wife of Leo Claretie., brother of the late Jules Clareiie, from whom she was divorced. I The personal campaign of Gaston I Calmette against Joseph Caillaux he gan no January 12, ana since tnen the attacks on the finance minister ihave'been a daily feature of the paper.1 The fac: that the campaign was inaugurated on the event of the opening j of the last session of the present chamber of deputies cheated intense interest in the charges. 'Among these M. Calmetie asserted that Mme. Caillaux offered 10 pay $1,200,000 to M. Schneider, the legal representative of j Marcel Prieu, who had entered claim against ne government 011 condition : that 80 per cent.of that amount should j he turned over to the Radical party's ' campaign fund <for the coming elec- | tions. Marcel Prieu was a French merchant of Brazil. Thirteen of his ships were seized by the Brazilian government in 1880, on the charge that the customs regulations had been evaded. Eventually Brazil paid to the French government an indemnity of $3,000,G#0. Prieu's claim to this was reneatedly rejected, but his heirs in 1899 formed a syndicate to prosecute the j claim. M. Calmette also charged that M. j Caillaux Tjad "tapped'' the Comptoir National d'Escompte and other banks to the amoun t of $80,000. Among othier accusations, it was charged that the minister had exerted pressure 011 judges to postpone the trial of H'enri Rocfaette, who was ar, rested in Paris in 190S on the charge of swindling on an enormous scale, j thus enabling him to flee from Mex- ! ico. M. Caillaux also was charged j with authorizing the quotation on th.e j bourse oi' questionable foreign loans, , wnereby vast sums were lost by French investors. .M. Oaillaux content?d himself with issuing categorical denials. Cut 011; March 1.'!, The Figaro printed a facsimile of a letter from M. Caillaux to :)ii in imate friend, dated "The Senate, July in, 1901," at the time AI. Cail laux was minister of finance in the Waldeck-Rousseau cabinet?in which he said he had been successful in crushing the income tax, although seemingly he was defending the tax. This brought matters to a climax and i; was understood that we finance minister intended to take proceedings igainst M.
