Paris, July 21.?Joseph Caillaux held the court or two intense hours today testifying in defense of his wiie, charged with the killing of Gaston fCalmette, editor of The Figaro, 011 March 16. last. The appearance of M. Caillaux was hardly less dramatic than that of iilrae. Caillaux yesterday. The former premier, still one of the most powerful men in France, dominated the proceedings. "I accuse myself." he cried in the /-> 1 i m o v -n-Viilo croef ir-111 'a t rvl frpplv "I committed a fault. I should myself have acted, but, absorbed by public < affairs, I failed to realize the ravages Calmette's calumnies -had made on the soul of my wife." The trial had entered upon its political phase, and those who sat gi the rcourt room had occasion to bring to mind that Caillaux is the strong man of the radical group now ruling France. rHe would, he said, tell the jury the history of his private life from his marriage down to the sad events which caused his presence on the stand. He explained the incident of the two letters. He only know of fbeir existence when a :"'>-:id warned Mm thai ' >y about f<> 1?? published. 11'- .-aid thai wlini he married .wm<\ K.iviiouaiil h km iv : >r tii? iirs; i::ii w .at true happiness was.

After that I was relieved ! in mind but my wife, on the other ! hand, was depressed. ! "At the police station, on my way home from the senate, I learned of the tragedy. My wife's constant prayer was: 'I nope he is net serious lv '?urt; I meant only to give him a lesson.'" M. Caillaux asked for ten minutes' j rest, and went over to the dock, took I one of his wife's hands and kissed il I j fervently. M.
