Caillaux, before the resumption of the trial today, expressed gratification ever the decision of the court. “It only would have stirred up tragic n-cmories that I have been trying to forget,” she said. M. Barrere, French to Be me, gave testimony today regarding CsiJlaux’s visit to Italy. He said he had called the attention of the French foreign ffice to the fact that Caillaux was conrting with Germanophiles in Italy as wii ps “defeatists and crooks.” M Barrere said his attention had been ca'|>.< to Caillaux's activities in Italy by th*i'itish and Russian envoys at Rome.
