| Caption | The trial of Henriette Caillaux. The wife of French Finance Minister Joseph Caillaux, Henriette Caillaux shot and killed Gaston Calmette, editor of Le Figaro, in his office. Calmette had used the newspaper to wage a ferocious campaign to discredit Caillaux from 1911 onwards. In a sensational trial that gripped the attention of French society, Madame Caillaux was acquitted on the grounds that her actions were not premeditated but were a crime of passion caused by her uncontrollable female emotions. Madame Caillaux devant ses juges. Une cause sensationnelle aux assises de la Seine. Illustration for Le Petit Journal, 2 August 1914. |
