 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-Guilty white slave traffic act was the yer dict found today against Farley Drew Caminetti, eldest son of the commissioner general of immigration The jury was out three hours, and took eight ballots. From the first vote it stood ten to two for convic- tion and finally the two reluctant jurymcn agreed to compromise by finding q verdict of guilty on one of the four counts charged. Bail in the sum of $1O,OOO was fur nished by Frank Freeman, of Will lows, Cal. and c. Bacigalupi, of San Francisco, and was ready to be filed with the United States marshal when the verdict was announced Sen tence will be pronounced on Wednes- day. Sept 10, the day set for sentenc- ing Maury I. Diggs. jointly indicted with Caminetti and convicted on four counts.
 Exceptions to the charge of Judge Van Fleet as whole and in part were taken by counsel and petition for an appeal will be filed. as was announced in the case of Diggs.
 Caminetti took the verdict lightly, smiling a forced smile and nudging his brother jocularly. First he lifted his little daughter Naomi, who was playing at his feet, and placed her carefully in her mothers lap. Then he shook hands with his lawyers and Diggs. who had been sitting nearby. His mother and his wife showed no emotion. but sat with lowered heads. gazing at their laps.
 Caminetti and Maury I. Diggs. for mer state architect of California, were indicted on six counts, and Diggs was found guilty on four of them. the jury being unable to agree on the other two Because of the special circumstances surrounding Caminetti's individual part in the flight from Sacramento to Reno the government elected on the second trial to press only four counts.
 The first two counts charged that he transported and aided in the tran sporting of Lola Norris and Marsha Warrington from Sacramento to Reno in interstate commerce for the pur pose of debauchery. One count ap piled to each girl, and each count carried penalty of five years in a federal prison and a 5000 fine. This Diggs is liable to twenty years inn prisonment and $2O,00O fine and Cam inetti to five years and a 5000 fine. Roughly speaking. the verdicts cor respond to the contention of the gov ernment that Diggs was the self constituted boss and major domo of the party and Caminetti more or less passive pliant accessory.
 The second of the two counts sim ilarly charged that Caminetti DOT suaded and aided in persuading, in ducing and enticing the two girls to go, and here again one count applied t4 each girl.
 SThe finding by the jury of Cam inetti guilty of the single count of transporting Lola Norris to Reno for immoral purposes does not consider him responsible for Marsha Warning tons "elopement."
 The Diggs jury reasoned much the same way. Diggs was the leader. He bought the tickets for all four ant the jury found him guilty on two ot the twin counts of the set charging that he transported both girls tC Reno, and on the other set that they bought the transportation. On th' question of inducement and entice ment they reasoned that the girl had minds of their own.
 There remain over the heads O 
 charging conspiracy to violate tn act, but in view of the conviction on the stronger charge of actua violation, the weaker indictments wi not be pressed. Conspiracy carries maximum penalty of two years i'm pri5onment.
 Diggs, however, has still q thir indictment hanging over him wit Chas E. Harris, of Sacramento, for merly an attorney. They are ac cused of subornation of perjur, Nellie Barton, a friend of Marsh Warrington, testified during the Digg trial that Harris and Diggs coache her with testimony which she turn was to drill into Marsha War rington to use in behalf of Diggs. Tn Dear Pickles" letter in which Digg urged Miss Warrington to .wrac her brain for the last instructions h had given her was additional evidenC of the same purport
 The perjury trial will be called De fore Judge Van Fleet on WedneSda when lie imposes the sentences.
