Washington, July 10.-What pur- ports to be the printable portions of the suppressed report of District At torney McNab, of California, to At torney General McReynolds, is now given to the public. It follows:
 "The defendants, Diggs and Cami- netti, jointly indicted in this district for conspiracy to violate the white slate traffic act in inducing two young women, Marsha Warrington and Leola Norris, to go from Sacra- mento to the state of Nevada.
 "The defendant, Diggs, was a draughtsman in the office of the state capitol in Sacramento. He is mar red and has two children He comes of rich and locally powerful family and his record has more than once brought that family into disgrace.
 But short time before the actions hereinafter narrated he was involved in a forgery charge, and for long time, by common. repute, easily sub- stantiated by evidence, he maintained what has been denominated as 'pri- vate harem' at his rooms in down town block in Sacramento. Here, ac- cording to charges laid before me, he enticed many young women. Cami' netti was his bosom companion. The defendant, Caminetti, has vicious reputation for betraying young girls, and I have shocking instances which T can produce to establish this fact
 "The two girls in question, both of whom are about 19 years of age, come of most respectable families. Marsha Warrington is the only daugh- ter of the agent of the Santa Fe rall- road. Leola Norris is the only daugh- ter of a retired business man of Sac ramento. Owing to certain clerical work done by one of the girls about the state capitol, the young women became acquainted with Diggs and Caminetti, who ingratiated them selves with them. The girls allowed themselves to be led into indiscrc- tions.
 After going with the young woni- en for some months the two defend ants. who had determined to entice the girls away from home and take them to another state, began sys. tematic campaign of coercion.
 "They told the young women that Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Caminetti had found out about their relations and had procured warrants for their ar rest from the juvenile court and were only waiting the appropriate time to serve them; that Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Caminetti were relentless and in- tended to expose the whole matter and that the families of the girls would be disgraced and ruined; that the only way to save the girls from disgrace was to leave the city, go to another state where they would &C., quire a residence, the men would di- vorce their wives and marry the girls, etc.
 "The young women were in absolute terror. They repeatedly appealed to the defendants to allow them to re- main at home and not to disgrace them, and begged to be allowed to unbosom their indiscretions to their parents and have their advice.
 After several meetings, at which the journey was proposed, the four met by appointment in Sacramento, and the trip was then definitely de- cided upon.
 "The four went to the Southern Pa cific depot in Sacramento and the men arranged for transportation.
 Up to this time, according to the uncontradicted evidence, Diggs had been intimate with Miss Warrington for few weeks; the Norris girl, be- fore this trip to Reno, had been good girl.
 "On arrival at Reno, they were as signed to bedrooms, Diggs and Miss Warrington occupying one room and Caminetti and Miss Norris the other. According to the testimony of the young women, they had never been away from home or their parents be- fore, and felt that they were power less to. save themselves.
