The petition to be filed in accord with
directions of Attorney General Mercy

"a ticket to Detroit but unfortunately
for Thaw, it had been purchased at

Unable TO show that he had come
into the dominion at any recognized
port Of entry, Thaw practically Was
convicted of entering by stealth and on
this charge alone he can be deported.
But on this charge he could appeal to
the minister of the interior, while no
appeal would lie should he DE found
insane at the present time or to have
been in an insane asylum WITHIN five
years. If found of unsound mind now
the board could deport Thaw direct to

FATE TO Be PLACED
WITH JURY TODAY
Defendants Counsel SAYS
Case Has Simmered
Down to Single
Issue

San Francisco, September 1.-The fate OF
F. Drew Caminetti. charged with whit,
slavery will rest IN the hands of a jury
by noon tomorrow. He is being tried OF
the same charges and before the same
judge as Maury |. Diggs, who was con.
vieted but II different men are on the
jury.
As the defendants counsel. his brother
put it to the jury today: This whole case
has simmered down to a single issue
namely what was the intent and purpose
of the trip to Reno?"
The whole evidence tends to show" he
argued, that the defendant left Sacra-
mento because he feared impending ar
rest and articles about to be printed in
the new spapers. No one but a man crazed
by fear of arrest would have gone on
that crazy trip-none but a lunatic
Fright No Defense
1--WE do not claim that fright is de-
fense for crime. but when seeking a
motive the state of mind must be con-
sidered," he added
Theodore Roche, arguing for the gov
ernment, said:
"The contention of the prosecution is
not that Camnetti alone induced or en-
ticed the girls TO leave Sacramento but
that he aided in inducing and entieing
them.
1T was Caminetti himself, however,
who suggested that the girls go to Reno
- tsN... ~.
himself 1t was he who gave Lola Nor
ris $40 to pay her transportation. The
main points of the prosecution have not
been denied by Caminetti.
Agitation or fright is not d legal de-
Tense for crime. The defendant was not
too frightened to discriminate against the
four separate berths he might have en-
gagged on the train TO Reno instead of
the drawing room he chose, nor too fright
ened to to rent bungalow in Reno for
&c days and live there with the girls"
Anthony Caminetti, Jr unexpectedly
appeared today as an advocate in his
brothers defense Young Caminetti had
sat at counsel table with his brother $
lawyers throughout the trial, but there
was hutter of surprise when he. arose
to make the opening argument for the de-
fense. Young Mrs Caminetti was not
present to listen.

Underwood Flooded With Letters

In the meantime Mr.. Underwood is
being flooded with letters from his friends
all over the state of Alabama urging him
to become a candidate and to Immediately
announce that fact to the people, They
assure him that there can be but one
result-his triumphant election. But Mr..
Underwood realizes the situation here
perhaps more fully than any one else. He
has Kept in close touch with developments
and he fully recognizes that until the
tariff bill is settled beyond the shadow
of a doubt he cannot afford to make any
plans that will affect the fate of the
legislation for which the democratic party
has been striving for years. In the mean
time the question of whether or not he
is to enter the race for senator for the
ions term will be definitely settled within
the next two or three weeks.
1f Senator Simmons is correct and Sena-
tor Newlands of Nevada and Senator
Hitchcock Of Nebraska stand by the rest
of the party on the final roll call on
passage of the Underwood bill it is rea-
sonably certain that the list of senatorial
candidates in Alabama will be augmented
