Defendant Goes on the Stand.

San Francisco, Aug. 29.--For the first
time since the story of her husbands

Diggs heard it from the lips of Marsha
Warrington yesterday. Marsha told the
same story as she did at the Diggs trial.
Mrs. Diggs listened intently and rig
idly wincing at some of the passages
of the testimony.
If Drew Caminetti undertakes to tell
from the witness stand, as Maury Diggs
did, why the two We're so anxious to
get away from Sacramento, testimony
will be brought out which he proba bly,
is not counting on, it was stated by rep
resentative OF the prosecution in the
Caminetti case yesterday.
As soon as he starts to testify said
Prosecutor Roche, HE will clear the
way for admission of additional testi-
mony from two young Sacramento girls,
one a telephone operator and the other
a l5-year old school girl, who are pre-
pared, If permitted, to tell the most SEN
sational stories concerning Caminetti's
habits.

girls may show that Caminetti and
Diggs had ample reason for flight, it will
be shown in way not calculated to
help his case,
Lawyers for the defence said, never
theless, that Caminetti would take the
stand.

find the guilty man. / would be willing
to suffer his own punishment for him in
