TASSOCTATED PRESS DISPATCH1
 SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 15-MaurN |. Diggs got into fresh trouble tonight and out of it. Leaving the federal building by a side entrance to shield his wife. mother and father and three aunts from public curiosity, he was ambushcd by a squad of newspaper photographers. The women tried to run. but the photographers kept pace snapping their cameras as they gave chase.
 Somebody snatched at a camera and somebody punched a photographer's face. Bystanders joined in and an in stant there was a free for all fight in the center of a swirling crowd. Drew Caminetti was swept into the vortex and began to struggle with the rest. It got so complicated that a squad of of ficers who came running to the melee bundled the whole party, principals and all into a patrol wagon and took them to the nearest station.
 There it developed after much argu- ment that one photographer was ham mered on the head with something hard. what or by whom he couldn't be sure. A reporter said the phOtOgra- pher had been smashed in the face with his own camera. The upshOt of the affair was that Diggs was released and his friend law clerk, was charged with battery.
 In the more serious troubles that just now cneross the attention of Diggs. the government rested a noon and the defense took up the burden of proving that he and F. Drew Caminetti did not transport Marsha Warrington and LOlO Norris from Sacramento to Reno for immoral purposes in violation of the Mann white slave act. So far as the opening statement of Attorney Devlin for the defense indicated. no attempt will be made to show that the two girls did not accompany the young married men to Reno; that Diggs did not buy tickets and that Caminetti did not draw money. and that their relations did not fall within the language of the statute.
 We shall show said Devlin to the jury, that the purpose of this trip was not as stated in the indictment. It was the intention of the defendants to leave Sacramento only for short time to avoid notorety They first intended to go somewhere within the state. It was never their intention to leave the state but simply to get out of Sacra- mento. They missed the train for Los Angeles and took the next one, which went to Reno.
 'This crime-if it is a crime-is only such because of the incidents that are supposed to have happened between the two states. If they had happened within the boundaries of California the defendants would not have been charged with violation of this statute.
 Two weeks before, Diggs said he was going to Los Angeles. We will show that Miss Warrington said she was going too and that he could not leave her in SacramentO.'
 | P. Diggs, father of the defendant, a contractor and builder of Berkeley, testified for the defense. He told of his sons wayWardness and his attempts to make the boy behave. He had threatened to take his sons automobile away to prevent further affairs with other women. This, it is said, would show the motive of Diggs in leaving Sacramento. At the close of the day the court adjourned until Tuesday.
 Other testimony which the defense promised to introduce will go to show the men told what they believed to be tho truth a bOut their reasons for leaV-
