Gaynor is not going to give up his

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-The
four women most directly concerned,
the two wives and the "aff1nities"
rather than attorneys or jurymen, will
decide the fate of F. Drew Caminetti,
just as they did for his convicted pal,
Maury I. Diggs. who faces :. possible
sentence Of twenty years for violation
OF the Mann white slavery law and
who is at liberty under $4,000 bonds.
AS in the Ddggs case, all four again
will take the stand There, Illicit love

pudiated but loyal affection of the
wife. The former in Marsha War
rington renounced as the wife had
been spurned, got her bitter revenge

Caminetti coming to trial Tuesday,
this promises to be different align
ment In the feminine quadrangle. Cam

he betrayed, Lola Norris And he
still has a strong affection for her.

much as possible.

That is what Caminetti has vowed.

said Caminetti's WIFE,
On the eve Of his trial Caminetti
finds himself in an acute predlcament,
with his fate precariously in the bal
ance. If he allows Lola Norris to be-
lieve that he has become really recon
ciled to his wife. which on the sur
face has happened, she might be made
to exert herself as her friend, Marsha
Warrington convicted Diggs If on the
other hand, his wife begins to suspect
that he still cares for Lola more than
for her. it Is practically certain that
she will forsake him and rob him Of
his best witness. To warn the girl
Lola, Mrs. Drew Caminetti is all bit
terness. The former processes real
sorrow that she had any part in the
winning the husband away from the
wife. 'I didn't realize | was hurting
Mrs. Caminetti," says Miss Norris
II knew Caminett was a married
man from the first, but I thought
there had been trouble at home and

have been spent with her anyway. l am
sorry
To this Mrs. Camineth retorts:
"They robbed me of my husband
