ager for the Santa Fe in Sacramento,
prior to her leaving the city.
Between the first time she went out
with Diggs. last October. and the sec
ond occasion, In November, Miss War
rington said he called her up. sew
eral times and she refused to go out
with him.
Mr.. Caminetti called at my home
and was known there as Mr.. Whit
man." she said. "Mr. Diggs never
came to our house.
SCOLDS LAWYERS FOR TALKING
For some time prior to the Reno
trip Miss Norris was attending night
school, Miss Warrington said. when
we four would get together Mr. Cam
fnetti would come to our house and
get me. Then we would meet Mr..
Diggs. Sometimes we would stay to-
gether and other times Mr. Cami-
when we would go to the night school
to get Miss Norris. Then they would
Join u.s."
Opposing counsel figuratively made
faces at each other and were kept
In after school, by Judge Van Fleet.
In the morning Matt Sullivan ad-
dressed Judge Van Fleet with a news-
paper clipping containing an inter-
view with Marshall Woodwork of the
defense. In which he said the Mann
act never was intended to prosecute
erring young men like Caminetti, and
which wound up with the statement:
The Mann act is as much on trial as
Caminetti Is"
Judge Van Fleet could not believe
his ears and had to see the clipping
and obtain Woodworth's verification.
Il can not imagine counsel so far
forgetting himself as to try case
In the newspapers" said the court.
1T is entirely improper, and If there
Is any recurrence of the offense
shall consider 1t serious contempt
and act accordingly"
Returning from the noon recess,
Woodwork handed Van Fleet clip
ping in which Roche was quoted con-
cerning relations of Caminetti with
some minor girls.
You licked us, now lick him." was
In substance what Woodwork said to
the Judge
WOMEN IN MORBID CORNER
So the Judge took down his switch
again and told Mr.. Roche the prose-
cution will be visited with the wrath
of the court just as quickly as the
defense. and school resumed it's. set
program.
Expecting the girls would testify,
the crowds came back. There were
not so many men in line in the corr
ridor. but more women. For the f1rst
time since the Diggs-Caminetti af-
fair got into the federal court the
majority OF the 48 seats In the NOR
bid section were Occupied by women.
They seemed to have the entree over
tho mon folk.
S. Luke Howe OF Sacramento took
an active part for the defense, pick
ing up the exception" keynote on
cross examination where Woodworth's
headache made him lay 1t down.
Some big expressions like corpus
delicti" were hoisted into the record
by the defense In attempting to have
testimony stricken out on the ground
of being immaterial
Judge Van Fleet once advised
Woodwork his procedure was idle
and silly.
mo case in the world could be
established II sustained the motions
you suggest" he said.
On another occasion the Judge said.
Statements made in the presence OF
the defendant are just as material as
his own statements, unless 1t Is shown
that the defendant disputed them"
DODGEs McNAB CROSS QUIZ
Woodworth almost started some-
thing with a question he put to John
l.. McNab. former United States dis

to Identify the sheets from the Reno
beds.
.You know nothing about the facts
in this case other than you have testi-

Roche objected.
McNab looked at Judge Van Fleet
as though he would like to say sew
eral things Then Roche withdrew
his objection and woodwork decided
he did not care to cross question NC
