If they had happened within the boun-
diaries of California these two yuung
men "outd not have been charged With
the violation Of this statute.
Two weeks previously Dig.s had said
he was going TO Los Angeles We Will
show that Miss Warrington said he was
going. too. and that he could not leave
her in Sacramento.
Other testimony which III. defense
promised TO Introduce would 90 to show
that the men had told what they believed
TO be the truth about the reasons for
leaving Sacramento-that d scandal soon
10 explode would cover them all with
shame and involve them ali in prose
cutions.
The two defendants had the moral sup
port today of their wives and mothers,
who appeared In court after the noon
intermission and listened to some par
ticuiarly unpleasant testimony. While
Mrs. Diggs held her pretty little daugh-
ter Evelyn, four years old. on her knees
she heard NJ. II. Diepenbrook testify to
the character Of her husband as a
tenant.
The janitor of my office building" he
testified, and the policeman on the beat
told me that Diggs was entertaining
young girls in his Office I cautioned
him and told him that | could not have
him continue such conduct. The jantor
had told me tina. the juvenile authori-
ties We're after Diggs and l told
Digs So"
The purpose of this testimony was to
show that Diggs had Gauge for alarm
and desire to fee. Corroboratrc testl-
mony was given.
Diggs' Father on the Stand.
The last witness was Diggs' fathe-, l.
+. Diggs, contractor and builder of
Berkeley. He seemed bowed under the
weight of sorrow. but told a straightfor-
ward story of all the town talk surround
ing his son and the efforts he made to
induce him to mend his ways
II told him | wanted him to come and
me and round the whole thing mp.
His uncle Marshall Diggs. and his young
wife had told me that he was running
wild with other women. l told him
didn't want the family broken up: that
the situation was pretty serious and that
1 was going to prosecute Caminetti, Miss
Warrington. Miss Norris and himself if
the thing didn't end right away.
Shortly before he went away ] tele-
phoned to him at Sacramento and told
him to bring his automobile to Berkeley
to me. was going to take 1t away from
him because he was running around with
women in it. Then | won't bring it,. he
said. / told him that I would go up there
and settle with him.
: The morning session was given over to
the crosS-eXamination of Lola NOrr S.
which left her narrative mistaken. and
the testimony of Nellie Barton, friend
OF Marsha Warrington, with which the
government rested.
Miss Barton related her part in the
episode which resulted in the collateral
indictments charging Diggs and his at
torney, Charles S. Harris of Sacramento,
with conspiracy to suborn perjury.
There will be no sessions of the court
IN this case today or Monday.
Counsel for the defense announced
that Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Caminctti the
two injured wives would take the stand
for their husbands and that Digs
would testify in his own behalf. With
these three witnesses the defense plans
to close it's case. not later than We'd
nesday.

ATTORNEY FOR D|CCS
OUTLINES THE DEFENSE
Clash With Camera Men Fea-
lures White Slave Case.
Adjourns Till Tuesday.

SAN FRANCISCO. August little
government rested yesterday in the case
Of Maury L. Diggs charged. with +.
Drew Caminetti with violation of the
Mann act, and the defense began its Ct
forts to prove that DiSGs and Camine;n
did not transport Marsha Warrington
and Lola Norris from Sacramento 70
Reno for immoral purposes unlaWfully.
After court adjourned Digs got into
fresh trouble Leaving he federal build
ing by side entrance to shield his wife
his mother, his father and three aunts
from public curiosity. he was ambusned
by a squad of newspaper phutogra piers.
The women tried IL run. but the pho
toSraphGrs kept pace with them. snap
ming their cameras AS they gave chase.
Somebody snatchcd AT a camera some
body punchcd a photographers in the face.
bystanderS joined in and III an instant
there was Il frce-for-all fight at the cen
ter Of Il swirlng crowd. Drew Caminetti
was swept into the vortex and began to
struggle with the rest. 1t became 50
complicated that the squad or police
which came running to tho spot bundled
the whole party OF principals into q pa
troll wagon and took them TO the nearest
station.
There it developed that one photoSra-
phcr had been hammered on the head
with something hard. what or by whom
he could not be sure. \ reporter said
that the photographer had been smashed
in the face with his own camera. AS
the upshot Of the whole affair Dig2s was
released and a friend of his. law clerk.
was charged with assault and battery.
So far as the opening statement of At
torney Devlin for the defense indicated,
no attempt will be made to show that
the two girls did not accompany the two
young married men to Reno, that Digs
did not buy the tickets and Caninett
drew the money, or that their relations
did not fall within the language of the
statute.
Intention of Defendants.
I'VE shall show. said Attorney Devlin
to the jury, that the purpose of this
trip was not as stated i'll the indictment.
that il was the intention of the defend
ants only to leave Sacramento for
short time to avoid notoriety; that they
had first intended to 50 to some place
within the state: that it never was their
intention to leave the state. but simply
to get out of Sacramento, that they
missed a train for Los Angeles and took
the next one. which went TO Reno.
This crime--if 1t is a crimc-is such
only because the incidents are supposed
to have happened between two states
