Csminetti. son Of the Commissioner Cen
eral Of immigration. was found. guilty
late to-day on one count Of the indict-
rnent charging him with violation Of the
Mann white slave act.
The jury was out three hours and took
eight ballots. From the first the vote

rre two recalcitrants agreed 70 compro-
mise by finding a verdict Of guilty on
one Of the four counts charged. Bail in

dicted with Caminetti and convicted Oh
fur counts An appeal will be filed.
Caminetti took the verdict lightly smil-
irr a forced smile and nudginS his broth
o. iocularly First he lifted his little
daughter. Naomi who was playing at his
+. 4. and placed her carefully in her moth
e. lap. Then he shook hands with his
. lawyers and with Digs. who had been
sitting near by. His mother and wife
showed no emotion They sat with low
cred heads. gazing into their laps.
Indicted on Six Counts.
Caminetti and Msury I Digs former
state architect Of California. were jointly
Indicted on SIX counts and Digs was
found guilty on four OF them. the jury
being unable 10 agree on the other two.
Because Of the special circumstances sur
rounding Caminetti's individual part In
he fight from Sacramento to Reno. New,
Rith Marsha Warrington and Lola Nor
us. the government elected in the second
trial 10 press only four counts.
The first two counts charged that he
transported and aided IN transporting the
tWo young women from Sacramento 10
Reno in interstate commerce. one count
applied 70 each girl and each count car
RED a maximum penalty of FIVE years in
a federal penitentiary and $500 fine. Thus
Diggs is liable 10 twenty years impris-
onment and $1,000 fine and Caminetu TO
five years and 5000 fine.
The verdicts correspond with the con-
.ention Of the government. which was
hat Digs was the self-constituted boss
and maiordomo Of the party and Can't
netti more or less OF a passive and plant
agent
The second two counts charged that
Caminetti persuaded and aided in per-
suading. inducing and enticing' the two
kris 20 go. and here again one count APP
piled 10 each girl.
The finding OF the jury was that Can't
netti was guilty on the single count Of
Transporting and aiding in transporting
Lola Norris 70 Reno for immoral pur-
roses. II did not consider him respon-
sible for Marsha Warringtons elopement
with Digs and it refused TO believe that
Hiss Norris had been enticed into going.
