TRYING DICCS ON
PERJURY CHARGE

San Francisco, Sept. 11.-Twelve
men were chosen yesterday to try
Maury l. Diggs, former state architect,
and Attorney Charles B. Morris of Sac
ramento on a charge of Subornatlon
of perjury growing out of the white
slave case in which Diggs was recent
Iy convicted. The taking of testimony
began today.
The prosecution will attempt to
prove that Diggs and his attorney,
Harris, asked Miss Nellie Barton to
intercede with her friend, Marsha
Warrington, following the Diggs-Cami-
netti flight to Reno, with a view to
having Miss Warrington so color her
testimony that Diggs might escape
conviction under the Mann act
Nellie Barton, a Sacramento girl,
testified in the Diggs trial that she
was called to Harris office by Diggs
and there coached in testimony which
she was to supply to Marsha Warning
| ton.
Sentence on Diggs and F. Drew
Caminetti was postponed, as had been
expected, until next Monday.
William A. Hester, the juror who
voted Camineti guilty and then de-
nounced the verdict as a disgrace, was
hailed before Judge van Fleet today
and severely reprimanded.
You are absolutely unfit to sit with
intelligent jurors where a mans lib
erty is at stake the court told him.
Hester apologized abjectly.
Did you say you believed Caminettt
innocent and that you did not want tC
| convict him." asked the Judge.
Yes, sir, l did" answered Hester
Il only voted to convict him because
you told me to-"
do you mean to say" pursued Judge
van Fleet, that this court ever toil
you to convict Caminetti or anyone
else?"
THAT is what I understood you tc
mean" insisted Hester.
1t is on the contention that Judge
van Fleets charge to the jury was
biased that the defense is seeking al
appeal.

Corn opened steady and unchanged
