D|GGS MAY KNOW
HIS FATE TONIGHT
White Slavery Case Expected to
Be in Jury's Hands
Today.

! SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20
Maury |. Diggs may know tonight
whether he has been held innocent or
guilty of violation of the Mann
white slave law. The case is expect
ed to be in the hands of the jury by
night.
Argument began Immediately after
the taking of the last testimony had
been concluded yesterday afternoon
and was resumed this morning with
! Theodore j. Roche. of the prosecu-
ton, demanding that Diggs be ad
judged guilty.
He talked for thirty minutes and
then Robert Deylin opened for the
defense.
At the afternoon session Nathan
Coghlan, who has been indisposed,
| hoped to be able to make the conclud-
! ing appeal for the defendant. Matt
/. Sullivan was scheduled to round
off the argument for the government
Judge Van Fleets charge is expected
to be brief
The case hinges on the purpose for
which Diggs went away with Marsha
Warrington. in company with F..
Drew Caminetti and Lola Norris
from Sacramento to Reno. New.
If the jury determines that Diggs 3
purpose was immoral he doubtless
will be convicted. If. on the other
hand. the jury agrees with the con-
tention of the defense that Diggs fled
to Reno not for the purpose of con-
I, ba or
rington girl but merely because he
was frightened from Sacramento, the
defendant may go free.
Considerable interest has been
aroused over an admonition given the
jury late yesterday afternoon by
Judge Van Fleet. He said:
you viii not permit any one to
discuss the case with you. Remem-
Der, 1t is just as bad to permit
woman to converse with you about
the case as to permit a man."
Just what the judge had in mind
was not revealed.
Diggs has told his own story. saying
with much volubilitY. sit was the
woman"
He has tried to picture little roly
poly Marsha Warrington as the main
spring of ali the woe; as the devil in
the machinery that got out of cog as
the engineer and adviser of the trip
to Reno.
And against this the prosecution is
picturing Diggs as a monster of hide
Gus mien. to whom nothing was sa-
cred, a thing of 'Ust beyond control:
a Sacramento minotaur with an in
satiable passion for destroying young
girls.
Diggs insisted that once when
Caminetti said he could not afford 10
go away, as his wife was going to
the hospital and needed all his
money, Miss Warrington had said:
ooh. you're a pil5er We girls have
framed this trip and you've got to
go along.
Even up to the last she had chung
to the witness, according to his story,
saying: Believe me, old boy, you are
not going to leave me here holding
the bag. I'm going. too
Once the witness said Caminetti
fatty told the girls.
II don't want you to. ] don't want
to be hampered by women. ] can't
offer you any glittering promises
But Miss Warrington insisted on
going with them.

HOUSE LISTENS TO
REPORT ON SPEER
Federal Judges Acts and Tenn
peramental Fitness Sub
ject of Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. = The
House judiciary committee assembled
in a secret session today to heal, a
report of an investigation by the de-
partment of justice upon the conduct
of Federal Judge Emory Speer, of the
Fifth circuit
Various charges against the judge
have been brought during the last
three or four years, but the investi-
cation of which Attorney General Nc
Reynolds was to present report to-
day has been conducted during the
last year by special agents.
Judge Speer in a recent public
speech denounced what he charac-
terized as the espionage of federal
agents upon judges, and Senator
Borah recently charged in the Senate
that federal agents har harassed
judges by Investigations to influence
their action in cases in which the gov
eminent was interested.
The department of justice has in
vestigated three judges within the
last five years. Robert W. Archbold
he was impeached.
The nature of the report of the de-
partment of justice agent was being
withheld today pending its presenta-
ton to the judiciary committee which
has the power to dispose of 1t by let
ting 1t pass or by framing articles of
impeachment for presentation to the
House.
1t became known today that Presi-
dent Wilson and AttorneyGeneral
McReynolds have conferred at length
over the investigation of Judge
Speer's office and that the President,
after being advised of the contents of
the report of the investigation agents,
was cognizant of the intention of the
attorney general to submit the find
ings to the House judiciary commit
tee for action.

He went right up to that storenonse,

Then Mabel Brownell adjusted
