Kimberley, South Africa, Oct ia
sensational story OF native convicts'
well known to South Africa judges and
police authorities, has been unfolded in
the course of a murder trial here. Five
native convicts were indicted for the
murder Of a fellow-ConviCt named Jacob
Afkaba. at Dutoitspan convict station.
The story for the Crown was that Jacob
had decided to withdraw from the Nine
vite Society" abdiCating the chieftain-
ship. and had persuaded others to with
draw also. For this and for the fact
that he was supposed to have carried
tales TO the station superintendent he
was sentenced to death. He resisted
endeavors to get him into a certain cell,
but eventually went. and was set upon
and stabbed to death.
One of the accused was the societys s
doctor, another a Judge" a third sue
ceeded Jacob as chief, the fourth be-
Ionged to an opposing faction known as
''The Scotchmen," and the fifth was
neutral.
Convict Secret Society.
The Ninevites are a native convict
secret society. The evidence showed that
they have their own king, chief. general.
judges, doctor and other officers, and hold
secret courts, sentence feIlow-convicts to
death and issue the orders for the exc
cution of their sentences.
Judge Lange said that the Ninevites
originated in Pretoria convict prison. and
were represented all over the country. A
native witness said that nearly all the
convicts in Johannesburg were Ninevites
The deceased had been chief of the So
ciety. Secret prison meetings decided on
the stabbings, and those appointed to
execute orders were lisble to punishment
If they failed. This witness said the rule
was "Onee a Ninevite, always a Nine
vite." Jacobs death warrant was "ver-
baIly signed and il was ordained that
should the knife not be forthcoming he
should be killed while working on the
DeBeers floors.
Superintendent Dyason said the Nine
vites caused immense trouble in the sta
tons, and, although watched continually,
held meetings and reported to their king
The head of the society was in Pre-
toria. and was recognized throughout the
Union prisons. Witness added that the
lives of the witnesses in the present case
would certainly be endangered after the
Four of the accused were sentenced
to death.

WIVES OF DIGGS AND CAMINETTI IN COURT
HEAR TESTIMONY OF LOLA NORRIS

San Francisco, July 16.-An addi-
tionaI dramatic touch was added to
the trial of Diggs and Caminetti,
charged with violating the Mann
white slave act, when Mrs. Maury I.
Diggs, wife of one of the defendants,
entered the courtroom accompanied
by their little girl and seated herself
by Diggs' side, while she placed the
child on his knee.
Lola Norris, the girl Drew Camin-
ETH is accused of taking to Reno for
immoral purposes, was on the wit
ness stand, but though her pretty
face, and that of Marsha Warning
ton, whom Diggs had wronged,
awakened admiration in the eyes of
the spectators, both girls seemed
commonplace and just a little tawdy
in comparison with the beauty,
charm and refinement of Mrs. Diggs,
and there was a constant whisper in
the courtroom: why did he leave
her for the other?"
Mrs. Drew Caminett was also
present, sitting with her husbands
mother. She listened to the testi-
mony Of the girl who, for a brief
while, held the love of Caminetti, but
only once did she show emotion, and
that was when Lola Norris bowed her
head to hide the hot tears in her eyes
and admitted she still loved Drew
Caminetti.
During Miss Norris testimony, her
father, Edward Norris, and B. !.
Dfggs, father of the defendant, sat
facing each other on opposite sides
Of the rallied enclosure.
Nell Barton, who, it is alleged, at
tempted, on solicitation of Dtggs and
his attorney, to get the girls to per-
jure themselves, was called to the
stand.
Harris telephoned me-" she said,
chat he wanted me to see two girls. !

capade and Harris replied: They
aren't fools to go, but they are fools
to get caught .-......-'
''Diggs said his wife would swear
out warrants against Miss Warning
ton charging everything he (Diggs1
was convicted of, if he was. convicted
of anything. He then drew a dia-
gram Of the Reno bungalow and told
me to get the two girls to say they
occupied one room and the men an
other. He added: If / get out Of
this, I'll marry Miss Warrington or
do anything she wants.
Harris said he wanted Miss War
rington to say that she paid for her
own ticket to Reno. l agreed to this
and saw Marsha and told her about
it. She said: 1t is too late. / think
more of my father than 1 do of
Maury.' Later Diggs rang me up
and asked what success I had had"
The government has rested it's case
and nothing sensational is expected
from the defense. Attorney Robert
T. Devlin will rely on clearing his
client on technicality and interpreta-
ton of meaning.
He does not propose to attack the
stories of Marsha Warrington and
Lola Norris in any. essential particu-
lar, but will endeavor to prove that
there was not the persuasion and in
tent to bring under the Mann white
slavery act an offense. that would
have been punishable under it if
committed in Truckee instead of
Reno.
Devlin also expects to show that
the statements made to the two girls
by Diggs about the possibility of ar
rest and exposure were founded on
fact, claiming thatI P. Diggs, father
of the defendant, had informed Sen
ator A. Caminetti, now x s. immi-
grafton commissioner, that he pro-
posed to arrest the entire four.
