progressive tickets in the state is
strong and said that the chances were
good for the election of some of these
tickets.

WIVES TESTIFY
In DIGGS CASE
Miss Warrington Suggested the EIope-
ment, According to Defen-
dant's Story.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.-Mrs
Maury 1. Diggs sat Tuesday in the
court room where her husband stands
charged as a white SLAYER. heard him
testify that he had been unfaithful
10 her with Marsha Warrington in
their own apartments and twenty
minutes later herself took the witness
stand 70 testify in mis- behalf.
With her testimony, the defense
and the government rested and the
government began it's argument to the
jury. By stipulation of Judge Van
Fleet. each side has two hours and
twenty minutes in which to sum up
and the case will be in the jury's
hands late tomorrow afternoon.
Three witnesses held the stand
Tuesday. Maury /: Diggs occupied the
morning with his account OF events
tnat led TO his flight to Reno with
Marsha Warrington; accompanied by
Drew CaminetG and Lola Norris.
Caminetu will be prosecuted, the
government announced Tuesday when
the jury has made up its mind about
Diggs and regardless of whether il
finds him innocent or guilty or dis
agrees.
The other two witnesses were Mrs
Camfnetti and Mrs. Diggs. They were
questioned briefly and the substance
of their discourse was of the sleepless-
ness, erratic, nervous behavior and
air of worriment that characterized
their husbands for the week preced-
ing their flight
Court Calls Halt.
Mrs. Diggs told how she had gone
with her troubles to her father-in-
law. Mrs. Caminetti tried to tell how
she had threatened to interview
Judge Hughes Of the juvenile court
but in as much as she did not go
until after the arrests in Reno the
judge held her testimony immaterial
Diggs was the center Of interest
Handsomely gowned women stood two
hours without luncheon in the corri-
doris of the federal buildings to hear
his concluding testimony in the after
noon.
Digg's lawyers did not attempt to
have him deny that he got the trans
portation for Reno, paid for the Pull
man berths and was intimate with
Marsha Warrington in Nevada. All
the stress was laid on what he had
intended to do. No attempt was made
to assail the reputation of the girls
before they met Diggs and Caminetti
Under the rulings of Judge Van
Fleet evidence of that nature was
immaterial.
Diggs testified TO the proceedings in
his home during the absence of his
wife when Lola Norris, Ciminetti and
Marsha Warrington visited there. His
unfaithfulnesS to his wife at that time
he swore was at the suggestion of
Miss Warrington who gloated over her
triumph over the absent wife. He
also testified that when first scandal
asSailed her it was Miss Warrington
who had suggested an elopement to
Diggs. When he tried ''to let her
down easy" ito disconnect" as he
put it, she called him a piker.

fed she had told him, land you fell

MOTHER HEARS OF
OF HER SONS ARREST
Mrs. ThaW at First Refuses to
Believe That He Was Cap
tured-WiII Not Make Com
ment on the Case.

SHERBROOKE, Quebec, Aug. Is.
Harry K. Thaw. whose spectacular
flight from the Matteawan asylum.
Tuesday with his arrest at Coaticook,
may be sent back to New York on
either of two grounds, namely:
First: Through deportation pro-
ceedings under the Dominion law
which provides:
mo immigrant shall lie permitted
to land in Canada who is feeble-mind-
ed, or idiot, or an epileptic, or who is
insane, or who has had an attack of
insanity within five years, nor shall
any immigrant be so landed who is
deaf and dumb or blind or intirm un-
less he belongs to a family accom-
panying him or already in Canada
which gives security satisfactory TO
the minister and in conformity with
the regulations in that behalf for his
permanent support if admitted to
Canada
Second-Through extradition pro-
ceedings, ins ituted by the state Of
New York and conducted by the pro-
per federal authorities on "A warrant
for Thaw'S arrest accusing him of
bribery. He cannot be eXtradited on
the warrant already issued in New
York charging conspiracy in the
opinion of the authorities, because
existent treaties deal only with that
brand of conspiracy relating TO, re-
volt against the master Of a ship on
the high seas. A new warrant charg-
ing bribery, the authorities believe,
would have to be sworn out.
There is of course a possibility that
Canada will not deport him and will
decline to honor an eXtradition re-
QUESTION issued by the United States.
To these possibilities the wealthy
slayer OF Stanford White addressed
his attention and that of his counsel
Tuesday night preparatory to a hear
ing in his case set for Wednesday.

OFFICIALS PUZZLED
over THE SITUATION
While Denial That Ultimatum
Was Issued is Given, 1t is
Claimed There Has Been a
Break in the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 20.-Hopeful.
though somewhat puzzled by the days
developments, administration officials
anxiously awaited Tuesday night the
receipt OF the Huerta governments
complete reply TO the American COM
munication presented by John Lind,
personal representative of Pres. Will
son in Mexico.
Officials though somewhat skeptical
of the outcome of the present negoti-
ations. took the view that nothing
could be done by the United States
at least until Mr.. Lind actually con-
cluded his parieys with Huerta and
his cabinet with whom the American
envoy has established unofficial rela-
tions.
One thing that confused the situa-
ton Tuesday was the fact that only
the first part Of the Huerta note re-
jecting the American proposal had
been received. This was couched in
cordial terms, setting forth the rea-
sons why mediation or outside inter-
ference is impossible of acceptance
to the Huerta administration. 1t
cited particularly that the pride of
the Mexican people could not brook
the settlement Of an internal contro-
versy at foreign hands, but the prin-
cipal argument was not reached in
this installment of the document In
the meantime news that subsequently
Mr.. Lind had resumed negotiations
with Huerta, inspired a feeling of
hope that something tangible might
result from the interchange of views.
There was an undercurrent of
Skepticism among some officials how
ever, who were inclined to credit Senor
Urrutia- Mexican minister of interior,
with the responsibility for the reports
published Tuesday that recognition
had been demanded of the United
States with a threat of seVering rela-
tions between the two countries At
the white house and state department
the denial authorized by Provisional
Pres. Huerta was accepted.
Friction I'm Cabinet.
Reports of friction in the Huerta
cabinet. however, were current and
Urrutia's alleged declarations were
cited in official circles as possible
evidence Of friction.
1t was pointed out that Urrutia had
issued the first statement declaring
that Mr.. Lind would not be received
unless he brought credentials recOg
nizing the Huerta government. This
position later was repudiated not only
by FREDERICK Gamboa, minister of
foreign relations, but by Provisional
Pres. Huerta as well. both of whom
received Mr.. Lind and expressed them
selves since in complimentary terms
concerning his personality, though at
the outset Mr.. Lind informed them
he did not bring recognition of the
Huerta government.
1t is believed here in some quarters.
that Provisional Pres. Huerta has
practically decided to resign in favor
of Senior Gamboa, with the intention
of being a candidate in the coming
elections,

LEAVE FOR CANADA.

POUGHKEEPSIE, y. Y, Aug. 20.
District Attorney Edward Conger,
Sheriff Hornbeck and Former District
Attorney Mack left Tuesday night for
intention of taking Harry Thaw into
custody and returning him either to
the DutchesS county Jail or Mattea-
wan asylum.
The officials are armed with a war
rant charging conspiracy, issued by
Justice Morschauser and if it IS found
Thaw cannot be extradicted on the
conspiracy charge, a new warrant
charging bribery will be applied for
and an attempt made to eXtradite the
fugitive on that charge.
1t is the hope of the district at
torney however, that Canada will de-
port Thaw and in so doing land him
over the international line in New
York instead Of New Hampshire or
Vermont. Should this be done, Mr..
Conger and his associates will be wait
ing on the line TO take Thaw into Gus
tody and bring him back. They do
not want him in any other state than
New York because he would then
have an opportunity TO attempt TO
prove he is sane and tedious litigation
and delay would follow.
