SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14.-That
news of an attempt to reach Jurors
in the Maury Diggs white slave trial
had reached Judge yanF7eet, was The
general belief here today, following
the action of the judge in issuing
warning to the twelve men not to
permit any improper advances Of any
kind This belief was added to by
the fact that Burns detectives appear
ed in court when todays sesHion be-
gan and took up positions where
they could see everything going on In
the court room. 1t is intimated frcm
a reliable source that they are watch
ing the Jurors Tor the government and
sensation is expected to develop be-
fore the case is finished.
Before today's adjournment It is exr
lpected that Miss Martha Warrington
will have finished her CROSS examin-
alton and Miss Lola Norris. the other
girl In the case, will have been call
ed to the stand. Miss Norris story
is not expected to add much to the
testimony already given by Miss
Warrington. being mainly con-
4 firmation and amplfncation OF It,
4 According to the program, the case
will probably not reach the jury be-
J fore Tuesday. As soon as the testi-8
Imony of the girla is finished, the gov
/, ernanent sssiIl probably summon their
Fathers to confirm details Of their
Z stories.

repeatedly expressed his desire to
kill Diggs for running his girl and for
this reason VIII be closely watched
while he is testifying, SO that he may
mot attempt any violence.
This testimony will close the gov
T ernment,s case. The present indica-

+ Their examination viii probably be
J, long. There was report about the
9 court room today that In the event OF
g Diggs' conviction Caminetti will plead
!. guilty. This could not be confirmed
a and friends Of Caminetti denied 1t.
: When today's session began. Miss
q Warrington WAS still upon the stand
!. for cross examination. So Tar she
y has proved an excellent witness for
Il the prosecution and cross examination
has only served to emphasize rather
/ than let down her direct testimony
1.-THE chief effort OF defendants coun-
. sci seems to have been rather to In

alities with Diggs. ALI attempts how
y ever. to get her to admit any hasor
'e with any other man have failed. She
y denied that she had ever had I'M
% proper relations with any one else
e although she freely told Of visits o
N herself. Diggs and Miss Norris ant
le Caminetti had made to road houses
