GOESTO TRIAL Oiggs Faces a Jury and Caminetti Will Later Fight Charge of Tak ing Girls to Reno, Leaving Their Wives in State of California. After Five Months of Delay and Scandal Involving National Of ficials. Special Prosecutors Are Appearing for the Government. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9.—All California anticipates becoming the unsavory center of the nation’s atten tion for the next three w’eeks or a month, probably, during the trial’ of the Diggs-Caminetti white slave cases, arrangements for the beginning •of which to-day are complete, after many months of controversy, post ponement and of turmoil that threat- \ ened to disrupt President Wilson’s cabinet. tw'elve were chosen. The first witness was called. He Ban on Tobacco Seen By Prohibitionists Smoking and Drinking Are Blamed for Increase in Chronic Dis eases in America. BATTLECREEK, MICH., Aug 9 — That tobacco as well as liquor will be placed under national prohibition be fore the end of another generation, is the assertion made here by Irving Fisher. Fisher blames liquor, to bacco. overuse of meat and too stren uous life for the terrible increase of nk^o-iK luuauku iw 4m«ri<'H The jury to hear the case r*f Maury I. Diggs, former State Architect, one of the tw r o defendants, was announced complete to-day. after considerable difficulty In selecting the twelve mem bers. Exhaustive examination of 96 veniremen was necessary before the was F. J. Peck, a Reno real estate dealer, by whom the defense sought to show that the bungalow’ occupied by the defendants In Reno had been rented with no view to concealment. Prejudice against the defendants runs high, rendering exceedingly dif ficult the task of picking a jury. Of the twelve men chosen, eight are mar ried and have children, two are married, but childless, and two are single men, living w’ith their parents. Indicative of the general temper of Ran Francisco w’as the reply upon examination^of Philip Woolsey, who .afterward was chosen as a member of the jury. He expressed his prejudice against “any married man who will abandon his wife and babies and run eff on a spree with another woman,” but said he could, however, render a verdict strictly In accordance with the evidence. Cases Come Up Separately. The cases again c t Diggs and Cam inetti will be tried separately oecause the prosecution feels it has made out the stronger case against Diggs, and because the defense in this case will assume a course different from that in Caminetti’s. Diggs and F. Drew* Caminetti. son of former Congressman and present Commissioner General of Immigration Caminetti, are charged with luring Miss Marsha Warrington and Mias Lola Norris from California to Ne vada for immoral purposes. Both are married men. Diggf% the prosecution will attempt to show’, financed the trip to Reno, ■where the girls w^ere taken, and rent ed there a cottage in which thvi party lived. Diggs, against w^hom the charges are made in relation to Miss Marsha Warrington, is said to be contemplat ing a fierce attack on the character of the girl. He has subpenaed habi tues of the “Barbary Coasty resorts of this city and tw entv witnesses from Sacramento’s tenderloin. Caminetti is making no such move against Miss Norris. The Government assert* her character to be unblemished. Mrs. Caminetti Relentless. Caminetti’s wdfe is relentless in her attitude toward her young husband. She said that despite the disgrace It mav bring on their children, she thinks, for the protection of other married women, her husband should be made an example. Mrs. Diggs, also, is bitter tow’ard her husband. The defenders of both men, how’ever, to-day are claiming a complete reconciliation of the defend ants wdth' their wives, and declare that when the trial gets fully under wav both Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Cami netti will be seen sitting at their husbands’ sides, a spectacle which, the defense calculates, will have an effect to their advantage on the Jury. Diggs and Caminetti both are free from custody, having taken advantage of the $10,000 bail offered them. At first they feared freedom, as violence Was anticipated, but later this fear was overcome. Diggs appears to be cheerful to-day, taking matters easily. He is scrupu lously dressed,. He came into the courtroom, with his flock of attor neys, bearing a cheerful smile, and bowed a dozen times to familiar faces that he saw near. Caminetti, on the other hand, seemed deeply worried. He was pallid and palpably very nerv ous. His father, the Commissioner General of Immigration, did not make his appearance, and probably will r">t be seen at the trial. Two Special Prosecutors. The trial is being held in the Fed eral Court before Judge Van Fleet. Matt I. Sullivan and Theodore R. Roche, president of the San Francis co Police Commission, have been ap pointed special prosecutors by Attor ney General McReynolds, to take the place of District Attorney Gavin Mc- Nab, who resigned with the an nouncement that undue influence was being brought to bear from Washing ton to prevent the trjal of the two men. * Arrayed with the special prosecu tors arei Archie Johnson, son of Gov ernor Johnson, and Acting District Attorneys Benjamin L. McKinley and Thomas H. Salvage. Diggs and Caminetti have an equal ly impressive line-up of legal defend- ers f Including Robert L. Devlin and Marshall B. Woodworth, both former United States District Attorneys: Nate Coghlan and S. Luke Howe. A heavy guard Is throwm around the courtroom because feeling runs high against the two defendants. The two girls involved were high school students of Sacramento and of esti mable families. Both, attorneys for the Government announce, will be ready to take the stand against the men. The Government will charge that Diggs and Caminetti. both married men. had drawn the girls Into a liai son; that they terrified the girls into the belief that their wives, having dis covered their infidelity, intended to have the girls arrested, and that to escape this imaginary danger the girl3 accompanied the men to Reno, Nev. McNab Outlines His Case Against the Defendants A what was to be done with tljem. the . young women were told that their ruin was complete; that they would | not desert them, but that the young women were to continue to live with them as their mistresses, and that ; they would take them to Salt Lake. ! where they would go into a ‘house.’ ‘‘The Grand Jury had ample evi dence befor^ it in these statements to decide that the intent was to put them in a public* place. Barely Escaped Lynching. “The defendants were secretly taken from the train and brought to Sacramento by auto to avoid lynching by the enraged citizens. De fendants procured counsel. Among these Is Charles Harris, of the Sacra mento bar. He and Diggs lmmedi ately pet about to defeat Justice by corrupting a witness. Diggs wrote an appealing letter to Miss Warring ton under an assumed name, urlng her to stand by a certain agreed story he had drilled her in while x in Reno. The letter Is in my possession. "The Grand Jury has Indicted Har ris and Diggs for conspiracy to sub orn perjury. “The friends of the defendants are reported to have stated repeatedly that they could ‘easily fix the case;’ that they had too much money and too much influence at command to cause them to worry. This seems to have come principally from the Diggs end of the case.” Foundling Is Heiress To $100,000 Fortune Fafher Makes Wealth After He Had Left Baby in Michigan I nstitution. In his report Mr. McNab gives the following pen picture of Caminetti and Diggs: “The defendant Diggs was a draughtsman in the office of the State Capitol In Sacramento. He Is married and has two young children. “But a short time before the ac tions hereinafter narrated he was in volved in a forgery charge, and for a long time, by common repute, easily substantiated by evidence, he main tained what has been denominated as a private harem’ at his rooms in a downtown block in Sacramento. Her*, according to charges laid before m*. he enticed many young women to go to serve his immoral purposes. “Caminetti was his bosom compan ion. The defendant Caminetti has a vicious reputation for seducing girls, and I have shocking instances which I can produce to establish this fact. “The two girls in question, both of whom are about 19 years of age, come of most respectable families. Marsha Warrington is the only- daughter of the agent of the Santa Fe Railroad. Lola Norris is the only daughter of a retired business man of Sacramento. “After going with the young women for some months the two de fendants. who had determined to en tice the girls away from home and take them to another State, began a systematic campaign of coercion and inducement to get them to flee the State with them. . Their Stories to the Girls. T ha.v Uia.d Lb* atfLUJig uoznen LhaL Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Caminetti nad found out about their relations and had procured warrants for their ar rest from the Juvenile Court and were only awaiting the appropriate time to serve them: that Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Caminetti were relentless and intended ;o expose the whole matter, and that the families of the girl would be disgraced and ruined; that the only way to save the girls from disgrace was secretly to leave the city and go to another State, where they would acquire a resi dence. the men would divorce their wives and marry the girls, etc. “The y<rung women were in abso lute terror. Thev repeatedly appealed to the defendants to allow them to remain at home and not to disgrace them, and begged to be allowed to unbosom their indiscretions to their parents and have their advice. “Up to this time, according to the uncontradicted evidence, Diggs had been unduly intimate with Miss War rington tor a <ew weeks; the Norris girl had never been violated before this trio to Reno “On arrival at Reno they were as signed to bedrooms, Diggs and Miss Wirrington occupying one room and Caminetti and Miss Norris the other. According to the testimony of the young women, they were wholly in the hands of their male companions. They had never been away from home or their parents before and felt that they’ were powerless to save them- S'dves. i ncr to the men to know CADILLAC, MICH., Aug. 9.—Sheriff Chamberlain has been asked by an at torney in Corning. N. Y., to locate Bes sie Weaver, who was adopted by a Manton, Mich., family from a New York foundling home over twenty years ago, and a few days ago became heir to $100,- 000. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Weaver, of Man- ton, who adopted the child when on a trip through New York, returned her to the home five years later. Since that time nothing has been heard from her.
