Accused Will Attempt to Put Part
of the Blame at the Door
of Another Man.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 19.—When
his trial was resumed before Fed
eral Judge Van Fleet to-day Maury
I. Diggs was the first witness called
to deny that he was guilty of violat
ing the white slavery law in eloping
to Reno with Marsha Warrington
Drew Caminettl and Lola Norris.
It waa contended by counsel for the
defense that Diggs and Caminettl did
not take the two girls to Reno for
immoral purposes, but to escape ar
rest and prosecution by their wives
That Diggs will attempt to make a
Bacramento man share responsibility
for the downfall of Marsha Warring
ton was one of the things hinted at
to-day by persons in his confidence.
Whether Judge Van Fleet will allow
testimony of this character, however,
was problematical.
Diggs will be followed on the stand
by his wife and Mrs. Caminettl.
Caminettl will also be a witness.
The appearance of the wives of the
young men at the trial promised to
invest it with renewed interest to
day. Mrs. Diggs, a handsome bru
nette, was in court with her young
daughter, Evelyn, several days last
week.
Both Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Cami-
netti will testify that they had
threatened their husbands and their
girl affinities with prosecution by the
Juvenile Court of Sacramento and
that these threats primarily were re
sponsible for their flight to Reno.
Marshall Woodworth, one of the
attorneys associated in the defense,
said that the outcome of the Diggs
trial would have no effect on the
plans for the trial of Caminettl. Ac
cording to Woodworth, Caminettl in
tends to adhere to his plea of not
guilty and stand trial whether Diggs
is convicted or freed.

Prelate Against
Sex Equality Idea
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 19.—"I do not I
believe the Creator intended the posi- i
tion of woman in the world should be
the name ns that of man.” Archbishop
Sebastian G. Messmer, of the Mil
waukee diocese, told the Catholic
Press Association, in speaking against
woman suffrage.
“However,” he added, ‘‘I would not
dare to come out with a positive
statement that agitation for woman
suffrage Is against the rules of the
church. The church has not taken
any definite stand, and until it does,
each Individual has a right to think,
talk and act as he sees fVt.”

‘I'm a Blacksmith/
Says Harding Davis
NEW YORK, Aug. If.—A young
newspaper reporter, paper and pencil
in hand, darted briskly among the
crowd at Healy’s Restaurant during
the process of ejecting the diners. He
saw a man continually in the shadow
of District Attorney Whitman.
"Will you give me your name,
please?” asked the young news gath
erer.
"Davte!" replied the other
“May I have your first name?”
questioned the youth.
“Richard Harding—Richard Hard
ing Davis."
‘‘What is your occupation?”
"Oh. I’m a blacksmith."
Officer’s Wounds Are Serious
Following Attempt to Close
Store in East Point.
Bailiff J. P. Gaddy is lying serious
ly wounded at his home in East Point
Tuesday morning, with bullet wounds
in his breast, shoulder and right arm,
following a pistol battle with J. J.
Willis, an East Point storekeeper,
late Monday afternoon.
Willis fired six shots at Gaddy
when the officer attempted to place
him under arrest on a warrant charg
ing contempt of court. A few min
utes after the shooting Willis was
arrested by Policeman Creel, of Col
lege Park, while trying to make his
scape into the open country.
Gaddy was taken to his home at No.
i Pine street, in East Point, and his
wounds dressed by Dr. E. C. Suggs.
Four of the shots fired by Willis
took effect, the first entering the right
breast and ranging downward under
the left arm, th e second shattered the
bones of the right elbow, and the last
two striking the officer in the shoul
der. Dr. Suggs stated last night that
Gaddy will live.
The warrant for Willis’ arrest was
issued because he had opened his
store in violation of a writ of attach
ment served upon him several weeks
ago, after George Harris, a cotton
mill worker, had obtained a Judg
ment for $1,000 against Willis for
false imprisonment. Willis had pre
viously had Harris arrested on a
charge of obtaining goods under false
pretenses, and had lost the case.
“When I went after Willis I was
accompanied by my brother-in-law,
John Wynn," said Sheriff Gaddy in
telling of the shooting. "We found
Willis sitting on the steps of his
store. When he saw us he ran into
the building. When I got inside he
covered me with a gun. I told him
not to shoot and started for him.
He fired, the bullet strikng me in the
breast. I then drew my gun, but be
fore I could shoot another bullet
struck me in the elbow. I was help
less, and staggered out of the front
door. As I did so Willis fired four
times and two of the bullets struck
me In the back.”
