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.

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.” Augusta-Columbus Railroad Proposed COLUMBUS, Aug. 19.—A move- j inent which had its origin in Macon, with a strong second by the Colum bus Board of Trade, has come to light which proposes a direct railroad line between Columbus and Augusta, pass ing through Macon and the county seat of every county which it would touch.
