HUERTA CALLS HIS OWN BLUFF -
The lawyers for Leo M. Prank Fri
day were engaged in getting together
every wrap of evidence possible to
sustain them in their contention that
the jurors who convicted their client
werO intimidated or unduly influenced
by the series of demonstrations out
side the courthouse and inside during
the latter part of the trial.
The newspaper accounts of the ova
tions that were given Solicitor Dor
sey and the popular acclaim which
met every victory of his will form a
large part in the showing which the
defense proposes to make on this par
ticular phase of its movement for a
new trial.
Witnesses have been found who
will testify in regard to the applause
that broke out in the courtroom Sat
urday morning when the Solicitor en
tered to resume his argument to the
jury. There was a spontaneous wave
of hand-clapping
• The defense will represent that it
wag impossible for Frank to receiv?
an impartial trial when the jurors
could so readily observe the temper {
of the people.
Frank "Man With Iron Nerve.”
Assisting; the lawyers with every j
rjieans at his command is Frank him
self. His coolness and confidence witn j
1 he sentence of death hanging over j
him have won him a reputation at the j
Tower for a man with an iron nerve.
He greets his friends with the cheery j
manner and hearty handshake that
hr would employ in his office or in hiej
|l home There is no suggestion of the
dejected and broken man condemned
to be hanged.
Me discusses his case more freely
than he did before the trial, but only
1 o his friends. He is observing his
lawyers' admonition as to interviews
with Hie newspaper reporters. He
has nothing to say to them. He even
has changed his mind, it is under
stood. in regard to the statement he
planned to make in reply to the argu
ment of Solicitor Dorsey. He was in
tending to make it public if his at
torneys approved, but they have in
structed him to have nothing to say
ei presen I.
He is continuing his work along
this line, however, in preparation for
th» new trial which he is entirely
confident of getting. When he is not
chatting with his friends he is looking
over testimony thRt was given at his
trial and is picking out the points in
vie address of the Solicitor which he
maintains were based on false as
sumptions and misrepresentations.
He lias every appearance of a man
engaged in ordinary business or pro
fessional routine In reality ( he ts
taking a remarkable role in the des
perate fight to save himself from the
gallows. That so much is at staae
seems not to affect him in the least.
He goes calmly and unhurriedly about
his work in his quarters at the Tower.
Declares He Is Innocent.
He makes notations here and the. e
on the testimony and on the address
of the solicitor occasionally he de
sires to put something into writing,
"nd he calls for the stenographer from
the pencil factor? The stenographer
comes and the prisoner dictates page
after page of matter in much the
same businesslike tones that he wou.d
acknowledge ol-ders tor the pencils
w Mch hi? Concern manufactures.
•I am innocent, he has told hie
friends, "and sooner or later the
world will know it I am confident
thlt rm innocence, will be proved., „o
there is no need for me to worry.
His wife and his mother have visit
ed him. To them he has been as
cheerful and optimistic as to nit
friends He was the comforter when
Solicitor Dorsey was bitterly excoriat
ing hm at the trial. He quieted his
hysterical wife wl, cn the news of the
K verdict reached the Tower. His
attitude has been the same all
through the week.
‘‘“t will come out all right, never
fear" he said to his wife when she
was’ weeping in hi- cell at the jail,

HER HAIR COSTS HIM WIFE.
PARKERSBURG. W. VA.. Aug 29
Mrs». C. M. Phillips, whose husband,
a prominent oil operator, in a fit of
jealous rage, cut off ner pretty tresses
so that she would no longer be at
tractive to other men. to-day ordered
her lawyer to file an action for di
vorce against her husband,
Marsha Warrington, Not Young
Woman With Whom Defendant
Fled, State's Chief Witness,
8AN FRANCISCO. Aug. 21.—Gov-
ernmeni attorneys in the white slave
trial of F. Drew Caminettl to-day
admitted that thej were depergfcnu
upon ihe testimony of Marsha War
rington as their strongest evidence
against Caminetti. although the name
of Loia Norris was linked with that
of the defendant in the elopment to
Reno. Miss Warrington’s testimony
was effective in bringing about rbe
conviction of Maury L. Diggs on the
same charge.
When the trial was resumed to-day
the court attaches had the daily bat
tle with the crowd of curious men
and women. The story repeated by
Marsha Warrington on the stand yes
terday, which was to be concluded
to-day. was the attraction.
Federal Judge Van Fleet asked the
court officers to inform every young
girl in the corridor that testimony
was being given that was unfit for
them to hear. This did not deter
them, and all who could get in the
van of the crowd sought seats in the
courtroom, determined to hold them
throughout the day.
Wife and Girl Meet.
For the first time since the story j
of her husband's Infidelity became!
| public property, Mrs. Maury I. Diggs (
• heard it yesterday from the lips of J
Marsha Warrington, "the other wo- (
man." Marsha told the same story i
she did in the Diggs trial.
Mrs. Diggs sat just inside the rail .
that divides the audience from the |
bar of the court She listened in- j
tently, rigidly wincing at certain;
parts of the testimony.
Concluding her testimony for the
day Marsha Warrington walked to }
a .seat at the table of counsel for
the Government. Facing her. as she j
drew- near, stood Mrs. Diggs at the
table of counsel for the defense, j
staring her steadfastly in the face,
with only the width of the aisle be
tween the two tables separating
them. The girl turned hef- head and
looked away.
0 Caminetti’s Wife Absent.
Midway between the two table*
stood Diggs, who. after adjournment,
joined his wife He locked noncha
lantly. first at one woman and then
at tne other, talking the meanwhile
with Caminetti.
The girl's story to-day was a
somewhat curtailed repetition of her
testimony in the Diggs trial and car
ried her through the earlier stages
of her experience tfith Diggs to the
point # where Diggs said scandal had
surrounded them and began to urge
the necessity of flight. Her exam
ination will be resumed to-morrow.
Whatever the testimony of Lola
Norris may be. caminetti has an
nounced that he will not dispute it.
The prosecution has stated that it
will attempt to prove that Miss Nor
ris was pure until she met Caminettl
and that it was in Reno that she
yielded, after promise of marriage.
{ was made to her.
Thus far the wife, children and
mother of Caminetti have not ap
peared in the courtroom.

Harry K Thaw has won another vic
tory In his fight i2ainst going back
to the Matte wan, N V.. Asylum for
i he Criminal Jnsuite although the re
suh in this case may prove only tem
porary.
Ex-District Attorney Jerome, who
Is here in the capacity of a deputy ai
torney general of the State of New
York, returned to-day from Quebec
after having failed to see Sir Lomar

important as the Thaw matter in the
absepce of his chief.
“I fear further delay." said Jerome
“We are anxious to rush this case
through We are certain that Thaw
will be deported in the end hut we
do not want to proceedings to cost
any more than necessary.'’

‘Eve Was Made From
Adam's Backbone’
PITTSBURG. Aug. 29. — Woman
was made out of the backbone, not
the rib. of Adam was a theory ad
vanced by Mrs Jessie Hardy Stubbs
of Chicago, who discussed womans
suffrage on Schenley lawn.
"Read the first chapter of Genesis,
not the twenty-fifth and twenty-
oixth verses of the second.” declared
Mrs Stubbs, “and you will find that
God created man—male and female-—
at the same time.
And even if it were true that
woman was made out of man. it must
have been out of the backbone of
Adam, not a rib.”

STRIP
President Huerta Now Inclined to
Look With More Favor on
Peace Proposals.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
VERA CRUZ. MEXICO. Aug. 29
Closest secrecy to-day surrounded the
movement* of John Lind, the specie'
envoy of President Wilson, who came
heie with pacification proposals.
Mr Lind was still here this morn
ing. but refused to soy whether or not
he would go to Mexico City during the
day to attempt to reopen negotiation-’
with the Mexican Government.
I am under obligations to kee*.
silent.” said Mr. Lind. I would be a
poor diplomatic agent If I gave no
tice of intentions before I formed my
own mind on them.”
Coded diplomatic messages were
exchanged between this city and
Washington, and als.» between Mr.
Lind and Charge d Affaires Nelson
O'Shaughnepsy of the United State*
Embassy in Mexico City.
At the United States Consulate
here ii was said that Mr. Lind had
not revealed hi* intentions there. !t
was not even known whether orders
had been received by the Special En-
vo> from Washington to return to
the Mexican Capital
It wa* pointed out. however, that
Mr. Lind's instructions were so com
prehensive that he might return tn
Mexico City within ids own discre
tion if h*' thought that good wnuid
result from such a move.
Hale Also Silent.
William B Hale, special investi
gator for fhe Stare Department, who
came here from Mexico City to tak*
passage to-dav on the Ward liner
Moio Castle for New York, wa -
equally silent.
Press dispatches from Mexico City
stated that the streets were full -*1
rumors and that even the press no
tices were contradictory and mislead-
ing
From the mass of rumors, however,
it was gathered that President Huerta
is now disposed to accept the pro
posals of President Wilson and prob
ably will soon give notice of his ,n-
tentions.
In spite of the aggressive asser
tion- of Foreign Minister Gamboa in
his rejoinder to Mr. Lind's second
note, it is known that the Government
has been influenced by President Wil
son's announcement that the United
States Government will influence
bankers to make a big loan to th*
Mexican Government.
It is believed that the United Slate*
will do as it has done in Cent <
America that is. to guarantee t!i.
payment of the loan If negotiation
are opened under such circumstances.
Mexico probably will ask for about
130,000,000.
Mexico Is Bluffing,
Says Col. Van Orsdale.
The United State* War Department
does not expect war with Mexico, but.
every preparation has been made for
immediate action, in case ir become*
inevitable, according to Colonel Van-
Orsdale. commanding officer at Fort
Mi Pherson.
“Mexico is only trying to blufT the
United States. ’ aaid Colonel VanOre-
ilale. They do not want war any
more than we do They know w r hat
tile outcome would be. But they do
want to rule their country in their
own way. and they believe that the
United States has no right to inter
fere.
