Drew Caminetti, charged with being a white slaver, have made no apparent headway in th«!r efforts to put the blame for the elopement to Reno of Maury Diggs, already con victed on a white slave charge; Mar sha Warrington, Lola Norri# and Caminetti upon the shoulders of Diggs. Questions purporting to show that Diggs was the moving spirit in ar ranging and managing the trip from Sacramento to Reno aroused Federal Judge VanFleet until he asked At torney Howe: “Is it your theory that Caminetti was also abducted and taken over to Reno?” When court adjourned last evening until next Tuesday, Marsha Warring ton had finished her direct testimony.

VERA CRUZ, MEXICO, Aug 30. - There are 150 Americans here either w'aiting to take passage for the Unit ed States or for developments which will make It possible to remain in this country with safety. Some of the Americans sought in terviews with John Lind, Special En voy of President Wilson, but Mr. Lind could give no information. For the present. It seems, Mr. Lind and his conferee. Foreign Minister Gamboa, are marking time. Consul General Shanklin in Mexico City has been authorized to furnisn passage money to any Americans w r ho are temporarily out of funds. In spite of the protestations of the Mexican Government that all foreigners are safe, both Mr. Shanklip. and Charge d’Affaires Nelson O’Shaughnessy ara urging Americans to leave at once. The insistency with which Ameri cans are warned to leave the country has angered certain men of President Huerta’s Cabinet. "This is not a country of brigands and boxers,” declared Senor Gamboa. “We are able to protect ail foreign peoples. It is not necessary for them to leave.” Dr. Urrutia, Minister of the Interior and the firebrand of the Mexican Cab inet, denounced the warning as a tricx on the part of President Wilson to mislead other nations as to the actual conditions here. “Foreign countries are led to believe that a state of anarchy prevails all over Mexico, but as a matter of fact the greater part of the country is tranquil,” declared Urrutia. There will be a big demonstration in Mexico City to-morrow. French Approve of U. S. Peace Move. Special Cable to The Atlanta Ge^.gian. PARIS, Aug. 30.—The Martin to day stated that the Frnech ministry of foreign affairs was convinced that the United States has the peace and w'ell being of the Mexican republic at heart. “The sincerity and forbearance of the American people Is w'onderful and commendable,” said this paper.

Never abaltlng In her loyalty even after her husband had been convict ed of one of the most shocking crimes in th* history of Georgia, Mrs. Leo M. Frank has been a daily visitor at the Fulton County Tower since the and of the trial and has assisted Frank materially In going over the mountain of testimony that piled up during the four week**. Her Intense Interest in each de velopment of the case that was man ifested throughout the trial now Is receiving a most practical application. While the battle for her husband’s !<f‘: was in progress she could only I suggest now' and then to Frank, by whom she sat. or to one of his* law yers, who sat Juwt In front of frrr. Sees Frank Each Day. * ^QJ 1 , When Solicitor Dorsey declared that she never had gone to the po lice station to see her huaband and laid great s»re«s on this point aa an Indication that she knew Frank w’a«* guilty, she leaned forward In an excited protest, but as no wife Is permitted to testify for or againat her husband In a case of this sort, she w'as forced to keep her silence. When the new trial comes—and she Is confident that one Is coming— r*he propones to see that there shall be some w'ay to show that she never for a moment entertained the shadow of a doubt of her husband’s innocence .and that her demeanor at no time could be construed as one of sus picion Ev*ry afternoon from about 3 o’clock until 5 she is with Frank In his quarters at the Tower. She nev er is quite able to escape from th# consciousness that her husband of on ly a few years is in the shadow of the gallows and that, if the judge’s sentence were to be carried out with out appeal, he would be hanged as the brutal murderer of Mary Phagan on October 10. Reassured by Husband. She is, how’ever, reassured by her husband’s cheerful optimism and she enters eagerly with him into the preparation of certain phases of the case, in w'h’ch Frank is assisting his lawyers. With Frank, she is sifting out all in the testimony of the State and all in the argument of the Solici tor that is declared by the defense to be false or without foundation. On these points the attack of Frank’s lawyers will be centered if the new trial is granted by Judge Roan or by the Supreme Court of the State. She talks with her husband about the every-day events at home part of the time she is with him, but the greater share of the time is spent in a discussion of his case and the best way in which to attack the barrier of evidence that the State has erected about him. Mother Leaves C«ty. Mrs. Rea Frank, mother of the con victed man, Joined in these confer ences for a while, but it became im perative for her to return to Brook lyn, where her aged husband is crit ically ill. She Is expected to be in Atlanta at the time the arguments for a new trial take place before Judge Roan October 4. Frank’a father, because of his in validism, was unable to be present at any time during the rtial. The news of his son’s conviction was a great blow to him. and for a time the phy sicians feared for his life. Reuben Arnold, w’ho has been rest ing for a few days since the trial, is expected to be back at w-ork at the case next week. A long fight in the courts ’s anticipated before Frank’s fate finally is decided. A refusal by Judge Roan to grant a new trial will mean an appeal to the Suprem# Court, and this undoubtedly will entail month* of litigation*
