Marsha Warrington, Not Young
Woman With Whom Defendant
Fled, State’s Chief Witness.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29—Oov-
eminent attorneys in the white slave
trial of F. Drew Caminettl to-day
admitted that they were depending
upon the testimony of Marsha War
rington as their strongest evidence
against Caminetti, although the name
of Lola Norris was linked with that
of the defendant in the elopment to
Reno. Miss Warrington’s testimony
was effective in bringing about the
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 VanFleet 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
of her husband’s infidelity became
public property, Mrs. Maury I. Diggs
heard it yesterday from the lips of
Marsha Warrington, "the other wo
man.” Marsha told the same story
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
tently, rigidly wincing at certain
parts of the testimony.
(’including her testimony for the
Jav Marsha Warrington walked to
a .-•er>t at the table of counsel for
the Government. Facing her, as she
crew near, stood Mrs. Diggs-at the
table of counsel for the defense,
staring her steadfastly in the face,
v.ith orlv the width of the aisle be
tween he two 'tables separating
them The girl turned her head and
looked away.
Caminetti’s Wife Absent.
Midway between the two tables
stood Diggs, who, after adjournment,
joined his wife. Ite looked noncha
lantly, first at one woman and then
• at the other, talking the meanwhile
with Caminetti.
The girls 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 with 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 Caminetti
and that it was in Reno that she
yielded, after promise of marriage
«vas made to her.
Thus far the wife, children and
mother of Caminetti have not ap
peared in the courtroom.

said:
"The progressive civilization of the

in the reduced vitality of the multi

in the diminishing size of families, in

Virginia Reel, Spanish Whirl and
Tango Combined in Delight
ful New Step.
The fox—the common red fox—has
reached the acme of fame and re
nown; he has been immortalized by
having a dance named for him, and
sits happily and serenely alongside
the turkey, the rabbit and the bear.
The latest is the Fox Fandango.
It is the outcome of a tour of ex
ploration by some of the younger so
ciety set, who, in their everlasting
search for something new. wound up
one day at Grant Park.
Struck with the beauty and grace
of the red fox as he dragged his
frightened little body into his hole,
one of the visitors suggested that, in
asmuch as the movements of the tur
key, the rabbit and all the other ani
mals had been utilized by the danc
ing master, It would be a novelty to
introduce something based on the
graceful movements of the fox.
So last Friday night at a Tech
dance at the Crystal Palace, the Fox
Fandango was originated. It is a
graceful dance, without having the
taint of suggestiveness that has
marred the trots, the hugs and the
tangos, and it promises to become all
the rage in Atlanta social circles.
The dance is a combination of the
Virginia reel, the Spanish fandango
and the tango. This Is about how
you do it:
First you bow gracefully—if you
cari^—as in the Virginia re^l; then you
take' the walking steps of the tango
and waltz them slowly, very slowly;
then you tear the fast-going right
out of the heart of the Spanish
dances aid waltz rapidly, although it
is not necessary that you place the
tip of the fingers on the head, or
hang on to your belt with the other
hand. You are allowed the liberty of
interpolating any elaborations you
may desire.
Miss Caroline Briggs, a Tech favor
ite, and Perry Burrus, a sophisticated
sophomore, were among the crowd
who originated the new dance, and
their interpretation of the Fox Fan
dango was one of the best shown at
the Crystal Palace.
ELIHU ROOT HAS COAT OF TAN.

bail. Lawyers for Thaw tried to get
the hearing adjourned until next
Wednesday.
The bail is exactlv the amount >f
the fine that would he imposed on
Thompson if he had been found guilty,
and it is admitted by lawyers that
the depositing of this sum virtual!''
ends Thompson’s case. It is believed
that Thompson will get out of Can
ada and forfeit his bail.
When the case was called, the
crown attorneys announced they were
ready to try Thompson on the charge
of ‘‘enteiing the country by stealth.”
Thaw’s lawyers, who also represent
Thompson, said that they expected
the hearing to be on the charge that
Thompson had “aided an insane man
to enter Canada.”
Assistant Superintendent of Immi
gration Blake Robertson stated that
the crown was not ready to take up
this charge until next Monday.
Thaw has wone another victory in
his fight against going hack to the
Matteawan, although the result in
this case may prove only temporary.
Ex-District Attorney Jerome, who
is here in the capacity of a deputy at

Jerome had planned to petition Sir
Lomar to quash all proceedings the
courts here have instituted so that
the representatives of the Canadian
Department of Immigration might act
at once.
Thaw to Shift Fight
To Pittsburg Soon.
PITTSBURG, PA., Aug. 29.—Harry
Thaw’s fight for freedom will be
shifted to Pittsburg soon. Plans for
a battle in the courts are being laid.
Thaw will petition for $10,000 from
tlie fund held in trust for him by the
Fidelity Title and Trust Company,
which amounts to $30,000.
If the courts recognize Thaw’s plea
for funds with which to fight his
battle against the State of New York
and his sanity is thereby established
by such act of the court, the Canadian
authorities will be placed in a pe
culiar position inasmuch as Thaw will
be held insane by New York and
sane by his resident State of Penn

Sold Cow in Advance,
Spent Night Catching
One; Now He Is in Jail
Two Girls He Accosted and Police
Crush His Single-Handed
War on Americans.
After he had spent almost the en
tire night running down and lassoing
a cow In a pasture near the Federal
prison, Ellis Gresham, a negro living
at No. 15 Moseley street, wan arrested
Friday morning at 4 o’clock when he
offered the animal for sale to Sam
Mauldin, a butcher at No. 580 Deca
tur street.
Gresham asked Mauldin late Thurs
day if he would buy a cow. Mauldin
said he would, and Gresham said he
Because he became imbued with
the idea that one Mexican is the equal
of a great many American policemen,
C. E. Ellison, No. 153 Walton street,
who says he is a Mexican employed
by the Atlanta Gas Company, occu
pied a cell at police headquarters Fri
day, nursing several large and painful
bumps on the head, inflicted by Offi
cer Thompson and Officer Lynan dur
ing the process of relieving ills mind
of his hallucination.
Ellison had a day off Thursday, and
in the absence of anything else to do
he drank copiously of mescal and de
voured the newspaper stories of the
Mexican trouble. The more he drank
and the more he read the more indig
nant he became that President Wil
son should tell President Huerta
where to "head in.” Indignation filled
his soul. He thirsted for the gore of
an American, and forthwith started
out to find a fresh, untainted Ameri
can on whom he might wreak ven
geance.
Girls Kick His Shins.
By some strange freak of chance
Ellison wound up in the Syrian quar
ter on Marietta street, In Brooklyn,
and 'nformed two passing Syrian
girls that Mei 'can courage and Mexi
can mescal make a winning combi
nation. The Syrian girls didn’t be
lieve It. One of them kicked Ellison
in the whins, and the other slapped
his face.
Ellison began to explain volubly
that he had no fuss with Syria, hut
before he gat through Officer Lynan,
a large and imposing figure of a man,
came up.
"Ha!” said Ellison. "An American!
Curses on them!"
Officer Lynan reached out a large
hand and grasped Ellison firmly by
the collar.
"Gome with me!” he s»Mted firmly.
"Leggo!” shouted the brave Mexi
can. “I’m a Mexican and 1 won’t
stand for no interference from an
American. I can whip any American
that ever worse shoes. I’ll bite you
if you don’t loggo’."
He made an if to chew the officer's
club. Lynan grinned and tapped him
on the head. Ellison grunted, but
subsided. Lynan tailed the wagon
and the brave Mexican was loaded
Into it, fighting and protesting.
Finally Admits Defeat.
En route to the station house Elli
son felt his courage rising up in him
again, and he turned on Officer
Thompson, who guards the prisoners
until Judge Broyles gets hold of them.
"You’re an American, too." Ellison
said. "I guess I can lick you, too.”
Officer Thompson grinned and said
nothing. Ellison made a p*U9* at
Thomp.aon. The officer sighed, be
cause it was a shafhe to do It, and
tapped Ellison on the nead. The Mex
ican subsided with a low, despairing
gurgle, and as the waters closed over
his head, he murmured:
“Let Huerta fight ’em; I got
enough.”
The Mexican was arraigned before
Councilman Charles W. Smith, Act
ing Recorder at the morning session
of Police court and fined $100.75 or 30
days. Unable to pay the fine, he went
out in the big "redbird wagon, pro
testing that “Americano justice is en*
tirely too swift.”
would bring the animal Friday morn
ing. Mauldin notified the police, and
when Gresham, panting and almost
exhausted from his hard work in
catching the cow, appeared, he was
arrested by Patrolman Hannah.
Gresham says he doem't know
whose cow it is, but admitted he took
the animal out of a pasture.
"Lawdy, boss,” he said, "I done
think I earned dat cow. Dat’s the
liveliest cow I ever seed. I chased dat
cow all over de pasture all night be
fore I cotched her.”

Priceless Manet Art
Found in Henhouse
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PARIS, Aug. 29.—Caesar’s ashes

forcibly recalled by the remarkable
announcement Just made that a price
less painting by Manet has been
found to have patched a hole In the
roof of a henhouse in the back gar
den of Ziem, the well-known painter,
who died recently.
As the picture must have been
nailed to the shed before Manet be
came famous, the inference is that
it served to keep the rain off chick

FOLSOWI WILL III
Further litigation over the will of
Leonard B. Folsom, for twenty years
proprietor of Folsom’s restaurant and
hotel in Marietta street, was begun
Friday morning, when the heirs of
Jacob V. Johnson, Folsom’s cashier,
filed a petition in the Superior Court
seeking to obtain $2,500 alleged *o
have been willed to Johnson.
The complaint is made against
Henry L. Folsom, of California,
nephew and executor of the estate.
The airing of the issue in the courts
Is the climax of a long and interest
ing story. Johnson, "the fal hful and
trusted cashier” in Folsom’s employ,
the petitioners assert was rewarded
by his employer by the promise of a
bequest of $2,500 upon the death of
the latter, with the provision that he,
Johnson, was still in the employ of
Folsom.
In the meantime Folsom went out
of business, but Johnson continued to
act as cashier at the Folsom restau
rant. Soon after this Johnson died,
and later Folsom died.
The Johnson heirs now assert that
the disposition of Folsom’s business
discharged the condition of the pay
ment to Johnson, and as lawful heirs
they claim the $2,500 share of the
Folsom estate. The petition is signed
by a half dozen members of the John
son family.
STATE TO BETTER
fill! ON COITI
An effort will be made by the State
Department of Agriculture to improve
upon the methods of collecting data
regarding the movement and produc
tion of cotton In Georgia, and In this
connection Assistant Commissioner i f
Agriculture Dan Hughes is working
hard to arrive at some ac urate sys
tem of handling the proposition.
"It Is our Intention to furnish a
weekly report to the farmers through
the press regarding the production
ar.d movement of cotton,” said Mr.
Hughes. "We will attempt to obtain
the co-operation of the railroads and
the co-operation of the dealers and
handlers of cotton In the big inland
markets. By comparison with the
previous yea^s showing this would
give us a good Idea of exact condi
tions.
"We are In communication with Di
rector of the Census W. J. Harris and
expect to obtain much Information
and assistance from him. We will
receive regular reports from him as
to the cotton ginned In Georgia,
which we will transmit to the public
In weekly reports to be published In
