EIGHT MARRIED MEN FOR JURY IN DIGGS CASE San Francisco, Aug. 6 Maury I. Diggs, the young ' Sacramento archi tect whose elopement to .Reno, Nev., with Miss Marsha Warrington in com pany with Drew Caminetti and Lola Norris precipitated a nation-wide scan dal, sat behind his attorneys In the United States district court, today, in his usual faultless attire. Facing him when court open"" wefe the 11 Jurymen, mostly men with grown boys and girls, temporarily passed, yester day. None of the defendant's. 10 per emptory challenges had been exercis ed. Drew Caminetti also sat with Diggs among th eattorneys which are conducting their defense. Among the scores of spectators, yes terday, there were only three women. It developed after the United States marshal had called through the cor ridors for "B. .E. Donaldson" and "N. J. Abbott" that the two missing ve niremen were women. "It is Just as well," said Judge Van Fleet. "No women would be accepted as jurymen in this court." It' was rumored in- the courtroom, today, that the wives whom Diggs and Caminetti deserted -on their trip to Reno would sit beside their . hus bands when the taking of testimony begins. ' Attorneys for both sides inquired particularly into the family life of the veniremen, yesterday, the unfail ing questions being "Are you t mar Tied?" "How many children have you?" "How old are they?" and "Are they boys or girls? , The eight married men temporarily passed have 22 children among them.

BLACKSMITH, AGED 71, MARRIED IN BROOKLYN Bridgeport Youth Fined By Judge Wakeman For Reckless Driving Takes Appeal. (By our Special Correspondent.) Fairfield, August 6. Daniel Williams of Bridgeport, was found guilty of reckless driving by Judge Bacon Wakeman in the town court yesterday and fined $100 and costs. Through his counsel, Attorney Lawrence J. Finkle- stone he took an appeal to the Septem ber term of the Common Pleas court under bonds of $200 which were fur nished by George McCormack of Bridgeport. Williams driving a Studebaker ma chine was in collision at Main and Church streets on Sunday June 22 with the Pierce-Arrow . car of Garret P. Winants of New York, residing in Fair field for the summer, and driven by George O. Pitzipio of New Tork. The, Studebaker car was thrown about and upon the top of its occupants, one of whom. Jack Shepherd of Bridgeport, sustained a fracture of the skull and and whose life was dispared of for a considerable time. He is now under the care of physicians at a country home in Bethel. George McCormack a well known JBridgeport-youngman, an other, occupant sustained a severe shaking1 up which compelled him to rest. In fact the trial of the case was held up until this time because of his condition. Daniel and Gurdon ' Will lams were also in the car but did not receive any severe injuries, though the former was in the hospital for a week. In the Pierce-Arrow car besides Pit zipio were Miss Doris Winants and the chauffeur. None of tiem were injured. . Several weeks ago before Judge Wakeman, Pitzipio was found guilty of reckless driving and was fined $100 and costs. He also took appeal to the higher courts. When the case was opened yesterday, Daniel Williams, a youth of 18 years, pleaded not guilty to the charge of reckless driving. John Anderson who for many years has been a -gardener for Samuel Wheeler, was the first witness called by the state. He related to the court that on Sunday June 22, he was about to cross Main street tout stopped when he saw a machine approaching . It was the Williams car which he judged was travelling' about. 25f miles an hour. The witness was in doubt whether the machine slowed up as it reached the corner -of Church street or not. The witness was positive in his statements that the Williams car did - not sound any - signal as the corner was ap proached. Questioned by the defense he was positive that if a signal was sounded he would have heard it. . Harold Bullard, who resides at the south-east corner of Main: and Church streets was on his front porch at the time of the accident. His attention was fleet attracted when he heard the rumbling .of a fast approaching car (the Wlnant's car) coming from the beach. ' The car was going at such a speed " said witness, " that I was in terested In ascertaining whether the car would take the turn or go directly across. I - then noticed a black odject to my side, the William's car". . The witness stated that from his position. he ' was sitting at an angle facing Main street, the William's car was discernible about 150 feet from the corner. Hie considered mat two sec onds elapsed between the time he saw the Williams car and the' time it reached the corner. When maps and diagrams were shown giving . the ex act measurements of the roadway, Mr. Bullard changed his 150 feet to 70 feet.. At this point of the proceedings counsel and Mr. Bullard took out pen cil and paper figuring how fast, the car did go when Mr. Bullard gave the time ; and the distance. Mr. Bullard gave as his -figure from 30 to 35 miles per hour. Relative to the sounding of the horn, Mr. Bullard was not pos itive. George McCormack estimated that the ear was going 20 to 25 miles, but no more. He was satisfied that the horn was sounded as the corner was approached. Referring to the speed of the5 car, Mr. McCormack stated that the car had slowed down at Benson's corner as several had alighted from a trolley car. The car was then, running on second speed, reduced rate. . "After being struck, how far did you go ?" asked Attorney Finklestone of witness". I went a good distance, myself; but I don't know how far the car went". . It was while witness McCormack was giving his testimony that Attor ney William B. Boardman, who is one of thte counsel . for George O. Pitzipio, wedged himseif into the proceedings by exclaiming to the court that the witness was being coached by the Wil liams boys who sat directly to his rear. Both young men denied the charge stating what Mr. Boardman had overheard was a few words pas sed between themselves. The court did not heed the atorney's suggestion, while Attorney Finkelstone denied that there was any attempt to effect a miscarriage of justice I Continuing his testimony. Witness McCormack explained that when he saw the Winant car bearing down upon them, he shouted to Williams, " Turn Dan, turn." Williams at the same time applied the Ibrakes and made a sharp turn to the right as if to go up -Church street. The car was half way across the cross over at the time. The Williams car was hit on" the side between the front wheel and the step. Mr. McCormack was the only witness called by the ' defense. At one time while Grind Juror King was delivering his arguments asking for the finding guilty of the accused. Attorney Finklestone added a few remarks of correction. This angered Attorney King who exclaimed "You're not the court. It will be some time be fore you will be". "The feeling Is quite mutual, I. assure you," came back Mr. Finklestone. In passing judgment, Judge Wake man said, "It is true that the- burden of proof is put upon the state, the state must show beyond a doubt that there has been reckless driving. The .evi dence shows beyond question . that the car was being driven between 20 and 25 miles per hour. The place is in the center of the town and one where more than ordinary care is required. The fact that the accident occurred is snm clent proof that the driver was driving recklessly. The law reads speed of more than ten miles an hour at a cross over is reckless driving. It confirms that they were driving recklessly.- The court finds the accused guilty"; MEREDITH'S CAFE, 54 East Washing-ton Ave. apj Information that George Monroe, who conducts a blacksmith shop in Cross Highway, had gone to Brook lyn during, the day and secured -a li cense to wed Mary Elizabeth Donovan of 258 Green street, that city,, was re ceived here yesterday afternoon.

' , Sheriff Elwood has put in an order for the two new cells which are to be fitted up in the recently leased house in Mirine avenue. Shipment should have been made by this time, but there has been a hitch somewhere.
