GIRL DECLARES THAT FEAR OF PUBLICITY
IMPELLED HER TO GO ON TRIP TO RENO
general panel until Friday morning
at 10 o'clock.
Immediately upon the completion
of the Caminetti case Diggs and hia
attorney. Charles B Harris of Sac
ramento, will go to trial on the
charge of subornation of perjury
growing out ot the .alleged attempt
of the two to "fix** trie testimony of
Marhsa Warrington.
HobbQng on a crutch and wincing
with patn at every atep, William
Adams, broker, 423 Kearny
street, walked to the* jjury box, and
the trial of Caminetti was resumed
after a vacation since Friday.
To give the attorneys more time in
which to prepare a bill of exceptions
and motion for a ne wtria), the sen
tence of Mafcry I. Diggs, former state
architect, found guilty on a charge
fimiiar to the Caminetti case, was
postponed to September 10.
The defendant, Diggs, who was in
the courtroom when his name was
called, appeared entirely at ease. He
seemed entirely confident he would
not know the sentence for a few days
at least. Immediately after Judge
Van Fleet announced the continuance
Diggs picked up his hat and hurried
from tbe courtroom.
Adams, the injured Juror in the Caml.
netti case, was caught in an automo
bile accident, near Sain Jose, Satur
day. He sustained a badly wrenched
shoulder and several bones In his
right foot ware cruskied. Until yes
terday physicians were of the opin
ion ,that Adams would be In no con
dition *to return to the trial, but
Adams'insisted pluekily that he was
not going to delay the case a day.
Marsha Warrington, the companion
Of Dlggs on the Reno elopement, re
turned to the witness chair for her
redirect examination by Theodore
Reche.
Judge Van Fleet asked Juror Adams
if he felt efficiently able to go ahead
with the trial. Adams replied that
he did Judge Van Fleet congratu
lated him upon his narrow escape.
Miss Warrington's redirect exam
ination built .up many of the breaks in
her story that had been made by the
careful cross examination of S. Luke
Howe last Friday.
The redirect tended largely to es
tablish that Dlggs was entirely re
sponsible for the delicate oondition in
which Miss Warrington fonnd herself
a few weeks before leaving Sacra
mento. This argument tbe defense
Intends to contradict.
Q. —How soon after you met Dlggs
In the latter part of October did you
first "visit his office?
A.—ln the early part of November.
Q. —Do you remember being cross
examined about the Jackson trip
made by the four of you on election

thing out of the ordinary occur on
that question.
A.—No.
Q. —Had you visited Dlggs' office be
fore the Jackson trip?
A.—Possibly once.
Q. —How soon after the Jackson trip
did you first have Intimate relations
with Dlggs?
A.—About a week.

I another.
Q. —With reference to the date of

have that conversation with Mr. Dlggs
on the levee, in which you first re
ferred to your condition?
A.—About two weeks before.
q.—in that conversation what was
said about Diggs leaving Sacramento
and when?
A. —I understood htm to mean that
he was going that night or the next
morning.
Judge Van Fleet inquired of Mr.
Roche what the Intent of this exami
nation was. and Roche replied he
would show that Dlggs arranged on
that night to have Marsha Warring
ton see a doctor; that they did at
tempt to see a physician, but, not
finding him. made an arrangement
whereby Miss Warrington would visit
him. even though Dlgga might be
away from town.
q.—What did you say to Diggs as
you left him that night?
A. —I told him goodby. I expected
he was going away.
Q. —When did you next hear from
him?
A—He called me on the telephone
the next morning.
Q. —Was that the first you knew
that he had not left Sacramento?
Judge Van Fleet sustained an ob
jection and decided it was not mate
rial to this Issue for the prosecution
to show the arrangement between
Marsha Warrington and Diggs with
regard to the physician.
Q. —Did you ever have any conver
sation with Dlggs In which your con
dition was discussed as the cause for
your leaving Sacramento?
A.—No.

and Mr. Caminetti until they secured
their divorces, which would mean six
months.
Witness Mertin, a real estate man
of said that Diggs and Cami
netti represented themselves as ca'tle
buyers intending to work out of Reno,
j They said they might be there a year,
| depending on business. Both the men
j examined the cottage and said they
would take possession the next morn
ing. He was not introduced to either
of the ladles.
Cross examination failed to change
Merton's story.
GIRL'S FATHER OUT STAND
W. E. Norris, father \>t Lola Norris,
was the next witness. He said that
he lived at 1012 P street Sacramento,
and had lived there for many years
With his wife and daughter Lola. Nor
ris, who said that he was a retired
railroad man, stated that he met
Caminetti at his house as "Mr. Whit
man." He was Introduced by Lola.
The only time he had any conversa
tion with him, however, was when
Caminetti came, as he said, to take I
Lola to the theater one night, and
while Whitman or Caminetti was
waiting for Lola to dress Norris in
vited him into the house and talked
with him. He. said that Caminetti
called there a number of other times,
but he did not see bl m then. Mr.
Norris was excused without cross ex
amination.
Lola Norris followed her father on
the stand. She was pale and spoke
In such a low tone of voice that
Judge Van Fleet had continually to
urge her to speak up. The Judge
took advantage of this to take a sar
castic fling at the morbidly curious
women in the courtroom.>
JUDGE REBUKES MORBID
"I do Wish, Miss Norris," he said,
"that you would speak up. I notice
the women In the back of the room
have to cup their hands to their ears
to hear you."
Miss Norris did not look at Cam
inetti while she was telling her story.
She said that she lived with her
father In Sacramento and was his
only child. In March, 1918, she was
employed In the library of the state
capltol. She was going to night
school at that time. She said she
was 19 years old last March:
She had known Marsha Warrington
for a number of years quite inti
mately. She had known Drew Cam
inetti for a little over a year, but up
to several months ago only In a cas
ual manner. The first time she ever
went out with him was In the last
part of October, 1912. He had never
called at her house before that time.
FIRST MEETING WITH DIGGS
She first met Maury I. Dlggs when
she was out with Caminetti. Cam
inetti, she said, rang her up on the
telephone and asked her if she would
introduce him to Miss Warrington,
as his friend, Dlggs, was very anxious
to meet her. Lola said she would
Introduce him.
Before that time, she stated, Diggs
had called her up on the telephone
once or twice and represented himself
as Caminetti.
" Did you know at that time that
Caminetti was married?" asked Mr.
Roche.
"Yes," she replied.
"Did you know that Dlggs was mar
ried?"
"Yes."
Miss Norris stated that the four
of them—Dlggs, Miss Warrington,
Caminetti and herself—went out to
gether a few days later, and that
after that they used to go out three
or four times a week. Caminetti
would call for her as Mr. Whitman.
Dlggs was at her house on only one
occasion, when he came with Cami
netti. The girl stated that while she
was attending night school some
times Caminetti came along, and
sometimes the rest of the quartet
would meet her.
Sometimes they would go automo
bile riding, sometimes they would go
to Dlggs' office. When they did the
latter they would usually remain
there from 8 or 9 o'clock until about
11:30. Sometimes when they were
automobile riding they would visit a
roadhouse.
"Did you ever have any Intoxicating
drinks?" asked Roche.
"Yes," she answered; "sometimes."
"Did you personally order them, or
did Miss Warrington?" asked Roche.
DIGGS ORDERED THE DRINKS
"No; Mr. Dlggs ordered them," was
the reply.
"Who paid for them?"
"Mr. Diggs paid for them."
Lola Norris said that she some
times went out with Caminetti alone,
and on such occasions they usually
went to Dlggs' office, to which Cami
netti had a key. Roche asked the
girl if Caminetti had discussed his
wife with her.
She replied that he had, and that
he had told her he was not happy
with his wife, and he was about ready
to separate. Once or twice before
March 1 he mentioned the matter of
divorce.
"What was his attitude toward
you?" asked Roche.
"He told me that he loved me."
"How many times did he tell you
that?"
"A great many times."
"What was his manner toward you?
What would he do or say?"
"He told me that he loved me," the
girl repeated.
"What did he do?"
"I don't know what ha did."
"Did he ever put his arms around
you or kiss you?" asked Judge Van
Fleet.
"Yes," the girl whispered.
"Was there ever anything said be
fore March 1 about marriage," in
quired Roche.
"No."
VISIT TO CITY DESCRIBED
A portion of the direct testimony
of Miss Lola Norris follows, Theodore
Roche conducting the examination:
Q.—Recalling the incident of your
visit to the Grand hotel in San Fran
cisco, tell the jury what occurred
when the four of you were directed to
your rooms there.
A.—Just as Miss Warrington and
Mr. Diggs got into one of the rooms
and closed the door, I heard a key
turn in the lock. I went Into the
other room, and going to the door
which separated the two rooms trlea
it, and found It locked. I don't know
whether they heard me or not. I
know for more than an hour, off and
on, I knocked and called to Marsha
to let me in. Finally, Mr. Caminetti
said if didn't quit making so much
noise they would come and put us all
out.
Q. —Did Mr. Caminetti retire that
night?
A—Yes.
Q. —Did you refuse to retire?
A.—Yes.
Q. —How did it happen on the day
following that you went to San Jose
Instead Of returning to Sacramento?
A.—Mr. Diggs spent most of the
afternoon looking around for a tire
for his automobile. Finally he got
one and we went to San Joße. It was
about 5 o'clock when we got there,
and Mr. Diggs said it would be use
less to try to make Sacramento that
night, and there was nothing for us
to do but stay there.
At this junoture of her testimony
Miss Norris halted long at every
question, and It was at thts point that
her tears overflowed her eyes.
RECALLS STOCKTON TRIP
Then Miss Norris recalled the trip
Of the party of four in the automo
bile to Stockton, where they visited
the "Old Heidelberg" roadhouse, had
Intoxicating drinks and retired to
private rooms.
Q. —When did you first hear "of the
plan to leave Sacramento?
A. —It was over the telephone on the
Sunday previous to the Sunday on
which we left. Mr. Dlggs called me
and said he had something very im
portant he though I ought to know.
I asked him to tell me over the tele
phone, and he went on to say there
were stories about the city of our
relations with one another, that it was
going to be published. Mr. Caminetti
was with Dlggs, and did some of the
talking over the telephone. They said
Marsha and I would be put through
the third degree and be forced to tell
of all our relations with them and

the truth, and that I would have to go

thing was just as bad as had been
