RESTRAIN PUNISHMENT OF
WHITE SLAVERS.
SHE MOST
District Attorney for California Feder
al Court Offers Resignation Giving
Publicity to Conditions, That Lead
Up to It Influence and Wealth
Saved White Slave Defendants.
Sari Francisco,. June ' 21. John L.
McNab has tendered his resignation, as
district attorney to President Wilson
because he had been ordered by At
torney General McReynoIds to post-.
2one, until autumn the trials of Drew
Icaminettison of the commissioner of
immigration, and Marry Diggs, -who
are charged under the white slave act.
McNab's message to the president
was: "I have the honor to tender my
resignation as United States Attorney
of the northern district to take effect
immediately." I am ordered by the
attorney general, over protests to post
pone the trials of Diggs and Caminetti
indicted for a' hideous crime, which
ruined two respectable homes and also
shocked the moral sense of the peo
ple of California.
"Attempts have been made to cor
rupt the government witnesses and
friends of the defendants have been
publicly boasting that wealth and po-
litical prominence of relatives will be
procured and my hand be . stayed:
through influence at Washington. .
ft "In these cases, two girls were taken;
ora ' cultured homes, . bullied and
Hrightened , into going to a foreign
tate where they were ruined and de;
bauched by tne aeienaanis, who nave
abandoned wives and infants to com
mit the crime.
In bitter humiliation I
am compelled to acknowledge what I;
have indignantly retused to Deneve
that the department is yielding to in
fluences which cripple and destroy
usefulness n this office. I cannot
consent to occupy a position as an au
tomatom and have the guilt or inno
cence of rich and powerful defend
ants indicted by unbiased grand jurys
determined at Washington on repre
sentation in behalf of the defendants
unknown to me."
