Wincing ftR though It wcro tho generally nntlclnatcd verdict of "Riillty" ami coworing closo benlilc tho wlfo ho hnd deserted for twenty-year-old Marsha Warrington, Mntiry I. Dlggs. at the close of his trial on a white slavery chargo, was forced to llslon to what Is declared today to li&vo been tho most scath ing denunciation ever heard In a fed eral courtroom here. Special Prosecutors Matt I. Sulli van and Theodoro Kocho, for tho government, wcro making tho clos ing argument to tho Jury, which be fore night, will bo charged by United Slates Judge Van Fleet Dlggs was lashed not only as tho dcspoilcr of tho girl with whom he eloped to Reno, but as a coward who was willing to relinquish bis young and pretty victim to further degra dation when bo bad dono with bis Illicit pleasures and tho reckoning with tho law was at band. That It was only because- of bis speedy apprehension by tho pollco In tho bungalow at Reno and not br virtue of. any intent of Dlggs that Miss Warrington was saved from re lying on tho resources of a penniless and friendless girl hundreds of miles from borne, was submitted to the Jury In no uncertain terms by Roche. .'Ho was seeing to it that Miss Warrington did not go back homo; ho was Intent on kcplng her out of tho state," said the prosecutor, re ferring to Dlggs' anxiety that Miss Warrington and Lola Norrls should not return to Sacramento under any circumstances. , "Mis Warrington, ns far as the testimony shows, didn't have a flvo cent piece In her possession at that tlmo," continued Roche. "While the two men could go back to their wives, they knew full well that neither of tho girls they had taken away with them could ever regain tho social position they had lofL What did Dlggs havo In mind that tho two girl victims could be expected to do after ho returned to his homo? If, as ho testified, Dlggs planned to re main away but a short time until tho Bcnndal blew over and Camlnottl bis companion In crime, was planning to go back to his bills in Amador county, ho realized that thcro was practically but ono courso left tho girls. "And If tlioy followed that, ho would not havo to bother about Miss Warrington any longer, nor would ho havo to worry nboul her condition and his responsibility for it. "Unquestionably Maury Dlggs Is guilty of every chargo laid agalnBt him in tho six counts of tbo indict ment." "Murhlia Warrington iliil not de sire nny money or presents from DigK". Kliu did not even Jink fur any jewelry oilier than n vnnity box. Blio only wanted one thine at hi liamld tho marring he liml prom ibcd. "She was preparing for mother hood before hlio went lo Ilcno, mid Digx was responsible for iter condi tion. ltoelio centinued: "Digg.s comes into court nnd testifies Unit every drop of liquor drank by tho prls wiih supplied by him; every automo bile ride fiirnihliPil by him nnd ev ery madhouse visit made ut his in blignlion." During this sweeping arraignment Mm. Dijrgs gave no sign of feeling oilier than a frown. "Eiitranco to houses of prostitu tion is not reached in uo bound,'' (.aid Itocbc. "The chasm between u good homo nnd a brother is too wide to bo so easily bridged. It takes suvornl step?. It is by such nets as these (lint decent nnd innocent girls ore forever ruined und doomed. ".For tho first limo a native Culi fovuinu bus based a defense on bin own depravity, tho story of which bo wrings from (ho unwilling lips of bis victim." this man on tho specific chargo of white slavery. Ho may bo a moral monster. He may hnve committed many crimes but It ho Is not guilty of conclusion piuoo tho outset of. this trial but Hint tho defendant coerced I ho gill nwny from Sacramento." Mrs. Lena Diggs, wife of tho de fendant, holding her daughter Kve lyn on iter lnp. ngniu sat beside her hicdmnd today. Mrs. Caniinotti was not present, "You cannot believe," continued Uoche, "that the counsel of Diggs nud Cmiiiiicttt with the u'trls wns for any oilier reason that to prrsundc them to leave SnornnYtiilo." ''The only argument lie could ad vance lo gel tho girl to nccoinpanv him wns thnt he would divorce bin wife nud marry her. That wns her slur of hope, for which she left her iwrenls nud gave up her future, ns far ns her friends wcro concerned. "This testimony, uncontradicted, lias n ticket to Detroit.

"They had no respect for their par ents," ho said. "Young girls now get drinks, they take automobile rides; they go to beaches and re sortsand tho rest was as a matter of course. You cannot slnglo. out ono man for tho sins of society. "Miss Wnrrlngton was thrown at, Dlggs under a fictitious name by Monto Austin, a saloonkeeper. This Is her own story. She knew Dlggs' was married. She knew bis wlfo nnd child. What, does all that mean Is that tho way of a virtuous girl? "The defendant may have of fended moral laws.

"Thcso women In their dcslro to marry theso men cither Intended driving their wives and children out Into the world without compunction or else they wanted to fall ns low as women can.

"Or dinarily it is baed on the innocence of the defendant, but in this ease it is based on Di'!gV depravity. He hides behind the skirts of bis wite nnd rhild. There ha been no other promise. ''When he got to Itcno be intended to nbaiidon these girls to their fate after they had boon placed in such a compromising situation that they could not rot urn home. And by that same promise he tried to suborn Marsha Warrington's testimony and bring her into this trial to save him. "Diggs' character is shown by the fact ti'at he brought Miss Warring ton into his own home for immoral purposes, into the sanctuary of hN own wife, while the latter was absent.
