Coming in such sharp contrast with
the consideration under which she was
shielded as mucjfas possible by Special
Prosecutor .Theodore Boche, who dwelt
only flootingly on tho actual acts al
leged as the basis for the indictment of
Diggs, the Warrington girl was visibly
shocked and numbedi. Her answers
came gaspinglya simple "vest' or
"no," which often had to be repeated
at the request of Judge Van Fleet, to

finally to wild joy rides about Sacra

othor California cities, where nll-iiMit
stops at hotels were made by Diggs and
aminotti, Miss Warrington and Miss
Lola Norris.
It was brouirht out bv At tnrnov
Coghlan that Miss Warrington and tho
other three had not only frequontod the
road houses adjacent to Sacramento.
but that San Francisco, Ran Joso,
Stockton had been the scones of recur
rent escapades. The offices of Dices
had been made a frequent rendezvous
for admitted" intimacies, aecordiniz to
tho girl 's testimony,
"Did the rolations botween von and

of one of the defendants, had appeared
at the chambers of Juvenile Judge
Hughos to discuss tho Intimacy of Cam

and Norris girls. No official complaint,
however, was made.
Bocause of Immunity Promise,
Attorney flovlin, for tho defense, at
this point admitted that he would at
tempt on cross-examination to show-
that Miss Warrington might be a will
ing witnoss against Diggs becanse she
"had boon promisod immunity possibly
from criminal prosecution herself."
Ho denied that he would attempt to Im
peach her testimony.
Marsha Warrington resumed the
stand at 10:37. Her testimony began
with the arrival of tho elopers at Reno.
We at once went to the parlor of
the Riverside hotel," she said, "and
ordered some lemonade."
Her voice was considerably stronuer

than yesterday, and she noedod

Diggj Listens Nervously."
Diggs did not onco remove his nna
from Miss Warrington while she was
relating tho details of tin eseanmlo
that culminated In his arrest. He bit
his nails nervously.
"Diggs occupied the bed with m at
the Rlvorsldo hotel, and Camlnottl with
Miss Norris," Miss Warrington admit
ted. " We had writton letters but did
not mail them because Dicirs told us
not to.
'We girls wanted to go back to Sac

"Diggs and Caminetti told us not to

"Tho north ono with Diirirs. and the

"Did you discard your clothes, and

"Yes. Carulnotti ami Miss Norrla

Diggs Warned Her.
"Diggs said It was up to us whether
or not they went to the pen," staled
Miss Warrington, In explaintna? that
her pnrniiiour had warned her to kon

said 'don't tell the officers anything,
