Ogether All the Way to Destinstio•'.'

\ San ':lrapcisco, Aug. 12.--A, court-'raem clowded from the railings tothe doors /sat in hushed expetacytoday while .Marsha Warringtoei pickedher way slowly to the .witness stand.It was the climax of the •ase vwiicfthe government ,is presepting againstMaury i. Diggs, f6rmer state arc'hit etof California, who is accused Uider theMann, act of transporting the girl fpotimmoral purposes to Rieti, 'Nev., fromSacramento, Cal., wheie he left a wifeand "babies.

Court adjourned. with the story atthe point, where the part of four, Oln-

Marsha 'ii nr d 8 Lola.; oftisteppe .'oft the:# 't t RehO. Th' ihiswore that' pig~gs" bought thi railwaytickets and _pafd for the sleeping cardrawing ro0mi they occupied:. Sheswore she saw 'the tickets delivered'to the conquctr.,

Counsel for the defense' Objected tothe introduction of the tickets as evi-'dence on the groundc that the witnesscould not identify them as the ticketsthat had been given.

"The objection is overruled," Laid, the,court. "The witness has,testified. thatthe defendant b•ugiht the tickets ahdlater gave them to the conductor, ofthe train. , That's' as near as you cantrace them, No closer identificatiodcould be made. unless' some one hadbeen present at the purchase' of the 11tickets' for the ptirposeof' keepling atheir numbers. Let this, matter go to fthe jury."

Questions and answers. preliminary eto and following this point .dealt with t'the introduction upon the scene of hLola' is'a hid d Caminetti-the latter d

.to be tried later on a similar charge--=tboth of .whom were arrestedwith them Lin a bungalow at Reno. The witness eswore that she had .left Sacramento dunder threats of exposure and only on 6promise of marriage. She and Diggs vhad occupied the lower berth and their 1icompanigns the upper berth. I

The only indication thus far of the atactics to be takea by the defense ahave been the attempts to introduce ttestimony which Judge Van Fleet has srepeatedly ruled out. All evidence, he Iholds, tending to show that the girls cwent to lteno willingly and werOe nder ino duress while there is immaterial tand irrelevant. Whether their be- thavior showed them carefree and rhappy or dejected is a. matter as towhich the court i's indifferent. c

A Pretty EMonde.

Marsha Warrington is a strikinglypretty l~londe of 20. Her blue eyes areset well apart, her brows are widelyarched, her nose is small and straight,her countenance is oval.

She wore the same smartly tailoredsuit of shepherd's plaid she had onwhen arrested, black pumps and whitegloves. A white veil hid her corp-plexion and masked the appeal of herlowered gaze. Occasionally she raisedlarge eyes to gaze for a moment atthe judge from under the -brim of abasket hat, covered with pink silk overa straw and trimmed with black tulle.

As she walked slowly up the aisle ofthe courtroom, which was hushed, itwas necessary for her-almost to brushDiggs' shoulder. I He did not raise hishead, and Ahe did not flinch.

While she sat at the counsel table,waiting to be called to the stand, shehid" her face in her gloved hands andher opening testimony was almost in-audible.

"Speak up, Miss Warrington," ad-monished Judge Van Fleet, "if youwere crying for help you could makeyourself heard-better."

Obediently she raised her voice.There were moments when she smiledand suppressed, laughter.

In the three-quarters of an hour she'was on the stand Diggs never took his

eyes from her face. Not once did sheallow .her gaze to meet his and shewas spon quite mistress of herself andthe situation.

Leaving the stand, the girl walkedcoolly into the care" of the United

SStates marshals and was soon sur-rounded 'by hier relatives. Her sister,Mrs. 8. H. Haley of San Francisco, andher cousin; lMrs. C,( W. Ayers of Taft,Cal., kissed 'her...

expressed by democratile leaders of the,senate tonight when they learned thatGovernor O'Neal had disregarded theiradvice and had appointed Rplresenta-tive Henry D. c(layton to succeed thelate Senator Johnston without expressauthority from tloe Alabama legisla-ture.

"It is my opinion that Mr. Claytonwill not ie seated," said Senator Over-man, acting chairman of the, judiciarycommittee.

The members of the judiciary com-milteeD and a majority (of the lawyersof the senate were of the opinion thatthe seventee.nth amendment to the con-stitution does not give the governorauthority to appoint a senator exceptundeir express directions from thelegislature.

It was predlcted tonight that whenMr. Clayton presented his credentialsas a senator, objections would beraised Irnmediately and the credentialswould go to the commnittee or privi-leges and elections for report.

Albany, N. Y., Aug. 13,-WilliamtSulzer, governor of New York, Wasimpeached early today. No othergovernor of the state has ever beenimpeached. The state assembly,which is the impeaching body, to6kthe action after an all-nlght Set-sion. The vote was o6mploet•d at2:05 this (Wednesday) morning andthe ballot stood 79 to 45.

Albany, N. Y., Aug. 13.-(Wednes-day.)--A declaration attributed toMrs. William Sulser, wife of the gov-ernor of New York, that the had usedsome of hell husband's campaign cod.tributions without his knowledge toinvest. in stocks because she felt thehousehold needed money and that shealone was wholly responsible for hisimpeachment, was made the subjectearly this morning of a motion In thelower house of the New York legisla-ture debating a resolution to impeach(overnor Sulzer. It was the first testof the strength of the democratic or-ganization which is urging the gov-ernor's impeachment and indicatedthat the organization lacked threevotes of the 76 required to impeach.

Two of tIh'e men who voted againstthe organization, however, said theywere ready to vote for impeachment,

The' motion made by RepublicanLeader Hinman recited that Mrs. Sul-ser's declaration should be properlyclassed under the head of newly-dis-covered evidence and warranted post-ponement of further conslderittlon ofthe impeachment resolution.

The motion was defeated by a voteof 73 to 49.

Notwithstanding the showing of thetest vote, Majority Leader Levy as-sorted that the organization hadenough votes to impeach the governorand that he felt that it would do sobefore adjournment.

The assembly had been in sessionfor four hours when the motion wasmade. Indications were that It t woldnot report a vote on the imnpeachmontresolution till dawn today.

Albany, N. J., Aug. 12.-The lowerhouse of the New York legislature netlate tonight to vote upon MajorityLeader Levy's resolution to impeachGovernor Sulzer' on charges of willfuland corrupt conduct in office and highcrimes and misdemeanors.'rhe democratic organization claimed

more than enough votes to adopt theirresolution. (Governor Sulser's friendsmade no claims. The first roll call in-dicated the correctness of the organiza-tion's prediction. Eighty-five demo-crats-five more than the necessarymajority-answered to their names.Another democrat reached the cham-ber after roll call. Less than half adozen of these were expected to voteagainst the measure,

Republican and progressive leaders,the governor's erstwhile political foesand now his sole champions, save fora corporal's guard of Independentdemocrats, planned a savage fight onthe resolution.

Indications at midnight were thatthe session would last all night.

On the eve of the governor's prob-able impeachment the story was spreadbroadcast throughout the capital thatMrs. Sulzer had assumed all blame forthe revelations brought out by theFrawley investigating committee con-cerning the governor's transactions itnWall street.

Wholly to Blame.Mrs. Sulzer's statement was made,

according to this story, to SenatorPalmer, She is quoted as having toldhim this afternoon, "I am wholly toblame for this affali,"

Although the story was the topicof the city tonight, no one could befound who would We quoted as con-firming it, Governor Sulzer referredall inquirers to Senator Palmer, whodeclined either to confirm or deny it,He is reported as having told it to aselect coterie of the governor's sup-porters:

Senator Palmer, a Grand Army vet.eran, called at the executive mansionthis afternoon to consult Governor Sul-ser ooncernipn the dedication of amnnumenl at Andersonvllle, Ga. Mrs.Sulser is said to have confided herstory to the senator during his call.

According to other friends in whomMrs. Sulzer has confided, she has de-olared a'he used some of the gov-erpor's campaign contributions becauseshe felt that the household "was InI need of money."

Preparilng a Statement.It Is reported that Mrs. Sulser is

prpparing a detailed statement frtpublication tomorrow. In this state-ment she is said to have itemized altha
