Conviction o8 F. Drew Cam- inetti and Maury I. Diggs of Sacra- ! mento was cohfirmed, The court also affirmed conviction of L. T. Hays of Alva, Okla. The court was divided. The.major- ity opinion was given by. Justice Day. Chief Justice White and Justices Mc- Kenna and Clarke dissented. Justice McReynolds took no part in consider- ation of the cases. ‘The plain terms of the act must ; take procedure over the designation and the report that accompanied it to congress,” said Justice day. “It is said it will open the dgor to black- | mail, but that is to be considered by congress. We think the power of | congress to regulate transportation of, passengers affords ample basis to ex- ercise authority in the case of this statute.” Justice McKenna announced the | ?issent, but did not deliver any opin- on. Justice Day’s Decision. Justice Day’s majority opinion fol- lows: “In none of the cases was fit! charged or proved that the transpor- | tation (of the women involved) was for gain or for the purpose of fur-. nishing women for prostitution for ' hire. “There is no ambiguity in the terms of this act. It is elementary that | the meaning of a statute must in tho | first instance be sought in the lan- guage of the act as framed and if that is plain the sole function of the courts to enforce it according to its terms. “In regard to-a woman transported for debauchery for an immoral pur- pose, for which Diggs and Caminettl were convicted it would seem by the very statement of the facts to em- | brace transportation for purposes de- | nounced by the act. While such im- moral purpose would be more culp- able in morals if accompanied by ex- pectation of gain, such considerations | do not prevent the lesser offense | against morals from the execution of purposes within th> meaning of- the law. To say to the cortrary would | shock the common understanding of immoral pur- pose.” As to thc Women. ‘Whether the women involved be- come technically accomplices, as j ter of her son’s extradition. | to cause concern. | was very weak and it was feared his argued in behalf of the defendants, was not definitely decided by the court. It disposed of that feature as follows: H “It is urged as a further ground of reversal of the judgments below that the trial court did not instruct the | jury that the testimony of the two girls was that of accomplices and to be recelved with great caution and | believed only when corroborated by | othed testimony adduced'in the case. | While this is so, there is no absolute rule of law preventing convictions on the testimony of accomplices if jurors believe them.” "CRUISER HOPELESS WRECK Milwaukee Becoming Deeply Embed- ded in Sands Off Eureka, Cal—All Hands.
