Chambers and Wilson, turned out to
be man and a woman. claiming to
be husband and wife. Their story was
that they We're in Chicago and wished
to get to California. but had not mon
ey for railroad fare. hence the woman
donned mans clothing, the better to
beat her way across the continent.
They expected to get work as fruit
pickers at Fresno. but were disap-
pointed by reason of too much Chinese
labor, hence they started back.
The woman is not bad looking; is
about 20 years of age, with closely
cropped brown hair and wore a SLOUGH
hat. with oyeralls, jumper and a heavy
coat.
They gave their names as James and
Maude l. Smith.
The woman said they had been ar
rested four times as Migrants, but re-
leased each time. when the officers
discovered her sex. They intend also
to write up their tramping experiences
for a Chicago paper.
Judge Howell deferred the trial of
the two until evening in order to in
vestigate their conduct since their ar
rival in Ogden. It was found that they
had been begging and they were each
sentenced TO five days in the city jail,
the man TO work on the rock pile.
