thought hung over their heads"
PLEA. MADE. FOR DEFENSE
% Woodworth made Diggs the brave
and bad leader of the expedition with
out any duibblipg. Caminetti was the
agreeable little chap who played cards
cards to fill out table, and any
thing he did in connection with the
S arrangements ahd occurrences of the
"trip was purely accidental and in
cidental. and. not willful." so the jury
heard from Woodworth woodworth
said the intention of the party was
ITO find some place where they could
stay in quiet until the storm blew
3 over" and not 10 get out of the state.
we contend the acts do not consti-
tute a violation of the Mann white
slave traffic act, but are merely the
doings of a pair of frightened boys
ana girls
When the girl principals departed
from the witness stand, the morbid
2 crowds departed from the corridors.
8 The lack OF interest which marked
the Caminetti case when the jury was
being impaneled was evident again
today. There was no one lettering in
g the corridors but deputy marshals
There were q few vacant seats Half
OF the audience wore plumes.
The following statements were
participated in by Lola Norris and
Caminetti on the train between
Truckee and Sacramento on the re-
turn trip from Reno, as shown by
Doane's stenographic notes:

DISLIKED 70 ABANDON BABY
The further statement was ELECTED
from Miss Norris that Caminetti- had
told her before leaving Sacramento
that his only regret in breaking up
his home was that he would have to
leave his older. baby Naomi, whom he
loved dearly. He talked with Miss
Norris about trying to get the baby
away fFem Mrs. Canlinetti to live with
himself and Miss Norris after they
had been married
He said cruelty was one of the
grounds for divorce he would bring
against his wife. When he left Sac
ranento he had no intention OF going
back at that time. Miss Norris was
3 asked the question whether she left
sacramento Of her own free will She
replied In the negative.
MRS. GARRISON STAR WITNESS
The defense has Mrs. Joe Garrison
of Sacramento as star witness.
Miss Norris admitted that she made
statement in the presence of Mrs.
Garrison, soon after the return from
Reno. in words to this effect: I do not
see how any testimony 1 could give
could hurt Drew. He never did any
thing asked him not TO do and that
did not want him to do"
NO ANIMUs is SHOWN
Throughout her long stay in the
witness chair. Lola Norris gave NOT
the slightest hint of anirnus against
Caninetti. She did not forget where
the remembrance of a statement was
shaded in favor OF Caminetti. nor did
she spare him when her recollection
brought out assertions of his that
she had not related at the previous
trial.
Deviin, in his cross examination
played the girls deception of her
parents as big card, getting much
pleasure out of repeated admissions
that she had lied to her father and
mother because she knew 1t was
wrong for her to go out with a mar
ried man, even though she thought
he was not living with his wife.
GIRLS ANSWERS AMPLIFIED
At times the questions that were
only half answered by Miss Norris
when she testified In the trial of
Diggs were recurred to by the de-
Tense and elected some additional
words that proved a boomerang
against the cross examination.
did Mr.. Caminetti ever suggest
that you girls go one place and they,
Diggs and Caminetti, would go an
other?'' asked .Devlin.
s'Yes, Mr. Caminetti made that sug-
gestion." was the answer THE idea
was for us to-. go TO city and live
for about a month. then he and Mr..
Diggs would come and get us and the
four of us would go away to live to-
/. gethers'
Miss Norris still had an affection for
Camiffetri when she returned to Sac
ramento after the Reno affair. she
said yesterday.
STILL TRUSTED CAMINET-TI
80 still trusted Mr. Caminetti," she
said. wien l found out he had de-
ceived me like he had I couldn't be-
.lieve it.
!. 4 straight question elected the in
forfnatien that she does not think as
much of Caminetti now.
She halted long before her answer.
and those who have heard the ru-
mors, of the love between Caminetti
: and Miss Norris was so strong as to
be unbroken by disgrace and prose-
cution watched the drama.
