CASE AGAINST DICGS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-Miss
Norris continued being cross-examined
this morning at the Diggs trial. She
reiterated the direct testimony when
Caminetti wanted her to accompany
him to Reno and she refused, saying
at will kill mother" Diggs said she
must go as her reputation would be
ruined anyway, adding your mother
will get over it. Only bullets kill
people"
Miss Norris swore she was pure un-
til the last night in Reno when she
yielded to Caminetti. She denied Miss
Warrington tried to force her to go

but denied that Miss Warrington said
after the quartet returned from Reno,
"Tf l can't have Maury, no one else
can. I'm going to send him to the
penitentiary."
Judge Van Fleet refused to permit
the defense to question the girl re-
garding her deception to her parents,
saying it was immaterial.
The cross-examination ended at II
this morning with Martin Beasley,
Miss Warrington's uncle, who was
with the police when the quartet ar
rived in Reno.
The government rested its case a,
noon. The defense will open their tes-
timony this afternoon.
