MISS NORRIS STILL
loves CAMINETII
She Admitted This On Stand
in White Slave Case at
Frisco Friday
ADMITS DECEPTION
Intimate Girl Friend Says Attorney
Tried to Influence Her
Testimony.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-1nferring
that her love for s. Drew Caminetti
was still undmmed Lola Norris, tes-
tifying in the white slave trial Of
Maury |. Diggs. showed her first signs
of a breakdown today when she re-
piled in the affirmative to a question
bearing on her feeling toward the
man with whom she fled to Reno.
Were you still in love with Can't
netti when you left Reno to come back
to Sacramento?' Robert Devlin, at
torney for the defense, asked on cross
examination.
There was dramatic pause. Ev-
eryone leaned forward to catch the
answer The composure which char
acterized Miss Norris on the stand
throughout her ordeal of yesterday.
when she was relating the most trying
and intimate details of her experiences
on the Reno elopement. now COM
pletely vanished. The head, which had
been held high throughout her grill
ing on the stand, dropped on her
breast, but not before all had noticed
the quick tears spring into the girls
eyes.
She sat nervously clasping and UNI
clasping her hands for some moments
before she answered, in scarcely
audible whisper, which struggled
through her sobs. In a voice far diff
ferent from her former clear and con-
fdent tones, came the monosyllable:
"Yes."
A buzz through the court room.
Spectators craned their necks to see
her grief.
Attorney Devlin fumbled with his
papers. Devlin opened his attack by
attempting to prove that Miss Norris
was deceiving her parents while she
was going on automobile rides and to
road houses with Diggs and Can't
netti. The witness frankly admitted
this.
Miss Norris said she had admitted
Caminetti to her mother and father as
"Mr. Whitman" and Diggs as "Mr.
Fisher" The cross examination was
concluded at 10:40. Then Miss Nor
ris was taken on redirect examine
ton.
Following Miss Norris on the stand,
Martin Beasly, uncle Of Marsha War
rington, testified as to the incidents
following the arrest.
Miss Nell Barton was then called
to the stand. Miss Barton, the
daughter of an Oakland banker, - an
intimate friend of both Miss Warning
ton and Miss Norris. She had met
Diggs few times at her fathers
place of business. Miss Barton tes-
titled that Diggs and Attorney Charles
Harris had endeavored to have her
call on Miss Warrington and induce
her to testify that there had been
| nothing wrong In the relations OF
Diggs and Caminetti and the two
girls.
Attorney Robert Devlin, for the de-
tense, late today outlined the de-
fense's program. Devlin fully outlin-
ed what he proposes to reply in clear
ing his client-and it is a technicality
and Interpretation Of meaning. He
does not propose to attack the tales OF
Marsha Warrington and Lola Norris
in any essential particular so far %
their revelations are concerned.
In short the defense is to be that
there was not the persuasion and IN
tent" necessary to bring under the
Mann white slave act, an offense that
would not have been punishable under
it il committed in Truckee instead OF
Reno.
Attorney Devlin also declares thar
he will show that the statement made
by Diggs to the two girls about the
imminence of arrest ana exposuro
were not false or feigned. but were
founded on facts or his honest fear q !
facts.
