With few exceptions, the counter

bourn. the Pullman conductor, when
drawn out as to why he should re-
member the persons in the Diggs-
Caminetti party.
To Walbourn's best recollection,
piggs paid him Sc for the drawing
room. There were several vacant
berths in the car. He didn't see the
couples after they entered the draw
ing room.
DIGGS PAID FOR ROOM
The conductor said Diggs went back
to the drawing room before paying
him for 1T. The defense promises TO
show he got the money to pay for the
room from the girls.
Both girls were in the drawing room
and the men were in the smoking room,
probably, when he asked to make up
the berths. the porter, DERRICK, testi-
fed. He made up the couch, about two
feet wide, which is on the opposite SIDE
of the car from the two berths.
"The covers in both the upper berth
and lower berth and on the couch were
rumpled and all appeared to have been

said.
The porter knocked on the door OF
the drawing room after the third call
for breakfast, which was between Sac
and o'clock in the morning OF the day
they left Sacramento, March 10. The
men appeared 20 minutes after the
knock. The porter said he set the room
in order when the train was between
Truckee and Reno.

Devlin asked.
"Oh, yes, sab, I got nah tip. all right.

They did not take any meals at the
hotel.
WE'RE GOING TO DENVER
when they were checking out, Diggs
said they wanted to catch No. 10 and
that they had tickets to Denver.
II told them to wait q few minutes
and would call the bus for them.
Never mind the bus Diggs said;
I'VE don't mind walking"
Devlin attempted to learn il Diggs'
statement had not meant they wanted
to catch the Denver train.
The clerk was positive that he said
the party had tickets for Denver.
The defense questioned to show there

rooms and an extra couch in one of
the rooms that might have been used
for a bed.
Two rooms were bargained for and
paid for, the clerk reiterated. when
Judge Van Fleet asked the question.
