court for the purpose of having him
and the girls arrested.
A question as to Caminetti's state
OF mind during the week previous to

IN DIGGs' FLAT
Prosecutor Sullivan elicited some
facts concerning the doings of the four
in Diggs' fiat one night when Mrs.
Diggs was visiting in Woodland.
On redirect examination Devlin put
another query concerning the incident
and Diggs said:
Il did not want to tell about my
relations with Marsha Warrington, but
since they insisted I'll tell all the facts.
Miss Norris, Caminetti and myself had
been sitting on a couch in the sitting
room. I got up and went over to a
chair and Miss Norris and Caminetti
laid down on the couch together. Miss
Warrington then said, This is no place
for u.s. and added, there was a place
there where we could lie down. We
went into my bedroom. I don't remem-
Der whether she or I locked the door
She went over and threw herself down
on the bed and then / went over there.
A little later she said, What would
I replied didn't know just what would
happen to her, or both of US. and then
she laughed and said. Mrs. Diggs has
nothing on me; beat her to 1t in her
own bedroom
PREVAILED ON MISS NORRIS
In the morning Diggs testified Miss
Warrington once said IF Miss Norris
doesn't want to go, I'll make her"
Again Diggs said the Warrington girl
reproached Miss Norris with, You have
cold feet You always did have cold

here" This last remark, Diggs said,
was made on the Sunday afternoon
previous to the departure.
Then 1t was Miss Warrington who
induced Miss Norris to leave?" Judge
Van Fleet asked.

would have gone If 1t hadn't been that
Miss Warrington insisted.
The saloon keeper, O'Brien. told Diggs

ever saw" when he was hunting for
Dfggs when the latter was in hiding at
the Columbia hotel. Caminetti told
Diggs, according to his testimony. his
father meant business. His wife said
to Caminetti, You have been a snake

she thought Mr.. Warrington would put
an end to It, Diggs said also he had
been told that Ii Mr.. Warrington ever
found out for a certainty he and Miss
Marsha We're going together he would

FEARED TO CROSS HER
The Warrington girl insisted on leav-
ing Sacramento with him on several
occasions. Diggs said. He declared he
did not ask her to go and was afraid
to cross her because she had a violent
temper and might get him into worse
trouble.

Angeles and make the trip In my auto
mobile. That fell through because some
OF my creditors attached my car when
got into a little difficulty for over
drawing my account at the bank. The
bank never objected before to my over
drawing, and I Strengthened that up
without much trouble

Diggs IL he was not In hiding at the
