Examination Taken by
Attorney on Return
From Reno, Which De
fense Sought to Have
Introduced in Diggs
Case.
San Francisco Sept In closing
its case under the Mann white slave
traffic act against f Drew Caminet
ti. the government played a trump
card today. Testimony given bj Cam
inetti to Assistant District Attorney
Atkinson of Sacramento county on
tho way back from Reno after the ai
res! B, was read ae taken down b w
E Poan, a court reporter This was
an excerpt from the transcript in the
possession of tho government which
the defense vainly sought to have in
troduced In the DIggB trial.
Doan read the questions and ans
wers from his notes.
"Did you tell Lola Norris that
you d marrx her''" Mr. Atkinson had
asked.
I believe I did, " Caminettl had ans
wered "1 don't want to make any
statement I'd be contradicted in later,
but I believe 1 did "
"Did y.u make the promise In good
faith1?"
Yes, I did '
"Did you Intend to leave your wife
and children and marry her"?
"Yes. I did."
Doan testified that a clipping from
a Sacramento newspaper. p which
was printed n interview with cani
inetti telegraphed from Reno, was
shown to him on the train. In the
interview he was quoted us havm
said thM he Intended to marry Mis
Morris.
Did you say that, ..r substanl mlh
that?" District Attorney Atkinson
had asked.
"I believe 1 did," CamlneUi had an-
Colonel Zapata (arrow) and some of his followers; Foreign Minister
Gamboa.
In southern Mexico the rebels, under the leadership of Colonel
Zapata, are in control of the situation. The accompanying picture
shows Zapata and some of his trusted followers at Cuernavaca.
The other photograph shows Frederic Gamboa, one of Huerta's
right-hand men and minister of foreign affairs for Mexico. He is loom
ing up as the biggest figure in Huerta's cabinet.
swered, "although I didnt't intend to
be quoted."
Cross-examination only made
Doan s testimon fuller and more pos
itive. Mr Atkinson had turned to Lola
Norris, Doan testltied "Do ou
think, ' repeated Doan, reading the
question from his notes, that he,
(Caminettl i would marry you now ?
I know he would," was the confi
dent answer
Atkinson had turned t Camlnetti.
"Would you'"' he asked.
"Yes."
Caminetti had been allowed to ask
his own questions of Lola Norris.
Doan said and these w-(th the answers
were taken down.
"Did you ever hear me mention
Cruelty or getting a divnrre on
crounds of cruelty?'' Caminettl asked.
Yes, said the plrjand thrm turn
incr to Atkinson added:
' Mr Caminettl told me h'd be
much happier if conditions wore dif
ferent at his home, and he said that
phvslcal cruelty would be the grounds
for his dl I'orce '
"What did Mr Caminettl say about,
his family relationship about his
elder daughter?'.' Atkinson asked
He said that was the onlv regret
he had at leaving his family, that
he loved her and grieved at leannp
her. He said if he got a divorce he
might bring the child with him later."
With this reply the cross-examination
closed and, the soernment an
nouncing that it had no other wit
I nesses to call, the defense made ready
to prevent its case
Lola Norris Repeats Story
Lola Norris repeated more fulL
than in tho Diggs trial the story of
her relations with Caminettl at yes
terday afternoon's session of court
Necessarih the government bore
more personally and more particular
ly on the part she and raminetti
played in the determinations and
' act-- of lho four of them, and the

ilv on her share In the responsibilit v
for her own downfall The wife and

her closely while I amineftl coached
