DEFENSE OF ELOPER IS
SMASHED BY CHARGE OF
U. S. JUDGE VAN FLEET
Courtroom Is Crowded by Sympathetic Listeners,
But Hope for Defendant Sinks.to Low Ebb as
Judge Reads Charge Which Exhorts Talesmen
To Do Their Duty-Declares Evidence Sufficient
THE CAMINETTI CASE WENT TO THE JURY AT 12:07.
The defense of the attorneys for F. Drew Caminetti was smashed
into little bits by Judge Hilliam C. Van Fleet in his charge to the jury,
which was completed before the noon adjournment.
In the closing arguments, the defense admitted its entire case is in
the assumption that the "purpose" of the trip to Reno had not been
proved by the government as stated in the indictment. On the contrary,
the defense claimed to prove the trip
actuated by fear, for the purpose of
getting away from Sacramento to
avoid disgrace and publicity.
"If you find these girls were taken
to Reno, and that while there the
defendant and his companion, Diggs,
immorally lived with them, you may
find they were taken there with such
purpose and intent," Judge Van
Fleet told the jury.
MAY DISCARD HIS WORDS
"If the declarations of the defend
ant as to his intent or purpose do
not accord with his acts, you may
discard his words if they do not

carry conviction to your binds, and
base your finding as to his intention
upon the acts committed by him.
"And even if you find that Cami
netti and his companion, Diggs. were
actuated in their departure from Sac
ramento by a fear of exposure or
arrest, but that, nevertheless, in tak
ing these two girls along there ex
isted the intention to subject them
to the immoral purpose charged, the
defendant is guilty. If that immoral
purpose was one factor inducing him
to leave Sacramento and take these
girls with him, it matters not that
he may also have been actuated by
his fears or other consideration mov
ing- him to take that trip. He would.
, nevertheless, be guilty."
Other quotations frorri Judge Van
Fleet's charge follow:
EVIDENCE SUFFICIENT
"There 18 sufficient evidence here to
convict, if you find it true. It does
Hot have to be shown that the de
fendant bought the railroad tickets
or arranged to pay for them to find
him guilty of transporting the young
women to Reno, Nev., from Sacra
mento.
"Miss Warrington and Miss Norrla
went of their own volition, but that
does not prevent them from having
been persuaded, induced or enticed
to go.
"What purpose these girls had in
mind in going to Reno is not an
issue of this case. We are concerned
with the purpose for which they were
taken to Reno.
"The Mann act is a good law. lam
in favor of its enforcement.
"The Mann act is as much for the
protection of virtuous women as it
is to break up the vile traffic in
women for the purpose of prosti
tution."
DEVON CLOSES ARGUMENT
Robert T. Devlin, in his best placid,
persuasive vein, closed for the de
fense in an address of 20 minut*s
when court reconvened.
As in his early expressions, he
dwelt upon purpose as the whore
case, arguing the purpose of the trip
to Reno had not been proved by
the government. Devlin's quiet sar
casm was as sharp and as high pow
ered as on the previous day. He was
not so lenient as the defendant Cami
netti with the character of LolA
Norris. He said the tall and divinely
fair Miss Norris was one of the
strangest characters he had ever met.
