It shall not be necessary to show actual delivery of property to the innkeeper before such property shall be deemed to have been entrusted to the innkeeper. Depositing goods in a public room set apart for such articles or leaving them in the room of the guest shall be a delivery to the innkeeper. However, if the guest shall deliver his goods to a servant under special charge to him to keep the same, the innkeeper shall not be liable therefor.
