MPHERSON RESTS AT BEACH Goes to Seaside During Lull in Trial After Hearing Self Called “Fake.” By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 6.—Ajmee Semple McPherson today sought solace in the rolling breakers on Santa Monlca Bay Beach, near the place where she declares she was kidnaped last May, as adjournment of her preliminary hearing on con- spiracy charges until tomorrow of- fered respite from the sharp court repartee in which she vesterday heard herself characterized as a “fake” and a “hypocrite.” “Oh, for a nice restful swim,” ex- claimed the evangelist when. she learned Municipal Judge Blake had | ordered a day’s recess in the hear- ing at which District Attorney Asa Keyes Is attempting to prove Mrs. McPherson and her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, conspired to ob- struct justice by manufacturing evi- dence to support the kidnaping story. The Angelus Temple pastor and her mother left almost immedi- ately after the adjournment for the home of friends at Venice, a Santa Monica Bay resort. Witnesses Attack Story. The evangelist said she would de- vote the day to rest on the beach which hundreds of her followers pa- trolled for days after her disappear- ance on the theory that she had drowned. Mrs, McPherson's story of having been kidnaped and held for ransom was attacked by two State's witnesses during yesterday’s hearing. The first was Deputy District Attorney Joe Ryan, who was recalled for cross-ex- amination by defense counsel. When asked to explain his “‘mental reaction” to the evangelist's story of abduction, Ryan expressed the bellef that the Angelus Temple pastor was a “fake” and a “hypocrite.” He sald his investigation at Doug- las, Ariz., from where he made four trips into Mexico and trailed the evan- gelist’s footprints on the Sonora Desert, led him to the conclusion that Mrs. McPherson had not traveled over 20 miles of waste land, as she alleged in her original statement. Ryan declared he did not believe the pastor was ever in a shack or that such a shack as she described ever existed in Arizona or in Mexico. He said he did not believe she was taken to any such place by the persons whom the evangelist described as ““Steve” and ““Rose,” nor did he be lieve she was ever incarcerated. Holds 20-Mile Walk Impossible. Ryan was followed in the witness box by Police Sergt. Loren Murchi- son of Douglas. The Arizona officer testified that due to physical barriers, the evangelist's desert trek could not possibly have extended beyond a tri- angular area described by the Mexi- can border, a road and a high board fence. Within these limits Mrs. Mc- Pherson could not have traveled more than five miles from the international boundary and seven miles from Agua Prieta, where she first appealed for help, he testified. Mrs. McPherson. according to her own version, in her flight from her captors had not crossed any road nor had she gone through any fence. She said she walked 20 miles. District Attorney Keyes indicated he would call more witnesses tomor- row to testify on the Arizona phase of the iInvestigation. Meanwhile a na- tlon-wide search continues for Ken- neth G. Ormiston, former Angelus Temple radlo operator, whom the State charges aided the evangelist in her disappearance. Draft of Affidavit Found. The Times today says two Important revelations in the McPherson case have been brought to light. The first is the discovery of a penciled draft of the famous “Miss X" affidavit by Mrs, Lorraine Wiseman Sielaff, confessed | perpetrator of the Carmel hoax, de- clared by the district attorney’s office to be in the evangelist’s handwriting. The second is the disclosure of an at- tempt on behalf of Mrs. McPherson to regain possession of clothing worn by her when she reappeared in Arizona. The penciled notes were taken from Mrs. Sielaff's safety deposit box fol- lowing her confession that she had been employed to produce false wit- nesses to substantiate the evangelist's kidnaping story. According to a state- ment to the district attorney's office by Mrs. Sielaff, the notes were dic- tated by Mrs. Kennedy and written by Mrs. McPherson while the two wom- en were in conference with Mrs. Sie- laff in Mrs. McPherson's home, ad- joining Angelus Temple. From this draft Mrs. Sielaff later prepared her afdavit in which she swore that she was the companion of Ormiston dur- ing a 10-day stay at Carmel-by-the- Sea.

In Central High School 60 pupils, who have been pre- paring for the 1927 contest through- out the Summer vacation just end- ed, have been given special seats together, in recognition of their en- thustastic preparation for the contest more than six months in advance of the formal opening date of the compe- tition for next ye Teachers and pupils in the high schools in the District of Columbia are requested not to send to contest headquarters for tickets, as all of the tickets that can be allotted to the local ‘hools have been turned over to the principals of those schools for distri- bution among faculty members and pupils.
