CAN'T BE BELIEVED
WITNESS IN CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY CHARGE.
DISMISSALS IN McPHERSON AND ORMISTON CASE.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10
A message from Los Angeles states that tho charges of criminal conspiracy against Aimee Semple McPherson, her mother Mrs. Kennedy, and Kenneth Ormiston and others arising out of the evangelist’s disappearance wore dismissed by the Superior Court to-day on the motion of District Attorney Keyes, who stated: “The evidence laid before rue tends to shew that after Mrs. McPherson had gone to Carmel and returned with the unreasonable story of the kidnapping she and ocners induced Mrs. Wiseman Seilaff to produce false testimony or evidence'in the nature of an alibi for the Carmel episode. The chief evidence laid before me was the testimony of Mrs. Seilaff. Without her testimony proof of the alleged conspiracy is now impossible. Since the preliminary hearing Mrs. Seilaff has changed her story almost daily, until now it contains so many contradictions and inconsistencies that she has become a witness for whose truth or credibility no prosecutor could vouch.”—A. and N.Z.C.A.
