ATTORNEYS ISSUE DENIAL

SAN. FRANCISCO, July 26. - Joe
Ryan, Los Angeles deputy district
attorney, who has been in Carmel
by the-sea and Monterey south OF
here since Saturday, working on a
clue that Kenneth G. Ormiston, for
mer radio operator at Angelus Tenn
pie, spent several days with a my
/ sterious woman at cottage in Car
mel Immediately following the dis
appearance from Ocean Park, May
is, of Aimee Semple Mcpherson, an
nounce6. tonight that four persons
had identified pictures of the evangel-
list as likenesses of Ormistons COM
panion.
Following the new development,
Ryan telephoned his chief, District
Attorney Asa Keyes that the Nc
Pherson mystery had been solved.
I'm positive that Ormiston was the
man at the cottage" the investigator
told Keyes. 81 have samples of
handwriting which I believe to be
that of Mrs. Mcpherson.
The four persons mentioned by
Ryan are Ernest Reinert, driver
for wood and coal concern; Ralph
Swanson "a grocery boy; Mrs. Percy
Parkes, who lives near the cottage
and. VIM Michael, workman who
repaired the roof of the house next
door during the time the couple DC
cupiad the cottage.
Reinert made signed statement.
Shown a photograph of Mrs. Nc
Pherson, he declared that she was
the woman who on May "a super
vised the unloading of coal ami
wood at the cottage occupied by
her and the man who gave his name
as George e. Mcintyre
That's the same woman" Michael
shown the evangelist's picture The
man and woman arrived at the beach
cottage the morning May 10, the day
after Mrs. Mcpherson disappeared
while surf bathing at Ocean Park.
A few days previously the man had
rented the house, paying three months
in advance.
They occupied the cottage for
about ten days, but part of the time
the man was not there Though
the man was seen about the town,
the woman was seldom seen to leave
the house. During her entire stay
she was said to have worn goggles
and close-fitting hat.
They left unannounced one night,
leaving note that Mrs. McIntyre's
mother was i'll in the east.

nesses have disappeared charges
against j. D. "Red" sublette, Fred
Bristow and Jonn Hoffman, profess
sional rodeo performers alleging as
sault with intent to commit rape,
were dismissed upon motion of K.

The complaints against the trio

hotel during the annual "Fiesta de
los Vaqueros.
The trio were arrested after po-
lice and the sheriffs force were
called by persons living at the OUT

for help. Bristow and Hoffman with
two of the girls were found at an
isolated spot in the desert and Sub

leased on bond after being held in
Jail for several days. Hoffman later
made bond and left for oklahoma,

was surrendered by his 1bondsmen and
placed in Jail. An appeal to Judge

mans release on his own recog-
nizance Both Bristow and Sublette
