B AR RED FROM
ALMEE'S ROOM
Try A. G. MATHHHNsl

Lying amid great bower of flowers
in her cot at the Calumet and Arizona
hospital here Wednesday night, Aimee
SempIe Mcpherson looked a bit wan
and tired about the eyes, but her mag
netic personality shone forth as bright
as ever.
Bouquets sent from various religi
GUS organizations in the city, and
vases of flowers which were piled
into the hospital room, the gifts of
absolute strangers, but ardent admir-
ers, graced the plain sick room.
Throughout the evening hours few
visitors, including Mayor A. e. Hin
ton and local ministers, entered to
wish her we'll, but for the most part
only newspapermen were admitted
and they appeared in almost con-
stant stream.
To each of them the evangelist told
her story of captivity, told it easily
and simply and stuck to the chain OF
events as she had recited them earlier
in the day. About o'clock, however,
even the newspapermen were barred
from her room and the nurse an
nounced that Aimee Semple McPher-
son was ready for sleep.
Due to the long day of constant in
terviewing, the evangelist last night
appeared more worn and tired than
she did when interviewed early in the
morning. Dark circles had found their
way under her eyes and what littls
color she had Wednesday morning was
gone. In place of the strained look OF
early morning, however, She appeared
last night to be free from worry but
extremely tired. But there was no
Stacking of her mind, for she spoke
easily and fluently of her experiences
and smile flickered across her face
more than once. Her beautiful curls
hung picturesquely about her pale
face, but they lacked the gloss of those
belonging to one who lis rested.
Except for the look of fatigue,
however, Aimee Semple Mcpherson
looked no different last night than
she might have following a week OF
continuous labor at her famous tenn

SHERIFF MCDONALD is
HOLDING CLOTHES AND
SHOES OF EVANGELIST


BISBEE, June !. 23.-Clothing and
shoes worn by Mrs Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson, long missing Los Angeles
evangelist, were not damaged when
she was taken to hospital in Doug
las early this morning following her
appearance in Aqua Prieta, Sonora,
James F. Mcdonald, sheriff of Co
chise county, said in a statement to
the Bisbee Daily Review tonight. He
asserted that he has the Womans ap-
parel in his possession and will hold
it pending further investigation into
the case.
Mcdonald paid high tribute to Mex
ican rurales and officers, who assist
ed his posse in trailing Mrs. Nc
Pherson's alleged abductors over miles
of rugged territory below the Next
can border, which country is covered
with mesquite, cactus and cats claw.
The latter growth derives it's name
from it's resemblane to cats claws
and attaches itself readily to cloth
ing, shoes or other material coming
in contact with it, the sheriff ex-
planned.
The sheriff and his men returned
from their trek over cactus bristllng
region with their boots scratched and
their clothing covered with dust. None
such evidence of the desert wastes
appeared on the clothing or shoes OF
the EVANGELIST, Mcdonald asserted.

HUNDREDS LINE.
STREET HOPING
TO SEE AIM f E
(Ry Anne G. MatheMsl

Hundreds of persons lined both
sides of Tenth street in front Of
the Calumet hospital where Aimee
Semple Mcpherson, famous evangel-
list of the -Four Square gospel and
pastor of the beautiful Angelus
temple in Los Angeles, lay yester-
day recuperating from her horrible
experiences since her abduction from
ocean Park beach on May IS.
Automobiles parked on both sides
of the street added to the traffic
problem, while friends waited and
waited for hours at time, in the
hope that they would be permitted
to spend few minutes with the fa-
nous evangelist. Toward evening a
soft red glow from one of the
windows in the left wing of the
hospital, disclosed to waiting friends
and sympathizers outside, the exact
spot where she was resting quietly
and living over in her accounts 70
newspaper men, the tragic events OF
the past SO days.
But few were allowed to enter the
portals of the hospital or to converse
with Mrs. Mcpherson and these few
were newspaper reporters, physicians,
nurses, police officials who are back
trailing her footsteps across dusty
roads through cacti for distance
Of some 20 miles, and friends who
knew her in Los Angeles.
Mrs. McPherson's room was a bow
er of beautiful flowers sent by
various organizations and institu-
tions, friends and sympathzers The
evangelist herself, beautiful and
famed the world over for her mag
netic personality lay tired, weak,
exhausted. but very, very happy.
Even until a late hour last night
little clusters of people stood group
ed about the entrance to the hospital
grounds, whispering and wondering,
how Douglas was selected by fate
for the Resurrection"

am alive and free" said Aimee Semple
Mcpherson last night.
And then she told of the horror
and distress of a woman, born in the
country, of the north-Canada- but
more recently a city woman, alone
on the deserts of Mexico, cactus,
mesquite, sagebrush and sand about
her.
Wandering, running, falling ex-
hausted, only to writhe in fright,
stumbling to her feet in unimagin-
able horror as whirring noises
brought to her mind the thought
of the dread ratt1ers of Mexico.
Every whirr of insect wings, every
creeping insect was a horror un-
mentionable.
The night birds of Mexico that
flew from mesquite bushes and about
her head, drove her frantic Every
sound a horror-every horror bring
ing the ice cold finger of dread and
fear to her heart
Praying to the God she has so
well represented, she strove onward
through the night, first toward Mig
ger Head mountain, because it was
all she, could see in the darkness
'then toward the glaring red lights
of Douglas copper smelters that made
her dream of inferno as her faltering
limbs dragged onward.
God above. Ny merciful Lord
Protect me! Guide my steps"
Dante could not have painted with
his remarkable word imagry any
thing to compare. Fear that her
abductors were at her heels, that
she would be slain rather than per-
mitted to escape-not afraid to meet
her God-but praying to that Lord
of Hosts with every supplication for
deliverance that she might live to
carry on His work.
"God has been good to me. My
friends-and even here they, seem
legion-are so kind, SO marvelously
sympathetic.
Guide thou me on-Guide thou

ATTENTION TO THIS
CITY; PATIENT RESTS

Aimee Semple Mcpherson pastor of the
Church Of the Four Square Gospel of Los An
geles missing since May 18, and long believed
dead, after wandering into Aqua Prieta fear
stricken and in a hysterical weakened condition,
about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, only to
fall unconscious before a Mexican residence
there, now is resting in the G. & A. &hospital
in this city.
This morning at o'clock, Mrs. Minnie
Kennedy mother of the evangelist Of Angelus
Temple, will arrive over the S. P. lines from
her California home called here by the news
that her daughter is alive, after having been in
the hands of two men and a woman who kid
naped her from Ocean Park Calf, SO days ago.
The evangelist's two children, Rolf and Roberta,
are accompanying Mrs. Kennedy here.
With Mrs. Kennedy comes Deputy District
Attorney Joe Ryan Of Los Angeles, and the
chief Of police Of that city, who will assist in
endeavoring to solve the abduction Of the
evangelist.
Startled, accustomed as the newspaper men
Of this nation to constant surprise, from every
portion Of the nation have come telephone calls
and kilograms requesting confirmation of the
finding of Aimee Semple Mcpherson. From Los
Angeles, from San Francisco and other Cali
fornia cities airplanes bore down upon the city,
bringing sxillfully trained writers, photograp-
hers, and moving picture men to carry back
to California the story of the woman, who, as
she herself expressed it, almost "has returned
from the dead"

evangelist, The awe-stricken crowds
which pressed upon the iron railing
surrounding the spacious lawn had
begun sto disperse.
The crowd had begun to gather at
an early hour this morning when the
first extra edition Of The Douglas
Dispatch appeared upon the streets.
All day long residents of this city
stood outside the hospital in broil-
ing sun and peeped through the half
open door of the room wkere the
evangelist rests. The Dispatch fol-
lowed with another extra in the aft
ernoon.
Mrs Mcpherson, although markedly
fatigued, had banished by sheer pow
er of will, the hysteria which gripped
her when she was brought to the hos
pital Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Mcpherson still is sitting up
in bed, talking rapidly and encourag-
ingly to two newspaper reporters, one
