mother, today had not yet been
called to the stand at the pre-
!. liminary hearing.
Aimee UnIoOses Hair
Mrs. Seilaff, admittedly the States
star witness, has so far been side
tracked while the State has been
attempting to prove that Mrs. Nc
Pherson was the woman companion
of Kenneth G. Ormiston. radio oper-
ttos5 at Carmel, at the time when
her followers thought her drowned
and during which time Mrs. Nc
Pherson claims she was held a cap
tive in Mexico by kidnapers.
Proceedings at the preliminary
hearing were enlivened yesterday
when Mrs. Mcpherson Embossed her
mass of auburn hair to prove that
she did not wear a switch.
cipitated by the discussion Of the
sort of hair net Mrs. Mcpherson
wore at the time she claims to have
been kidnapped. When the woman
evangelist appeared in Arizona after
the alleged Kidnapping she was
wearing a hair net made of brown
silk. She said that she had it
during the five weeks she had been
held captive.
Her secretary, Miss Emma Schaef-
fer, yesterday testified that Mrs.
Mcpherson was wearing a hair net
= made of human hair the day she dis.
appeared from Ocean Park.
Wrist Watch Alibi
Whether or not Mrs. Mcpherson
had her writ watch with her during
the time she was missing was
apother angle preached yesterday.
Miss Schaffer said that she had
the watch in her possession during
this time, yet photograph taken
of Mr.. Mcpherson in Arizona short.
ly after her temperance showed
that she had her watch, it is said.
Mrs. Mcpherson makes no effort
to dispute Miss Shaffer's testimony
regarding the watch. She admitted
before the grand jury that she did
not have her watch with her and
explained its presence in Arizona oy
saying her mother must have
brought it with her when she came
from Los Angeles to meet her.

THE DOOR YIELDS!-Only few
minutes had passed since I escaped from
Delroy and locked the door against him,
but it seemed like hours, so much had
happened. Suddenly we heard crash.
The door had yielded. We could see it
swing open from where we stood. Avery
pushed me quickly but gently behind
him, and stood with clenched fists ready
for our mutual enemy. "Keep back" he
whispered. "He's going to get a party
this time"
The Washington times., 1926-10-01

TELLS HER STORY!-There in the
moonlight, my head resting on his Shout
der told him the story, in broken, hur-
ried sentences. Delroy was still at his
task. We could hear the door giving
way. But almost forgot it. The feel of
Avery's strong arms about me, his COM
forting words, the thrill of his kiss on
the top of my head, made me feel safe
and secure. I knew, then, l loved him,
and I felt he must love me. Nothing
else mattered.

JOE P. WILSON RESIGNS
FROM ARIZONA CENTRAL

At a meeting on Tuesday of the
directors of the Arizona Central bank
of Flagstaff, the directors accepted
the resignation of Joe P. Wilson, vice.
president and director. The resigna-
tion becomes effective tomorrow.
Mr.. Wilson will go to Phoenix
about the middle of January and for
the next several months will make
that city headquarters, buying wool
for Dewey, Gould & Co. Of Boston.
He is not able to announce now what
he will do after the close of the wool
buying season next summer; prefer
ring to take his time in considering
several available banking and busi-
ness opportunities, some in this state
and some in California.
Mrs. Wilson and children, Miss
Josephine and Marshall, will remain
here at least until the end of the
spring term of school. Miss Joseph
inc is a member Of the June gradu-
ating class.
Joe may make affiliations that
will result in his remaining here.

great many. During the more than
20 wears since Joe came from Chica-
go to Flagstaff he has been one Of
our most progressive and most popu-
lar citizens, and ranks too high IN
the regard of all who know him to
make it easy to become reconciled to
his locating elsewhere.
