Mrs. Mcpherson Goes
Before Grand Jury
Continued From, Page onel

Experts of the police department an
nounced that the finger prints obtain
ed in the Carmel cottage could not be
identified as those of the evangelist,
owing to their blurred condition.
Coincident with this announcement,
Roland r. Wooley, attorney for the
evangelist, returning from Carmel, is
sued statement concluding:
"The case against Mrs. Mcpherson,
viewing it from the Carmel angle,
seems to be founded on thin air and
the story of Mrs McPherson's abduc-
tion as told remains unshaken."
After two days of careful and inns
partial investigation of the reported
presence of Mrs. Mcpherson in the Ben
edict bungalow at Carmel, during the
latter part of May" Wooley's state
ment said, 1T may be truthfully said
that the mystery surrounding the iden-
tity of the couple actually there pres
ent during that time is still unsolved''
Concerning what he declared to be
discrepancies in the description BY
Carmel residents of the woman in the
cottage, Wooley said that one person
said it was woman of 40, another
was positive she was a girl of 25, an
other stated she was fair skin, while
still another reported her to be of
dark eyes, dark hair and olive COM
plexion, while still another positively
stated that a blonde opened the door
forl him and said she was Mrs. McIn-
tyre when she called at the house.
The evangelist, accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. Kennedy, and one of her
attorneys, paid an unannounced visit
to the district attorneys office late
today She declared that she well
coined the announced investigation by
the grand jury for next Tuesday and
her purpose in visiting the district at
torney's office was in answer to news
paper reports that she was attempting
to evade service of grand jury sub
poena, and that she had come in per-
son to obtain it. She was handed a.
subpoena.
