LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18- 1AP)--
Kenneth G. Ormiston, with his cele-
brated limp but without his hoped
for sensational story, was back in
Los Angeles tonight facing trial
with his co-defendant, Evangelist
Aimee Semple Mcpherson, on cri-
minal conspiracy charges. Some
where in the city or it's environs

Pherson disappearance case await
ed the next move of the law-his

dictment charging that he was a

ing. story in explaining the surf
to- desert mystery, which ensnared
the two in the tolls of, the law, he
was a silvery voiced announcer at
her Angelus Temple radio station.
Is No Story. He Insists
Not only has he refused SO far
to tell the story which district
attorneys, officers believe would
cinch their conspiracy and perjury
case against Mrs. Mcpherson, but
Ormiston has said he has not
agreed or bargained to tell the
story-if there is one of that ma
ture. #5.as
Seating himself at the district
attorneys typewriter, the radio
man typed al short statement which
he said was to s$refute sr1inors that
he had been paid by a newspaper
to come here and give out a story.
Intrigue and hokum," he wrote,
are as thick as fog, adding:
Il have entered into no under
standing, agreement or contract
with any newspaper. l have not
received one penny from a news
paper, nor will l in the future"
However the copyrighted first
installment of what purported to
be 'an authorized story on the
life and romance Of the radio man,
appeared in newspaper.
Ormiston, nearly "a hours after
he stepped from a train more than
80 miles from Los Angeles and
entered an automobile with news
paper men there awaiting him,
appeared in superior court at 1O:30
this morning. Acting as his own
attorney he asked for and got
reduction in his bail from $4,000
to S20OO, posted a surety bond and
left with instructions to appear
December q for arraignment.
Angelus Temple Serene
While the radio mans unusual
method OF return here after an alb
sence of nearly seven months dur
ing which he was sought from
coast to coast, did not ripple the
apparently calm surface at Ange-
lue Temple, it did rile up things
at the district attorneys office.
r, }. Dennison, who took a lead
ing part in presenting the states
case against Mrs. Mcpherson and
her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy,
at the five weeks preliminary hear
ing, charged that he was double
crossed by Ormiston's private
captors'' who have had him in tow
since he was located at Harrisburg,
Pa, more than week ago.
Dennison after obtaining an in
dictment against the radio man
from the grand jury in an effort
to facilitate his extradition. was
endeavoring at the time Ormiston
arrived in California, to bring a.
about his arrest in Chicago on "a
fugitive warrant.
