Los ANGELES, July TO-
"a network Of evidence was
surrounding Aimee Semple.
Mcpherson, Angelus temple
evangelist, and Kenneth q.
Ormiston, former radio OPP
orator at the temple, as the
Los Angeles County grand
jury resumed its investigation
of Mrs. McPherson's kidnap-
ing story here today.
Seen With Radio Man
Positive Identification of Mrs.
Mcpherson as the woman who was
accompanying Ormiston when he
drove his automobile into Salina
garage on the morning of May
20, II days after the evangelist':
mysterious disappearance from
Santa Monica, was claimed to
have been found by Joseph Ryan,
deputy district attorney.
Photos Identity Her
Ryan declared the Identification
of the evangelist had been made by
Dennis Collins, night attendant
at the Salinas Garage, from photo
graphs shown him by Ryan. The
deputy district attorney said Col
Inns was willing to face the evan
gelist before the grand jury and es-
tablish his identity.
Ormiston had left his automobile
at Salinas on his way to Los
Angeles, where he showed up the
next day denying any knowledge OF
Mrs. McPherson's disappearance.
Suspicion first pointed in the di.
rection Of Ormiston when his wife,
prior to sailing to her home. in
Australia, threatened to sue for
divorce on the ground OF Ormiston s
friendship for the evangelist.
Recognized Twice More
Yesterday c. e. Pape, Of Tucson,
Ariz., faced the evangelist in the
grand jury room and. according to
officials, was positive in his identi-
fication of her as the woman he
saw in Aqua Prieta with another
woman and two men three days
before she made her appearance
there with the kidnapping story.
Mr.. and Mrs. 0. A, Wick, OF
Culver City, also were positive in
woman they had seen in an auto.
their Identification of her as the
mobile passing through Culver City,
on the way to Los Angeles and
q wav from Santa Monica about
8 or 4 o'clock on the day she dis
appeared.
There was no indication, they
said, that she was being taken
against her wishes.

Coolidge Is Angered
The President is said to be
surprised and seriously displeased
at Jennings failure to resign
following the pointed suggestion
from the White House more
than q week ago that his re-
ggination was expected. He is
said to regard Jennings attitude
as an open-defiance of his ex-
pressed wishes.
Receives Legal Opinion
It is said the President feels that
he, extended Commissioner Fenning
the greatest possible courtesy in
permitting him to retire without the
stigma Of dismissal under a cloud.
He now plans to GUST the Commits
sioner without further formaiity and
to make recess appointment OF his
successor within few days. it was
Indicated
The President. it is understood,
has been given a legal opinion by
Government experts that it is within
his power to dismiss Fenning.
It is said that those close TO the
President are secretly amused at
what they regard as Jennings
mhortsighted obstinacy In refusing
to vacate the office in which his
DreSence is proving q source of Sc
rious embarrassment to party lead
ers.
They feel that he is injuring him.
self by his reluctance to retire with
some show of grace before the
Presidential AK falls on him.
The President, il is said, has not
the slightest intention Of waiting
until Congress convenes in De-
cember so that confirmation by the
Senate OF q successor to the Com
missioner would automatically re-
move him from the office to which
he Is cIinging 80 tightly.
He is said to feel that such de.
lay would be an unwarranted OBJ
struction of justice already too long
deferred.
The number Of applicants for the
District Commissionership to be
vacated by Jennings removal is
increasing daily.
The list is in the possession OF
Everett Sanders, Secretary to the
President in the form Of a L. rge
