do L look silly? Don't let anyone
tell you I'd be that stupid-to pay

quiet. What fine fool I'd be to
buy anybody's silence.
Thus Aimee Semple Mcpherson,

today branded charges under grand
Jury investigation that Reyes, for

Mrs. Mcpherson arrived on the

city and call 1t more wicked than
naughty Paris. She is en- route to
her home today for Thanksgiving
turkey.
Aimee branded the renewed in
vestigation into her alleged kldnap-
ing into Mexico two years ago as "a
form of persecution by unknown
enemies" She termed the story that
she had hushed up Keyes for $500.
900 as pure bunk.
Enthusiastic About England
Mrs. Mcpherson was more eager
to discuss her four-month tour of
Europe. She was enthusiastic about
her reception in England. She
claims thousands of converts.
Aimee went on to tell of Paris.
She insists that France Is rich
field for revivalists and regretted
that she was nable to speak there
because of lack of knowledge OF
the language.
But it wasn't so bad after all,
she said after telling how shocked
she was TO see bars open on the
