GLAD OF VERDICT
Board of Managers To|
Urge Reopening Of Kid
naping Case.
By HOMER L. ROBERTS
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent).

SACRAMENTO, Calf April 27.
U,P)-While the fiery he'd head and
tongue of Aimee Semple Mcpherson
wagged bitterly against her per
secutors, > tine shadow of accusation
in the evangelist s mysterious kid
naping was lifted today from the
white head of Superior Judge Car
los s. Hardy by the acguittal ver
dict of the California senate court
Of impeachment.
The sad, quiet, woman, who cried
audibly as assembly prosecutors
branded her kidnapping story as an
unmitigated fabrication and ac-
cused the elderly jurist of Official
misconduct and obstructing justice
in defending her, was suddenly
transformed into a defiant woman
who employed every ounce of her
revivalist 5 fervor in denunciations.
Before the echo of the senate roll
call acquitting the jurist of four
impeachment charges had died, Mrs.
Mcpherson had begun her attack.
Walter j. Little that the assembly
managers. believing that ample
proof now exists of conspiracy,
would be willing to turn over to the
Los Angeles district attorney all
their evidence against the evange,
list, failed to halt Mrs. McPhers
s attack.
She charged that the assembly
prosecutors were publicity seek.
ers, that they had boasted of evi
dence against her which they could
not substantiate and that they had
made it appear that she and not
Judge Hardy was on trial.
The closest vote on the im9eaeh
ment charges was the y to 1S ac
quittal vote on the count that
Judge Hardy obstructed justice
during the investigation of Mrs
McPhcrson's kidnapping story by
directing attorneys and hiring de
tectiyes, The other counts cite6
Judge Hardy's acceptance cf G
S2,500 check from Angelus Temple
for alleged legal services, allegel
ntmidating newspaperman who
claimed to have identified tht
evangelist as the companion OF
Kenneth g. Ormiston at Carmel-by
tho-Sea, and the charge that the
iurist rendered legal services Il
Angelus Temple while serving OF
the superior court bench
The trial lasted three weeks dur
ing which the entire story Of Mrs
Mcpherson 5 disappearance three
years ago was revived and injected
with the new skepticism by charges
Of Mrs. Lorraine Scilafi
that the kidnapping was a "hoax'
and that she had been hired by
Mrs. Mcpherson and Judge Hard
to produce woman who would pos,
as Omission s companion in the as
serted Glove nest" at Carmel.
To all the old and new charges
Mrs. Mcpherson never was allowed
to answer. Called as rebuttal
witness for the state in midnight
session, she was asked only eeW
questions which she confidenth
countcrcd with a smiling 81 can
rot remember.
Judge Hardy, who contendoi hat
hlS acts were those Of friendship
apparently was confident of au ac
quttal verdict.
- rejoice that after a full, faii
and Just trial by the senate sitting
as a court of Impeachment, | have
been acquitted, Judge Hardy
