SUBP0ENAED FOR
HARDY'S TRIAL

Los ANGELES, March %. U.H-
Aimee Semple Mcpherson, titan
haired evangelist of Angelus Temple,
has accepted subpoena to testify
before the state assembly in its i'm
parchment trial of Judge Carlos S.
Hardy, but prefers not to talk about
it.
After receiving the papers from
deputy Sheriffs who waited deter
minedly for several hours in a Tenn
pie ante-room, Mrs. Mcpherson re-
tired without comment.
When she appears as a prosecution
witness in the trial of the Los An
gelus jurist, who is accused of ac-
cepting $1,000 check from the
Temple after her mysterious disap-
pearance of 1926, she may hear that
adventure reOpcned for further in
Vestigation.
Among the 2l witnesses called by
the Legislators were Former District
Attorney Asa Keyes and Joe Ryan,
a deputy under Keyes. They were
the two men who investigated her
"kidnaping' and took before the
grand jury the evidence which led
to her Indictment on charges of OBJ,
structing iustice,'
The ease was dismissed and the
legislators want to know why. They
also want to know why Keyes, since
convicted of bribery in the Julian
Petroleum eases, did not tell the
grand jury that he knew of the
$500 check.
Further, they are interested in the
Glove nest at Carmel-by-the-Sea
where Ryan accused Mrs. McPher-
son of being during the weeks she
said she was kidnapped.

BELIEVES SCORES
OF ALIENS DIED
As ship SINKS
Coast Guard Scuttles
Notorious Smuggler in
Gulf of Mexico.

NEW ORLEANS, La, March %.
W.P)-U. S. Attorney Edmund +.
Talbot today expressed his belief
that scores of aliens being smuggled
into the United States were drowned
when the coast guard cutter DeX-
ter sank the buccanecring ship,
Imalone, in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Imalone went down under the
gunfirc of tho cutter when its
crew made unusual resistance to
boarding by the government crew.
This unusually determined resis-
tancc was cited here as evidence
that the ship carried aliens in ad-
dition to the rum and drugs which
were said to have been its custo-
mary cargo. The aliens, hiding in
the hold, would have been trapped
when the gunboat fired.
The position of the Imalone when
sunk, Talbot said, was definitely
within the II mile limit prescribed
in patrolling regulations for coast
guard craft.
WASHINGTON, March % U.P)-
Rear Admiral Billiard, commandant
of the coast guard, will stand
squarely behind the action of of
ficers of the two cutters which sank
the British schooner lmalOne off
the Louisiana coast, he said today.
He said the schooner was a emo
torious rum runner.
'Thc record of the Imalonc is
well known to every coast guard Of
ficer on the Atlantic and gulf
coasts Billiard said.
"In the last five years we have
had dozens of records of our vessels
spotting her but she always has
been too fast for them.
The incident off the Louisiana
coast was precipitated by orders
from headquarters here March u
to Officers of coast patrol boats
Wolcott and Dexter to seize the
schooner after she had been sighted
near Trinity Shoals.
A description of the Imalonc con
tanned i'm coast guard records show
ed that it is light draft l25 foot
sailing schooner equipped with 4
fast Diesel engine The vessel 5
cruising range is about two weeks,
but by conserving fuel and using
the sails it could remain at sea sew
eral months. Maximum speed Of the
schooner is believed about II knots,
which is several knots faster than
most. coast guard patrol boats and
cutters can make.
When loaded the lmalonc has a
gross weight of POS tons. Her net
weight is IA tons, and daft of
about 10 feet.
