TRUNK REVEALS FINAL EVIDENCE, KEYES DECLARES
Prosecutor Claims Many of 67 Garments Ormiston Had Belong To Aimee.
Los Angelos, Cal., Nov. 2.—The blue trunk of mystery, said to be the property of Kenneth G. Ormtston and containing apparel alleged to belong to Aiinee Semple McPherson, accused evangelrst, spilled an array ot costly finery into the already cluttered records of the case when it was opened on its arrival from New York late yesterday. Silks and brilliants, evening gowns of cloth of gold and silver, snakes skin slippers and filmy lace negligees, gorgeous pajamas and fur trimmed wraps poured from the trunk as the district attorney’s investigators opened it for inspection. Sixty-seven pieces of women’s wearing apparel and knieknaeks were poured in the glittering p.le. “Last Link Needed.” The officials inventoried the entire shimmering shipment seized in New York and sent her under bond. Then they announced that here was the last link needed tc connect the evangelist to a sojourn lust May, in a Carmel bungalow with Ormiston, former Angelas Temple radio operator and fugitive codefendant in the cAmiral conspiracy case. The trunk, said the prosecutor, left Pasadena, May 6, and was repacked in the East: by Orm.ston with the do tiring of his companion in the cottage at Carmel. Severn article#, Distriot Attorney Keyes asserted, could be identified as th« property of the evangelist. Charging that Mrs. McPherson had used a Los Angeles Superior court judge and a former Superior court judge of Monterey county as ‘•dupes” in her alleged plot to manufacture evidence and defeat justice, District Attorney Keyes filed the prosecution’s brief in the evangelist’s case in, Munic.pal court yesterday. ,o Dewitt Pereetl, VO years pld, of Stevenville, Mieh, committed suicide last Saturday just a few hours'after the death of his. wife. The two had been ina&ried nearly fifty years and it is Quite a queer coincidence that Mr. ‘ Fercell’s father ended his life following the death of his wife.

Another Record Broken During the week ending September roads of the United States loaded and moved 1,151,3415 freight cars. If set end to end, the cars loaded in that week—the record week in the history of the railroads up to that time— would entirely encircle the United States and go one-fifth of the distance around a second time. Extended, these cars would form a train ( J,855 miles long. ( f This record freight movement was handled without car shortage. hive years ago the loading of a million freight cars in a single week was a record-breaking performance. For the first eight months of 1926 loadings averaged close to one million cars a week. Of the million cars loaded each week by the railroads of the United States, the Chesapeake and Ohio and Hocking Valley Railways have loaded on an average more than 29,000 cars. These roads for the nrsh eight months of this year exceeded by more than 100,000 the number of cars loaded in the same length of time last year. / The sfeady movement of* this enormous volume of freight speaks for itself as to the part played by the railroads in the business stability of (ids country. W. J. - Harahan, President, The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway.
