ASMEE’S AIDS ASSAIL STORY OF 'MISS X’ Star Witness Will Face Merciless Cross-Quiz From Defense. BY HOMER L. ROBERTS I nited Tress Staff Correspondent SACRAMENTO. Cal., April 15. Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman Seilaff, who asserted that she helped "frame” the "alibi” for Aimee Semple McPherson's mysterious disappearance three years ago. faced a bitter crossexamination on the witness stand in the impeachment trial of Judge Carlos S. Hardy today. Former Senator Frank M. Cair, J chief Hardy defense attorney, was [ prepared to conduct the crossexamination of the star witness produced by prosecution to prove tiie charge that Judge Hardy, sitting as a superior judge, violated a state statute by accepting a $2,500 check from Mrs. McPherson’s Angelus temple as a “legal fee” for services rendered the evangelist during the investigation of her asserted kidnaping. Called Champion Liar “We will produce documents to prove that Mrs. Seilaff is the most monumental liar ever placed on any witness stand,” Carr said. Mrs. Seilaff testified Friday that she had been hired by Judge Hardy I to produce a woman, to be known as "Miss X,” who w'uld pose as the Carmel-by-the-Sca companion of Kenneth G. Ormiston, Angelus temple radio operator. The state introduced notes, telegrams, and letters from Judge Hardy to support her testimony. Defense Attorney Carr said he was prepared to introduce affidavits of six conflicting stories which he charges Mrs. Seilaff told at the Los ! Angeles investigation of the evan- | gelist's disappearance. He said he ! also had copies of commitment I papers to prove his assertion that i the prosecution witness once served j a term in a Utah asylum lor the j insane. All-Day Ordeal Expected Mrs. Seilaff was expect I to ' occupy the witness stand throughj out the day. Prosecution attorneys indicated they might call Mrs. McPherson as a witness after completion of Mrs. Seilaff's testimony. Mrs. McPherson, wearing a snow white costume, preached to 6.000 legislators and townspeop’e at the municipal auditorium. Sunday, the largest church gathering in the history of Sacramento. She made no reference to the impeachment trial ! directly. 1 "I am visiting in Sacramento at ' the very urgent invitation of some friends of mine.” the evangelist said. ”1 find I can not get away without offending them.” Attorneys for Judge Hardy have obtained twelve additional blank subpoenas from the state senate, bringing their total of witnesses to thirty. This would indicate, senate officers said, that the trial probably would continue at least another week or ten days.

Police, in their drive against slot machines, today were permanently enjoined against interfering with the lawful operation of a chewing gum machine operated by George Anderson as the Chicago Gum Vending Machine Company, at 19 North Liberty street. There is only one machine of the kind in the city, officials said, and as long as it is used to dispense nothing but gum there will be no interference. Police had eyed the machine suspiciously because there is a fortune-telling arrangement in which dice are tumbled about at the top. The injunction was issued by Superior Judge James M.

STATE GRAFT RACKET NETS $25,000 HAUL Hundreds of Business Men • Victimized by Fake ‘Sheriff’s’ Cards. Hundreds of Indiana business : men have been victimized by men j representing themselves as deputy ■ sheriffs and agents ot the Indiana ' Sheriff’s Association, who vent ! about the state in 1928 selling space in a convention program and giving “protection cards,” the Better Busi- | ness Bureau disclosed today. Due to the co-operation of Omer Hawkins, then sheriff, with the bureau, the agents took very little out ’ of Indianapolis, the bureau indicat- ' ed. The bureau estimates the agents collected a total of $25,000. The agents represented themselves to be selling “space” in the program for the sheriff's association annual program, the bureau states. They, charged S3OO a page. About 500 copies of the program were distributed. Full pages can be bought in many publications with 50.000 circulation for S3OO. Branded Racketeers The agents, whom the bureau lists as “racketeers” in a bulletin, by inference or direct statement, let their “prospects” know that they would be in the disfavor of the sheriff’s office of their particular county if they did not contribute or that they could “get by” with such “minor offenses” as speeding if they contributed and got one of the “courtesy cards.” Tire courtesy card bears this inscription: "Courtesy Indiana Sheriff’s Association. This is to certify that a contributing member. ...is entitled to courtesies from all peace officers. Benjamin F. Strong, president; Baxter Plew, secretary.” Benjamin F. Strong was sheriff at Crown Point and Baxter Plew a deputy at Sullivan. “The practice first came to the bureau's attention when the executive of a large insurance company informed us that he had been approached bv a man claiming to be from the sheriff’s office and stating that ’Sheriff Hawkins had him down for $300,” which he was there to collect,” says the bureau bulletin. Refused to Be ‘Jyppcd’ “This executive, however, failed to swallow this racketeer story, refused to be coerced, and did not ‘kick in with the amount insisted upon. Thwarted in his purpose to obtain the S3OO by his false statements, the man left in a huff, remarking sarcastically that he would ‘report him to the sheriff.’ “Mr. Hawkins at that time advised us that two men, one bearing credentials from Sheriff Strong of Lake county, and a deputy from the sheriff’s office at Sullivan, Ind., came to his office and requested I letters of introduction to be used

to finish the job of soliciting in Marion county.” "Hawkins informed ot the complaint registered at the bureau, referred them to the bureau office, where they were told that their practices would not be tolerated in Indianapolis.” 12 Injured in Rumania Revolt BUCHAREST.

MATTOX AND DAUGHTER —Photo by National Studio. flowing with the glad, happy statements of men and women who found their first and only relief through the use of (his medicine of 32 ingredients, 22 of which are the juices from roots and herbs. Konjola was not designed to give mere temporary relief, but to bring new, glorious and lasting health. All who suffer and who would know of joys of health again are urged to call without delay, on the Konjola Man, who is at Hook’s Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city. There you will hear of the amazing accomplishments of Konjola. The Konjola Man will make you no promises or claims, but will tell you the cold, verified facts about Konjola. He will show you case after case wherein this medicine proved the first and only one that brought relief. Take, for instance, the case of Mrs. G. K. Mattox and her daughter, who live at 3351LL* West Ray street, this city. More remarkable is this case because of the fact that Mrs. Mattox’s daughter had been given up as hopeless and then, after taking Konjola, received 976 points in a state baby contest. But read for yourself what Mrs. Mattox said to the Konjola Man a few days ago: “Konjola gave my baby glorious health and" benefited me, too. Ever since the birth of my child I had been In a sickly condition. I was weak and nervous; my kidneys and liver were disordered and food failed to agree with me. The constant care of my child sapped my energy and took all my vitality. When Betty Joe was a year old she only neighed fifteen pounds and had hardly gotten a fair start in life. I tried the best medical care, but failed to get any results. Many times I was told that she could not live. Just when I was worried the most and when the future seemed darkest Konjola was recommended.

“The sincere indorsements gave me faith in this medicine and I decided to try it first myself. Surprising as it may seem, this remedy went right to work. The first or second bottle made a wonderful change in me and I knew that, at last, I was on the road to health and traveling fast. When I had completed the full treatment I was a well and happy person. I have gained back my strength and energy; my kidneys and liver function perfectly and my food digests perfectly. Then I started Betty Joe on this splendid medicine. From the first half bottle she began to act differently. She seemed to take a new lease on life. Last fall at the Indiana state fair I entered her in the Better Baby contest and she received 976 points, a really remarkable achievement. Both of us owe Konjola a great debt, a debt that words can never repay.” The Konjola Man is at the HooV‘ Dependable Drug Store.
