STATE REFUSES TO CALL AIMEE IN HARDY TRIAL Likely to Prove Unwilling Witness, Says Statement: Rests Case Today. BY HOMER L ROBERTS f nited Press Staff (.orrt^onndrnt SACRAMENTO. Cal., April 13.Defen.se attorneys in the impeachment trial of Superior Judge Carlos S. Hard;, were puzzled today by the "surprise move’’ of the senate prosecuting board in refusing to call Aimee Semple McPherson as a * prosecution witness. The fiery-haired Angelus Temple evangelist, whose mysterious disappearance three years ago eventually led to the present impeachment trial ot her friend. Judge Hardy, was definitely excused as a prosecution witness by the senate board in a signed statement. The statement in part said that "at a hearing in Los Angeles. Mrs. McPherson proved an evasive witness. and the board feels that it is not desirable to further consume the time of the senate in examining a witness who, at most, will only state facts already proven and then only after an examination of the nature of a cross examination ■” Suspicious of Move Attorney Rex Hardy, son of the accused jurist, was "suspicious" of the prosecution move. We will reserve our decision on calling Mrs. McPherson until later, when we figure out what the assembly board of managers is trying to do." young Hardy said. The prosecution probably will rest its case before noon today after the testimony of Bernice Morris, secretary to j. W. McKinley, blind Long Beach attorney, who claimed he was approached by two men purporting to be kidnapers of Mrs. McPherson. Read Judge's Testimony Judge Hardy's testimony at the Los Angeles investigation of Mrs. McPherson’s disappearance was read into the records shortly before adjournment Wednesday. In that testimony, the jurist told of his dealings with Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman SeilafT, “mystery woman" in the McPherson case, who earlier in the week charged that Judge Hardy arranged with her to produce an “alibi" for the evangelist. The transcript also showed that Judge Hardy admitted instructing Burns detectives, investigating the "Carmel incident" in the kidnaping rase, to interview parents of Kenneth G Ormiston, Angelus temple radio operator, to learn if they could induce him to come forward and name Ins alleged woman companion in the cottage at Carmel-by-the-Sea.

1928 CHURCH GAIN IS PAST MILLION

LINDY ESCAPES TRAFFIC JAM Cleveland Crowd Rushes Flier and Herrick. Cji Unit "I Urax CLEVELAND. April 18.-Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh was unwittingly the cause of a near traffic jam late yesterday, as the result of an unsuccessful attempt to see downtown Cleveland. Lindbergh and his host. Parmley Herrick, left the Herrick estate for a trip to the latter's office, and just were entering the building when i the flier was recognized and a | crowd began to gather. In an effort to escape they re- | sorted to an elevator, but the move was anticipated and the crowd met them in the basement when they . attempted to get off. The elevator shot to the first floor again and found the gradually increasing mob ahead of them. They finally fought their way to Herrick's auto. “The crowd was as nice as could be," Herrick said, “but just at this time I didn't feel like meeting a lot jof people. So the colonel and I ! tried to avoid them.” Lindbergh came here to attend the funeral of Herrick's father, late ambassador to France. He will leave as soon as his plane arrives from New York.
