The suit Is based on statements
said to harp been made by the
evangelist and ; her mother during
and prior to the preliminary hear
ing of the, criminal conspiracy
case of the : two church leaders
and Mrs. Wiseman and in which
Mrs. Kimball is alleged to have
been named by, them as the "Miss

Carmel and Kenneth G. Ormiston,
fugitive radio man. ' - ' ;
When , Mrs. "Wiseman first ap
peared and made statements that
It was her sister who was at Car

she was hired and coached to do. so
by the, evangelist and her mother.
