today by .Mrs J Virla Kimball of
dakland, twin sister ofLMrs. Lor
raine Wiseman-Sielaff, co-defend
ant with the Angelas Temple- lead
ers to criminal conspiracy charges.
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
X" who occupied - a ' cottage at
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
mel wits Ormiston. the suit alleges
she was hired and coached to do. so
by the, evangelist and her mother.
Mrs. Kimball's action nets forth
that "she Is the only sister o? Mrs.
Wiseman, - i. -"..: .
On numerous': occasions, the

the "certain Miss X" affidavit was
signed la Salinas and of which she
was identified by the evangelist's
witnesses as the signer, she was
