MRS. WISEMAN
TESTIFIES IN
AffltEE’S CASE
Reputed “ Hoax” Witness
• Gives Her Version of
Kidnaping Plot
.
INSANITY IS ADMITTED
Witness Coalesces She Wee A b
Asylum Inmate.. Says Story
Was Framed
By D a n iil Campbell
LOS ANQBLB8,
Oct.
12,—
(United News)— Under the ad-
mission that she had once been
an inmate of an institution for
the insane, Mrs, Carraine Wise
man, s U r witness for the state,
took the witness stand in .the
Aimee Semple McPherson
per
ju ry hearing Monday,, bringing
the case to its most important
stage.
Defense attorneys fought b it
terly to prevent the admission of
the hoax woman's testimony, but
Judge Blake ruled that Inasmuch
as Mrs. Wiseman was a co-de
fendant on
th e
conspiracy
charges her testimony was ad
missible.
Begins Recital
Mrs. Wiseman then .began her
recital which deals w ith charges
that she was hired by the evan
gelist to produce a fake ”||i|s
X .” , named by Kenneth O. Or-
miston, former Angelus temple
radio operator, as his companion
at the Carmel “ love cottage.”
The state contends that it was
thé famous Bible teacher who
occupied the cottage with Ormls-
ton, and Mrs. Wiseman
claims
that she was promised 16.000 to
stage the. hoax in, order to avert
a public scandal and clear Mrs
McPhersons name.
First Approached
A "M r. M artin of San Franeto
co” first approached her with
the proposition that she pose or
secure a “ Miss X ." , according to
the "witness.
" I met Mr. M artin In the lobby
of the Hotel Lankershim In San
Francisco on July 7,” Mrs. Wise
man said. "H e asked me If
could do some work for. blip. He
said he had been referred to me
by two friénds.”
According to the witness "Mr.
M artin” produced clippings from
newspapers on Mrs. McPherson’s
‘drowning* and others dealing
w ith the Inference that Mrs. Mc
Pherson had been at Carmel.
Must Be Cleared
"H e said -'Mrs. McPherson’,:
name must be cleared of this
thing,’ ” Mrs. Wiseman testified.
" I asked him if he meant that
Mrs. McPherson wasn’t kidnaped
and if she was the woman at
Carmel.
“ ’W ell, I wouldn’t ask you to
work for me If she wasn’t at Car
mel,’ the man said,” Mrs. W ise
man said.
Told to Frame Story
"M r. Martin told me to frame
the story about how my sister
was at Carmel and to come here
tell authorities about it. He told
me it was more Important to
clear Mrs. McPherson’s name of
the Carmel Incident than it was
to prove that she was kidnaped
or to find the shack.”
Opposing counsel wrangled for
more than an hour over the ad
mission of Mrs. Wisemans testi
mony, upon which . the state
hopes to prove that the evange
list and her associates
manu
factured false evidence to sub
stantiate the kidnaping story.

(THE ENGINEER’S REFORT—Oontinusd)
There are many possibilities of increasing your
water supply, three of whioh are outstanding, namely:
conservation of present supply, development of stor
age in Ashland canyon, and South Fork spring near
the head of the south fork of Little Butte Creek.
Other sources of supply have already proved
insufficient, or the cost of development is beyond
your reach, or sufficient data is not available to de-
treruine their feasibility.
-
The spring known as ‘‘Cold Spring” situate^ on
Little Butte CTOek about one mile below Fish Lake
would be the best known supply. This spring has a
minimum flow of about 13 second feet; the water is
pure and has a temperature of 43 degrees at the
spring. A recomoissance survey made during Sep
tember sh'ows that the cost of this development to
gether with rtecessary changes and improvement of
your present distribution system would probably
cost not less than $900,000 and not more than $1,-'
000,000.
A study of the past growth of your city and
probably future growth clearly shows that ah ex
penditure of this amount in our judgment is not
justified at this time.
......
The comparison of the daily per capita use in
Ashland with that of Medford, together with the re
sults obtained, shows plainly that much can be ac
complished by eliminating present waste. A study of
your present distribution system shows that the pres
sure is excessive in many portions of the city. ’ This
excessive pressure" is »probably the cjiief cause of
leaky plumbing fixtures with the constant waste.
The pressure can be regulated by constructing
regulating reservoirs and additions to the distribu
tion system. After this is done the installation of
meters can be depended on to eliminate unnecessary
waste. The use of meters does not mean that the
consumer’s monthly bill need be excessive. A certain
revenue is required to meet the necessary expendi
tures of the water department and the meter rate can
be adjusted accordingly. It does mean, however, that
each individual will be interested in seeing that all
the plumbing on his premises is maintained in good
shape. Mr. Malone’s report well covers^his point and
the estimate given therein are later used in this re
port
v
. The reconnoisande survey of Cold Spring show
ed that it would be much more feasible to pipe the
flow of the South Fork Spring into Ashland than
that of Cold Spring, and accordingly, a preliminary
estimate of the cost of this work has been niatfe.
The South Fork spring is located in section 15,
township 37 south, range 4 east, Willamette Meridian,
about one mile southeast of Big Elk Ranger Station
and about one mile and a half south of the outlet of
Fish Lake. A measurement of the flow of th’e springs
made on Sept. 30th, 1926 showed a discharge of about
5.75 second feet. A month earlier the flow was about
6.5 second feet. For all practical purposes the mini
mum flow can be assumed to be'6 second feet.
The springs occur in a free flow at the foot of a
lava bluff. The water is clear, pure and has a tem
perature of 43 degrees. The water in all respects is
ideal for domestic use. The-summer flow of all the
tributaries of Little Butte Creek is fully appropriated
and this spring would not lie available without pur
chase. We estimate the cost of bringing this into
Ashland through a soil proofed steel pipe, similar
to that now being installed by the city of Medford, of
sufficient size to carry the maximum flow of the
springs average years, to be $650,000 which figure
allows a sufficient amount to cover purchase of water
right on the spring. At least $50,000 more would be
required to adjust your distribution system to the
proposed pipe line.
