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. ,! I. «I (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.
