If the • bonds pass—as they undoubtedly will—
it will mean the purchase of another truck to re
place the present antiquated equipment which has.
done valued service for, the past 14 years, and
which has just about outlived its usefulness. if
also will permit the purchase of additional hose
which is badly needed.
The present fire department truck is a posi
tive menace to the safety of the city. At the present
time it is badly in need of repair, and at any time
it may suffer damages which would put it in a
repair shop for several days. This is exactly what'
happened this summer and for several days the
city of Ashland was w ithout adequate fire protect
ion.
Fire Chief Baughman and his fire fighters
are giving the people of Ashland the best possible
protection with the present apparatus. Give them
better equipment and they will give yon just that
much added protection.
The purchase of a new fire truck is absolutely
essential. Give your property and your neighbor’s
property the added insurance it deserves by voting
for this fire department bond issue.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29.—
(United NSWs)— Bringing to a
close five weeks of sensational
charges and counter charges, the
fate of Almee Semple McPherson
was consigned to the argumenta
tive powers of her attorneys when
the defense rested Its case late
Thursday.
The final stage of the long and
turbulent preliminary
hearing
will be enacted next Wednesday
morning when the state, through
District Attorney Asa Keyes, wil!
demand that the evangelist, with
her mother and other co-defend
ants be bound over for trial in su
perior court on charges Of per
jury and conspiracy to defeat
Justice.
Wusk- TV « «-_-
In the interim the defense will
file a brief with the court, pro-
ably on Monday, setting forth
its reasons to prove no crime
had been committed, to ba fol
lowed a few hours later by the
state's declarations to the oppo
site.
The prosecution, it was learn
ed. will stress the Carmel-by-the-
Rea angle of the case. The state
will direet its greatest efforts to
establishment o f the fact that
the ovangellst and Kenneth O.
Ormiston occupied a. "love cot-
tisge" at Car*el, during IT period
when she was supposed to have
been held captive by kidnapers,
who — spirited her away »from
Ocean Park beach last May.
To this end Keyes is expected
to stress the story of Mrs. Lor
raine Wiseman, the "hoax wo-
man,” whose story that she was
hired by the evangelist to pro-
duce a fraudulent "Miss X. ” re-
maliia one of the high lights of
the case. There will be compar
atively little mention of the his
toric 20rmlIe trek the evangelist
said she made through the deseri
of Mexico, it was said.
Final Witness
Douglas Swan, last witness tor
the defense, testified nt today’s
session that the photographed
copies of Carmel grocery sllpe
had been retouched. U n d e r
cross examination Swan, a hand-
tiling expert, admitted that he
was unable to say whether the
slips and the "light and dark
ness” sermon written by the wo
man pastor, were the same hand
writing. Swan was responsible
for the most widespread distur
bance of the hearing, when news-
papermen were summoned to the
stand and declared the prints he
had used in his testimony were
not those he had secured from
them.
