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.
