(United News) Breaking a alienee
maintained since the sensational
confession of Mrs. Lorraine Wise
man, that ahe waa paid to per
petrate the ".Miss X." hoax. Aimee
Semple McPherson ha admitted
that ahe paid the woman "expense"
money."
Although the evangelist' attor
ney denied In a statement that Mr.
Wiseman had ever received any
money from Mr. McPherson. the
Bible teacher refuted this late to
day. She said that Mrs. Wiseman had
received small amounts from her.
Just as she had paid money to
other Investigators working on the
case.
"It seemed only right that when
persona came to u and offered their
assistance we should advance a
little expense money," the evange
list said. "There wa nothing un
usual In the fact that Mrs. Wise
man received money from me as
the circumstances were the same In
case where detective were paid."
Mr. .McPherson declared that
she hd been "utterly fooled" by
the woman and offered thia as an
explanation of the "expense money"
