CLAIMS IT WAS NOT AIMEE WHO
ACCOMPANIED HIM ON JOUR
NEY
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4.—Ormiston,
in a statement which the Examiner
published, said: “I made the ac
acquaintance of Miss X in Seattle.
She is a nurse.” He detailed wander
ings from the time he left Miss X
until he was found in Harrisburg, Pa.
“I left Carmel May 22 and arrived at
San Luis Obispo May 23. We rested
at a hotel. Continuing in the evening,
we arrived at Santa Barbara. I
was stopped by Wallace Moore, a
newspaper reporter. He told us he
was looking for Aimee McPherson.
After viewing the woman in the car
he was satisfied that she was not
Aimee McPherson. As we drove on
we quarreled over the matter and
Miss X asked to be taken to a hotel.
She was met in the hotel by reporters
and others. I went to Oakland May
31. A long distance call from Miss
X at San Mateo. She asked me to
come immediately and see that she
was taken to her home in Seattle.
Everybody was following my blue
coupe, and I had no privacy whatever,
so rented a Ford coupe and drove to
San Mateo and brought Miss X back
to Oakland. There she boarded a
train for the north.”
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4.(/P)—1The
Times said Attorney Keyes has start
ed a new investigation to determine
Aimee McPherson’s whereabouts when
the supposed kidnapping took place.
His investigation is centered, on the
hotel registration at El Paso two days
prior to Aimee’s reappearance. A
woman remained there a day and a
night after June 21, and went west on
the train which arrived at Douglas
about 10 hours before Aimee was
found at Agua Prieta, across the
: boundary. He also began to check
! Ormiston’s movements and the claim
| that he left Miss X for Chicago about
June 20.
Aimee said: “I don’t care what they
claim to have uncovered in the way of
transcontinental jaunts. I already
have stated I was not Miss X. He
said his companion was Miss X. I
was not at Carmel and that settles
that.”

NUDE OF FASHION
One of the variations of the Eton
crops this season is to have a lock of ;
hair drawn from the back underneath
the ear. It is not easy to train these
! back locks to lie perfectly flat, even
| with the aid of brilliantine, so the i
i English miss has brought out some
original earrings to help. Now the
rebellious locks are passed through a
ring small enough to hold it firmly,
yet not to small to spoil the line of
the hair.
