LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28. — (AP) — Kenneth G. Ormiston, missing radio man and one of the seven persons charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice in the Aimee McPherson case, plans another move in an effort to clear the evangelist in the Carmel cottage episode, according to a letter from him received today by Roland Rich Wooley, attorney for Mrs. McPherson.

The radio man, in the letter, which was forwarded through Edward H. S. Martin, his Chicago attorney, and was signed by a typewriter, says that Ormiston will reveal the mysterious "Miss X" who occupied the cottage with him for ten days beginning May 19. Ormiston writes that a new affidavit to be sent to the Los Angeles attorney will detail the radio operator's movements from May 29 to June 23, the movements of "Miss X" prior to May 19 and after May 29 so far as they are known to Ormiston. The letter was postmarked Chicago and, although necessarily sent several days ago, was dated September 28.
