By [illegible] [illegible] [illegible] (U. P. Staff Correspondent) LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23. - The hearing of Aimee Semple McPherson on charges of perjury and conspiracy stood adjourned today for the week-end, with the testimony of Superior Judge Carlos S. Hardy, close friend of the evangelist, in the records.

Judge Hardy's testimony, Mrs. McPherson declared today, is a complete vindication of the charges of conspiracy, which are based primarily on asserted negotiations with the late R. A. McKinley, blind attorney, to produce fake kidnapers.

"Judge Hardy's testimony proves McKinley was making an honest effort to produce kidnapers and had entered into negotiations with two men whom I still believe were responsible for my kidnaping," said the evangelist.

Judge Hardy is to continue his story when the hearing is resumed Monday morning.

On the stand late yesterday, the jurist revealed he had held numerous conferences with the blind attorney concerning the search for Mrs. McPherson's alleged kidnapers.

Judge Hardy testified that before Mrs. McPherson's re-appearance, he told Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, the evangelist's mother, that two men had approached McKinley at Long Beach, claiming they were the kidnapers. These men asked for $25,000 ransom to surrender Mrs. McPherson, the judge said.

After the evangelist's escape from kidnapers and re-appearance in the Sonora desert near Douglas, Ariz., the same two men again came to McKinley, according to Judge Hardy, and told the blind attorney they could still help out the evangelist. McKinley was negotiating with the pair for their surrender when he was killed in an automobile accident. Statement Issued Mrs. Kennedy issued a statement after Judge Hardy left the stand at the adjournment in which she said:

"Now you can see that there was no conspiracy on our part and that the only conspiracy there was, existed only in the minds of the staff of the district attorney's office. The testimony as far as it has gone vindicates our position as far as the McKinley matter is concerned."

Judge Hardy's testimony followed that of three witnesses from Douglas, Ariz., who told of finding feminine footprints leading to a point 14 miles south and east of Agua Prieta and in the vicinity of a shack, presumably the desert hut in which the evangelist was held captive by kidnapers.

In addressing her followers last night Mrs. McPherson appeared ju bilant and shouted praises to the Lord for the manner in which the "mist of insinuation and falsehood was dissipated by the light of truth."

"It was a wonderful day for the defense, a glorious unfolding of fact," said the evangelist, reviewing the latest proceedings of her hearing.

Mrs. McPherson again charged that the entire case against her was designed to wreck the work of Angelus temple.

"I am but a grain of dust beneath God's chariot wheels," she said. "If I were the only object of this attack, you would read about it in small print on the last news page of the papers.

"But this is an assault on the cause, on Angelus Temple, on Christianity. This makes it the tremendous story that it is."
