HALL OF JUSTICE. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28 (AP) - The taking of testimony in the Aimee Semple McPherson preliminary h e a r i n g was completed here shortly after 4 o'clock today, when the defense rested its case and no rebuttal witnesses were presented.

W. I. Gilbert, chief of defense counsel, requested and was granted permission to file a brief for the defense citing authorities in law.

It was stipulated that District Attorney Asa Keyes and S. S. Hahn, attorneys for Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman-Sielaff, co-defendant, would likewise file briefs, all documents to be in the hands of Judge Blake by Monday morning.

On Wednesday, November 3, counsel agreed oral arguments will be presented the order as follows.

E. J. Dennison, for the state Gilbert for the evangelist and her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, also charged with conspiracy; Hahn for Mrs. Wiseman and Keyes closing for the state.

By further stipulation it was agreed to recess until next Wednesday morn. ing at 10 o'clock.

The hearing has been in progress 3C days, a record in the courts here.

After the arguments, Judge Blake must decide whether or not to hold the evangelist and her co-defendants to answer to superior court.

Charge that grocery slips found in a cottage at Carmel, Calif., and alleged to have been written by Mrs McPherson, were tampered with before being photographed, was made through a certified accountant and inspector of documents as the presentation of testimony neared its close.

Douglas A. Swan testified that an enlarged photograph of the slip bore evidence that the words had been "overwritten." Photographs used by Swan in his testimony were challenged by the state and the witness was taken from the stand while several employes of the Los Angeles Times, through which newspaper the pictures were obtained by Swan, were calld to the stand.

Warden Woolard, former city editor; Robert H. Bell, photographer and Reed Kendall, reporter, followed in order to the stand without the prpoer foundation being laid for the use of the photographs.

Continued testimony by Swan was permitted under a motion to strike if not connected up later. Mean while Gilbert launched further efforts to establish the genuineness of the photographs.

Under cross examination Swan testified it was plainly discernible that the slips had been altered between the time they were first photographed at Carmel and when elargements were made for court comparisons. The alterations, he stated, consisted of retracing of the letters.

Swan said he had seen the handwriting on the "Light and Darkness" sermon, but had not examined it carefully enough to say whether or not it was written by the same person who wrote the grocery slips. He added that it would be impossible to determine whether the two documents were written by the same person.

Swan explained that he could not testify how recently the re-touching had taken place, or by whom.

Judge Blake, taking up the examination, asked if the re-tracing had affected the general characteristics of (Continued on Page Eight)
