A district attorney in Los Angeles is building a criminal conspiracy case against the evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1. - (AP) - Disappearance yesterday of the sixth group of documents which the state has used for evidence in the Aimee Semple McPherson conspiracy case caused District Attorney Asa Keyes to take extra precautions today toward guarding the trunk seized in New York recently as the property of Kenneth G. Ormiston, fugitive radio operator.
The trunk, packed with gowns, robes and other articles of feminine apparel, which Keyes says will definitely link the Angelus Temple evangelist with the former radio operator in a conspiracy to defeat justice, is due to arrive here today.
Keyes has arranged to have detectives receive the trunk from the carrier and remove it to a secret destination, where it will be opened and its contents examined.
Every garment will be photographed from every conceivable angle and the original negatives will be placed in the county's vaults. The evidence then will be stored away for use in the event Mrs. McPherson and and her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, are held for trial in superior court on criminal conspiracy charges.
Keyes today prepared to question Miss Emma Schaeffer, the evangelist's secretary, and Mrs. Elizabeth Frame, the pastor's confidante and a member of the Angelus Temple.
Mrs. Ruth Ormiston, wife of the missing radio man, will return to Los Angeles from Sydney, Australia, next January, and will file suit for divorce here. This was made known in an interview which she recently granted in Sydney.
Mrs. Ormiston was quoted as saying that she will charge desertion, and that she will not mention Mrs. McPherson in the suit.
"I am not interested in Mrs. Mc-Pherson or her troubles," she said.
