Ormiston Sends Letter To Keyes In McPherson Inquiry
Kenneth Ormiston already sought by Los Angeles prosecutors in the Aimee Semple McPherson case sends a letter through Chicago attorney Edward Martin to Asa Keyes, Los Angeles district attorney, offering to reveal the radio man’s location if the nationwide hunt ends. He denies wrongdoing, says he has not been in Los Angeles since June 24, and warns he will not be treated as a fugitive. The tale ties to the broader alleged kidnapping hoax surrounding the evangelist and related court hearings in Arizona and California.
