SIELLOFF AIDE CLAIMS MISS X HOAX LINKED TO MCFAR L
Los Angeles Sept 4 authorities seized telegrams and papers from a safety box that bolster claims by Lorraine Wiseman Stelati that Aimee Semple McPherson arranged the Miss X hoax to shield herself amid a kidnapping case. Wiseman Stelati swore she was paid to pose as McPherson’s companion with radio operator Kenneth G. Ormiston at a Carmel cottage. The documents tie Wiseman Stelati to the scheme and reference a $5000 promise, with possible grand jury testimony looming. Wiseman Stelati, once described as a Des Moines resident, was among the so called McDonald twins, daughters of an insurance man.
