Ormiston was the man that was suspected of having a romantic getaway with Aimee McPherson during her alleged kidnapping. In this document, he alleges that it was a different woman he refers to as "Miss X".
From the document: "I left Los Angeles the same evening on the Padre. I supposed this train would stop at Salinas but it did not, so I went on to Oakland. At Oakland I registered at the St. Mark Hotel as K. Gladstone, these being my first two names, in order to clean up and change clothes.
