This photograph is very similar to another one that appears with the article, "Evangelist's Kidnaping Case History Replete with Sensations: CITY SHOCKED BY "DROWNING" Veil of Mystery Shrouded Disappearance Mexico Reappearance Set World Agog Court," Los Angeles Times, 11 Jan. 1927: A2. From left to right, Kenneth G. Ormiston, Detective Charles Reimer, and Detective Ben Cohn seated around a radio on a table. Ormiston's arm is resting on the radio. Cohn is holding papers and a cigar. In the background is a Southern Pacific Lines calendar on the page for January 1927. This photograph was taken at the Los Angeles District Attorney's office on January 10, 1927 when Reimer and Cohn returned Ormiston's radio to him. It had been seized by the state when Ormiston was accused of conspiracy to obstruct and pervert justice in relation to the Aimee Semple McPherson case. This photograph is very similar to another one captioned, "Principals in Sensational Drama of Southland: All Hail Outcome as Triumph," Los Angeles Times, 11 Jan. 1927: A2. Text from negative sleeve: Ormiston, Kenneth G. Angelus Temple, 1928. Handwritten on negative: 9, K.G. Ormiston, Ben Cohn, Chas Reemer.
