this profound understanding in

Lewis Not Man Who
Victimized Her
Los Angeles, June 21 - J P
Jeannette Scott Seymour Young,
33, "who filed a $1,000,000 damage
suit against Ralph Maxwell Lewis,
asserted at a deposition hearing
that he was not the man accuses of
having had her sterilized in 1035.
Miss Young looked-at Lewis, imperator of the Rosicrucian order,
and declared yesterday:
That Is not Mr. Lewis. 'That is
not Mr. Lewis nose, nor his hair,
nor his voice. Let me look at his
hands. No, those are not his hands
either.
At one point, she stopped her
testimony and said she believed
some sort of impersonation hoax
was being perpetrated.
Questioning proceeded. A ruling
in the superior court suit will be
made later.
