Attorney S.S. Hahn seated at table with his client, Lorraine Wiseman. Hahn is looking at a stack of papers. Wiseman is looking at him. This photograph was possibly taken in Hahn's office on September 13, 1926, where Wiseman spoke to the press after being arraigned for issuing checks without funds. Wiseman was a co-defendant in the Aimee Semple McPherson conspiracy trial, having admitted that she had falsely claimed to be Miss X, the woman believed to in fact be McPherson who had been with Kenneth G. Ormiston at a Carmel rental cottage.
