SARA NORTHRUP HUBBARD, being duly sworn, deposes and says:

I am the plaintiff in the above entitled action. The complaint therein, which is for Divorce or Annulment, was filed on the 23rd day of April, 1951, and summons was duly issued thereon. Said complaint is hereby referred to and made a part hereof. Defendant L. RON HUBBARD (1)XXX (2) Has departed from the State of California; (3) XXX (4) Conceals himself to avoid the service of summons. (Strike out inappropriate portions.)

Corroborative of the foregoing statement–are the following facts and circumstances (See Note, over):

That said defendant, L. Ron Hubbard, on the 24th day of February, 1951, abducted the child of the marriage, Alexis, age 13 months, with the assistance of Richard B. DeMille, and Frank B. Dessler, an ex-convict, who heads the Hubbard Dianetics Research Foundation in Los Angeles; That further, said Hubbard and said DeMille, kidnapped plaintiff from Los Angeles to Yuma, Arizona, and said Hubbard, ever since said 24th day of February, 1951, has remained outside of the State of California; that affiant alleges that said Hubbard remains outside of the State of California for the purpose of concealing himself to avoid the service of Summons; that the last communication said affiant has received from said Hubbard was mailed from Havana Cuba, said letter and envelope being attached hereto, and made a part hereof, said letter being received by affiant this date; that said Hubbard has a mailing address at 275 Morris Street, Elizabeth, New Jersey, being the National Headquarters of the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation, that a copy of the last letter received by affiant from said defendant, to-wit, the envelope is also attached hereto, reciting the return mailing address of said Hubbard in Elizabeth, New Jersey, as P.O. Box 502

That there has not been filed by or on behalf of defendant in the office of the County Recorder of said County of Los Angeles any certificate of residence as provided in Section 1163 of the Civil Code of California, as appears from an examination of the index to certificate of residence in said office made by me on the 25th of April, 1951.

Subscribed and sworn to me this 25th of April, 1951.
