One of Bell's aides, a former Johnson law clerk named Frances M.

One, an IRS clerk-typist, was sentenced to two years on probation after he confessed forging the identity papers as a drunken lark. The second man, however, gave an alias and disappeared. Last month he suddenly turned himself in, identified himself as Michael James Meisner, 27, a former national secretary of the Church of Scientology, and said he had just escaped from two months of "house arrest" by cult members...
