Farley, after a visit to the executive Thurs- day, is quoted as saying: “Governor Roosevelt will be openly in the field very soon. “He will be nominated by acclama- tion on the first ballot, and will sweep the country, as I said a year ago.” It was reported at the capitol that p! the governor's announcement of his candidacy might be expected about Jan. 30, his 50th birthday anniversary.

She is being tried first for the slaying of Agnes LeRoi, X-ray tech- nician, three months ago. A separate murder indictment charges her with slaying and dismembering Hedvig Samuelson, tubercular convalescent, na- tive of North Dakota. Debate Over Suitcase Causes Delay in Trial “TWO-GUN CROWLEY PAYS FOR SLAYING IN ELECTRIC CHAIR} ‘My Last Wish Is to Send My Love to My Mother’, Says ‘Wise Guy’ Winnie Ruth Judd’s Counsel Ob- jects to Acceptance of Luggage as Evidence Court House, Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 22. —()—Winnie Ruth Judd’s counsel started a court battle Friday when the state offered its exhibits of receptacles in which the bodies of Agnes Anne Le-| Rol and Hedvig Samuelson, native of North Dakota, were sent from Phoe- nix to Los Angeles. Prompt objection was made by Paul Schenck and Herman Lewkowitz of the defense as the state brought to the court room in the murder trial the | &T#l |first of its major physical evidence— a suit case which contained parts of the body of Miss Samuelson when it was found Oct. 19 in a Los Angeles railway station. The state contends both women were slain by Mrs. Judd Oct. 16. In addition to the suitcase, a hat- box and two trunks were awaiting |submission when argument over ad- missibility of the first threw the court into recess while counsel and judge consulted authorities. Doesn't Come Under Rule Attorney Schenck and Lewkowitz argued the suit case did not come un- der the rule by which the other re- ceptacles might be entered in evi- dence, since it contained “only parts of the body of Miss Samuelson, and nothing else.” Mrs. Judd is on trial only for the murder of Mrs. LeRoi in the present case. The trunks and the hatbox, defense indicated, would not be protested, since they were understood to have contained portions of bodies and ma- terial pertinent to both the LeRoi and Samuelson cases. Judge Howard C. Speakman accept- ed from County Attorney Lloyd J. An- drews briefs of supreme court deci- sions affecting the point, and defense counsel adjourned to the Maricopa county law library to consult. Negro Porter On Stand The interruption of the state's hith- erto rapid progress came while the! first witness of the day, John D.! Washington, negro head porter at the Fhagalx Union station, was on the stand. Washington rolled his eyes toward Mrs. Judd, seated at the counsel table, identifying her as a woman he had helped abroad the Southern Pacific train for Los Angeles at 8 o'clock on the night of Oct. 18. “I put her baggage on the train,” he said. “She had a suit case and a Bay Bar The hat box had ‘A. A. M.’ on it.” An objection by defense counsel when the state attempted to have the Suit case marked as an exhibit in evi- dence stopped further questioning of Washington. After a recess of 15 minutes, Judge Howard C.

A suggestion made at the Associa- tion of Commerce meeting Wednes- day night that every man, woman and child can participate in the campaign by writing letters to friends and rela- tives in all parts of the state, solicit- ing their interest, was wide apporval and both groups and indi- viduals were limbering up their pens and typewriters preparatory to advis- ing their friends and r.latives of the facts involved in the case. Preparation to provide printed mat- ter for inclosure with the personal letters will be considered by the cam- paign committee which will direct Bismarck’s effort. _ First of the organizations to swing into action was the Missouri Slope Life Underwriters’ association, which met Thursday night at the Grand Pacific Hotel to observe Life Insurance Day of thrift week. Before the meeting was over J. J. Caplice, president, had turned it into @ capital defense session and plans were made for the active participation of the group in the fight. abandonment of more than a million dollars worth of state property in Bis- marek, would result in a heavy in- Crease in state taxes. The resolution said in part: tion“ would be placed upon the people of the state by the removal of the solved that the Missouri Slope Life Underwriters’ association furnish to each membet of the other life under- the legislature of 1931, and that « copy of said resolutions on capital re- moval be sent to each of the 2,600 li- censed life insurance solicitors of the State of North Dakota. “And be it further resolved that his friends, sub-agents and influential Policy-holders throughout the state, urging their support for the retention of the capital at Bismarck. Cooperation Is Pledged “And be it finally resolved that the Missouri Slope Life Underwriters as- sociation hereby pledges its unre- served cooperation and support to the Capital Retention Committee of the Association of Commerce, and holds itself in readiness to furnish such as- sistance as the committee may see fit to request.” There were other indications Friday that Bismarck was “loaded for bear” in the fight to repel Jamestown’s at- tempted aggression. Facts as to the effect on taxes and other data were being marshaled and were to be pre- sented to the general campaign com+ mittee at a meeting late Friday. A meeting originally scheduled for Thursday was delayed in order that every member of the committee might be present when initial consideration was given to the campaign plan.
