By the Associated Press. i PHOENIX. Ariz, October 29 —New evidence intended to conttadict the | story of Winnle Ruth Judd and indi- cating that possibly she had an accom- | plice in the slaying of Miss Hedvig | Samuelson and Mrs. Agnes Le Roi here | two_weeks ago was being rounded up ' by Phoenix authorities today. Mrs. Judd stated she shot both women the morning of October 17 the climax of & quarrel over social af- | fairs. She admitted placing the bodies in trunks and sending them to Los Angeles. Was Seen on Street Car. A street car motorman in Phoenix, Benjamin W. Jurgemeyer, said yester- day that Mrs. Judd was a passenger on his car the night of October 16, getting off the car near the Ls Roi-Samuelson apartment at 10:15 pm. and again boarding the car at 11:35 p.m., return- ing to & point near her own home. Mrs. Judd had alleged she remained at the home of her two victims the night of the slayings. Neighbors of the two slain women said that late the night of October 16 “a large black sedan” entered the drive- way of the Le Roi-Samuelson home. Ph-enix authoritics were endeavoring to trace ‘the cwnership of this car to learn whether it contained Mrs. Judd or some friend of the slain women, or perhaps an accomplice in the killings. Meanwhile the extradition fight and future defense of Mrs. Judd rested Paul Schenck, veteran Los Angeles at- torney. ‘Will Ask Short Delay. Schenck was retained last night by | Dr. Willam C. Judd, h\ nd of the | slayer, to supplant other defense counsel. Schenck said he would ask a short delay in the extradition hearing of Mrs. Judd, whose custody | suthorities are seeking. | was scheduled for this afternocn on an | | action brought by Sheriff J. R.

The writ is the only thing in the way of Mrs. Judd's re- moval to Phoenix to stand trial for | murder. | Schenck gave no intimation what de- | fense would be made by Mrs. Judd. Her former counsel, Louis P. Russell, had indicated he might change her plea from one of self-defense to insanity.
