MRS. JUDD'S JURY | NEAR COMPLETION Counsel Indicates Attempt May Be Made to Shift Blame in Double Killing. Music Muller and Gieseking Stars of Morning Musicale, ANY people at yesterday's Townsend musicale at the Mayflower asked, Walter Gieseking? the more he played the more anxious they became about his methods, his nationality, and why— oh, why—they had never heard him | before. And this because Mr. Gileseking displayed him- self as a rare artist whose technical pro- ficlencies, par- ticularly among the moderns, were a definite inspiration, and whose program was a lustrous affair rovoca- tive of many encores, The data on this splendid pianist are as follows: He was born November 5 1895; his birthplace was Lyon, France, but he is thoroughly German by blood, training and temperatment; his father was a physician; young By the Associated Press COURT HOUSE, January 21.—Counsel for Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, Los Angeles physician's wife charged with the murder of two women, will seek to shift or divide the burden of guilt, it was intimated as the Jjury neared completion today Altho Mrs. Judd's attorney had announced they would enter a plea of insani questioning of tentative Jurors by Herman Lewkowitz of de- fense counsel indicated the defense would concern itself with establishing “reasonable doubt of the connection” of Mrs. Judd with the slayings of her two former friends, Agnes Anne Le Roi and Hedvig Samuelson, and ‘“the possibility the crime was committed by another party.” Phoenix, _Ariz., Maria Muller.

O, ~ gave an interesting and delight- ful organ recital last evening under the auspices of the District of Co- lumbia Chapter of the American Guild of Organists in the National City Christian Church on Thomas Circle. Mr. Potter was assisted by Ruby Potter, lyric soprano. She sang two numbers, the first containing Bach's arioso, “My Heart Is Fixed,” and the aria, “O Had I Jubal's Lyre” from Handel's “Joshua,” and her sec- ond number was Gounod's difficult and very beautiful “O Divine Re- deemer.” Mrs. Potter has a clear and very high voice, which has richness” in the medium register unu: in lyric sopranos.

The coloratura work in the Handel aria was particularly well done, and in the Gounc4 number she showed much dramatic ability. Mr. Potter, who is as well known a planist as he is an organist, showed brilliant technic and a keen sense of the value of climaxes. He played with delicacy of shading and traditional phrasing, and handles the pedals skillfully. His opening group were compositions by Bach and he later played Franck's Fourth Beatitude, “Blessed Are They Which Do Hunger and Thirst After Right- eousness,” arranged by Sumner Sal- ter. Hollins' “A Trumpet Minuet” in its daintiness was a sharp con- trast to the Fourth Beatitude and the first movement of Widor's Fourth Symphony.
