" A-10 SEEKS T0 UNMASK - SLAYING MOTIVE State Presents Evidence Over Objections of Mrs. Judd’s Counsel. By the Associated Press COURT HOUSE, PHOENIX, Ariz. January 23.—Driving toward completion of evidence by which the prosecution is endeavoring to hang Winnie Ruth Judd, Cbunty Attorney Lloyd J. Andrews ap- ptpached today the unmasking of the alleged motive for the defendant’s con- fessed alaying of her two women vic- tims ‘Over continued strenuous objection of defense counsel, led by the white- haired veteran Paul Schenck, the State presented to the jury a story of the disappearance of Agnes Anne Leroi and Hedvig Samuelson from their home in Phoenix last October 16. State witnesses then told of the send- ing of two trunks and a battered suit case to Los Angeles, of the unsuccessfil attempt there of Mrs. Judd to claim t baggage and the discovery therein of the bodies of the women. Identifies Trunks. i Lieut. Pred Ryan of the Los Angeles | police described his inspection of the | trunks which had aroused the suspicions | ofia train baggage clerk. He identified the receptacles in which the bodies were found. Dr. A. F. Wagner, chief autopsy surgeon of Los Angeles County, followed with testimony striking at the original self-defense story of Mrs. Judd. He contradicted her assertion Mrs. Samuel- son's body was dismembered only when it became necessary to divide the bodies among various pieces of baggage The autopsy surgeon said he had con- cluded dismemberment of Miss Samu- elson’s body had been performed either immediately following death or within & very few hou A transfer company driver previously had testified to taking one large trunk from the death cottage to Mrs. Judd's T.ome, because it was so heavy he de-) clined to transport it to the railway sta- tion, 24 hours after the State contends | the murders were committed Pistol “Held Very Close.” Dr. Wagner testified his observation | of. bullet wounds found—one in the head of each woman—had led him to the conclusion the pistol had been held “yery close” in each instance Bpencer Moxley, ballistics expert of the Los Angeles Police Department, sub- mitted to a long cross-examination in copnection with his _identification of shells and bullets as having been fired from & 25-caliber automatic pistol found in Mrs. Judd’s hat box after she abandoned it in the Los Angeles rail- wav station. The specialist still was on the stand when Andrews, at inquiry of the court, announced he expected to be able to rest the State's case early Monday. The county attorney had yet to make good on the final assertion of his open- ing statement to the jury: “We will show the existence of strained relations between these women for as long as five or six weeks before the murder: J. J. Halloran, lumber dealer friend of all three women. and Miss Lucille Moore, nurse, who first told investiga- tors of a party at Mrs. Judd’s house the night before the slayings, were gen- erally assumed as the witnesses who would be used in the effort to establish motive. Andrews, however, kept close counsel as to his plans, except to say he might reserve Halloran as & rebuttal witness| to testify after Mrs. Judd's attorneys had set up their defense.
