By the Associated Press. ARIZONA STATE PRISON, Florence, Ariz,, February 25—Sentenced to hang May 11, Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, con- victed “trunk” murderess, today occu- pied & cell in condemned row, hopeful her attorneys may yet save her from the gallows Mrs. Judd was brought to the State prison from Phoenix late last night, having left Phoenix a few hours after Superior Judge Howard C. Speakman denied her a new trial and sentenced her to death. Although the execution date was set for May 11, State authorities said it was not likely she would be hanged for at least 15 months. ~ i Appeal Mandatory. | Under Arizona law an appeal to the State Supreme Court is mandatory in all cases where the death penalty is set. If the defense does not make an appeal the State must ask for a review | of the evidence. Because this appeal must be made the execution cannot take place for more than a year. Sheriff J. R. McFadden, who accom- panied Mrs. Judd to the prison from Phoenix, said the convicted woman was in “very jovial spirits” on the trip, singing several Spanish songs. Mrs. Judd learned Spanish while living in Mexico several years ago. McFadden said he questioned Mrs. Judd during the automobile trip about | , details of the killings of Mrs. Agnes Anne Le Roi and Miss Hedvig Samue.- son, but that she declined to answer most of his questions. Says There Was Accomplice. | “In answer to the query “Did you have acomplice?” the sheriff said Mrs. idd replied, “Yes, I had an acom- plice.” She refused, however, to name her purported accomplice. In court yes- terday, when she was sentenced, Mrs. Judd denied authorship of a letter said by her husband. Dr. William C. Judd, 1o have been written by her, in which an alleged acomplice was named. ‘When she was placed in her cell Mrs. | Judd shuddered and remarked, “T vis- | jted a lot of dark caves when I lived | in Mexico and wasn't afraid, but this | dark place scares me to death.” The condemned row is lighted by three dim bulbs. It has been occupied by only one other woman in the his- tory of the State, Eva Dugan, who was Thanged here in 1930 for the murder of a Teculse near Tucson. Mrs. Judd will be prisoner No. 8811.
