TRUNK MURDER PROBERS SIFT DRUG THEORY Narcotics Believed to Have Played Part in Killing of Two Women. Front! need From Pace 1) town. She said her brakes were bad, that she was very tired, and that she had to reach Illinois by Sunday and she didn't want to take a chance of losing the route,” Lewis said. Not having anything to do, and not having any money to fear a holdup, I agreed to accommodate her. When we reached the edge of Mk city, near the state capitol, she said she had no money and tried to persuade me to drive her car to Tulsa,” Lewis continued. 'lt was then I looked her straight in the fact and she looked exactly like the pictures of Mrs. Judd I had seen in the newspapers. Lewis said he refused to accompany the woman to Tulsa and left the car and returned to his home. The car's brakes were burned out, he said. Tire car bore either a California or Arizona license plate. The woman looked very tired and kept dozing off to sleep, he said. Sheriff Rogers wired Tulsa officers to watch for the woman. Husband Broadcasts Plea BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Pres* Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23—Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, described as "the blond without a nerve,” evaded hundreds of peace officers in several states today, and disregarded her' husband’s impassioned plea to surrender on charges of killing two women whose bodies were shipped here from Phoenix, Ariz., as luggage. “If this comes to the attention of my wife,” Dr. William C. Judd, the husband, said in a statement he asked newspapers to broadcast, “I j beg and implore her to come to me i or my attorneys and she will be j protected in every possible way.” But the Santa Monica physician’s request brought no better results than did the police hunt made for Mrs. Judd since Monday night, when the bodies of Mrs. Agnes Leroi and Miss Herivig Samuelson, the latter dissected, w'ere found in two trunks and a suitcase in the Southern Pacific railroad station here. Dr. Judd’s appeal was not the first ! of its kind, for her father, the Rev. i H. J. McKinnell, retired Free Meth- j odtst minister of Darlington, Ind., previously had asked that she give herself up and “disprove these charges.” Dead, Brother Believes In the face of her failure to heed these calls, it seemed more apparent that her brother, B. J. McKinnell, student at the University of Southern California, had made the most accurate predictions. "Unless she already is dead, I don’t believe they’ll get her and I hope they won’t,” he said. “She’s a clever woman and, as I’ve said before, she doesn’t have any nerves.” Authorities here and in Phoenix announced that they now were looking for two people instead of one. “We want Ruth Judd and a rhan,” said county attorney Lloyd Andrews of Phoenix. “First we must find the man, but we may find them together,” he added. Authorities agreed, however, in charging that Mrs. Judd shot the girls to death in Phoenix, packed their bodies in the trunks and a suitcase, and came with them here without the aid of an accomplice. On the other hand, it has been fairly well established that a man accompanied Mrs. Judd to the Union station in Phoenix when she checked the trunks through to Los Angeles and bought a round-trip ticket. May Be In Los Angeles Once here, her brother has admitted, she sought him out to help her “dump two trunks in the ocean.” They were prevented from doing this by a baggagemaster. who refused to turn over the trunks until they were opened, that he. might investigate the. source of blood trickling from one. Dr. Judd's plea to his wife came through Attorney Richard Cantillon. who defended William Edward Hickman when that youth was tried and convicted three years ago on charges of murdering Marion Parker. Local authorities still believed that Mrs. Judd must be in or near Los Angeles. “I feel certain we will get her soon.” Detective Inspector David Davidson said. “She was without money, she was in bad physical condition because of tuberculosis, and she was without the-supply of the mild drug she used to induce sleep. “Under these conditions, I feel she could not have gone far. We will get her soon.” BLOCKS LEVY ON BONDS Judge Williams Restrains Sheriff’s Effort at Collecting. Judge Joseph R. Williams today issued an order restraining Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner from executing levies on bond forfeitures against two men charged with false pretense. Forfeitures were ordered in a municipal court recently against Carl Earl Smith and Clyde D. Soltzgaher, alleged to have failed to appear for trial. Williams' order blocked attempts of Sumner to seize more than $15,000 worth of belongings of the two defendants. Williams set. Nov. 3 as date for hearing on a temporary injunction.

COSTS ‘HOLD FIRM’ ON BUTLER DATES

Fairview Co-Eds Fail to Adopt ‘Depression Economies. Crusades in several colleges arid universities throughout the country to reduce the social expenses of the students as yet have found no champions on the Butler university campus. Prices of university dances remain the same this year as they were last. But, university officials say, there have been fewer dances. Fraternities and sororities have shown no inclination to cut the. cost of their dances. Orchestras, fraternity social chairmen say, will be of about the same caliber this year as they have been in the past,. At Purdue, Greek organizations voted to dispose with dance favors, but no group has suggested such a move at Butler. Fraternity presidents point out that social functions at Butler never have been of the elaborate sort that have prevailed at other seats of learning. At Texas university, a group of girls agreed to ride street cars or to walk, in order to save taxi fare for their escorts. Butler men say they “never get breaks like that.” The nickle limit on after-dance refreshments has won no approval from Butler sororities. The Delta Gammas at the Uni-

PLEA MADE BY DAUGHTER FOR MRS. SIMMONS _i Girl Tells of Devotion to ' Family, Grief at Deaths of Children. (Continued From Page 1) with a fan while they put a stomach pump tube in her mouth. “They tried to get mother to go to bed, but she wouldn't and stood over Alice Jean all the time. “We were all there when Jean died. Virginia was there, too. She wasn’t sick until after Jean died.” Asserting her mother was overcome by grief, the girl said Mrs. Simmons was taken from the hospital to the family car for air. She said her mother “cried all afternoon and she was sad and worried ” Requestioned by tsate’s attorneys about preparation of the sandwiches by her mother, the girl said she was in the kitchen all but a few minutes, when she went to take cake from the icebox. “It took about fifteen minutes to make the sandwiches,” she testified. “My mother often made them. Father was there long enough to see j five or six of them made. My j mother put fiat toothpicks in the I sandwiches.” Asa state’s witness, Simmons said | his wife placed round toothpicks in ; the sandwiches. Watches Her Daughter Mrs. Simmons was keyed to every word of her daughter. She watched her every move—for Monday she is expected to take the lance of innocence in her own behalf. Elizabeth Thursday took the jury to the day that Charles W. Friedman says he sold sixty grains of strychnine to her mother. She took her father and mother verbally by the hand up to 9:30 a. m. of that June 18 and then left them. In cross-examination today Elizabeth told state’s attorneys she did not remember the exact time the family arrived in Indianapolis June 18. She said she and her sisters left their parents at the William H. Block & Cos. store “about 9:30." Witnesses' from the store previously testified Mr. and Mrs. Simmons w-ent to L. S. Ayres & Cos., and later to Block’s. They placed the time about 10:30 and still forty minutes remain unaccounted for. She was unable to recall the hour when she and her sisters were supposed to have attended an In-

Elizabeth testified about events of the entire day: Her mother buying anew dress and wearing it to the guild breakfast at 11 a. m. in the Claypool; how she met her again with her father and her dead sisters after the cheer guild’s fete; how her father befught her dead sisters bathing suits, and ljow on their way home from the Indianapolis trip they stopped at Riley memorial swimming pool in Greenfield and how her father and her two sisters, now dead, went swimming together while she and her mother watched. She testified everything she could in her mother’s behalf except to account for “forty minutes” of the time Mrs. Simmons was in Indianapolis. It is this “forty minutes” that the state charges was ample for purchase of the poison.pellets. And it is this “forty minutes” that is expected to become a highlight in her father’s testimony, as he :s expected to relate how he and Elizabeth’s mother shopped throughout the questioned time and could not have purchased the poison the state charges was bought.
