ALLEGED LOVER MAY BE GALLED IN DEATH TRIAL Winnie Judd Creates Scene as Physician Relates ‘Confessions.’ BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Pre* Staff Correanondent PHOENIX, Ari~., Feb. 3.—One of Arizona's wealthiest men, J. J. < Happy Jack) Halloran, lumber dealer and sportsman, may be called today to testify at the trial of Winne Ruth Judd, charged with slaying Agnes Anne Leroi. He has been prominent in the case as a man who assertedly was intimate with the 27-year-old defendant, and over whose affections Mrs. Judd allegedly killed Mrs. Leroi and Mrs. Leroi’s room-mate, Hedvig Samuelson. The state said this morning it might put him on the stand in an effort to clinch its first degree murder case against Mrs. Judd. Halloran is under subpena as a prosecution rebuttal witness. Physician Testifies The story of Halloran’s asserted intimacy with Mrs. Judd led late Tuesday to the wildest scene of the trial when Mrs. Judd tried to attack the man who told it, then threatened a matron and finally dared Sheriff J. R. McFadden to "slap her down,” as he said he would do. Court closed W'ith Dr. Paul Bowers, prominent Los Angeles psychiatrist on the stand relating what Mrs. Judd told him. "She advised me she had had intimate relations with Halloran and that she hoped to have a baby by him,” Dr. Bowers testified. "When I asked her if she thought adultery morally wrong she told me she thought not if love really existed between the people.” Mrs. Judd at first refused to leave the courtroom at adjournment and then, coming upon Dr. Bowers in the corridor, lunged her shoulders into him and almost knocked him from his feet. Defies Attendants "How dare you tell things about me like that,” Mrs. Judd cried. "I'll kill you if you come to my cell for me in the morning,” Mrs. Judd said to a matron who interceded. "I dare you to slap me,” she told Sheriff McFadden, when he told her to behave or get "slapped down." Mrs. Judd was led to her cell, her eyes blazing defiance and her lips trembling with anger. Dr. Bowers had been called to refute defense alienists who expressed the opinion Mrs. Judd suffered from dementia praecox, and was insane when she assertedly killed the two girls. Dr. Bowers said he believed she W'as sane and was relating a visit to her cell w-hen he mentioned Halloran’s name.

Ray Borrow, ilßo Madeira street, falsely played the role of father to two children, but not for long, he admitted Tuesday to Joseph Markey, municipal judge pro tern. Borrow was haled into court on a petit larceny charge for alleged theft of coal last week. Markey heard evidence in the case and indicated he would free Borrow when the latter testified he is the father of two small children.

Markey fined him $2 and costs. TRANSFER OF MANN APPEAL IS SOUGHT Wilhelm Says He Can Not Secure Fair Trial in Marion County. Alleging he could not receive a “fair and impartial trial” in Marion county, Gilbert S. Wilhelm today filed a motion to transfer the circiut court appeal trial in the case of Charles W. Mann, county highway superintendent, to an adjoining county.

TWO FROZEN IN DLIZZARD ATOP MOUNTAIN PEAK Half-Dead Youth Reaches Safety, Tells of Pals 'Left on Trail. By United Prtti FABYAN, N. H„ Feb. 3—A blizzard swept Mount Washington, took two lives and almost a third, one frozen survivor who stumbled into the United States forest service station told men planning a desperate rescue attempt today. The two were abandoned, apparently dead on the mountainside, Donald Higgins, 23, of Winchester, Mass., said. His companions, he said, were Ernest McAdams of Stoneham, Mass., Tufts college student, and Joseph Chadwick of Woburn, Mass. He told a thrilling story of their trip to the mountain peak Sunday, the blizzard that caught them, and their battle with cold’s slow death in an attempt to descend the mountainside. "We made it as far as Jacob’s Ladder,” said Higgins. "Chadwick couldn’t stand it. We didn’t have enough strength left to carry him any further. He just crumpled up and fell into the snow. "McAdams and I struggled on. "Then McAdams seemed to stumble and wobble. I felt him slipping away from me. He fell in the snow. I tried to get him up, but it was too much for me. I tried to keep on going alone.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Half the Homes in U. S. Below Standard for Health , Comfort

Thi* is thf second of a series of six articles on hoasinr conditions in this ronntrv. This material is published by permission of Fortune Macaiine. IN Tuesday's installment it was seen that America is not one glittering picture of' plumbing ads, but that less than one-half the homes in America measure up to the* minimum standard of health and decency. Such a statement requires definition, and proof. The first is simple: A minimum standard of health and decency is one below which no American family should be expected to fall. It therefore will include neither a telephone nor central lighting (services generally listed among the quashi-necessities of modern life) nor central heat nor even a bathtub. But it w’ill include healthful surroundings for the building; ample and pure running water inside the house; a modern sanitary water-closet for exclusive use of the fahiily and located in the house; enough rooms and large enough rooms to give the family necessary privacy; sunlight and ventilation and dry walls; adequate garbage removal; adequate fire protection; a location within reach of work; a cost not to exceed 20 per cent of family income. ts K THE man who believes these are excessive requirements for protection of health and decency of an American family undertakes a heavy burden of proof. Most honest men will accept them and wonder how on earth such standard can exclude any measurable proportion of American homes. For the belief in the fundamental

excellence of living conditions in America is one of the deepest prejudices of the American mind. We read Dickens’ description of the London slums of his day with a complacent eye. Certainly it is nothing to us that Bill Sikes, hiding after the murder of Nancy, saw from his broken window "crazy wooden galleries common to the backs of half a dozen houses, with holes from which to look upon the slime beneath; window’s broken and patched, with poles thrust out on which to dry the linen that is never there; rooms so small, so filthy, so confined, that the air would seem too tainted even for ttife dirt and squalor which they shelter; dirt besmeared walls and decaying foundations; every repulsive lineament of poverty, every loathsome indication of filth.” one ALL this was in another country and another time. What has Folly Ditch to do with us? Even if we read (as w’ho does now?) the American Notes with their revolting descriptions cf the Five Points district of New York in 1842, we are little moved. After all, it is Dickens writing. The w’hole thing must be changed by now. It is changed—but not in America. In the years since the war, England, Germany, and other countries in the north of Europe, and even Italy and France, have taken definite public steps to eradicate the slum. But America and the great cities of America have done, in comparison, nothing. . In the opinion of Lawrence Veiller, secretary, of the New' York state

tenement house commission in 1900 and since 1910 the secretary and director of the National Housing Association, certain American cities "have the worst slums in the civilized world; this is notably so of New York and of some parts of Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Cleveland and other cities. nun VEILLER points out that we have all the kinds of slums they have elsewhere. And we have also added certain specatcular improvements of our own, such as the unholy mixing of races, the overcrowding of the land, and the construction of tall tenements which shut off the sun and the air. "We have houses that are old, dilapidated and run down, damp, in bad repair, infested with vermin,” he repeats, "without the essential convenience of living, without water supply in the rooms, without sanitary facilities, with privies in the yard, and in addition to all these conditions that are found in the old-world cities, we have conditions of land overcrowding, high buildings and lack of light and air that are quite unknown in Europe and Asia, in fact, in any part of the civilized world.” Barry Parker. English architect of the tw’o most important model towns of England, told a New York conference that though he had seen the slums of South America and of all the great European cities, he had nowhere found condition.' which were not preferable to tenement conditions in the city of New York.

INDIAN HAD TO ASK ‘MAMMA’ TO MAKE TOUR Navajos and Pueblos Show Art and Work in City This Week. Farents of modern children, who, instead of bossing their offsp-ing, arc ordered around by the children, should take a few pointers from the Navajo and Pueblo Indians of Arizona and New Mexico. Fat Boy, 50-year-old Navajo tand painter, leader of a group of Navajos and Pueblos demonstrating Indian crafts at L. S. Ayres & Cos. this week, had to ask his mother for permission to come east, according to Wick Miller, New Mexican Indian trader, who brought the group here. In the twenty-four years he spent among the Indians, Miller, formerly of Worthington, Ind., said he never had seen an Indian child chastised. "These Indians are taught obedience and reverence for their elders from childhood,” he explained. A display of baskets, pottery, blankets, beads and silver jewelry is at the store all week, in connection with the demonstration of manufacture of these articles by the Indian group, using primitive methods. "The Indians of Arizona and New Mexico still are living in a primitive state,” Miller said. "Asa result, they have been affected less

by the depresson, perhaps, than any other group in the country. “Money means nothing to them. They depend on barter and trade, the only depression they feel being failure of a crop, or a drought killing off the grass on which their sheep feed. They have not been spoiled by an unearned income, as have the Oklahoma Indians, with their oil wealth.” After arriving here Sunday, three of the group, Fat Boy, Grey Man and Smill Bird, took their first airplane rides, being piloted by Howard H. Maxwell of the Central Aeronautical Corporation, at Municipal airport. Several of the group tasted Ice cream and strawberries for the first time after arriving here.
