RUTH JUDD TO SPEND LIFE IN INSANE ASYLUM Execution Is Blocked by Decision of Jury After Week-Long Hearing. BY GALE D. WALLACE I nitrd Pre* Stall Correspondent STATE PRISON, FLORENCE, Ariz., April 24.—Winnie Ruth Judd laced a life "term” in Arizona state hospital today by the decree of a jury whose insanity verdict saved her from the gallows. A 9 to 3 vote of the panel of twelve Pinal county railroad hands, homesteaders and merchants, returned at the end of a week-long sanity hearing in superior court, saved off the execution of Mrs. Judd next Friday for the murder of Agnes Ann Lcroi. Instead, Judge C. L. Greene was to sign commitment pacers today which will permit Mrs. Judd's transfer to the state hospital at Phoenix. Execution Forestalled There the fame "blond tigress,” still falling, apparently, to comprehend her last-minute rescue fiom death, will enter a white-lined room In the women's ward tor surveillance by hospital alienists. Although she forestalled execution by the jury’s verdict and the Arizona law forbidding hanging of insane persons, Mrs. Judd thereby did not win freedom. She must remain in the hospital as long as she lives, or until such time as she is determined legally sane. If ever she is found to have regained her mental balance the death sentence automatically becomes effective. Not a quiver of emotion passed Mrs. Judd's fare when she stood in the dusky courtroom Saturday evening and heard the verdict which granted her the alternative of life in an insane asylum to death on the gibbet. No Further Recourse Her husband, Dr. William C. Judd, the only member of her family present, likewise accepted the decision calmly. For a month, Mrs. Judd will be given special treatment at the hospital w'hile psychiatrists determine her mental status. Later she will mingle with the 250 other women patients, possibly performing light tasks. No further efforts in her behalf er. possible, defense attorneys said. She must, by any legal interpretation, spend the rest of her life a prisoner. PRESENTS NEW SONGS Original Compositions to Make Boh at Masonic Minstrel Show. Mrs. Jeannette D.

Powerful ‘House That Morgan Built’ Summoned to Face Searching Congressional Probe on Operation

Stern, Grim Head of Firm Expected to Furnish Fireworks. This i* the concluding story In a <*rie on *he House of Morgan, soon to be the subjec* of senatorial inquiry. BY WILLIS THORNTON NBA Service Writer NEW YORK. April 24.—Every one of the twenty partners in the House of Morgan has been notified to be ready to appear before the senate banking and currency committee's investigation of stock market and security practices, soon to reconvene. The committee, backed by greater authority than ever has been invoked in a similar injuiry, is expected to probe deep into the House of Morgan and similar private banking institutions. This is not a prosecution, but an effort to paint a background on which later may be traced the outlines of the “new deal” in banking. Broad Powers Given Broader powers were granted by the senate without debate when initial questions put to the House of Morgan met a rebuff from John W. Davis, their principal lawyer, once candidate for the presidency of the United States. Davis denied that there was “any disposition to refuse to answer any pertinent inquiries,” but the senate now has decided that it will determine what inquiries are pertinent. The final wording of the securities “Blue Sky” bill, and other bills to regulate, restrict and control banking probably will await the outcome of these hearings. The spectacle of a Morgan on the stand always whets the public imagination. And the present J. P. Morgan has proved in past appearances that he is blunt enough, sharp-witted enough to assure fireworks if he tangles with Ferdinand Pecora, special counsel. Samuel Untermyer may become an assistant counsel. Morgan Flares Up One of those appearances was before the Gaynor committee in an investigation of New York subways. Counsel, evidently elated at the chance to grill a Morgan, had been going at him rather hard. Morgan glared. “I am a proud

gan's real* view, but it has followed him down the years. Twenty years ago the elder J. P. Morgan was put on the stand in the house's Pujo “Money Trust” investigation. That inquiry, aimed at showing that there was a virtual monopoly of money and credit in the hands

Monopoly on Money Held Impossible by J. P. Sr. on Witness Stand. of a few New York bankers, was inspired by another Roosevelt (T. R.) and his campaign against the "malefactors of great wealth.” The elder Morgan disliked the idea of appearance before a congressional cominittee as much as does the son. “I’d rather go to jail than discuss my private affairs,” he said. Enjoys Play of Wit But he did appear, and once on the stand seemed almost to enjoy the play of wit with Untermyer. Morgan took the stand surrounded by eight attorneys, whom he ignored throughout. He denied that there was or could be a monopoly of commercial credit. “You can not make a trust on money,” he said. “There is no way one man can get a monopoly on money?” Untermyer countered. “No. sir; he can not,” affirmed Morgan, “he may have all the money in Christendom, but he can not do it.” Morgan left the stand in the best of humor. Three months later he was dead. Aims at Reforms The Pujo investigation produced few direct reforms. The present inquiry aims definitely to furnish congress with information for banking reform bills. Testimony already before the committee showed that since the war twenty-five billions of worthless or “undesira’ble” securities have been sold in America. Stringent regulation of the issue and sale of securities is likely to result, and the manner of “floating” these issues is one point desired from the House of Morgan. Light is wanted on mergers, stock split-ups. holding companies and interlocking directorates. So the proud House of Morgan is called to help preach what well might prove to be its own funeral sermon.
