Theories of Jealousy,
Intimacies Advanced as Motive For
Slaying of Two Women
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21. Of) Scores of clues flooded police
headquarters today in the search for Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, 26
year old wife of a physician, who fled from a railroad station here
Monday shortly before two trunks were opened, revealing the
bodies of two of her friends, whom she is accused ot killing.

H.
C. Howe Believes Col
ored Star Will Get
Hearing Soon
Joe liillard, colored University of
Orpcon football star, may ypt Kt his
chance in the Faeific Coast confer
ence. Rnmorg to the contrary, TJllnrd
doos not plan to enter the professional
prizefipht rinc nnd he will continue
his studies at the University of Ore
l?on. It in probnhle that his case will
be reopened between now and the first
of the year, and that Lillard may be
reinstated an an amateur player after
the next meeting of the conference
ojnjruls.
Prof. II. C. Howe. Orpjron'a rep
resentative on the Pacific Coast con
ference committee, said Wednesday
that the colored star would probably
get n chance to tell his own story to
the conference heads.
"I believe the committee acted too
hastily in the Lillard case, and that
Joe should he civen an opportunity
to present his own case." Howe said.
"I have talked with him dtirinc the
past few days nm am convinced that
much of the evidence prpsented at the
conferencp meetintr could have bepn
cleared up had Lilian, bpen prpent.
There seems to lw fnrthpr evidence
snnportine the colored boy's claim
that he is innocent of professional
ism, and whilp I can make no definite
statempnt at the present time. I be
lieve that he will tret a chance to
testify in his own behalf."
That Lillard will be able to play
before the end of the present season
seems not probable, but his Orecon
supporters nrp convinced that the col
ored star is innocent of the charues
phicod flatly acainst him by Jonnthan
Butler, coast conference "canr."
The Portland meeting at which Lil
lard was disqualified was a secret
affair, nnd little has been said of tne
evidence presented. It is known,
however, that Lillard was thrown out
on a charce of havino played basebnll

saying tliey had seen a woman re
semblinic Mrs. Judd. Each investiea
tioii, however, went for naught, the
suspects either having disappeared
or proved other identities.
Meanwhile authorities pieced to
gether evidence in the lives of Mrs.
Judd and the slain women, Mrs.
Le Hoi and Miss lledvie Snmuelson
hoping to gain information thafj
wouui nt a motive, un tne tueorics
advanced, three stood out. They are
jealousy, or insanity, or illicit inti
macies. Theories Advanced
One of these, authorities agreed,
probably would explain the tragedy
in which the two women were shot
and killed, the body of one. dismem
bered and the remains of both placed
in trunks and a valise and forwarded
here by train from Phoenix. Arizona,
where the three had been employed
in a medical clinic.
The crimes were discovered by a
railroad agent who saw blood filter
ing through cracks in one of the
trunks. When Mrs. Judd and her
brother, B. J. McKinnell, university
student here, arrived to claim the
baggage, he demanded that she open
the trunks but she fled, pretending
that she did not nave the keys.
The theory of intimacies was
based, almost wholly, on a dairy in
the possession of County Attorney
Lloyd J. Andrews of Phoenix who
flew here to aid in the search.
St ran ae Affection
It told, police said, a story of a
strange affection between the two
victims and a sudden chnnged am
tude and actions of Mrs. Judd, who
once had lived with them.
In a letter written by Dr. W. C
Judd, husband of the alleged slayer,
to her last October 6, police found
another possible theory of a de
ranged mind. In it. he asked her to
try to exert a little self-control.
"I will remind you for one thing
that you wrote me tirst that your
fat her was dvirnr. fntallv in lured,
next that you wanted to bring your
patients out here, next that your
father was on the verge of pneu
monia (which neither you nor any
one else knows to be the case).
. . Ruth, dear, you ask 'why'
must I be away from my parents?
. . Pit tell you why. It is because
you have not wanted to be with
them."
Warned Aoalnst Dope
In an unexplained statement, the
writer takes "blame for the entire
situation during the past year or
more. He advised her he was afraid
"you are in danger of getting your
self into a serious condition. You
want to get hold of yourself." He
referred to a mild narcotic which
shn apparently had been talking and
said "it will knock your nervous
system to a fare-you-well if you
don t cut it out.
The theory of jealousy was based
upon police knowledge that many
similar crimes have been committed
in a storm of temper over the more
fortune circumstances of the victim
A disclosure also was made that
Miss Samuelson, in her diary, had
subscribed to a hedonistic philosophy,
nolice said.
Andrews said today that he had

Plan Vetoed
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. (P) A
slight gain in employment todny
brought fresh encouragement to fed
eral relief officials as they pressed
on with a nation-wide campaign for
funds to nllcviate distress.
Meanwhile, tho unemployment re
lief organization created by Presi
dent Hoover rejected the farm
bonrd's offer to furnish it wheat and
cotton at current quotations. Such
ptirchnses, it wns announced, lie out
side tho group's scope, although in
dependent national and community
relief organizations are free to make
them.
The Increase tn the number of
workers with jobs was reported by
the labor depnrlment a .8 per cent
for September. Payroll totals de
creased 2.8 per cent, a fact which
tho department attributed largely to
n widespread observation of labor
day without nay.
The fnrm board announced on Oc
tober ,1 it was prepnred to authorize
the grain and cotton stabilization
corporations to sell wheat and cot
ton at market prices to appropriate
relief agencies. The purchases could
be mado for cash or on deferred
payments.
