RUTH CONFESSES REPACKING OF TRUNK VICTIMS Phoenix, Ariz, Jan. 21 VP Coun sel for John J. Halloran, obtained from Winnie Ruth Judd today for the first time an admission that she herself repacked the body of Hed vlg Samuelson in a small trunk and othsr luggage in Mrs. Judd's own home two days after the slaying of Miss Samuelson and Agnes Anne Phoenix, Aril., Jan. 21 VPt Coun. sel for John J, Halloran moved to day after the state had closed Its case against the lumberman who is charged as "accessory to the crime of murder" to reopen the proceed ings on grounds of new evidence "impeaching" Winnie Ruth Judd's story. Mrs. Judd, who has been the state's chief accusing witness against Halloran, Is sentenced to be hang ed February 17 for the murder of Agnes Anne Leroi October 16, 1931. Halloran is charged with aiding her in disposing of Mrs. Leroi's body and advising her to conceal the slaying and to escape to Los Angeles. Frank O. Smith, of Halloran counsel, told the court "we are prepared to prove that on October 25tn, 26th and zrtn, mi, Winnie Ruth Judd published in the Los Angeles Times of Los Angeles, can fomia, her confession," and that the confession so published "is a complete refutation of all charges against John J. Halloran." Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 21 UP) Dis regarding his order that he wished only to hear state's evidence that there was a murder committed by Winnie Ruth Judd, Judge J, O. Nlles, conducting the preliminary hearing of J. J. Halloran, accused as an accessory after murder, permit ted the defense today to make an attempt to impeach Mrs. Judd s tes timony. Mrs. Judd, the state's most im portant witness against Halloran, claimed the wealthy lumberman aided her in disposing of tlio body of Mrs. Agnes LeRol alter Mrs. Le- Rol and Miss Hedvlg Samuelson were 6hot to death. Mrs. Judd claimed she shot in self defense. As in her past appearances on the stand, Mrs. juaa immeaiateiy pre cipitated a turmoil. "Did you write the foUowing statement," Smith said and then read the newspaper article about her having no accomplice. "Why during that time" she started to answer. "Answer 'yes' or 'no'" Smith de manded heatedly. ' "Please answer 'yes" or "no", Judge Niles pleaded. Mrs. Judd looked from Smith to Judge Nlles and then replied: "I can't say, because at that time I was delerious " "We ore not going to stand for this," Smith stormed. "The question has been answer ed," the court ruled with exaspera tion, "she savs she doesn't know." An attempt to have her identify her own signature brought similar evasive answers and no definite re sult. The most she would say was that "it looks similar to my hand writing."

The fire started in the film rooms of the Kennell ee Ellis photo stu dio, occuping a large suite of rooms in the northwest section of the fourth floor. Some occupants of tne bunding said there was consid erable delay in getting an alarm to tne lire department and tnat the flames had reached considerable proportions before the fire trucks arrived.

The fire department brought into service tne big ladder truck and thrust a ladder from the truck into one of the fourth story windows at tne center or tne lire.

The flames were at no time visible from the street. Smoke, however, was Issuing densely from all win dows on the fourth floor. The smoke, coming from the photo ma terials, was of a partlcularv sick ening odor, was coal black in color ana particularly hard for the fire men to combat, some of them be ing nearly overcome by the gaseous xumes. It was one of the most spectacu lar fires in Salem in some years. Thousands of spectators were at tracted to the vicinity of the fire and city and state police were kept busy to keep the spectators out of the way. Soon after the firemen arrived a big fire hose broke, de luglng tho street with water and causing many spectators to scurry u sneiter.

BEKNHARD Peering through the haze of per sonal animosities and state finan cial arguments between Governor Julius L. Meier and State Treasurer Rut us C. Holm an which complete ly overshadowed legislative activities during the past week, it was reveal ed that only four of the 159 intro duced bills have been completely disposed ol by both houses. On the other hand it was seen that committees are beginning to function regularly and that in start ing the third week the Oregon legis lature win get down to long ses sions where many bills will be con sidered. The bills surveyed do not reier to resolutions or memorials of which there have been scores introduced and many adopted. Only one of the four bills was passed, that providing for expenses of the session. It was also signed by the governor. The house killed another bin which would Impose a tax on foreclosures. One bill each was withdrawn from the house and, senate, both were the first intro duced in both houses. One would have repealed the veterans' indigent fund and the Other providing for a moratorium of two years against mortgage foreclosures. Fourteen of the proposals have been passed in one of the two houses, the house passing five of its 102 measures and the senate nine of its 87. The senate bills were all declared of a minor nature. The house repealed the educational aid fund for ex-service men in one of its favorable actions. While many bills of major nat ure have been lntrtoduced, the lar ger ones still appear in the offing. In the house, among the major pro posals are truck legislation, power development, small loan interest re ductions, several league of Oregon cities proposals, delinquent tax pro posals, consolidation of county gov ernments, and salary reducing bills. In the senate, the utility seven- point program, and the bill to reduce legal rates of interest are among the major issues to date. Elimina tion of the budget department, the gin marriage provision, $5 automo bile license fee, unemployment pro posals and prohibition repeal are also of major importance in the senate.
