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." BANK CLOSE

Continuation of
OREGON BLOCK FIRE
(from prise one)
building.
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.
An explosion that shot a flame
above the top of the building was
said to have started the fire. The
studio's loss was said to be heavy.
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. At first an
attempt was made to quench the
fire by use of the chemical equip
ment alone, but this was unavailing,
and soon four or five pumpers were
in service.
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

4 OUT OF 159
BILLS ACTED ON
BY LEGISLATURE
By CLAYTON V. 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.

FEDERAL LAND
BANK ATTACKED
Washington, Jan. 21 WT Citing
criticisms of the federal land banks
on the ground they have been un
duly harsh in their treatment ol
farm borrowers, Senator Walsh,
democrat, Montana, told the sen
ate today that "obviously this
merits the attention of congress."
Senator Walsh made the state
ment as he placed in the congres
sional record a letter from a law
yer constituent complaining of the
Spokane land bank, and asking a
congressional investigation of the
federal land banks.
The Montana senator commented
there have been other complaints
of the same character.
The letter was from H. Leonard
De Kalb, attorney of Lewis ton,
Mont.
"Our federal land bank has woe
fully fallen down as an aid to our
farmers and has indeed become s
oonsldcrable factor in their de
struction," it said. "Many lore
closures, in fact, most of them,
could have been avoided."
De Kalb added that it was the
policy of the bank in foreclosing to
obtain "deficiency judgment" and
added that he had been informed
"it has been viciously stated by re
sponsible men in the bank that
this Is done tor the purpose of mak
ing an example of the farmer."
"Their field agents are particul
arly vicious," the letter said.
ATTEMPT TO SAVE
SHIP ABANDONED
Eureka, Calif. Jan. 21 (TV-At the
mercy of pounding waves, the lum
ber schooner Tiverton, aground
near Humbolt bar, rocked 250 feet
off shore today after salvage efforts
were abandoned by coast guards
and the crew.
Captain Adolph Ahlin, veteran of
the North Pacific, who was the last
to leave his ship after she struck
early yesterday morning, secured
hto first rest in 36 hours here last
night. All day yesterday he directed
salvage efforts.
Coast guards, who pulled captain
Ahlln and the 16 members of his
crew ashore in a breeches buoy,
reported more than six feet of wa
ter was in the engine room of the
doomed vessel.
The Tiverton, a 336-ton wooden
ship, was valued by the owners, the
Christcnson-Hammond line, at $15,
000. The cargo of merchandise, be
ing brought from San Francisco to
Eureka, was estimated at approxi
mately 130 tons.
Coast guards said the fact the
pilot light on the South Jetty at the
entrance to the harbor was out
probably confused the skipper of the
craft as he sought to guide it Into
port.
