Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
TUCKED Inconspicuously down at
the bottom of a column about
the latest Los Angeles murder Is this
little item:
"Slipping through a clouded sky,
the navy dirigible Akron rode into
her home port of Lakehurst, In New
Jersey, today and nosed down to her
mooring mast."
Under that Item Is another to the
effect that the Qoodyear-Zeppeltn
Corporation has begun construction
of a sister ship to the Akron; which
when completed will make three
" Zeppelln-type airships owned by the
V, 8. navy.
ANOTHER mod eat little item In the
papers two or three days ago
Informed us that the Graf Zeppelin.
German built and German owned
lighter than air ship, from which
the Los Angeles and the Akron were
modeled, bad Just completed her
third trip this summer from Germany
to Brazil, carrying passengers and
mall.
The first of these trips was hailed
as quit an event. The second and
third have been accepted as routine.
lJOTB this point : -.
' When an airplane takes off
from one side or the other of the
Atlantic or Pacific and starts across,
we hold our breath until the daring
aviator either gets across. In which
event we oheer loudly, or disappears
tragically from eight, In which event
we shrug our shoulders and say:
Well, there goes another one."
But we have already accepted Zep
pelin crossings as so much a matter
of course that we pay little attention
to them.
nHHE Zeppelin Is Slighter than air
" ship, which means that It rises
In the air exactly as a child's gas
filled toy balloon rises. It Is pro
pelled by an engine, which makes It
possible to steer It, where a balloon
without an engine CANT be steered.
If the engine stops, the Zeppelin
stays up In the air because It la
lighter than air.
rjnHE airplane Is heavier than air,
" and rises because It la .PULL
ED UP by Its engine. If the engine
stops, the airplane has to come down.
It can stay In the air only as long
as It Is pulled rapidly forward by Its
engine.
'
QAFETY, at present, is the limiting
factor In navigation of the air,
and the fact that the Zeppelin can
stay up even though Its engines stop
gives It a certain measure of safety
that the airplane does not possess.
In the German ships of this type,
however, this safety factor Is offset
by the danger of fire, the great bal
loon being filled with hydrogen gas,
which Is highly Inflammable.
Only American Zeppelins are free
from the menace of fire, because they
are filled with helium, a non-inflammable
gas that so far has been found
only In this country.
1TTILL the Zeppelin provide the
" safety that the airplane still
lacks? That Is a question that can
not yet be answered. Of all the Zep
pelins so far built, only the German
Graf and the American Los Angeles
and Akron still remain In service. All
the others have crashed or burned
tip or both.
ANHANDLERS, In these days, are
a common pest, taking the place,
on the city streets, of the hitch-hikers
out on the highways.
Most people would rather make a
small contribution to the panhandler
than to refuse, but are restrained, in
most cases, by the fear that the so-

gaining. It drew up within a few
feet of the boat when a knife har
poon, hurled by Joe Lessard, stop

A moment later It rose almost on
Its tall and then plunged to the bot
tom. The harpoons came out.

which gave the democrats 214 seats;

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 34 (AP)
Further Involving a wealthy Phoenix,
Ariz., business man whom Mrs. Win
nie Kuth Jutld angrily charged
"knew all about" the dual trunk
murder of her friends, a ten page
letter In which the writer admitted
the killings because of a quarrel over
a man was turned over to police late
today.
Police expert who examined the
letter aald the handwriting waa Iden
tical with samples of that of Mrs.
Judd who waa arrested here last night
and charged with slaying Mrs. Agnes
Le Rio and Miss Hedvlg Samuelson.
The quarrel about a man, the
watersoaked letter aald, and the fact
that Mrs. Judd had Introduced an
other woman to him, caused Mra.
Judd to shoot and kill Miss Samuel
son. Then, the letter declared, aho
killed Mra. LeRlo "because I waa
afraid ahe would turn me over to the
police."
"It waa horrible, packing those
things," the letter said. "Aa I did
It I kept anylng 'I've got to, got to, or
I'll be hung. I've got to.' It waa
worse than the war. The police will
hang me."
The letter waa found soon after
J. H. Halloran, Phoenix lumberman,
had been brought prominently Into
the case for the second time by Mrs.
Judd'a statement In the county Jail
that "he knowa-all about It."
At Phoenix, Halloran, found on a
golf course, was summoned to the
county attorney's office for question
ing. Halloran, early In the week was
questioned regarding a party preced.
Ing the shooting, at which authorities
claim he aroused Mrs. Judd'a anger
by attentions to Miss Samuelson and
Mrs. LeRoi.
Mrs. Judd refused to say what Hal
loran knew.
Deciphering of the letter, retrloved
as almost a pulp by police from the
plumbing In the restroom, waa a
delicate and laborious task.
It was addressed to Mrs. Judd'a
husband, Dr. W. O. Judd of Santa
Monica, aa "precious husband, Dr,
Judd."
It tended to place the time of the
killing as last Saturday morning, oc
tober 17, Instead of the previous eve
ning as originally conjectured.
Mm. Judd denied writing the letter
or attempting to destroy one.
The letter waa found aa defense
and prosecution prepared for legal
struggle over the determination of
Arizona authorities to remove Mrs.
Judd speedily to Phoenix.
In addition to the letter to Dr.
Judd, the police recovered a brief
note to a Los Angeles physics ask
lng that he deliver the first message
to Dr, Judd. The note waa signed
with Mrs. Judd'a name, followed by
Dr. Judd'a Santa Monica address.
Jealously, quarrels, threats and in
trigue, all about a Phoenix man
whose name authorities refused to
divulge, wore revealed In the letter.
The writer said that on Friday
night, October 16, ahe, Miss Samuel
son, Mrs. LeRol and Evelyn Nace, a
nurse at the Orunow cllnlo where
Mrs. Judd also was employed, had
planned to play bridge,
It had previously been determined
that Miss Nace visited the Samuel-
son-LeRol home Friday night. The
letter Indicates that ahe left early.
Mrs, Judd apparently arriving after
she bad gone.
"I atayed all night," the letter aald.
"The next morning all three of us
were yet In pajamas when the quarrel
began, I was going hunting. They
said If I did they would tell Mr.
I had Introduced him to a nurse who
was ill."
The letter then charged that Mrs.
LeRol threatened Mra. Judd.
"Ann," It read, "said before Sammy
got the gun, 'Ruth, I could kill you
for Introducing that girl, and If you
go hunting I will tell them and they
won't think you are so darn nice any

Thirty mlnutea later he walked out

States marshal holding to each of

In that brief half hour, he heard
,hla attorneys refused a writ which
would have quashed the income tax
Indictments against him and thrown
out his conviction. Then he stood,
handa clenched behind him, and
heard sentence pronounced.
The 200-pound gang chief made

Government attorneys and Chicago
ctvlo officials were Jubilant over the

torneye had little to aay except that
they were "not through yet." After
his first outbursts of rage, Capone
sottled down In hla Jail cell and
said:
"It waa a bit below the belt, but
If we have to do It, we can do It.
I've never heard of anyone getlng
more than five yeara for Income tax

Capone be taken tonight to Leav
enworth to begin serving hla sen
tence. Two hours after court ad
journed, however, the court Issued
an order that Capone be held In the
county Jail until Monday, so his
attorneys could have time to file a

court of appeals.
If granted, the writ would admit
Capone to ball while ;h!a conviction
and aentence more than twice aa
severe as any other pronounced In
the gangster-Income tax cases were

charging evasion of Income taxes and
one year each In the county Jail
on two misdemeanor counts charging
failure to file tax reports. Two of
the felony and both the misdemeanor
sentences wlli run concurrently,

Assistant United States Attorney

The amount of Income tax which
