mitted by Mrs. 6. B. Walker.
AS G

The Citizen last Saturday afternoon.
in a special telegram from Las Vegas,
gave some facts of the shooting and
killing Of j. s. Judd in that city by
Mrs. G.. B. Walker, a visitor from
Miles, Iowa. The following facts. pub
lished the day after the tragedy. is
clipped from the Las Vegas Record:
Mrs. G. b. Walker has been charged
with murder in the first degree and
held under a 81 5000 bond to appear at
the preliminary hearing. The bond was
furnished by l.. G. Fort, w. G. Hayden,
Maud G.. Haines, j. N. Furlong, James
A. Dick and j. II. Stearns, and Mrs.
Walker remains in her apartments
over Furlong's photograph gallery,
where she has three rooms and where
she does light housekeeping. Mrs.
over the gallery, and bullets the two
front ooms tc the Misses Halnes for a
musical studio and bed room.
Yesterday, when the killing took
place, the Misses Haipes were away,
Icing ur at the Springs, and there was
no one on the same floor. 1t is sup
posed that Mr.. Judd had co%gnizance of
the fact that the Misses Haines were
away, probably say them at the Mon
tezuma hotel, ard knew that Mrs.
Walker would then be alone.
Yesterday was not the first time
Judd had been at the apartments of
Mrs. Walker. he having been there
several times this week, but during the
visits previous to yesterday Miss
Haines says that she was always in
the o
Miss Haines refused to state wheth-
er Mrs. Walker had ever told her about
Judd's actions toward her, but from
her silence it is naturally presumed
that she had, and the fact that she al
ways remained in the roo during
Judd's calls ~corroborates Mrs. Walk
er's allegation that she feared him.
"Mrs. Walker refused to see a Record
reporter this morning when he called
at her apartments. saying that the
Records report yesterday was quite
correct and embraced all the facts as
they were, SO she had nothing further
to say.
"A couple of kilograms have been
sent to Mr.. Walker, but rs the second
one elected no reply. it is presumed
that he he has left for this city al
ready. in which event he should arrive
here Monday afternoon.
"The coroner and his jury viewed
the remains of Mr.. Judd yesterday eve
ming. about 6 o'clock, and the regular
inquest will be held in Judge Woos
ter's office on Monday afternoon at 4
o'clock, it having been deferred until
that time at the request of Mrs
Walker, so that her husband could be
here with her.
Assistant District Attorney Davis
will prosecute the case and Lawyers
Fort. Long 4 Hayden will act for the
defense.
Mrs. Walker has been here for sew
eral months and at first oomed at
Mrs. Herzog's, later removing to Mrs
Kistler's. The Judds had threee rooms
at Kistler's and sublet n OF them to
Mrs. Walker. some time In January
When Mrs. Kistler was seen by a Rec
ord reporter yesterday evening she
had not heard of the killing and was
perfectly astounded at the news. She
said that Mr.. Judd and Mrs. Walker
seemed tn he friends, but she had
never seen anything of a compromis'
ing or improper nature during their
stay 1T her house. Mrs. Walker left
Kistler's about eight weeks ago, two
weeks before Mr.. and Mrs. Judd did.
Mrs. Walker is a good looking wo'
man, a brunette, slightly under middle
age. has dark eyes and is of an attrac'
tive appearance. No one has been
found who can say q word against her
character or actions during her stay in
our city.
"Mr. Judd was a gray-haired man OF
medium build, 68 years of age. n was
well and favorably known around
town. It seems, though, that his &C
tions lately have led some of those who
knew him we'll to question his sanity
{ as it is known that he mas endeavored
, to criminally assault more tnan n OF
{ the chambermaids at the Montezuma
{ hotel. who have volunteered to appear
as witnesses for the defense at the
proper time. 1t is claimed that, only 9
few days ago, he attempted TO assault
one of the chambermaids in a bee
room at the hotel. having her at his
mercy until her screams caused hin
to desist from his foul purpose.
"Mr. Judd's body will be shipped tC
Topeka, Kan, tonight on the midnigh'
train, and on Tuesday it will be takeI
: for burial to Whitehall, III. Mrs. jude
and son, DIR. N. w. Judd, came dowI
: from Hot Springs today and they vii
accompany the remains east tonight.
! &c. b. Walker is a prosperous lane
; owner at Miles, Iowa. Mrs. Walker
! has one son, about 8 years of age, a
5 home with his father, she having come
out to Las Vegas alone last December
Public sympathy has generally bee
with the woman SO Tar, although toda,
the feeling is that a close investigation
is advisable"
