 My husband has the keys" she told the baggageman. "-'ll get them and open the trunk for you"
 Mrs Judd was identified as the person who shipped the trunks. Police ordered her arrest at once. It was known she had a return trip ticket to Phoenix and authori- ties thought she would use 1t. In- stead, she disappeared in Los An geles. Her only money was $5 giv- en to her by her brother. McKinnell admitted he went to the Southern Pacific station with Mrs Judd and and added he in- tended to help her dump two trunks in the ocean," He said he left her down town after giving her the money. Having no definite information of her movements, authorities still were inclined to believe Mrs Judd either was in Mexico or en- route there.
