My sister is clever" McKinnell
said, "and she has more nerve and
self control than any woman l
know. If she met a policeman right
now she could look him straight in
the eye and not give anything
away"
These characteristics, it was ad-
mitted, were evident in every de-
yelopment.
Having shot Miss Samuelson and
Mrs. Leroi the slayer, said by police
to be Mrs. Judd, attempted to have
their bodies removed from their
apartment to the railroad station
in one trunk.
According to police reconstruction
of the crime, Mrs. Judd, advised
that there would be an overcharge
for the weight of the trunk and
fearful that this might in some way
lead to detection, had the trunk re-
moved to her own apartment, where
the body of Miss Samuelson was dis
Sected.
Watching Border
The body of Mrs. Leroi and the
lower part of the legs of Miss Sam
uelson then were placed in one
trunk. suitcase was used for the
portion of Miss Samuelson's body
from the knees to the abdomen, and

Having no definite information of
her movements, authorities still
were inclined to believe Mrs. Judd

Supporting such a contention was
the fact that Mrs. Judd previously
visited in Mexico and spoke Span
ish Such a one might easily hide
out across the border, police ad-
mitted.
On the chance that she still might
be in Los Angeles the search went
on locally and all planes, trains and
highways were checked constantly.
| Although authorities believe she
is still alive, both her husband, DR..
William c. Judd, and her brother
said they were convinced her body
would be found in the ocean.
Almost as puzzling as her where
abouts was the motive for the mur :
ders. Phoenix authorities insisted
that jealousy was the cause.
The theory, not completely de-
veloped, was based on the knowledge
that Mrs. Judd quarrelled recently
with the pair and left the apart
ment which the three shared. Let
ters written by the trio and obser-
vations by friends also supported
this contention.
