THREE ARIZONA
WOMEN TO FACE
DEATH CHARGES
BY GEORGE ID. CRISsEY
United Press Staff Correspondent


PHOENIX. Ariz.. June 4. up
Three Arizona women awaited trial
today on charges of first degree
murder. for which the maximum
penalty, in the event OF conviction,
is death by hanging.
That all defendants are women is
about the only similarity in the
csses. which include a beating, a
shooting and stabbine. Two of
the victims were men. One was
a woman.
Mrs. Jenny Rutledge, 54. is in the
Maricopa County jail at Phoenix
awaiting trial on charge of beat
ing Mrs. Alice Pyle, her 83-year-old
mother, to death. Neighbors tes-
tilted at the preliminary hearing
that the beating climaxed a quarrel
because the aged woman would not
"eat her bread and milk

was ordered held for trial on
charge of shooting her husband.
Thomas K. Marshall, so, as he slept.
Jealousy because of attentions paid
to Mrs. Henrietta Seymour. former
Marshall housekeeper is alleged to
have been the motive.
Due to her age and ill-health,
Mrs. Marshall was released on bail
pending the trial. September IA

War veteran. during a quarrel in
Miss Meals bedroom at a roadhouse
she operated near Prescott.
Although the death penalty is
possible in each case. it is not prob
able IN any, in the opinion of most
observers. Arizona hasn't fully re-
covered yet from a shock following
the execution of Mrs. Eva Dugan
last year. i,
Mrs. Dugan, the only woman ever
hanged in Arizona during its le
years of statehood, was a heavy.
middle-aged widow She was be-
headed by the moose. This grue-
some accident drew protests from
reformers in Arizona and elsewhere.
It is significant that something
has prevented all but one of the
executions scheduled in this state
since the Dugan hanging. Passage
by the legislature this year of a bill
providing for lethal gas executions
reflected the sentiment of the state
at large.
The gas bill was vetoed with pro-
found regret" by Governor George
w. P. Hunt because it repealed a
law voted by the people and was,
unconstitutional.

The mother of a 15-year -old girl
