CHURCH GROUPS
VISITS BARRED
AT POOR FARM
Carriers Action Is Branded
as Effort to Cover Up
Conditions.

A group Of church workers, who
for several years have spread cheer
and goodwill among aged, helpless
patients at the Marion county poor
farm, today complained that they
have been barred from the mfr
mary by Superintendent John
Carter.
This was confirmed by the wife
of Byron Carter, the su~perintend-
ent's son, who said that certain
church workers have been requested
not to come here anymore because
they raise such a rumpus."
The workers could design no
motive for Carriers action unless it
was that he was afraid that con-
ditions at the poor farm would be-
come further exposed at this time"
1t is said that Carter, who has
been criticised by a recent grand
jury for his treatment Of inmates,
is seeking reappointment Jan. l..
New Democratic commissioners are
reported to be ~disagreeing on a new
man, who supposedly, was being
groomed for the SUPPLEMENTARY.
II have kept my mouth shut
about poor farm conditions as long
as I am going to-" said Frank Leas
of 253 West F~orty-second street,
butcher and grocer, who has made
weekly visits to the poor farm for
the last four years.
Leas, a member of the Northwood
Christian church, contends that the
order prevents the workers from

MOTHERHOOD
new ANGLE IN
MURDER CASE
Ruth Judd'S Intimation to
Jail Prisoners Seen as
Sympathy Move.

BIZ United Press
LOS ANGELES, oct. 27.-Spirited
bidding by rival newspapers for the
story of Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd
shared interest today with the pos
sibility. that she might become a
mother.
Mrs. Judd intimated the possible
approach of motherhood in CONVEX
sations at the county Jail, where
she is awaiting transfer to Phoenix
and trial on the charge that she
murdered Miss Hedvig Samuelson
and Mrs. Agnes Leroi.
Several confessions Of Mrs.
Judd and her husband, DR.. William
G. Judd, appeared in local news
papers. One paper was in posses
sion of "her own story" which she
dictated, but didn't write, and for
which the paper reputedly paid a
large sum-. Another paper, discred-
iting the first story, was printing
a confession" not paid for, which
it claimed was in her own hand
writing.
Offered High Price
In the same paper the Gown
story Of Mrs. Judd's brother, Bur-
ton j. McKinnell, was running in
installments, while. a rival vas
printing young McKinnell's narra-
tive in the third person, singular.
The loser in the bidding for Mrs.
Judd's "own story" laid siege to the
county Jail hospital Monday night
in a new attempt to buy her life
story. The bidding delegation had
orders to offer Mrs. Judd the biggest
price ever paid to an accused
criminal in Los Angeles for her
"own story" regardless of who wrote
it.
Mrs. Judd's contemplated mother
hood was learned from other in
mates of the Jail hospital.
They might hang a woman in
Arizona" she was quoted as saying,
'but I don't think they'd hang a
mother, do you?"
Death to Be Asked
Authorities said that when she
was a young girl in Illinois, Miss
Judd claimed she was about to be-
come a mother when she really was
not.
They said her hint might be mere
ly an attempt to gain sympathy.
They claimed Mrs. Judd often told
people she was a mother when such
was not the ase.
Lloyd Andrews, county attorney Of
Phoenix, indicated he would have
Mrs. Judd examined as 500 as he
returned her to Phoenix.
Andrews will have charge of the
prosecution. EIe prosecuted Mrs.
Eva Dugan, the only woman ever
hanged in Arizona, and has said he
will ask the death penalty for Mrs.
judd.
It was indicated that the accused
trunk murderess' will have plenty
of financial support, In addition to
the large sum she was reported to
have received for selling her "own
story" to local newspapers, it was
reported that certain Phoenix par
ties" had subscribed $4,000 for her
defense.
Husband Faces Arrest
Meantime, it seemed highly prob
able that Mrs. Judd would be on
her way to Phoenix by Wednesday
night. Governor James Rolph Jr.
was expected to sign extradition
papers for her today.
Police today sought DR.. William
G. Judd, the woman's husband, on a
warrant accusing him of practicing
medicine without a license. 1t was
indicated DR.. Judd would surrender
and post bond of $500.
The charge was brought when it
was learned DR.. Judd treated
patients in an industrial hospital
when he held no California license.
Records showed he was licensed in
Oregon.

that japanese troops were reported

Chinchow, temporary Manchurian

Stimson told the press Japan had

chief of staff were all agreed there
should be no hostilities against
Chinchow. The assurance was ac-
companied by word that military
orders against such an advance had
