Strenuous Hunt Throughout west Fails
to Reveal Suspect.
LOS ANGELES. October % LP-
The strenuous police hunt for Winnie
Ruth Judd, wanted for the Phoenix
trunk murders. continued throughout
the West today. but the belief grew that
she either was hiding here or had COM
United suicide.
Although there were reports that per-
sons resembling the hunted woman had
been given rides by motorists near San
Diego and at Central California points
toward Sacramento. officers expressed
the belief she might not have left the
city.
The search was pressed while officers
prepared for an inquest over the bodies
OF the victims, Miss HedVig Samuelson
and Mrs. Agnes LIE Roi, which were
shipped here in trunks claimed by Mrs.
Judd.
Beaches and Hills Searched.
On the theory that Mrs. Judd's body
might be found in some out-of-the-way
place, police looked over the beaches
and hills around Los Angeles. Volun-
iteers peered into deserted cabins and
looked through the brushy underground
in canyons near the city.
Her husband, DR.. w. C. Judd. and
her brother, B. j. McKinnell, both ex-
pressed the belief that she would not
be found alive.
: Many friends of Mrs. Judd were in
terrogated. Guards were placed at
their homes in the hope the fugitive
would seek aid from acquaintance.
Oficers also endeavored to piece to-
gether a plausible motive for the STAY
ings of Mrs. Lc Roi and Hedvig Sam
.uelson, both of whom had been room
mates of Mrs. Judd and her close
friends
Insanity Is Suspected.
"All evidence shows it was a case of
insanity-but there was something that
caused the mind to perform such
CHASTITY crime" said Detective Inspector
D. A. Davidson. indications were
that jealousy furnished the background
for the slayings-but jealousy of what
is still undetermined"
Davidson sad Los Angeles police had
found no direct evidence of unusual
relations between the three women,
other than that they had been excep-
tionally friendly
That Mrs. Judd had been acting
irrationally for some time was disclosed
by her former employers, who said she
had acted "queerly" on numerous oc-
casions.
Davidson said police had wholly
abandoned the theory that Mrs Judd
had a man accomplice. The double
crime was committed Solely by the
woman, he said.
An inquest into the slayings is to
be held here tomorrow. The bodies
later Will be sent to Phoenix, where
another inquest is planned.

DAWN PATROL WILL BE SHOWN
 SUNDAY. NIGHT
Stirring War Picture Will Be Realistic Offering
 at Coliseum Theatre

Camouflaged airplane hangars-a row of Fokkers marked in black and white with the German cross machine guns banked by sacks of sand-observer towers = trenches here and there zigzagging in a maze of barbed-wire.
 These are impressions of the German airdrome used in ''The Dawn Patrol" the First National Vitaphone production starring Rich ard Barthelmess, which comes to the Coliseum theatre tomorrow night
 Mechanics tinkering with motors, crippled wings being patched, ma chine guns being oiled, the hum of lofty planes and the roar of those landing.
 Since the World War the air plane has changed It's a far cry from the wartime craft to Lindy's latest air-cruiser. A former ace stops short, looks at these old wrecks and wonders if he hasn't just awakened from a dream of progress, and isn't now back to 1 reality.
 Lands With Bounce
 One of them comes in, lands with a bounce as in the good old days, making the selfsame old sput- i ter And the very landscape looks like those glades of Picardy.
 The growl of guns greet the sunrise. It is time for observa- tion planes and sausage" balloons to be reporting the enemy's activi- ty. There's an omnibus feeling in the air; general movement on the entire front is about to be- gin. Soon the Dawn Patrol will take off on a mission of death and destruction!
 Verify, here is realism! I And now in the days of sound and dialogue realism is realer than i ever For now the singing of the seventy-fives. the hum of the whiz- bang, the bursting of bombs, the i detonation of super-exploSives-- the cry of wounded men-the com mands of officers-the triumphal shout of the victor-all these are recorded for audiences to see and i hear.

CHICAGO, March 12.-It has
~ been almost a year since the
Chicago crime commission issued its
famous list of twenty eight public
enemies" who were set apart as
the most dangerous enemies to law
and order and a new campaign to
rid the city of them was launched.
If the Chicago police could not
arrest and convict these publ enc
mics on the major charges Of which
most people agreed they were guilty,
then they were to be harassed out
of business on other charges, such
as vagrancy, income tax frauds, de-
portation proceedings, and the like
Now a year has passed, and the
drive has not been without success.
In fact, scarcely a single one Of the
public enemies has escaped I'M
scathed.
Two Slain by Rivals
Two of the twenty-eight, Jack
zuta and Joe Aiello, have gone down
under the bullets of rival gangSters.
Five are behind bars, either serv-
ing sentence or awaiting trial.
One is to be deported.
Five are under sentence to prison,
though free on bail at present.
Seven are at large, but under bond
pending hearings on various
charges, mostly vagrancy.
Warrants have been issued against
six who have not yet been arrested.
Even Al Is Nabbed
And the other two have been ar
rested on vagrancy warrants,
though not convicted.
Even Al Capone, supposed to be
beyond the reach of the law, has
been sentenced to six months for
contempt of a federal court. He
was named in the list as Public
Enemy No. l."
Though he is free on bond pend
ing his appeal, it appears that he
will eventually have to go to jail.
Charges Of evading federal income
taxes, and Of vagrancy, are waiting
for him as soon as the contempt
matter is cleared up.
