the suitcase and its gruesome load,
police charged.
Again she showed her ingenuity
and courage when she called to
claim the trunks and was advised
by a baggage master, who had noted
blood Seeping from one trunk, that
she could not have them unless she
first opened them for his inspection.
MY husband has the keys" she
told the baggageman. I'll get them
and open the trunk for you"
Her failure to return with the
keys, and the discovery of a strong
odor about the trunks led the bag
gageman to call police. Meantime,
the suitcase was left in a women'S
restroom. Police opened the three
pieces of luggage to reveal the dead
women.
Mrs. Judd was identified as the
person who shipped the trunks and
police ordered her arrest at once.
1t was known she had a return
trip ticket to Phoenix and author
tiles thought she would use it. In
stead, she disappeared in Los An
geles. Her only money was SIS given
to her by her brother.
McKinnell admitted he went to
the Southern Pacific station with
Mrs. Judd and added he intended
to help her dump two trunks in the
ocean,"
He said he left her downtown
after giving her the money.

Lest We

DARIs, Oct. 22.-Seventeen
L years ago today the first
Americans in the World war came
under fire.
Today there was a celebration
of the anniversary at Verzenay,
village in the vineyards of the
Marine. The village has risen anew
from it's ruins, but forty of the
fifty Americans who received
their baptism of fire there on
Oct. %, 1914, gave up their lives
before the armistice.
The Americans who survived
the four years of war are prepar-
ing to erect a memorial fountain,
to commemorate the sacrifice of
those who did not.
1t was at Verzenay that the
idea of the Lafayette Escadrille
was born. German airplanes
sailed overhead despite rifle fire.
William Thaw of Pittsburgh, a
licensed pilot in France and
America and the only f1ier in
the legion, suggested that the
Americans in the organization
learn to fly and go up after the
Germans.
A year later the Lafayette
Escadrille was in existence. ThaW
was one of its first four members.
Fourteen Americans at Yer
zenay learned to fly and joined
the Escadrille. Most are now
dead. Among them we're victor

onel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh
returned from the Orient on the
liner President Jefferson today and
then took off at $50 a. m. in a
Lockheed airplane on a two-stop
flight to New Jersey.
The Lindberghs, their oriental tour
| interrupted by the death Of Dwight
Morrow, Mrs. Lindbergh'S father,
were so eager to avoid delay that
they left despite the probability that
they would fly into the worst storm
of the season.
Their first stop was to have been
Boise, Ida, and the next at Omaha,
where they expected to spend the
night. An unscheduled landing was
made at Seattle at 7:08 a. m. After
24-minute stop there, they de-
parted for Boise.
Heavy Gale Blowing
The weather was the worst the
Pacific northwest had experienced
this year, with gales blowing up to
sixty miles an hour at times and
heavy rain and low clouds. The
flight "over the hump" of the Cas-
cade range, which would have
stopped many a f1ier, apparently
did not cause Lindbergh concern.
Almost unseen except by news
paper and camera men and a few
officials, the Lindberghs slipped into
Victoria aboard the liner President
Jefferson shortly after a. m, two
hours earlier than expected.
Their wishes for privacy were re-
spected by Canadian and ship line
officials. AS they stepped from the
boat, they faced a battery of camera

seeking her on the charge that she
murdered two women friends, Mrs.
Winnie Ruth Judd, q, "the blonde
without a nerve" still was at large
today.
Authorities admitted they we're
baffied and had no idea of the
whereabouts of the woman they
claimed killed Miss Hedvig Samuel
son and Mrs. Agnes Leroi in Phoenix
and shipped their bodies here in
trunks, in a bold attempt to dispose
of them.
The knowledge that three nights
and two days of police work was
without result led officials to re-
adjust their estimate of Mrs. Judd
and to refer to her as a clever, in
genious woman with no nerves. D.
Fugitive Is Clever
Aware that she was slight, in i'll
health and almost penniless, officers
promised her early arrest when she
first was accused of the Sayings
Monday night.
But after tracing down every tip
and clew turned up in the two
states, peace officers agreed today
with Mrs. Judd's brother, B. j. Nc

said, land she has more nerve and
self-control than any woman 1

now she could look him straight in
the eye and not give anything

These characteristics, it was ad-
nitted, were evident in every de-
velopment.
Having shot Miss SamuelSon and
Mrs. Leroi, the slayer, said by po-
lice to be Mrs. Judd, attempted first
TO have their bodies removed from
their apartment to the railroad sta
ton in one trunk.
Woman without Nerves
According to police reconstruc-
ton of the crime, Mrs. Judd, when
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 removed to her own apart
