Jurors Take Little Time to
Decide Blonde Is Guilty
of Murder.
BY GEORGE H. BEALE
United Press STAFF Corresnondent

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. Especial
guards were posted today at the
cell of Winnie Ruth Judd, attractive.
frail, 27-year-old Indiana minister's
daughter, who received news of her
conviction on a f1rst-degree murder
charge so calmly that officials
feared she was taking" prelim-
mary to suicide attempt.
The nurse, whose alleged double
murder of her friends startled ma
ton with it's brutality, was convict
ed by jury of twelve men, who
deliberated less than three hours
Monday night without considering
an insanity plea advanced, on her
behalf.
Barring successful appeal, she will
be the second woman to die on
Arizona's gallows, for death by
hanging is mandatory after con-
vitcion on a first degree murder
charge in this state.
Yawns As Verdict Comes
She was convicted of the charge
of numbering Agnes Anne Leroi.
Superior Judge Howard Speak
man will pronounce sentence Feb. %
and at that time set the execution
date. Defense attorneys announced
they would move for new trial
and, failing that, appeal the case to
the state supreme court.
Mrs. Judd stifled yawn as the
foreman of the jury gave the writ
ten decision to the judge, who
passed it to the clerk to be read.
She appeared not to hear the
clerks words and the expression of
her unusually pale face was fixed.
DR.. William G. Judd patted his wife
gently on the shoulder, but she paid
him no heed.
Six Ballots Taken
Although most testimony of the
three-week trial dealt with insan-
ity, G. B. Thompson, jury foreman,
explained this question was not
discussed.
ION the first ballot we decided
she was guilty" he said. ION the
second the vote was ten for the
death penalty and two for life i'm
prisonment. On the sixth ballot
we were unanimous"
T. j. Lassen, juror, told the
United Press that no other finding
was possible.
I'VE made sure this one won't
ever get another chance to KILL" he
stated. There's no use putting
them in asyluns, anyway. Let's
all go home and get some Sleep"
The defense contended Mrs. Judd
was insane when and if she killed

500 yards of the Japanese lines be-
fore sharp counter-fire forced them
to drop back.
The japanese rushed reinforce
ments from Admiral Kichisaburo
Nomurt's flagship Idzumo, lying in
the Whangpoo river.
Their army and marine forces
held their lines under the desper-
ate Chinese rush, but the tide of
battle was in doubt until the REIN
forcementS came into the front line
defenses.
Losses Are Heavy
Heavy losses were reported on
both sides. The Chinese advanced
through the shell holes and black
ened ruins of Chapel, just over the
border of the international settle
ment. Their artillery flung count
less shells into the fringe of the
foreign area. Many landed we'll
within the boundary, during a day
Of renewed terror.
I tried to get an accurate list of
casualties from both sides, but
headquarters refused to give out the
figures. There is no doubt the deao
and wounded ran high, but respon-
sible authorities refused to accept
obviously wild estimates heard on
all sides.
At 7:45 p. M. (5:45 a. m. central
time) the fighting waned on the
Chapel section. 1t ended a day of
the most severe battling in the
fortnight of the fight for Shanghai.
The danger to the International set
Element was feared growing daily.
One foreign woman was wounded
by shrapnel as shells flew thick
over the settlement.
Chinese Stand Firm
The japanese concentrated their
attack earlier in the day at Woo
sung, where thirty-three units of
their fleet gathered to lombard the
forts. The Chinese put up an amaz-
ingly stubborn resistance, and, as
far as could learn tonight, no ma
terial change in the relative posi-
tons had occurred there despite the
heavy Japanese firing and land at
tackS.
The Japanese apparently CONSOLE
dated their positions along Woosung
creek, between the village and the
forts at Woosung, ten miles down
the river from Shanghai proper.
Meanwhile, a momentous confer
ence of Chinese. military and civil
authorities was held in the Offices
of Mayor WI Teh-Chen in the ma
tive area. 1t seems to me they
have decided on a desperate effort
to bring some sepblanace Of unity
out of the chaos in government and
meet the Japanese with a solid
front.

SLASH NAvIES,
ABOLISH WAR
U. 5. PLEA
Elimination of Submarine
Also Asked in Proposal
Offered at Geneva.
BOLD GESTURE MADE
Limitation of Artillery and
Halt on Civilian Bombing
Part of Program.
By United Press

By CutL6U PTeSS
GENEVA, Feb. 9.-The United
States today proposed to the world
further decreases in naval arma-
ment, complete abolition of the
submarine, limitation of heavy mo-
bile artillery and complete rejection
of poison gas and meteorological
warfare.
These were the high points in a
nine-part proposal made before the
world disarmament conference here
by Ambassador Hugh Gibsone one of
the American delegates.
In a bold and dramatic gesture,
the American government suggested
to the other powers scheme OF
disarmament touching virtually
every phase of warfare.
Il. The American government
advocates consideration of the draft
convention as containing the out
lines for a convenient basis for
discussion, while expressing its en-
tire willingness to give full consid-
Grafton to any supplementary pro-
posals calculated to advance the
end we all seek.
Would PrOlOng Naval Pacts
%. We suggest the possibility Of
prolonging the existing naval agree
ments concluded at washington and
London, and we advocate complet-
ing the latter as soon as possible by
adherence of France and Italy.
80. We advocate proportional re-
duction from the figures laid down
in the Washington and London
agreements on naval tonnage as
soon as all parties to the Washing
ton agreement have entered this
framework.
81. We advocate, as we long have
done, the total abolition of subma-
rines.
IS. We will join in formulating
the most effective measures to pro-
tect civilian population against
aerial bombing.
IS. We advocate the total aboli-
ton of letha1 gases and bacteriolog-
ical warfare.
Suggests Cur Restrictions
az. We advocate the computation
of the number of armed forces on
the basis of the electives necessary
for maintenance of internal order
plus some suitable contingent for
defense. The former are obviously
impossible of reduction; the latter
is question OF relatively.
IS. We agree in advocating spe-
cial restrictions for tanks and heavy
mobile guns, in other words, for
those arms Of peculiarly offensive
character.
SO. We are prepared to consider
a limitation of expenditures on ma
terial as a complementary method
to direct limitation. feeling that it
may prove useful to prevent a
qualitative race, if and when
quantitative limitation has been eff
fected."
This sweeping program is not an
American plan," in the sense that
it must be accepted or rejected in
toto. 1t was merely series of sug-
gestions, any or all of which might
be accepted by the other powers.
The United States, of course,
pledged itself in advance to their
acceptance.

XXTHILE civilian casualties run
w into thousands, the Chinese
military casualties to date are about
1000, and the Japanese 1900. This
is due to the fact that the Chinese
were defending and in the first few
days had only one regiment facing
the Japanese landing party.
Despite the Japanese mechanical
superiority in warships, airplanes,
tanks and all kinds Of artillery, the
north station area, which they had
expected to capture within three
hours, still is held after nearly a
fortnight.
The same is true of the Woosung
forts, although it is expected the
great guns will be put out of action
early as result of the intense bonn
bardment by the japanese fleet for
many days.
The stubborn resistance of the
army, still keeping the
Japanese at bay, undoubtedly sur
prlsed everybody. For the first

special attention to the great
world conflict, starting at the
training camps and continuing until
the American flag was planted at
the Rhine in German territory.
Mr. Breslin expressed the hope
that there never will be another
war. but he was doubtful that such
n happy condition will exist dur
ing our lifetime, and for this rea-
son he said 1t would be the part
OF wisdom to be prepared. He de-
plored the fact that the army Is
