Mrs. Judd Not Flustered as Agent Questions Her
 About Baggage

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 23.-With better color in her face and much more life in her eyes and bearing, Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd seated be- tween her attorneys yesterday af- ternoon listened to the State un- fold it's story of how the bodies of her two victims-Mrs. Agnes Le- Roi and Miss Hedvig Samuelson- were discovered in 8 Los Angeles railroad baggage station.
 Without being visibly affected, she heard State witnesses depict her calm and collected, wholly self possessed and unruffled as she was questioned about the contents of the baggage when she called to take it away from the delivery room.
 Nothing To Conceal
 The prosecution was apparently endeavoring to show her utter unconcern and lack of nervousness from the time she appeared at the Phoenix station Sunday, October IS, 1881 and had her baggage, with its grewsome contents, checked until she walked out of the Los Angeles baggage room ostensibly to locate her husband and obtain the keys to the trunks so that she could open them as requested by railway employees before they would deliver them to her.
 T wonder what in the world 1t can be-" she is said to have re- marked to one of the employees when she admitted she could de- tect an offensive odor emanating from the trunk that contained the body of Mrs. LeRoi.
 My personal belongings and some books it was testified she responded to a query as to the con- tents.
 Over objections from the defense to admission of the trunk that con- tained the body of Mrs. LeRoi, Judge Speakman ordered it marked flor identification and permitted 1t admitted as evidence. Trial of the case was halted Friday morning while counsel on both sides argued the question.
 Saw No Ban6Age
 John Washington, head porter Of the Phoenix union station, identified Mrs. Judd as the woman who ac- companied the Grimms and who had the baggage checked to Los Angeles. She sat in full view of him in the woman's waiting room where she could watch the baggage and conversed with him briefly.
 When she came into the station, he said, she had @ handbag in one hand and a coat thrown over the other. He saw no bandage on either of her hands. He carried a suitcase aboard for her and put it in the chair car where she sat.
 He testified she showed no un- usual emotion, although she seemed to watch the baggage closely, and acted little nervous.
 The train baggageman and mes- senger, H. J. Knight, said he mo- ticed an offensive odor and traced it to the larger trunk from which blood was oozing. On arrival at Los Angeles, he notified A. B. Ander- son, Assistant baggage agent, about the matter.
 Stationmen Give Details
 A. B. Anderson, George Rucker and B. H. Chatters, all employed in the Los Angeles baggage room, gave details of the appearance of Mrs. Judd to claim the baggage. when she was accompanied by her brother. All said the offensive odor had been marked and the leakage of a fluid" from the trunk noted before the woman ar rived at the station.
 MT. Anderson dealt with her. He told her about the odor and the 'fluid' leakage and walked with her to where the baggage was stored. As they neared it, she asked her if she could detect the odor and she replied, NO" Her brother said he could smell 1t. Anderson then took Mrs. Judd closer and she admitted she caught the odor.
