BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ARIZONA STATE PRISON Florence,
Ariz., February 25-Sentenced to hang
May II, Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, con-
victed trunk" murderess, today occu-
pied a cell in condemned row, hopeful
her attorneys may yet save her from
the gallows.
Mrs. Judd was brought to the State
prison from Phoenix late last night,
having left Phoenix a few hours after
Superior Judge Howard c. Speakman
denied her a new trial and sentenced
her to death.
Although the execution date was set
for May II. State authorities said it
was not likely she would be hanged for
at least Is months.
Appeal Mandatory.
Under Arizona law an appeal to the
State Supreme Court is mandatory in
all cases where the death penalty is
set. If the defense does not make an
appeal the State must ask for review
of the evidence. Because this appeal
must be made the execution cannot
take place for more than a year.
Sheriff J. r. McFadden, who accom-
panied Mrs. Judd to the prison from
Phoenix, said the convicted woman was
in very jovial spirits" on the trip,
singing several Spanish songs. Mrs.
Judd learned Spanish while living In
Mexico several years ago.
McFadden said he questioned Mrs.
Judd during the automobile trip about
details of the killings of Mrs. Agnes
Anne LIE Roi and Miss Hedvig Samde4-
son. but that she declined to answer
most of his questions.
Says There Was Alcomplice.
In answer to the query Did you have
an acomplice?" the sheriff said Mrs.
Judd replied, "Yes, 1 had an acom-
plice." She refused, however, to name
her purported accomplice. In court yes
terday, when she was sentenced, Mrs:
Judd denied authorship of letter said
by her husband. DR.. William c. Judd,
to have been written by her, in which
an alleged acomplice was named.
When she was placed in her cell Mrs.
Judd shuddered and remarked, Il Wis
tied a lot of dark caves when 1 lived
in Mexico and wasn't afraid, but this
dark place scares me to death"
The condemned row is lighted by
three dim bulbs 1t has been occupied
by only one other woman in the his
tory of the State, Eva Dugan, who was
hanged here in 1880 for the murder OF
reculse near Tucson.
Mrs. Judd will be prisoner No. 8,8ll.
