BOATS SPEED
To FLOOD
VICTIMS
7 Levee Breaks Flood 200
Miles of Mississippi Land;
Rail Line Submerged

CHARLESTON, Miss, Jan.
Is IN.S. "a fleet of mo-
torboats was rushing today to
TipDo Basin to rescue families
trapped in their homes by
flood waters.
Some 1000 inhabitants of
the region were marooned and
left in desperate straits by
the sudden convergence of
two giant walls of water dash
ing over the delta country
side from gaps in the Talla-
hatchee River levee system.
The angry waters submerged
the rails Of the Zazoo and Miss
issippi Valley railroad, cutting
off the principal means of COM
munication with the outside
world.
,---...-a- Not Enough ROats~-.--a-1~..-.
The only means of escape from
the flood-ravaged Tippo Basin to-
day was by boat, but there were
not sufficient vessels to accom-
modate all the imperilled res
identS.
An urgent appeal was sounded
by the Red Cross and flood COM
mission relief workers for more
boats.
The motorboat fleet enroute to
the basin was expected to reach
the stricken territory some time
today, it was announced by the
Red Cross.
Pressing all available boats in
the vicinity into use, relief work
ers have already begun the task
of evacuating residents of the
basin. Hundreds of refugees were
streaming into Charleston.
Depth of 20 Feet
Some 200 square miles of this
rich delta region was under a
blanket of water reaching a
depth of 20 feet in some places.
In many of the deluged towns
and villages families were living
atop their houses, awaiting ar
rival Of rescue boats.
Six Enajor fissures in the Talla-
hatclIee levee sys e m belched
Watery avalancheS while hun
dreds of emergency workers
fought ceaselessly to stem the
onruSh and prevent new breaks

Seven counties were visited by
the flood The worst sufferer
was Tallahatchee county, whose
entire area was submerged.

RUTH JUDD'S
DEFENSE IS
MAPPED
Phoenix MurdereSS Will Revive
Fantastic Incidents of Her
Past to Escape Chair

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 18
(LN.S.).-A strange mother
hood complex may play a part
in the defense of Winnie Ruth
Judd.
This was revealed today on
the eve of her trial here to-
morrow for the "double-trunk
murder" of Hedvig Samuel
son and Agnes Ann Leroi,
whose bodies were shipped in
trunks from Phoenix to Los
Angeles.
Indications that her attorneys
may lay a foundation of a dis
torted mentality upon an incident
which happened during her girl
hood were seen in the dispositions
upon which they intend to base
an insanity defense.
,,za-- Old Story Again ...,
Included among those who
have given their dispositions IN
an attempt to free Mrs. Judd
from the shadow of the gallows
is an uncle, the Rev A. F. Mis-
wonger, 68, of St. FranceSville,
ILL.,, minister of the gospel.
The Rev. Mr.. Niswonger in his
deposition was expected to relate
the time, nine years ago, when
Winnie Ruth, then in her teens,
told a bizarre story of a kidnap-
ing and a false claim to mother
hood.
She had disappeared from her
home in Olney, Ill, and was
found two days later in hay
loft, clad only in nightgown
and a gunny sack.
She told a story of having been
kidnapped by two men, freeing
herself from her abductorS and
wandering to the home of a min
lister in the neighborhood town of
Calhoun, Ill, where she took
refuge in his barn.
Claim UnfOunded
Her claim that she was about
to become a mother was un-
founded.
In her recent memoirs, Mrs.
Judd admitted she was gripped
with an overwhelming desire for
motherhood. She admitted she
had wrongfully accused a young
Besides her uncle, other relatives
from Illinois and Indiana have
come to the aid of Mrs. Judd's
defense
Like Rev. Niswonger their depo-
are expected to show that
she is victim of hereditary
taint.
Just plain folks back in Clark
and Cumberland counties in Illi-
nois, they were expected to de-
scribe Winnie Ruth as a girl of
changing moods, sometimes de-
pressed and at other times in
the throeS of exaltation.
Strain of Insanity
BY the word of these home
folks, all past middle life. Mrs.
Judd's attorneys also expect to
show a strain of insanity in her
family.
Delving into the past. her law
yers expect to show that second
cousin, George Wilson, died in
the state Hospital for the Incura
bly, Insane at BartonVille, Ill.

George S. Lyon, OF toronto, Is
the only other Canadian who ever
before has survived the champion
ship to reach the final round. No
foreigner, except Harold Hilton, 81
years ago, has won the American
amateur title. So a victory by
Somerville today would be a bit
of a shock to American prestige
and yet it is possible that it will
be received in some quarters with
something less than resignation.
Lyon got to the finals in the 1905
championship.
For, after all, the man is well
born, as they say at Piping Rock,
and his home town of London,
Ontario, is honored to know him
as the son of its former mayor;
whereas, Goodman, an eX-caddie.
now sells insurance, travels a bit
informally when funds run low
and simply doesn't wear the right
neckties. So naturally it is all
very painful to have a man like
that playing for the champion,
ship, while more desirable, though
defeated candidates must play the
passive part of spectators.
Those U. s. G. A. Officials
1t is unfair, however, to say
that Goodman has been officially
ignored throughout this tourna-
ment. Nearly every official on
the scene paid him marked atten-
ton yesterday when ne went
down there in the woods at the
thirteenth to play that great shot
against Ouimet. In fact, they
went down there with him in a
