JURY'S VERDICT
DECLARES JUDD
WOMAN GUILTY
Penalty Of Death Will Be
Imposed By Arizona
Upon Double Slayer.
BY GEORGE ii. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 9.-Winnie
Ruth Judd, 27, today faced a
mandatory penalty of death by
hanging upon her conviction last
night of the first degree murder
of Agnes Anne LIE Roi.
Barring a successful appeal, the
frail, attractive minister's. daughter
will become the second woman to
die on Arizona's gallows.
A jury of IL men convicted Mrs.
Judd of the murder of her former
friend and fellow nurse after less
than three hours deliberation
without considering the insanity
plea advanced in behalf of the
blonde defendant.
Mrs. Judd received the verdict
without sign of emotion. A spe-
cial guard was posted at her cell
in fear the woman's unnatural
calm bespoke a possible suicide at
tempt.
Superior Judge Howard Speak
man will pronounce sentence Feb
ruary % and at that time set the
execution date. Defense attorneys
announced they would move for a
new trial and failing that appeal
the case to the state supreme court.
The verdict ended one of the
vests most sensational murder
trials.
Mrs. Judd seemed the calmest
person in the courtroom as the
verdict was read. She stifled q
yawn as the jury foreman passed
the written decision to the judge
who passed it to the clerk to read.
She nervouSly twisted her hand
kerchief and glanced sharply
about the courtroom when it was
announced she was to be hanged.
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.
Mrs. Judd wore the same dark
blue dress she had on during al
most all court sessions. A string
of imitation pearls was around her
neck.
Fear Suicide
AS she walked through the cor
ridors to return to her cell she
talked quietly with the matron and
Sheriff j. r. McFadden.
"She said goodbye to us so
casually I was worried" McFadden
said. Il talked to Judge Speakman
and we decided to place a special
guard over her, at least tempo
rarily"
Her husband was much more
nervous than Mrs. Judd. He acted
like broken man.
What can say?" he asked
when questioned as to his opinion
OF the verdict. He held his hands
out hopelessly.
The courtroom crowd was small.
The verdict had not been expected
before sometime tomorrow.
Most spectators were impressed
by Mrs. Judd's apparent indiffer-
ence and surprised by the verdict.
1t was pointed out Arizonas pre-
viouS experience in hanging a
woman had not been pleasant. 1t
had been believed this might in
fluence the jury
Mrs. Eva Dugan, only other
woman sentenced to hang in Ari-
zona was decapitated when she

new SPECIES OF
INSANITY TO BE-
MADE DEFENSE
BY DAN CAMPBELL

HONOLULU, Feb.9 - An Ameri-
can society matron, her navy officer
son-in-laW and two enlisted men,
alleged honor slayers" of a Ha-
waiian youth, will answer the charge
with a defense of alarm clock" in
sanity, the United Press learned
from an authoritative source today.
Alarm clock insanity is the legal
Interpretation of the So-called "un-
written law. One legal expert of
the territory explained that per-
sons normal under all other cir
cumstances and at all other hours
of the figurative alarm clock" i'm
mediately become violently insane
when the deadline hour of their
emotions is sounded by the alarm.
This figurative alarm clock might
possibly be set off by the slightest
word or gesture. after which the
person subject to such type of in
sanity becomes violent and vents
his emotions without restrain or
thoughts of consequences, as a nor
NAL person in sound sleep might
and sometimes does react to an
alarm clock summoning him from
slumber.
Alienists, it is expected, will play
prominent part in the trial of
the four on second degree murder
charges, now tentatively set for
March 10. They will explain in
detail the symptoms of this brain
disease and the possible bearing it
would have in a series of events
such as affected the Massie and
Fortescue families, it was under
stood.

SHANGHAI, Feb. 9.-The spirit
of sacrifice which has been stimu-
lating American and other foreign
women in Shanghai for the past
fortnight is wearing a bit thin, and
some women are getting bored.
Some see their husbands a few
minutes daily. One appears daily
at settlement boundaries in evening
dress and chats with guards. Nuns
were too busy to notice shell fire.
When war clouds gathered over
Shanghai and the ordinary pleas
ant life of the International Set
tlement, many foreign women vol
unteered. They stood so deep at
service headquarters seeking work
as chauffeurs, stenographerS, tele-
phone operators and nurses.
The women who got the jobs are
sticking to them maniully. But
most of the women here have been
accustomed to lives of leisure.
Servants are plentiful. There is a
continual round of social activities.

LIQUIDATION in
GRAINS AGAIN
DROPS VALUES
Many Factors Combine to
Destroy Confidence;
Support Weak.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 5-Liquidatine
pressure again dropped grain prices
as the Board of Trade opened today
July wheat and corn and December
rye falling to new low levels for the
season and other deliveries of all
grains coming within fractions OF
new lows.
Free offers of new Russian wheat
at Liverpool weakened that market
and the lower stock opening COM
bined to destroy confidence and dis
courage support. All grains were
lower with the absence of support
factor.
At the opening wheat was Il to7s
cent lower, corn was Il to n cent
lower, oats unchanged to Il cent
lower and rye was Il to Is cent
lower. Provisions we're weak.
Foreign markets offered no in
dication of trend over the holiday
Liverpool, at mid-afternoon was *
to is cent under Friday due large
ly to break in Sterling today. Most
points received moderate to heavy
rains since last Friday which furth-
er delayed harvest and possibly
damaged quality in the southwest.
Some sections received excessive
rains in the corn belt although the
crop as whole benefited. Prices
are regarded as being too low in re-
lation to the feed value and hog
prices.
Oats lack interest. The market
follows corn mostly with activity in
the cash market exerting some in
huence from time to time.
