since she entered the State prison,
said Warden A. G. Walker, announcing
he would take steps today which would
make it mandatory for jury to pass
upon the question.
A verdict Of insanity would prevent
her being hanged April 81 for the muir
der Of Agnes Anne Leroi, as sentenced,
and she would be sent to the State
Hospital for the Insane.
Her attorneys planned simultaneously
to file a petition for writ of habeas
Warden Walker, who yesterday
plsced death watch over Mrs. Judd,
although he permitted her to remain in
a small room In the womeniS ward, said
she had become more nervous as the
dav of her execution neared.
He announced he would advise
County Attorney Will C. Truman he
believed Mrs. Judd had become insane
State law makes it mandatory for the
county attorney then to petition the
Superior Court for a sanity hearing
and the court to summon Q jury Of IL
persons ito hear such inquiry"
All attempts of counsel to obtain
clemency for Mrs. Judd, who was con-
victed In February, 1892, have failed.
These included an appeal to the Ari-
zona Supreme Court and petitions to
the State Board of Pardons and Paroles.
She was, however, granted reprieves
which extended the date originally set
for her execution, February II, 1888,
to April 81.

Urges l5.year-Old
Fir Trees Be Used
For Paper-Making
Washington U. Professor
Proposes to Cut Idle
Time of Forests.
BY HOWARD W. BLAKEsLEE,


SEATTLE, Wash, April IA pro-
posal to cut Is years off the idle time of
Pacific Northwest forests by using fir
trees as soon as they are Is years old
to make white newsprint paper was
made today by H. K. Benson, professor
of chemical engineering of the Uni
versity of Washington.
There are two regions In the United
States where trees grow rapidly" he
said. One is the humid South, the other
the humid Northwest.
In the South the experiments of the
State of Georgia and DR.. Charles H.
Herty show that any pine, II young and
frshly cut, can be used successfully in
the manufacture of Sulfite pulp, that is,
of newsprint and various grades of fine
white paper.
Associates Of DR.. Herty now in the
Pacific Northwest have indicated that
what Is true of the pines Of the South
is also in all probability true of the
Douglas fir in the Northwest. Should
this be the case. a great impetus would
be given to reforestation in this region
since fir Is the dominant forest species
In the Pacific Northwest"
Douglas Ar never has been used sue
csSsfully in white paper making. Ex-
periments were made with old flr and
the wood did not cook" evenly enough.
Much the same was the experience with
old pine trees in Georgia. There no.
body would believe that the young sap
wood" pines could possibly be different
from the old trees until Dr. Herty
proved it. He slipped basketful Of this
young pine into the cooker Of q paper
mill manufacturing the standard white
paper from spruce. The young pine,
about Is years old, made the same kind
OF paper as the spruce.
