note to Arizona's governor saying
she wanted to see her parents and
her husband.
She saw her parents Tuesday
midnight, shortly after she escaped.
Then she disappeared again. To-
day Los Angeles police officers,
hunting once again for the woman
they captured in 1881 after two
bloody bodies, one of them dis
membered, were found in a trunk
at a Los Angeles depot, staked OUT
the home of DR.. William c. Judd.
They hoped Mrs. Judd would at
tempt to see him there.
DR.. Judd, who had been under
going treatment for diabetes in the
veterans hospital at Sawtelle, dis
appeared from that institution In
company with two reporters after
he heard of his wife's escape. He
appeared today at the Sawtelle
postoffice, alone to ask for any
general delivery mail that might
be held for him. Then he disap-
peared again. He had not gone near
his home, police said.
Before leaving the hospital he
broadcast a plea to his wife to give
herself up.
Deputies of Sheriff Lon Jordan
had three general theories regard
ing Winnie Ruth's whereabouts.
|. That she was heading for, or
had reached, Mexico where she had
spent several years OF her life. She
speaks Spanish fluently.
2. That she was en- route to Los
Angeles to see her husband.
8. That she is hiding somewhere
in the city of Phoenix, or in the
cactus-studded desert near the city.
I'D say she's going to try to
contact her husband Jordan said.
But we have nothing definite to
go on
Meanwhile, her parents, Rev. and
Mrs. T. j. McKinnell, were per-
suaded to tell officers of their mid
night meeting with Winnie Ruth
shortly after she gained her free
dom from the hospital. They had
not reported the visit until the
escape was announced.
Mrs. McKinnell said that Winnie
Ruth had entered their home thru
a back door and that She apparent
ly had come on foot.
Officers, however, learned from
neighbors that the sound of an
