Winnie Ruth Judd whispers to her husband, Dr. William C. Judd, as she lies on a cot in the county
jail hospital. Police, searching into secrets of the case, pieced together a letter purported to have
been written by Judd to her husband, then torn up by her, in which she confessed to killing
Samuelson and LeRoi because Samuelson objected to her going on a hunting trip with a man.
