Winnie Ruth JUDD

 
 
 

 

A smiling Winnie Ruth Judd leaves the Grand Jury after telling her story, and after having declared
"I never felt happier in my life"--even though she is sentenced to hang on February 17.
Her life was spared, and she was sentenced to serve time in a state mental hospital.

 

 

Winnie Ruth Judd in prison, awaiting news on whether she would hang,
or be committed to a state mental hospital.

 

 

Rev. and Mrs. Harvey Joy McKinnell, parents of Winnie Ruth Judd, are pictured in conference with one
of their attorneys, Arthur C. Verge, as they map a self-defense plea for their daughter, if she wins
her Arizona court appeal for a retrial in the "trunk murders" case.

 

 

Photo shows Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd hale, hearty and smiling in the garden of the Arizona State Prison.
Judd mailed this photo to her attorney, Arthur C. Verge, in Los Angeles after she made her
confession to the Phoenix grand jury. In background is the prison wall topped by bars.
Photo dated: December 31, 1932.

Winnie Ruth Judd case, possibly drawn by her.

 

 

A nighttime photograph of the Ulysses apartments, at 1130 Brill Street. Winnie Ruth Judd occupied

both bodies into two trunks and a suitcase, which were then sent to the railroad station
 for shipment to Los Angeles.

 

 

Attorney Dewar and Undersheriff Eugene Biscailuz stand next to Winnie Ruth Judd as she is
