Winnie Ruth JUDD

 
 
 

 

Another photograph of Winnie Ruth Judd with her bandaged left hand in a sling. She brushes
back her hair with her right hand, and the ring finger of which is also bandaged.

 

 

The look of insanity, either true or feigned, is on Winnie Ruth Judd's face, and is being watched by
psychologists and jurors in the courtroom who will decide her fate. One psychologist declared "If Mrs.
Judd had the acting ability of Sarah Bernhardt, she could not produce the perfect picture
of insanity that she presents."

 

 

Investigators confer over the Winnie Ruth Judd "trunk" murders. Standing left to right, John L. Brinkeroff,
chief investigator, Phoenix ; Lloyd J. Andrews, D.A., Phoenix ; Joe Taylor, chief of detectives,
Los Angeles ; Harry Johnson, chief deputy, Phoenix, and Inspector David Davidson, Los Angeles.
Coroner Frank Nance is seated.

 

 

Another photograph of Winnie Ruth Judd. Her husband described her as "fragile",
but the police considered her a "velvet tigress."

Winnie Ruth Judd, at far left, waves a clenched fist and clutches her hair at her sanity hearing
 in Florence, Arizona, where she is scehduled to die on the prison gallows on Friday unless the
 jury finds her insane. After her parents told of insanity running in their family, Judd broke out
into a wild outburst and was carried screaming from the courtroom.

 

 

A bullet on a piece of gauze rests upon someone's hand. This is the bullet removed from
Judd's hand. She claimed that Hedvig Samuelson shot her during a quarrel.

 

 

Winnie Ruth Judd, with attorneys. Her husband, William C. Judd, stands behind her.

 

 

Arthur V. Anderson, the baggage clerk at the railroad station who discovered the bodies in
Winnie Ruth Judd's trunks, is shown here on the stand in the courtroom.
