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.

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.
