DECIDES AGAINST MRS. JUDD
PHOENIX. April 1, (JP)—The
Board of Pardons and Paroles de
nied the commutation of the death
sentence imposed upon Winnie
Ruth Judd for the slaying of two
women ’ in Arizona’s celebrated
trunk murder case. The Board
however granted a reprieve until
April 21 to prevent the execution
taking place on Good Friday.
Governor B.B. Aloeur, under the
Arizona law, has no power to com
mute the sentence without the re
commendation of the Board. An
appeal to the Supreme Court of
the United States seems to be the
only possible way to prevent the wo
man hanging, said O.V. Willson,
the woman's counsel. She Is sen
tenced to hang for the murder of
Agnes Anne Leroy. She never has
feeen tried for the murder of Hed
vig Samuelson. An attempt made
Wednesday to have the trial of
that clause set, failed when the
court dismissed the murder Infior
mation.
In pleas before ithe parole board
Mrs. Judd declared that she killed
both women In defense of her own
life In a fight in which they were
the aggressors. The state supreme
court already ruled that Mrs. Jud<)
had a fair and impartial trial.
At the State Prison, Mrs. Judd
was reported as “stunned” by the
board ruling. Thei killing occurr
ed on the night of October 16,
1931. The bodies were .dismem
bered and shipped to Los Angeles
as baggage. One slender hope l.s
that Mrs. Judd might be taken
before an insanity ^omniiwlon.

MOST COSTLY’
AVIATION DISASTER
NEW YORK. April 5th. UFr~
Tuesday’s crash into the Atlantic
ocean of the dirigible Akron was
reconed today as the most costly
disaster.in the history of aviation
Only three of ihe 76 men were
Raved.
Hundreds of vessels, naval and
civilian, are concentrated in the
'waters of Barnegate Light to re
new with dawn the pursuit of a
faint chance that others might be
saved. Officials said that 'they
were unable to believe that any
bodies or wreckage drifted outside
the range already explored. Some
officials said they believed most
of the missing were trapped in
the debris which sank in the
ocean. Land and sea planes were
ordered to search the coast as far
south as Cape Charles. Virginia.
Search Doing on - Swiftly ;—
NEW YORK, April 5, (A1) -The
search for the, 71 lost officers and
men went forward swiftly and
thoroughly, but hope of any sur
viving the eatastrophy of the Ak
ron is gone. .The sullen sea. ;
whipped up by the vicious thunder j
storm of Tuesday is quiet, making
the task of the searching ships!
dess difficult. The coast guard \
boats which recovered the body of’
Lieutenant MacLellan were order-j
ed to extend the search southward
hut to patrol closer to shore. The
body of MacLellan was the only
one found as the search Was re
newed. It waa. 3 0 miles off shore
and a considerable distance from
[where the Akron crashed. Only ■
the top of his head was seen as!
the boat passed near by. The1,
arms were, outstretched as though
they had clung to a timber. Con
sdderaible debris was noted in the
waters near where the body was i
found.
The three survivors are making
fast recovery from the shock and
submersion at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard. The general belief of navy
men is that the Akron was caught
In the vortex of a terrific thunder
storm and swept into the sea by
down drafts.
The cruiser Portland sent, a I
radio to the navaY air station at
Lakehurst saying the ship J ! sank
while the destroyer Hunt was at
tempting to salvage it. V" posi
tion was given..
