Winnie Ruth JUDD

Winnie Ruth Judd, with eyes downcast, poses next to a house. She was convicted
of murdering Agnes LeRoi and Hedvig Samuelson in the "trunk murder" case.

 

 

This closeup photo shows the changing eyes of Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, the "windows of her
soul." Her eyes, lazy with sedatives, large, hazel-colored and set far apart, are described
as pools of mystery. Sometimes they are wide with appealing sweetness that arouses the
protective instinct in men and women alike, character students say. Sometimes they are
half-lidded with curling lashes that hide secrets. And sometimes they dart fires of anger
or passion. Then they appear to be a cold forbidding steely color.
Photo dated: October 28, 1931.

B. J. McKinnell's (Winnie Ruth Judd's brother) statement regarding his sister's sanity
and innocence. He calls her letters "inconsistent, incoherent and contradictory",
but also claims "my sister is innocent."

 

 

Hair fibers under examination in the Judd case. These hairs were taken from a room in a sanitarium
where Winnie Ruth Judd hid. By establishing these hairs as hers, police can conclude that she
was indeed in that room.

 

 

When someone sent a long-stemmed rose to Winnie Ruth Judd while at the county jail hospital,
she cried and stated "I don't want them to send me any flowers. I don't want candy. All I want is
my life." She then sobbed and claimed that she sent flowers to Sammy (Hedvig Samuelson),
one of her victims.

 

 

Blood-stained pages of the "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam", found in the same trunk
where Agnes LeRoi's body was found.

 

 

Fingerprint record for Winnie Ruth Judd, on file with the Los Angeles Police Department.
Only her right hand has been printed, as her left hand was injured and bandaged.

 

 

Ray Pinker, a police chemist, is pictured examining Winnie Ruth Judd's green dress, which
she claimed she had dyed from brown to green. Tests proved that the dress was originally
green, and had not been dyed.
