Charles Lindbergh Sr. beside his world famous plane Spirit of St Louis

The “Crime of the Century,” as the press of the day referred to it, occurred on the evening of March 1, 1932 when 20 month old Charles Lindbergh, Jr. was discovered missing from the family home outside the tiny hamlet of Hopewell, New Jersey. The kidnapping was discovered by the child’s nurse, Betty Gow, around 10 PM that evening and immediately reported to his parents – Charles and Anne Lindbergh. A search of the room and land immediately surrounding the house yielded only a ransom note discovered on Charles Jr.’s bedroom window sill, demanding a $50,000 ransom. The local police were called and the New Jersey State Police soon took over the case.

Unfortunately no credible evidence was discovered at the house. Police – and for a short time reporters – were allowed to wander freely around the property and there was no real adherence to any procedure we might be familiar with today. The foot prints finally noticed just beneath the bedroom window were indistinguishable and therefore ignored. There were no fingerprints found in the room nor was any blood discovered anywhere – inside or out.

On March 6th, a second ransom note was received by the Lindberghs increasing the ransom amount to $70,000. Police and other officials met to discuss procedure and the Lindbergh’s lawyer, Colonel Henry Breckenridge, hired private investigators to help.

A third ransom note was delivered two days later indicating that whoever had been chosen as mediators between the kidnappers and the Lindberghs was not acceptable. Shortly thereafter, a retired school principal, Dr John F. Condon, took an ad out in the local paper offering to act as a go-between and would add an additional $1,000 to the ransom monies. This the kidnappers apparently found acceptable. Charles Sr. also approved the use of Dr Condon in the role as go between.

The fifth and sixth ransom notes were delivered to “Jafsie” (the code name created for Dr Condon) himself directing him first to a vacant stand near a subway entrance where a new note would give him further instructions. His final destination would be Woodlawn Cemetery where he would meet and ultimately speak to a man simply known as “John”.

A total of twelve ransom notes – some merely directing Jafsie to another location – were received before the child’s body was discovered on May 12, 1932.

…the body of the kidnapped baby was accidentally found, partly buried, and badly decomposed, about four and a half miles southeast of the Lindbergh home, 45 feet from the highway, near Mount Rose, New Jersey, in Mercer County. The discovery was made by William Allen, an assistant on a truck driven by Orville Wilson. The head was crushed, there was a hole in the skull and some of the body members were missing. The body was positively identified and cremated at Trenton, New Jersey, on May 13, 1932. The Coroner’s examination showed that the child had been dead for about two months and that death was caused by a blow on the head.

With the determination that the body found was indeed that of Charles Lindbergh Jr, the investigation quickly moved into high gear. Banks and retailers in New Jersey and New York were instructed to keep an eye out for any money encountered with the serial numbers from the ransom money. The New Jersey State Police would head the investigation with support from the Bureau of Investigation (now the FBI) and cooperation on the part of the New York Police. A reward of $25,000 was offered to anyone who could provide the investigation direction. This naturally brought out all sorts of people, interested in the money, but not the truth. A lot of police and BI manpower was wasted following every tidbit of information given, because nothing could be left to speculation. Other people linked to the Lindberghs were also victims of con artists wanting to make a few bucks. Not difficult to believe since the world was in the iron grip of the Great Depression.

On May 2, 1933, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York discovered 296 ten-dollar gold certificates, and one $20 gold certificate, all Lindbergh ransom notes. These bills were included among the currency received at the Federal Reserve Bank on May 1, 1933, and apparently had been made in one deposit. Immediately upon the discovery of these bills, deposit tickets at the Federal Reserve Bank for May 1, 1933, were examined. One was found bearing the name and address of “J.J. Faulkner, 537 West 149th Street,” and had marked thereon “gold certificates,” “$10 and $20″ in the amount of $2,980. Despite extensive investigation, this depositor was never located.

Two years after the kidnap and discovery of the infant’s body, investigators were able to zero in on one man: Bruno Richard Hauptmann. The use of various gold certificates known to be part of the ransom monies were reportedly used by Mr Hauptmann and he was summarily arrested. Samples of his handwriting were taken to compare with the writings of the numerous ransom notes. Mr Hauptmann was identified by two individuals as using gold certificates which were part of the ransom money. The first “witness” was a gas station attendant who identified Mr Hauptmann as the individual who paid for gas using a $10 gold certificate. The attendant was suspicious of the use of the gold certificate so he noted the license plate number of the car the man drove. The second “witness” was a young woman working at a Greenwich Village movie house who claimed Hauptmann handed her a folded bill from the ransom money to pay for a movie ticket on his birthday.**

On the morning of September 19, 1934, after a night of surveillance, police arrested Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the crime of kidnapping and murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr. Mr Hauptmann was a German immigrant who had been living in the United States for 11 years. He was married with one child, a son. His primary means of employ was as a carpenter, though he had partnered with other immigrants in an illegal fur trade. Despite his claims of innocence, a $20 gold certificate was found on his person at the time of arrest. A search of his home yielded a further $13,000 which had been hidden in various compartments in his garage. Hauptmann claimed that the money was being held for an old business partner who had returned to Germany, ill, and subsequently died there. Money was owed to Hauptmann by this man and when Hauptmann discovered the stash of money, he felt entitled to it.

Hauptmann was indicted in the Supreme Court in Bronx County, New York for the crime of extortion, as that’s where the money was exchanged between Jafsie and “John” and where it was later discovered to be in Hauptmann’s possession. Days later he was indicted for murder in Herndon County, New Jersey. The murder trial for Bruno Richard Hauptmann began on January 3, 1935 and lasted five weeks. The case against him was based solely on circumstantial evidence, yet he was found guilty of murder in the first degree on February 13, 1935. While his defense team appealed, it was to no avail.

Bruno Richard Hauptmann was electrocuted on April 3, 1936 at 8:47 PM.

DISCOVERY AT THE TRAIN DEPOT

Two heavy black and silver trunks lay in baggage claim at Los Angeles Union Station. The first trunk, a large packer trunk (40″x24″x38″), and its contents had weighed an exceptional 235 pounds. The second trunk, a steam trunk (15″x18″x36″) weighed under 200 pounds. The unusual heaviness of the trunks was what first aroused suspicions of baggage agent George Brooker as he checked baggage from the Golden State Limited from Phoenix, Arizona. It was October 19, 1931 and, at the height of prohibition, the railroads had been instructed to keep an eye out for contraband such as Thompson submachine guns and bootleg liquor. But baggage agent Brooker knew something was different about these particular suitcases because they had the nauseating smell of putrefaction and were leaking a dark liquid that a baggage handler in Phoenix had mistaken as medicine.

Brooker told his boss, baggage agent Jim Anderson, about the suspicious baggage. When the owner of the luggage arrived just before noon that day and made latent claim to the seeping trunks, the claim agents refused to release the trunks unless the owner opened them. When Winnie Ruth Judd declined to open the suitcases and quickly left the scene and her baggage behind, Anderson rang up the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Lieutenant Frank Ryan responded to the call and, upon arrival, he picked the lock on the larger of the two trunks.

The smell of rot washed over Ryan as he opened the lid of the trunk. Probing deeper, lifting a layer of rags and clothing, he was soon staring into the vacant eyes of a dead woman.

THE CONTENTS OF THE TRUNKS

The large packer trunk held the remains of Miss Agnes Anne LeRoi and the partial remains of Miss Hedvig “Sammy” Samuelson along with a mass of clothes, blankets, and other items which had been thrown in on top of the bodies. Among those items was a clean bread knife, which had been bent almost to a half circle, and two purses. The purses contained several spent .25 caliber pistol cartridges and one unfired bullet.

Sammy’s arms and legs, from the knees down, were found in the smaller steam trunk, wrapped in blankets.

The lower torso, thighs, and entrails were missing, but it wasn’t long before a janitor found the missing body parts in a beige valise and hatbox, which had been stashed behind the door of the ladies’ restroom. The luggage was then relocated to the morgue, where it could be searched more thoroughly.

The valise was found to contain the missing torso and thighs, also wrapped in blankets. The hatbox contained surgical instruments used for dissection, a bread knife, a .25 caliber Colt pistol, a box of .25 caliber Winchester bullets, and a variety of cosmetics.

An investigation of the bodies would reveal the women had been murdered two days prior to their bodies’ arrival in Los Angeles.

A PERPLEXING PUZZLE OF MURDER

What makes this murder stand out from others isn’t just the gruesome dismembered bodies that made a trip across state lines by rail. All the evidence also points to Winnie Ruth Judd as having had an accomplice help her dispose of the bodies, yet Judd was the only one tried for the crimes. This case is also a very enigmatic story because what really happened to the two women changed with every telling.

Winnie Ruth (McKinnell) Judd was born in Darlington, Indiana in 1905 to minister McKinnell and his wife. In April 1924, she married Dr. William C. Judd who was 22 years her senior. She and her husband moved around a lot before settling in California. Ruth moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1930 after discovering she had contracted Tuberculosis. Her husband was to follow later. Mrs. Judd got a job as a governess to the Leigh Ford family. A friendship blossomed between the Ford’s next-door neighbor, attractive and wealthy lumber tycoon “Happy” Jack Halloran. Eventually, the relationship would become an affair.

Months after her arrival, Judd found employment as a secretary at Gunrow Clinic. She had a salary of $75 a year, which provided enough money for her to let her own apartment at 1102 East Brill Street. Ruth met Agnes Anne LeRoi and Hedvig “Sammy” Samuelson through the Gunrow Clinic, as Anne was an X-ray technician. Sammmy and Anne had both moved to Arizona from Alaska in February 1931, their friends in Alaska had raised money to send them both to Arizona for the dry climate, which (then) was said to help Tuberculosis (TB). The women became fast friends and when Anne had to travel home to Oregon in the summer of 1931, Judd moved into the bungalow at 2929 N 2nd Street to help care for Sammy.

“Happy” Jack Halloran (Photo from Arizona Memory Library Archive)

Ruth had introduced Anne and Sammy to “Happy Jack” in February 1931, and Jack spent a lot of time visiting the women during their nightly card games. When Anne returned from Oregon in September 1931, the tall, stunning brunette was deeply in debt. Halloran was rich and he would frequently gift Anne and Sammy with presents, Judd surmised, in return for their affections. This planted the seeds of jealousy in the house as the girls began a series of underhanded psychological games for Halloran’s attention and, for Anne, money.

Thursday, October 15, 1931, Judd offered to introduce Jack to yet another coworker, Lucille Moore, so Moore, who had knowledge of the local wildlife, could help Halloran plan a hunting trip to the White Mountains of Arizona. This introduction would spark a conflagration of contention between LeRoi and Judd. Anne LeRoi insisted that Lucille Moore had syphilis, and that by introducing Jack to Ms. Moore, Ruth Judd had endangered Jack’s life. Anne began to taunt and tease Ruth, calling her names and threatening to tell her husband of her affair with Halloran.

“I was cruely made fun of by Ann to Halloran in my presence, so finally I moved.”

As contention escalated, Ruth moved back to her apartment on Brill Street. Judd also claimed that the memory of those taunts were keeping her from sleeping, so she had been taking Luminal as a sleep aid. During this time, Halloran was still visiting Mrs. Judd. According to Ruth’s April 6, 1933 written confession of the crimes, Halloran visited her 10 of the 14 nights between when she moved back to Brill Street and when the murders were committed.

In the version of the story in the confession as penned by Mrs. Judd, Jack Halloran was supposed to meet Ruth at home the night of Friday, October 16, 1931, but he never showed. Knowing Anne and Sammy would be up playing cards, she headed over to the bungalow on 2nd Street… with a knife and a gun. When Ruth Judd arrived, the women had just finished playing cards and were going to bed. Ruth overheard Anne tell Sammy that she was going to tell Jack Halloran that Lucille Moore had syphilis. Judd laid the knife and her shoes at the door, went inside, and fell asleep on the couch with the gun. (Strangely, she had no trouble sleeping…)

According to Judd, Sammy had risen several times throughout the course of the night to use the facilities. Each trip to the bathroom woke Judd, and each time she would fall back to sleep. She resisted the urge to kill Anne until the sun started to creep over the horizon. Finally, it was time to kill Anne.

Sammy got up to use the restroom and Ruth snuck past the bathroom door and slipped into the bedroom, where she shot and killed Anne. On her way past the bathroom, Sammy was exiting the restroom to investigate the noise. Sammy took the gun from the hysterical Ruth, and kicked Ruth out of the house. Ruth went out the garage door, grabbed the knife she had left outside, re-entered the house, and stabbed Sammy in the shoulder as she reached to take back the gun.

It was during the struggle for the gun that Sammy, whose finger was still on the trigger, was shot. The bullet passed through Ruth’s hand and into the left side of Sammy’s chest. Sammy tried to fire again, but the gun misfired. It fell to the floor, where Ruth picked it up and fired point blank at Sammy’s head. The bullet pierced Samuelson’s left temple and she fell dead to the ground.

According to the confession, Ruth moved Anne’s body to the bed and got the packer trunk from the garage. She then lifted Anne’s body into the trunk– a task she claimed took her two whole hours. Sammy’s body, she hauled into the bathroom, where she left it all day Saturday while she was at work. Judd would return later on Saturday to finish packing the bodies away. She claimed to have been unable to lift Sammy’s body into the trunk because it was too heavy, so she grabbed two cheap knives from the kitchen and used those to sever her into manageable proportions. Yet, the autopsy report would later reveal that Sammy’s body was dismembered with surgical precision, a task impossible to accomplish with shoddy kitchen knives.

There were more than a few flaws with the series of events in Judd’s confession. First and foremost is the fact that she was not strong enough to have hefted the bodies around– especially since she was afflicted with tuberculosis. To state that she could move Anne to the bed and easily stuff her into one trunk, yet she couldn’t lift Sammy’s body into the trunk without dismembering the body; and later, to hear Judd talk about inching the trunk inch-by-inch across the living room when it contained not ONE, but portions of TWO Bodies sounds a bit inconsistent. There is also inconsistency in her claiming to have dismembered Sammy with kitchen knives when she did not have the training to dissect a body with such surgical precision as was used on the body of Sammy Samuelson. A more likely scenario includes the possibility that Winnie Ruth Judd was almost murdered at the hands of the other two women and she acted in self defense, and, in a state of shock, panicked and called Halloran, who called in a few favors to help dismember and dispose of the bodies; or, the much darker possibility that Winnie Ruth Judd did not kill the women at all, but took the fall for Jack Halloran instead.

Union Station as it stands in present-day (2011). This is the train station where Winnie Ruth Judd left Phoenix for Los Angeles with trunks stuffed full of the bloody corpses of two murdered women.

In either case, Saturday evening the house was scrubbed clean and the bodies were stuffed into trunks. Winnie Ruth Judd found herself hiring the transport services of Lightning Delivery who testified that it took three baggage men to left the then 450 pound trunk onto their delivery truck. They recommended that, if she were to travel by train, Judd would need to lower the weight of her baggage as the rail company might not ship it. They delivered the trunk to Judd’s residence on Brill Street. In the morning, the set of 4 trunks and Judd would embark on their journey to Los Angeles, California.

THE TRIAL

After an extensive manhunt, at 6 pm on Friday, October 6, 1931, Winnie Ruth Judd eventually surrendered to police and was extradited to Arizona, where, on January 19, 1932, she was put on trial for the murder of Agnes Anne LeRoi. (She was never tried for the murder of Sammy.) The State of Arizona was seeking the death penalty, which was still the short drop and sudden stop of hanging in those days.

The Bungalo as it appeared at the time of the murders.

The bungalo where Winnie Ruth Judd murdered two women, dismembered their bodes, and stuffed them into trunks as it stands in present-day (2011).

The trial itself was a sensation. Tales of the “Trunk Murderess” made headlines across the nation. She had an all male jury that was being shown only the evidence implicating Judd in the murders as the prosecution proceeded to paint a one-sided portrayal of what happened the night of October 16, 1931. Even that was sketchy. In those days, they didn’t have secure crime scenes as we have now. That alone may have influenced the evidence because the owner of the bungalow on 2nds Street where the two women had been murdered and stuffed into trunks had opened the building up to the public for 10 cents a person. Newspaper clippings and photographs of the long lines to see inside the house were submitted as evidence. Although three policemen and the landlord were also questioned in court, the judge still overruled objections and allowed evidence found at the disturbed scene of the crime to be used in court. Miranda rights were also not in effect at this time, so things Judd had said prior to her trial were used against her in court. Judd herself claimed that alleged witnesses were lying to the court. The defense did not dare put Judd on the stand to defend herself.

On February 8, 1932, the jury found Judd guilty of murder and she was convicted to death by hanging, which was to be performed on February 17, 1933. The Supreme Court denied her appeal, but days before her execution, she was declared insane and transferred to the state mental institution.

Sheriff John R. McFadden, who had investigated the crime on his own, did not agree with the verdict. There were several important elements of the crime which had been disregarded by the state. Probably the most poignant evidence was that of Jack Halloran’s possible involvement in the murders. Though he and Judd had been having an affair, though his name had been brought up in court several times, Jack Halloran was never questioned or interviewed in court. Even one of the jurors said the courtroom was “spellbound” by the prosecution’s story, and none of the jury really believed it was cold-blooded murder. “We felt positive she was unable to cut up the body. We were told it took a professional.” The jurors also knew there were other, prominent and married men involved in the story that were never questioned in court. Judd’s simple story had been blown out of proportion and reconstructed with just enough fragments of what he believed was truth mixed up in the prosecution’s case so as to make their version believable.

At great personal cost, Sheriff McFadden managed to convene a grand jury to review the information from the case. Judd’s execution was postponed to Friday, April 14. The grand jury indicted Jack Halloran, but his presence in court proved detrimental to Judd’s testimony. Halloran’s cold stare caused Judd to cry hysterically from the stand. Jack, though implicated in the murders by Judd’s testimony, was deemed to not have been party to the murders– that Judd had simply, in a jealous rage, killed the two women. Jack Halloran walked free while Judd remained on death row.

PUBLIC SENTIMENTS FOR THE INSANE

There was one positive outcome from the hearing. The public, who until then, had only been spoon fed the outrageous story of murder and guilt now started to believe that Judd was innocent of the crime. The newspapers began asking the questions the prosecution should have asked. As sentiments for Judd’s innocence built, A.G. Walker, warden of Arizona State Prison, called for an insanity hearing. Her hearing took place in lieu of her hanging on Friday, April 14. Ten Days later, Winnie Ruth Judd was declared insane and moved into the Arizona State Mental Hospital.

The facility was hot, understaffed, and over crowded. Winnie Ruth Judd became an asset to the place, finding a niche as a beautician she would fix up many of the patients for hospital sponsored dances and the nurses eventually took advantage of her services as well.

Jack Halloran would visit Ruth frequently, taunting her and laughing at her until she would break down. Staff eventually banned him from the grounds.

Between 1939 and 1962, Ruth escaped the hospital a total of seven times.

• October 24, 1939: She left for 6 days before returning on her own.
• December 3, 1939: Judd took a bus 180 miles to Yuma, Arizona before she was discovered by police and brought back to the hospital.




• May 11, 1947: Ruth left during the day and disappeared for 12 hours before she was found at a nearby resort.
• November 29, 1951: She was caught within a few hours of her escape.
• February 2, 1952: Judd absconded to friends’ houses for a period of five days before turning herself in to authorities.
• November 23, 1952: After eating a hearty Thanksgiving dinner, she took leave to visit a friend.
• October 8, 1962: Ruth spent six and a half years at large as she worked her way to north to Kingman, Arizona before ending up in Oakland, California. There she secured employment as a maidservant to “Mother Nichols” in San Francisco. Nichols passed away in the winter of 1967, but the family so loved Ruth that they invited her to their cottage north of San Francisco. She was arrested at the cottage on June 27, 1969.

Authorities were baffled at the number of successful escapes until they discovered that a sympathetic nurse had in fact given Winnie Ruth Judd a key to the front door!

In 1952, Ruth was given another hearing. This time, the death penalty was changed to life in prison. Immediately following this ruling, Ruth demanded a sanity hearing. In October 1969, the board denied her parole. In February 1971, she had another sanity hearing. At this time, the board ruled

… The case is not one you sweep under the rug and forget about… As time passes, more and more people will join the ranks of those who think her sentence should be commuted. What we will see is not a question of modern penology, but the portrayal of out-and-out persecution of an elderly grandmother type unfortunate woman. It is incumbent upon the board to give her a commutation of sentence now…”

Finally, on the morning of December 21, 1971, Arizona Governor Jack Williams acquitted Winnie Ruth Judd and she was able to walk out of the asylum one final time.

DENOUEMENT

The most perplexing aspect of this case is figuring out what really happened? How did Miss Judd, a slight woman suffering from Tuberculosis, manage to haul around a steamer trunk that, before it’s contents were divided into other luggage, could barely be carried by several men? How did she cut up bodies so neatly and cleanly without any professional medical training? Indeed, it would seem as though Miss Judd had an accomplice who was never implicated in the murders.

Miss Winnie Ruth Judd, living under the name Marian Lane in Stockton, California, died in her bed at the age of 93 on October 23, 1998.

Jack Halloran was eventually fired by the partners in his lumber business. He disappeared into oblivion. To this day, several people believe that Halloran may have killed the women and pinned the whole thing on Ruth Judd. Virginia Fetterer, daughter of an Arizona legislator who served during the time of the murders, claimed to have met Halloran and actually heard him bragging that you could fix anything in Phoenix if you knew the right people. He laughed as he elaborated to say Winnie Ruth Judd was paying for what he’d done.

Sadly, Sheriff John McFadden’s career was ruined after he saved Judd from the gallows. Although he was forced to retire and leave town, McFadden is glad to have helped Ruth Judd avoid the hangman’s noose.

What really happened in the house at 2929 N 2nd Street on the evening of Friday, October 16, 2931 still remains shrouded in mystery. The players in the drama have all expired and only memories of the events that transpired as recorded and the evidence, gathering dust in a judicial vault somewhere, remains to remind us that things aren’t always as they seem…

The sheriff’s office is creating DNA profiles from the blood of Gacy and other executed killers and putting them in a national DNA database of profiles created from blood, semen, or strands of hair found at crime scenes and on the bodies of victims. What they hope to find is evidence that links the long-dead killers to the coldest of cold cases and prompt authorities in other states to submit the DNA of their own executed inmates and maybe evidence from decades-old crime scenes to help them solve their own cases.

Serial Murderer John Wayne Gacey, the widely traveled Clown Killer, left behind vials of blood which police are trying to get permission to use for the purposes of seeing if Gacey left behind any other victims that were not credited to him. If police are allowed to create a database of serial murderers’ DNA, it might assist police in reducing their cold case files– at least for more recent crimes. As it is, police are extremely lucky to have vials of Gacey’s blood which they can use. Blood collected as evidence cannot be used. The blood must be or have been collected by a coroner or medical examiner. Police have already used this technique to connect one unsolved murder to John Wayne Gacey.

It’s almost fitting that we here at Witching Hour celebrate the month of May with stories of murder. This afternoon on Wednesday, May 8, 2013, Jodi Arias was convicted of the first degree murder of Travis Alexander (June 4, 2008). This may not be interesting to some, but the whole thing happened in my backyard. Arizona is a death penalty state, so it is possible that Arias will not be spending life in prison.
