Smith of Hereford sells fire insur-
ance, which probably explains the
nightmare he had.
Smith dreamed hrs house was on
fire. He got out of bed, jumped
through a window into the yard and
was trying to crawl back through the
jagged edges of the broken window
panes to “rescue” his wife when she
awakened him.
At the hospital physicians took
forty stitcl.cs in Snrith’o ilglii, leg and
arm.
Percy Redfearn returned Monday
to Port Arthur, where he will under-
go treatment for his arm that was
badly crushed in an automobile acci-
dent at that place several weeks ago.
Killer Appears
Elated As She
Escapes Death
Florence, Ariz., April 23.—While
Winine Ruth Judd was spending her
last day in the Arizona State prison
attendants assumed from her demean-
or that she knew her life had been
spared by sanity jury verdict, but
she said no word about it.
Her transfer to the state hospital
for insane in Phoenix, planned for
Sunday, was delayed because Supe-
rior Judge E. L. Green, who presided
over the sanity hearing, did not sign
the commitment papers after the ver-
dict was returned Saturday night.
The convicted slayer of Agnes
Anne LeRoi spent most of her time
Sunday in her cell.
Prison attendants said Mrs. Judd
appeared to be in high spirits, but
they have been unable to elicit any
comment from her to indicate wheth-
er she understands she is to be trans-
ferred to the asylum and is not to
die on the gallows next Friday.
The formal death watch was re-
moved Sunday, but Mrs. Judd was
not allowed to receive visitors.
In County Sunday
There was Considerable hail dam-
age to crops in Titus County Sunday
afternoon, especially in gardens and
orchards. The hail was preceded by
a strong wind, which also had a part
in damaging the crops.
Most of the hail reported was along
a narrow strip from Winfield across
the county to Cookvilie, missing Mt.
Pleasant by about two miles. Ten-
der vegetation was beaten to the
ground along the path of the storm,
and in some instances small outhous-
es on farms were blown down. The
county as a whole received little
damage from the storm.
Pittsburg and vicinity was visited
by an unusually heavy hailstorm Sun-
day afternoon, the second in twenty-
four hours, as hail fell there on Sat-
urday night. Gardens, Irish potatoes
and fruit crops were reported as to-
tal loss. Weaver, in Hopkins Coun-
ty, was also visited by a heavy hail-
storm, which damaged roofs of hous-
es, and it is said some of the hail-
stones fell so hard as to penetrate
galvanized iron roofs.
