The threa justices who heard the appeal, affirming the conviction and the judgment of the trial court, held that inasmuch as the slayer did not lake the witness stand in her trial, no evidecne of self-defense had been given. The attorneys for the young woman contended the trial court, in instructions to the jury, failed to counsul the veniremen on self-defense. The lawyers for the killer ! pointed to a letter, found in tho drain pipe of a Dos Angeles department stoic, as mentioning an attack made upon Mrs. Judd, but the court held the letter did not show Mrs. Leroi assaulted her. His. Judd, captured in Los An !Telrs, was accused of killing both Mrs. Leroi and Miss Hedvig Samuel son and sanding their bodies in trunks to the ccasT city. The defense also raised the asser tion the slayer could have been mo tivated by an irrc ;tible impulse and cited the theory as a basis for in sanity, but the court raid it declined to recognize such a probability. Answering the charge that bias and prejudice prevailed among the jurors, tin ccuvt said it found no evidence to support the contention. Mrs. Judd's only recourse lay.i in application for a pardon or appeal to the Lnitccl States supreme court. What action might be planned, if might any, wa:i net known.
