Ruth Judd Flees Phoenix Again From Hospital

Ruth Judd, the so called out trunk murderess, vanished from a Phoenix asylum after a planned search began Friday. The 48 year old, confined since 1933 after killing two friends and shipping dismembered bodies to Angeles, had been near execution 78 hours before a prior stay of sentence. A hospital officer described a possible accomplice helping her escape as officers and attendants conducted a fruitless search of the shrub covered asylum grounds.

Dream of Fortunes From a Thousand Dollar Start

A prospectus filed with the federal commission outlines a tale of a company founded by Wilbur L. Grif and Dana Prospects. It shows 1,000 shares initially, later 315,000 issued at no par value, with Grif and his sister Mildred holding a major stake. Grif sold 5,000 shares to New York underwriters for $950,000, stock split three ways, and the common shares trading between six and seven and a half dollars, with leases on millions of shares and acres. The document notes holdings across North and South Dakota and Western Canada, implying potential riches from a dollar investment.
