Former servant jailed in Beverly Hills financier's wife's murder
Rutherford Leon Bennett, 39, Los Angeles, jailed on suspicion of murder in the ax slaying of Beverly Hills financier Samuel Hayden's wife Katie Hesden Hayden, 71. Detectives say he and a housemate denied involvement, were dismissed after three weeks as Haydens' employees, and were later questioned. Mrs Hayden died at home after being found on the kitchen floor with four head wounds. Hayden, 70, had left for work earlier. The case features the Hayden home on Linden Drive near the Siegel murder site from 1947. Six workers at the sprinkler installation were fingerprinted and released. Investigators noted blood-stained clothing likely substituted, yet jewelry remained untouched. The Hayden family includes son Barney and daughters Rose and Yetta, with Hayden active in 300-million-dollar Holly Park project.
