http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/47082982

Handwritten reminiscences, with a forty-two page typescript, by Winnie Ruth Judd about her childhood, young married life, relationships with Jack Halloran and the murder victims, and her version of the night of the murders including Halloran's involvement in packing up the bodies. The narrative stops abruptly in mid-sentence. The account is undated but appears to have been written about 1941.
