The husky, 43-year-old farm worker is wanted for questioning in the death. G-Men entered the case after sheriff's officers filed a burglary charge against Winn and asserted he had left the state. A charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution for burglary was filed before U. S. Commissioner C.

B. Wilson. Meanwhile, officers said they had learned a woman drove Winn to California two or three days before his wife's nude body was found in a tamarisk thicket near the Salt River bridge. But the woman disclaimed any knowledge of Mrs. Winn's death.

A bench warrant had been issued Monday for Winn when he failed to appear for trial on a grand theft charge in the taking of money and rings from a car in Deer Valley, northwest of here. The burglary charge filed yesterday before Justice of the Peace Charles F. Coppock arises from the same theft. It will replace the grand theft charge, officers explained, be cause burglary is one of the crimes covered by the federal fugitive statute while grand theft is not. Mrs.

Winn's body was identified by fingerprints Tuesday. Nearly 10 days before it was discovered, the couple's daughter, Amelia, 4, was found abandoned on a mattress under a cottonwood tree along a canal-bank east of Phoenix. A man who said he was Winn phoned child welfare people next day and made a date to discuss the child's custody June 9. He didn't keep the date. The child is in a foster home.
