Phoenix, Jan. 19 (INS) Winnie Ruth Jirtd today dramatically re-enacted the death struggle that preceded the Truhk murders" ol Agnes Anne Leroi and Hcdvig Sam-uelson.

The re-enactmcnt of the death struggle was a startling prelude to a surprise move by Halloran's counsel to strike out all of Mrs Judd's testimony as the state's star witness against Halioran Halloran's attorney presented a motion alleging Mrs Judd was "concealing material facts," repeatedly committing penury." and "was physically diseased to the extent that she was incompetent to testify." F.arlier in the day another surprise action by Hallorans attorney had enabled counsel for Mrs. Judd to present at today's session. Judge J. C.

Tears streamed down the former judge's face as he made the plea to allow Mrs. Judd's lawyers to return, "I am not unmindful of my duty to Jack Halioran, but at the same time I can not a an officer of this court see Winnie Ruth Judd deprived of her rights," he said in a choking voice. Family Had Been Barred.

Mrs Judd's attorneys and members of her familv had been barred on the grounds they would later be called as defense witnesses for Hal-loran. Simultaneously Mrs. Judd scored a second victory when Smith withdrew hts pica for presentation of the grand Jury transcript of her story of the murders that resulted tn the indictment of Halioran. He had planned a grilling cross-examination based on this transcript in an effort to impeach her testimony.

Creation of local corporations to bofrow on tax liens for financing school operations was suggested before a senate banking subcommittee today by Atlee Pomerene, chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
