Mrs. Ruth Evelyn Latham, 51,

saying she was conscious when
buried alive and naked by kid
napers.
“I was watching you,” they
said she told one of the two wom

“When I was lying there and
you were piling those rocks on
me, you thought I was out but I
wasn’t."
She said she also pleaded with
one of the women, Mrs. Beatrice
Winn, 57. a former business asso

this to me?”
The other suspect, Mrs. Lucille

Mrs. Wisenand, a U.S. Customs
