		As a finishing touch, Judd tied up Ruth and left her in the hallway where she would claim she had been attacked by two "giant ltalians." (1) The cover-up was sloppy, however, and police suspected Ruth from the beginning.
		Thirty-two at the time of the murder, Ruth was accused of growing bored with Albert, fourteen years her senior, and attempting to kill him on several previous occasions.
		In fact, two complex, contradictory, gendered characterizations of Ruth emerged from the public discourse surrounding her case: in one, Ruth was a woman (a "Bloody Blonde"), but one who must die in the electric chair regardless of her sex.

		When in Long Island, Judd Gray, corset salesman, murdered Albert E. Snyder, 45, husband of Ruth Brown Snyder, 32, the Manhattan dailies were shocked beyond the drunkenest tabloid editor's most gaudy dream (TIME, April 4, 1927).
		The tabloids, who followed Judd Gray and Ruth Snyder until (and after) the current shot through them in Sing Sing's death house, explained the case as best they could: Ruth was "a dangerous woman," highly sexed, adamant in her purpose.
		Judd Gray was a spineless wretch whose infatuation was almost his excuse.
