JURY IN DEATH CASE
TO HEARDENHARDT
General Accused of Murder
Makes Affidavit Fiancee
Killed Self.
By the Aesocieted Press.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.. January 16.—
Brig. Gen. Henry H. Denhardt said
tonight he would waive his constitu
tional rights and testify Monday
before a Henry County grand jury
Investigating the death of Mrs. Verna
Garr Taylor, his fiancee.
Denhardt, at liberty under *25,000
bond on a charge of murdering the
attractive 40-year-old widow, made
public a copy of an affidavit which he
said his attorneys would file Monday
1 asking Judge Charles C. Wilson to
advise the grand jurors of his wil
lingness to testify.
Gen. Denhardt in his affidavit also
bfiered to bring before the grand
Jurors at his own expense "reputable
authorities upon the subjects of blood
technique and forensic ballistics."
Stain Declared "Chicken Blood.”
The affidavit stated that a stain on
the highway several hundred yards
from where Mrs. Taylor's body was
found in a ditch the night of Novem
ber 6, 1936. was analyzed as "chicken
blood” by Dr. Alexander S. Wiener of
Brooklyn and Dr. J. A. Kennedy of
the faculty of the University of
Louisville and Louisville city chemist.
Blood stains on the general’s over
coat also were examined, the affidavit
stated, and Dr. Wiener *•* • * dem
onstrated that those sfnall drops of i
blood could not have come from Mrs. j
Taylor's wounds.”
The affidavit attacked paraffin tests
tnade by Sergt. John I. Messmer of
the Louisville Police Department of
both the general's hands and Mrs.
Taylor's and quoted Dr. O. W. Muehl
berger, professor of Northwestern Uni
versity and assistant coroner of Cook
County, Illinois, as saying "of itself,
the test is ordinarily anything but
conclusive, as evidence that a certain
hand did fire a gun and is utterly
worthless as evidence that a certain
hand did not fire a gun.”
Messmer, in his report, said the
tests showed Mrs. Taylor had not
fired a gun recently. The results of
a. similar test to determine whether
Denhardt had recently fired a weapon
were not revealed.
Tell* of Her Mental Distress.
The general's story as told in the i
affidavit, stated that Mrs. Taylor had
“been in mental distress all day and
was very much depressed and de
apondent."
Discussing the events leading up to
the tragedy, Denhardt said that at
her request he had started into the
home of G. R. Baker to call a garage
in La Grange, Ky„ to ask why a bat- j
tery he had asked for to aid them
in starting their stalled automobile
had not been sent.
"Before he reached Baker's home,” j
the affidavit continued, "Mrs. Taylor
called for him to return. He started
back, but when he reached the car
he found Mrs. Taylor had disap
peared in the darkness; that at that
time he called to her but there was
no answer to his call. That shortly
thereafter he heard the first shot and ;
that after that was heard he found;
that his revolver, which Mrs. Taylor !
knew was always in the glove com
partment, had also disappeared.
Then for the first time the affiant
states that he felt the worst had hap
pened.”
The affidavit stated that when the
second shot was fired he was standing
in the presence of Baker.

Outlaw Gets Niche in Missouri Capitol
Because Easterners know Missouri as the home of Huckleberry Finn, Jesse James and
“Frankie and Johnnie,” Thomas Hart Benton, the mural artist who decorated the House lounge,
in Jefferson City, Mo„ included those characters in his paintings. The famous outlaw is depicted
above with members of his banding holding up a train and a bank, while flanking it are scenes
of lawful pursuit. From the welter of praise and criticism over the murals, there rose the
question of a S2,751 expenditure for eggs, which the artist denied, saying he used about i/0.50,
worth in mixing his colors with egg whites. —Wide World Photo.
BERRY PRESEN1S
WAGE. HOUR BILLS
Industrial Omnibus Measure
Taken to White House
by Co-ordinator.
An amnibus legislative program em-,
bracing proposals for the fixing by
law of maximum hours and minimum
wages In industry, abolition of child
labor, prevention of unfair methods
of competition. Federal aid to small
business and the creation of a per
manent economic advisory commis
sion was presented to President Roose
velt yesterday afternoon by George L.
Berry, Federal co-ordinator of indus
trial co-operation, on behalf of the
Council for Industrial Progress.
Making a personal visit to the White
House, Maj. Berry submitted tentative
drafts of bills pointed toward these
objectives, discussing them briefly with
the President. The proposals, it is
expected, will be Considered by ad
ministration leaders along with numer
ous other suggestions for legislation
bearing upon hours and wages and
other industrial problems.
Explains Bills' Purpose.
In explaining the proposed legisla
tive treatment of hours, wages, child
labor and competitive practices, the
co-ordinator’s office announced it to
be ’ premised upon the fact, <o be es
tablished by legislative finding, that
sweated labor and employment of
children constitute unfair methods of
competition in commerce, as is the case
now recognized by statute and the
courts as regarding certain other spe
cific competitive practices held to be
unfair.”
It is part of the council's plan that
such legislation, if enacted, would be
administered by the Federal Trade
Commission, enlarged to nine mem
bers and containing equal representa
tion of labor, management and the
public.
Regarding the proposal for Federal
aid to small business, the council's
suggestion contains a provision for
Federal insurance of loans to small
enterprises made by banks and other
private lending institutions. Such in
surance. it is contended, would make
money more easily available to small
business.
Job Census CnmenthMied.
Although the council went on record
at its meeting about six weeks ago
in favor of an employment census
every five year, no proposal for this
task was contained in the program
submitted to the President yesterday.
The purpose of the proposal Eco
nomic Advisory Council, it was ex
plained, would be “to aid in the stabili
zation of employment in industry, agri
culture and commerce, and make com
prehensive and continuing study of
the national income, to prevent in
dustrial stagnation and a recurrence
of depression conditions.”

When the natives of the Belgian

the aid of American radios.
American radio receiving sets in the
Belgian Congo constitute 75 per cent

are of American manufacture, accord
ing to a report from the American
Consul there, made public yesterday
by the Commerce Department.
Although the white colony In the

1.200 of them having been imported

Broadcasting Publications, Inc., con
tended yesterday it had published in

basis of a (100.000 libel suit.

broadcasting" and "matters of great
public importance and interest.”
“The statements of fact contained
in the said article complained of in
the declaration were true,” tne an
swer asserted, "and tne expressions ot
comment and criticism therein upon
the said facts were lair comment on,
and criticism of matters of great pub
lic interest and concern made in good
faith without any malice."
At the hearing, out of which the
case grew. Payne closely questioned
Crosley about the policy of his sta
tion at Cincinnati with regard to
broadcast time for political parties.
He asked him also about time for
manufacturers of products competing
with those of companies in which
Crosley was interested.

WINDSOR MAY GO
Feeling Is Expressed That
Mrs. Simpson and Duke
Will See Each Other.
By the Assoeitted Press.
CANNES. France. January 16—A
sudden dash of the Duke of Windsor
to the woman for whom he sacrificed
his throne would be no surprise to
most Riviera folk.
Repeated and emphatic statements
made in behalf of Mrs. Wallis Simp
son that she has no plans for seeing
the Duke before. Spring and that in
no event will he come to Cannes,
have not dispelled the local belief
that he may show up at any moment.
Such statements, at first doubted,
are now generally accepted as sincere.
But, people point out, the Duke is
known as a very impulsive person
and any plan can be changed.
The voluntary separation of the
two who seem destined to a high
place in future accounts of the gTeat
loves of history puzzles the people
of Cannes and nearby resorts.
Why, they ask, should two persons
who showed a disregard for con
ventionalism to the extent of shaking
an empire, now become so scrupulous
on the score?
Question of Sacrifice.
Why, they ask. should a man who
loves a woman so much that he gave
up his kingdom for her. and who
surely must long to see her. deprive
himself of her company for months?
Some fine day. they predict almost
unanimously, the Duke, bored with
the loneliness of his Austrian castle,
will rush to her, final decree or no
final decree.
The coming of the former King
would not necessarily prevent the
granting of Mrs. Simpson's final de
cree of divorce, ih the period be
tween the granting of the decree nisi
and the final decree Mrs. Simpson is
put on good behavior. But she is not
forbidden to see any man. not even
one who has publicly declared his
love for her.
In predicting the coming of the
duke before Spring. Cannes folk ad
mit they are fathering the thought
with the wish.
They don't deny they would like
to see him—the visiting foreigners
because it would provide a new thrill
and the local people because it would
be good for business.
Purchase of Villa Possible.
And if he doesn’t arrive before then
he sureiy will buy a villa on the
Riviera and settle down here. Riviera
people say. pointing out that this
strip of roast has always been at
tractive to him.
Meanwhile. Mrs. Simpson lives at
Villa Lou Viei and participates more
and more in the social life of Cannes.
No longer do crowds gather when
she goes shopping, no longer do people
stare at her. Cannes has become ac
customed to her.
She attends dinner parties and
plays bridge both at Loui Viei and
at the villas of several friends, she
takes drives through the mountains,
she strolls in the garden and reads
and writes—and talks each day by
telephone with the former King.
Her plans are to remain at Lou
Viei until the final decree is granted
—and then, presumably, to marry the
Duke of Windsor.
Some say the marriage will take
place ih Budapest, some say in Italy.
Nothing in this respect has been con
firmed. and doubtlessly nothing will
until the ceTemony is performed.
Where they will live also is a mys
tery. perhaps as much to themselves
as to others. Two things are certain,
a person very close to Mrs. Simpson
says—they will not go to America and
will not return to England for some
time.

AMERICANS SAFE;
Stranded in Shensi Prov
ince With Other Foreigners,
They Want to Leave.
By Cable to The Star.
SHANGHAI. January 16—All the
foreigners, including about 30 Ameri
can missionaries at Sianfu, capital of
Shensi Province, are safe and well,
but so far have not been able to leave
the city, Willys R. Peck, counselor of
the American Embassy, reported to
day on his arrival at Nanking from
the northwest province by plane.
The big Junkers plane made a haz
ardous six-hour flight from Sianfu
because of difficult weather conditions.
Peck did not evacuate any of thd for
eigners because the rest of the space
In the plane was occupied by Chinese
officials, their families and govern
ment army officers stranded at Sianfu.
The American official said;
"I saw all the foreigners at Sianfu.
Although they are hoping to evacuate
they do not feel desperate. Sianfu
is peaceful, showing no signs of trou
ble."
Among the other plane passengers
was Gen. Mi Chun-lln. Nanking gov
ernment official who was formerly In
charge of northwest bandit suppres
sion activities. He accompanied Peck
to Sianfu to interview Gen. Yang >
behalf of Nanking officials.
Gen. Mi reported the troops of
Gens. Yang and Chang Hsueh-liang,
captor of Generalissimo Chlang Kai
shek and now in *the government's
custody, continued to maintain a re
calcitrant attitude. They demanded,
he said, cessation of the civil war
(cessation of the anti-Communlst
campaign), with the evident inten
tion of interposing themselves be
tween the government and the Com
munists.
Peck reported a definite plan for
removal of the foreigners had been
formed and presented to the foreign
office for approval. He plans to
transport them by truck from Sianfu
to Huahslen. a village 50 miles east
ward. and thence through govern
ment lines to Tungkwmn, on the
Lunghai Railway near the eastern
Shensi border. The plan requires the
co-operation of the military authori
ties of Shensi, as veil as Nanking,
and. If It Is approved, is expected to
begin Monday

Further Hearings Delayed
Until Late in Week or
Even Later.
Bt the Associated Press.
TORONTO. Ontario. January 16.— 1
The pot of gold at the end of the j
stork derby rainbow, which a dozen
prolific mothers thought they had
reached last Halloween, was still a
long court journey ahead today.
Lawyers said that further hearings j
on the disposition of the late Charles
Vance Millar's $500,000 award to the
mother who bore the most children ;
in a 10-year period probably would
not be held until late next week, and
might go over to the week after.
The "mother s clause” of the ec
centric barrister's will was ruled by
Mr. Justice Middleton to be valid in
the first court test last November.
The justice, however, said that ille- j
gitimate children should not be
counted.
Both of the points on which the
justice ruled will be challenged in I
the hearing which, though set for
Monday, was expected to be post
poned.
His ruling that the clause was valid
was challenged by counsel for "dis
tant kin,” Arabella West and Alex
ander Butler. They contend a prize
for a “mothers' marathon" is con
trary to public policy, "encourages
immorality" and therefore is invalid.
As "next of kin" they ask that the
fortune revert to them.
Justice Middleton's ruling on "il
legitimate children" Unchallenged by
counsel for Mrs. Pauline Mae Clarke;
five of her ten children were born
after her separation from her hus
band. The Clarkes, despite the sepa
ration, were never divorced. It ts
contended that the children were born
in wedlock.

Charts New Campaign for
Old-Age Pension Plan.
, No Senators There.
By the Associated Press.
Dr. Francis E. Townsend., frosty
haired California physician, mustered
a handful of congressional followers
In an "informal caucus” yesterday to
chart a new campaign for his old-age
pension plan.
About two dozen Representatives,
gathered in the velvet-draped Senate
conference hall, directed Chairman
Crosby to name a seven-member com
mittee to organize their fight In the
House.
Not a single Senator answered
Townsend's summons, although he
said 103 Representatives and 8 Sena
tors had been elected with his Indorse
ment.*
Smartly dressed in brown spats, a
brown suit and a brown silk tie,
Townsend described his scheme as "a
Just system which will wipe out
poverty” and predicted that 30.0Q0.
000 persons would petition Congress
to give $200 pensions to every one
• over 60.
He told newsmen he was "still in
contempt” of a House Investigating
Committee which he defied at hear
