DENHARDT TO TELL
STORY OF TRYST
Additional Evidence to Be
Given Today by Sci
entists.
By the Associated Press.
NEW CASTLE, Ky, April 28 —
From the lips of Brig. Gen. Henry H.
Denhardt will come the story of the
tragic tryst that ended in death for
his sweetheart. Mrs. Verna Garr Tay
lor, the lovely La Grange, Ky., widow.
Counsel defending the portly vet
eran of three wars against an Indict
ment charging him with murdering
his fiancee following an all-day au
tomobile ride last November 6 indi
cated today the defendant would be
placed on the stand to testify in his
own defense.
The Commonwealth, attempting to
build up a circumstantial murder
case against the prominent Kentucky
politician and soldier, had additional
scientific testimony to present today
to the Jury of square-jawed farmers
from the blue grass country. Com
monwealth's Attorney H. B. Kinsolv
ing, jr„ counted on completing the
State’s case today. The general was
expected to testify tomorrow.
The thin-lipped, bald general, act
ing on advice of counsel, did not tes
tify at the examining trial last Fall
when he was held to the grand jury.
Afterward he protested to newsmen
that if he had not been prominent
he would have been freed.
He protested that he loved Mre. Tay
lor too much to have killed her, and
declared she must have shot herself
with his heavy service revolver because
of despondency over objections of her
family to a marriage with him. The
40-year-old widow wore the general’s
diamond ring when her body, shot
through the left breast, was found in !
a roadside ravine.
The corridors of the weather-beaten
red-brick court house buzzed with ex
cited speculation over the defense an
nouncement that Gen. Denhardt would
testify.
Dr. J. A. Kennedy of the University !
of Louisville, one of witnesses called j
by the Commonwealth to present tech- |
nical testimony, told the jury yesterday
that stains found on the overcoat wojn
by the general the night of the tragedy I
were from human blood.
Over heated objections of defense |
attorneys, Circuit Judge Charles C.
Marshall allowed Dr. J. A. Miller of
the University of Louisville to estimate j
that the death gun was held ’ more
than 9 and probably more than 18
Inches” from the widow’s body when '
fired. The weapon, which had been in
the general’s car, was found near the
body.

Imperial Crown of England
Made for Queen Victoria, It Bears Price
less and Romantic Gems.
(This is the fourth of a series of •;
articles on symbolism and sidelights
of the coronation ceremony.)
BY THOMAS R. HENRY.
THE present imperial crown of
England was made by the
court jewelers for Queen Vic
toria in 1837.
The 514-pound royal headpiece,
made for her uncle, fat George the
Fourth, was too big and heavy for
her girlish brow. It was broken up
and the jewels rearranged in a new
crown, lighter and more simple in
taste. The value of the gems was
close to a million dollars.
“It consists of diamonds, rubies,
pearls, sapphires, set in silver and
gold. It has a crimson cap with an
ermine border and is lined with white
silk. The gross weight is a little
more than 39 ounces. The lower
part of the band, above the ermine
border consists of a row of 129 pearls
and the upper part of the band of
a row of 112 pearls, between which,
in front of the crown, is a large
sapphire.
“At the back is a sapphire of
smaller size and six other sapphires,
three on each side, between which
are eight emeralds. Between the
emeralds and sapphires are 16 tre
foil ornaments containing 160 dia
monds. Above the band are eight
sapphires surmounted by eight dia
monds, between which are eight
festoons, consisting of 148 diamonds.
Famous Ruby in Cross.
“In front of the crown and in the
center of a diamond Maltese cross
is a famous ruby said to have been
given to Edward, the black prince,
by Dorn Pedro, King of Castille, and
to have been worn by King Henry
the Fourth at the Battle of Argin
court. This ruby is pierced through
the middle after the Oriental fash
ion. Around this ruby, to form the
crass, are 75 brilliant diamonds.
Three other Maltese crosses, forming
the two sides and back of the crown,
have emerald centers and contain each
122, 134 and 130 brilliant diamonds.
Between the four Maltese crosses are
four ornaments in the shape of
French fluer-de-lys, with four rubies
in the centers and each surrounded
by approximately 80 rose diamonds.
“From the Maltese crosses issue
four imperial arches, composed of
oak leaves and acorns. The leaves
contain 728 rose and brilliant dia
monds. Twenty-two pearls form the
acorns set in cups containing 54 rase
diamonds. From the arches are sus
pended four large, pendant, pear
shaped pearls, with rose diamond
cups containing 12 rose diamonds and
stems containing 24 very small dia
monds. Above the arches stands the
mound, containing in the lower hem
isphere 304 brilliants, and in the
| upper 244 brilliants, with zone and
arc compased of 33 rase diamonds,
j "All is surrounded by a cross with
a rase-cut sapphire in the center,
surrounded by 4 large brilliants,
and 108 smaller brilliants. The to
tal of the jewels in the imperial
crown of England may thus be sum
married: One large ruby irregularly
polished, 1 large broad-spread sap
phire. 16 sapphires, 11 emeralds, 4
rubies, 1,363 brilliant diamonds. 1,273
rose diamonds, 147 table diamonds.
4 drop-shaped pearls and 273 other
pearls."
Worn Only for State Events.
Thus heavy is the burden upon
the brow of England's monarch.
Naturally it is worn only upon great
state occasions. The crown of Eng
land for minor occasions of state is
of similar design but much lighter
and with very few jewels.
Some of the gems have romantic
histories, such as the black prince's
ruby in the center of the Maltese
cross on the front of the crown. It
was originally the property of the
King of Granada, a Moor. Pedro the
Cruel of Castille granted him a safe
conduct for an audience and then
treacherously had him stabbed In the
back for the sake of his jewels, of
which this was the largest and most
colorful. He presented it to the Brit
ish crown prince as a token of friend
ship. Throughout his life the black
prince wore it in front of his hat.
Presumably it was sold with the
other royal regalia at the time of the
Commonwealth, purchased by some
royalist and presented to Charles the
Second at the Restoration.
A good deal of mystery is attached
to the large sapphire in the front j
of the crown. It first appeared in I
The imperial croivn worn by
the Kings of England on state
occasions. It was made for
Queen Victoria and has been
altered on each occasion to fit
the successors to the throne.
Many historic gems are set in
the crown, among them the
Black Prince ruby, the Stuart
sapphire, a sapphire said to
have been set in the corona
tion ring of Edward the Con
fessor; the Queen Elizabeth
pear earrings and one of the
Stars of South Africa. There
are 3.095 pearls and precious
stones in the crown.
—Wide World Photo.
the crown of George the Fourth, and
it was believed at the time that the
prince had purchased the gem out
of his own pocket. Another version
is that it was one of the crown Jewels
of the Stuarts which disappeared
when James the Second fled from
England and had been given, or re^
stored, to George the Third by Cardi
nal York, son of Bonnie Prince
Charlie and the last of the direct
Stuart line.
This man, last direct descendant
of Mary, Queen of Scots, in the male
line, never made any claim to the
throne of England, entered the Cath
olic priesthood in Rome and became
a prince of the church. He kept
religiously apart from politics, but
hardly could have helped feeling bitter
over the wrongs of his family. The
cardinal, however, may have decided
to let bygones be bygones or even
have felt a twinge of conscience
at possessing something which did
not strictly belong to him, but to the
actual occupant of a throne which
! he no longer actually claimed.
Pearls of Elizabeth.
There is a tradition that the rose
cut sapphire in the center of the
cross came from the ring of Edward
the Confessor and was preserved in
the saint's shrine. The four pear
shaped. pendant pearls are supposed
to have been the earrings of Queen
Elizabeth. The largest diamond in
front of the crown is the second
cutting of the famous Star of Africa
diamond. The first cutting is in
the head of the King's scepter and
the third and fourth in the crown
of the Queen. The Queen's crown
also contains the most famcas dia
mond in the world, the Kol-i-nor,
which was the most prized jewel of
the Mogul emperors of India. It
came into the possession of the Brit
ish during the Punjab campaign and
was presented to Queen Victoria as
a tribute from the army of the
Punjab.
St. Edward's crown, with which the
coronation ceremony actually is per
formed, is much less elaborate and
costly. It is, however, richly adorned
with diamonds, rubies, sapphires and
pearls, with a mour.d of gold on the
top surmounted by a gold cross set
with gems, and especially with three
large, oval pearls, one of which is at
the top of the cross and the others
pendant from each limb. The crown
consists of four crosses and as many
fleur-de-lys of gold upon a circlet of
gold adorned with precious stones.
The cap within the crown is of crim
son velvet edged with ermine.
Presumably this i6 the identical
crown made for Charles the Second
at the Restoration, although some
claim that it was dismantled of its
Jewels during the reign of William
and Mary.
Gorgeous Uniform, His Design,
Goes Abroad With Pershing
Gen. John J. Pershing sailed for the
coronation today with one of the most
gorgeous uniforms ever designed for
an American Army officer.
The President's representative has
laid aside the olive drab of his war
days in favor of a costume which will
place him on an equal footing sarto
rially with other world dignitaries at
the colorful ceremonies.
Pershing's "Gen. Grant” full dress
uniform, which he designed himself,
is of midnight blue broadcloth, gold
braid and epaulets, vivid silks and
velvets, gold trouser stripes and os
trich feathers.
The general adopted the uniform to
meet his own ideas on the subject.
War Department regulations permit
him, as “general of the armies,” to
design his own uniform, and his new
est outfit was said to have cost >600.
The uniform was based mi the
Army’s dark blue full dress dating
from Civil War days and was made
by Prank Krupp, a military tailor, who
designed his first clothes for Pershing
when the latter was stationed here
as a captain.

DELAY REFUSED
IN PARKER TRIAL
Judge Orders Jury to Pro
ceed Despite Probe of
“Tampering” Charge.
By the Associated Presi.
NEWARK, N. J., April 28.—Federal
Judge William Clark refused today to
postpone the conspiracy trial of Ellis
H. Parker and his son, and ordered a
jury drawn to hear the case which
grew out of the Lindbergh kidnaping.
Counsel for the chief of Burlington
County detectives and his son, Ellis
Parker, jr„ sought the delay after a
charge of attempted jury tampering
was made at yesterday's opening ses
sion. They contended the trial should
not proceed until the jury tampering
charge was "settled.” It is now being
Investigated by a Federal grand jury.
Defense counsel planned to press for
a separate trial for the Parkers. They
are charged, with Martin Schlossman,
Harry Weiss and Murray Bleefeld,
with a conspiracy to abduct and tor
ture Paul H. Wendel, former Trenton
attorney, to obtain from him a false
confession to the Lindbergh kidnaping.
Selection of a jury was started, and
the first called was a woman who was
excused when she said that after read
ing about yesterday's jury tampering
charges, “I don’t know what to think."
Schlossman, Weiss and Bleefeld
were arraigned and all pleaded inno
cent to the indictment.
The selection of the jury then pro
ceeded.
Michael J. Blessington, a member of
the panel, made the "tampering”
charge, testifying an Orange bar
tender and another prospective juror
remarked to him that some "change”
could be made by jurors in the case.
"Five or ten grand would be noth
ing,” Blessington quoted one of them
as saying.
Quinn, answering a defense query,
said he believed the defendants—he
later specified the Parkers—"knew all
about” the alleged attempt. The
Parkers’ counsel countered with the
charge It was all "a scheme to preju
dice the jury against us.”

“NEW GEOMETRY”
BARED BY SCIENCE
Dr. Morse of Princeton Tells
Sciences Academy of
Discovery.
BY THOMAS R. HENRY.
A new mathematical tool with which
it may be possible to get answers to
hitherto unsolvable problems In phys
ics, psychology, astronomy and eco
nomics, was described before the Na
tional Academy of Sciences yesterday
by Dr. Marston Morse of the Institute
for Advanced Study at Princeton Uni
versity.
It is a development from a “geo
metrical revolution” of the past few
years, in which Dr. Morse has been one
of the foremost workers, of which few
except professional mathematicians
have been aware. However, it already
has made possible the reductions of the
working of nature in its mo6t compli
cated forms to a new order.
The new "tool” may be as significant
to the science of the future as was the
invention of calculus by Sir Isaac New
• ton, in that of the past. The one made
possible the calculations of gravity and
thus brought order into the mechanics
of the solar system and the stars. But
this was a relatively simple problem
compared to those afforded by the
workings of the human mind or of
the economic system.
The particular part of the new
mathematical technique developed by
Dr. Morse, for example, might be used
eventually to determine and guard
against the factors responsible for
economic upheavals. It now Is entirely
a case of hunting in the dark, with
thousands of factors probably In
volved, the significance of which can
not be evaluated.
Equilibrium Conditions.
In all the exact sciences, it was ex
plained, there is a constant effort to
find "conditions of equilibrium, either
stable or unstable,” in other words to
get nature to stand still, or almost still,
so it can be examined at leisure.
But most things are arranged in un
stable systems. Most of the operations
of nature, especially in such fields as
psychology or economics, are like a
dozen kids jumping up and down on a
teeter board.
So there must be hypothetical
equilibria, arrived at by mathematical
reasoning. Through the "new geom
etry’” Dr. Morse has found a way of
getting a little closer to equilibria of
action than ever has been possible be
fore. There are few absolute minima,
ideal for the purpose of the experi
menter, like the deadness of matter at
absolute zero temperature, or the in
ertness of the bit of rock on the
geologist's table.
For most systems when an absolute
minimum is achieved, the system itself
exists no longer. The best that can be
done is to approach mathematically or
experimentally—the latter possibilities
are decidedly limited—as close as pos
sible. What Dr. Morse has found is a
means of reducing any reacting system
as close to an equilibrium as possible
by means of geometrical reasoning,
still preserving the reacting system
itself.
It is done, he explains, through an
adaptation—in itself complicated to
the point where few but professional
mathematicians could apply it—of one
of the most powerful mathematical
tools ever invented. This is the new
metrical geometry based on the "tri
angle axiom.” Eventually this may be
the first proposition in any high school
text book of plain geometry.
Briefly stated, it seems obvious.
Distances Between Points.
"Space is that in which the* shortest
distance between two points is equal to,
or less than, the distance between the
same two points by way of a third
point.”
It is obviously true in all space with
which anybody is familiar. It is also
true in any other kind of space where
some other things which seem plain
common sense became ridiculous self
contradictions.
In all the old geometries, space was
that in which the position of a point
was located by a system of co-ordi
nates.
For example, the position of a pencil
dot on a sheet of paper could be de
scribed precisely as so many inches
from one side of the sheet and so
many inches from the bottom. This
would be an example of two-dimen
sional space with two co-ordinates.
The exact position of any place on
the surface of the earth could be lo
cated as so many degrees west of
Greenwich and north of the Equator,
and so many feet above sea level.
This would be an example of the
familiar three-dimensional space of
sensory experience, with three co
ordinates required.
One can postulate space of which
the human senses have no intuition—
space of four, five or fifty dimensions.
Geometricians have done so. Such
hyperdimensional spaces are essential
in the various relativistic hypotheses
of the structure of Creation. But the
geometrician did not necessarily think
of any mystical reality in connection
with them. About all he needed to
do to get another “space” was to stick
into his equations another co-ordinate
for the location of a point—with far
reaching mathematical complications,

of course, when he carried the idea
through.
By and large, such extra-dimen
sional spaces were Just such intel
lectual exercises. They were not tied
in with any sensory reality whatsoever,
in the minds of the mathematicians.
The point is that, however compli
cated one wanted to make “space,” it
remained something in which the
position of a point was located by co
ordinates.
This was getting altogether too
complicated, Dr. Morse says, and
about a generation ago mathemati
cians hit on a simpler and more fun
damental space concept which has
become the basis of all metrical geom
etry. It is, perhaps, the most funda
mental thing in the universe, or in
the human intellect’s concept of the
universe.
This concept is the triangle axiom.
The co-ordinates disappear altogether.
They can be reintroduced for special
cases. The Euclidian space of man’s
sensory is such a special case. Here
the shortest distance between two
points is a straight line, or a great
circle. It fits into the triangle axiom,
but the axiom itself says nothing
about straight lines or great circles, or
anything else specific. It doesn’t try
to tell what it’s "shortest distances"
look like—and those who work with
it don’t bother about this until they
are forced to deal with "special cases."
Co-ordinates in the past have been
like a fence around the mind in deal
ing with complex problems. The new
method tears the fence away. Out
of it comes the tool with which Dr.
Morse is working especially—mathe
matical topology. It makes it possible
to treat mathematically continuity of
phenomena, such as arise in economics
and sociology, as distinct from rate
and velocity, which are the concern of
the old calculus.
