Raleigh, May 7.—Despite the fact
that the 1935 legislature defeated the

Every Night of Show
With an attendance estimated at
around 2,000, the fourth Henderson
Automobile 'Show. Merchants Exposi.
tion and Circus got under way last
night in the High Price Warehouse in
a blaze of glory. It was considered
a wonderful showing for the first
night.
Visitors were highly pleased with
the exhibits and the circus, which at
tracted a full house for its first per
formance. The exposition continues
every night through this week, clos
ing Saturday evening.
Displays were adjudged of a very
high character, and D. C. Loughlin,
manager of the show, said there had
been more general and more generous
cooperation on the part of the entire
community than ever before. He
thought the exhibits were the best,
and the warehouse making the best
and most attractive appearance the
city has ever had. The undertaking
is sponsored by the Henderson post
of the American Legion and the Le
gion Auxiliary.
The exposition attracted a large
crowd from the time the doors opened
early in the evening. Exhibits were
in place and the displays of the busi
ness concerns participating were the
subject of much favorable comment
on the part of visitors. Many new
and novel designs have been set up,
and in themselves constitute a display
well worth inspection.
The exposition is an education by
way of showing what Henderson has
and what it does. It is a good cross
section of the business life of the city.
A number of out-of-town concerns
represented here have booths along
the “midway.” In addiiton to the cir
cus, there are refreshment stands, one
or two drawing stands and the like.
The circus is put on every night in
a large tent that has been erected
directly to the rear of the warehouse.

Part of Garrett’s

(Philadelphia, May 7 (AP) —Claims
o kin of the late Walter Garrett, mil
lionaire map manufacturer, who seek
to share in the $17,000,000 estate of his
widow, Henrietta E. Garrett, were
rejected today by Judge Allen Stearne
in orphans court.
Judge Stearne held that claimants
who assert Kinship to Mrs. Garrett
will have the opportunity to submit
claims unless an expected appeal to
the supreme court results in his de
cision being overruled.
Judge Stearne’s ruling is the first
since the litigation over the $17,000,000
estate drew more than 5,000 claimants
from the United States and several
foreign countries.

McGhee, who abducted Miss Mc-
Elroy, in 1933. was the first kidnaper
to receive the death penalty in the
United States.
McGhee said he regards Miss Mc-
