"You are the 4 who defended the who killed my sister," Myers declared one of them shouted. Myers eaid Denhardt was not armed. Patrolmen Tracey and Claude Hammon came running up and the three brothers quietly sur rendered and were taken to jail as a huge crowd gathered, My ers said. "Murder by a bullet wound through the head ' and another through the heart" was the ver dict returned by Coroner D. F. L. Lapsley. The undertaker said, however, Denhardt' had been wounded seven times. Tracey said that Roy Garr told him "I did if as he sur rendered. Denhardt, who was divorced in 1933 after 32 years of wedlock, told the Jury that tried him last April that Mrs. Taylor killed her self with his army pistol. He declared she had become morose after threats against her by a jealous suitor. The common wealth claimed he killed her be cause she refused to marry him. The state demanded the death penalty. The couple became acquainted early In 1935 after Denhardt re tired as state adjutant general and bought a farm near where Mrs. Taylor lived. The courtship followed and she visited Fort Knox where Denhardt as adjutant general and national guard briga dier general commanded Ken tucky troops in the annual sum mer maneuvers. Declares Enemies Seeking His Rain After the hung jury ended his first trial on the charge that he shot and killed Mrs. Taylor, Ed ward C. Langan, public adminis trator of Jefferson county, filed a 175,000 suit against Denhardt charging him with responsibility for the death of pretty Patricia Wilson, described by Louisville police as a "party girl," who wa3 killed in a fall down an elevator shaft in a Louisville hotel. Den hardt filed a 3150,000 counter suit against Langan and declared he could prove he was not in Lou isville the night the girl died- Denhardt's suit declared his en emies were trying to imprison and destroy him "financially, political ly and socially." Denhardt, a veteran of threa wars, lawyer and newspaper pub lisher, had led a stormy military and political career in his native Bluegrass state. ' . He was elected lieutenant gov ernor on the democratic ticket in 1923 and later served aa adjutant general when Gov. A. B. Chandler was elected. He held the rank of brigadier general in the Kentucky national guard. While serving as adjutant gen eral, Denhart led military investi gations in Harlan and Kenton counties during labor troubles. He saw service in the Spanish- American war, the Mexican bor der war and the World war- He was cited by Maj. Gen. Hunter Liggett for his service at St. Ml- hlel. He was associated with his brother in publishing the Times Journal at Bowling Green, Ky., where he was born March 8, 1876. In earlier life he served as prose cuting attorney at Bowling Green. Submarine Hijack Plot Is Admitted By Rebel Officer HENDATE, Franco - Spanish Frontier, Sept. 20-(fl)-French police held under guard tonight a high Spanish military ottliial who readily told them he had organized au attempt to steal a Spanish government submarine from a dockyard at Brest France.

General Plans of Library Approved (Continued from page 1) Architects were here Monday checking over the office space In the new building with state offic ials. They said approximately two months would be required to pre pare the detailed plans. The board of control cannot issue certificates of indebtedness for the proposed purchase or con struction of a $700,000 statfc office building in Portland unless the certificates are paid off by rental receipts from state offices. Attorney General I. H. Van Winkle ruled Monday. Van Winkle pointed out that the constitution provides that the legislature shall not create any debt to exceed $50,000 except in emergency and highway legisla tions If the rentals should decline in the future, the holders of the certificates would not be protect ed. He also ruled that the board of control would not be au thorized to enter into an agree ment whereby certain Bums were guaranteed as payment on the building. The legislature always has au thority to provide that funds other than rentals may be used to pay off the certificates, but it has not yet done so. Van Winkle ruled that the board has authority to fix the in terest rate on the certificates, but "it would appear that the legis lature contemplated that the rate of interest would be not to ex ceed three per cent annually in any instance."

The utilities commissioner's suspension orders were based on finding alleging the trucking firm in its intrastate business had made r e b a te s , had traversed routes not authorized Ci its per mit and had discriminated against certain shippers. The complaint filed against the commissioner contends that if the orders attacked are allowed to go into effect many communities will be deprived of motor transport fa cilities, shippers will lose money because- no other firm in Oregon has joint through rates with com mercial carriers and the plaintiff's grandfather rights to operate in terstate under' the federal motor carrier act will be endangered. Other allegations are that the great majority of the acts charged by . the commissioner were done in connection with the firm's inter state business and any others were done inadvertently. The plaintiff's business invest ment is listed as $133,283 in buildings, shops and warehouses; $1,322,378 in rolling stock, and $142,754 In garage and ware house equipment. The complaint states that the plaintiff is obligat ed to creditors in the sum of $184,000, unsecured, and the sum of $317,437, secured by mort gages on rolling stock.
