you," as one of the brothers
threatened, him. "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.

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."

would be lost under the 30-day
suspension order.
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.

Spain out of its council for the

Significantly, his listeners be
