Denharadt, for- mer Lieutenant Governor of Ken- tucky, was shot to death on a road in Kentucky last November, She was accompanying Gen. Denhardt, who said she walked away from the automobile and fired the fatal shot herself. Nevertheless, the gen- eral was charged with her murder and the trial began at New Castle, Ky., last week. By the Associated Press. NEW CASTLE, Ky., April 29.—Cir- cuit Judge Charles C. Marshall re- fused to dismiss murder charges against Brig. Gen. Henry H. Denhardt | today, leaving the portly defendant | and his counsel to present their side | of the case to the jury. : The Commonwealth closed its case late yesterday and, after “sleeping over” the defense plea that the Com- monwealth had not made a case in | nearly a week of circumstantial evi- dence and scientific tests, the judge | overruled the motion this morning The 61-year-old soldier-politician, who came to court clad in a wrinkled blue coat and vest and pepper-and- salt trousers, and showed the strain of the trial in his face, was expected to tell the jury in his words later today his story of the shooting of Verna Garr Taylor, his fiancee, On the night the comely, 40-year- old widow was found dead last No- vember 6 after an automobile ride with” Denhardt, he expressed belief &he had killed herself with his heavy Army pistol. There were defense in- timations that her two daughters, whom she had supported by operating a laundry, had made her unhappy by objecting to her engagement to Den- hardt. Gen. Denhardt’s sister, Miss Bertha Denhardt, came into court to- day for the first time since the trial v Principals in Cult Case THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Prior to de- parture the defense called George R | Baker, a Commonwealth’s witness, for further questioning. Baker, a farmer | to whose house Denhardt went to use a telephone the fatal night, was asked about a survey of the death scene made by Rev. James E. Wright | of La Grange, and about keys Baker \ had said he found about a quarter of ; the way from his farm house to where | | the woman’s body lay. | On questioning by defense and by : Commonwealth's Attorney H. B. Kin- | solving, jr., Baker said two automo- biles passed his farm house between the time he first talked with Gen. Denhardt and the time he heard the first shot fired. He had said there | | were two shots, one loud and one a | | “pop shot.” SEE WHAT 1¢ BUYS A LAST TWO DA ./ Thursday and Friday CHECK YOUR NEEDS NOW!

By the Associated Press. ‘The House balked yesterday at pro- viding funds for starting construction of & $112,000,000 dam, proposed as the first link in a “super dam” to control floods on the Ohio, Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. By a vote of 41 to 15, it rejected & request by Representative Pearson, Democrat, of Tennessee, for $2,000,- 000 to start work on the Gilbertsville Dam on the Tennessee. It approved, however, a $742439 item for con- R \x\ YES -YOU A tinuation of preliminary studies on the project. o Dr. A. E. Morgan, Tennessee Valley Authority chairman, told the House Appropriations Committee recently that a single dam, or possibly two combined dams, could be constructed any time in the future which would go far toward controlling floods on the Ohio and Mississippi. Terming the proposal as a whole “almost the greatest engineering project in America,” Morgan said it would cost approximately $300,000,000, Farm Values Increase. The Bureau of Agricultural Eco- nomics said today farm lands were valued at 85 per cent of pre-war levels for the year ended March 1.

Ed Falkenburg of Medford, Okla., State Democratic vice chairman. “Women won't vote as clubwomen, they will d by their politics,” she declared. “I think it is @ fine thing to have the discussion by two eminent leaders, but the voting is unneces- sary.” Mrs. Falkenburg referred to a de- bate scheduled tonight between Sen- ator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, opposed to the Roosevelt judiciary program, and Joseph B. Keenan, As- sistant Attorney General, in favor of it. Emphasizing she spoke as a club- woman, Mrs. Falkenburg added she did not belleve a poll of the State federations would represent an accu- rate picture of the opinion of the Nation's clubwomen, o Half of all the gold in the world is held by the United States.
