SECOND TRIAL
kentuCkian Will Face Jury
Tuesday on Charge of
Numbering Fiancee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW CASTLE, KY, September 49,
Brig. Gen. Henry H. Denhardt mar
shalled his legal forces today pre-
paratory to his second battle here
against Commonwealth charges that
he murdered his 4o-year-old fiancee,
verna Carr Taylor.
His first battle ended last May,
when farmer jury reported they
were hopelessly deadlocked at 7 to S
for acquittal.
Since then the general has been
at liberty under $4,000 bond and
during the Summer led his National
Guard forces in mock war maneuvers
at Fort Knox At that time, he ex-
pressed confidence his second trial
would end in acquittal.
Both sides said today they we're
ready for trial and the case is set
on the Henry County docket for Tues
day.
However, there is possibility the
Commonwealth will ask for a change
of venue, pleading that it will be
impossible to obtain a jury in Henry
County and that it would be easier
TO move the case to another county
rather than import jury.
Commonwealth Attorney H. B. Kin
solving, jr., however, said the State
Is not planning at present to ask
for change of venue. John Berry
Of defense counsel added the general
would not seek change.
Whether the State has obtained any
additional evidence during the Sum-
mer was a carefully guarded secret.

the 61-year- general killed the

outing last November during which
she told him she no longer loved

While it is of course folly for Am

seems equally without reasol to us
that all of our armed forces should
