Denhardt Jury Fails and Is Released in Kentucky
In New Castle Kentucky the jury failed to reach a verdict in the Denhardt case after 14 days of testimony. The 11 farmers and a filling-station operator deadlocked seven for acquittal and five for conviction. Judge Charles G. Marshall thanked the jurors and said the case must be tried again. The defendant, Brig. Gen. Henry H. Denhardt, listened as each juror confirmed the deadlock after two shots were heard nearby when Mrs Verna Garr Taylor was killed last November 6. The commonwealth presented circumstantial evidence linking a revolver found near Denhardt and his overcoat with blood marks. Denhardt testified of his finger injury and said Mrs Taylor had been moody and depressed and had spoken of joint death by own action.

The self balancing mechanism drew fire from both parties, with critics saying it cedes budgetary power to the state emergency board. Progressives defend the plan as sound finance, while amendments add $950,000 yearly for the emergency board to aid departments unable to operate under reduced specific allocations.
