Lone Bullet Entered Chest, Went Out Through Shoulder, Taylor Autopsy Indicates La Grange, November 14- (AP)-Evidence yielded by the grave of Mrs.

Verna Garr Taylor established today that the socially prominent Blue Grass beauty met death the night of November 6 from one bullet which cleft her heart although two shots were reported to have been heard. Investigators for Coroner L. Ricketts, who exhumed the body for an unexpected autopsy last night while this aristocratic community slept, studied the findings of two physicians. At Louisville, Brigadier General Henry H. Denhardt, accused of having murdered the attractive widow, conferred with attorneys preparatory to his examining trial at New Castle next Friday.

Detective Sergeant John I. Messmer, chief of the Louisville Criminology Laboratory, said the autopsy showed two wounds on the body came from one bullet. He said the bullet struck Mrs. Taylor in her breast, tore her heart, and traversed her body, going out through her shoulder. There had been speculation as to whether Mrs.

Taylor was shot in her back. The autopsy, Messmer said, brought out the importance of a blood-like splotch discovered on the highway the day following the fatal shooting. The stain, he said, was 1,010 feet from the stalled automobile of General Denhardt and 410 feet down the highway beyond the spot where the body was found. The autopsy report, filed at the County Clerk's office late today, gave a technical description of the wound in the chest, briefly described a "bruise on the right inner thigh," and disclosed Mrs. Taylor had undergone an abdominal operation "some years before," adding "no other abnormalities were present" in the lower abdomen.

Sergeant Messmer previously expressed the opinion the thigh Continued On Page 8, Column 5.

CLARK LONG PASS By Haby Results In Bearcats' Marker. Golding Counting. Badgers Take Advantage Of Several Breaks, Scoring In Every Quarter.

BY BOB BOHNE. (Staff Correspondent) Madison, November 14-The victory-starved Wisconsin Badgers found the flavor of the University of Cincinnai Bearcats to their liking and set themselves up to a 27-to-6 feast today while 12,000 persons looked on. The Badgers, who had not tasted victory since late September, scored once in each period. The Bearcats chalked up their lone tally on a pass, Linus Haby to Bill Golding. It was a long tossfully 30 yards that carried over the Badger safety man's head into Golding's arms.

"Goldy" ran the remaining 15 yards unmolested. Coach Harry Stuhldreher's Badgers packed too much power in their running attack and too baffling an aerial game for the invaders. Clarence Tommerson, Roy Bellin, and Eddie Jankowski alternated in ripping their way through the Bearcat forward wall. When Tommerson wasn't busy plunging he was firing accurate passes into the waiting hands of receivers. ATTACK IS DIVIDED.

The Badgers divided their attack, scoring twice on passes and twice on their running attack. The Bearcat offense was through the air entirely. Except in the matter of touchdowns, the Bearcats' aerial game was on a par with that of Wisconsin. With Haby on the starting end of most of the tosses, the Bearcats completed 23 out of 34 heaves. The Badgers connected with 4 out of 10 but two of their passes paved the way for touchdowns.

The Badgers were leading 14 to 0 when Cincinnati scored to get back into the ball game a few minutes before the first half ended. Merle Welch was set to try for the extra point from placement. Haby fumbled the pass from center, however, and was forced to run with the ball. STARS SEE SERVICE. Stuhldreher used numerous substitutions but kept his star players in the game fully three-fourths of the time.

When his first string men were not in the battle he had his reserves in tossing passes and trying for another, tally.

Inspired Fight Put Up By Musketeer Team; Titans Just Too Strong An inspired Xavier University squad played tricky football on Corcoran Field yesterday, but fighting spirit and deception weren't enough to match the manpower of the broad-backed Titans from the University of Detroit.

Outpowered in all positions, the aroused Musketeers played their hearts out, holding the Titans to one lone touchdown through the first three quarters. But the Gus Dorais-coached warriors pushed over another touchdown and a safety in the final quarter to finish in front, 16 to 0, before a Dad's Day crowd of 8,000. Except for two Xavier scoring threats--one in each half--there never was any, doubt about Detroit's superiority. Strong-armed and barrel-chested Titans manned the seven line positions and swiftlegged, hard-running backs charged BY LOU SMITH. FIEND SOUGHT In Girl's Slaying.

Lynch Threats Heard In Chicago District. Child Describes Attacker Before Dying Throat Of Victim Slashed. Chicago, November 14 -(AP)Threats of lynching voiced by aroused residents of "Little Italy" today spurred the hunt for the fiend who slew five-year-old Antoinette Tirtilli. Mutterings of swift vengeance were heard among the crowd of angry neighbors who gathered in the vicinity of the alley where the pretty little girl's throat was slashed last night by a "short, fat white man." Horrified by one of the most atrocious crimes in recent Chicago history, detective squads seized four men- one of them corresponded generally to a description of the assailant gasped out by the tiny victim before she died. Fifty officers combed "Death Valley" -squalid district on the near southwest side where the Tiritillis dwelt in a humble home--for suspects.

Investigators regarded as significant the story of a girl and two small boys who reported they Continued On Page 8, Column 5. Elsmere Man Shot Fatally; Gun Owner, Held In Slaying, Says Shooting Was Accident A forty-two-year-old Elsmere, bricklayer and carpenter was shot fatally last night in front of a cafe on the Dixie Highway, at Lytle Avenue, Elsmere. Although the shooting was said to have been accidental, another Elsmere resident was held on a murder charge. Harry Giltner, Maple Avenue, Elsmere, shot in the abdomen, was dead on arrival at St. Elizabeth Hospital, Covington.

Germany Also Resumes Kiel Canal Control. French Ask British To Join Protest Against Blow To Versailles Treaty. Berlin, November 14-(AP)-Germany shook off another of her World War "peace shackles" today by resuming control of traffic on her rivers and repudiating international governing commissions set up by the Treaty of Versailles. Signatories of the Versailles pact were advised that Germany considers the internationalization clause to assure foreign traffic equal rights with German shipping is no longer valid. Henceforth river traffic and the strategic Kiel Canal will be subject to only German regulation, the Third Reich announced.

A Foreign Office spokesman said the step was a "mere shaking off of Versailles control," but that traffic would not be affected, although renunciation of the internationalization clause put Germany in a position to restrict foreign traffic on the Upper Rhine if it should be fortified or on any other river in the event of emergency. FIVE RIVERS INVOLVED. Specifically affected by today's nullification of Part XII of the Versailles pact were the upper Rhine and Moselle, the upper Danube, the Elbe and the Oder Rivers. Traffic on these rivers has been administered by commissioners representing interested nations and with German representation in the minority. Czechoslovakian rights to a free port at Hamburg, a 99-year grant under the treaty, will not be affected, authoritative sources said.

Czechoslovakia has not exercised her right to a free port at German Stettin. The strategically vital Kiel Canal also will be under German administration henceforth, Germany no will recognize Article 380 longer of the treaty whereby the canal be maintained open to both must merchant and war vessels of foreign nations. GRANTS RECIPROCAL RIGHTS. The government of Adolf Hitler will be guided by the principle that vessels of foreign countries at peace with Germany may enjoy the same rights on inland waterways as now are permitted to German vessels on the waterways of the respective foreign countries, a communique stated. The announcement pointed out Germany tried by negotiation to reach an international agreement replacing the Versailles waterways regime, but "other participating could not make up their powers minds to relinquish a system which in fundamental principles cannot be reconciled to German sovereign rights." communique asserted: "Navigation of all waterways in Continued On Page 8, Column 6.

Madrid, November 14-(AP)Fascist aviators killed 53 persons and wounded at least 150 today in sudden bombardment of a crowded plaza where workers had gathered to discuss the defense of Madrid.

At the end of the ninth day of Madrid's siege, a government column was reported pushing northward from Aranjuez, threatening the right flank of the Fascists south. of Madrid. Fascist bombing planes were said to be concentrating on that town, 30 miles south of the capital. The mass meeting of workers had been called for 8 o'clock at the Clorieta Atocha Plaza.

Only the determined play of the fighting Musketeers against these heavy physical odds, assisted by tricks conceived by Coach Clem Crowe, prevented a larger Detroit score. Two Musketeer fumbles played a prominent part in the ultimate result. Full Back Jim Farasey fumbled late i in the first quarter, and the Titans quickly converted it into a touchdown, Andy Farkas circling his own left end and flirting with the sidelines on a 42-yard touchdown jaunt.

The second Xavier fumble--this time by Quarter Back Kim Darragh--broke up a determined scoring threat on the Titans' 17-yard stripe in the third quarter. Out- Continued On Page 26, Column 5. Mrs. Simpson Cinch For Hostess Lists; To Be In Demand London, November 14- (AP) Mrs. Wallis Simpson, chic friend King Edward, has started a scramble among London's hostesses by her apparent intention to keep up social activities while awaiting her final divorce decree six months hence.

Mrs. Simpson attended a concert last night at the Yugoslavian Legation, where guests included Edward's brother, the Duke of Kent, and other British nobles and their wives. And, friends said, the appearance left little doubt that London's hostesses have her on their list for the season. The chances are that Mrs. Simpson will be invited to most of the really important social functions.

They predicted her appearance at a party would be considered a major achievement for the hostess. Mrs. Simpson is not being seen in public with Edward, however, but friends said they had ample opportunity to meet at her home or at the King's Belvedere Palace.

PACELLI IS WELCOMED UPON RETURN HOME Naples, November 14-(AP)-Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, Papal Secretary of State, returned to Italy today and told prelates welcoming him he had received an "unforgetable reception" in the United States. He was met by a delegation of church officials from Vatican City, New York, November 14-(AP)The old army game still can't fool the Irish of Notre Dame. Before the largest throng in the history of Eastern football, 80,000 shouting spectators who jammed every crevice of vast Yankee Stadium on an ideal Indian summer afternoon, the Irish rode the Army mule to the very precipice of disaster today and then tamed him with a decisive 20-to-6 victory. Irish luck and alertness gave men of Coach Elmer Layden their most lopsided victory over the Cadets since 1932, when they corraled the Army mule, 21 to 0.

Every break in a game jammed with breaks went to the Irish, and they cashed in as calmly as a bond broker. The Cadets, who looked like easy masters of the situation at the start of the battle, smashed and passed to within scoring distance three times, only to have misfortune and a fighting Irish line break their hearts. MEYER RUNS 60 YARDS. The drove to the five, six, and ten yard enemy stripes, but couldn't break their jinx until halfway in the final period when their numan package of football TNT, baffling Monk Meyer, returned a punt 60 yards for the only Army touchdown. Figures, except those on the center-field scoreboard, favored the outwitted Army.

The Cadets outgained the Irish, 199 to 186 yards through the air and over the ground, and completed nine out of 16 passes for a total of 102 yards as against a gain of 39 yards through the ozone by the Irish. In first downs, Army picked up 10 to 9. But on the second down, from the the lucky Irish and that told the story. Army, receiving the kick-off on its 21 and without the services of Meyer, passed and rushed Notre Dame dizzy right at the start of the battle, lugging the pigskin 73 yards to Notre Dame's 6. But on the second down the Notre Dame 6, Jimmy Craig attempted to pass over the goal.

Andy Pulpis, the most alert player on the field, with Bob Wilke, snared the' pass and the threat expired.

After some time elapsed, Gadd said, Mrs.

Giltner appeared at the cafe. After pleading with Giltner, she went to another corner of the cafe to talk with friends. Meanwhile, the three men went outside, Giltner aparently intending to wait for his wife there. The conversation finally drifted to Gadd's gun. After he told of his intentions of selling'it, Giltner asked to see it.

Then, as he was pulling the gun from his pocket, Gadd said, it was discharged accidentally. Mrs. Giltner told Deputy Taylor that she and her friends heard a shot. She said the men had not been arguing. When she went to the door to investigate, she found her husband.

She said the two other men had fled. While Deputy Taylor was out searching for him, Gadd appeared at the Deputy's house on the Dixie Highway and surrendered.
