Denham Died Here 4
Days After Shooting
His Wife And Himself
Lived For 123 Hours
After Shooting
Nine Children Orphaned By Tragedy
Attend Funeral Sendee
Tuesday.
Emory G. Denham. Ora mill
loom fixer, died in the hospital
here Tuesday morning at 3:45
from bullet wounds inflicted up
on himself last Wednesday night
after he had shot and killed
his wife while he was on a
crazed rampage due to several
days of drinking homebrew and
bay rum.
Funeral services for the man who
brought a double tragedy Into his
home and orphaned nine young
children were held yesterday after
noon at the Lurz & Jackson funeral
parlor. The services were conducted
by Rev. W. A. Elam and music was
furnished by the male quartet of
the First Baptist church.
Children Attend.
The nine children, from the oldest
girl, Frances, 17, to Emily, a 15
months-old baby, attended the ser
vices. Interment followed in Sun
tse cemetery.
Lived Long Time.
The fatally wounded man lived
several days longer than surgeons
thought it possible. One of the bul
lets he fired into his head lodged
and the other tore all the way
through, Despite the seriousness of
the wound Denham clung to life for
over 123 hours. He never regained
consciousness although he muttered
nad groaned quite a bit a day or
so after the shooting;
The tragedy was one of the most
pathetic here in years. Denham,
his children say, had been drinking
for four days. Wednesday night in
a semi-stupor from his four-day
orgy of drinking he became angered
at his oldest daughter. Shortly
after midnights- abut 1B»80 Thurs
day morning—he started to shoot
the girl. His wife interfered and
begged him to shoot her instead.
The girl had escaped from the
house in the meantime, and after
a struggle with his wife, who at
tempted to get the gun away from
him, he shot her through the head.
He then fired two shots into his
own head. When officers first got
into the house they thought both
man and wife were dead. Later it
was noticed that Denham was
breathing and he was rushed to the
hospital.
Funeral sendees for Mrs. Denham
were held Saturday. Her first name
was Gertrude and she was 37 years
of age. Her mother, brother and
sister- came here from Alabama for
the funeral. So far as Is known
Denham's children were the only
near relatives to attend his'funeral
yesterday. He was 43 years of age.
To Orphanage.
The future for the nine young
orphans was still undecided today.
It was hoped that the seven younger
children could be entered in an
orphanage. The two older children,
the girl 17 and the boy 16, may go
to Alabama to live with their
mother’s mother.

Hoey Keeps On
Worrying N. C.
Office Seekers
Clyde R. Iloey, of Shelby,
I* still the question mark in
the North Carolina United
States Senate race for 1932.
j Win he run or will he not?
Two weeks ago The Star
i • learned that Mr. Hoey would
make no decision until late
this year or early next. This
information was sent out over
i | the State, but every time the
| j Shelby man bobs up in
another city he is asked again
what he intends to do. Yes
terday he was in Charlotte,
the home of Senator Cameron
Morrison, who with Tom
Bowie and Frank Grist would
like to know what the Shelby
orator is going to do. Again
Mr. Hoey informed that he
would make no decision for
! six months or so. As a result
he broke into the front page
of The Charlotte Observer to
day, the heading of the politi
cal article being “Hoey Still
Possibility As Morrison's Op
ponent.”
Boy Bound Over
In Car Larceny;

i Raymon ftmith, young white .
man who stole the automobile
I ot William Hagley here Satur
day night but was chased down
by officers, is back in jail
awaiting trial in Superior court.
In county court he was bound to
the higher court by Judge Maurice

the $500 bond required and there
fore returned to Jail.
Smith, who drove the car off while
the owner’s wife was looking, was
captured at Fallston after a speedy
10-mile automobile chase. Officers
making the arrest were,B. O Ham
rick and Paul Stamey.
Building Full.
For Monday's session of court the
court room was filled with spec
tators although no cases of major
importance were dokected. The
fact that the Fourth came on the
week-end added to the customary
number of week-end hearings of a
minor nature. Another thing that
added to the court crowd, making
it resemble a big Superior court
week, was the fact that Shelby
stores were closed that day.
Plonk Made Foreman

man of road work in the Kings

City Aldermen
TakeNoAction
About Finances
Plans Await Budget
, Outline
Special Meeting Nest Week. To De
crease, Not Abolish, Privilege
Taxes.
Last night's meeting of the city
aldermen of Shelby failed to mater
ialize into the Important session itj
promised to be. as vital matters of
finance and appropriations were de
ferred until a preliminary budget
outline is prepared.
It is probable. Mayor S A. Mc
Murry stated today, that a called
meeting of the board will be held
one night next week
Have Budget Figures.
‘ At that time we hope to have an
outline of our budget to place on the
table before the aldermen,’ the
mayor said, "and then we can know
Just what we are doing and how well
we can afford it. Last night we did
not think it would be wise to fix
privilege tax rates and make ap
propriations for this and that with
out knowing whether we could af
ford it or how much money our bud
get will show.’’
lo He uecreaseo.
The major problem to be taken up
at the special meeting next, the one
that was to have been decided last
night deals with the city privilege
taxes. Some time ago it was inti
mated that privilege taxes in the
city might be done away with this
year. About the city hall today, how
ever, It was hinted that privilege
taxes cannot be abolished. It is like
ly, however, Jt is learned that all
privilege tax rates will be decreased
and perhaps a lew of them done
away with. This is not definite In
formation as the city fathers only
discussed the matter in an informal
manner last night, thinking it best
to watt for the budget figures before
they talked in definite terms.
Library Fund,
A delegation of women appeared
before the board last night asking
that the appropriation to the public
library be increased. This matter,
which is of considerable Interest
about the city, was also deferred
until the metelng next week when
officials can determine, by the bud
get, the extent of appropriation of
$30 to the library’ was cut in half.
Those interested in the library say
that the public institution, used by
many people, can function very lit
tle longer on that amount.
Several other items*pertaining to
appropriations and outlay were dis
cussed but final action was deferred
until next week.

is Is said, but he felt better within
a minute or two after being given
some ammonia. It was then, «
