WIFE-HUSBAND CLASH EVIDENT (Continued From Page 1) ing to transport liquor. I’ll tell you why I drove at night—all night, from St. Louis te Cincinnati —to get away from George Remus. The minute I learned he was robbing a distillery I left, and with my child beside me made that long night trip. “George Remus is the arch conspirator in this case." she continued. “To him belongs the plan, the plot, everything. I am innocent of any criminal connection with this. They indicted the wrong Remus. It should have been George, no Imogene. I had the same opportunity that he had tq go before the grand Jury. I scorned It. I still'would- I would not be a party to making Innocent men suffer.” Mrs. Remus was highly indignant at the report that she has smiled at her husband in court. “Not at him." she said emphatically, with a flash of her brown eyes. “Stuck by Him” She told of spending $25,000 for comforts for Remus when he served in the penitentiary. “I stuck by him while he was in trouble.” she asserts, “and only applied for divorce on the eve of his release. It made him bitterly angry at me. He now is seeking revenge.” She said that her sobbing in court was not connected with the plea of guilty made by three of tho defendants. “I cried because George Remus had just sent in a threat to me by an officer of the law,” she declared. She insisted that for a time she was kept absolutely “in the dark” regarding her husband’s activities in the alleged Jack Daniel distillery ring. "Somehow he succeeded in keeping it all from Ae,” she said. .“So I was innocent of any conscious wrong in connection with the matter. Os course, I can’t say much at this time, but as a woman of means much pressure was brought upon me. He wanted me to sign a bond. I didn’t. He was angry. I left him.” LONDON’S FIRST LADY Excavators Discover 20,000-Y'ear-01d Female Skull.

HEARING TO BE HELD ON BEER LEGALIZATION Senate Wet Bloc’s Drive Accomplishes Results, It Ts Learned. Bv United Press WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.—The wet bloc’s bombardment of the Volstead act in the Senate yesterday was not without results, it was learned, today when Senator Cummins, lowa, Republican, chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, made known that open public hearings would be held on the Edge bill to legalize 2.76 per cent beer. Cummins said he would appoint a sub-committee to conduct the hearings. “I can not say when the bearings will begin and how long they will last, but I am sure of one thing and that is that there will be many hearings on the bill,” he said. "Everybody who wants to testify on the bill wi)| be heard. Os course. I don’t know what they will be able to prove. Congress, under the eighteenth amendment, cannot legalize liquor that is intoxicating, and who is to say when liquor is intoxicating? And when is a person intoxicated? —when he’s feeling happy or when he can’t walk? "Everybody knows that liquor that wouldn’t begin to stimulate one person might make another person drunk. And the constitutional amendment prohibits intoxicating liquor. So it seems to me that the only safe thing for Congress to do is to stay within a maximum alcoholic content that won’t make any one drunk. And we are sure that of 1 per cent is that kind ’of liquor.” NEW HONOR FOR ATHLETE "Red” Robinson Wins Oratorical Prize at Wabash.
