DENY THREATS MADE TO HAH MRS. REMUS Extortion of $25,000 Tried in St. Louis, Says Prosecutor. KIDNAP PLOT CHARGED Berger, Boyhood Friend of Ex-Booze Czar, Is Witness. By PAUL W. WHITE United Press Staff Correspondent COURTROOM, CINCINNATI, Nov. 2.—Charges that he had threatened Mrs. Imogene Remus ■With bodily harm in attempt to extort $25,000 for her husband from her at a meeting in St. Louis in 1925, were denied today by John S. Berger, who went to school with George Remus, forty years ago. Denies Demand of $25,000 In questioning Berger, Taft demanded: Prosecutor Taft, in cross-examMa-tion, intimated that Berger threatened Mrs. Remus with kidnaping, mutilation of her body and worse treatment to Franklin L. Dodge Jr., who Remus claims was his wife’s “paramour.” Berger testified that his own'wife and Mrs. Remus’ mother and daughter were at the meeting. John T. Rogers, St. Louis reporter, also called to the stand for cross-examination, described another incident producing his previously expressed opinion that the former bootleg czar was insane before he killed his wife in Eden Park on Oct. 6.

Cleveland Incident Told In the summer of 1926, Rogers said, he called at the Price Hill palace which Remus bought from his enormous bootlegging profits. After breakfast George Conners, the defendant’s “lieutenant,” came in and said he had more news linking Mrs. Remus with Franklin Dodge Jr., former Department of Justice operative. Conners said he had proof that Mrs. Remus and Dodge were found together one night in the room of a Cleveland hotel and that Dodge was ejected by the management. “Remus became furiously angry,” Rogers related. “He worked himself up td a great pitch of excitement and was quite beside himself with rage. His face was florid.” “Now isn’t it a fact that you told Mrs. Remus that her husband was in a shabby, emaciated condition and had sent you for $25,000? y a ft g,skg(3, “Absolutely no,” Berger stormed. “N-o, n-ot On the contrary I told her he would give'her a few hundred thousand dollars if only she would refund the bulk of his property to him.” “And when your wife Interrupted you during the conference, didn’t you tell her to shut up?” "I never talked that way to my Wife. I have too much respect for her.” Denies Kidnap Threat “Didn’t you tell Mrs. Remus that tinless she gave you the money she Would be kidnapped and her arms and legs broken and her body mutilated?” Berger leaned forward. “That’s a manufactured lie,” he ferled. “And didn’t you say Dodge would lie treated even worse?” “N-o.”' “Then when you were leaving didn’t you say to Mrs. Remus that she terrible tragedy would be on hep pwn head?” “I said no such thing,” protested she witness. The prosecution then wanted to fcnow when Berger had seen Dodge fmd Mrs. Remus. Cured by Killing Wife ’ The witness mentioned Instances lit the Statler Hotel, St. Louis, in November, 1925, and the Claypool Hotel, Indianapolis, in December, 1925. "They had liquor parties and carried on scandalous,” Berger said. “Do you consider Mr. Remus sane now?” “I do. I see him and talk with him every day and he’s as sane as you and I are.” “Do you consider that he was cured by killing his wife?” “Yes. I think so.” “Even though Dodge is still alive?” “He ought to be where she is.” "Answer my question” - “Yes, even though he is still alive.”

The witness testified yesterday he told Remus In St. Louis that his wife was "madly In love” with Dodge and had refused all offers of a financial settlement. Berger and Remus had met for the first time In eighteen years after Remus’ release from prison. - JURY GUNS ON COUNTY Contracts Believed Under Scrutiny of Inquisitorial Body.

JACKSON QUASH PLEA UP FOR RUUNGTODAY Montgomery to Give Decision on Motion to Throw Out Case. STATE READY TO ACT Another Indictment Will Be Drawn If Defense Is Upheld. Whether Governor Ed Jackson, George V. Coffin, Republican chairman; and Robert I. Marsh, former law partner of Jackson, will be tried on charges of conspiracy to offer a bribe was to be decided* this afternoon when Special Criminal Judge Oscar H. Montgomery ruled on the defense .motion to quash the Indictment. * Montgomery heard all-day arguments of Louis B. Ewbank, defense attorney, and State attorneys Monday. If the court overruled the motion, It was expected a date would be set for trial. If the motion was sustained, the State was planning to start preparations for another Indictment, probably based on the same charges. Bribe Offer Alleged. The defendants are alleged to have offered former Governor Warren T. McCray SIO,OOO and a promise of immunity fn Indiana courts L he appointed James E. McDonald county prosecutor. McCray’s financial activities were being investigated at the time, and William P. Evans, his son-in-law, resigned as county prosecutor. Ewbank, arguing In support of the motion to quash, pleaded the statute of limitations, asserting the crime Was not concealed and the statute had run. The State contended that through “fear and duress,” persons knowing of the alleged attempt to bribe McCray was kept from informing the public and prosecuting authorities until last July, when The Indianapolis Times published it. Ewbank asserted the alleged criminal attempt was “not concealed, because the highest State officer And the prosecutor knew it.” He also averred there was no vacancy In the office of prosecutor that would have given the defendants an opportunity to make the alleged proposal, because Remy was appointed immediately on Evans’ withdrawal. Replying to the State’s arguments that the statute of limitations was in operation by reason of concealment of the alleged bribery offer, Ewbank laid stress upon the fact that Remy was appointed prosecutor December 8, according to State house records, and that the indictment sets out “on or about December 15,” as the time the alleged offer was made to obtain McDonald’s appointment. Date Called Essential. Ewbank argued that the date would not need to be specified if the indictment had been filed within the two-year limit of the statute of limitations; but that inasmuch as the state contended that the statute was inoperative, the date did become essential, and since obviously incorrect, served to make the indictment invalid. Prosecutors opposed Ewbank’s assertions that the indictment was drawn improperly, pointing out it was modeled upon forms in a book on criminal procedure written by Ewbank himself.

Quart-ette Coatless Males Chatter in Jail; Fail to Save Accompanist. ,

'T'HERE were four men in the apartment of Miss Pauline Donahey, 20, at 52214 N. Illinois St., Thursday night. And there were four overcoats. Police came on the scene and ordered the party to police station. And the four men journeyed out into the chill, below freezing winds without their overcoats. Why? Three bottles of white mule nestled in the pockets of one of the coats, according to Sergt. Edward Deeter. If three had worn their overcoats the ownership of the fourth coat, and the mule, would have fallen on the coatless man, so all shivered together. Asa result, Miss Donahey was charged with operating a blind tiger and the men with vagrancy. They gave their names as Jack Nix, 29, of 1535 Ashland Ave.; Lawrence Donahey, 27, of 535 E. Market St.; Charles Richardson, 42, of 1423 Williams St., and Ruddy Claffey, 30, of 2660 Manker Ave.

Lawyer Says Sick Fowl, Not Jealousy, Caused Break With Lilltendahl. BY SAM I.OVE United Press Staff Correspondent COURTROOM, Mays Landing, N. J., Dec. 2.—An alibi and evidence of good character were presented today as the defense upon which Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl and Willis Beach expect to win acquittal in their trial for the murder of Dr. William Lilliendahi. The defense set out to prove that Beach was not at the scene of the murder when It was committed and had no reason for killing the aged husband of the woman who is on trial with him. Mrs. Lilliendahl’s attorneys promised the jury they would prove the truth of her story that two Negroes did the murder. t Denial Promised There will be some sixty defense witnesses who will attempt to break down the circumstantial evidence presented by the sixty-seven State witnesses. Mrs. Beach is expected to be a defense witness for Mrs. Lilliendahl. Samuel Bark, who astonished spectators Thursday by telling of an alleged confession of Beach in Baltimore in the killing of Dr. William Lilliendahl, has been subpoenaed by the defense. Beach, it was understood, would take the stand In an attempt to prove he never was In Baltimore after the murder. The State, however, had four other witnesses who identified Beach as being there. All but one weakened under cross-ex-amination and admitted there was a possibility of mistake. No seats were vacant In the courtroom, but the crowd was the smallest since the trial began. • Family Introduced Hedges Introduced to the jury, In a friendly sort of “Let’s-all-get-ac-quainted-now” manner, first Beach, then Beach’s son Ray, Beach’s wife and Ray Beach’s wife. He told the jury the Beaches are all friends and that Willis Beach and his family and Beach’s brother’s family are all friends of the Lilliendahls, although Willis Beach and the doctor didn’t agree, it was true, on how a sick chicken should be cared for. The State had attributed the trouble between Beach and Dr. Lilliendahl to Lilliendahl’s jealousy over Beach’s supposed attentions to Mrs. Lilliendahl. Hedges opening statement was brief and then Charles L. Phillips arose to outline the defense of Mrs. Lilliendahl. He pictured Mrs. Lilliendahl as a comparatively young woman, nursing through life an elderly and ofttimes enfeebled husband. “We will show, so clearly you can not doubt It,” he promised the Jury, that two Negroes killed this woman’s husband—the husband she loved." Take Bag, New Overcoat A woman’s hand bag, containing wearing apparel and valuable lodge papers were taken from an automobile owned by John Hipskind, Richmond, parked at 125 S. Capitol Ave. Hipskind said anew $125 overcoat also was taken.

AH! AND OH! AT NEWT FORD Throngs Jam Showroom at Fairground, Pleased as Child at Yule Tree. TINKER WITH ‘INNARDS’ Henry’s Latest Examined to Last Nut and Bolt by Interested Crowd. (New Ford to boom busineu; pom OHO, section two.) The new Ford stands unveiled. Two thousand persons sent turnstiles spinning in the Auto Show Bldg, at the State Fair Ground today within three hours after doors were opened at 9 a. m. for first public display of the new Model A cars. They scurried to the platforms where five of the new models—all but the four-door sedan —were on display, voiced excited exclama .lops of pleased surprise and then took 9 hand in the clinic. They crawled in and out and In again, pulled levers, pushed pedals, honked horns, switched on the lights, dropped into rear seats, stretched their legs, sighed satisfaction and signed order blanks. Salesmen Are Busy Eighty beribboned salesmen from the eleven authorized Ford agencies in Indianapolis wove in and out through the crowd, order blanks In one hand, pencil In the other, ears attuned for that significant remark that meant another sale. The two-door sedan was the first to greet the eye. Such a large crowd surrounded the raised platform that It was difficult to get a comprehensive view. The same was true at the other platforms, where were shown the roadster, phaeton (as the touring car is termed), coupe and sport coupe. First view of the new motor In operation was provided when G. E. Earnest, superintendent of the E. Washington St. assembly plant, drove in on a chassis, which was elevated to a platform, that all might see and hear. “Innards” Are Scrutinized Men with a bent for knowing more about the “innards” crowded about tables on which were displayed all the parts., The all-steel I two-door model body was on display “In the rough,” receiving much favorable comment. The only wood was the stays across the top. Business men and farmers scrutinized closely the new model truck. Movies showing production of the new models in the Detroit plants are to be shown continuously, at the west end of the building. Displayed conspicuously above the screen were signs saying: “Orders will be filled strictly in the order received,” Dealers and salesmen were Impatient for word from Detroit on delivered prices. Some ventured to estimate them for buyers, agreeing to stand the difference when official announcement is received. Charges to Be Higher Dealers expect delivery charges to be somewhat'higher than on the old models, because, they say, the news cars are from 250 to 300 pounds heavier. Delivery charges on the old Model T cars ranged from $37.06 to $47.68. F. O. B. prices for the new cars are approximately SSO higher than on corresponding Mode 1 . T models. The fair ground exposition will be open to the public, without admittance charge, 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. today, Saturday and Sunday. Dealers expect to have at least one model each In their own display rooms Monday. Many Thousands See Cars Bv United Press The new Ford car, for months the greatest mystery of the commercial world, made a dramatic appearance before the world today. In New York, night owls searched out the showrooms at 3 a. m., to see the new model, and thousands upon thousands Jammed past the showplaces after daylight. In Chicago less wild enthusiasm, but great Interest was shown. A line stretched a block from the main showroom on State St. by noon, and uncounted thousands came later. Call Out Police Mounted police were .called out in Cleveland to protect windows from the crowd. In Detroit forty of the new cars were displayed in Convention hall. Denver reported the greatest excitement since the mint robbery. In Kansas City 3,000 persons Jammed Convention hall for the first half hour. Streets near the Ford branch faetpry in Dallas were jammed for three blocks in every direction. Special trains carried observers from all parts of the British Isles to London, where the new models were on display at Holland Park hall. Newspapers made the display of the new car their principal story. City Trust Co.’s Christmas Saving Club now open. See our announcement on Pag* 2.—Adv.
