REMUS WEEPS AT STORY OF DEATNOFFER Court Forced to Call Recess as Rum King and His Daughter Sob. TELL OF WIFE’S PLOT Surprise Witness Testifies Woman Promised SIO,OOO to Kill Mate. BY PAUL W. WHITE United Frees Staff Correspondent COURTROOM, CINCINNATI, 0., Dep. 7.—Testimony of a witness that he had been promised SIO,OOO by Mrs. Imogens Remus to kill George Remus today sent the latter’s daughter into a hysterical outburst and caused Remus to weep unconin the courtroom. The witness was Harry Truesdale, of Hamilton, 0., called by the defense in the trial of Remus on the charge of murdering Mrs. Remus. Truesdale testified of the alleged plot and said he had informed Remus of it the day before the former bootleg king became a slayer. Recess Is Granted When the witness reached a point in his testimony where he told of having followed Remus to earn money set upon the latter’s head, the defendant and his daughter began to cry. Remus held a handkerchief to his eyes. Hi spowerful shoulders shook with emotion. Romola’s arms were about her father. Unconsciously deputy sheriffs moved toward the weeping father and daughter. “Yours honor, could you grant a recess?” Remus sobbed. Judge Chester R. Shook excused the jury. After the ten men ar.d two women had filed out, Remus arose unsteadily. Apologizes to Court “Your honor,.l apologize, to,, the, court,” he said. He repeated the remark, .as though it was with difficulty he was retaining mastery of his speech. Romola arose and appeared about to fall. She is a pretty girl of 24, who has been appearing in a Chicago cabaret. Someone helped the girl outside the courtroom. r * She sat on a bench and cried hysterically. A reporter finally succeeded in quieting her but her sobs of travail carried to the nearby jury, room and Mrs. Ruth Cross, young arid attractive juror, was in tears. Even the men on the panel were shaken by the incident. ~ Remus was led to his jail quarters. Truesdale’s testimony was a surprise and came just before the defense was expected to rest its case. Youth Tells Story He said Mrs. Remus actually had given him $250 for expenses and had promised him $5,000 on her own account and $5,000 from Franklin L. Dodge Jr., former department of justice operative, whom Remus has styled his wife’s paramour. Truesdale was cross-examined by Charles H. Elston, co-counsel for defense. “Did you have an opinion as to the sanity or insanity of Mr. Remus?” Elston asked. “Yes,” the witness replied. “What/caused yoii to form that opinion?” “The way he acted when I saw him on the afternoon of Oct. 5. "Tell us the whole sotry, please,” and then Truesdale, a stout, muscled youth with big features and curly black ifeir, began his recital. “Beat His Brains Out” “I went there to Mr. Remus’ rooms in the Sinton Hotel. I told him that one day John Marcus had said to me that he knew how I could make $10,000.” “I asked him how. He said by killing a man. “So one day I went to the Alms hotel. There I met Mrs. Remus.” “You told the defendant of this?” broke in the court. “Yes, what I’m telling you I told Remus,” went on the witness. “Mrs. Remus said she had some friends there and for me to come back the next day at 3 o’clock. I did and then she told me she’d give me the money. “I told her I wanted to have some .surety and she said she couldn’t give it to me. TJien she told me about Dodge. “We talked about Remus and she, said ‘I wish someone would beat his brains out.’ I said, ‘What’s in this for you? Thousands?’ She said ‘More than that.’ . “She told me if I would kill him I’d get the money the next day. She wouldn’t give me no surety, but she did give me $250 for expenses." Truesdale said he had met Remus at the Springdale dog track in Hamilton and ,at the Sinton Hotel here, and thus..knew where his quarry could be found. “I followed him several times,” the witness recounted \in a toneless voice. “I went up to his room, but there always were so many pet'tple there, man going in and out, that i couldn't kill him, \

SMITH BARRED FROM TAKING SENArtOATH Reed Committee Authorized to Try Illinois Man for Huge Spending. GIVEN FLOOR PRIVILEGE Borah Urges Law Providing Limit on Expenditures in Primary. Bu United Piets WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. The Senate today refused to permit Sen-ator-Elect Frank L. Smith, Republican, Illinois, to take the oath of office and authorized the Reed Investigating committee to try him for spending $458,000 in his primary election. A resolution calling for this action was adopted as changed by its author, Senator George W. Norris, Republican, Nebraska. The vote was 53 to 28. Senator Watson, Indiana, voted against the Norris resolution. Under its terms, Smith will have the privilege of the floor and the doors will not be closed In his face. He may present his case to Reed investigating committee and the committee can go into any further evidence it desires. The action was not u conclusive as had been planned, because Smith’s opponent had contended he had not been given a fair trial. The resolution permits such trial now! Seating Resolution Loses Its passage followed a vote rejecting a resolution by Senator Deneen, Republican, Illinois, to seat Smith. , The Deneen resolution stated that whereas Smith had presented credentials In due ana proper form, he should be sworn “on his prima facie case.” This development came when a vote suddenly appeared imminent In the case. Senator Robinson, Democratic floor leader, acting for Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska, had modified the first resolution introduced by Norris to bar Smith at the door. Robinson said that Deneen yesterday had indicated Smith wanted a further trial. The modified resolution would carry out that purpose by specifying Smith should stand aside and that the Reed committee should give him an opportunity to be heard. Deneen Move Falls Deneen tried to block introduction of the substitute, but Vice-President Dawes ruled it privileged and the substitution was made. Twice Dawes put the question for a vote and Senators seemed reluctant to take the floor to prevent a decision. This lack of activity indicated to leaders that a vote might be expected in the case later in the day, although they had planned on no vote before Thursday or Friday. Congress should adopt a law defining the amount of money candidates can spend in primaries and elections, Senator Boran, Republican, Idaho, told the Senate in his speech opening the second day of debate on the Smith-Vare expenditures contest. * Urging that both Vare and Smith be administered the oath on the face of their legal credentials, Borah asserted the Senate afterward would have the power to exclude them. Justice Is Seen •'There are certain element* of injustice, if not chaos, if Congress has the power to govern primary elections,” said Borah, the master orator of the Senate, as he launched Into the technical analysis of the constitutional points involved in the battle. “But I think congress has that power and, under the fearful conditions which now exist in the country, should exercise its power and define what it considers a proper expenditure of money by candidates."

Hinkle outlined his case briefly, summarizing the State’s contentions, and claiming he proved his points, singling out one juror at a time, as if speaking to him only. “I told you we would prove that these two people were in a liason. We have done that, have shown them kissing and hugging and caressing,” Kinkle said. “Both are guilty of the crime charged. “We maintain that the duty of a person present at the last moments of another’s life owes a sacred duty to God and the law to tell the truth about those moments. “Their clever team work slipped up in some fatal ways. < “And we have shown you a witness who swore that Beach confessed the murder to him.

Shumaker was replaced on the executive committee by R. N. Holsappie of Detroit, because of the Jail sentence given him by Indiana Supreme Court for contempt of court, it was said. Forces of General Superintendent F. Scott Mcßride scored a victory in the fight to gain control of the league, when they defeated William M. Forgrave, State superintendent of the Massachusetts Anti-Saloon League, for a place on the executive committee. Dry Flank Flea Beats Him Forgrave ha* been one of McBride’s most active and was said to have been defeated because of his insistence that demands be made upon both political parties for the insertion of dry planks in the party platforms. Forgrave has been mentioned as a possible candidate against McBride for general superintendent, but Mcßride was re-elected to that position. The Rev. E. H. Cherrington, Westerville, Oh’o, leader of the faction opposing Mcßride, was reelected as general manager of the league’s publishing interests and secretary of the national executive committee, and was named as director of the new bureau of education rfhd publicity.
