STATE PAINTS RUMKMG AS GRIE MATE Seek to Erase Picture of Wife’s Perfidy From Minds of Jury. DODGE IS DEFENDED ‘Other Man’ Named by Remus Automatically Benefits by Rebuttal Evidence, BY PACI W. WHITE, United Press Staff Correspondent CINCINNATI, Dec. 10.—A picture of George Remus as net insane, but bad tempered; a picture of Mrs. Imogene Remus, whom he shot and killed, not as a perfidious wife, but a woman cruelly treated—those were the portraits the State expected to present the jury as rebuttal testimony coninued today. Although the Remus defense is solely that of transitory insanity, the prosecution has assumed the burden of removing the impression left by his witnesses in their descriptions of Mrs. Remus as one who loved another man and conspired with him to rob her husband. In defending Mrs. Remus the State automatically will defend Franklin L. Dodge, Jr., former department of justice operative named by Remus as “the other man.” May Call Night Sessions Thus with a three-fold objective the rebuttal may consume an entire week unless Judge Chester R. Shook decides upon longer sessions of court. He announced that if it appeared the trial would encroach upon Christmas he might consent to night sessions. The first witness in rebuttal depicted both Mrs- Remus and her husband in anew light. She was Mrs. Elizabeth Felix, wife of a building contractor of Birmingham, Ala.. She was almost a constant companion of Mrs. Remus in Atlanta when, the latter lived th'fm while Remus was serving a sentence in the Federal penitentiary for violation of the dry laws. “ Mrs. tfelix described two visits in the company of Mrs. Remus to the bootlegger’s mansion here in June of 1926. She spoke of Remus as ep angry, red faced man who recovered his disposition after she had complimented- him as “mighty nice looking.” Witness Wins Courtroom She said he had been made angry when she told him he was as much to blame as his wife for the rift in their domestic affairs. She recalled one incident when Mrs. Remus was driven, crying, from thq penitentiary while visiting her husband. The witness pictured Remus as a man who in one minute said that "all the money in the world was not worth one hour of penal servitude,” and in the next minute announced calmly he would kill Dodge. Mrs. Felix won the courtroom with her contagious smile and southern accent. The following testimony, with County Prosecutor Charles P. Taft II examining the witness, probably was the most human of the trial: "I suggested that he kiss his wife good-by; he did kiss her, but it wasn’t such a very nice kiss. So I asked him if he couldn’t do any better. I told him if he couldn’t kiss his wife any better than that it was no wonder she left him. So he kissed her again.” “Did he do better?” Taft asked. “Yes, sir.” In Love With Husband? Remus self-consciously shuffled papers. Another high point in the testimony was reached when Taft asked suddenly: . , “Was Mrs. Remus in love with her husband?” “Yes, sir,” said the witness so promptly and decisively that Charles H. Elston, co-counsel for defense made his objection belatedly. The answer then was stricken out. Out of the records, that is, not out \ of the minds of the jurors, who for twenty-one days have been wondering what was the right answer to that question. Mrs. Felix will go to the witness stand again today for further direct examination.

The West family home at Perry hardly will hold all who want to come to the funeral, and the majority who attend will be intimate friends, it is much too small, however, to hold all the friends of Eddie West.

Wykoff, Methodist pastor, who tomorrow was to reX ceive Velma West as a member of his church, will officiate at the the ceremonies at 2:30. A week ago Mr. Wykoff came to the bungalow home of the Eddie Wests and pleaded with Velma to become a member of the church. Today it will be different—she never can become, a member now. Eddie’s wife will not be at the grave. Instead she will be in her drab cell here, touched with color here and there where she has added "pretties” of her own. While her husband is being buried—the husbband “who was killed because he was sick ancWiidn't want to go to a party.” She will sit and ponder, awaiting hearing for the murder. Richard Bostwick, debonnair, youthful counsel for Mrs. West, conferred with his client last night. This morning he gave intimations

State Bank will receive a 40 per cent dividend by Dec. 20, according to an order issued by Probate Judge Mahlon E. Bash Friday afternoon. Twelve thousand depositors will receive about $1,400,000 and holders of preferred claims will get $450,000. The depositors have been divided into three groups and will be paid different days. The order was given after Frank B. Ross and Norman E. Patrick, attorneys for Co-receivers Eugene H. Iglehart and Richard L. Lowther, filed a petition requesting it. According to the report of receivers, there is $1,7000,000 on hand from sale and assets and another $3000,000 Is expected within a few days. “The receivers believe it is the wish and desire of the majority of general creditors of the bank that these receivers use all possible haste in liquidating said trust by paying out the assets to the persons thereto entitled, and bringing said trust to a close as speedily as is consistent with ordinary prudence and that such purpose would be to a considerable extent defeated by taking appeals from this court rendered on preferred claims,” the petition said. Iglehart and lowther said additional dividends will be paid, but, it was not yet known when such payment could be made.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Technical considerations and the continued ease of money make it possible for the stock market to rebound easily when pressure is removed. There has been some encouragement, such as the renewed conferences of the rail executives, but it continues nevertheless to be a money market, because nothing need be expected in the way of trade developments for the remainder of the year. Being a money market, therefore, will make it extremely sensitive and we are likely to have these varied movements for the time being.
