NEW MYSTERY MAN BOBS UP
 JURY SCANDAL
Witness Suddenly Appears and Is Closeted with
 Attorneys
CONNECTION WITH
 CASE KEPT SECRET
New Testimony Said to Be Regarded with High
 est Importance

WASHINGTcv, NOV. 15.-An- other man of mystery has ap- peared suddenly in the oil con- spiraey jury scandal
 This man has been introduced by William McMullin. Government informer against the Burns De- tective Agency. This mans iden- tity in connection with the case lis carefully guarded by Federal attorneys
 The stranger came from phila- delphia with McMullin and was cioseted with Government counsel for nearly an hour.
 The secrecy which the prosecu- tors threw about the new witness has convinced observers his tes- timony is regarded as of high importance in corroborating that already given by McMullen against the detective agency. f w. sherman Burns urged that he be permitted to go before ti1s Grand Jury and answer McMul- lfn's charge that reports of ac- tivities of the oil case jurors and Government employees were to be used as basis for making a mis- trial should the defense find such a course necessary. It was agreed to let Burns appear before the Grand Jury again.

CABINET FALLS
in BELGIUM ON
CLASH

BRUSSELS, Nov. 81 CR-The Jaspar
cabinet, which took office May 20,
1926, resigned today, after a meeting
which revealed the imrossibility OF
reconciling the conflicting views of the
socialist and non-socialist ministers
on the period of military service.
The socialist attitude was finally
decided at morning caucus of the
socialist ministers with the socialist
senator, M De Brouckere This was
to adhere to. the demand for reduc-
ton of military service from ten
months to six months. The cabinet
assembled in the afternoon and the
minister of 6<<ense, Coult De Bro
Queville, after full review of the sit
uation, announced that it would be
impossible to introduce bill for the
reduction of the period of service that
would meet the approval of all the
ministers. He therefore proposed that
the whole military question be sub
mitted to a mixed commission of
deputies and higher officers.
The ministerial council found that
it was unable to agree to this sugges-
ton and decided OH resignation. 1t
is believed the ministry will be recon-
structed, the four socialist ministers
being replaced by two ChriStian-dem-
ocrats one Catholic and one liberal

RENUS' DEFENSE
IS INSANITY FOR
z YEARS PAST

CINCINNATI, Nov 81 Qp-The first
evidence on which the state depends to
send George RemuS, the former king
of bootleggers," to the electric chair,
was adduced today after RemuS had
sprung the biggest surprise of the trial
by declining to make the opening
statement for the defense.
Six times last week Remus electri-
fled the spectators in Judge Chester
r. Shocks court by clashes with the
prosecution, but the surprise of none
of them excelled that of today when
Charles H. Elston, associate counsel,
opened for the defense.
Renus, suffering from a cold, arose
just after Walter K. Sibbald, deputy
prosecutor, had concluded with an ap-
peal to the jury to vote for the eXecu-
ton of Remus for the cold blooded
murder Of his wife here last October 6.
Quickly the defendant, who is his
own chief counsel, sat down. He lean
ed over and whispered to Elston "I
don't believe I can make it," Remus
said. Can you do it?"
Elston addressed the jury without a
moments warning that Remus would
not make the opening statement he
had planned, virtually since the day
of staying.
He outlined a defense solely of tran
STORY insanity His most startling
statement was that evidence would be
introduced to prove that Remus had
been insane for two years prior to the
time he shot Mrs. RemuS.

It has been brought to the attention

sanity, however, were Mrs. Remus' al
legged association with Franklin l..
Dodge, Jr., of Lansing, Mich, former
department of justice agent, and the
alleged persecution of Remus by Dodge
after the federal agent had obtained
the conviction which sent the former
lawyer who turned bootlegger to the
Atlanta federal penitentiary.
The first witness, Mrs. Ethel Bach
mann, who served Mrs. Remus as sec
retary year and half, testified she
spent the last two nights of Mrs.
Remus' life in her hotel suite here.
The high point of Mrs. Bachmann's
testimony seemed to be that at 10
o'clock on the second night before
Mrs Remus was slain, she left her
hotel and was away several hours on
an errand which would be very valu-
able if it materialized." Mrs. -Remus
did not make any telephone calls the
night before she was killed, Mrs.
Bachmann testified.
The story of how Mrs. Remus met
death was elected from Charles
Stevens, taxicab chauffeur, who testi-
fled that he had driven for her for a
year.
Mr.. Elston tried to attack Stevens
testimony concerning the language by
questioning the witness statement that
Remus had his right hand in his coat
pocket.
Stevens admitted that he did not
see a pistol in Remus' hand
After Mrs Remus was shot, she stood
and called for help, then got into the
taxicab, but saw RemuS move towards
her again and left the cab and ran
down the road, where she was taken
into another automobile and to the
hospital where she died two hours
later.
Stevens testimony introduced al

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. o.
The political effect of President

today, as the White House vacation

Coolidge has found that most Re-
publican leaders are accepting as
final his statement that he does nod
choose to be a candidate in 1928.
They are talking chiefly about

his successor, with former Governors
Frank o. Lowden of Illinois next and
Vice President Charles G. Dawes in
the background.

INDIANA PAYS
MILLIONS LESS
IN U. S. TAXES
Collection on Incomes From
State Above Figures
for Last Year.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ ItmeS Special
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Indi-
ana paid about $S,5oO,Ooo less in
Federal taxes during the fiscal year
1927, ended last June 80, than she
did in 1926, the treasury said today.
The amounts were $50 ,637, 1859 for
1925 and $36,114,7 04 for 1927. The
decrease was per cent.
Total income tax collections for
1927 were $28. 405,715, Of which $18,-
475,110 was paid by the states COR
porations and $9,930,605 by indivi-
dual taxpayers.
The 1927 income tax collection
was almost 100000 more than the
1926 figure of $24,922,0OO. This
probably is accounted for by the
fact that the fiat tax on corporation
incomes was 1914 per cent during
the latter half of 1927 and 10 per
cent durirZ the first half, against
a fiat rate of 1919 per cent during
prior years.
Although no detailed figures are
given by the Treasury. it is evident
that internal revenue taxes other
than those on incomes must have
been cut almost in half fer Indiana
taxpayers in 1927. Such collections
were approximately s15,000,O00 dur
ing 1926, against about $8,000,000
during 1927.
This in turn probably is account
ed for largely by the decrease in
Federal taxes on the States great
auto industry. Such taxes are now
3 per cent, as against per cent
during the 1926 fiscal year.
