Boasts of Peace of Mind
and SouI' That No Ver-
dict Can Take From Him.
TIME OUT IN HEARING
State Will Rest Its Case
Tomorrow; Daughter to
Be Star Witness.
BY PAUL w. WHITE
United Press STAFF Correspondent


CINCINNATI, Nov. 24.-Thanks-
giving day brought brief time out
in the Remus trial, and defendant,
lawyers, jurors and witnesses re-
tired from the legal battlefield for
the annual onslaught on we'll
stocked dinner tables.
George Remus, charged with the
murder Of his wife, Imogene, was
visited by his aged mother and
other relatives, who came to the
jail from that sumptuous home on
Price Hill, where RemGs made mil
lions out of bootlegging.
"I am thankful for this peace in
mind, soul and being that no verdict
can rob me of and which now, on
this day Of thanks, is my solace,
Remus wrote in a proclamation
which he distributed proudly and
gravely.
Jurors Go Home
Several of the jurors we're per-
mitted to go home in the company
of court officers. Others decided on
football game and still others de-
cided that the fare at the hotel
where they have been locked up
could not be improved upon and
refused to bulge.
Even the visiting newspaper men
were not lost sight of. A hoSel do
mated them aadinner of turkey and
the fxin's and the twenty-five men
who have been chronicling the trial
for the nations newspapers sat in
AS for the lawyers, little work or
the case was in prospect.
The State. announced that after
calling four or five more witnesses
it would be able to rest tomorrow
The most important witness and the
one who will be saved for the last
is Miss Ruth Holmes Remus, pretty
20-year-old daughter of the slain
woman by an earlier marriage.
Present at Staying
Ruth was riding with her mother
to divorce court that Indian sum
mer morning in October wher
George Remus followed them to
Eden Park, and shot and killed his
wife.
Harry F.. Brown, brother of Mrs
Remus, told the United Press that
the prospect of testifying had be-
come a nightmare to Ruth.
"She hates to think she will have
to sit in front of SO many strangers
and speak Of the horror of that
morning" Brown said. "But she has
said repeatedly that she would dc
anything to aid the State in aveng-
ing the murder"
Other. States witnesses will in.
clude Gabriel Ryerson and his wife
respectively brother-in-law anc
sister of the defendant. The prose-
cution will call them in an attempt
to further its charge of conspiracy
that Remus consulted with at least
three friends and plotted with them
the Staying Of his wife.
The conspiracy accusation received
blow when Judge Chester R. Shook
ruled that a plot must be proved
before evidence is offered that any
cne acted in accordance with it. The
defense was jubilant over the ruling

Lindsey of Denver, the originator
of "companionate marriage" discus
sions, has called MIR. and Mrs.
Aubrey Rozelle "Lindberghs in
oceans of superstitions that call for
courage to cross" in a letter con-
graduating them on their honesty
in entering into such an agreement.
The marriage of Miss Josephine
Haldeman-Julius and her young
husband was the first Of millions Of
similar unions to be designated
rightly, Judge Lindsey said.
Judge Lindsey told the United

wedding in Girard, Kan, but was
disappointed when the ceremony
was performed when he was in
Chicago.

He told the Senate that it was pro-
posed to establish parkways along the
lines of the District of Columbia. one
of the wealthiest and largest cities of
the United States. He said it was pro-
posed to take the tax money of Mary
land and establish on Maryland soil a
playground for the people of Wash
ington city. He said he was not
opposed to the appropriation because
of it's size or that Baltimore would
have TO contribute $64, 900 toward it,
but was objecting merely because of
its purpose.
Senator Jones of Montgomery
County asked Senator Colgan if the
capital at Annapolis was now con-
nected with the National Capital by
the great Defense Highway and if he
knew why this highway was built
Senator Colgan replied that he did not
know why it was built, but he did
know that the State did not have to go
abroad to find uses for it's money.
Senator Beck then interrupted SEN
ator Colgan to ask if he had not voted
for an appropriation of $3.50, 900 of the
States money to build a plaza in front
of the Fifth Regiment Armony in
baltimore. Colgan responded that it
was State armory and had been
built in an inaccessible and squalid
section of Baltimore. Senator Beck
then wanted to know if the plaza were
to be State property. Senator Colgan
replied that he thought the title would
be taken in the name of the city of
Baltimore when completed.
