COURTROOM, GIN Att,
Ohio, Dec. Another picture of
George Remus in a maniacal mood,
struggling and pleading with friends
to permit him go and "avenge his
honor" today was presented to the
jury at his trial on the charge of
numbering his wife, Imogene.
John T. Rogers, reporter for the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch, was re-
called to the witness stand to tell
of an incident he omitted Wednes-
day in describing the events leading
to Rogers conclusion that Remus
was insane before the killing.
Rogers said he and George Con-
ners, described as lieutenant" of
the former multimillionair boot
logger, were with Remus in an In
dianapolis hotel room during the
Jack Daniels liquor conspiracy trial
in December, 1925.
Told of "HighbalI Party"
"John Berger. a Los Angeles ex-
position manager, came into the
ROOM" Rogers related, "and said
George. your wife and Dodge are
now down in his room on the fourth
floor having a highball party"
The Dodge referred to was
Franklin L. Dodge Jr., former de-
partment of justice agent, whose
,.oy0orfaI i,,t;x,, = ota- o,1l oo,,
spiracies with Mrs. Remus allegedly
impaired Menus mind.
"Remus shot out of his chair and
dashed for the door," Rogers went
on. "He was shrieking. Conners
and I grabbed him and Put Berger
out of the room.
'sFor about 10 minutes Remus
raved for not letting him, as he
said, 'avenge his honor
HE struggled with us. fought
wildly and struck out. At length he
became subdued but was in state
of collapse"
Additional testimony depicting
Mrs Imogene Remus as faithless
wife, seeking to "get" the husband
she had wronged, was introduced
today by Orin M. Webber Of Chi
cago, formerly a farmer of Paw
paw. Mich.
Webber, hesitant witness, said
he formed an opinien on Remus'
sanity or insanity because of the
latter's conduct after he had come
telling tales.
Told Remus Of Charges
The charges made against Mrs
Remus and repeated by Webber to
the defendant were:
1. That Mrs. Renus had bought
a Packard roadster and had given
it to Dodge after having the initials
changed.
2. That Mrs. Remus had changed
initials on her husbands silverware
3. That Mrs. Remus had tried to
dispose of her husbands whisky
certificates in New York, and, fail
ing to do so, had then taken them
to Charlotte and Lansing, Mich.
giving them to Dodge.
4, That Mrs. Remus had foul
guns and wanted to "get Remus."
When he communicated such It'd
ings to Remus the latter "flew of
the handle, walked around the room
and acted kind of wild, mad" the
witness said.
Marshall Evidence Stands
Judge Shook overruled a motion
Wednesday to strike out all teSti-
mony of John B. Marshall, former
United States attorney, who prose
cuted the Daniels case at Indian
apolis.
Marshal had testified of a re-
ported plot against Remus' life.
Carl E. Basler, assistant prosecu-
tor, then asked that Marshall be re-
called for cross s-eXamination.
For a considerable period the
cross examination touched upon the
connection of Mrs. Remus and the
Jack Daniels case. She was indicted
on conspiracy charge, but the in
dictment was made lolle pressed or
motion by Marshall when Remu:
was called as the States star wit
ness because a husband cannot tes-
tify against his wife.
Marshall emphatically stated
however, there was independent evi-
dence against Mrs. Remus includ-
ing testimony that she drove cal
containing liquor from one StsCt
to another and that a check signed
by her had paid for consignment
