member, Moore and Ross reinstated
Baber, Calvert and Truly Nolen, who
had been ousted by the Duvall ad-
ministration board, and gave them
control of McCullough's actions.

"Mr. Remus is not coming back.

Those were the words of Mrs.
Remus, William Mueller, caretaker
Of the dream palace" on Price Hill,
testified.
When the palace" had been
stripped of it's luxurious fittings,
only gas range and a table re-
naming, Mueller said, Mrs. Remus,
on leaving, declared sardonically:
II will be back when Mr.. Remus
comes back"
How did Remus get in when
he returned?" asked Counsel Elston,
defense attorney.
"He climbed in a window because
the doors were spiked. The house
had thirty or forty doors, all of
which were locked against his re-
turn"
Dodge Visited Mansion
Earlier, Mueller had told of three
visits to the residence by Franklin
L. Dodge, former United States
prohibition operative, with Mrs.
RemuS. Dodge made every effort
to prevent the caretaker from see
ing him, said Mueller.

prison I told him."
It is the contention of the de-
fense that intimacy of Dodge and
Mrs. Remus and the alleged plot
against him drove Remus insane
and caused him to slay his wife.
Laugh Was Uncanny
Benton S. Oppenheimer, former
county judge, who represented Re-
mus for time in the divorce action
brought by his wife, told of going
with Remus to his home on his re-
turn from Atlanta.

pressing surprise" Oppenheimer tes-
titled. "A few days later Remus re-
ceived information in my presence
that Dodge had assisted in the re-
moval of the furniture and from
that time his outbursts became more
pronounced.
"His most uncanny laughter would
resound through our Office suite.
That occurred frequently"
Gives Up Case
Finally, I felt compelled to with
draw from the case and did so last
May"
"Well, why, if you thought he was
insane, did you not institute lunacy
proceedings for the benefit of socie-
ty," asked Assistant Prosecutor
Basler.
I did not think it would become
me as a lawyer" Alan Curry, st.
Louis, testified he considered Remus
insane when he called the bootleg
king to his office in 1925, to question
him In connection with the Jack
Daniels liquor conspiracy.
