| Cincinnati. Nov. r CP-Another huge crowd trudgcd through a wet snow storm today in an effort to witness the fourth day Of effort to obtain jury to try George Remus for staying his wife here last Octo- Der.
 After waiting in a long line in a dark corridor for two hours or more then vould-he spectators found an additional hour 10 wait while Judge Chester Shock disposed of few mi- nor cases and swore in the third spe- cial venire of 90.
 Only S6 of the third panel Of ye- niremen reported and their ranks were reduced when nine were cX- cused because of various reasons.
 Wears Third Suit
 Remus came into court wearing his third suit since the trial opened Monday. II was a single breasted blue.
 For a full hour, he sat in close head to head whispered converse ton with Charles Elston. his as sociate counsel. the most serious de- meanor Of the four days Hc carried q sheaf Of official looking docu- ments, but said he had no motion 10 read as at the past two openings.
 Of the 500 or more who waited and the 1lo who finally got into the court room, younger trial fans pre- dominated today. Nineteen were wo- men.
 Qualifying Of the twelfth tentative juror struck q snag in an epidemic of veniremen opposed 10 capital punishment. The first six called sat in the chair reserved for juror num- Der 1e only until they got chance 10 say "opposed 10 capital punish ment."
 In seeking exemption from jury service, Ben Roncr. negro. vcnire- man, told Judge Shook:
 T don't believe l could do justice here. You see l am in the same sort of a fix"
 DO you mean you are a defend 1nf in murder casco" asked the judge.
 "Oh, no sir" replied Roner and proceeded to explain l. he had had a tiff with his wife.
 Number t3 Excused
 Frank St. Clair. called as vcnire- man number IS, in the new special list, faced Judge Shook with a plea for release from service.
 What's this, number l3?" asked the judge. Well. l guess we'll have to make a concession for him." ! There was another reason sufficient ly legal, however. and number IS : passed on.
 Thomas r. Newman, G year old . salesman said he would follow the golden rule if he was accepted as q . juror, but later agreed to follow the , law as read to him by the court, If . I thought he knew more than I did"
 Newman was accepted as the twelfth tentative juror and it be- came the turn of Prosecutor Charles ?. Taft, IT., to exercise a peremp- tory challenge.
 He excused Joseph C. Dury, in- surance salesman seated two days ago.
 With Newman. the second special venire was exhausted, and Arthur Gear, florist first on the third ve- nire was called. He opposed capital punishment and passed on. He was the fortieth of - venremen called to express that conviction.

 Refused To Answer Questions
 He was placed under bond after he had refused to answer questions before the grand jury inquiring into the jury tampering charge. on the ground of possible self incrimina- ton.
 Day and Clark are accused by the government with being the men to whom detectives of the William J. Burns agency reported after sha- dowing jurors in the Fall Sinclair case which finally ended up in a nistriai and the resulting investiga- tions now in progress.
