 B|G FIGHT AHEAn
Prosecutor Seeks to Prevent His
 Being Freed

Lima. Ohio, March S1 P-De- elared sane yesterday by the court Of appeals, George Remus, former bootleg leader and slayer of his wife, .oday still seemingly had a fight fac Ing him before he is released from The state hospital for the insane here.
 The appellate court by a two to one decision held him mentally com. petent and granted him writ Of habeas corpus to liberate him from .he hospital where he has been since January after he was acquitted of The murder of his wife on grounds bf insanity.
 Barriers to his immediate release however. were immediately erected when F. NJ. Botkin, Alen county prosecutor. set to work on a motion to the state supreme court asking q ttay of execution. He planned to- day to seek new trial and if that tails announced he could take the notion at once into the supreme sourt.
 Efforts to obtain Remus' speedy seease on the basis of the court S decision failed yesterday when Bot sin refused to sign the journal en- try presented by attorneys for tho once powerful bootleg chief. Bot Ein has two days, under the rules sf the court. to sign the journal en- ;ry. These two days, however. do lot become effective until after a

motion for new trial is made and it appeared therefore that Remus probably would spend at least sev- eral days more in the hospital.
 Remus killed his wife, Imogene last Oct. 6. at Cincinnati as she was on her way to court to press an ac- iion for divorce. He surrendered and at his trial pleaded temporary maniacal insanity" After a month of testimony and argument in which Remus acted as his own chief coun- sel, the jury returned a verdict oi acquittal after e0 minutes delibera. tion. The finding declared him in- sane.
 In the sanity hearing that follow. ed few days later before Judge William Lueders in probate court Rcmus was> again adjudged insane and ordered committed to the hos. pital. A new hearing was denied and shortly after he instituted the action for the habeas corpus writ.
