GEORGE REMUS
GIVEN LIBERTY
Former Bootleg King Goes
Free From Asylum.
Rn limited Presa

BY Cnfted PTeSS
LIMA, Ohio, March 30-George
Remus, millionaire Cincinnati boot
logger, committed to the State Hos
pital for the Criminally Insane here
after he was acquitted of the mur-
der of his wife, Imogene, was free
today.
The former king of bootleggers
was committed to the asylum on
Jan. 6. Almost Immediately he be-
gan proceedings seeking his release,
charging he was never proved in
sane.
His latest effort was through a
petition for writ Of habeas corpus,
hearing on which was held several
weeks ago.
Six alienists testified Remus was
sane while two others-called by
States attorneys asserted he was
insane.
Three judges ruled on the case,
two ordering Remus freed and the
third dissenting.
Remus was acquitted Of the mur-
der of his wife last December. The
verdict made his commitment to
Lima mandatory, specifying, in
compliance with instructions from
the trial Judge, that if he were
acquitted it must be on "the sole
grounds Of insanity"
In a subsequent sanity hearing
in Probate Court, Remus was ad-
judged sane but was held "too dam
gerous to be at large" His removal
TO the asYlum followed.

RICHMOND, Ind, March 3d.
Finding of the body of Harry
Marsh, world war veteran, on the
roof of a shed back if his home
with a bullet wound in the forehead,
has provided Richmond with muir
der mystery.
Police are holding five persons
while investigating the case. They
are Florence Marsh, 81, the dead
mans bride of three weeks; her son
by a former marriage, Carl Breeze,
IL; Erma Dill, 26; Eva Killing, 10,
and Karl Holiday, So. All lived at
the house occupied by Marsh and
his wife.
Marsh and his wife, despite the
short span of their married life, had
quarreled, police say. 1t is believed
Marsh was shot by a person stand
ing on the steps at the rear of his
home. There were no powder marks
on his forehead, indicating, accord
ing to police, that the shot was not
fired at very close range.
None of the persons held so far
have given the police any informa-
ton that would lead to identifying
the slayer. Mrs. Marsh declares she
knows nothing of the circumstances
of her husbands death.

Just HOn1eSiCk
Collie Dog Returns to Old
Residence He Left
Year Ago.
1 YEARS absence from his Old

A YEARS absence from his old
IN home in indianapolis and
the kindly ministrations of a new
owner failed to erase the longing
for his former surroundings from
the brain of 'Laddie," a beautiful
collie dog.
Residents in the neighborhood
of Maple Rd. and Kenwood Ave,
entertaining 'Laddie" royalty to-
day.
Laddie for years was the pet Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Verne Getz and
their two daughters at 3817 Ken
wood Ave. A year ago Getz's work
took him to an Ohio city and
Mrs. Getz and the daughters took
an apartment to remain in the
city until the girls finished school
here. 1t was necessary to part
with Laddie, and ne was sent by
automobile to George Shilling in
Shelbyville, Ind, thirty miles
southeast.
Thursday afternoon a neighbor
went to her door and found Lad
die, exhausted, lying on the door
mat. The dog often used to doze
on neighbor's porches when he
tired of his own. His feet were
badly swollen.
A telephone call summoned his
old owners. They attempted to
take him to the apartment. But
Laddie would not go. He had been
lured out of the neighborhood
once and he wouldn't be a second
time. Instead he broke away and
ran to Public School 43, Capitol
Ave. and Fortieth ST., where he
used to wait for the Getz chill
dren twice a day.
Finally, the dog was brought
back to the neighbor's house and
induced to rest in a warm corner.
There he lay until this morning
when, recuperated, he bounded
out of doors to joyously investi-
gate his old hauntS in the neigh
bOrhOOd.

Republican party and secure an ad-
vantage in the coming presidential
election"
Must Stand Together
Senator Ladd replied that while
he thought there might be some
politics in this, as in everything
else that took place in Congress, he
was convinced by the evidence that
already had been secured that some
things about the naval oil leases
needed thorough investigation.
To this Hays replied, in sub
stance:
well, however that may be, the
time is coming very soon, if it is
not already here, when it is going
to be necessary for the members
of the committee on public lands
to line up on party basis to
protect the administration from un-
warranted attacks.
There are some Of us who want
to know where your are going to
stand when that time comes. Are
you going to be with your party or
with the opposition?"
The Senator resented this attempt
to put him on record and replied
with some heat that he did not re-
gard this as an issue that should
be settled in party lines.
Hays Takes New Tack
The evidence that had been de-
veloped, he felt, indicated that Sec
retary Fall had become suddenly
prosperous soon after the leases
were made to Sinclair and Doheny,
which would have to be explained
satisfactorily before he would be
ready to vote to close the inveSti-
cation.
Hays, seeing the Senator's irrita-
ton, took another tack, and, in the
course of a long, rambling CONVEX
sation, sought to convince him that
the evidence nd come from Falls
political enemies and should not be
regarded seriously.
This Senator Ladd refused to ad-
nit, and. after talk which must
have lasted an hour or more, he
left Hays cab, climbed into his car,
which had been following him all
over the city during the lengthy
conference, and drove home.
Tells of Interview
The next morning, still indignant
over what he felt was an improper
attempt to influence his vote in the
committee, Senator Ladd told Mr..
Macarthur what had taken place
and some time later informed Sena-
tor Adams, who was at that time
taking an active part in the Teapot
Dome hearings.
While there is some question in
the minds of both Senator Adams
and Mr.. Macarthur as to the date on
which these events took place, more
than four years ago, they are quite
clear that it was after Secretary
Falls sudden prosperity was re-
vealed, late in November, 1928, and

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 80.
The worlds record for sustained
airplane flight came back to the
United States today.
Eddie Stinson and Capt. George
Haldeman landed at 11:14 p. m, in
their big orange and black Stinson-
Detroiter monoplane, exceeding by
hour and IA minutes the record
held by Johann Ristoicz and Cornell
ius Edzard, German fliers. A mar
gin of one hour automatically gave
them the new record.
The exact previous record was So
hours, % minutes and 80 seconds,
established by the Germans last
Aug. 5, in a Junkers plane.
Aided by clear weather through
out the flight, Haldeman and Stin-
son had kept their plane cruising
slowly back and forth over a strip
of the Florida coast since 1887 a. m.
Monday. They maintained an alti-
tude of 1000 to 5000 feet during
most of the record flight.
Both men are outstanding figures
in aviation.
Stinson, now an airplane manu-
facturer at Detroit, is known as the
dean of f1iers." He has been a
pilot for fifteen years, and has had
approximately $4,000 hours in the
air.
Haldeman was the copilot Of Miss
Ruth Elder in their attempt to span
the Atlantic ocean last year in "The
American Girl" They we're forced
down off the Azores Islands and
picked up by the Dutch steamer
Berendrecht.

He came here in regard to
Mellon making a contribution
or loan" of $4,000 to pay off
the Harding deficit and taking
as collateral" Liberty bonds
Of equal amount which Hays al
ready had sent to Mellon.
This is in direct contradiction of
the recent testinony-of Hays that at
the time he saw Secretary Mellon
he had no interest in the Teapot
Dome investigation and knew moth
ing about it.
Possible Motive Shown
It also supplies a possible motive
for the desire of Sinclair and Hays
to place large blocks Of the bonds
obtained from the Continental
Trading Con. 'slush funds" in
the hands of secretary Mellon and
Secretary Weeks, two of the most
powerful figures in the Coolidge
cabinet, in the hope that their in
f1uence might be exerted to bring
the investigation of the naval oil
leases to an early close.
AS nearly as the time can be fixed,
Hays alleged attempt to influence
Senator Ladd took place in De-
cember, 1923, after it was revealed
by the testimony of Carl G. Magee
of New Mexico and others that AL
bert B. Fall, after being in default
on his taxes for more than ten
years, had, soon after the signing Of
the oil leases, suddenly displayed
signs of newly acquired wealth by
the purchase of adjoining ranch
property and the installation Of an
expensive hydro-electric plant.
Sharp Division in Group
There was a sharp division in the
committee as to whether Secretary
Fall should be compelled to disclose
under oath, the source Of his unex-
planned prosperity.
AS the committee then was con-
stituted, Senator Ladd's vote was
necessary to give a majority to
those interested in preventing a
thorough investigation of the oil
leases.
With his vote they were in posi-
ton to accept as satisfactory any
written explanation that Fall might
present.
without it, they were powerless
to block Senator WalSh'S deterIni-
nation to force Fall to testify under
oath.
Macarthur Tells Story
The story as told by Mr.. McAr-
thur and confirmed by Senator
Adams is as follows:
Late one afternoon Will H. Hays,
former Postmaster General and at
this time movie czar," telephoned
and asked whether it would be con-
venient for Senator Ladd to stop
by the White House and pick him
up, as there were some matters he
would like to discuss with him.
Senator Ladd readily agreed.
He had his boy drive him to the
White House and there found Hays,
with a taxicab in waiting. Hays
suggested that the Senator come
with him in the cab, where they
could talk privately and let the
Senator's car follow them until the
conference was ended.
The Senator again agreed, and
then followed a long ride all over
town, through the parks and down
the boulevards, with the Senator S
empty car tagging along behind.
Senator Ladd's humorous descrip-
ton of this aimless drive, according
to both Mr.. Macarthur and Senator
Adams, fixed the incident indelibly
in their memory.
After some preliminary conVersa-
ton, Hays opened up substantially
as follows:
"You know. Senator. this Teapot
Dome investigation is nothing but
politics. It is Just an attempt Of
the Democrats and insurgent
Republicans to discredit the
