\ DODGE IS ACCUSED AT REMUS HEARING Caretaker Says Former Agent Visited Slain Wife | While Husband Was Away. Ry the Associated Pres: C1NCINNATI, first of the scand ¥ amus pleads drove him ins reinted from the witn € murder trial for uxorcide here today. ~ame in by virtue of a ruling of swage Chester R. Shook that evi- dences of a diseased mind in Remus having been ished by the testi-| mony of lay witnesses, the causes for the insanity might be recited. For the first time the names of Frankdin L. Dodge, jr., former De- partment of Justice agent, and the womun Remus shot to death, his estranged sa-ond wife, Imogene, wer mentioned together from the witn stand. ovember 29.—The lous tales George ne was Seen at Remus Home. Three times they were seen together | at the Remus home in the absence of | Remus, ran the story, and upon two of the occasions Dodge tried to hide | his identity. Twice Dodge was driv- ing expensive automobiles owned by the man he had caused to be sent 1o the penitentiary for violation of the prohibition law, said the testimony. “Did you ever see Franklin L Dodge at the Remus home?” Charles . Elston, co-counsel with the defend- ant, who acts as his own attorney asked of William Mueller, the da, opening witnes: “Yes. sir; I did,” responded Mueller. Mueller, for the last ei years | waretaker at the Remus $75,000 man- | sion here, was making his fourth ap- pearance in the witness hox. | An objection by Prosecutor Charles P. Taft, 2d, cut into the story of Muel- | ler. The jury was sent out. | Taft asserted that the witness and | all others should be restricted to state- ments they had communicated to Re- mus. Judge Makes Ruling. Judge Shook’s final ruling was: *“Facts, whether proven true or false, if brought to the defendant's | knowledge previously to October 6, are competent testimony, but the facts must have been communicated. It is the burden of the State to prove mur- der and the burden of the defense is to prove insanity.” “How is the State to protect itself against statements from witnesse: later proved not communicated asked Taft. The court said: “You may object when you wish.” ‘The argument ended, however, only when Elston gave his ‘“professional word” he would introduce as evidence only facts which had been communi- cated. A The jury was brought back ' and Mueller resumed the witness stand. Mueller proceeded to describe a mansion furnished completely when Remus was sent to prison and stripped bare upon his return. Doors and win- dows were spiked and Remus_gained éntrance through a window, Mueller said. A locksmith worked two days epening 30 or 40 doors. Taft moved that all of Mueller's testimony excepting that concerning occurrences in Remus' presence be stricken out. The decks' were cleared | for another long argument. The jury | was sent out for a 20-minute rest. RITES ARE TODAY. Frederick H. Kramer Buried in Glenwood After Services at Home. iamn-ared. Joseph F.

OKLAHOMA CITY, November 20.—Prince Willlam of Sweden escaped the embarrassment he finds usually results from “meeting a lot of people” here last night. The Arts and Science League of Oklahoma City had arranged a re- ception for the prince, who is mak- ing a lecture tour. Gov. Hen Johnston and Mayor Walter Dean were assigned places of honor. When the hour for the reception ed, only the primee and Miss Maxine Curreathers, a reporter, were present. They were the only persons to appear.

LIQUOR DISTILLERS SLASHING PRIGES Maryland and Virginia Pro- ducers Fighting.for D. C. Trede, Is Report. Liquor distillers in Maryland and | irginia have inaugurated a price- slashing campaignn in an affert to| hoost their sales here, and every ef- fort will be made to flood the Christ- | mas market of the Capital, according | reports hing the police from | “underground” sources. Moonshine—both corn and rye—is reported plentiful, and in the case of the latter, the Maryland distillers v quoting a price of $2.41 a gallon—with no explanation forth- coming as to the imposition of the extra cent. In the meantime, the police are re- doubling their vigilance, and while handicapped by being unagle to strike at the source of the supply, are at- tempting to maintain an_effective patrol on the roads leading into Washington. Several Seizures Effected. This watch, which has been par- ticularly productive recently, last night was responsible for the seizure of 576 quarts of corn, the two auto- mobiles in which it was being brought in, and the arrest of two men. Acting on Information that several loads of liquor were en route here from Charles County, Md., Sergt. Lit- tle and Policemen George C. Deyoe and Leo Murray last night waited on Nay- lor road, near the District line, and saw-a pilot car appear, but occupants of the car, it is believed, failed to see them and give a signal to cars follow- ing. AMembers of the squad went in pur- suit of the first suspected car that ap- peared and succeeded in seizing the car and arresting William Buckley, 23 vears old, 1826 Columbia road, one of its alleged occupants, holding him on porting" 288 quarts of corn liquor. driver of the car escaped. Second Car Captured. Twenty minutes later a second car avenue, alleged to have been the driver, is charged to cessful attempt to escape, He was captured and held on charges of reck- less driving. transporting and illegal | possession of intoxicants, when quarts also were reported found in the car. Careful watch is to be kept on roads leading to this city from southern Maryland, it is stated, and police offi- | cials hope the squad will largely re- | duce supplies of “Christmas cheer” in- | tended for hibulous Washingtonians.

In the hope of concluding its tor nado relief work by Friday, the Dis trict Chapter of the Red Cross today appealed to families in the devastated zone who may not have heen visited to communicate at once with head quarters Jlished in the lline Junior High School. While Miss Kdith Spray, In cl of the can forces, has tried 1o single out every case, it is known that a large vet made known their needs to the committee. These ave urged to send in their names before Friday night, for by that time the awards committec will have about completed its work. More Funds Needed. Maj. Gen. George Barnett, chalr. man of the District Chapter, today ap pmaled to the Washington public to contribute a few more thousands of dollars at least this week so that no case might be neglected. Since the awards committee has postponed ac- tion on es involving large sums un- til the last, he pointed out that funds now in hand are insufficient to re for all of these. Ten more aw were passed upon last night, involving a total of $2,100, Members of the committee were sur- prised when an old colored woman, who had previously been awarded $15 to repair slight damages to her home, walked in upon the meeting and re- turned $3 of the amount. She explain- | ed she had managed to get the work $12 and wanted to return done for as left for the benefit of some Gen. Barnett, “best illustrates the . cter of the persons we are try- ing to help. They are all self respect- ing people who are not looking for charity. Only necessity has compelled them to accept any award whatso- ever. It serves also to convince the committee in its belief that there is not the slightest evidence of graft on the part of any one applying for as sistance. Contribufi Are Lagging. Contributions to the tornado relief fund received at the Red Cross Chap- ter and The Evening Star hind yesterday's encouraging tots Only $260.30 was received in all, of which amount $137.30 was turned in by the Red Cross and $130 by The Star. A check for $100 from John Hays Hammond, received by The Star, was the largest contribution of th day. Total subscriptions to the relief | fund bring the amount to $6,440.85, or | 000 Unless, only about a fourth of the quota_set by the Red Cross. contributions are received in larger | amounts during the remainder of the week there will be a large deficit, when the final award is granted. Gen. Barnett last night addressed a meeting of the Midcity Citizens’ As. sociation at the Thomson School, Twelfth and L streets, at the request of President Driscoll. He spoke about the work of the Red Cross and was giverf assurances by Mr. Driscoll that the association would follow his lead in giving hearty support to the relief work of the organization as being worthy of the support of all citizens Contributions Are, Listed.
