RENLS CARETARER TELLS NEW STORY Witness Says Slayer Was in Charge During Time Home Was Stripped. By the Associated Press, CINCINNATI, November 30.—Re- moval of the furniture from George Remus’ Price Hill mansion here, cited by one witness as the thing which sent Remus off on an insane tangent which ended in the slaying of his estranged wife, was said by another witness today in the Remus murder trial to have been done while the defendant himself was in personal charge of his property. ‘Willlam Mueller, for eight years caretaker-watchman at the Remus show place, admitted under cross-ex- amination by Charles P. Taft, II, county prosecutor, that the expensive furnishings and statuary were sent away while he was on a three-week vacation. Remus himself had charge of the property at the time, Mueller added. Crazed by House Stripping. Benton S. Oppenheimer, former judge of the Superior “ourt and for- merly counsel for Remus in the divorce suit pending when Remus last October 6 shot and Killed his wife, vesterday traced Remus’ alleged in- sanity to the time emus discovered that his mansion had been stripped. Oppenhzimer @oseribed how Remus wandered apparently dazed from rocm to room of his 31-room house. Femus wrung his hands and uttered cries of amazement that his wife could have treated him in that manner while he served a peniteniiary sentence for violation of the prohibition law. Muel- ler admitted that some of his testi- mony of yesterday concerning things the defense pleads drove Remus in- sane had not been relayed to Remus. Mueller said he had seen Franklin L. .Dodge, jr., three times at the Remus home and that twice he was driving Remus’ automobiles. Didn’t Tell Remus. Today he stuck by that part of it as having been relayed to the de- fendant, but he admitted under Taft’s cross-examination he had not told Remus Dodge tried to hide his identi- ty nort that Dodge had dodged behind a motor car when Mueller approached. Judge Chester R. Shook warned that the unruly scenes of yesterday were not to be repeated. The lawyers repeatedly got out of control yester- day in angry exchanges. Judge Shook ruled at the opening of court this morning that hereafter no witness would be permitted to testify concerning things which might have affected Remus’ mind unless the witness sald he himself had told Remus those things. - ‘Will Address Business Men.

Taking advantage of the unseason- able warm weather, employes of the trees and parkings department of the District are making unusual progress for this period of the year in planting new trees, it was announced today by Clifford L. Lanham, superintendent. The department has just completed setting out saplings on several of the streets recently widened, Mr. Lana- ham said, and now plans are being made to plant about 1,800 trees along Georgia avenue and in Takoma Park. This project, he explained, will practi- cally exhaust the department’s nursery stock, and when Spring planting be- gins trees will have to be purchased from private nurseries.
