—_— REMLS HAY MO * GNE TESTMONY Appearance of Former Rum King on Stand Now Seen Doubtful. By the Assoclated Press, CINCINNATI, December 3.—Doubt that George Remus would testify erept into his murder trial for the first time today. It appeared when George Connors, closest ally in the gigantic syndicate which won Remus the title of “king of bootleggers,” concluded a four-hour recital covering a two-yvear period when into his former leader's ear was | poured a steady stream of calumny against the wife he slew (in Eden Park here last October 6. Connors testified he first made Remus aware of many of the attacks upon Mrs. Remus' fidelity, heard others tell him tales new and old, and, after each bit of tattling, saw Remus give way to “outbursts of rage,” which finally convinced him his old leader was insane. Tells of Plots. Connors’ testimony today concerned alleged plots by Mrs. Remus and Franklin L. Dodge, jr., to slay Remus, to have Remus deported, and to mulct him of his illicit liquor fortune. There were other reports of Mrs. Remus and Dodge together here and there aboit the country, and of two oceasions when Remus, housed in the same hotel, sought to slay them. Less than 10 minutes of the court session was left when direct examina- tion of Connors was concluded with his statement that “all these things made me form the opinion that Mr. Remus was insane.” The prosecution seized upon the brief Interval with avidity. Hurling questions at Connors in an accusing tone and in a voice which at its best rivals Remus' roar, Walter K. Sib- bald, assistant prosecutor, hurriedly built up a picture of Connors as a former bootlegger, an ex-convict, a man still in the whisky business who had resorted to the subterfuge of legal possession to get whisky into the il- Jegal market, and the associate of bootleggers. 8ibbald fought strenuously to send the jury away to its day and a half of inmgmurement with something fresh in “its mind other than the dolorious, mis- treated and insane love slayer Remus had been pictured by Connors. Appearance in Doubt. “At least all of Monday,” replied Prosecutor Charles P. Taft, 2d, n asked how much longer cross exam- indtion of Connors would require. “We shall make it very thorough upon the assumption that Remus will not appear as a witness.” “1 cannot say for sure now,” Charles H. Eiston, co-counsel with Remus, said about Remus’' appearance as a witness. It was the first time he had wavered from a positive statement that Remus would follow Connors, after which the defense soon would rest its case, *We could have rested two or three days ago,” he said. “I am not in full charge of this case.” recalled that he was called upon to imake the defense’s opening state- ment “upon 10 seconds’ notice,” and added that “anything can happen at any time.” today expressed conviction that Remus would not be a witness. It was his plan to use Dodge, he said, only in the event the trend of the defense’s case made it necessary. Dodge Worked on Case. Dodge, former Department of Justice agent assigned to prohibition work, worked up the case which sent crash- ing Remus’ bootleg kingdom. After the' dethroned “King of Bootleggers” ‘was sent to the penitentiary, Dodge ‘was alleged in the defense's opening lement to have begun an assoclation with Mrs. Remus which drove Remus insane. Cross - examination of Connors brought out that while Remus de- serted the law to turn bootlegger, Connors left the internal revenue serv- ice for the same purpose. Connors denled Blanche Watson had been or was in the boo!lewn‘ business. Connors, Miss Watson, Remus and George Klug, who drove the death car the morning Mrs. Remus was slain, | were alleged by the State to have conspired to kill Mrs. Remus and to|g have appointed Remus executioner.

By Radio to The Star. | GENEVA, December 3.—Gatherings | of the League of Nations have their important social side and the Russian delegates, Maxim Litvinoff and Anatol Lunatcharsky, by bring their wives with them have done much to enhance Soviet prestige. Mme, Lunatcharsky aroused quite a flutter of interest in Geneva's sus- ceptible diplomatic circles. She is a pretty, well dressed actress of the Moscow Art Theater, and when she made her flist appearance at the pre- liminary disarmament conference, sit- ting among the secretaries of the Rus- sian delegation, more than one emi- nent diplomat at the horseshoe table cast an appraising eye in her di-| rection. | Adjust Monocles. | Monocles also have been adjusted | carefully in the direction of Mme. Lit- vinoff, who formerly was Miss Ivy Low, niece of a titled English author. Mme. Litvinoff not only is charming but talented. During the sessions she amused herself by drawing pencil sketches of Lord Cushenden, the giant white-headed leader of the British delegation, who resembles John Bull physically even more, if possible, than mentally. Those, however, who expected to find M, Litvinoff looking like a car- toonist’s conception of a Bolshevik are disappointed. The Soviet delega- tion’s chief, with pertly physigue and chubby, clean shaven cheeks framing a bland smile, might sit as a model for Mr. Babbitt. Will Depart Soon. The Russians will not remain here, either to parley with Sir Austen Chamberlain or to squabble with Marshal Pilsudski. M. Litvinoff told the writer that the whole delegation would depart in a day or two. He declared that any overtures toward a resumption of relations with Great Britain must come from London. Marshal Pllsudski, who is coming hot- foot from Warsaw to tell the council that Lithuania and not Poland is responsible for the tense situation in Eastern Europe—and incidentally to provoke a dramatic scene with the Russians—will be disappointed to find his adversaries have abandoned the eld. Thelr departure will permit relaxa- tion of special police measures, Geneva's usual chautauqua-like atmos- phere has been surcharged with apprehensiveness since the Russians’ arrival, due to the clanking and tramping of guardians of the law. The approaches to the palace have been closely guard and the public rigorously excluded. Even the newspaper correspondents, who nor- mally are emcouraged to roam freely and enjoy unusual privileges, have been obliged to procure special cards bearing their photographs, taken by a League photosrapher. ‘Whether the Swiss authorities be- lieved the Soviet intention was to unleash the long-awaited world revolu- tion at this session, or merely desired to avoid all risk of having another Soviet delegate assaswinated, as was the case four years ago, cannot be learned. THE SUNDAY Bill Would Bar Academy Graduates From War_ail Dy the Associated Press. A bill to bar West Point and An- napolis graduates from holding either the post of Secretary of War or Séc- retary of the Navy will be introduced in Congress this week by Represent- ative McClintic, Democrat, Oklahoma. on the House naval committee. He said yesterday that the founders of the Nation had taken “great care to provide that a civillan represent- ative of the rank and file of the people should be at the head of each govern mental department” to serve as Qhe Spirit of Christmas is most happily ex- pressed in Music Navy Posts in Cabinet check against a possible improper balance. The late Secretary of War Weeks was an Annapolis graduate, Mr. McClintic said, and that it will be “remembered in the Mitchell case that he took a position against the viewpoint of at least 90 per cent of those who finance the Government.” “Secretary Wilbur, another gradu- ate of Annapolis, has recently estab- lished a precedent,” he added, “that any one fn the service giving out truthful information of interest to the | public, concerning inside conditions, ¢ill be punished.” g % > HOMERL KITT (1330 G Strect N.W, \ h YOU will have a wonderful advan- | tage in selecting your Christmas ” | Piano, now.
