REMUS SAYS HE WILL NOT TESTIFY Former Rum King Asks Court to Cite Correspondent for Contempt. ated Press. ATI, December 5.—George the former “king of bootleg- gers,” served notice upon Judge Ches- ter R. Shook at the renewal of his murder trial today that he would not testify in his own behalf. Remus was addressing the court in connection with a motion he had made to investigate what he termed libelous statements in a news story sent to a New York newspaper last week. Remus asked that the correspondents who filed the story be cited for contempt of court. Remus asserted to Judge Shook that no statement the defendant had made since the opening of the trial could be questioned. “I now wish to apologize to the court and the prosecution for one promise I made, however,” roared Remus in a voice which indicated he had thrown Off the effects of a heavy cold. “This defendant will not take the witness stand.” Prosecutor Charles P. Taft, 2d, arose and defended the mnewspaper cor- respondent and defied Remus to take the witness stand for cross-examina- tion upon news story statements that Remus had given out. Judge Shook overruled the motion. “I have read this article and take it as no reflection on the court.” Charles H. Elston, co-counsel with Remus, said Remus’ only reason for refusing to testify was because the things he had intended to say already had been stated. Remus’ motion named Dudley Nich- ols of the New York World news serv- ice. Nichols reproduced the 1,500- word statement given out through a press agent last Saturday by Ruth Remus, daughter of the slain woman and adopted daughter of Remus, which analyzed rulings of the court and concluded that Remus would not testify, and cited reasons why Remus would address the jury in a final argu- me‘l;lt_ to save himself from the electric Remus’ motion remarked that his adopted daughter could not have been the author of the statement credited to her and demanded an investigation to establish the identity of the author.
