ed warning- from the bench, today
that continuation of his partlcipa-J
tlon as counsel for himself in his
trial for uxoricide depended upon
his adherence to rulings of the
court.
Remus clashed spectacularly
and wordily with Charles P. Taft,
2nd, Hamilton county prosecutor.
and continued a one-elded debate
after Judge Chester R. Shook had
rendered a decision. -. He waa
brought . up short; however, with
this from the court: ' ;
Now, Mr. Remus, if you are
going to remain in this case, as an
attorney, you must abide by the
ruling of the court."- , ,
Remus: sat 4own with a mut
tered "I beg your pardon; your
honor. , ; -
Attorneys said that the warning
did not necessarily consider Re
mus' status of. a disbarred attor
ney. - -v
For the fourth time in the four
days of the tedious period of ex
amination of veniremen, Remus,
provided the fire works, which lift
ed the court session . from ' dreary,
routine . to the status of vivid
drama. .
George Awrey, 67 year old re
tired buyer of oil property, waa

Remus fired questions, at Mr. Aw
rey which depicted, for .the full
Jury box Remus estimation of bis
position.

would It?" Remua asked in low
and sincere tones. I
"No, was the response.
"And the fact that I am an ex-
bootlegger, an 'ex-convlct, and f a
disbarred lawyer," Remua boomed.
with his face grimacing and a tone
of scorn in his voice as he an
alysed himself, "la that going to
Influence youT; Are you going t
charge that against met" , ' f
"No," came again from the ve
nireman. ...
It was when Remus softly asked
the aged venireman if he would
not consider all circumstances sur
rounding the case that Taft leaped
to his feet with an 'objection.
. Heated exchanges "between the
two included the prosecutor's de-1
maud that ' the jury' be sent out
and Remus assertion tnat a sug
gestion for such, a maneuver waa
"ridiculous."
Judge Shook got control of the
situation and delivered his ulti
matum to the defendant-counsel.
