She said she arrived in a motor car at the scene just in time to see Mrs. Remus’ “crouch- ing, not just kneeling, on the side- walk, with a look of pain on her face.”’ Descriptive Words Barred. The defense objected success- fully to the young woman's de- scription of Mrs. Remus’ face, and also to her statement a moment later that Remus, ‘“‘a very calm man” walked toward his wounded wife and she retreated.

The third clerk eye-witness of the morning was introduced in Lewis Schultz, real estate dealer. who was driving the motor car in which the Misses Schultz and Stewart were riding.

For the greater part of his flight Giles would encounter ‘“‘medium good weather” with the winds mostly north and northeast all the way, the San Francisco Weather Bureau predicted. The flyer should not run into rains or atmospheric disturbances until the vicinity of the islands is reached. Loaded, his plane was expected to make about 90 mies an hour, gradually increasing its speed to 105 miles an hour as the fuel bur- den is lightened.

LOUIS GROUP Horsemen Arrange to Pur- . chase Clubhouse | and 12 1-2-Acre Tract on Den- ny Road for Headquarters A new $150,000 Riding and Hunting Club to bring the sport of fox hunting to St. Louis County has been organized by a group of St. Louis horsemen. They have completed plans for the purchase of a clubhouse and 12% acre tract on Denny road from Edward L. Bakewell, one of the organizers of the club, Adelbert von Gontard, a member, said today. The clubhouse was built as a residence by Bakewell on land ad- joining his place on Denny. road to the north, lying between the Bake- well estate and Yon Gontard’s. IRe- cently completed, it was offered for sale at $109,000. “We are holding a meeting to- night to discuss final plans," Von Gontard said. “We haven't elected officers yet. and everything is in a preliminary state, but I under- Stand stables are to be erected soon and negotiations are under way for a pack of hounds and to bring a master of hounds to the club.’ Still in Formative Statc. Bakewell confirmed the fact that a new riding and hunt club had been organized, but added: “Ev- erything is in a formative period and we can’t say anything definite as yet.” ‘° Those in touch with the organiza. tion say plans cal) for the purchase from eastern kennels of a pack of foxhounds at a cost of about $10,- 000. A master of hounds is to be brought here from the east to su- pervise care and training of the deze and arrangements for the hunts. The new club is expected’ § in some measure to absorb the pres- ent Bit an® Bridle Club, which has been largely associated with the cinder paths of Forest Park and participation in the annual horse shows at the Coliseum. Hitherto, St. Louis horsemen not equipped with private stables have kept their mounts at a co-operative sta- ble on Cakland avenue. Uniformed Hunts Planned. Aside from an occasional steeple- chase, local horsemen have not had any organized cross-country riding. The new club will lay its fox-hunt- | ing courses over the’ grounds of thembers or farmers of the victn- ity. paying for the privileges, it was explained by one closely agso- clated with the enterprise.

Justice Siddons himself hapded down the contempt ruling, which was based on /activities of the Burns agents in keeping the jury under surveillance, as well as on iremarks attributed to Kidwell, “Sinclair and the Burnses. In the case of Sinclair, it was charged by the District Attorney that he induced Henry Mason Day and Sheldon Clark, his associates, who also were named in the con- tempt order, to hire the Burns men to shadow the jury. W. Sherman Burns and Charles L. Veitsch of the Burns agenc\¥, also named, fig- ured in other parts of the citation. The objects sought by Sinclair, it is charged, were to spy upon the jurors, to bribe them, to intimidate and influence them and to do any- thing calculated to interfere with and impede them in the discharge of their duties. William J. Burns and W. Sher- man Burns were charged with pro- curing “the making of a false affi- davit purporting to show that a representative of the Department of Justice approached and held conversation with Norman L, Glas- cock,” one of the jurors in the case. The Burnses, it was set forth, knowing said affidavit to be false and without truth and fact, “had the affidavit subnfitted to the Court, intending thereby to provide evidence, such as it. was, that the United States of America, through one of its employes, had tampered with said juror,’’ Glascock, Activities of Detectives. It was also asserted the Burns operatives investigated carefully the financial affairs of John FP. Kern, inquiring particularly as to mortgages and other tncumbrances upon his home. The operatives also investigated the affairs of the brother or father of Juror Kidwell, reporting in writing that the broth- er’s or father’s place of business “was located on questionable prem- is¢s and that racing sheets were found in the trash thrown out of it wa sasserted. Vietsch was accused of having brought to Washington $1500 which he turned over to Charlies G. Ruddy, directing head of the Burns operatives “for the purpose of fi- nancing the preliminary steps” of the jury spying. William J. Burns, it was aseert- ed, while not an officer of the Burns Agency, received moneys and other benefits from holding 47 shares of the 60 shares of the Agency's capital stock owned by his wife. Not Waiting on Grand Jary. In making his move in the case, Gordon decided not to await the action of the grand jury.
