Remus case to appeal insanity commitment in Cincinnati court
Proceedings in the Common Pleas Court focused on the writ of habeas corpus seeking Remus release after the judge ordered him committed to Lima state hospital for the mentally insane. Attorneys argued the probate court lacked jurisdiction and the signatures of physicians. If granted, error proceedings and a possible stay of commitment were requested as Remus and attorney Elston prepared further action.
