The defense contended the rea- I recall, however, that Trusedale testified he previously had apprised Remus of the Referring to Remus' behavior after the killing. Dr. Wolfstein pointed out that Remus showed none of the symptoms vhicn alienists consider must inevitably follow a period of delirium. Romaino Fielding, one ofthe popular motion picture stars of 13 years ago. died in Hollywood yesterday in comparative obscurity, following an unsuccessful "comeback" attempt In St.

Louis. Infection following extraction of a tooth caused death, a few hours after Fielding had been taken to a hospital when his condition became serious. He was about 55 years old. He is survived by his widow, the former Miss Naomi Sachs of St. Louis, and a young son, Itomaine Fielding Jr.

Fielding was a romantic actor of the Maurice Costeilo and Francis X. Bushman type and, like them, he lived to see his star of popularity eclipsed by the younger generation of motion picture actors. He was a pioneer in the movie field, and before that he had been on the stage. Once he wrote of "my old days," when he was paid $40 a week and $1000 was spent on billboard advertising: "I remember how I used to strut in front of the theaters and billboards and look at my name and picture there and say, 'I'm some star." But I couldn't eat the paper." In addition to playing the leading male parts in his movies. Fielding directed the casts.

In a way his profile was as familiar to cinema patrons of that day as that of Richard Dix is today. He appeared in society dramas filmed by the old Lubin company at Philadelphia, in Westerns made by himself at Phoenix, and in assorted dramas produced around Los Angeles. Romance in His Marriage. A two-reel Western film In which Fielding had the leading role of an impetuous young Mexican-was shown in St. touis in 1912 and resulted six years later in marriage.

Naomi Sachs, -young daughter of Dr. William P. Sachs, then president of Walther College, saw the picture and began a correspondence with him which resulted in their marriage in 1918 at Anniston. where Fielding was stationed ith the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army Intelligence Department. There was a difference of nearly 20 years in thir ages.

On his return to Hollywood. Fielding found that conditions had changed. Where once movies had been produced at a cost of a few thousand dollars, now "million-dollar superfeaturc-s" were the vogue. He was unable to finance in no great demand for starring role. Fitted l) Fgjptian P.iiilding.

Seeking financial backing, he came to St. Iouis and organized the General Film Manufacturing Corporation with himself as president and general manager.

"Remus was asked to enumerate all persecutions which had continued since the killing of his wife.

He recounted first, the accusation of being accessory to the murder of an Indiana Sheriff, and second, the sending to him of poisoned candy." Asked at what time he began to entertain the idea of killing Mrs. Remus, ho replied it began with the discovery of a plot, and. after special effort to fix the date of this discovery, said it was at least before his leaving the Atlanta penitentiary Sept. 2. 1925.

Asked when he first made threats against. Mrs. Remus, he said he made a threat to "get even" shortly after taking possession of his home in Price Hill. Asked to describe any sensation which he believed indicated that he was insane, he replied that he felt a halo about his head for eight or 12 months before the killing. This sensation was intermittent.
