He Spent Millions Bribing Officials In The Harding Administration, And He Created A Roaring Lifestyle That Epitomized The Jazz Age Over Which He Ruled. That Is, Before He Came Crashing Down In One Of The Most Sensational Murder Cases In American History: A Cheating Wife, The G-man Who Seduced Her And Put Remus In Jail, And The Plunder Of A Bourbon Empire. Remus Murdered His Wife In Cold-blood And Then Shocked A Nation Winning His Freedom Based On A Condition He Inventedâ??temporary Maniacal Insanity.
