70 Witnesses.

COLUMBIA CITY. Ind. Dec lO.-The

who is charged with the murder OF Leroy
Lovett, visited the scene of crime, near
Atwood today. Attorneys for both prose
cution and defense accompanied the
jurors.
The State having rested its case. the
defense today prepared to put twenty
five witnesses on the stand in an effort
to sunder the web which the prosecution
sought to weave about Fred Decker. his
mother and brother Cal and Virgil in
proof of an alleged insurance murder
plot. Seventy five witnesses were placed
on the stand by the State and among the
last of these was one who testified that
Fred Decker had approached him for a
loan Of $500 to make payment on the PIT
man farm which he contemplated pur-
chasing. This testimony was designed
to support the contention that It was the
desire to get money to buy the farm chat
prompted the Decker family to enter into
the alleged insurance plot.

Tired Married Man s Load
Lightened by Income Tax
Change in LdIU ALIOJUs Exemption of $500 for
Each Dependent.

Every year at about this time thou
sands Of bewildered citizens being to fuss
and fume and worry about their income
tax returns, and this year there probably
viii be even more than the usual amount
OF worry because Of the changes made
in the tax law during the last year.
Probably the most important change
affecting the man of moderate income is
in the exemptions Under the 1921 act a
married man with net income Of 5000
and less is entitled TO an exemption OF
$500. Under the revenue act Of 1918
this exemption was limited to $1,000. The
revenue act of 1921 also provides for each
person dependent on the taxpayer if
such person is under Is years Of age or
Incapable Of self support because mental
/ ~ or physically defective-an exemption
OF $500 The exemption under the reve-
nue. act Of 1918 was 5000 for each such
dependent. Thus, a married man with
two dependents, whose net income for
/ 1921 was 5000. will pay this year tax
OF S6S compared with S1O4 on the same
income for 1920
LAW DEFINES
DEPENDENTS
The exemption Of s., 500 applies also to
| the head Of a family whose net income
for 1927 was $1,000 or less, an increase
or 5000 compared with the 1918 act. A
T head OF family. as defined by present
Treasury regulations, IS "a person who
actually supports and maintains in one
/ household one or more individuals who
are closely conne' ted with him by blood
relationship, relationship by marriage. or
by adoption. or whose right to exercise
family control and provide for these de-
pendents Is based upon some moral or
/ legal obligation"
The normal rate of tax, per cent on
