TIME UP, REVENUE
 AGENT CLOSES SHOP
CFrom Thursdays Dailyl

Prescott people who neglected to file their income tax returns yester- day are now liable to penalty assess ments by the government was the statement of F. L. Nichol, internal revenue agent, who has been at the local revenue collectors office during the illness of Deputy Internal Reve- nue Collector George NJ. Dickson. Agent Nichol yesterday evening shut up shop, and tomorrow will be on his way to the towns in the north.
 Penalties imposed for failure to file income tax returns within the proper time limit, are an assessment of not more than $1,OO0, and 25 per cent of the full tax due. Deputy Collector Dickson was much improved yester- day, and will probably be able to re- turn to the office within the next day or two, where he will be on hand to interview delinquents.
 Those who should have filed re- turns were: Single men having an income of $1,000 or more per year, and married men with an income of $2,000 or more per year, whether their exemptions were more than their income or not. Single men earning less than $1,000, and married men earning less than $2,0O0, are not required to make return.
 This does not mean $l,O00 or s. 600 or less," Agent Nichol pointed out. Tt means less than $l,000 or $2,OOO. Anything above $999.99 for a single man and $1,99999 for mar ried man, means that they must file returns"

rFrom Thursdays Daily,

Leo Eastburn is not guilty of the felony of non-support
 That was the decision of a jury wlich returned its verdict in superior court early yesterday afternoon.
 The trial of the Eastburr non-sup- port case involved the remarkable in stance of two county officials on the witness stand. One of these was John L. Sullivan, county attorney, wha was called from his seat at the prosecution table to assume the wit ness chair and testify in behalf of the man he was prosecuting as part of his lawful duties Mir Sullivan's ex- animation by C. C. Norton, chief of defense counsel, was brief. In gen. .eral, it was this:
 Q. Did you receive as county at torney, a letter from the defendant during the year 1921?
 A. Yes.
 Q. Was it ill reference to the child?
 A. I do not remember the con- tents. In these non-support cases, I get many letters, usually containing some excuse
 Mir Norton: q move that be stricken as not responsive to the question:
 The court: Tt will be stricken; jury instructed to disregard it."
 Mir. Sullivan quickly produced the letter at the request of MT Norton, and the document, a request from Eastburn for news of his wife's and baby's whereabouts, and an expres- sion of his hope to be able to get a job soon and provide for the child, was admitted in evidence Emma Shull, chief deputy clerk, was also a defense. witness.
 Argument was begun by Deputy County Westervelt, who declared that Eastburn's plea of having no job was insincere, else he would not have remained in Los Angeles where it had been said l3O,OOO men were un- employed.
 MT. Norton argued for the defense that Eastburn had sincerely tried to get job. No jury, he said, except one composed of 12 hard-boiled coun- ty attorneys, would convict a man in his predicament. Just the moment he

IF TOm 1nUr6St-V-S OdilIJ
 A. w. Simmons last evening was convicted by a jury of having failed to provide for his wife. This marks the first conviction of the present jury session.
 The prosecution of this case was in the hands of Deputy County At torney R. B. Westervelt, and the defense was handled by Lyman & Renee, appointed to the task by the court. Hearing of evidence, argu- ment to the jury and instructions of the court were so swift and took so little time, that the jury was able to go out and find its verdict and then return it before 6 o'clock.
 Mrs. Simmons was the chief prose- cution witness. Simmons himself was the only defense witness. Ac- cording to his story, he had sought work but had been unable to find it during short period, during which he had gone to Bouse. Returning, ne found his wife employed and un- willing to rejoin him in their married life. He then. obtained work at the Grant hotel at $1OO a month, but had only been at work a short time when he was arrested on a non-sup- port charge.
