Says Evidence Illegal.
Thomas Allen of Lincoln. chief
counsel for the defense. said the chief
argument on motion for a new
trial will be that the purported IN.
come tax reports introduced into
evidence by the government were IL
legally presented.
These reports showed that the com
pany lost large sums in operation
each year from 1917 to 1922. the
period while stock was being sold and
dividends paid.
THE law specifically states that In.
come tax returns cannot be introduced
without the express permission Of the
president of the United States said
Mr.. Allen. "The reports introduced
by the government were not guaran-
teed to be genuine anyway"

A. B. Waugh. representing the

corded during last years show.
"The wholesale business this year

Manager Waugh asserted that the
retail business Of the show was graft
flying. the actual sales being nearly
500.
''The people are buying cars this
year he added. THE actual num-
Der Of cars sold during an automobile
show Is an index of general business
conditions in the industry. The au-
tomobile man experienced some hard
knocks during the first half Of last
year. but this year is starting off
with much improvement.
Il was speaking to a truck dealer
at the show this afternoon and he
told me in all sincerity that his sales
during the first two months Of this

additional refinements and improve
ments in the cars exhibited. The price
tags indicated that the buyer this
