 The indictment alleges that Wex- 1er's net income for 1890 was $1,- 427,531 on which $347.565 was due as tax and that his net income for the next year was $1S9. 159> on which $35,402 tax was due.
 There are four counts in the in dictment. charging the defendants with conspiracy to defraud the government out of Wexler's income taxes for the years 1880 and 1881, and with attempts to defeat and evade taxes for those years. The indictment further charges that Wexler and his alleged co-conspir- ators operated a liquor business in New York and Jersey during the years under investigation and it was understood this business ex- tended as far west as Chicago and St Louis.
 Furt hermore, the indictment charges the Eureka Cereal Rev. craze Company of Paterson. N. J.. is one of the breweries owned and operated by Wexler.
