MAXEY GORDON
WASLOCKE UP
BY COURT ORDER


New York, Nov s1-(U.P.) =
Maxey Gordon, New Jersey beet
baron, and the Jury trying him on
charges Of federal income tax eva
sion, were brought out from behind
locked doors for resumption Of his
trial to-day.
Gordon, whose legal but lesser
known name Is Irving Wexler, was
locked up in the federal house Of
detention last night after federal
Judge Frank J. Coleman received
complaints that witnesses had been
intimidated.
The Jury was ordered removed
to Hotel McAlpin at the conclusion
OF each days session as a "precau-
tionary measure"
evading payment of more than
$500. 900 in income taxes in 1880
and 1881, was informed of the In
generation order at the conclusion
of yesterdays session. Judge Cole
man termed the order absolutely
necessary, despite the fact that
Gordon had been free since last
May when a Surety company pro-
vided a $4,000 bond.
Selection of the jury in two
hours time, enabled Chief Assistant
United States Attorney Charles e.
Dewey to outline his case.
Gordon, short, stocky and thin
haired, grinned broadly as the gov
eminent prosecutor charged that
his gross income listing of $500
in 1880 was '.just one-half Of what
he paid for his numerous hats dur
ing the year."
Dewey described Gordon's gigan-
tic beer business enterprises locat-
ed at Paterson, Union City and Ho-
boken, N. J. The government would
show, he promised, that Gordon
had received net profits of $1,000
coo in both years.
Although the tax paid on his
1880 reported income was only $40,
Gordon raised the ante in 1881,
when he learned that revenue
agents were on his trail, Dewey
said. After obtaining two extern
sions of time, he reported he had
received an estimated income OF
$4,000.
