ury.' and other high ofilcials and for
mer of1cials Of the Treasury Depart
ment, alleging improper administration
of the income tax laws, has been dis
missed by Federal Judge Charles I.
Dawson of the western district of Ken
lucky, according to word received here
today by Elmer L. Trey. one Of the de-
PENDANTS.
The judge ruled that the petition
failed to state a cause Of action and
added that none can be stated under
the statute under which plaintiffs at
tempt to proceed" The suit was filed
by Moody Boyd. former liquor store
keeper -gauger. 'on behalf Of the United
States"
Judge Dawson upheld a demurrer filed
by Robert H. Lucas, former collector Of
internal revenue. and j. H. McMurtry,
acting internal revenue agent in Ken
tucky, two of the defendants. and then
extended his ruling to cover the charges
against the other defendants, who, in
addition to Mills and Trey, included
David Burnet. former commissioner of
internal revenue. and Arthur A. Ballan-
tine, former Undersecretary Of the
Treasury.
The accusations by Boyd revolved
about alleged failure OF William r.
Knelbelkamp Of Louisville to pay taxes
on allegedly illegal whiskey sales in
1919. The amount sued for was double
the amount of the alleged unpaid taxes.
1t was charged in the suit that Bur-
net, Trey, McMurtry and Lucas initiated
a scheme to "circumvent the laws of the
land In order to relieve the said Knebel-
kamp from payment Of said taxes" and
that Mills and Ballantine approved Of
the "connivance."

kamp made profits in excess Of 81 .000,-

state to try William Mason, charged
with completely in the machine gun
Staying of indianapolis Police Ser
geant Lester Jones.
Starting the second day of the
trial with nine men tentatively
seated, the state was about to fill
the twelfth chair as the noon re-
cess neared.
A dozen prospective jurors were
questioned during the morning, with
two accepted, one peremptorily
challenged and the remainder eX-
cused for cause. Scruples against
capital punishment brought dis
missal of the majority of jurors.
Challenge Is Used
The challenge was used against a
prospective juror whose nephew had
been indicted for murder in Ham
ilton circuit court.
Il do not look for the jury to be
completed until late tomorrow, :"
Marion county Prosecutor Herbert
E. Wilson said today. The case
will be recessed until Monday to-
morrow afternoon, with Saturday
used for the regular court business. !"
Pace of the tritl was expected to
be slowed during the examination
by Floyd Christian and Ralph
Waltz, local attorneys, appointed to
defend Mason.
Defense to Make Fight
1t is certain that the defense will
not accept the jury passed by The
state, in its entirety, without an at
tempt to eliminate several of the
talesmen who answered the queS-
ton on the death penalty with
alacrity.
The trial opened yesterday after
noon after Mason had announced
he preferred to stand trial, instead
OF pleading guilty and following the
lead of George Schwartz and Fred
Adams, who were sentenced to life
imprisonment Tuesday by Marion
Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker.
Two other members of the alleged
gang which shot and killed Ser
geant Jones in an attempted hold
up of the Peoples Motor Coach
Company garage in indianapolis,
Feb. 7. are awaiting trial.
Dean to Be Tried Later
Harold Thompson is held in Jail
here, following his motion for a
separate trial, made yesterday after
he had been brought here from In
dianapolis by Marion Sheriff Charles
(BucR Sumner. 1t is expected that
Thompson will testify against
Mason, or, at least, a purported
statement by Thompson will be in
troduced in Mason's trial.
Edward (Foggy) Dean, alleged
trigger man in the Staying, will be
tried in Marion criminal court, after
MaSon's trial is ended. The sixth
man indicted in the murder. Edward
Miller, has been exonerated and the
charge against him will be nolled.
