u. S. APPEALS TAX CASE
AGAINST BANK RECEIVER
High Maryland Court Asked to
Collect $16,16 Income Levy in
Baltimore Trust Litigation.

By the Associated Press
ANNAPOLIS. October THE State
Court of Appeals was asked by the
Federal Government yesterday to COL
lect income taxes Of S16,l80 from
John D. Hospelhorn, deputy State
bank commissioner, as receiver for
the Baltimore Trust Co.
The Federal claim, which seeks 6
per cent interest on the tax from
November IL, 1885, was instituted by
M. Hampton Magruder, collector of
internal revenue for Maryland, in
Baltimore City Circuit Court. Ma
gruder appealed Judge Eugene
ODunnes decision sustaining Hos
pelhorn's objections.
Hospelhorn contended the addi-
toned taxes, asked for 1880, 1881 and
1882, were rentals received by the
trust company as trustee and did not
constitute taxable income.
Homer r. Miller, special Internal
Revenue Bureau attorney, said the
trust company failed to report as tax
able income total of S1l2,499 1t re-
eeived from rentals.

DAVIDSON CLUES
SOUGHT IN EFFECTS
Friends of Slain Man Are
Questioned to Find Out
His Habits.

The inquiry into the strange mur-

centered on denomination of the
Washington attorneys personal ef-
fects and the questioning of his
associates in an effort to turn up
some clue to the identity Of the man
who ditched Davidson's roadster on
the Washington Fredericksburg high
way Sunday night while fleeing the
bcene of the Staying.
Police have questioned at least
four men who are not regarded as
Hefinite suspects, but who. it was
hoped, might be able to shed some
light on the case. So far investigators
have been unable to learn if the
murderer was an acquaintance of
his Victim or merely a casual hitch
hiker picked up on the highway.
. Sergt. E. j. McDermott of the
Virginia State police, who is in
charge of the inquiry, returned to

) McDermott also hoped to learn
3rom local trust company if Da-
wilson left a will. He was supposed
to have had a considerable invest
ment in stocks.
: The possibility Davidson might
have been the victim of blackmailers
was examined and discarded by in
.vestigators after Davidsons Cancelled
checks failed to show the expenditure
tof any but petty sums which could
not be accounted for, McDermott said
Z Sergt. McDermott is still convinced
the key to the mystery lies in the
hands of Pennsylvania motorist who
rpicked up the murder suspect at Tri-
angle, Va. in rainstorm Sunday
might beside Davidsons ditched car
The Pennsylvania probably stopped
for the man because he had seen the
wrecked car and believed him only a
motorist in distress
Police have broadcast an appeal to
the motorist in hope of obtaining a
description of the murderer, and ad-
ditional information of his movements
after the crime.
