STUDY TAX CASE

STUDY TAX CASE
Explaining their interest in thu
case. as being confined to evidence
pertaining to tax evasion entries
the Federal officials said that al
records examined by them were
turned over voluntarily by thu
Warning trio.
They admitted the possibility Of
other discriminating evidence ex
tSting among the personal effects
OF the Warnings, but added that
their office took no part in "cor
rupt practices such as bribery"
Both Elmer L. Trey, chief of the
intelligence unit, and John r. Cox
chief agent of the Washington
Office, placed little significance in
any "iSt" of names that might be
uncovered. The agents pointed
out that any racketeer could list
names of officials to be used as "a
bluff" and that such listings would
bear little weight as evidence In
obtaining an indictment on brib
cry charges.
Records examined by Federal
agents. it was explained, have
been returned to the owners.
Assistant District Attorney John
Wilson, who presented the evi
dence to the Grand Jury, denied
today that the investigation was
still to be continued, but added
that his office stood ready to re
sumo the investigation from the
bribery angle if any new evidence
was brought to light. Mr.. Wilson
endorsed the statement Of the Fed
eral officials that the investiga.
ton just completed had been con
fined to the income tax count. He
also concurred in the opinion that
a mere list of names" of little
value unless supplemented by more
concrete facts.
ANOTHER MEANS
Another possible means Of
learning the names of the District
officials to whom the Warrings
said they paid $3.50 a week, it was
explained, would be to offer the
trio immunity insofar as the brib
cry charge was concerned if they
would reveal the names. In filing
their income taxes the Warnings
claimed exemption for this weekly
amount of $3.50.
Also indicted in connection with
the investigation were Gordon L
r. Sadur, taX-accounting expert
and his brother-in-law, Henry L
Sherr, an employee of the account
ancy firm, as conSpirators.

Four D0hertyS
 Cruise Alaska
John, Jim, Joe and Pat on First Trip to North
 ,ha from California x oa

Seeing Alaska "a Ia freighter" is typical way of ''I'oughihg it" ac- cording to the Doherty's, all four of them, Jim, John, Joe, and Pat.
 The four boys three of whom are majoring in law at Santa Clara University, are passengers on the freighter Depere. The Doherty's are camera enthusiasts, but as yet haven't had much of chance to obtain any prize shots.' AS a mat ter of fact, they haven't seen much of anything to photograph. From California, through Oregon, Wash ington, and Vancouver, all that could be sighted was smoke" they stated, adding that from the time they left Vancouver for the north, all that could be seen was fog
 The four Dohertys will go as far as Kodiak and return with the De- pere. This is the first boat trip of any length they have experienced During their sojourn in the city to- day, the vagabonds visited with Dan Mahoney, whom they had become acquainted with while attending Santa Clara. tFep eif i2H

ACTION AGAINST MARGARET WHITE DROPPED IN SUIT
Court Lab els Williams White Accounting Case
 Guessing Contest"

Action against Mrs Margaret White as defendant in the civil suit brought by R. H. Williams ST, against Albert White, as agent of the Cash Bazaar, and Mrs. White, was ordered dismissed in Federal District court this afternoon by Judge George F. Alexander on grounds that she had no knowledge of the details of the business. Mrs. White had been on the stand dur ing the day and had testified to only a general knowledge of the transactions between Williams and White. f
 In his complaint Williams asks an accounting of the business, res cission of the contract he and White entered into for the purchase of the Seaview Apartments, rentals he claims due him from the SeavieW and title to the Seaview Apart ments. per
 According to the testimony, White and Williams started operation of the Cash Bazaar in 1929. In 1851 they entered into a partnership to purchase the SeavieW apartments for $8,400 on payment plan of $200 per month. Mrs. White testi- fled that the apartment payment was made from Cash Bazaar funds and that rentals from the apart ment were turned into the Cash Bazaar accounts In the spring of 1884, it was testified, Mrs. White started operating the Bon Marche, the business being built out of what was left of the stock of the Cash Bazaar, which she said, amounted to about $1,500 She gave the pres ent inventory value of the business as $7,000 Mrs. White said that one one oc- casion the revenue from the Sea- view was not sufficient to make the $200 pament on the investment and that funds were advanced by the then Cash Bazaar to make up the difference and also to pay some of the bills.
 In denying admission of certain bank statements offered by the plaintiff this afternoon, and dis missing the action against Mrs. White, Judge Alexander labeled the suit guessing contest" and de- clared there was no evidence to prove the Cash Bazaar and the Bon Marche to be connected.
 Arguments were being heard late today Mrs. Mildred Hermann, rep resenting the plaintiff and Frank Foster and Henry Roden the de- fendants.
