The District Attorney said the
Government would show the de-
PENDANTS income by proving their
expenditures during the three years
under scrutiny-1o34, 1885 and 1896
Promises to Bare Operations.
I'VE will show they had no other
source Of income than this illegal
gambling business" Mr.. Pine added

business operates"
The brothers made individual in
come tax returns in 1894, he said
although the business which Emmitt
had started was. in effect, a partner
ship from the first, since the act
Of one was the act of all
In 1884, Mr.. Pine added, Emmitt
reported = net income of approx
mately $40 600 from his new numbers
business, when 1t should, as the
Government would show, have been
$28, 1000.
In 1895, he continued, each of the
brothers reported a net income of
$l,860. The Government, he said,
will prove they made a total net
profit of $85 900 that year instead of
the $500 they claimed to have
made collectively.
500, 900 Profit Claimed.
BY 1885, the prosecutor contended
the brothers were crossing around
$4,000, 900. which, by mathematical
computation, should have yielded
them gross profits of 5000, 900, after
payments to pickup men and
writer's had been deducted.
I'VE will show you," Mr.. Pine de-
clared. expenditures for bribes to
police, for fines, automobiles, houses

been listed as taxable unde,

numbers business. This item, the
district attorney added, was "for
bribes to police" He explained that
Sadur had done this in an attempt
to clear Emmitt Warrin. when his
taxes were under investigation.
Afterward, Mr.. Pine said. Sadur
tried to contend he had written in
the item before the return was
made. And his brother -in-law and
junior partner, Sherr, prepared the
schedule Of taxes, Mr.. Pine added.
The income tax conspiracy, Mr..
Pine told the jury. would mot be
proved by some eavesdropper, but
by acts, facts and statements"
He said the evidence would show
that the Government was defrauded
Of about $4,000 in taxes for the
three years covered In the charges.
