TORTURE SLAYERS
 FINALLY CAUGHT

Van Horn, Tex, Jan. 14-(UP)- driver and his wife of murder to- day, ending four-year search for the torture slayers of two society women who were found dead April 3, 1888, in the desolate country near this village.
 Murder charges were filed against Charles w. Hatfield, 38, and his wife, Bonnie, 31, who were arrested Jan- uary 6 at Bakersfield, Cal They were accused of killing Mrs. Wesotn G. Frome, 43, and her daughter, Nancy, 22. The Fromes are a wealthy and socially prominent family of Berke- ley, Cal.
 Police refused to reveal the basis of the charges or to explain how the trail had taken them to Bakers field after an investigation that had reached into every state and two foreign countries.
 The F'romes were enroute to Paris, s. C.. to visit another of Mrs. Frome's daughters who is the wife of a naval officer. Authorities be- Ieved they had been overtaken in an automobile race on the lonely highway through the desert One of the assailants had stomped Miss Frome. The hands of both were burned by the ends of cigars and cigarets and both had been shot in the head.
 Police said more than two persons probably participated and reported that a search for other suspects was continuing. They disclosed that a farm wife had been taken into cus- tcdy near Maxia, Tex, 600 miles east of Won Horn, and brought here for questioning.
 One policeman said "a narcotic ring is part of the picture" giving credence to the official theory that the women had been mistaken for dope smugglers and were tortured by rival smugglers who wanted them to reveal cache of narcotics.

YOUR Income Tax
No. 9 M HODS OF ACCOUNTING AND RECORDS FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES

The Internal Revenue Code pro- vides that the ret income of a tax payer shall be computed upon the basis of his annual accounting per- iod in accordance with the method of accounting regularly employed in keeping his books; but if no such method of accounting has been so employed or if the method em- ployed does not clearly reflect the income, the computation is to be m de in accordance with such method as in the opinion of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue does clearly reflect the income.
 The regulations recognize that no uniform method of accounting can be prescribed for all taxpayers, and the law contemplates that each tax payer shall adopt such forms and systems of accounting as are in his judgment best suited to his purpose. The methods of account ing most generally used are CD the cash receipts and disbursement method, and CD the accrual meth od. The regulations provide that in order to effect net income cor rectly, inventories at the begin- ming and end of each taxable year are necessary in every case in which the production, purchase, or sale of merchandise is an -produc- ing factor, and that in any case in which it is necessary to use an in- ventory, no method of accounting in regard to purchases and sales will correctly reflect income except an accrual method.
 Each taxpayer is required by law to make a return of his true income and under the regulation he is re- quired to maintain such accounting records as will enable him to do so. His books and records must be kept at all times available for inspection by internal revenue officers and retained as long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any internal rev. enue law.
