BY TIE Associated Press
HARRISONBURG, Va, Oct. I8.-
Taking the stand for the second
time, DR.. F. L. Byers, Rockingham
coroner. expressed the opinion yes
terday in Rockingham County Court,
in the trial of Mrs. Grace NJ. Smith,
that he believed her husband, Frank
G. Smith, in whose death Mrs, Smith
is co-defendant on a murder charge,
died by his own hand.
THE coroner emphasized that he
mad never changed the opinion he
fornled1 the night of Mr.. Smith s
death. He declared he has not said
anything except that Mr.. Smith died
from strangulation and therefore he
was incorrectly interpreted when re-
ported as making a. denial. =, ~, =,
Mr. Smiths body was found haif<
seated on stool in the basement
of his bungalow with a rope around
his neck last February.
DR.. Byers, who testified Tuesday,
was recalled by the defense and
declared that it was his personal
opinion that Mr.. Smith, a World
War II veteran, had committed sui
eide and that in his official report
as coroner he placed the cause of
the death as strangulation.
The coroner said he conferred
with DR.. B. S. Yancey, who at
tended Mr.. Smith for several days
prior to his death, and with several
other physicians at the hospital
where Mr.. Smith was treated.
Among the witnesses yesterday
was colored fortune-teller, who
testified that Mrs. Smith visited her
some time between February and
February % at her home in Staunton
for consultation. She said that one
of the questions Mrs. Smith asked
was, Does my boy friend love me?'
The fortune-teller identified Ralph
Garner, former Harrisonburg restau-
rant manager who was also indicted
with Mrs. Smith in connection with
the alleged murder, as the driver
of the car which brought Mrs. Smith
to her home
Garner and Mrs. Smith elected to
have separate trials, and the date

pervisors yesterday rejected a pro-
posal by the Fairfax County Bar
Association requesting the State
Fine Arts Commission to approve
the proposed county office building
addition.

dition west of the present Office
building as this location would pro-
vide more adequate space and be
more convenient for the present Of

IF you all fail to support me openly

on ANY man in this State to show
me one real issue between Mr.. Tuck

Cuts
Income Taxes
By 50 Per Cent
Property Levy
Also Reduced
By State Bourd
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated PreSs.
BALTIMORE, Oct. ia 50 per
cent reduction in the Maryland in
come tax and a cut of / cent per
500 valuation in the State prop
erty tax were announced last night
by Gov. O'Conor.
The tax reductions were author
lied at meeting of the Board Of
Public Works, at which reports by
State fiscal officers, covering sew
eral weeks, were considered.
The action increases the ALLOW
able deduction on income tax re-
turns from 1873 per cent to so per
cent, and 1t was estimated this
would amount to s1,141, 900 saving
for individual taxpayers.
Still Technically Per Cent.
The income tax technically re-
mains at per cent, and citizens
still must compute it on that basis.
1t will be merely a mathematical
point, however, because after fig
uring up what they owe at per
cent, SO per cent reduction Is al
lowed, which makes the tax ac-
tually only per cent.
The real estate tax reduction
brings the State rate to 10 cents
per 500, lowest point since 1861.
The reduction will represent a saw
ing of 1924 900 next year to property
owners, the Governor said.
The total reduction of S1,425, 900,
announced today brings to $685.
600 the saving in income tax andl
real estate tax payments for tho
calendar year l945, Gov. O'Conor
said.
A one-third reduction in income
taxes effected at the last session of
the General Assembly cut the State
tax burden $2,571 900. In addition.
property taxes were cut from Il
to Ii cents, representing a saving Of
$284, 900.
Taxpayers Save $4,000, 900.
The Governor said that a total of
S24 ,092 900 had been saved taxpayers
since 1889 as a result of reductions
in income and State real estate
levies.
A move to initiate the cuts was in
| augurated last month when ar
rangements were made for a sur
vey of State revenues and check
was instituted on estimated savings
by departments and agencies from
current budgetary appropriations.
