Ulltim said taxes collected last year greatly exceeded those of any previous year since the inheritance tax department was organized by authority of a 1913 statute with tax impositions so far this year indicating a new record would be set. Larger collections this year will be due, Ullum pointed out to a a 1931 inheritance tax law. Collections' already have been made, Ullum said, under a section of the new tax law imposing an additional inheritance which absorbs the 80 per cent credit allow ed for payment of state inheritance taxes, as provided in the Federal estate tag law

ONE MAN LEAPS FROM BUILDING; ESCAPE FAILS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) police were expected here today to aid in rounding up the remainder <* the gang. Dixon told a number of conflicting stories to Prosecutor Nathan Nelson and Sheriff Johnson when questioned at the jail today. “He is one of the toughest men we’ve ever talked to,” both offi-' cers agreed. Hogston was more willing to talk than his partner and officers ! believe that at least part of his I story is true. He said they plann-' i e<i to load up an-automobiie with j cigarettes and cigars and take] them to Toledo for resale. The capture of the two men | came following a tip given Sheriff] Johnson by Milton Swearingen,] local insurance representative, who resides in the Bowers apartment; on tyonroe street. He noticed I strangers in the alley and when ■ lie saw the men attempting to | enter a ihiilding he came down to | look for police. Johnson. Deputies Bell and Hunt-; er. Policeman Arthur Clark and' •Merchant Police L. H. Lake were; I standing at the corner of Monroe' I ind Second streets.
