GROSS INCOME PAYMENTS DUE State Gross Income Taxes To Be Paid Before January 30 Indianwpolts, Jan. 2 —Hoosier citizens and corporations whole gross receipts during 1935 amounted lo more than SI,OOO today be«*t’ Kling annual state gross income tax returns. Gross income tax officials estimated that before the taxpaying period closes January 30, between 310,000 and 325.000 returns will have been filed as compared with 302.0'0 reports received lest year. Generally improved business conditions in 1935 were counted on to bring about the increase in number of taxpayers as well as considerable increase in total volume ot income. Return forms and information have been made available at the gross income tax offices In the stale house, at 142 state auto license branches and at numerous subbranches established in the various counties. Regulations require that all Income received in 1935 be reported on the annual return, regardless of any quarterly returns filed The sl.000 exemption then is deducted from income and the full year’s tax computed. If quarterly payments have been made, they are deducted to find the balance of tax due with the annual return. Clarence A. Jackson, director of the gross income tax division, point-

CHAPTER XXVIII I waited for the Inspector to begin the conversation on our drive from Mrs. Sardoni’s apartment to the office. I was puzzled by his manner to her and hers to him; it seemed to a sixth sense of mine that there was something underneath the surface that I did not comprehend. “That woman is clever. Julie. You are quite right about her being mysterious, at least in her relation to Perkins. She tried to evade us there, didn't she?” “Yes. But she didn't do a very good job. because even the newspapers said that he had visited Connie often, and so forth.” "Uttmt. Seemed confused when I began on him. But she was hottest enough about herself. 1 believe she told me the truth on all the personal questions I asked.” “Inspector, you knew more about her when you went there than you told, didn't you?” He laughed. “Clever little Julie! They don't put much over on you, do they? Yes, I've had a few wires from Toledo. This Mrs. Saidotti is using her right name and told us the right story about her coming here. Yeti sec, she was th<* wife of a rather notorious bootlegger in Toledo, in the days before Repeal. He was mixed up with the law a number of times, but apparently she was never involved. lie was somewhat of a brute, was cruel to her and to the boy. So she just pulled up stakes and divorced him.” "Wouldn't that be rather dangerous?” “It would if she ever talked. Guess he didn't care greatly about the loss of his family; he was just concerned that she kept her mouth shut about, his former activities That probably accounts for the cleverness with which she parried my questions; she’s had sonic experience in that line.” “How awful, to live in constant fear of a gangster!” "She doesn't strike me »-> n woman who has much fear. I'd say she was pretty cool anti pretty hard under that voluble exterior.” "But very emotional.” “Yes. Hatred ought to be her specialty with her ancestry, her background, her particular disposition. J am inclined to think the bootlegger is entitled to as much pity as she is, perhaps." "She knew that you had ali this information, didn't she?" “I think she did. At least she didn’t try to lie or bluff. She just showed honest resentment and warned me she would be on guard against too much prying into past affairs.” “She’s rathe) fascinating. Rut where does Perkins conic in?" “That’s What we have yet to find out. Aho what, connection their relationship, whatever it may hr could possibly have with Mi v Sinclair and her death. 1 confess I can see nothing but a blind alley there ”

cd out thut state tax officials this year will be able to check gruss income tax returns against Federal 1935 returns to be filed next Marell Under a law passed at the last session of Congress, federal regulations require that a duplicate copy of each federal return be tiled with district collectors and made available to state officials. Authority tor this requirement was inserted in last sessions tax law after repeal of the "pink slip” fl übliclty provision which would have made information on returns available to the general public. Mr. JadUiU euiietl ateution to the fa t that taxpayers need have no fear that information on their returns will be used for other than legitimate tax checking purposes, as the state gross income tax law prohibits divulging any information as to a taxpayer’s income obtained in collecting the gross income tax. Another method of checking the accurracy of gross income tax re-

j I agreed with him. Now that my hunch had led us off in this direction, it seemed less important than a lot of other facts about Bruce, Mrs. Carrington, or Hym. There was only one more thing to tell, O'Brien and that was about the ceiling. “You know,” 1 said, "the impression I had of her apartment was that is was almost barren of anything that was hers. It was as if she were ready to pick up a suitcase and fly at any moment.” “So y*ou noticed that Good girl! Yes, 1 would imagine that is exactly it If the ex-husband should turn up some bright day, St. Joseph would not see Mrs. Sardoni long.” “There was only one interesting thing in tne whole place," 1 continued. “What was that?” “A funny spot on the ceiling just where the steam pipe goes up.” I “How large?” “About, a foot square." “How was it ‘funny”.’" 1 “It looked thin, as if the paper covered a hollow.” “Well. Your trusty eyes have seen something I missed, little girl. I don't see what significance it might have, but Miss Sinclair’s liv-ing-room was directly over hers, and as you said before, everything is worth investigating.” “Probably it will only prove that she had more curiosity than she admits, and that she know a lot that vent on upstairs.” “In that case, she may know more than she is telling. With a suspicious cx-husband in the background, she cannot afl'ort to lx 1 too communicative about other people's affairs.” B.v this time we had reached his office. We went on in and 1 began typing the notes I had taken, both those of the call that morning and sonic earlier ones still in shorthand. I took time out to call Mother and to grab a sandwich and a swell soda at the corner drug store. When 1 returned, the Inspector was telephoning. “Sure, bring them in,” were his last words as he hung up the receiver. “Miss Julie. J have a hunch of my own. I think we are getting near the end of the trail. Something is going to break soon. We are closing in on all of our suspects and someone is going to be squeezed too much. lam r eady to predict to you that one of these will bo charged with the murder of Miss Constance Sinclair before another week has passed!" “Which one?” The Inspector’s cigar butt blazed as he puffed furiously, and his heavy white eyebrows weighed down his head it seemed, as be frowned almost terrifyingly. Before he could answer, the door opened; in came Melvin Wright with two detectives. Hn wa s followed by two swarthy, sullen mon handcuffed to Atwater. ♦ * e I wa- not allowed to hear the questioning of Melvin and his companions. 1 suppose the Inspector

thought it improper, perhaps. Anyway. he ordered them all out of his office sharply, told me to continue my work, and followed them. I went on typing, with my mind wondering what new development had come up. I also wondered what the Inspector’s answer to my question would have been had they not entered at the wrong moment. He was hot on someone’s trail ... Was it Melvin’s? It was rather scary to realize that one of these persons I knew had actually killed a human being. Os course, the folks did not think that Bruce was guilty or they would not have had him at the house. But I still believed the inspector leaned toward him as the most likely bet. At times. I almost agreed with Helen on Mrs. Harrington. She had made an unfavorable impression on me. She was like an adventuress of the highest type that one reads about in books. Yet her life before October had been a very normal one. There was always the possibility of Hym. of course, and now all this new dope on Perkins pointed toward him again. Allen 1 brushed aside. But 1 would certainly have liked to I know what the new stuff on Melvin was, as the police would put it. I lingered as long as I could, but evidently the session was a long one. I finally had no excuse at all for staving. So i began walking slowly Homeward. Allen overtook me a few blocks from home. It was the first time wc had been alone since he had made his statement to O’Riien. “Whcrc’vc you been, Julie?” "Down to tire Inspector's office. He asked me to take some notes for him and I’ve been typing them.” "How di<l it happen he asked you to do that?” "Well, you sec, carlv in the case I was able to help him a bit. I discovered that Perkins had been to see Miss Sinclair that night; at least, I discovered some facts about a book which led to that conclusion.” "And then you found the important evidence of the fountain pen! You must stand acc-high with him by now!” Whether he was sarcastic or not, I don’t know. I don’t believe Allen ever quite forgave, me for leading the trail in his direction, although he understood that I had to take the course I did. “I think the Inspector likes me." I said quietly. Then I suppose you have more inside information than even Dad can got.” “No,” I answered, “I don’t learn a great deal; at least I’m never called in on testimony that might ' ou klww wllßt I mean.” there ought not. to be any! I don t see how anything that was really bad could have anv association with Miss Sinclair!” Allen was sincere in’ that. He still worshipped her. i n'fl!
