Brook Man Claims to Have Lost Money in Chicago Club.

According to the Indianapolis Star, Mayberry Kibler, of Brook, who is charged with an effort to evade the payment of taxes on >6,000 in cash, puts up a novel defense. In 1908 and 1909 Kibler paid the taxes without a murmer and this year he did not enter the cash and when the assessor did and the county board of tax review failed to relieve him of the charge, he appeared before the state board of tax commissioners Monday and stated that he did not have the money but had lost li playing poker in a Chicago club. The board is trying to determine whether or not Mayberry Kibler is a Juneberry kidder and will ask Newton county to investigate and find out whether the money was lost before or after March Ist. It is tough luck to lose the coin in Chicago and then, have to go to Indianapolis to prove it.
