Here’ 's One Way I Works— : U.S. Jury Airs Gimmick On Evading Income Tax

By FRANK CLARVOE + Seripps-Howard Staff Writer SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12—

A grand jury revealed in Federal|c

Judge Oliver Carter's courtroom here how people can evade or delay payment of income taxes. The jury made its revelation in indicting ousted San Francisco Internal Revenue Collector James G., Smyth, Paul V. Doyle, 54, ousted chief office deputy, John J. Boland, 40, deposed chief field deputy, and Lloyd J. Cosgrove, attorney. Mr. Boland had succeeded Mike Schino, former chief field deputy now under indictment in a stockselling scheme which figured in unpaid income taxes.

Returns Postdated

Here is what the jury says was done: On three separate estates, Doyle and Cosgrove conspired to make false returns, postdated returns to show that they had been filed on time and taxes paid, made false and fictitious statements in connections with the returns and covered up facts material to the proper conduct of the collector's office. There were 15 charges in this indictment, and each man faces five years in prison and a $10,000 fine, or both. . They also conspired, according to the jury, as follows: ‘They back. dated returns, unlawfully extended the time in which taxes were to be paid, refused assistance to an internal revenue bureau auditor, and removed official records from the office and kept them in their personal possession. This last, says the jury, resulted in the statute of limitations permitting a taxpayer to escape his taxes. The real kicker resulted from an alleged act of Mr. Smyth himgelf. Early in 1946, says the jury, Smyth and Doyle had a talk about Mr. Smyth's own tax return and that of his wife, Mad-

lyn, for 1945. Mr. Doyle is said fo have told his boss:

“You have the returns made out and give therm to me and I'll take care of them-—put the right date on them.”

Signs Initials

Mr. Smyth turned over the returns to Mf. Doyle, according to the indictment, and Mr. Doyle, “on or about Mar. 15, 1947" stamped the returns as having been made on time a year previous.

Then, some time between Mar. 15 and May 30, 1947, Mr. Doyle noted on the official assessment list: “No bill,” and signed his initials. Mr. Smyth ultimately paid these and other taxes due, according to the jury. In one of several cases handled in similar fashion, Mr. Smyth himself kept the Bureau records in his personal possession, the| jury says. i In another, Mr. Doyle held! them, playing hare and hounds with a deputy who wanted to

clean up the case, until the statute of limitations had run out.
