Governor May Drop Tax Action Against Walker
The New York American reports the government will drop its income tax evasion case against former Mayor James J. Walker, citing lack of substantiation. Grand juries refused to indict, with no activity since March. Attorney General Cummings reportedly seeks a full report and is expected to drop the case, which stems from Samuel Seabury's NYC government probe. Walker resigned during removal hearings, later marrying Betty Compton and living abroad.
