Ruling Sought On Names Of Lias Syndicate Partners
Federal Judge William E Baker in Elkins will decide today if the partners of an alleged numbers syndicate may be named in testimony at the William Lias trial for attempting to defraud the government. The issue arose during cross examination of Walter Sauvageot who said he worked for six months in 1930 and that Lias was the boss. Defence counsel Carl Bachmann questioned Sauvageot about two alleged partners, a Wheeling restaurant man and Lias's cousin. The government contends income tax evasion is shown by Lias depositing more than 700000 in two banks during 1931.
