Mellon Case Briefs Filed in Tax Evasion Row
Washington May 1 The government and Andrew Mellon filed briefs with the board of tax appeals in a major case alleging fraudulent evasion of more than 2 million dollars in 1931 income tax. The government seeks a 50 percent penalty of the deficiency, bringing the total to about 3.089 million, while Mellon contends he overpaid by about 139 thousand and owes nothing. The briefs focus on Mellon's sale of 123 622 shares in Pittsburgh Coal to Union Trust for 500 thousand and subsequent repurchase by the Coalesced company for 517 278, with the government arguing the sale was not real and the loss claimed was false and fraudulent. The case also covers Mellon's dealings with McClintic Marshall, Union Construction, Western Public Service, and family holding companies.
