Mitchell says forced sale led to tax evasion plan
New York June 5 AP Charles E Mitchell testified in his income tax evasion trial that he sold 18 360 shares of National City Bank stock to his wife in 1929 rather than to his employer to avoid tax. He claimed the move was a bid to record a loss and escape taxation while avoiding a market drop. He said he would have faced public danger if he sold to the employer and that the subsequent repurchase at the same price was part of the scheme to evade taxes.
