Butler Pays Up Huge Tax Debt in Detroit Case
George Alfred Smith, a 71 year old butler for financier J. Pierpont Morgan, settled a tax case Friday, paying $6,500 for underpaying 1952 income tax after four charges were dismissed upon full back taxes of $16,469. He claimed about $400,000 profit from stock trading over the past decade, aided by stock tips he heard from salesmen. Born in Britain, Smith emigrated in 1920 and built his modest savings into investments while earning about $4,000 yearly from Wesleyan Leyburn.
