Child 5 Named In Tax Charge
A five year old Charleston boy is among three defendants charged by the federal government with conspiring to prevent collection of a 9734.41 income tax lien by revenue agents. Rucker Hayes and Cleveland Fox of Keystone in McDowell County and Eddie C. Brice Jr. of Charleston are named in the suit. The government says Hayes owes 9743.41 for 1944-50 and that he purchased a Keystone lot on August 21, 1948 and later conveyed a life interest to Brice junior. Fox claims an interest in the property and Hayes is alleged as the true owner, with no proper consideration paid by the boy or Fox.

Nathan Leopold, 48, the 1924 White City murder co defendant with Richard Loeb, has lost his first bid for freedom from Stateville Penitentiary. The Illinois Board of Pardons and Paroles ruled he is not the right type of man to be released, noting his life has centered in prison since the sensational 1924 killing. Leopold helped in early World War Two malaria drug tests on inmates as Army doctors studied treatments after quinine supplies ran short. Prosecutors argued parole would cause a public uproar.
