Defense Rests In Wilmoth Tax Evasion Trial
In Fairmont West Virginia UPI reports the defense planned to rest in the federal income tax evasion trial of Parkersburg businessman Fred Wilmoth. Federal tax expert Jerry Chaney testified Wilmoth’s net worth statement listed 1962 taxable income of 41000, though Wilmoth claimed 18000. Chaney reduced the tax due by over 3500 and said legal fees paid to former Gov. W W Barron were not deductible as Wilmoth did not claim them as tax items. Prosecutors indicated the money was likely for personal expenses.
