Tax Graft Suspect Nabbed as Fake Tax Fixer Busted
Mrs. Frank Michuda of 10500 Wabash avenue thwarted a fake tax fixer operation after a man named William Edwards of the Park Way Hotel tried to swindle her out of 200 dollars. Edwards, a former city tax assessor’s employee, is jailed on charges of obtaining money under false pretenses, with police seeking a companion. Edwards claimed to fix her taxes for four years and used assessor forms to lend credibility. The plan unraveled when Michuda coordinated with her tenant Louis Schwartz and police. A $25 payment had already been given by Herman Dombroski, a coffee shop proprietor, and more victims are suspected. Riverdale Park Commissioner Leonard Diehl is reported seriously ill, with his son handling duties at Highlawn School in his absence.
