Gene Oliver Loses Long Fight With Federal Government
Former Cook County assessor Gene G. Oliver was slated for transfer to Leavenworth Friday to begin a five month term for income tax evasion. The Supreme Court refused to review the case, affirming a two year prosecution that followed his 1929 indictment for inadequate returns on three years of income. Oliver’s income was estimated at about 500 600 for 1926 1927 and 1928, with only 430 000 paid after delinquent returns amid claims of political immunity promises. The piece notes his Chicago origins and recalls his early career and community ties.
