Tax Trial In Third Day In Lynchburg Case
More than 10 government witnesses were expected to testify on the third day of the income tax evasion trial of Harvey D. Elliott of Lynchburg Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. He is accused of understating income from 1952 to 1955, with the government seeking an additional 27143 dollars in taxes under the guidance of U.S. District Judge Roby C. Thompson and a 12 member jury. Elliott’s lawyers argued the alleged excess income reflects repayments of personal funds advanced to his firm.
