Five Government witnesses appeared and put it up to the jury: Did it not appear that Citizen Mellon had claimed a fake loss of $5,678,000 on Pittsburgh Coal Co. stock and of $402,000 on Western Public Service Co.? That his gross income was $9,213,000 and not $6,759,000 as reported? That his net income was $7,767,000 instead of $5,553,000? That he should have paid an income tax of $1,364,000 instead of $648,000? That he had "unlawfully, willfully, knowingly, feloniously and fraudulently attempted to defeat and evade...
...Brooklyn, Manhattan and Binghamton, N. Y. last week the Government quietly collared ten people who, it charged, had set out to plaster the country with $2,000,000 worth of spurious $5 bills. According to the Government, as side lines the counterfeit ring had issued a number of fake baseball lottery tickets, had bilked Endicott Johnson Corp.

...book is heartily recommended to those who like the flavor of the old West, but are fed up with fake thrillers. It is a document in the history of that genuine Western culture, primitive as it was, which the expansion of the nation swept away. The only account comparable to it in conveying the real note of the cowboy era is that brief description written by Samuel Eliot Morison (of all people!) in the "Oxford History of the United States...
...neck, feet swathed in high heeled boots, dress distended by the bustle, or as Mr. Allen quotes, "by a kind of ambulatory showcase, or exhibition grounds,"--for such was the female style. There is a camera portrait of Mrs. August Belmont hugging her muff in the midst of a fake snowstorm. There are faro games, and the Klondike, Fanny Ward in "Pippino" and Maude Adams in "Rosemary". The drawing rooms of the Vanderbilts and the Astors vie in roccoco obscenity. Valeska Surrat displays the hour-glass silhouette which won her recognition as the Gibson girl and the enjoyment of generations...
