OWES NO INCOME TAX
Former Mayor of New York i DEPARTMENT’S STATEMENT Washington, August 27. In a routine sixty-word statement the Department of Justice to-day helped to clear the way for the return of the ex-Mayor of New York. Mr. James J. Walker, from exile, and it seems likely that it will finally close a lurid incident in New York’s notoriously bright municipal history. The department ruled that Mr. Walker owes no more income tax, and declared that it would not prosecute the ex-Mayor, who went to live in seclusion in the English countryside following the sensational Seabury investigation, which resulted in his resignation. Charges of income tax evasion had been made, but the department’s announcement that an exhaustive study of the evidence indicated that there could be no criminal prosecution brought a dry and unexciting conclusion to an investigation that carried with it at one time some of the most exciting developments in the history of New York.
