Mellon for alleged tax evasion, the Department of Internal Revenue to-day filed a brief with the Board of Tax Appeals accusing Mellon, while Secretary of the Treasury in 1931, of "scheming" to evade taxes aggregating 3,075,000 dollars. It is said that he illegally reduced his taxable income by fictitious securities, sales and other devices. Mr Mellon immediately denied the validity of the brief, and reiterated the charge that he was being subjected to political persecution by the present Administration.
