MURDER CONFESSION REPUDIATED BY TATE His Life and That of Wife Threatened by Sheriff, _ Prisoner Says. Special to the Po-Dispatch MARION, IM., Sept. 23.—Robert Tate, smiling, tilted back on two legs of the witness chair in his trial for murder today, repudiated the confession which the | State alleges he made telling of his part In the murder of Jodie Herrington that he and Herrington’s widow (now Mrs. Tate) also on trial, might be married. His testimony was given before the Court in the absence of the jury, so the Judge could decide upon admission ofthe confession as evidence. Sheriff George Galligan threat- ened the life of both Tate and his wife and forced them to confess, the prisoner said. “Struck Me Over Head.” “Hle struck me over the head twice with his heavy keys and they kept me awake from the time I was arrested Friday night until I was forced to confess on Sunday,” said Tate. ‘“‘Did you see any sol- diers there?’’ asked Tate's counse]. “Yes, there were militiamen in uniform present on Saturday. Sher- iff Galligan said that the militia- men were keeping the mob offwbut that if we did not confess he did not think they could keep them away much longer,’ said Tate. “While you were in jail did you have anything to eat?” “Not un- th) Sunday morning, when I was given a glass of white mule and an egg sandwich,” he repled. Jailer Willlams, on the stand vesterday, said that he gave Tate his meals regularly while in the jail. Abuse Has Been Denied. Throughout the hour and 25 minutes that he was up on the stand, the witness told of alleged abuse by the Sheriff, his deputies and newspapermen, which has been previously denied by witnesses on the stand. Judge Hartwell] also examined the witness as to the authenticity of the confession and ds to the abuses alleged to have been heaped upon him by the officers and oth- ers. His testimony. he told Judge Hartwell, was given of his own free willl. As Tate left the stand, Mrs. Tate was called to the stand by the defense to reiterate the alle- gations of her husband. Following testimony that the em- balming fluid contained no arsenic or lead poison the entire day yes- terday was devoted to arguments as to whether the confession was made voluntarily or under threats or with promise of a light sentence, Judge Hartwell is expected to ad- mit the confession. The story of the witnesses yester- day was that seated on the floor of an cell Mrs. Tate, who had confessed at that time. pleaded with her sec- ond husband that he confess his part In the murdering of her first husband. “Be a man, tote your part of the load.

Mayor Miller, who last week pald his State income tax for 1929, more than four years overdue, to forestall suit, today (filed suft against Collector Koeln to recover $408.23 of the amount, alleging that the provisions of the law un- der which his assesement was fixed were unconstitutional. The lezal point which the Mayor raises is that the income tax law. though requiring income from all sources to be reported as taxable, does not allow deductions for losses sustained in enterprises outside of the taxpayer's own business or pro- fesaion. On this ground, Miller withheld payment of tax on his 1920 income. due in 1921, until last week. and he has since 1923 refused to make any State income tax return. Mf- ler, in making this fact known sev- eral months ago. said that, as a lawyer, he had advised some of his clients to withhold returns on the same ground. Complaints in the Salt. In his suit, the Mayor says that, obeying the statute, he filed wich the City Assessor an income tax return covering his 1920 income. and stating the taxable amount as $9,302.76. The tax payable on that amount (at 1% #=~oper cent) wns $139.54. He says that, in making his re- turn, he made deductions for loases during 1920 which amounted to $17,278.75. which were sustained In transactions outside his regular business as an attorney. The As sessor, he says. i@nored thie clatm for deductions, and informed him that the statute did not authorize such deductions. His tax bill was fixed as $353.31. Since that time. penalties of $194.46 have accrued. and the Mayor sayp that, to pre- vent the claiming of further pens!l- tiles, he paid the bill, amounting to $547.77, last week. Alleged Defects tn Law. He charges that the State income tax law, tn tts provisions including income from all sources taxable. but tn its provisions including tn- come from all sources as taxable, but allowing deductions only for losses sustained in a single line of endeavor, is discriminatory and confiscatory, and violates provisions of the Conatitution of the United States and of the State Conatitu- tlon. He alleges that the law does no tdistinguish between actual theoretical income, that it ts wn- reasonable, and that the General Assembly had no furtediction to en- act it. David W.
