Mrs. Robertson told Judge Roy V. Rhodes yesterday that Robertson, approached her the first day of her employment and told her she looked like the reincarnation of his wife, who had died 11 years previously.

"He came to my room one morning with a gun," she said, "and told me he would blow my head off if I didn't marry him at once. On February 26 we went to the marriage license bureau and I could feel the gun he had in his pocket at my side. When we returned to my room he held me captive until five days later, when we were married by a justice of the peace." Another five days' captivity fol lowed, she testified, adding that Robertson finally threw ink in her face "so you won't ever be able to see another man." She said she escaped when he became in toxicated. Uptown Services Services will be held tonight at the Grape and Cumberland Streets Church by the Right Rev.

K2.L Drive on Tax Cheaters Yields U.S. Additional $56,444,954 in Past Year Washington, Aug. 4, IP', The Treasury reported today it had rounded up an additional. $56,444,954 from tax cheaters during the past year and "in doing so had taken out of circulation these "chiselers against the Nation's wartime revenue needs: "A professional card sharp whose take' over a. period of years approached six figures, a wealthy lottery czar, a racketeering tax adviser, and two purvey ors of blue sky' mining Summarizing the annual report of W.

Woolf, chief of the Internal Revenue Bureau's intelli gence unit, the Treasury said the exposure, prosecution and con viction of these individuals was merely incidental' to the business of hunting down tax frauds. WoolTs agents, the department reported, spotted the additional revenue in the course of nearly 1000 investigations which led to tax evasion against 95 persons, all but three of whom were convicted. Still pending is a case in which one the agents brushed up on his knowledge of Japanese to ob tain an indictment against three Nipponese subjects who allegedly kept two sets of books on a St Petersburg, restaurant. One set. in English, accounted for $40,000 less income than the second, kept in Japanese, the Treasury declared, adding that tax returns were based on the English set.

Ol the trio indicted, one now is in Japan, another in a detention camp and the third is awaiting trial. The Treasury named the card sharp as William D. Frad of New York who, it said, posed as a son of a prominent family and "plied his trade on trains and ocean steamers." He drew a term of two and one half years in after Treasury agents proposed additional taxes of $100,000 against him for the years 1936 37. "One of the neatest rackets un covered," the Treasury said, brought a 2 year prison term to Albert Harris of Edwardsville, who allegedly altered clients returns by setting up fictitious claims for exemptions and deductions and pocketed the tax saving himself. Chest Collections Continue to Gain Collections of Community Chest contributions to July 31 were nearly 3 per cent, higher than on the same date last vear the ex ecutive committee was advised at the luncheon meeting in the Cen tral Y.M.C.A.

On July 31 of 1942 the percentage of collections was 84.2 as compared to 87 Der cent. at the end of last month. President Kenneth R. Stark. conducted today's meeting.
