INC. 2 E. NORTHAMPTON ST. WILKES- BARRE KEHOE APPEALS ASSESSMENT BY FEDERAL GOVT Philadelphia, Dec. for John Kehoe, of Pittston, today asked the U.

S. Circuit of Appeals to set aside a $316,846 deficiency and penalty assessment made on his 1925 income by the federal government. The appellate tribunal reserved decision on the petition. The Federal Tax Roard levied the assessment and penalty in March, 1936, on the basis of charges by Patrick F. McGowan, who presented himself "Informer," that hoe obtained" more than $890,000 in 1925 from the sale of illegal beer allegedly produced by Bartel's brewery at Edwardsville.

McGowan told internal revenue agents that he turned informer because Kehoe had failed to pay him if he would not reveal the Pittston man's purported connection with a Cleveland alcohol conspiracy. McGowan and others were indicted at Cleveland, but never were tried because the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals here stopped their extradition. As result of McGowan's testimony, the Federal Tax Board taxed Kehoe an additional $208.043, plus a 50 per cent penalty of $108,803.

Robert T. McCracken, attorney for the Pittston man, told the circuit court today that the deficiency assessment was unsupported by evidence and that the board relied entirely upon McGowan's testimony. McCracken said that the settlement which Kehoe made with the federal government in 1927 with the payment of an additional tax of 563 closed the government claims on his 1925 income for all time, unless fraud could be proved, which he said, had not been done. was significant that the Tax Board made no mention of the E63 payment on "secreted income of 353,990," which was income from operations of the brewery Kehoe's attorney asserted. The $890,000 the gross income for the entire brewery, without any allowances for manufacturing costs and other overhead, McCracken said.

Special Assistant Attorney General Earl C. Crouter, who came here from Washington to oppose the uppeal, argued that the record in the case was "full of evidence of fraud and deceit by Kehoe."
