You Can't Fool Your Uncle Sam
Alexander the Great, the mystic or magician - many in Americus have seen him - may be able to fool the foolish ones, but your Uncle Sam is one too many for Alex.
The mystic is being sued by the Internal Revenue Department for $153,503 back taxes. The clairvoyant's name is Conklin, and while he could hide things from mere men his tricks didn't fool Uncle Sam's Sleuths.
Attempting to beat the internal revenue man is one of the most popular of modern games, and one of the most hazardous and costly.
