...woman exhibitions in London. Then her husband's old school friend, Peter Stanley, took a cottage near them. He wanted quiet to write a book in, country air to breathe. The three saw a lot of each other; Caroline painted Peter's picture. All of a sudden Caroline found she was in love with him. But she was pretty sure she still loved her husband too. Just the same she might have given herself to Peter, but he decided against it and stuck to his decision long enough to get away. When Caroline told Maurice she and Peter...

...sundry costs. As it is, he only pays the U. S. his back taxes plus a $10,000 fine (about 2% per annum on the tax money which he has enjoyed for three years). He will also serve 18 months in jail (where he will be temporarily safe from sudden death). Already convicted on similar tax charges are Jack Guzik and Ralph Capone, Al's brother (TIME, May 5).
