| . SAMUEL I. KESSLER testified that he served as an attorney for several parties including ZWILLMAN at meetings in 1942 and 1943 when ZWILLMAN received $388,000 in cash from JOSEPH REINFELD. KESSLER and REINFELD both testified that this represented $130,000 as ZWILLMAN's share of an undisclosed sua which had been held in escrow upon the sale of Browne Vintners Company in 1940. In addition to this $130,000, REINFELD paid ZWILLMAN $240,000 which represented a repaynent of a loan which ZWILLMAN had made to REINFELD to enable the latter to pay a pressing federal income tax lien. The $358,000 sum represented the above two amounts minus an unspecified sum for New York State income taxes. KESSLER admitted that ZWILLMAN had not been a shareholder on record in Browne Vintners. Since the trial dealt with RUTKIN’s failure to pay income tax, the specific proportion of ZWILLMAN's interest in Browne Vintners was not an igsue and no testimony thereto was entered. 2.
