Nedrnghaus personally. He said he also carried a $5000 check from MT. Busch to MT. Neidringhaus. He said he was acting as secretary of the bureau of publicity of the state com mittee He was asked if he knew any instance where money was given with view to influencing beer legislation or the ] election of United States senator.
 "No,' he replied, q do not know 1t, nor have I heard any report or rumor to | that effect"
