COUNSEL ARGUE
BREWERY CASE
BRUINS Testimony About
Loan to Ferguson Is the
Feature of Trial.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 3.-ClOSlug argu-
ment was begun this morning in the
case OF Henning Bruhn. an official of
the Lone Star Brewing association.
charged with making false income tax
returns. on trial in the federal court
It was expected the case would go to
the jury some time during the day.
The charges against Charles Gross
man. also an official Of the associ-
alton, were dismissed yesterday on
motion Of the United States district
attorney.
The feature Of the trial yesterday
was the testimony Of Bruhn that Otto
Wahrmund. member OF the legislature
and president of the san Antonio
Brewing association, approached him
with a request for a loan for Gov
James E. Ferguson which he said the
brewers Of Texas were arranging,
Ferguson being financially involved.
He said he raised SIS, 900 and took il
in the form Of currency to Wahrmund,
and that ended his connection with II.
He said he thought he was right in
charging ii off the books. considering
il a bad debt after Ferguson's i'm
parchment and removal from OFFICE
He also said accounts were kept in
such manner as to protect Gov. Fer
guson.
Ferguson Looked to Friends for Help.
Bruhn said Wahrmund came TO him
and said the governor was in financial
distress and expected his friends to
help him out. Mention was made that
Gov. Ferguson would not allow the
legislature to enact any anti-liquor
legislation. Fifty thousand dollars
was desired, Of which Bruhn raised
SOS. 600. he said. L. A. Adoue. Calves
ton brewer, was also interested in the
loan, he said. Bruhn said he drew the
money from the Alamo National bank.
As for himself, he said he was a Dane,
had served a short term in the Ger
man army, and completed his naturali-
zation in the United States in 1899.
Grossman's testimony was 10 the ef-
feet that he was never consulted by
those interested in any matter con-
nected with defeating local option or
