We have had considerable rain the

the features of the brewery 81 case
which has. attracted much attention
the unexplained presence Of q special
correspondent of the Fargo Daily
Courier-News on the night of the
brewery raid in East Grand Forks.
Mr.. Bangs said that in the course Of
the preliminary hearing last summer
Mr.. did not deny the allie,
cation that issues OF an extra edition,
OF the Fargo paper had been dis
tributed from. Mr.. Bronson's Office in
this city; at that time, Mr. Bronson
had objected to the Introduction of

was undertaken and engineered by a
mob led by a stranger whom the de-
PENDANTS have since learned was At
torney General William LANCER.
1T was not the sheriff Of Polk
county, Minnesota. who led this raid,''
MIR: Bangs said" 1t was Mr.. LANCER
and F. L. Watkins. superintendent of
the North Dakota Law Enforcement
league. IT Mr.. Bronson and MIR. Bren-
nan were subjected to q cross-examin-
alton under oath, we might get at the
truth, or there might be ground for a
charge OF perjury"
DESTROYS OF Notoriety.
The affidavit which Mr.. Bronson
had subitted in reply to that of the
defendant was described by MIR.
Bangs as being s''miserably deceptive"
and added to. this the following state
ment:
II say ~advisedly that there has
never come from these .consptrators
this raid. Furthermore, the ] whole
thing was instigated by, Mr.. LANCER
because he was as thirsty and hungry
for self-adyertising as he has always
been. His insane desire for publicity
and possibly that of Mr.. Brennan, was
the origin Of the raid"
Completely Charged.
Nm conclusion. Mr.. Bangs said that
1T was absurd and silly of Mr.. Bron-
son II Mr.. Brennan to try to make
the court believe that the state of
Minnesota started Sheriff Kelly Of
on his nocturnal trip for
the purpose of attending the raid par
ty; it was. Mr.. Bangs asserted. the
state of North Dakota which was be-
hind the seizure. Z
According to Mr.. Bangs, the two.
assistant attorney generals had vir-
tually confessed their guilt and COM
plicity-only they didn't like to admit
1t and for this reason they tried as
skillfully as possible to raise the
parasol of rosy Innocence above their
domes.
This afternoon Judge Cooley took
the motion+to quash Indictment under
advisement.
