No Brewers Money Taken Says Rehfeld
Testimony in the trial of five Socialists charged with conspiring to violate the espionage law focused on the Milwaukee Leader finances. Frederick Rehfeld testified that Arthur Brisbane owned 1000 shares until he sold to start an afternoon paper in Milwaukee. He said the Albert Brisbane fund also held 1000 shares and denied brewery or pro German funding. The paper, capitalized at 100000 and with 12000 Socialist stockholders, published war bonds and drives, and losses after mail bans.
