An affidavit by Wellman and Pell denied the charges and vouched they are intimate friends of Brandreth who met his wife. Brandreth's mother testified her income of 10000 dollars a year will be cut this year as Parous Plaster Company 14 holding funds from her husband estate cannot obtain chemicals from Europe due to the war, preventing aid to her son.
