By the Associated Pres SAN ANTONIO, Tex., August 25.— Cathal Bruga, smploye of an oil com- pany operating in Mexico, arrived in San Antonio yesterday, reporting that he had been deported by Mexican au- thorities. . Bruga said that he was deported because of his friendship for Joseph De Courci, New York Times cor- respondent, who recently was de- ported. According to Bruga, who said he was a native of Roanoke, Va., he was held incommunicado in a Mexican jail for three days and then placed aboard a Texas-bound train. When he re- fused to pay the expenses of his four guards, he asserted, he was knocked down and robbed, being injured so serlously that it was necessary to take him to a Monterey hospital. In addition to De Courci and Bruga. two other men claiming to have been deported from Mexico have passed through San Antonio recently.
