Bremmerman took the stand in his own defense and, as Clark had done the | day before, denied beating or mistreat- ing the prisoner, or any of the veven or eight other colored boys being ques- tioned at the time about various petty thefts and housebreaking cases. He was on the stand only during the morning session of court. During this time Bremmerman declared he had re- fused to make a statement about the case to Department of Justice investi- gating agents because he did not think they would give him fair treatment in the matter. He denied warning one of the boy: Inot to tell anything about the alleged beatings to the Federal agents, but ad- mitted he had tried to find out from another man what one of the Govern- ment witnesses had told the Depart- ment of Justice investigators. ‘The Government intends to put on four witnesses in rebuttal during the afternoon.
