On the plea that his wife had to see their daughter, Thelma, off for New York yesterday, O. A. Brietson, head of the manufacturing company now under investigation by federal authorities, asked that an audit of the conioany's books be postponed until today. "My wife knows all about the hooks" and affairs of the company and I want to have her present when the auditors examine the books," Briet son told F. A. Mulfingcr, attorney for the stockholders. Mulfingcr declined to consider postponement. "I told Brietson this was the most important matter that would ever come up in his life probably, and that it behooved him and his family to arranged their affairs accordingly, not to insist on expensive delays for the reason he advanced," said Mul fingcr. Mrs. Brietson, said to be the "power behind the throne" in Briet son company affairs, was attached to the office at a salary of $200 a month, it is said. Besides her salary and the $7,500 Brietson drew, he allowed himself two 7 per cent dividends on $100,000 worth of stock, according to Mul fingcr.
