SAYS HE CAN GET WITNESS
WHENEVER HE IS WANTED
Triee County Night Riders Are Driving
People Out OF County in Order to
Get Their Property.

Eddyyille. Ky, Aug. 20. Especial }
Someone, having access to the
Louisville wires is endeavorlng to
injure County Attorney Krone,
through some Louisville paper, and
to make 1t appear that the grand jury
is seeking night rider violence. II is
reported that when Mr.. Krone was
requested to produce Sanford Hall he
told the COMMONWEALTH attorney
that he does not know where Sanford
Hall is. Mr.. Krone said that state
mont Is an absolute falsehood. and he
does know where Sanford Hall is. but
neither the grand jury nor the com
monwealth's attorncy has ever asked
him to produce Sanford Hall. Mr.
Krone said he Offered his assistance
to the grand fury and he was utterly
ignored. although he has been within
calling distance OF the grand jury
ever since II convened. lie is ready
now to produce great deal OF evil
dence against might riders whenever
he is called upon.
II Is probable that John O'Brien,
who escaped from he penitentiary
and confessed, will be indicted for
HIS escape.

that involves, is a question that State
Secretary r. l.. Barnett says hinges
largely on the attitude Paducah COM
mercial and Official interests have to-
ward the movement.
Louisville will be selected, Mr.. Bar
nett intimated, unless some substan-
tial proposition from Paducah to Sc
cure the headquarters, like the in
ducements the city offers other large
enterprises to locate here, is made TO
the union. The directors, who met
here yesterday, thought Louisville.
on account of its size and greater
marketing facilities, would be the
best location, though at present II is
some distance away from the heart
of the organized territory. Still they
have not settled on the location and
Will not until Paducah shows that
the headquarters is or is not wanted.
On the second Tuesday in Septem-
Der directors will meet here again,
when final arrangements for a great
central salesroom will be made. Sec
rotary Barnett said today that the
union expects to handle 100000
pounds Of tobacco this season. To-
bacco was the principal subject dis
cussed in yesterdays meeting and
definite plans were perfected where
by each county will handle its own
crop. IN detail the plan OF handling
of the Farmers Union, differs ma
terially from that of Planters Pro
tec.ive association.
First there will be no general man
ager of the Farmers Union. The
state board of directors will have SUI
pervision over the various county or
CARNATIONS. They have eliminated
every Office possible. It was stated, to
save expenses to the members. Each
county is expected to organize
stock company which will buy or
lease a warehouse. At this ware
house the tobacco will be priced and
stored. and samples will be sent to
Paducah or Louisville, as the one or
other place may be chosen for state
headquarters.
These stock companies will be sim
liar to the one organized this month
in Livingston county. Only union
members may own stock. The stock
