the arrest of Cunningham.
The afiiant swore that. among othei

movement in Galloway county have
been secured. Judge Wells is not so
reticent in giving out Information.
and to a reporter for The sun he told
many interesting incidents he has en-
countered in the work of preparing
evidence.
The judge IS a modest man and
Ices not like to have all the credit

that has been accomplished, and de
clares that John Holland, Walter Hol-
land. Clint Drinkard, Sheriff Edwards
and County Attorney Barnett should
have a just share, but all those named
| acknowledge in Judge Wells their
leader and heartily agree that without
his strong will and, untiring energy,
othing would have been done, and
even then it Is undlsputed that with
out the presence of soldiers guarding
each farm house where a witness re-
sides, none would have told his story
| the best evidence OF this being the

Testimony. had previously been car
red before Judge Wells and put I'M
der oath, but refused to talk, knowing
full well that if they did they would
be killed as soon as it became known
One of the many instances of how
| the witnesses felt about the matter Is
told by Judge Wells and fully Illus
luates the benefit the soldiers have
been.
One young man, who was known
BY the court to be familiar with the
lpersonnel of the night rider army
and to possess valuable Information
was sworn by Judge Wells and asked
to tell what he knew.
The young man told Judge Well.
10 the outset that he knew all abou
the night riders, that his neighbor'
lwere night riders, and he knew thai
he would be killed II he told. With
tout a desire to be offensive or smart
he told the judge that he knew full
well that he could be ordered to jail
for not telling, but he preferred being
sent to jail than to death.
Judge Wells readily saw the young
fellows predicament, and told him he
would not send a man frank as h'
was to Jail, but in a short lecture he
tried to show the youth that 1t was
his patriotic duty TO tell what he
knew; that it was better to tell whai
he knew and be killed than to have
the county overrun with the evil and
hundreds killed and untold damage
done public and private property. ne
then told the young man to go but tt
come back that afternoon. When the
fellow returned he told the judge thai
his talk had appealed to him wonder
fully but he was not yet ready tic
tell. The court then asked him tt

SITUATION AT
MURRAY CRAVE


1.-The affidavit to be convincing; but
they have caused the county authori-
ties some uneasiness. Judge Wells,
however, is not the least dismayed.
He says If this grand jury does no.
convict he will continue his efforts
and present the evidence before an
lother.
Captain Givens and his eight SOL
diers he took with him to Hopkins

bic more troops will be rushed into
Galloway county and set to patrolline
the river to prevent an invasion, as
well as guard the witnesses and prop
lerty in the county.
A Strong Sermon.
Another minister has taken up the
fight, and last night the. Rev. H. BoyU
Taylor. pastor of the Baptist church,
preached a sermon on "The Majesty
of the Law" He spoke of the duty
of officers to, uphold the majesty OF
the law, and he said he spoke directly
to the grand jurors, whom, he hoped,
would hear his voice.
He excoriated merchants, who, fear
full of losing business, condoned the
offenses of the night riders, and EN-
barrassed the county officials in up
holding the majesty of the law.
He spoke of the duty of citizens
and gave a strong charge to the coun-
ty tobacco association. declaring It to
be the duty of the association to hold
meeting and not only condemn night
riding, but to eXpel any member
known to be in sympathy with night
riding, and to deliver the evidence in
possession of the members to the
grand jury.
More warrants were issued today
Whole Truth Known.
Murray, Ky. April 15.-"The
whole bottom of the affair has drop
ped out" said County Judge Wells
after hearing evidence practically all
day in connection with the operations
o! the night riders. This evidence de
velOped the fact that raid of $50
men from Galloway and Trigg coun-
ties, on March 2S, was prevented at
the last moment after the raiders had
met in a field near Murray.
The only thing that prevented the
raid was the statement by a member
of the gang to the effect that Judge
Wells had placed seventy-five armed
men around the town. This angered
the Trigg county men, according to the
information given Judge Wells under
oath, and they went back home ours
ing the town of Murray.
Little by little" said Judge Wells,
