DENIAL OF CREECH
Corroborates Defendant in.
Contention He Did Not
Commit Perjury.

Boone Galloway. soft-spoken Ken
lucky coal mine worker, took the
witness stand in District Court 70.
DAY to eorroborate the denial Of his
flrst cousin, Ted Creech, that the.
latter committed perjury before the
IAFollete Civil Liberties Committee.
Creech, 35-year-old Harlan County
mine superintendent, is being tired
before Justice Joseph Cox.
Galloway testified he overheard 4
conversation last April between his
cousin and Richard c. Tackett, In
which the latter said, II got drunk
and messed myself up"
Tacket, according to Galloway, vsi
referring to testimony he had given
before the Civil Liberties Committee.
Tackett Denies Statement.
Creech told the committee Tackett
had made the statement, but Tackett
and other witnesses denied it. This
conflict of testimony resulted in the
indictment Of Creech. =,
After Tackett's statement, Galloway
said, Creech replied: You messed
yourself up and the operators, too.
When you get back to Harlan County
they ought to give you or 10 years
for telling things like that" Galloway
denied Creech had made . personal
threat to have Tackett sent to Jail
Galloway took the stand after As
sistant United States Attorney David
Pine had finished his cross-examina-
ton of Creech.
Denying he ever had a subma chine
gun in Harlan County, Creech took
the witness stand late yesterday and
denied he perjured himself before the
Senate committee.
The substance of Creech's testimony
was general denial of the perjury
charge, coupled with an assertion
that he had been misquoted by tine
stenoerapher who made the transcript
OF his statements before the COM
mittee. i"
Questioning of Creech yesterdsv
ranged over a wide variety of sub
jects. including one instance in 1888
when he was supposed to have used
machine gun to disband a group Of
miners trying to hold a mass meeting.
Creech said he had no recollection Of
that incident. adding: II never had
machine gun in Harlan County"
