Duke said he was advised by his
lawyer not to answer any ques
tions.
Roger Hadley, Alabama grand
dragon of the Invisible Empire of
the Knights of the KKK, the group
headed by Bill Wilkinson of De
nham Springs, La., said earlier at
least six Klansmen had been sub
poenaed.
Six of the 10 soldiers of fortune,
arrested last month before they
could set sail for Dominica to carry
out the plot, were tied to Klan
organizaions.
The coup attempt was funded
by a Baton Rouge resident identi
fied as “Jm* White...a business
guy,” according to U.S. Treasury
agents in Houston.
Duke, who gave up his post as
grand wizard of the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan last year to form the
National Association for the Adv
ancement of White People, said
he knew some of the suspects.
“I was subpoenoed because I
knew a couple of the guys,” Duke
said. ‘‘They asked if I was going to
answer any questions and, on the
advice of my lawyer, I said ‘No.’ I
haven’t been in the Klan since last
year. ”
Duke said he was a friend of
Stephen Don Black, of Birming
ham, Ala., who replaced him as
Grand Wizard of the Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan.
“I don’t think it was any kind of
KKK thing,” Duke said. “What
could the KKK get out of it? Those
traced to the Klan had been in-

United Press International
TURKEYVILLE, Mich. —
Wayne Cornwell talks turkey.
And when he does, the citizens
of Turkeyville — all eight of
them — listen.
Cornwell has been talking
turkey for more than 40 years,
first as a turkey farmer and now
as owner of Cornwell’s Turkey
House, “Home of the world’s
best turkey sandwich.”
He sells baked turkey sand
wiches, barbecued turkey, tur
key salad, smoked turkey, tur
key franks and turkey dinners
— including turkey chow mein.
Cornwell transformed Tur
keyville from a three-table lun
chroom into a million-dollar-a-
year business. He also put it on
the map — or at least got the
state to put a highway sign on
1-69 north of Marshall so people
could find it.
“If you have something peo
ple like, they’ll find you in the
middle of a cornfield,” said
Cornwell, who sometimes is re
ferred to as “the mayor.”
Cornwell stopped raising tur
keys as his main business about
13 years ago when the govern
ment ordered him to build an
office and shower for an inspec
tor to monitor his farm, which
produced about 14,000 turkeys
a year.
At the urging of folks who had
supped on their turkey fare at
the Calhoun County Fair, he
and his wife, Marjorie, had set
up a small lunchroom at the
farm.
With the lunchroom going
fairly well and the government
moving in on his production,
Cornwell decided to become a
full-time restaurateur.
“We had this restaurant
started and we realized it would
go,” said Al, his oldest son and
partner.
And go it did. It mushroomed
into a massive roadside re
staurant with seating space for
285 inside and another 120 at
picnic tables outside. An ice
cream parlor was added recent
ly, serving such delights as the
four-dip Gobbler’s Gourmet,
Turkeyville Supreme and a Sj.
per Tom.
Whether he’s adding a wiiij
to the restaurant or movingb&
loads of customers through th
kitchen into the ice cream pt
lor and onto the gift shop, mis
of the help comes from theeigli
Turkeyville residents — it
family.
Al’s wife, Joellyn, and
three sons all work fulltime;
Turkeyville and his son’s wivs
work there, too.
With all that employmei
and tourist trade from tin
thousands of people who
for lunch at Turkeyville, Coni
well decided it was his civit
duty to provide entertainment
for Calhoun County residents
Each year on Independenct
Day he hosts “the biggest lire
works display in Calhoun Com
ty,” complete with a Dixieland
jazz band and bagpipe players
About 25,000 people showed up
for last year’s celebration.
Town backs accused kille
United Press International
MYRTLE, Miss. — Folks in
Myrtle think of George Hacker as
a quiet, friendly man who never
eats without saying grace, takes an
interest in their problems and
“has a calming effect on people.”
The FBI says he is a killer on the
10 Most Wanted list.
Authorities say “Hacker”
actually is Charles Everett
Hughes, accused of calmly killing
four people in Florida when they
stumbled onto his drug-running
operation one night in 1977,
weighting their bodies with con
crete blocks and dropping them
into a sinkhole.
Hughes, 36, was arrested last
week in Myrtle, a town of300 peo
ple and extradited to Panama
City, Fla., to face the murder
charges.
“I don’t think he was capable of
the things they said he did,’ said
Opal Hudson, who runs the Take
Five cafe in Myrtle. “In my per
sonal view, he was a good person.
We knew George Hacker — this
Charles Hughes is somebody I
don’t know.”
A lot of people in Myrtle agree.
They have raised over $2,000 to
help in the man’s defense, and
ordered a gross of T-shirts featur
ing his handsome visage and the
words “We’re Still With You.”
A bake sale, rummage sale and
pool tournament also were held to
raise money, and some local
youngsters are mowing lawns and
donating part of their allowance.
Gerald Nolan, who trusted the
man enough to take him on as a
partner in his body shop, de
scribes him as “a real good
worker.”
