Editor Note
Identified as "Brother Trusty" on the AFS card, this singer is assumed to be E.L. Trusty, whom the Lomaxes recorded in Paintsville in early September, although the drastically different fidelities between the sessions make absolute confidence difficult. Unclear how they met again in West Liberty, or if somehow these later recordings were geographically misidentified. Trusty refers to "Pond Creek, Kentucky, right over here," after the performance - a site much closer to Paintsville than to West Liberty - although that is arguably a casual comment.

Henson was known as "Daugh" (AFS cards - and 1940 census - spell it "Daw"). Followed by Lomax and Henson (and unidentified women) discussing the principals in the ballad. Henson seems reticent, and Lomax apparently doesn't understand the use of the term "commonwealth side" in reference to the state enforcers.
