The county officials declined to dis
Cuss the interview, but it was admitted
that the story told by Miss Cowan was

ed. 1t is presumed that added details
were furnished by Miss COwan under
probable questioning by the county Of

A representative of the Journal inter-

however. that County Attorney Leigh
held a conference with State Attorney
General Hannibal f. Hamlin, who was
| i'll Rockland, over the telephone last
evening and it is presumed that the
new evidence in the Hackett case was
| reported to him.
! Just what action, if any, is contem-
plated by the county officials, could not
be learned, although County Attorney
Leigh admitted to the Journal repre-
sentative that he WAS now undecided as
to whether the evidence in the Hack
cit case would be presented to the pres
cnt session Of the grand jury or not
This simple statement appears to pos
| scss considerable Significance, as Coun-
ty Attorney Leigh was quite positive
| last week that no action would be TAX
en- ut this session of the grand jury un-
| less new and important evidence was
| brought to light.
The opinion still seems to prevail
| however. that the case will not go to
the Grand jury at the session which
opers today.
