Mrs. Nina Formby and her sensa-
tional affidavit will not be used by
the State in the trial OF Leo NJ.
Frank, according to a statement Sat
urday from Attorney Frank A. Hoop
err, assisting the prosecution.
Mr., Hooper said the State had new
er attached any Importance to the
affidavit, except for the first few days,
and that when Mrs. Formby mystic
riously disappeared from the city, the
State eliminated her from the case
entirely and made no effort to To-
cate her. He said time set forth in
the affidavit and the alleged facts
were at too wide a variance with
anything the State expected to prove,
and there had been no trouble in MAX
ing the case without her.
Affidavit Did Not Fit.
"The woman's affidavit did not At
in anywhere in our case" said Mr..
Hooper. IF 1t had We would have
looked around a long time for wit
nesses to substantiate IT before we
put her on the stand. When she left
Atlanta we considered her gone for
good, and built without her. Mr.. Dor
sew and myself discussed her state
ment several times. and we decided
she could not be used to any advan-
tage."
Mr.. Hooper said 1t had been de-
cided to put the Frank case on the
calendar for the week of June 80 and
the State would be ready for trial on
that day.
when Mr.. Dorsey returns from
New York tonight or Sunday, we will
go into a conference and definitely
outline the case to be presented by
the state" said Mr.. Hooper. 1--WE had
decided to have it called Monday
morning, June 30. Unless the defense
asks for continuance, the case will
probably be tried then"
No Weak Points Remain.
He said that he had been acquaint-
ed with every bit of evidence that was
in the hands Of the State and had
studied It carefully with the Solicitor.
For one week, he said, ne and Mr..
Dorsey worked necessarily on the
sworn statements secured from the
probable witnesses.
Where there was a weak point we
either strengthened it or eliminated
II entirely. We have not depended on
the evidence of any one person alone
to build our case on make 1t stand up.
We are prepared for almost any
emergency, and feel that we have left
no stone unturned in our investiga-
ton. We are confident there are no
more mysterious witnesses to be
heard from, for we feel that we have
questioned everyone who could pos
sibly know anything of importance"
MI Hooper would not discuss the
many conflicting statements Of the
negro Jim Conley and the part he
was expected to play in the States
case.
The strong probability that Leo
Frank will not be called for trial June
20 was discussed Saturday by per-
sons interested in the case. The at
torneys for the accused man have
stated that they were prepared to go
into court at any time, although 1t is
not usual to give the defense so lit
tie time in a capital case.
Frank was arrested April 20. If
his case is called June go only two
months will have elapsed since he
was seriously suspected of being In
vowed in the crime. More time than
this ordinarily is given the attorneys
for the defense to investigate every
circumstance and story which may
point to the innocence of their client
