Affidavits AZ PIentIfuI.

As a matter Of fact 1t is known
that only comparatively small num-
Der of the witnesses examined by the
Solicitor will be introduced at the
trial In the course Of his investiga-
ton he secured an affidavit from al
most every employee OF the pencil
factory. While he questioned them
closely and had each sign an afflda =
Wit, he found little that threw any
new light on the case. He examined
them. he said, to be sure that he
would overlook nothing that might
have been missed at the Coroner's in
quest or by the police.
Only a very few Of these witnesses
knew anything that could be used at
the trial, he said, and It was very
doubtful whether they would lie
called.
Scores Were Questioned.
Other witnesses by the score were
brought to the Solicitors office as a
result Of the wild rumors connecting
with the crime women who had seer
Mary Phagan at various times during
the day. The result of these affidavits
was only to establish the fact that
they knew nothing Of the crime, and
in the greater number of instances
they did not know Mary Phagan.
When the Solicitor returns to the
city Saturday or Sunday. he will an
nounce definitely whether he will go
to trial June so, and if it Is decided
to do so, a jury will be drawn and
subpenaes will be issued for wit
nesses The defense win in all prob
ability summon its own witnesses,
although each side will have to ac-
quaint the other with the names be-
fore the case goes to trial.
