The Fulton county Brand jqry this morninB unanimously adopted the following resolutions touching the causes leading up to the rioting in Atlnnta on last Saturday night: “Grand Jury Room, Atlanta, Oa., Sept. 27, 1JK16.—We, the members of the grand jury of Fulton county, Georgia, believing that the sensational manner in which the afternoon newspapers 1 of Atlanta have presented to the people the news of the various criminal acts recently committed in this county, has largely influ enced the creation of the spirit animating the mob of last Satur day night, and that tbe editorial utterances of The Atlantq News for some time past have been calculated to create a dig- regard for the proper administration of the law. and to promote the organization of citizens to act outside of the law in the pun ishment of crime; • “And believing further that the distribution by The Atlnnta News of sensational and heavy-leaded extras on Saturday night among a large crowd of excited men and boys who thronged the streets, greatly inflamed the crowd and promoted the formation of the mobs: . “Therefore, resolved, That the sensationalism of the after noon papers in the presentation of the criminal news to the pub lic prior to the riots nf Saturdnv night, especially in the case of The Atlanta News, deserves our severest condemnation, and wc trust that, in the interest of law and order in Fulton county, there may be for the future a cessation of such journalistic methods. ” » A.
