THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. 8ATLHDAY. XtilTKMlIKIl JJ, lWb. PICTURE ON OPPOSITE PAGE / i shows just what was done on last Satur- V ’ . day. In view of the Grand Jury’s state ment, and the efforts of some of the V * . newspapers to include The Georgian in the responsibility for the mob, we are compelled to publish it. The Grand Jury, the Mayor, the Council, the Chief of Police ’ and nearly everybody else seem to blame the newspapers. We insist thatTheGeorgian shall not be included. The Georgian printed no papers other than the regular edi tions Saturday nor since. We have always moved along steadily and carefully, and have considered the best interests of all the people, and in justice to itself, The Georgian shall en deavor to set itself right with all its readers. FULTON GRAND JURY FIXES RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECENT RIOTING The Fulton county grand jury this morning unanimously adopted the following resolutions touching the causes lending up to the rioting in Atlnnta on last Saturday night: “Grand Jury Room, Atlanta, Qa., Sept. 27, 1906.—We, the member* of the grand jury of Fulton county, Georgia, believing that the sensational, manner in which the afternoon newspapers 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 the editorinl utterances of The Atlnnta News for some time past have been calculated to create a dis 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 Atlanta News of sensational and heavy-tended extras on Suturdny 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 nfter- noon papers in the presentation of the criminal news to the pub lic prior to the riots of Saturday night, especially in the case of' The Atlanta News, deserves our severest condemnation, and wo 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, J.
