mobile in Marietta or Cobb County
is asked to enter his car for this
event and help make this parade
larger and more beautiful than that
of last year. Several floats from
various parts of the county have
been entered and will be beautiful

many more will be entered so a fine
display of Cobb County’s agricultu
ral resources may be made for the
South Georgia Bocsters. A hand
scme prize will be offered for the
most beautiful touring car, an
other for the most beautiful small
car and still another for the most
beautifully decorated Ford.
The Pathe Moving Picture Co. has
been given the exclusive right to
make pictures of this parade and car
nival. These views will be display
ed all over the country in the Pathe
Animated Weekly and will be a big
advertisement for Marietta and Cobb
County.
Another prize has been offered
the most beautiful decorated store
windew. This contest is free to all
and it is expected that every mer
chant in Marietta will be interested
and that all the stores will be among
the attractions for carnival day.
Let everybody come put aside all
thoughts of war and other disturb
ing incidents and have our Glad Day
with a true carnival spirit.

GRAND JURY PRESENTHMENTS:
JULY ADJ'D TERM, 1915,
GEORGIA, COBB COUNTY:
To the Honorable H. L. Patterson.
Judge of the Superior Court of the
Blue Ridge Circuit:
We, the regular Grand Jury drawn
for the July Term, 1915, of the Cobb
Superior Court, and called together
for the purpose of investigating the
violation of the laws of the State
of Georgia in Cobb County, at this
the July Adjourned Term of Cobb
Superior Court, beg leave to make
these our special presentments: -
FIRST. We have diligently in
quired, without envy, hatred or ma
lice, and without fear, favor, affec
tion, reward, or hope thereof, into
all the circustances connected with
the killing of Leo M. Frank. We
have worked faithfully and hard to
discover who were the perpetrators
of this crime.
We have had the active co-opera
tion of the Governor of the State, he
giving us all information that he
has; of the Attorney General of the
State, and especially have we had the
active co-operation of the Solicitor
General of this Circuit, and of the
Sheriff and his deputy in Cobb coun
ty, and have examined before our
body every witness we could find
who might know anything pertain
ing to this matter.
We have found several clues, but
ha:e been unable to find anyone who
could identify any party. We have
doxte our best, under our oath, and
we regret to state that we have beeu
unaple to find enough evidence to
indict anyone for this crime.
We have made a list of all of the
witnesses we had before us. The
Solicitor General was before our
body, and personally examined these
witnesses, and we have turned this
list over to him for his infermation,
to follow up at another Grand Jury
if any more evidence can be found to
connect any person or persons with
the death of Leo M. Frank.
We have been unable to connect
anybody with the perpetration of
this offense, or to identify anyone
who was connected with it, although
we have investigated the informa
tion furnished us by officers and
other parties and have fcllowed up
letters which have been received by
the cofficials, both signed and un
signed, and to this end we have sub
poenaed and examined many witness
e3 in an effort to disclose the per
peirators of this crime, but none of
these witnesses could identify any
of the parties.
SECOND. From careful investi
gation, we find that the reports
which have gone all over the coun
try of lawlessness in Cobb County
and the City of Marietta, before and
after this crime, are untrue. We
find, from investigation, that the
officers of the law, and the citizens
of our town and county, knew noth
ing of this crime until they heard of
the body being found near Frey’s
Gin in this County. The City of
Marietta and the County of Cobb
were quiet before this trouble, are
quiet now, and all reports to the con
trary are untrue.
THIRD. We have done our best
to do our duty, and ferret ocut this
crime, and regret to report that we
