GEORGIA is FAR
AHEAD OF GREAT
BRITAIN in crime

Atlanta, Sept. with fourteen
murder trials confronting the Fulton
county superior court this fall, and
the heavy criminal dockets in Other
cities of the state, Georgia has the
melancholy distinction of leading the
world in homicides. OF course, i
must be taken into consideration that
the majority of the cases are among
negroes, but by no means all of them
are.
1t is a fact that more homicides
have been committed in Fulton coun-
ty alone the past month than during
