PRESS DENOUNCED
BY GEORGIA JUDGE
Jurist Tells Grand Jury Probing
Frank Case Papers Have SLAM
dered Cobb County.
DEVIATION FROM THE FACTS

MARIETTA, Ca, Sept. 1.-The
Cobb county grand jury assembled
today to investigate the lynchlng of
Leo M. Frank and take up its regu-
lar work. Judge Patterson, in his
charge, told the jury 1t was not a
special grand jury and that while its
members were not to feel they were
secret service men, it was their duty
to ferret out any crime alleged to
have been committed within the
county, "fearlessly and without hope
of reward" The Judge took occasion
to defend Cobb county against at
tacks upon it growing out of the
lynching.
In his charge he said: TN a great
deal that has been said recently In the
press the facts have been deviated from
and l want to strongly assert that the
press generally has done Cobb county a
great injustice. 1t appears that in a
great deal of the matter that has been
published, some newspaper correspond
ents have seemingly got just as far away
from the truth as they could and the re-
suit has been that Cobb county has been
made to suffer for It.
1T has been published broadcast over
the world that a lynching has recently
occurred in Cobb county. 1t is your duty
to make a thorough and complete in
vest.gation of that, as II Is OF all charges
of crime when brought to your atten-
tion."
Judge Patterson did not mention
Franks name. Thirty-five witnesses
have been called. The jury will begin
work on the case today.
Among the witnesses summoned are o.
B. Keller, a newspaper man, who will
be asked to tell how he came In posses
sion of Franks wedding ring which he
says was mysteriously delivered to him
with a request from Frank to see that
IL was returned to Mrs Frank; w. e.

Franks body Immediately after it was
