Monday, 18th August 1913 Men on Frank Jury Must Be Some Mighty Good Husbands Asserts the Deputy in Charge

The Atlanta Constitution,

August 18th, 1913

“In my five years of experience as deputy sheriff in the criminal division of Fulton superior court,” said Plennie Miner, who needs an introduction to no one, “I have had to handle many, many juries in many famous murder cases, but I have never had less trouble and more ease in providing for twelve men than in the Leo Frank trial.

“In the average jury, there are men from every walk of life, farmers, engineers, baggage men, clerks, merchants and professionals of all character. Some retire early at-night, some sit awake until past midnight. Some arise early and some kick on getting up even as early as 9 and 10 o'clock. A jury of this type is more or less troublesome, as would be expected, and they generally are a bad class lo attend to.

“But not so with the men in the Frank trial. They are a family almost to themselves, and have becomes as attached to each other as closely as brothers. They retire at the same hour, get up simultaneously, and never complain on food, service or the censorship, of their mall and literature.

“The Frank jury, in my mind, is the ideal jury. I have had an experience is wide as the next man, if not wider, and I'm in a position to know. They take whatever comes, and never grumble. There hasn't been a complaint since the trial, and there never will be. If they are equally as agreeable and logical at home by their wives. I don't think l’ll hear a whisper of contradiction in saying that there isn't an unhappy family in the whole twelve."
