Sharon McMahonHOST
Leo's would-be kidnappers also included the current and former mayors of Marietta, the town where Mary Fagan was buried.
Sharon McMahonHOST
One of the former mayors, Eugene Clay, was now the Solicitor General of the Blue Ridge Circuit Court District, making him the most powerful law officer from the Cobb County line north to the Tennessee border.
Sharon McMahonHOST
The Marietta Mayors may have been riding in a car with Bolin Glover Brumby, a descendant of the founder of the Georgia Military Institute, who was taught as a child that Yankee was a dirty word.
Sharon McMahonHOST
These men were joined by William Fry, former sheriff of Cobb County, and Newt Morris, a circuit court judge who became a shady real estate magnate around Marietta.
Sharon McMahonHOST
Those who did business with him knew to keep their canceled checks in case the judge later claimed nonpayment for work and tried to sue.
Sharon McMahonHOST
When Judge Morris learned of Leo's commutation, he said, Are we to understand that anybody except a Jew can be punished for a crime? Another accomplice was called Black Newt because of his dark tan complexion, acquired while running the Cobb County convict camp chain gang.
Sharon McMahonHOST
Black Newt would patrol the line of convicts with a pistol holstered to his leg and a bullwhip at the ready.
Sharon McMahonHOST
He was so good with his bullwhip that some took to calling him Whipping Newt.
Geoff KoskiGUEST
And so that was a light bulb really went off for us, not just me, but our team to that the future of Roswell and frankly, most of, you know, the five core counties of Metro Atlanta is redevelopment.
Geoff KoskiGUEST
We were doing work in Cobb County.
Geoff KoskiGUEST
It's the same story, right? Cobb County has attracted so many families for so long.
Geoff KoskiGUEST
It's been the place, you know, along with Roswell and Alpharetta over the past 25 years, you know, create a family, get a good job, move to this place that has good schools, sort of the American dream.
Geoff KoskiGUEST
That dream is still alive.
Dave RobertsHOST
And it's the same thing in Hiram.
Dave RobertsHOST
You can have identical restaurants in Hiram and in Cobb County.
Dave RobertsHOST
The one in Cobb County will be acceptable.
Dave RobertsHOST
The one in Hiram will be crap.
Doug ShawHOST
Yep.
Cary HirschsteinGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I think it's a number of things, right? One, it is really thinking about your local market and what matters to that local market.
Cary HirschsteinGUEST
I think what the Braves did that was brilliant in moving out to Cobb County, they saw a gap for people who are living and working nearby who wanted a place to go and walk around.
Cary HirschsteinGUEST
They wanted entertainment.
Cary HirschsteinGUEST
They wanted things to do.
Cary HirschsteinGUEST
And I think what's been amazing is that it's exceeded expectations that it's not just drawing, you know, those local folks.
Cary HirschsteinGUEST
It's a regional draw.
Cary HirschsteinGUEST
Three-quarters of the people that came to the Battery last year were from outside Cobb County.
Cary HirschsteinGUEST
So it's really about that mix.
Geoff KoskiGUEST

Shane BacklerPANELIST
Thank you for helping highlight the differences between some of the down ticket races.
Shane BacklerPANELIST
There are some really small races on certain ballots where no information is available at all, such as Cobb County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor and Surveyor.
Shane BacklerPANELIST
Obviously, these aren't high profile races.
Shane BacklerPANELIST
So where can voters looking to make informed choices find additional information?
Greg BluesteinHOST
It's all about water conservation districts and those races.
Greg BluesteinHOST
Specifically in
Patricia MurphyHOST
Cobb County.
Patricia MurphyHOST
It is a ratings gold.
Ray RussellHOST
He's disappeared from the card, but we do get Les Thornton over Terry Gibbs.
Ray RussellHOST
I should mention this is in Marietta, Georgia, now Cobb County Civic Center, July the 11th.
Ray RussellHOST
So it's Thornton over Gibbs.
Ray RussellHOST
Tito Santana defeating Bobby Garrett.

The company has said the X2 went through a multitude of safety tests.
speaker_9SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Back in Georgia, Cobb County's major crimes unit says it is investigating the incident.
speaker_9SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Shit.
speaker_9SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Wow.
Diana ElderHOST
So, for instance, Royston appears as Royster, as we talked about in the 1850 census in Alabama, and as Roysdon in Louisiana, when one of the associated family members, Solomon Royston, ends up in Louisiana.
Diana ElderHOST
And then Irwin appears as Javin in the 1870 Cobb County census.
Diana ElderHOST
So that probably was supposed to be an I and it just got written down or maybe looking at it, we thought it was a J because I would think that's kind of, that doesn't sound the same, Irwin and Javin or who knows, maybe it did.
Diana ElderHOST
And then we have Cessna, which has some really interesting things.
Cam CookseyHOST
I'm going to pull this up on the screen while you guys are coming up with the answer.
Cam CookseyHOST
BoomDiggity said, Cam, did Cobb County still require American government in 12th grade when you graduated? I think it was...
Cam CookseyHOST
Yes, I think it was 12th grade.
Cam CookseyHOST
I think 11th grade was Georgia government, like state government for Georgia.
