Based on the extracted text, this document appears to be a bill of indictment from the State of Georgia, Fulton County, against Leo M. Frank for the offense of murder. The indictment charges Leo M. Frank with the murder of Mary Phagan, which allegedly occurred on April 26, 1913. The document lists the members of the grand jury and includes formal legal language typical of indictments. This is likely related to the historical case of Leo Frank, who was convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan in 1913, a case that became infamous due to issues of antisemitism, justice, and mob violence in the early 20th century United States.
