⁣The jury was sent, and Rosser argued that the state should show only general character. Attorney Dorsey replied that while the state cannot bring a specific lawsuit, the defendant's statement that he never had a woman in his office cast doubt on that stage of his character. Attorney Rosser disagreed, arguing that witness testimony was submitted to the defense and that James Conley's testimony was refuted. Judge Roan ruled that testimony was admissible if it contradicted the testimony of one of the defense witnesses. Attorney Rosser responded to the ruling by requiring the defense witness to be brought back to the table for cross-examination before the lawyer can testify inconsistently with the defense witness. The jury returned to court and Miss Griffin remained on the witness stand. The most important detail in this audio-video document is the three witnesses who testified against Leo M. Frank. When the first witness, Miss Martis Cato, was asked if she knew Frank's general character about women, she said "no." second witness, Mrs. Asked if he knew Frank's general personality when it comes to relationships, RM Dunigan said, "No." Third witness, Mrs. H.J. Johnson was asked if she was aware of Frank's general reputation for women, but she didn't say much.

The defense was unable to cross-examine all but addresses. Dorsey said one of the women was willing to testify that Frank made a lewd proposal to her in her private room and used a wrench before fleeing her room. Dewey Huwell, who was brought to Atlanta from the Good Shepherd's home in Cincinnati, said Frank knew Mary Phagan and saw him conversing with her. Witnesses were asked how many times they spoke with Mary Phagan and how many times they put their hands on her shoulders. He called her Maria and stood near her when she spoke.

On the afternoon of Wednesday, August 20, both sides were taking a break, and it took less than an hour to submit the rebuttal. Witnesses and doctors' testimony contradicted Dr. Harris and pawnbroker Nathan Sinkowitz vowed that Mie McCoy pawned his watch in January and that it would remain his property until August. Some disputed the tram driver's statement that little George Epps was not with him when he came into town on the day Mary died.

⁣A key fact in the audiobook is that Frank punched Mary Phagan in the left eye and threw her to the ground before dropping her body down an elevator shaft and hovering around the factory until Frank left. Arnold's job was to convince the jury that Mary Phagan's murder was as easily explained by Conley's theory as it was by Frank's. The charges centered on Frank because he was the only man in the factory. And it wasn't until long after Frank was arrested that no one noticed the opening of the elevator, the most crime-prone part of the factory. Stearns may think he's fighting for truth and justice, but it's like the Court of Appeal decision he read out this morning. Evidence obtained through persecution, torture, or third degree is dangerous evidence. A key detail in the document is that Jim Conley, a black man, was able to come up with a story to protect himself from detectives who tried to accuse Frank, and that the detectives feared being criticized if they did not proceed with the case. It means that against Frank. The document also notes that investigators fear criticism if they do not pursue a case against Frank, and that the attorney general has vowed to enforce the law impartially. The document also notes that investigators fear criticism if they do not pursue a case against Frank, and that the attorney general has vowed to enforce the law impartially. The most important detail in this document is that, apart from Dalton, he is the only other male who has been in the factory with a woman between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. when Frank was always having lunch. The man said he only saw Dalton enter through the front door and did not know where he entered the building. The text also discusses the fact that the Clark Woodworks Company and the Pencil Factory used the same entrance, and that Dalton left a slimy snake trail wherever he went to the factory or the Woodworks Company. . The sentence ends by asking if there is anything else about this factory that makes it different from other factories. The lyrics are about a Georgia factory that had star-piercing eyes, Black's watching eyes, Pat Campbell's eagle-like eyes, and Scott's eyes. The Atlanta riots raid a factory, and the Beavers form a sub-squad to hunt down the bad guys. Would you have run away if the factory had been contaminated? If Schiff and Dalton had left the factory messy, they would be on the run by now.

⁣An important detail in the document is that the evidence showed Schiff and Darley were immoral, and that Attorney Hugh M. Dorsey's speech was the most notable at the trial. He was on site for more than 11 hours, speaking over three days, beginning with the Friday afternoon attorney list deadline. His prosecution against Frank is perhaps the toughest ever against a defendant in a national murder trial. The crime was extraordinary, a horrific crime, a most heinous crime, a diabolical crime, and it required vigilant, earnest, conscientious effort on the part of the detective and defendant. The four Messers who played against us were Arnold and Rosser, and two Messer Haas.

This case was important because of the importance, reputation and skill of the attorneys hired against us, and the manner in which these gentlemen argued this case was exceptional. The main content of the text is that the defendant and his friends were slandered and abused by investigators, and that they used stereotypical expressions such as prejudice and perjury when alleging the case. The defendant's mother has accused the defendant of being a dog, and investigators are disappointed that the case is not based on the fact that the defendant is Jewish. The defendant's ancestors were civilized when our ancestors ate cannibalism, and the defendant respects this defendant's race of origin. Defendant's ancestors praise the race that gave birth to Disraeli and Jeremiah, that our ancestors were cannibalistic and civilized.

Father Benjamin, Strauss, Rabbi Mark, Abe Hamel, and Swartz are all well-known figures in American and British history. Father Benjamin was a great lawyer and Strauss was a diplomat who sank on the Titanic. Rabbi Mark was a business associate of Father Benjamin. Abe Hamel died in New York and Swartz paid a fine for stabbing a girl. These examples show that this great people are subject to the same laws as Africans. David was once a great man, but he put old Uriah at the head of a great battle to take his wife. Benedict Arnold was brave and enjoyed the trust of all his people until he betrayed his country. Oscar Wilde was an Irish knight who had a high reputation until his conviction. His cross-examination should be read with admiration.

⁣The point of this article is that good character is worth no penny in lawsuits, and crime is not just for the poor. Examples include McCune, Richardson, Henry Clay Beatty, and other highly intelligent individuals who have committed serious crimes. These examples show that good character is not worth a penny when you have a criminal record, and that crime is not just for the poor. Good character is not worth a penny when accused. And this crime is not just for the poor. The investigators in the case were vilified and denounced, but a jury of Virginia farmers destroyed Beatty and elevated the federal public to a higher level.

Crippen of England was a doctor of high standing who killed his wife because of an infatuation for another woman. Jim Conley was impeached except by those with their hands in the till of the National Pencil Factory, and his general character was unimpeached except by the words of the hirelings of the National Pencil Factory. His relations with Miss Rebecca Carson were shown to have gone to the dressing room with him, and his own witness, Miss Jackson, sustains Jim Conley and Miss Kitchens, who worked on the fourth floor, as to what they did April 26. Jim Conley, Truman McCreary, Monteen Stover, Lemme Quinn, Dalton, Daisy Hopkins, Ivy Jones, Albert McKnight, and Mignola McKnight are all defendants in the case. Jim Conley is a Negro who gets his living from the pencil factory, and has sustained Truman McCreary, Monteen Stover, Lemme Quinn, Dalton, Daisy Hopkins, the blood on the second floor, Holloway's testimony, Ivy Jones' testimony, Albert McKnight's testimony, and Mignola McKnight's repudiated affidavit. Jim Conley has also written for Truman McCreary, Monthine Stover, Leme Quinn, Dalton, Daisy Hopkins, Blood Upstairs, Holloway's Testimony, Ivy Jones' Testimony, Albert McKnight's Testimony, and Mignola McKnight's Verified rejected affidavits. Jim Conley's story is based on the fact that no black man in the history of the race has ever written a memo reporting a crime. The note stated that Mary had been attacked on her way back from a natural disaster, and that her only restroom she knew was in a metal room upstairs. Frank's testimony was Jim, who said that Frank's mind was troubled by the problem of disposing of the corpse and that he decided it would be better to get a coupon book and have everyone sign for the money they got. This corroborates Conley's description. The fact that there is no record to prove that Frank has paid off the loan supports Jim Conley's account that the problem of disposing of the bodies weighed heavily on Frank's mind.

⁣An important detail in the document is that defendant Jim Conley did not enter the jury room because his heart and conscience were focused on the crime he had just committed. Frank cheered me up when I told him I had relatives in Brooklyn. Mr. Rosser asked Conley whether Minsey was a myth or a diabolical perjury, and if he didn't produce him, why would he produce him for a jury? The defendant's actions, words, and circumstances prove his guilt in the murder of young Mary Phagan, and he failed his duty and broke his oath. woman. Both the defendant's wife, Mrs. Lucille Franck, and her mother, Mrs. Ray Franck, seemed concerned when Coleman interrupted him as he gagged the girl in the petticoat.

⁣⁣Frank took the stand Monday afternoon and gave the most remarkable testimony ever given in a Georgia criminal court. He spoke for three short pauses, interrupted twice by Lawyer Dorsey, and once for a sip of water. When he finished speaking, his voice was so clear that the audience gasped. After Frank's argument, the courtroom fell into complete silence for ten seconds, then almost simultaneously broken by Leo Frank's sobbing and Arnold's terse dismissal order.

He also refuted CB Dalton's affidavit stating that two women had come to his office for immoral reasons.

He explained that it was Frank's habit to prepare financial reports every Saturday afternoon, a task he could not complete in less than 2-3 hours.

⁣The second week of the trial began on Monday, August 4, with the introduction of James Conley, a black factory cleaner and the only witness directly linking Frank to the crime. The public waited anxiously for the Negroes to take their stand, and when it was announced that the Negroes would be interrogated that day, a large, never-before-seen crowd surrounded the courtroom. From the bench, Judge L.S. Roan told all the women present to leave. Mr. James Conley took the stand and told glibly how the dead girl's body was taken to the cellar under the direction of Superintendent Frank. He once caught Frank exhibiting a compromising attitude toward women in his factory office, monitored him at the front door of the building on Saturday afternoons and early on a public holiday, and on the 2nd, confirmed that Frank was with a woman. made sensational claims that they were on secret dates.

Witnesses said Friday afternoon that Frank had instructed them to return to the factory on Saturday morning. The most important detail in this document is Conley's conversation with Mr. Frank on Saturday morning. Conley tells how he went to the dry cleaners in the capital and met Frank on Nelson and Forsyth streets. Back at the factory, Dorsey asked if he could turn the knob on the front door so no one could enter.

Back at the factory, he is asked by Dorsey if he can turn the knob on the front door so no one can enter. The most important detail in the document is that the young woman, Mr. Frank, and the witness were talking about a young woman who wanted to borrow money. The witness pointed to his right shoulder and said, 'Don't let Dolly see me answering the lawyer's question.'
The Negroes said they saw Leme Quinn, Mary Phagan, and Monteen Stover enter the building in order of their names. After going upstairs, witnesses heard footsteps heading towards the office, then towards the metal room. The next thing he heard was her screaming. The state attorney general argued, but the witness heard no more. Who was the next person the witness saw going up the stairs? Miss Monteen Stover was wearing tennis shoes and a red coat. She stayed up for a while, but she came down again. Then Tiptus came out of the metal department and Tiptus ran back. The narrator then heard Mr. Frank stamping on them. The narrator got up and locked the door, then sat back on the box for a while. Finally I heard Mr. Frank's whistle. Just minutes after the stamp, the narrator heard him whistle.


⁣An important detail in the audio recording is that Mr. Frank was standing at the top of the stairs, shaking, rubbing his hands together, and acting strangely. He had a little cord in his hand and his eyes were wide open and wild. Conley testified that Frank had returned to the medal room and that Mary Phagan had resisted his advances. Frank said there was a fight and the girl fell and injured herself. Conley said that Frank was aware that he was different from other men and interfered with the young Superintendent having a strange relationship with another girl. Direct questioning of Conley lasted less than two hours, and his cross-examination was perhaps the most notable feature of the trial. Luther Z. Rosser bombarded Negroes with questions to bring them down, but Negroes never lost their minds. James Conley's trial was a test of physical endurance. Attorney Arnold appeared to testify, but Mr Dorsey objected and Judge Roan ordered Rosser to continue the inquiry. Conley's testimony was transcribed by four stenographers in a half hour shift, and defense attorneys received a copy of the official testimony two hours after it was entered into the minutes.

Attorney Rosser asked him about cases he had seen before, and although Black did not hesitate to answer, he frequently replied, "Oh, I remember." Asked him about the case, and although Black didn't hesitate to answer, he often replied, "Oh, I remember." Rosser asked him about a case he had seen before. , and Black did not hesitate to answer, although he frequently replied, "Oh, I remember." He didn't hesitate to say, "Oh, I remember." The most important detail in the document is the women's first visit to the factory, which happened about two weeks later on Saturday.

Witnesses were told that Frank had come early in the morning and said he wanted to preach in the afternoon. Frank returned to the office at about 9:00 p.m. that afternoon, and shortly afterwards Miss Daisy Hopkins walked in, followed her up the stairs, and saw her enter the office. Frank snapped his fingers and bowed his head, then went downstairs and looked at the front door. The next visit was before Thanksgiving, early in the winter, but Negro noticed the trap and skillfully avoided it. During questioning, the witness was instructed to describe what happened the next time the woman visited the factory.

⁣The most important detail of the document is that the Negro used the same words every time he spoke on the subject, and that the woman had the same white hair as Mr. Hooper. She wore a green suit, black skirt and white shirt. Rosser then questioned Conley about her last Thanksgiving, when she was again Frank's lookout. Ms Conley was waiting by the door for her woman to come, she said she saw her in Mr Frank's office about three days ago. When I found the boxes in Mr. Frank's office about three days ago, he was stacking a few boxes on top and noticed they looked fine. This Thanksgiving morning, Mr. Conley closed the door behind him. A key detail in the document is that of Conley's affidavit to the police, which shows that he lied to investigators' questioning. The defense unexpectedly demanded that all of Conley's remarks about Frank's observations over the past few days and the remarks of a black person attacking his character be deleted from the record. It was the most scathing case of the entire case, in which the defense unexpectedly deleted from the record all of Conley's statements regarding Frank's observations over the past few days, as well as statements by a black man who attacked his character. moved to A key detail in the document is that of Conley's affidavit to the police, which shows that he lied to investigators' questioning. The defense unexpectedly demanded that all of Conley's remarks about Frank's observations over the past few days and the remarks of a black person attacking his character be deleted from the record. Attorney Arnold requested a jury and announced that he wanted the testimony removed from the record because it was irrelevant, immaterial, incompetent and unacceptable. He also demanded that all of Conley's testimony regarding the defendant's surveillance be removed from the record, as well as some black testimony that attacked Frank's character and was voiced through questioning by his lawyers. . . Judge Loon spoke up and said Mr. Arnold wanted to retract his testimony regarding the observation. Attorney Hooper said granting the motion would be a gimmick with the court. If her appeal had been filed at the time this testimony was made, the appeal was granted. The most important detail of this passage is that Frank bowed his head and his mother put her arms around his neck and tapped him on the shoulder, whispering in her ear. Attorney Dorsey addressed the court, arguing that this evidence was admissible. Mrs. Rosser interrupted him and asked him to leave it out as it was irrelevant. Lawyer Dorsey replied that it would not be right to allow this gentleman to give this witness two days of rigorous ordeal, cross-examine his testimony, and then come asking him to exclude certain parts of his testimony. That would make it impossible to corroborate this witness's testimony regarding Frank's actions.

⁣Lawyers have announced that more witnesses are waiting to corroborate Jim Conley's testimony. Had the evidence been deleted from the record, he argued, the state's case would have been greatly damaged. He appealed to the court to warn his lawyers that the challenge must be timely because it deals with the operations of the National Pencil Factory and the disclosure of Conley's affairs with six different men. . He also asked the defense to present the judgments handed down over the past five years against this principle because of the slow progress in the courts. The most important detail of this passage is the meaning of Mr. M's testimony. Defendant's wife Frank during Frank's indictment by Attorney Dorsey.

Ms. Frank rose from her seat to the waiting room and returned to the courtroom with new tears in her eyes. Arnold described the evidence in question as "miserable and rotten" and said the defendant suffered a great deal from being involved in the case. Although he sympathized with the girl's parents more than anyone else, he said trying to convict the defendant by bringing up illegal and irrelevant evidence was tantamount to murder. The state wants to put this man on the witness stand and support his outrageous story, which contains many irrelevant facts. The murder is clearly labeled and the state doesn't even claim it was premeditated.

Arnold attacked the Supreme Court ruling cited by Dorsey, arguing that the ruling was written in a case involving the illegal sale of cocaine, not a murder case. He argued that if this evidence were admitted, the murder investigation would have to be stopped and investigations into the other two cases opened. Arnold also argued that it would be unfair to require the defendant to comment on such allegations without notice, requiring the defendant to call every employee at the factory and knowing how many other witnesses there were. Only he would know. If you can present such evidence, you can refute it. It was illegal testimony, and by sowing that suspicion on the jury, they have done us immeasurable damage.

Judge Roan interrupted Mr. Arnold's remarks that everything related to that day's observations on April 26 was related to this case. Judge Roan issued a ruling that this evidence was not admitted as an original proposal and that all but observation was prohibited for the day. Hooper petitioned the judge to stay the verdict until Wednesday, but the court refused. Judge Roan added that he was prepared to reverse the verdict if he was erroneously certified. The jury was then brought back to court, and Conley's cross-examination was resumed by attorney Rosser.

Starnes, the official prosecutor in the case, testified many key facts about the city police investigation. Starnes testified Sunday morning that Frank was nervous and shivering. He also described bloodstains on the floor of the metal room and swore he found more bloodstains on nail heads 50 feet from the elevator.

Arguments erupted frequently in the early days of the case, and juries were acquitted.

The most important detail of this text is E. F. Holloway, the factory's day-time warden, was arrested and charged with testifying that he had left the switch box that controlled the elevator motor unlocked on the day of the murder.

This was in direct contradiction to the state's murder theory that Frank had called Conley to help dispose of the body and then entered the office and retrieved the key to the container before starting the machine. E.F. Holloway said he left the elevator locked when he got home, which contradicts the state's murder theory. The witness did not deny his affidavit, but he said he forgot to look at the bulletin board. On May 10, Pinkerton detective McWorth found blood, a baton, and several pieces of string, believed to have been used to strangle the girl.

Arnold probably the Prosecutor assigned to assist the defense of the greatest criminal. The hearing was originally scheduled for June 30 on the Supreme Court schedule, but was postponed after Justice L.S. Roan promised to take Mrs. Roan to the beach the first week of July.

The defense had said Connolly murdered the girl on the first floor and dumped her in a puddle. On May 10, a man named McWorth and Whitefield ran the factory. They found a corner of a pay envelope with Mary Phagan's name and a two-digit number written on it, and that the Pinkerton field manager, Harry Scott, had been out during the investigation into Mary Phagan's murder.

Conley replied that he had killed a white girl, and Mincey left the belligerent black man. Chief Ranford recalled that while Conley was making sensational remarks, Mincey called police headquarters and asked for an interview on the pretext that he wanted to identify a drunk black man. An important detail in the document is that Mincey was brought to Atlanta on her subpoena, but she was not asked to appear on the witness stand. Dorsey was summoned for him and had 25 witnesses trying to prosecute him.

Mincey had written several books on mind-reading, and his lawyer had copies of them available for cross-examination. In one litigation case, Jim Conley never admitted to writing only one of the memos, so the attorney continued to undergo both peer reviews. Eventually, Dorsey took them to New York, where one of the country's most prominent experts stated that Jim Conley had written both.

Mr. Dorsey defended his position by blocking his move to indict a black man at every meeting of the grand jury. Some of the grand jurors were determined to indict Blacks, and Dorsey continued to protest. He is convinced that the charges against Conley will serve no purpose and will lead to miscarriage of justice, and if he stays, Attorney General Frank will be tried before Conley. An important detail of the document is that the jury voted on the propriety of presenting evidence against Conley, and Dorsey understood his point. The atmosphere on the issue was so tense that one grand juror immediately appealed to the Supreme Court and resigned from the jury on the grounds of jury bias. Before Frank could actually go to trial, another grand jury was appointed, and lawyers vehemently protested to foreman Deep Beatty, calling a meeting to consider Conley's matter. Dorsey walked unfazed, devoting virtually all of his time to preparing Frank's case. Shortly after Frank's indictment, an incident occurred that fueled hatred of Dorsey among Frank's sympathizers. In a roundabout way, he claims that Albert McKnight, Minola's husband and Salig family cook, has sensational evidence of Frank's behavior in the home, as well as alleged testimony from family members. I found out Detectives Stearns and Campbell were also present when Minola McKnight, who lives at 351 Pulliam Street, Atlanta, Georgia, testified that Mr. Frank left his home at 8:00 a.m. on the morning of Saturday, April 26, 1913 and her husband Albert and she was there. Albert had gone home that night, but he came back. Mr. Frank returned home at 07:00. Albert got back at 1:15 that afternoon and Mr Frank joined him at 1:30. When the narrator arrived on the scene Sunday morning, he saw a man in a car fetching a bucket of water and pouring it into it. Mr. Frank's wife, Miss Lucille, was downstairs, and Mr. and Mrs. Bailey were upstairs. Albert was there on Sunday morning, but the narrator cannot remember when he got there. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey and Mr. Lucille were having breakfast together, but Mr. Frank was gone. After dinner, Mr. Lucille, Mr. and Mrs. Baily were talking about the girl who was caught in the office on Saturday with Mr. Frank. Lucille said she was Jewish and Mr. Frank said it was Gentile.

On Tuesday, Frank said it was Menorah and he may have to go to jail. A woman, Mrs. Frank's sister, Ms. Rosalind, told Ms. Lucille that this was terrible and that she would look into it. She said on Sunday, Lucille said Frank didn't sleep very well on Saturday night.⁣ Lucille told Sailing that her husband, Frank, was in trouble and asked him to get a pistol and kill himself. Mrs. Frank did not see her husband for two weeks before visiting. When she left her home to go to her attorney general's office, they told her to be careful with what she said. A week she was getting $350, but last week she was paying $4 and one week she was paying $650. When she left home to go to the attorney general's office, they told her to be careful with what she said.

Miss Lucille tipped her $5 to keep her quiet. Detective Stearns was in some way influenced or threatened to make this statement. A key detail in the document is that Miniola McKnight was arrested and imprisoned for refusing to testify falsely against her husband. woman. Defendant's wife, Lucille Salig Frank, one of the most prominent Jews in the South, undoubtedly skinned the attorney general and detectives. Lucille Salig Frank said her Attorney General's actions to arrest and imprison her for not willingly giving her false testimony against her innocent husband He said he was trying to limit his patience.

The following statement in the Atlanta Journal attempts to trace the course of her arrest to the point where she was whisked in a hysterical state and whisked away to the police station in a patrol car. Dorsey Her Dorsey was taken to the law firm and interrogated for over an hour by Detectives Darnes and Campbell. During the examination, she became hysterical and was tortured for four hours under third degree law. Her husband was also taken to the police station, but she was released shortly before her wife was released. GC February was asked to take full note of her remarks. This is the longest testimony the woman has ever given to the mystery.

The blacks were calm when the lawyers swore to abide by the law and came out after questioning alleging that they had violated the law and tortured them. A key detail of the document is a plan to torture witnesses until the victim's desired affidavit is obtained. The plan is to torture until the victim gives the desired affidavit, but not before. It is hoped that no civilized country can be convicted of murder by torture on the basis of testimony. Lawyers continue to use third-degree testimony, wanting to keep the jury secret about the techniques they use. In this case, if he can torture a witness as he wishes to testify against her innocent husband, he can force all other men in the community to testify against him.


⁣An important detail of the document is that the cook signed an affidavit exempting him from four hours of exhausting torture under the Atlanta Constitution. This torture process may be used to produce testimony that will be published in newspapers to bias the cases of those whose attorneys deem it appropriate to prosecute. It is also important to prevent anyone from presenting facts in favor of the defendant. Once the lawyers know this, they can arrest and torture the witnesses. Her husband was at home at noon and in the evening at the times her husband indicated on the day of her murder. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and he didn't do anything that aroused the slightest suspicion. There is no evidence against him other than that brought about by torture. Of course, this kind of evidence can be brought against anyone in the world. Ms. Leo M. Frank is the wife of a man charged with the brutal murder of a factory girl. As slander spread in the community that they were not happily married, and every conceivable rumor to the detriment of her and her husband, she I had to endure the world. Mrs. Frank knows her husband is innocent, but she doesn't understand the tricks and tricks of detectives and prosecutors.

Lawyers at the trial claimed that Frank did not approach her husband for two weeks after her imprisonment. Frank's testimony included this reply from a lawyer who read a statement published in an Atlanta newspaper and signed by Leo M. Frank. A key detail in the document is that the Fulton County Attorney General maintains a policy of refraining from newspaper interviews or explanations of the evidence the state must rely on to convict and punish perpetrators of this crime. is. A grand jury of impartial and respected community members presents indictments, and the Attorney General is tasked with assisting law enforcement by prosecuting those accused of wrongdoing. He welcomes any evidence from any source that would help an impartial jury headed by a court determine the guilt or innocence of a defendant.

The most important detail of this text relates to the prosecutor's position. Prosecutors must not allow compassion for innocent people to prevent vigorous prosecutions of those charged with committing crimes. Hugh M. Dorsey was admired for his stance by city and state workers, and anti-Frank public sentiment continued to grow. Frank's attorney, Luther Z. Rosser, accused Chief Ranford of dishonesty in his investigation and publicly accused janitor Jim Conley of the crime. As this was recognized as the determinant of the incident, it became the determinant of the incident.

⁣⁣Frank's defense alleges that Conley graduated from a third degree school and that the detectives were instructors. On May 27, Mr. Conley issued another affidavit in which he admitted to writing the memo, but added that he went to the factory on Saturday afternoon and found Mr. Frank there. He also added that he helped dispose of the bodies the next day. Chief Ranford decided to release the black man's third affidavit. On April 26, 1913, Conley returned to the pencil factory with Mr. Frank and asked him if he wanted to make money. The narrator is asked to pick up a dead girl from the men's restroom and bring her up to the elevator. They bind her with a cloth and take her to her changing room. Mr. Frank helps them back to the sawdust pile, and Mr. Frank looks at the trapdoor to see if anyone is coming. The narrator then unties the cloth and puts it back on the stove. Frank stood by the trap door and asked the narrator to take him to the basement changing room. The narrator puts her face down and drags her into the basement changing room. Mr. Frank then joins the narrator in the back of the elevator and staggers. The narrator then turned off the engine and waited for Mr. Frank to come from there and wash his hands. They then enter the office and Mr. Frank locks the narrator in a closet for seven or eight minutes. Mr. Frank then took out a cigarette and asked the narrator if he wanted to smoke.

⁣The most important detail of this text is that the narrator, James Conley, was handed a box of matches and cigarettes by Mr. Frank. He then asked the narrator to write a few lines on a white paper notepad. Mr. Frank then told the narrator to shut up and make things right. He then presented the narrator with his $200 dollars, but the narrator made no attempt to bring it out to the guards. The narrator decides to tell the truth about the matter, and Mr. Frank promises to return the report on Monday if he survives and nothing happens. The document's most important detail is the events surrounding the arrest of a notary public in Fulton County, Georgia. On Friday afternoons, Frank instructed Conley to meet near Montague Brothers, and Conley went there each day to enter the factory to do additional work. By noon, Conley was escorted to the pencil factory by six detectives in the presence of several newspaper reporters and several factory workers. He was then taken to the superintendent's office, where he wrote his dictated notes. When Secretary Ranford asked Negro whether he had been abused during his stay at headquarters, he said no. Conley was not taken back from the factory to police headquarters, but to the county jail known as The Tower, where the sheriff was in command and the police and detectives had no authority. Attorney William Smith, who was initially hired by the newspaper to represent the blacks, obtained court approval to bring the blacks back to police headquarters. Black claimed through his lawyer that Frank's friends frequently walked past his cell, beat him, accused him of lying, and even threatened his life at gunpoint. After Connolly was escorted back to the police building, the Attorney General made strident remarks about the public focus on the black man's testimony and urged detectives to keep all visitors out of his cell. An order was issued barring entry into the cell except for town detectives, including Harry Scott, aka Pinkerton, who admitted to submitting all development reports to his employer, the National Pencil Company. From then on, the public never heard of Jim Conley until he appeared in court as a witness, and until he began adding new flair by answering lawyers' questions in court, Jim Conley was the third. It was widely believed that he was obsessed with stories.

⁣An important fact in the audiobook is that James Conley, a black cleaner at the National Pencil Factory, was arrested while the coroner's autopsy was in progress. E.F. Holloway, the factory timekeeper, saw Conley washing shirts and called detectives. Conley had partially dried his shirt when police arrived, but the clothing on his back was still damp. Detective Harry Scott asked the Negro to write a few sentences, but Negro casually described his actions on the tragic Saturday, counting every minute and vowing that he never approached the factory that day. Jim Conley had a bad reputation within the factory and was arrested several times by the police. Investigators found that he had borrowed money from numerous employees and had not repaid it. On May 23, Conley admitted to third-degree charges in court that he lied about his inability to write, but he swore he knew nothing about the crime.

On Saturday morning, Conley sent Detective John Black to tell him the truth about the note he had written. Because he said Mr. Frank would send a note to his mother in Brooklyn, and her mother would introduce her to work. Detective John Black was ecstatic and demanded that he tell the truth. A key detail in the document is that Black attempted to secure an indictment of Frank Scott by taking Jim Conley to a grand jury and allowing the jury to hear him. Mr. Dorsey refused to be taken to the witness stand, but his additional diary reveals startling news. Dorsey felt he could accuse Frank without talking about blacks, but it became clear within hours that he was right. Black wanted to push through indictment by taking Jim Conley to a grand jury and allowing the jury to hear him, but Dorsey felt he could push through the indictment against Frank without Black's story. Dorsey had long meetings with blacks and detectives, from which his demographic report was compiled. Conley insisted on his story, even though detectives pointed out that Frank was behind it. He repeatedly swore he was telling the whole truth, so investigators thought he would never change his story. In his initial affidavit, James Conley said about four minutes before 1 a.m. Friday night before the bank holiday: At 12:00 a.m. Mr. Frank came down the aisle and asked me to come to his office. When he goes to his office, he asks, "Can I write?"

⁣Mr. Frank gave the narrator a notepad and asked him to write on it. He then asked the narrator if he wanted cigarettes, and he pulled out a box containing $2.50 cigarettes, two paper dollars, and two quarters. The narrator asks him not to withdraw any money he owes to the keepers, but he refuses. He then asked the narrator to buy a car for his wife, which he didn't want. Investigators were delighted to learn that the author of the murder note, James Conley, was in custody. Handwriting experts testified that the writing on the note was Newt Lee's, but it wasn't until they obtained Conley's handwriting and a sample of the murder note that it was Conley's handwriting. did not notice. Suspicions grew that Conley himself might be the killer, and investigators put him through another test. The Black man was serious about the 3rd degree murder-related charges (i.e. manslaughter).

⁣The words persecution and prejudice characterized Frank's trial. It is revealed that Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey hired a private investigator to independently investigate the tragedy and was convinced Frank was guilty. The town detectives and friends of the defendant were also convinced of Frank's innocence. Town detectives are adamant that Frank is the culprit, but he said he was open to a conviction and would follow through on any leads. Rumor has it that a girl overheard them talking on a street corner and said that they had met Mary and had been waiting outside the factory while she went to pick up her salary from Frank.

Investigators eventually located the woman in question and found she had been to the factory the Saturday before the tragedy involving the girl, where she died a week later. Colonel Thomas née Felder, a prominent Atlanta attorney, was hired by residents of Bellwood, Georgia to find and prosecute a girl murderer. He said the killer was Leo M. But Frank said to the Georgians they need to hire detectives who can solve the mystery and secure enough evidence to convict Frank if he is guilty, convict another man if Frank is innocent. said there was a need. Felder was a personal friend of William J. Burns and intended to get Burns to come to Atlanta and join the search for Factory Girl Slayer if the public donated to the fund.

Subscribers quickly grew, and Special Counsel C.W. Toby has come to Atlanta to clear a dead end and smooth his way to a famous boss. Shortly after his arrival, Toby gave an interview, stating that his theory of crime was exactly the same as the theory held by the town detectives at the time. For about a week, Felder and the Burns family were prime candidates for the investigation.

A New Yorker at the time, Flack frequently claimed, whether guilty or innocent, that a large corruption fund had been set up to save Frank. It has also been suggested that Felder and the Burns family were actually hired by Frank's friends to protect him. The suspicions of the town's detectives culminated in a dictation by the investigator and Chief of Rumford's clerk to Colonel Felder. On May 23rd, the Atlanta Journal sensationalized the famous dictator and devoted an entire front page to this scoop. Secretary Ranford accused Colonel Felder of bribing CG.

Organists are alleged to have stolen certain affidavits and documents in the Phagan case in February. Dictatorship records show Felder was negotiating the purchase of certain affidavits that were to be submitted to the city's Criminal Investigation Department, alleging that the boss and some of his members had engaged in corruption as proved. The Felder and Ranford Controversy was between the two main characters of Phagan's crime novels, Felder and Ranford. The exposure of the dictator caused a violent altercation between Felder and Ranford, but the sheriff's deputies prevented the actual altercation. A grand jury investigation into the high-profile dictator case, in which Felder was indicted for defaming Ranford, who was also charged with publicly attacking Felder, raised public awareness of the crime. , Rumors of an invisible hand at work spread further and are difficult to dispel. A war of words reached a climax, and the town detectives followed the Burnsmen's meal.

⁣On Friday, May 23, a Fulton County grand jury considered a bill to indict Frank for murder. The witnesses heard on the first day of the session were Dr. J. W. Hart, LS. Dobbs, Sergeant P. Barrett, Detective J.N. Starnes and W. W. Rogers. Despite hundreds declaring that Frank would never be found guilty, the actual bill was introduced during the second day of deliberations. Key witnesses from the second session included Harry Scott, the Pinkerton family, and Miss Montene Stover. The girl told the grand jury that when she went to pick up her paycheck on Saturday, April 26, she entered Superintendent Frank's office at exactly 12:00 pm. At 10pm she waited for 5 minutes without seeing Frank or office staff.

Shortly after she discovered Montine Stover, Harry Scott of the Pinkertons and John Black of the City Police visited Frank in the Tower, and she left her office between noon and 12:50 p.m. I asked if it came out. Frank The girl's testimony, which came in just as the state claimed Frank had returned to her metal room and strangled Mary Phagan's body, was considered very important by the attorney. Monte Stover's story was considered conclusive, speaking of Frank's repeated allegations that Scott followed her to her witness stand and did not leave her office within her stipulated period. When the grand jury remanded her truthful account. Five Jews participated in the grand jury, an unusual number for Fulton County, and there were many rumors that the indictment would be blocked before the indictment was returned. But even if one vote was cast against the bill, that fact would not be made public because each lawmaker would sign the indictment.

⁣A new Fulton County grand jury was sworn in Monday morning by Judge W.D. Ellis, underscoring the need for immediate and vigorous attention to the Mary Phagan case. Leo M. Frank was the first witness called to recount where he was and what he was doing on the day of the murder. The only other witnesses questioned that afternoon were Mr. and Mrs. Emile Selig, where the Franks lived. Frank testified that he had previously lived in Brooklyn, New York, and that he left Brooklyn in October 1907, went abroad and returned to the United States, where he worked for the National Pencil Company, where he became Superintendent General. He described how he came to the factory as usual on Saturday morning and how business as usual continued until noon at the factory.

It was a public holiday and there were only 11 people in the factory, which made his job somewhat easier. An important detail in this document is that the stenographer, Dr. Hall, and the clerk, Alonzo Mann, left the building shortly after 12:00 when Frank began copying the order into the shipping request. When the murdered girl appeared and took the envelope, Mr. Frank handed it to her knowing that an employee would come for it. Frank admits he looked up Mary Phagan's phone number since the murder, but forgot it again. He didn't record the payment on his payslip or other records because he didn't need to.

The girl went and asked if the metal came. He said the Phagan child has not been operational since Monday due to metal supply shortages. There was $20 in the child's pay sack, part of which was from work the previous Friday and Saturday. He didn't know what her salary was because he didn't open her seal when she left. Hearing her footsteps fade into her corridor, he thoughtlessly went back to her work.

The document's most important detail is the events leading up to Mary Phagan's assassination. Witness Frank identified the girl by her number and did not fill in her payslip after handing over her envelope. He then made the startling remark that, five or ten minutes after Mary Phagan left, Leme Quinn, the head of the chip department, walked into his office and had a little chat with him. Frank then went to the fourth floor and found two boys who had worked in the factory, Harry Denham, Arthur White and Mrs. White. Then he went home and spent the rest of the afternoon at work.

He explained on his financial papers that Lee had arrived in the early afternoon and told him to come back.
After Negro returned, Gant came to pick up the shoes. Then he went home and called Lee at the factory. Then he went to bed at eleven o'clock. And he continued to talk about what happened the following Sunday. When investigators ordered him to interrogate the black man and extract a confession, Frank said he told security he knew you knew something.

⁣Frank testified that he was unruffled by the grilling and bombardment of questions he had received. Emile Salig and his wife, Mrs. Josephine Salig, followed Frank on the witness stand. The inquest adjourned until 930 Thursday morning. Six witnesses testified, including Boots Rogers, Lemmie Quinn, Miss Corinthia Hall, Miss Hattie Hall, and J. L. Watkins and Miss Daisy Jones.

Boots Rogers testified that Mr. Frank had changed the tape in the time clock while the officers were in the factory Sunday morning after the body of Mary Phagan had been found, and that he stated at the time as the sheet he took from the clock seemed to be correct. J. L. Watkins and Miss Daisy Jones put through a searching examination by the coroner in an effort to break down Frank's statement that he had visited the factory on the day of the tragedy. The most important details in this text are that Miss Corinthia Hall, an employee in the factory, testified that Mr. Frank's treatment of the girls in the factory was unimpeachable and that she had met Lemme Quinn at a restaurant near the factory near the noon hour Saturday. J. L. Wattkins testified that he had mistaken Miss Daisy Jones for Mary Phagan when he thought he saw her on the street near her home on Saturday afternoon at about 5:00 p.m Eastern Standard Time.

Detective Harry Scott of the Pinkerton Agency was one of the first witnesses called, and he testified that Herbert Haas, one of Frank's attorneys, had requested him to withhold all evidence from the police until Haas himself had considered it. Detective John Black followed Scott on the stand and told of finding a bloody shirt at Lee's home on the Tuesday afternoon following the murder. Newt Lee was recalled to the stand and said that when he and Frank conversed together at the police station that Frank told him if you keep that up, your story, Newt will both go to hell. Frank was recalled to the stand and testified in The most important details in this text are the character witnesses who testified in the Phagan case. Miss Nellie Wood of Eight Corporate Street and Mrs. C. D. Donaghan of 165 West 14th Street testified that Frank had come to her and put his hands on her when it was not called for, that he was too familiar and she didn't like it, and that Frank had tried to pass it off as a joke.

Coroner Donohue began to deliver his charge to the jury, saying that they had heard the statement of the county physicians, seen what caused death, seen the body and heard the evidence in the case. The coroner's jury in the case of Mary Phagan's death was tasked with investigating the cause of death and determining who is guilty of the murder. The jury was also responsible for holding witnesses who were essential in trying the case, and for committing anyone who was concealing information. The six men forming the jury filed one by one out of the door, and the crowd waited for 20 minutes before the foreman stood up and announced the verdict. The coroner's jury had a duty to inquire diligently as to how Mary Phagan came to her death and to determine at whose hands death came.

The coroner's jury ruled that Mary Phagan had been strangled and recommended that pencil factory manager Leo M. Frank and her night watchman Newt Lee be detained for a grand jury autopsy. Frank was reading the afternoon newspaper in Tower Hall when the news broke. He declined to comment further, but Newt Lee was clearly shocked when the news broke. When the news came in, he looked defeated and very depressed.

⁣The coroner's inquest began Wednesday morning after lengthy interviews with Frank and Newt Lee at the police station Tuesday night. A large number of witnesses, including factory girls and many others, arrived at the police station to testify at the inquest. The first to testify were Constables W.F. Anderson and Brown, who detailed how they were informed of the murder and how they found the body on that harrowing Saturday night. Mr. Anderson said the basement was a long narrow enclosure between rock walls, with an elevator shaft near the front, a boiler in the middle on the right, and a partition enclosed in a junk-room-like enclosure on the left that opened. I explained that there was a restroom. The right side is behind the cauldron, the left side is behind the girl's body and behind the door. Brown followed Anderson to the witness stand and made a very damaging testimony against Newt Lee. He said it was impossible to tell that the body belonged to a white girl unless you were within a few feet of it.

Brown testified that Mary Phagan's body was found in a pile on her chair, along with her clothes, a purple dress with white trimmings, shoes, and gunmetal-black slippers around 11 o'clock. At 4:45 a.m. Newt Lee took the stand and testified that he had arrived at the factory at 4:00 a.m. He then left as Frank told him to. Detectives and police say it was face down, but he testified that he found it face up. J.Q. Spear of Cartersville saw a girl and a man outside a pencil factory on Saturday afternoon, they were excited and nervous, and the girl was seen at P.'s on Sunday. Newt Lee testified that it was the same as Chapel of J. Bloomfield. George Epps, a young newsboy who had driven into town with Mary Phagan, testified that Mary told her that Mr. Frank gave her a look and that he was suspicious. E.L. Sentell testified that he saw Mullinax with a girl he believed to be Mary Phagan late Saturday night. R. P. Barrett testified that he found bloodstains near Mary's machine on the second floor. Gant took the stand and told the same story he had already told the detectives. J.W. Coleman testified about the horror she and her mother felt on the night of the murder by Leo M. Frank. Fourth National Bank assistant teller Barry said the note found on the girl's body was written in the same hand-writing as several other notes written by black nightguard Newt Lee, detectives at police headquarters. said.

The inquest was postponed until Thursday as investigators took steps toward solving the mystery of the death of infant Mary Phagan. They concluded that Mary had only briefly gone to the factory on Saturday afternoons to collect her wages, and that she had never left the factory. Claims that Mary was seen in the middle of the night with Malenax and girls matching her description were scrutinized but found to be unfounded. Elle Center confirmed that she saw Pearl Robinson, not Mary Phagan with Mullinax. Other witnesses who are said to have seen the girl on Saturday afternoon also came forward and said they may have been wrong.

Officials have come to the plausible speculation that Mary Phagan never made it out of the pencil factory alive. Gant and Molinax were released from custody on Thursday afternoon, and the inquest was temporarily postponed. ⁣⁣The Donahue coroner said an autopsy into the girl's death was postponed until Monday. The two suspects are: Newt Lee and Leo Frank were transferred to Fulton County Tower pending an investigation at Police Headquarters. The coroner's warrant that brought them to the Tower was identical in both cases, except for the name that Frank read to the Fulton County, Georgia jailer. After the two men in the tower and two other former suspects were released Thursday, there seemed little doubt that investigators held the key to the mystery. But James Jim Conley, a black cleaner at a pencil factory, was arrested at 2 a.m. At 12:00 p.m. Thursday, he was detained at the Police Headquarters factory along with elevator boy Snowball. Conley's arrest was not well publicized at the time, and the newspapers wrote only one paragraph about it. The sixth arrest in the Phagan murders was made by investigators at 1:00 am.

At midnight Thursday, James Conley, a black janitor employed at the National Pencil Factory, was seen washing his shirts at the faucet behind the building. He claimed that the stains on his shirt were rust stains and that he had washed the shirt to appear in court to attend the interrogation he was summoned for. His testimony is believed by the police, and theories and clues are pouring into the detective agency. Many of Frank's friends personally worked on the case to clear the cloud of suspicion hanging over the prominent young superintendent. Theories flood the detective agency as to how Mary Phagan came to her death and what system might be used to bring her murderers to justice. People have been calling authorities to tell them how to proceed, and the agency has received hundreds of letters of advice and theories from the state and six other states. The most important detail in this text is that the two women had a murder dream and the murderer is detailed. Frank's friends flocked to his defense as both Frank and blacks denounced him. Thursday night, Joseph M. Brown advised Lieutenant General J. Van Holt Nash to keep in touch with the 5th Regiment's Georgia National Guard so that the unit could act in the event of an emergency.

This has prompted city, county and even state officials to pay close attention. Governor Brown also advised Lieutenant General J. Van Holt Nash to keep in touch with the Georgia National Guard at the 5th Georgia Regiment to keep the unit ready for action in the event of an emergency. The governor warned prison officials and police to be on alert for signs of civil unrest. Colonel E.E. Pomeroy, commander of the 5th Regiment, gathered his men in the Auditorium Armory, a few blocks from the tower where Frank and Lee were inside the prison, and held them there until late at night 11 o'clock. At 3:30 pm the soldiers were allowed to return to their homes.

⁣Rumors of mob violence were proven unfounded until the coroner's jury met again Thursday through Monday morning, and on Saturday night the militia were again ordered to stand by in case of trouble. A meeting between Chief Detective Rumford and Coroner Paul Donoghue summoned additional witnesses to the investigation, resulting in a united effort by city and state forces to tackle the case. Rumors circulated in the city throughout Saturday that one of the two prisoners in the tower had made a confession, which authorities angrily denied, but later proved to be completely unfounded.

⁣The first week after the discovery of Mary Phagan's body ended with elite county, city, state, and outside agencies working on the case, with two suspects inside the tower, and the state as a whole. I was looking forward to responding to the coroner's investigation.

⁣The head of the National Pencil Factory, Leo M. Frank, was taken to the police station and detained on charges related to the rape and murder of Mary Phagan. Slender and boyish in appearance, he was a weak and delicate man unlike the old black man Newt Lee, the young giant Gantt, or the former conductor Arthur Mullinax. He told jurors he was born in Paris, Texas, and moved to Brooklyn, New York, when he was three months old. He graduated from Cornell University in 1902 and received a draftman's position at the B. F. Stutevant Company of High Park, Massachusetts.

He then returned to Brooklyn and worked as an inspector, engineer and draftsman at the National Meter Company in Brooklyn, New York. Afterwards, he returned to America and soon headed south to Atlanta, where he married Miss Lucille Seelig. He spent most of his married life at his step-parents' house. E. Seelig, 68 East Georgia Ave. Frank was taken into custody by police shortly before noon on Tuesday at a pencil factory. The car, which left the police station with Pinkerton Agency Detective Harry Scott and City Police Department Detective John Black in it, returned within 10 minutes with Frank locked in a cell.

Chief of Detectives, Mr. Newport A. Ranford said he would be held in custody pending the results of a forensic examination. Frank's friends were outraged by his arrest and hired one of Atlanta's leading lawyers, Luther Z. Rosser, as their attorney. Public sentiment on Tuesday was the highest since the murders came to light as four suspects were identified. Suspicions about Mr. Gang Su and Mr. Mullen were already quickly fading. City investigators and Pinkerton's military searched the factory, the suspect's home, and the entire city for clues to the pencil factory.

⁣The mystery surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan in the basement of the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta caused a sensation that not only lasted nine days but remained a mystery for months. On Monday morning, the day after the murder, the documents were seized by thousands and Arthur Malenax, a former tramman and friend of the dead girls, was arrested. Arthur Mullinax was working under E.L Sentell, an employee of the food company C.J. Camper, said he had known Mary Phagan for years and was sure she was the girl he saw on the street. Arthur Mullinax was briefly arrested by police and taken to the police station late Sunday night. Kirstintel clearly identified him as the man who was allegedly with Mary Phagan. The text's most important details are the two suspects arrested in the murder of Mary Phagan. J.M. Gantt was arrested in Marietta Monday morning and was known to be an acquaintance of Mary Phagan. His sister, Mrs. F.C. Terrell gave conflicting accounts of his move.

The morning after his arrest, Gant attempted to get out of prison by filing a writ of habeas corpus. On May 1, Mullinax was released after giving testimony at the coroner's autopsy based primarily on that of her fiancé Pearl Robinson. Gant was later called as a witness at the trial, but it turned out that Mullinax was so ignorant of the case that he was not even called as a witness. A key detail in the document is rumors that led to the arrest of former Atlanta boy Paul Bowen, who knew Mary Phagan. Police were reportedly assisted Monday after the murder, when it emerged that pencil factory authorities had asked local Pinkerton detectives to help track down the killer.

The coroner's jury was appointed after meeting with coroner Paul Donahue in the metal room of the pencil factory. Interesting findings of blood stains on the floor of the metal room led investigators to suspect that the Phagan girl had been murdered there, rather than in the basement as originally thought. One of them was due to be arrested within 24 hours.

⁣Mary was a factory girl who worked hard from morning till night. For Memorial Day, she wanted to drive into town to see the Confederate Veterans Parade. She took the tram into town and met George Epps, a newspaperman who had always liked her. Later that night, George Epps ran to Mr. and Mrs. Phagan's house to find out why Mary had not met. Mary's stepfather, J.W. Coleman, went into town at Mrs. Coleman's request to see if she could find Mary where she would have gone to the Bijou Theater with her friends. He went to Bijou, waited for the show to end, looked at the faces of the people passing by, but never saw the face of the girl he was looking for. He returns to her home to comfort her grieving mother, thinking that Mary may have gone to Marietta's to visit her grandmother. The document's most important detail is the events leading up to the death of Phagan's neighbor Helen Ferguson. On Saturday, April 27th, there was a knock on the door of Phagan's home and news of Helen's death arrived.

Helen's eyes filled with sorrow and her lips could barely utter the terrible words she wanted to say. Her mother was leaning back on the sofa in her house and she lay there for days, unable to speak. Mr. Coleman rushed into town to see the body of the girl who had become more than a daughter to him in Bloomfield. When the mortician Will Gessling showed the body, the old man positively identified it. The most important detail of this text is the events leading up to Mary Phagan's death.

It is estimated that 20,000 people saw the remains during the company's stay, and hundreds saw them at a funeral in Marietta. Before the funeral, doctors conducted an examination of Mary Phagan's body, which was kept secret until the trial. On April 29, the body was buried in an old family cemetery in Marietta, Georgia, 32 miles from Atlanta. On May 7, the body was exhumed by order of the public prosecutor and a thorough examination of the stomach and other vital organs was carried out by doctors. H.F. Harris was implemented by the State Board of Health. What he found was known only to himself, a state agent, until he testified on the witness stand almost three months later.

⁣The text's most important detail is the events leading up to the murder of Frank View, a small factory girl. Newt Lee was arrested, taken to the police station, and the dead child was identified. Rogers and Starnes called the caretaker, Frank, and asked him to bring his coat and come with him. On the way, Black asked Frank if he knew a girl named Mary Phagan, and the factory manager said he would check the factory payslips. On their way to the factory, the three stop at a funeral home to see the body of Mary Phagan. Asked if he knew Mary Phagan, Frank replied that he would definitely know if he went to the factory. As the sun rose, a small group of men, including factory manager N.V. Darley, stood at the factory gates. Frank greeted the foreman and officers and they went to Frank's office. The superintendent opened the safe, took out a blank book, and found Mary Phagan.

Frank rubbed his hand and asked if he had found any trace of wage embezzlement at the factory. The inspector's next request was to investigate the place where the girl's body was found. Frank went to the switch box next to the elevator, flipped the switch on the machine, and turned on the machine. When we returned to the first floor, someone asked us to get off at the station building. Frank turns to Darley and says, "I think you should put a new bill in your watch." This is best described by Boots Rogers' narration. Frank said little about the murder of Mary Phagan, but said it was a shame.

When he discussed the watch's new label with Darley, the foreman agreed. Frank took the key out of his pocket, unlocked the right side, and took out the Timeslip. He checked the notes and said no problem. Mr. Lee was handcuffed and standing nearby, and Mr. Darley was also there. Frank found a pencil in one of the potholes and asked Lee why it was there.

The Negro, he said, put a pencil there so he wouldn't make a mistake by drilling the correct hole. Frank unlocked his watch and he penciled in "26." April 1913" is written at the end of the note. He then folded the note and took it with him to his internal office. Frank and the cops board Rogers' plane to the police station, where Frank sits on Darley's lap. At the police station, Frank fearfully jumps out of the car and runs into the jail cell, speaking quickly and carefully.

Frank told them about the visit from J.M. Gannt on Saturday morning at the factory, a young man who had just been laid off came back to pick up the shoes he had left behind in the factory that afternoon. Frank told detectives that Gantt knew Mary Phagan well, he told her.

⁣CID searched for Gantt while Lee was in custody and detectives searched for several suspects. As the first day of the famous Mary agan affair draws to a close, crowds pour down Forsyth Street, contented to look at the building where the black murders took place. Police were constantly watching everyone entering and leaving the factory, and grief reigned in the little house in Bellwood, where Mary Phagan left happy on Saturday.
