⁣Three men from the Atlanta Police Department were released from the night shift just as Newt Lee told them it was time to leave to patrol the factory building. They turned to Decatur Street and freed themselves from the crowd of happy-smiling Negroes that had swarmed them a few hours earlier. The police found Boots in Boots Roger's car while he was leaning back in his chair for the rest of the day. In a cell at the back of the ward, early that night, black sobs were heard by police officers charged with disorderly conduct. The sergeant growled and pushed him off his back, brandishing the key. When the phone rang, Boot's deputy Rogers opened his mouth and began presenting the Grace case. W.T. Constable Anderson wondered who was calling at this hour. Tired, he got up, went to the phone booth door, and opened it. An important detail in this document is that Officers Anderson, Rogers, Dobbs and Brown are all officers of the National Pencil Factory on Forsyth Street. When Officer Anderson rushed out of the phone booth with the message, the sleepy officers jumped up and jumped into the car, waking the sleeping reporters. As the car approached the corner of Prior and Decatur Streets, they saw two men standing on the corner. The car slowed down and the four men got out. Officer Anderson banged on the door with his fists clenched, and Newt Lee's frightened face turned to them. They fired at him and entered the factory's dark entrance, with Lee in front and Anderson right behind him. The men held hands clutching revolvers and marched in single file to the water. Newt Lee led her down a ladder, pointing anxiously at something in the corner. Officers crouched to stare at the badly mutilated corpse of a girl with her head forward and her legs slanted to the right rear corner. Her face was covered with bruises and black stains, indicating the extent of her injuries. Her hair was ragged, the blue ribbon that tied it was withered and dirty, her lavender silk dress was covered in blood, the thick cords cut deep into her flesh and the fabric torn from her dress. I saw a gag. Her petticoat was torn to shreds, her suspender belt was cut off on one side, and her white stockings themselves were hanging almost to her knees. Sergeant Brown cocked his head back and gasped, "Oh my God, just a kid." As Sergeant Dobbs was examining the basement floor, someone was holding his breath and scribbling a rude letter. I found two dirty yellow papers. The officers read out the notes, one reading, "I love the girl who lies like a witch in the night," and another reading, "Mom, the black people I hired here did that." was written. When I went to fetch water, he pushed me to the ground. "That hole. What woke it up was a long, tall, black black man, a long, slim, tall black man. I write as I play. What was it? Did the man who wrote these notes commit this hellish act? Anderson suddenly turned to the guard and placed a rough hand on his shoulder. "Negro, you did it," he said hoarsely. ⁣Moments later Anderson was handcuffed to his wrists, and Newt Lee arrested for murder.

⁣One Sabbath morning on April 27th, 1913, Newt Lee was a night watchman on the second floor of the National Pencil Factory. It's cool and he has to make his rounds every half hour. As he descends the stairs to his first floor, darkness engulfs him behind him, and only a thin streak of light indicates the stairs he must climb. Mr. Frank, the factory manager, has let him rest most of the afternoon, but he hopes to have a good time and not come back until six. Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, Newt mutters to himself and begins throwing the light of his lantern back and forth on the empty ground floor. After many lonely nights like this, Newt Lee learned the importance of quiet communication and good sleep. Newt is a night watchman tasked with investigating the factory basement. He found Mr. Frank, who had been asked to go upstairs with Mr. Gant to get his shoes, raised his voice and appeared nervous, rubbing his hand and rushing out the door. . Newt examines the dim and quiet first floor of the factory. He opened the trapdoor over the hole in the channel, and a faint light came through. The gas jet is burning, but getting weaker. Newt says it's Mr. Frank's order to keep the lights bright. As he climbs his feet and carefully anchors himself on each step, his lantern flickers with light, faintly illuminating the dim light of the basement. his feet touch the ground. Lung. A key detail in this text is that Newt Lee is in a basement with a lantern flickering yellow light, a pile of clothes and things he has never seen before. His heart pounded, and he strained his ears for another sound, but the silence enveloped and gripped him, and for the first time in his life, a black man felt a deadly, nauseating terror. He tried to shake it off and laugh, but his voice was stiff and glaring in the silence. Taking another step forward, Newt Lee staggered back as the lantern flashed again. He sobbed and jumped up the ladder when he saw something that stopped the blood like a dam of ice. The thing next to the boiler was no joke, no holiday prank. And Newt Lee sobbed on the ladder.

⁣In Atlanta and the South, the well-known Leo M. Frank case is arguably the best crime thriller of all time. Young Mary Phagan was brutally murdered when she went to the National Pencil Factory to pick up her paycheck, according to the story. Alas, is understandably intriguing to any working man or woman, as terrifying as its details are. All who hear about a crime mystery find it intriguing. But because this particular case involves the prosecution of an elite Jew, Mary Phagan's crime thriller lost its identity with Leo M. Frank. The Frank case involved Frank, the manager of a sizable factory where a affable little employee had died. No other murder investigation in the South has sparked as much curiosity. There is more to this story than just a respectable man assigned to kill a lust-driven young factory girl. It is more than just a crime thriller.

He claims to be the victim of persecution because he is Jewish, which makes this case crucial. The story of a horrifying crime, significant events that occurred over the following four months, and, finally, the tale of a great trial in which two of the South's top criminal defense lawyers squared off against the astute minds of the Atlanta Attorney General for a month. was finished. However, a lot of the intriguing tales pertaining to the Frank case were never published because the media was afraid to mention them in their articles.

Frank was found guilty by the Fulton Supreme Court, which brings the play to a close. The case was not resolved following the Atlanta County trial. This is because the juvenile defendant will be brought back before a judge soon after receiving a death sentence, and if he is to be hanged, it could take months or even years for that to happen. remain. The battle for Frank's life, however, changed into a complex legal dispute starting on the day of the verdict. The real story concludes with a trial and the author's explanation of all the significant details.

⁣On March 19, 1985, Alonzo Man died and the narrator was saddened. On March 6, 1986, Ferris Moore received a second pardon request for Leo Frank from the Board of Pardons and Parole. The board wanted to see the narrator and her father, but the reaction to the board's refusal of a pardon in 1983 did not subside. The new CEOs Wayne Snow Jr. and Mike Wing were informed that the Jewish community would again apply for a posthumous pardon, and that if granted, the pardon would be based on guilt or innocence. Allegedly, the state did not protect Leo Frank and his rights were violated. The Board thought the lynching of Leo Frank was wrong and that this pardon would heal old wounds. In September 1985, a renewed effort to seek a pardon began, and petitioners concluded that beyond the procedural steps of the trial, a pardon was likely possible by dealing with Leo Frank's out-of-court proceedings. reached. The court agreed in principle to grant a special pardon that did not imply innocence or guilt, but simply addressed the concerns raised by the case. After meeting with representatives of the applicants, the Board began drafting the final pardon order, which was approved shortly after ADL officials and others found it admissible. Families questioned why the acceptance of the application had not been publicly announced, and why the new application had not been made known to others who opposed the granting of the pardon. The Board was deeply concerned that Frank would set a precedent for numerous posthumous petitions for amnesty granted on purely legal grounds. Former Chairman Celis Moore announced the issuance of the pardon warrant at 1:00 am on March 11, 1986.
12:00 a.m. at the Georgia State Capitol. Board members ultimately agreed on the basis for the pardon, reflecting concerns that Frank's lynching had hampered his efforts to prove his innocence. The board also addressed three other legal concerns.
The rejection of lynching laws, the need to heal old wounds, and the perception of anti-Semitism. The question of whether Leo Frank really committed the murder was just dust in pardon negotiations.

From September 1986 until March 1986, the Commission took no action other than to confirm the accuracy of the final order. The final statement reads: On April 26, 1913, Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old employee of a pencil factory in Atlanta, was murdered. Georgians were shocked and outraged. Factory manager Leo M. Frank was indicted for the murder of Mary Phagan in 1913. He was held in prison for protection and sentenced on 25 August 1913. After the appeal was dismissed, the case was referred to Governor John M. Slayton for consideration. On June 20, 1911, the governor commuted his sentence from death to life imprisonment. On August 16, 1915, gunmen forcibly removed Frank from Mirageville State Penitentiary and lynched him. This ended the case and precluded further attempts to prove Frank's innocence. In 1983, the State Board of Pardons and Parole reviewed pardon applications suggesting innocence, but found no conclusive evidence of Frank's innocence.


⁣Georgia failed to protect Leo M. Frank and prosecute the lynchers. In 1983, the State Board of Pardons and Parole reviewed pardon applications suggesting innocence, but found no conclusive evidence of Frank's innocence. Recognizing that the state had protected Leo M. Frank personally and denied him further legal remedy, the State Amnesty and Amnesty Commission pardoned him and issued a copy of the Commission's hand and stamp. signed below. A pardon and parole were issued. The board was said to have been secretly working with the Jewish community for about a year, and its chairman, Wayne Snow, disclosed this in an interview with a television station. It bothered us.

Wayne Snow announced a pardon for Leo Frank, but it was kept secret. The pardon was reported in the media, and Mary Phagan's relatives said the pardon did not resolve the real question of Leo Frank's innocence or guilt. The author felt compelled to tell the familial aspect of Little Mary's story in order to educate the next generation of Phagans about their origins and Little Mary Phagan's true heritage. In January 1987, the story of Little Mary Phagan was reprinted in newspapers, and the media reminded readers that Little Mary Phagan's assassination spurred the beginning of the modern KKK. Now, the author's predictions that more books will be written and a TV miniseries will be produced about the case are starting to come true.

Will we ever know for sure who killed Mary Phagan? Did the answer go to the grave of everyone involved in the tragedy?

⁣

⁣The State Board of Pardons and Paroles received a formal request for a posthumous pardon for Leo Frank in October 1982. The complaint was filed by the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Commission, and the Atlanta Jewish League, and was chaired by a panel of attorneys chaired by Atlanta immigration attorney Dale N. Schwartz. The Chamber of Commerce hopes to investigate the case with minimal outside pressure and publicity, and the plaintiffs have been working to file a pardon petition since Alonzo Mann gave his testimony. Dale Schwartz has publicly stated that the essence of seeking Leo Frank's pardon is to seek a formal rejection of anti-Semitism and bigotry, and to remove the obtrusive element to Georgia's history. Applicants are seeking a pardon based on additional legal concerns rather than the legality of Leo Frank's trial and conviction. The pardon effort, an AntiDefamation League staffer later stated, was not simply a matter of one person, not just the case of Leo Frank.

An official wrote the League's national The pardon effort for Leo Frank in the United States has been criticized for minimizing potential offense to blacks, repudiating prejudice against blacks and Jews, and reflecting Georgia's past as it reflected on the personal identity and regional pride of Georgians to do justice. The Atlanta Black Jewish Coalition has declared that they must seize this opportunity and the petition for pardon concluded, "Judgment, justice ye shall pursue." The pardon effort has been criticized for minimizing potential offense to blacks, repudiating prejudice against blacks and Jews, and reflecting Georgia's past as it reflected upon the personal identity and regional pride of Georgians to do justice. The petition for pardon concluded, "Judgment, justice ye shall pursue." Attorney Edgar Neely argued that the Georgia system of justice in 1913 impugned the reputation of its lawyers in general and particularly Frank's counsel. The leaders of the pardon effort responded at length, including outlining the new evidence of Alonzo Mann. Mobley Hall, chairman of the Amnesty and Parole Board at the time, weighed Mr Neely's claims.

He had four legal ways to acquit Leo Frank. Complexity by courts beginning with a governor's statement declaring Leo Frank not guilty, an order of the Georgia House of Representatives and/or Senate declaring Leo Frank not guilty, and an ad hoc motion for a retrial and pardon by the Georgia Commission procedure. Forgiveness and slogans. Governor Joseph Harris, District Attorney Louis Slayton, and the Georgia Senate all expressed sympathy for Leo Frank's efforts to acquit him and recommended that the Board of Pardons and Paroles seek a pardon. Petitioners began to think that a pardon would best meet the further legal purpose of Frank's acquittal and would be considered final by the public. Dale Schwartz pointed out that the public now understands the amnesty process as an exoneration, especially when it involves acquittal of the applicant. Petitioners also suggested that the court's ruling would make it appear that the Jewish community manipulated fellow judges.

The goal at the time was a pardon from the Amnesty and Parole Board. In a 1984 interview, Dale Schwartz told the editors of Israel Today that Georgia not only grants forgiveness for past crimes, but rather defendants are the type to seek state forgiveness for wrongful convictions. said he would grant a posthumous pardon.


⁣The most important detail in this document is that of the petitioner for posthumous pardon in the Leo Frank case. The petitioners were personally involved in and affected by the incident, and their father suggested they contact the rest of the Phagan family. Their assessment of the family's opinion was correct, so the petitioners sent a letter to the parole board asking to allow the Phagan family to appear at the parole board hearing on the Leo Frank case. Last fall, the parole board received a formal written pardon request and was required to do so by order of the Georgia Senate dated March 26, 1982. The pardon request may be based on Alonzo Mann's 1982 testimony, but the Board is not limited to its consideration. Applicants are advised that the parole board does not plan to hold oral testimony hearings against anyone. The Phagans have requested that all information be provided in writing. The Commission is likely to make a decision later this year and has expressed its determination to base its decisions on the facts and evidence it desires to investigate the incident with minimal external pressure or public disclosure. are doing. Mr. Moore's letter confirmed the family's intuition that there would be some political involvement in the board, as well as their decision to consider posthumous clemency. On February 14, 1983, the Phagan family responded by letter to the board of directors. The letter said the alleged turmoil in court during the proceedings did not threaten the fairness of the proceedings or provide sufficient grounds to overturn the verdict. Trier's judge hearing the motion for retrial was right in believing that the jury whose impartiality was contested was competent. An important detail in this document is that Leo Frank was sentenced to death, which was commuted by Governor John Marshall Slayton. Governor Slayton said the jury's verdict would not be challenged if the commutation was granted, but the murder conviction would be commuted. Passed the state on the specified date. In August 1915, he was kidnapped by a mob from Mirageville State Facility and taken to Cobb County, where he was lynched. Alonzo Mann, 14, a witness in the Frank trial, received death threats and was not asked specific questions to prove Frank's innocence. Frank was competently represented by a council of great skill and experience. Alonzo Mann came forward to clear his conscience before his death, claiming that Leo Frank was not guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan, but provided no evidence to contradict Leo M. Frank's verdict. issued a statement swearing no. How long has he worked in the pencil factory? The Senate has asked the State Board of Amnesty and Parole to investigate the Leo Frank case. If the evidence points to Leo Frank's innocence, the Board should seriously consider granting Leo Frank a posthumous pardon. With no new evidence presented in 70 years, Mobley-Hall said he needed to fully prove his innocence with full evidence. The lawsuit is refiled every three to five years and will never be resolved.

⁣The Phagan family demanded a copy of the applicant's application and all evidence presented, as well as information regarding future applications in the Leo M. Frank Mary Phagan case. On April 26, 1983, an article in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution reported that a pardon was being sought for Leo Frank. Atlanta Journal and Constitutional contributor Ron Mertz reported that the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Commission, and the Atlanta Jewish League have asked parolees and parole boards to reclaim Frank. . Celis Moore confirmed to reporters that her application for a posthumous pardon is under consideration, and this is the first time a posthumous pardon has been considered in Georgia. The petition contains 300 pages, including an affidavit from Alonzo Mann, who was Frank's clerk at the time of the murder, and a two-and-a-half-hour videotape of Mann drafting an affidavit protesting Frank's innocence. It contained evidence of The myth that formed around Leo Franck is based on Alonzo Mann's The Leo Franck Myth, which was attributed to Jim Conley as a confession, and secret evidence allegedly provided by John Slayton in 1915. formed public opinion about him long before he was born. Judge Arthur Pole hinted that Frank's innocence would one day come to light. The author is one of the few people who know that Frank was convicted and innocent of the lynching charges. After the trial was over and the Supreme Court upheld the conviction, he learned who murdered Mary Phagan, but that information could not be revealed as long as the particular person was alive. and arrived. Laws on this subject may or may not be wise laws, but some people think they are not wise laws.

The most important details in this text are that the file to which he refers may have contained a confession obtained by Conley's own counsel, and that Alonzo Mann's testimony proved that Jim Conley, the state's chief witness against Frank, had lied on two counts. First, since Mann indicated Mary Phagan was alive as she was carried down, it contradicted Conley's statement that she was dead when he saw her on the second floor. The petitioners for the pardon were pinning their hopes on Alonzo Mann's testimony, which proved that Jim Conley, the state's chief witness against Frank, had lied on two counts first, since Mann indicated Mary Phagan was alive as she was carried down, contradicting Conley's statement that she was dead when he saw her on the second floor. The Atlanta Journal and Constitution felt that the case was compelling and that the Board of Pardons and Paroles should move quickly to clear Leo Frank's name and the enduring blot on the conscience of Georgia. Sherry Frank, Southeast area director of the American Jewish Committee, told the Journal that the pardon would white from the books the life sentence given Frank, but also clear him outright of guilt in Mary Phagan's killing. Anti-Defamation League Southeast Regional Director Stuart Lewinlove said he was seeking a full exoneration. Governor Joe Frank Harris has announced his intention to approve the pardon if recommended by the Board of Pardons and Parole. When the posthumous amnesty initiative became public, it itself provoked an anti-Semitic response.

⁣On September 3, 1983, the New Order of Knights, a fringe clan group, held a march and rally in Marietta, Georgia, featuring signs reading no pardon for the Jew murderer Leo Frank. This was part of a conspiracy by a group called Christian Friends of Mary Phagan, who wrote to the pardon board to accuse and hopefully prove Christians guilty of prejudice, bigotry and antisemitism. Others felt the same way as the petitioners did, and the Atlanta Constitution had the power to right a great wrong and do a great good. Among those who extorted the board to pardon Leo Frank were a minister in Tennessee who felt that pardon would bring a sense of reassurance to many of the citizens who have been hurt and still suffer due to the prejudicial trial to which he was subjected many years ago, and a member of the Christian Council of Metropolitan Atlanta who viewed a pardon as a way to repudiate the twin evils of prejudice and mob rule. The Phagan family felt the same way, as they had known about the application for the posthumous par The narrator took a step to ensure that the next generation of the Phagan family would not be victimized by a newshungry press. They contacted Ron Mertz, who wrote the article about Mary Phagan, and told him of his mistake. He asked if the narrator would consider an article or series of articles about himself. A few months later, the narrator contacted the staff in Tennessee, telling him that he wanted to meet Alonzo Mann and asking if he could make arrangements. On July 19, the narrator met Alonzo Mann, Jerry Thompson, and Robert Sherborne at the narrator's home. The narrator was concerned that they were doing the right thing, but when he met Mr. Mann he knew they were doing the right thing. They spend an hour going through the narrator's huge scrapbook of the murder of Mary Phagan. The most important detail of this text is that of the relationship between the narrator and the witnesses to the murder of Mary Phagan. The narrator reads to the witness an article from Tennessee about a visit to the grave of the narrator's great-aunt, and the two become friends. The narrator then asks the witness to make more formal statements, such as where he was born, how long he said he lived in Atlanta, how long he worked for Mr. Frank, and whether he had met Mary Phagan. started asking questions. Finally, the narrator asked how long he had been working for Mr. Frank and whether he had seen her with her eyes. Finally, the narrator asked how long she had been working for Mr. Frank and if he had ever seen her. The narrator has been working at the pencil factory for several months, contradicting her father's view that Mr. Mann was only there for a week. The narrator noticed that Mr. Mann seemed tired and her voice was weakening. He recently had heart surgery and now wears a pacemaker. The narrator is 28 years old and has a heart condition. The narrator said that after meeting Jim Conley, he went home and told his mother what he had seen. When investigators arrived at her home, she asked when she had left.



⁣The most important detail in the document is Mr. Mann's story and his attempt to get Leo Frank pardoned. Mr. Mann faced the challenge of publicizing and telling the world what he thought he had seen. He asked the author to tell the commission again that Leo Frank deserved a pardon, but the author felt it was impossible. On July 20th, the author received Thunderbolt #290 from the current Ku Klux Klan Society. He opposed any person or organization wishing to honor Little Mary Phagan, but he opposed any individual or organization using Little Mary Phagan's death to their own detriment. He wrote to the Anti-Defamation League in Atlanta and received a letter from Stuart Lewengrab that said: The KKK has reproduced Judge Randall Evans Jr.'s testimony from the May 15, 1983 Augusta Chronicle Herald on Leo Frank's appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court. The Supreme Court unanimously upheld the conviction, but Justices Fish and Beck disagreed on the admission of certain evidence. Frank then filed an extraordinary petition for a new trial with Supreme Court Justice Hill, which was denied, and on June 6, 1914, the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously upheld the decision. Frank then refiled his motion to reverse the judge's ruling against Hill, but the motion was denied. According to filings, two impartial Fulton County Superior Court judges, 12 impartial Fulton County jurors, and six impartial Georgia Supreme Court judges all confirmed that Leo Frank was legally tried and convicted. agreed to be sentenced to death by hanging. The Jewish community across the United States tried to defend Frank for being convicted because he was Jewish. An important detail of this document is that Governor John M. Slayton, on the last day of his presidency, commuted Leo Frank's sentence to life imprisonment, and accordingly applied the appropriate judicial policies established by the Fulton County Superior Court and the Supreme Court. It means that it was done. Stopped and overturned by Georgia. Much of the anger of Jewish communities across the country was directed at Thomas E. Kennedy. Thompson's Watson accused Watson of writing inflammatory articles to the Jeffersonian that contributed to Frank's conviction. The evidence was overwhelming, and Governor Slayton commuted Frank's sentence to life imprisonment, overturning and overturning due process established by the Fulton County Superior Court and the Georgia Supreme Court.

Much of the ire of Jewish communities across the country was directed at Thompson's Thomas E. Watson, who accused Watson of writing inflammatory articles in the Jeffersonian that contributed to Frank's conviction. A key detail in the document is that a new witness, Alonzo Mann, was first discovered and said he saw a black man with the body of Mary Phagan in the basement of the factory building. The archives department even wrote in one of its publications that the new evidence seemed to prove Frank's innocence. However, the authors point out that this is not new evidence and that during the trial it was revealed that Jim Conley carried the body to the basement. This correspondence is now part of the Archives Department. The suggestion that the governor or parole board can pardon the dead is utterly absurd.

The Constitution of Georgia provides that the legislative, judicial and executive powers shall remain separate and distinct. The Executive Department has no power to reverse, change, or wipe out a decision by the courts, albeit while the prisoner is in life, he may be pardoned, but a deceased party cannot be a party to legal proceedings. Pardon must be granted the principle upon his application or be evidenced by ratification of the application by his acceptance of it. It is too late now for any consideration to be given a pardon for Leo Frank, as pardon can only be granted to a person in life, not to a dead person. The author and his father were interested in the statements made by Judge Randall Evans, who had been told that the Phagan family were the only ones who had objected to a posthumous pardon for Leo Frank.

They felt that the judge made some important and relevant points, and they had to verify the statements concerning the pardon to find out whether the consideration of the application by the Board was indeed illegal. Mike Wing of the Pardons and Paroles Board was supportive of the author's request for a copy of the governing rules and consideration for a pardon. He learned that the application for pardon filed was indeed illegal and that there were only two instances in which a pardon could be granted according to the rules of the Board. On July 22, the author went to Nashville to meet the entire Tennesseeean staff, including John Segenthaler, the president and publisher, Jerry Thompson, Robert Sherbourne, and Sandra Roberts. On the wall of John Seagenthaler's office was a picture of the jury that convicted Leo Frank, which will remain there until a pardon is granted.

Mr. Segantholer said the staff was very cordial, courteous, and helpful to the author, and they shared their opinions, both pro and con, and remained strong in them. Mr. Segenthaler and the narrator discussed the possibility of a posthumous pardon, but Mr. Segenthaler felt that no complete proof of evidence could be submitted. The narrator realized that their opinions were as strong as their father's and that a posthumous pardon should not be granted unless there was complete proof of evidence. Later that evening, the staff allowed the narrator to go through Sandra's research files and determine what materials they would like to photocopy. Alonzo Mann called the narrator on July 26 to let him know he had received a letter from a Phagan and thought the narrator would be the most appropriate person to have it.

Frank Ritter of the Tennessean called the narrator on July 28 to ask him to let him know when they made a decision about going public. He added that no matter what, he supported the narrator.

⁣Sandra Roberts called the narrator to a meeting with Bill Gronick, president of the American Jewish Committee, and Miles Alexander, an attorney, on August 3. They had concerns about the Phagan family and wanted the narrator to share their views. The narrator told them they didn't condemn or object to the Phagan family, but they objected to a pardon unless complete proof of evidence could be substantiated. They wanted to know how the narrator would deal with the situation if they were Leo Frank's great niece. On August 8, 1983, the narrator and her father met with Mike Wing of the Board of Pardons and Paroles.

The narrator drove to their parents' home in Decatur and they agreed to ride Marta, the rapid transit system in Atlanta. The narrator recollected stories and spoke of childhood memories, and the narrator expressed proud feelings for his father. The narrator was as proud of the narrator as he was of the narrator. Celis Moore and Mike Wing met at 02:00 p.m. and discussed the idea of a posthumous pardon for Leo Frank.

Moore informed Mike that the Phagan family was opposed to the granting of a posthumous pardon because there was no absolute proof of Frank's innocence. He felt that Alonzo Mann's affidavit offered no proof, but was merely Mann's opinion that Frank did not commit the murder. Moore also pointed out that those who were seeking the pardon chose to impose today's judicial standards for a trial that occurred in 1913. Moore felt that any person or organization could and should have the right to pay little Mary Phagan tribute as long as it wasn't for their own prejudicial purposes. Mike told them that Judge Randall Evans, Jr., who was quoted in the Thunderbolt, was not a member of the Klan and felt that the courts of Georgia should be upheld in dealing with the Leo Frank case.

Edgar Neely, the attorney who also opposed the pardon, was also present. The most important details in this text are the events leading up to the application for a posthumous pardon for Leo Frank. On August 9, 1983, Edgar Neely wrote a letter to the board stating his opposition to the pardon. On August 20, 1983, the author decided to acknowledge their name and legacy to the press. On September 1, the Marietta Daily Journal reported that the Pardons and Paroles Board should reconsider the case, and Governor Harris was quoted as saying that the case deserves reconsideration. Governor Harris did not say whether he would recommend a posthumous pardon for Frank.

⁣Dr. Ku Klux Klan's new leader, Edward Fields of Marietta, has planned a KKK march from Marietta Square to Mary Phagan's grave on Saturday, September 3rd. About 100 to 150 members of the family were expected to attend a service in memory of Mary Phagan. Marietta Mayor Bob Fronoy announced that a service for those opposed to the KKK rally would be held at First Baptist Church at 148 Church Street in Marietta. On Sept. 5, Tennessee state officials Frank Ritter, Sandra Roberts, and photographer Pat Casey arrived at the author's home, grilled hot dogs and hamburgers outside, and began the interview. . The author's father did most of the talking, and the rest of the family listened intently. When he read the inscription, he was overwhelmed with emotion and cried. His tears made the author cry. The story of Tennessee's "Little Mary Phagan Can't Be Forgotten" is written honestly, concisely, and with a sensitive feeling towards the author. On September 7, Darwood McAllister of the Atlanta Journal wrote an editorial statement on the Frank case. He considered the Klan march a futile attempt to ensure the survival of the Klan, and used the posthumous pardon of Leo Frank as an excuse. He also said that 10 years after the murder, journalists of the Atlantic Constitution found new evidence pointing to Frank's innocence. But prominent Atlanta Jews persuaded newspapers to withhold the story, fearing it would have new repercussions. The author and his father contacted the journal's Ron Mertz and told him they were ready to go public in Georgia. On September 14, the Atlanta Journal published a letter from Randall Evans, Jr. in response to McAllister's editorial opinion. The article reminded readers that Georgia law has no authority to pardon the dead. Justice Evans succinctly expressed his views in response to Darwood McAllister's statement. The story of Ron Mertz, published in the Atlanta Journal on September 22, 1983, represented a step forward for the Phagan family, but one that prevented them from going backwards. On September 20, 783, the Board of Directors allowed the Phagan family to speak on the Board, including Mobley Hall Chairman Mamie Reese, James Morris, Michael Wing, and Wayne Snow, Jr. was The Board of Directors did not know of the existence of the Phagans until they received a report from Mike Wing. They were concerned about the feelings of the Phagan family and felt they could share that with the entire board.

James Phagan and Mary Phagan are direct descendants of Little Mary Phagan. They came to share their views and opinions on the posthumous pardon request for Leo Frank, who was convicted of the murder of Little Mary Phagan. Due to the large number of articles, editorials and opinions published by both the newspaper and television stations, and external pressure from the Senate, the newspaper allowed an interview with Atlanta Journal contributor Ron Mertz. They are concerned that they will be granted a posthumous pardon, and if they can find evidence in court to prove Leo Frank's innocence in the murder of Little Mary Phagan, they will be willing to come forward and let the world know.

⁣The foremost critical subtle elements in this content are the occasions encompassing the lynching of Leo Straight to the point in 1983. On December 22, 1983, the Board of Pardons and Paroles reported its choice, which weighed intensely on the author's intellect within the taking after months. Amid that time, the Modern York Times, Washington Post and US magazine sent correspondents to meet the creator and her father, and one of the columnists told the creator through and through that their granddad and father had been lying which Leo Straight to the point was guiltless. On December 23, 1983, the author's father went to the state capitol building where the board was to report its choice. When they arrived at Bernard's guardians domestic, Bernard's mother couldn't hold up to tell the creator that the ask for a after death exculpate for Leo Straight to the point had been denied.

The author's father had cleared out Atlanta that morning for Michigan to spend Christmas with Bernard's family, and when they arrived, Bernard's mother couldn't hold up to tell the creator that the ask for a after death exculpate for Leo Straight to the point had been denied. The Leo Straight to the point case was a riddle 70 a long time after it started. The board had organized an examination staff beneath the direction of Chairman Celis Moore and displayed prove such as daily paper accounts, the trial brief, books and letters, at the side brief outlines. Alonzo Mann's declaration was the primary to be assessed, but the board felt it only cast question on Jim Conley's declaration. The board set around to recreate something that happened 70 a long time back, but all the performing artists were expired but Alonzo Mann.

No other witnesses showed up, no one uncovered up to this time mystery fabric, and there was no concrete prove of a confession by Jim Conley. In spite of the entry of time, the Leo Straight to the point case remained a riddle. The foremost vital points of interest in this content are that Leo M. Straight to the point was found blameworthy in Fulton Province Prevalent Court of the kill of Mary Phagan on Admirable 25. The Board of Pardons and Paroles announced that the lynching of Leo Straight to the point and the truth that no one was brought to equity for that wrongdoing could be a recolor upon the state of Georgia which allowing a after death acquit cannot remove. The Board moreover announced that the lynching of Leo Straight to the point and the truth that no one was brought to equity for that wrongdoing may be a recolor upon the state of Georgia which allowing a after death acquit cannot expel.

The Board moreover announced that the lynching of Leo Frank and the truth that no one was brought to equity for that wrongdoing may be a recolor upon the state of Georgia which allowing a after death acquit cannot evacuate. Leo M. Straight to the point was sentenced to passing by hanging for nearly two a long time and was requested to the most noteworthy levels within the state and government court framework. On June 21, 915, senator John M. Slayton commuted the sentence of passing to life detainment. On Eminent 17, 1915, a gather of men took Leo M. Straight to the point by drive from the state jail at Millageville, transported him to Cobb District, Georgia, and lynched him. On January 4, 1983, the Board gotten an application from the AntiDefamation Association of Bennet Brith, the American Jewish Committee, and the Atlanta Jewish Federation, Incorporated, asking a full acquit excusing Leo M. Frank straight to the point of blame of the offense of killing someone (first degree murder).

⁣The court granted the petitioners a full pardon, and the only basis for exoneration of the murders for which Leo M. Frank was convicted was conclusive evidence that Frank was innocent. recommended. The burden of proof on this is on the applicant.



⁣The information submitted to the parole board in this matter is considerable. The affidavit of Alonzo Mann, dated March 4, 1982, is accompanied by numerous other documents submitted in support of the pardon. Mann made statements to journalists Jerry Thompson and Robert Sherbourne, which were videotaped and recorded by a court reporter in the presence of representatives of the parole board. Mann's major point was that upon reentering the front door of the National Pencil Company building on April 26, 1913, he saw the limp form of a young girl in the arms of Jim Conley on the first floor. Governor Slayton concluded that the elevator was not used to transport the body of Mary Phagan to the basement.

Briefs have been submitted in opposition to the pardon, citing evidence and information to support that view, and letters have been received reflecting opinions in support of and in opposition to the pardon. The brief of trial evidence obtained from the Supreme Court of Georgia contains all the testimony given at the trial, which is the foundation upon which most arguments on both sides of the issue are based. The lynching of Leo Frank and the fact that no one was brought to justice for that crime is a stain upon the State of Georgia which, granting a posthumous pardon cannot remove. 70 years have passed since the crime was committed, and no principals or witnesses, with the exception of Alonzo Mann, are still living. After an exhaustive review and many hours of deliberation, it is impossible to decide conclusively the guilt or innocence of Leo M. Frank.

For the Board to grant such a pardon, the innocence of the subject must be shown conclusively. Therefore, the Board hereby denies the application for a posthumous pardon for Leo M. Frank. Dale Schwartz had declared Alonzo Mann's testimony credible, but the board members doubted its value as concrete evidence. Even if Jim Conley had lied, the board argued, it did not mean that Frank was innocent. The pardon application for Leo Frank was motivated by extra legal goals, but it also spoke of the pardon process as within the structure of the judicial process.

The application cited federal court cases to justify standing to seek a pardon. The petitioners, in attempting to repudiate antisemitism, represented their attempt as a legal effort to repudiate the libel against the Atlanta Jewish community and injury. The conclusion of the pardon application read, "The public good will be served, a historic injustice will be corrected, a 70 year libel against the Jewish community of Georgia will finally be set aside, and the soul of Leo Frank will at last rest in peace." The evidence in Man's testimony and the collective weight of people believed in Frank's innocence in 1915 provided the claim for Frank's innocence. However, the leaders of the pardon effort tied the extra legal justifications for the pardon and their procedural mindset very tightly together, leading to claims of innocence that were not easily justified. Dale Schwartz publicly responded to the passage in the board's statement which said that Frank's innocence was not proved beyond any doubt, yet the pardon application itself stated that Leo Frank was innocent to a mathematical certainty.

The response to the board's denial of pardon was immediate and vociferous, with the Atlanta Constitution running an editorial cartoon showing three men labeled as board members packing away a crate. Television and radio broadcasters took up the cry, as did the three groups who had filed for the posthumous pardon. Board members, convinced of the sincerity of their investigation and decision, also proclaimed themselves in shock. Hundreds of letters criticizing the decision came into the board weekly, but the author felt that the board made a fair decision from the start.

⁣The information submitted to the parole board in this matter is important. Alonzo Mann's March 4, 1982 affidavit is accompanied by a number of other documents submitted in support of the pardon. Mr. Mann made statements to journalists Jerry Thompson and Robert Sherborne, which were videotaped by court reporters in the presence of parole board officials. Mann's point is that when he re-entered the front door of the National Pencil Company building on April 26, 1913, he saw a limp little girl on the ground floor in Jim Conley's arms. Met. Governor Slayton concluded that the elevator was not used to transport Mary Phagan's body to the basement. Petitions were filed against the amnesty, citing evidence and information to support its views, and letters were received expressing opinions in favor of and against the amnesty. Evidence obtained from the Georgia Supreme Court includes all statements made during the trial and is the basis for most of the discussion on both sides of the issue. The lynching of Leo Frank and the fact that no one was brought to justice for his crimes is a stain on Georgia that his posthumous pardon will not remove. Seventy years have passed since the incident occurred, and with the exception of Alonzo Mann, there are no main culprits or witnesses alive. After extensive research and hours of deliberation, it is impossible to conclusively determine the guilt or innocence of Leo M. Justin. Frank.

In order for a court to grant such a pardon, the innocence of those involved must be conclusively proven. Accordingly, the Commission hereby denies the claim for posthumous pardon against Leo M. Frank. While Dale Schwartz said Alonzo Mann's testimony was credible, board members questioned its value as concrete evidence. The board argued that even if Jim Conley lied, it didn't mean Frank was innocent. Leo Franck's pardon request was motivated by an additional legal purpose, but it also referred to the pardon process as part of the structure of the court process.

The lawsuit cited federal court cases to justify eligibility for amnesty. Petitioners presented their attempt to reject anti-Semitism as a legal attempt to reject defamation and infringement of Atlanta's Jewish community. The conclusion of the pardon petition is that "the public interest will be realized, historical injustice will be righted, 70 years of defamation against Georgia's Jewish community will finally be shelved, and Leo Frank's soul will finally rest." was written. The combined weight of human testimony evidence and those who believed Frank's innocence in 1915 supported Frank's claims of innocence. However, the leaders of the amnesty effort have so closely associated additional legal justifications and procedural ideas for pardons that they have resulted in claims of innocence that are not easily substantiated. Dale Schwartz publicly reacted to passages in the commission's statement that Frank's innocence had not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, but the pardon petition itself was written by Leo Frank with mathematical certainty. said he was innocent.

The response to the board's pardon refusal was immediate and vocal, with the Atlanta Constitution running an editorial cartoon depicting three men nominated for board membership packing a box. Television and radio stations responded to the call, as did the three groups that had sought posthumous amnesty.

Board members who were convinced of the seriousness of the investigation and decision were also shocked. Although I received hundreds of letters every week criticizing the decision, I felt that the Board had made a fair decision from the beginning.

⁣The court said complete and fresh evidence had to be presented before a posthumous pardon could be granted. Alonzo Mann's testimony was not new evidence and did not prove that Leo Frank did not murder young Mary Phagan. The Atlanta Journal said the state of Georgia refused to clear Leo Frank's name, which is not true. There are plenty of people in Georgia who have no relationship with Mary Phagan, are not fanatics, and find Leo Frank guilty. The author's father petitioned the local television station to refute Zeit's editorial statement regarding the amnesty, but was denied. That phase is over for the rest of the world, not the author's family. The denial of a posthumous pardon was only a temporary respite, and the horror show continued.

⁣The narrator was nervous and excited as he waited for the Tennessee staff to arrive. They discussed the Mary Phagan Leo Frank case and how the evidence came to light. One of the reporters, Jerry Thompson, explained that he worked undercover with the KKK for over a year and crafted a story about the current KKK. When they found out he was a reporter, they hired security guards to protect him and his home. Alonzo Mann's nephew, Bob Mann, told Jerry that his uncle had witnessed a murder in Atlanta in 1913, but gave no further details. Intrigued, Jerry consulted a publisher, who agreed to publish a series of stories about the sentencing of innocent people. At the time, the series was considered low profile, but Jerry had never heard of Mary Phagan or Leo Frank. Jerry met a rabbi who mentioned Leo Frank and the story took precedence. Alonzo Man liked Leo Frank and was relieved by Frank's commutation. Newspaper staff invited the author to a press conference on April 1 at the Jewish Community Center in Atlanta. The authors agreed but requested anonymity. The room was a typical conference area, filled with reporters who were either invited to be present or interested in the case. The state of Tennessee and its officials were skeptical that the author would make any statements and had no idea what he was going to present to the Jewish community, so they agreed that anonymity was best. As they entered the room, the Tennessee staff asked the author to sit next to them. Tennessee reporters Jerry Thompson and Robert Sherborne introduced the Jewish community to a review of the evidence of Leo Frank's innocence. Most of the questions concerned the effect of Alonzo Mann's affidavit as the missing evidence conclusively proving Leo Frank's innocence. One of the questions concerned the Phagan family, and Jerry Thompson said that some members of the Phagan family continued to believe in the guilt of convicted Leo Frank, while others tried to be objective. Stated. The author tried to be objective, but found it difficult to do so because of the emotion involved. The meeting was called off on the grounds that Leo Frank's posthumous pardon would likely cause problems for the gubernatorial election. The speaker acknowledged that Jerry Thompson and Robert Sherborne, in presenting evidence to the Jewish community, concluded that Alonzo Mann's conclusions were true and could not be so objective. rice field. The speaker's grandfather and father kept telling the story of young Mary Phagan, and always told of Leo Frank's conviction for murdering her. How could the speaker reconcile her two opinions?On April 4, just three days after the press conference, her youngest brother Michael died. The speaker was the oldest and he was the youngest, but they both respected each other more than he thought.

⁣Michael went through many difficult times in his life, but his family supported him. His death devastated his family, but they never stopped loving him. Michael was buried next to his grandfather and the family laid flowers at each grave. An article appeared in the East Cobb Neighbor newspaper near Marietta on April 6. Jewish leaders are seeking ways to secure the posthumous innocence of Leo Frank, a fin-de-siècle Atlanta businessman who was convicted and lynched in the murder of Marietta. Witnesses in the case now say Frank killed. don't commit. One of the three journalists who covered the apparent new developments in the 69-year-old's case said he was willing to help clear Frank's name. Tennessee revealed in a copyright filing released last month that 82-year-old Bristol, Virginia resident Alonzo Mann said Frank's employees actually killed 14-year-old Mary Phagan. made it The April 1913 murder of a young girl at the National Pencil Company in Atlanta started her one of the most sensational legal episodes of the century. A key detail in this text is the twist in the Frank case that has once again thrown the Atlanta community into turmoil. Sherry Frank, who is independent of Leo Frank, the regional director of the American Jewish Commission, said Jewish leaders want Frank's possible innocence to be an issue in this year's gubernatorial election. said there is.

Gerald Cohen, vice president of the Atlanta Jewish Federation, said the new twist in the Frank case has set the Atlanta community back on its heels. Sherry Frank, no relation to Leo Frank, area director of the American Jewish Committee, said Jewish leaders would like to make a possible exoneration of Frank an issue in the gubernatorial race this year.

Sherry Frank, no relation to Leo Frank, area director of the American Jewish Committee, said Jewish leaders would like to make a possible exoneration of Frank an issue in the gubernatorial race this year. Gerald Cohen, vice president of the Atlanta Jewish Federation, said the new twist in the Frank case The most important details in this text are that the speaker witnessed two conflicting cultures in the Jewish Community Center in Atlanta: a mass of people convinced that one of their brothers was brutally and unjustly lynched, and a small woman who bears not only the name but also the face and figure of an aunt that she will never know. The speaker also felt her devotion to her family and heritage, which would always carry the burden of the senseless slaughter of a beautiful girl. The speaker also met with Mr. Siegon Thaler, who expressed concern and curiosity about the speaker's response to the recurrence of the Phagan-Frank affair. He promised that if the chair decided to issue a public statement on the matter, he would respond immediately around the world. An important detail of this text is that Tennessee reprints the narrator's or father's statements, such as Frank's belief in guilt or innocence and his reaction to new evidence in Alonzo Mann's testimony. The narrator is surprised when John makes a final suggestion that breaks the cardinal rules of journalism.

⁣The narrator was convinced he had a new friend in Nashville who wanted to feel this story in his heart. The narrator felt sorry for the narrator and knew not to ask anything that would make them uncomfortable. This letter also made the narrator see something else in himself.
⁣
⁣Mary Phagan was fighting her legacy at the Atlanta Jewish Community Center when she read and reread her brother's letter. She wrote Sandra to tell her of her brother's death and reiterated that she would not make a public statement concerning Alonzo Mann's affidavit at that time. Sandra responded with a warm and sympathetic letter. Sherry Condor, a librarian at Georgia State Library and Archives, did her master's thesis on Governor Sleighton and knows a lot about the case. Mary apologized for Michael's death and asked if and when she decides to say something, please let the Tennessean have a little warning.

While reading through the newspaper articles she'd collected, she came across the name Mike Wing, a member of the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles. Mike Wing was shocked to learn that there were surviving close family members of Mary Phagan, and that the family was anxious to be notified of any information brought before the media. He asked to be informed if an application for a posthumous pardon for Leo Frank was received, as it would ensure that if the story broke, he was responsive during the conversation. He was curious about the fact that the Phagan family had never publicly acknowledged themselves, and explained that the murder had been a deeply traumatic event whose reverberations still felt. He said he felt certain an application would be filed.

He took Mary Phagan's address and phone number and those of her father's. The most important details in this text are that the narrator had called Mike Wing and felt confident that if he did indeed receive a posthumous pardon application for Frank, he would inform them. However, the narrator's brother's death continued to cloud their life and they began to ask themselves questions about why he died and what the true value and purpose of their life was. In August, the narrator was the matron of honor and Amy's wedding. Amy and the narrator had remained close friends after the narrator left Florida, and Amy was there for the narrator when Michael died. The wedding was a beautiful Jewish ceremony, and the narrator learned many new things. The love and happiness shared was a healing force for the narrator.

⁣Alonzo Mann's testimony describes his experience when he appeared on the front page of the Atlanta Constitution in February 1978. He and his father noticed some inaccuracies in the article about Mary Phagan and felt it necessary to convey their opinion to the author. John Phagan Durham, son of Lizzie Mary Etta Phagan, went to Atlanta Constitutional Editor-in-Chief Sears and requested that the article be deleted. Mr. Sears replied that he could not stop the article, and that if the article offended the Phagans, he would apologize, and if it was factually wrong, he would correct it. John Phagan-Durham told Sears he would not make corrections because he was confident that the series had made the front page and corrections would not make it to the front page. The series renewed interest in the assassination of Little Mary Phagan and its aftermath. People wanted to know more about the trial and the lynching, and whether anyone from Phagan was involved in the lynching. Alonzo Mann became more eloquent about the incident. Bernard and the narrator had never heard of young Mary Phagan, but one night Bernard told them that a girl named after the narrator had been murdered. The narrator tells him what happened and why the Phagan family has remained silent. Bernard and the narrator drive to Marietta to visit Mary's grave. The cemetery was located in a wealthy area of ​​the cemetery and had a marble headstone bearing her name and an inscription written by Tom Watson. The narrator quickly memorized the inscription and took a picture of Maria for scrapbooking. A middle-aged couple approached the narrator and asked if he knew where Little Mary Phagan's grave was. Her newspaper article rekindled interest in her, and the narrator was impressed by her relatives' refusal to seek public attention and their desire to remain anonymous. That year, 1978, was a year full of beginnings and innovations for the narrator, including when her father contacted a reporter to acknowledge her relationship with Mary for the first time. A few days after the accident, the narrator decides to check on the elderly woman who hit her car and see if she has filed insurance papers. As she opens the door, the narrator explains that it was she who was involved in the accident and is checking to see if she has filed her insurance papers. The narrator meets a woman who is blind and deaf and needs help filling out her form. She asked the narrator if they were related to Little Mary Phagan, and the narrator filled out her paperwork and read it through her magnifying glass. The woman then asked the narrator if she was related to Little Mary Phagan, to which she replied that the narrator was. Her wife then told the narrator about her life at the time and the changes she had undergone in her 92 years. The narrator had a great time and was invited to lunch with the lady. Her lady found the narrator listening to herself carefully, and the next day the narrator again received an invitation to lunch.

⁣The document's most important detail is the events surrounding the assassination of Little Mary Phagan. In 1980, Bernard and the narrator moved to Cobb County, quit their jobs at Griffin Cesa, and began working for the Cherokee County Board of Education in Canton, Georgia. When school started in August, the narrators were introduced to the principals they would be working for. At one school, the principal asked the narrator if they were related to Little Mary Phagan. The narrator is introduced to Alonzo Mann, a man who claims to have seen Jim Conley with Mary Phagan's body. Mann, now 83 and based in Virginia, appeared calm and competent while discussing these events. He claimed that he had been trying to tell what he had seen for years, but no one was interested. Alonzo Mann, a World War I soldier who said he knew Leo Frank did not kill Mary Phagan, got into a heated argument with another soldier who happened to be from Georgia. Over the years he told his wife, relatives and friends his story. He told an Atlanta newspaper reporter in the 1950s that he refused to fuel the anti-Semitism that had gripped Atlanta during the trial. Mann agreed to a lie detector test and a psychological stress analysis, both of which found him to be consistently telling the truth. His story is a new twist on facts presented since 1913, in which he said he was told by Jim Conley that he would kill him if he told anyone. He went home and he repeated to his mother what he had seen and what Conley had told him. After nearly 70 years of silence, he decided to come forward to find peace of mind. His father and I debated the veracity of his statement and decided to remain silent until the sensationalism of this story wore off. In March 1782, Nashville, Tennessee published a special appendix entitled "An Innocent Man Was Lynched," which included quotes from Leo Frank's letter from prison, Alonzo Mann's testimony, Mary - included a photo of him at Phagan's grave. This supplement was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. During this time, reporters from the Tennessee team began planning the book and spoke with the producers of the TV miniseries "Winds of War." Another local reporter, Cassandra Clayton, reported on interviews with lynch mob member Bernie Ducart's brother, Jasper Yeomans, son of Leo Frank's defense attorney, and Stuart Lewengrab of the Anti-Defamation League. Phagan's family refused the agency's requests for interviews, tired of having their names dragged into the quagmire. On March 8, 1982, a review of the case concluded that a posthumous pardon for Leo Frank was unlikely.

⁣Alonzo McClendon Mann was 83 years old and was Leo M. Frank's clerk when he was convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan. The then 14-year-old was called as a witness in a murder trial. He didn't tell all he knew, and he wasn't questioned about what he knew. He is currently suffering from heart disease and had to undergo surgery to have a pacemaker implanted. He wanted the public to understand that Leo Frank did not kill Mary Phagan and that Jim Conley, the key witness against Leo Frank, lied under oath. ing.

He is convinced that he killed Mary Phagan, not Leo Frank, and that he alone disposed of her body. Jim Conley threatened to kill him if he told him what he knew. His mother insisted he not interfere and told him to keep quiet. He never expected Leo Frank to be convicted. The text's most important detail is the murder of 14-year-old Mary Phagan, witnessed by the narrator on Confederate Day 1913.

The narrator's mother tells Frank that she kept what she saw a secret, and when he testified at Frank's trial, they had no idea what he knew. The narrator was nervous and anxious because of the angry crowds in the streets that day, yelling, "Kill the Jews!" The narrator had a speech impediment and had difficulty pronouncing the "R" in Frank's name. The lawyers looked at me and said that it was obvious that I didn't know and that they would remove me from the witness stand because I was young. After being found guilty, the narrator's mother told him there was nothing she could do to change the jury's verdict.

The narrator remains silent, after which Frank is lynched by mobs in Marietta, Georgia. An important detail in this text is that the narrator, Alonzo, was asked for 10 cents to buy beer from Jim Conley. Alonzo said he had some money in his pocket, but he had previously given Conley nickels or dimes for beer. After telling Conley that he has no money, the narrator climbs the stairs to the second floor of Leo Frank's office, where her desk is located. Leo Frank arrived at the building shortly after the narrator and spoke to the narrator.

He called the narrator Mr. Frank and called the narrator his first name, Alonzo. A deputy secretary was working for Leo Frank that morning, and it was customary for the narrator to be in the office on Saturday mornings. Although the factory portion of the company was closed on Memorial Day, people who worked in the factory that week came to the payroll desk in the office to pick up their paychecks. The narrator had seen Mary Phagan at the factory and she knew her face. When the narrator left the premises shortly before noon, Mary Phagan had not come to pick up her paycheck.

She said the narrator told Ms. Frank that she wanted her mother to meet her to go to the Confederate Memorial Day parade. Mr. Frank agreed that the narrator would leave at this point and return to the office later that afternoon to complete the filing work.

⁣The narrator left the pencil factory just before noon and met his mother outside the shop on Whitehall Street. But when they arrive she is not there. The narrator then returns to work and witnesses key moments in the famous murder. Inside the building, the narrator confronts Jim Conley, the caretaker, holding the body of Mary Phagan in his arms. The narrator doesn't know if Mary Phagan is alive or dead, but he holds her in her arms and around her waist. The narrator cannot remember the color of her clothes, but we have the impression that she was dressed quite nicely. The narrator meets Jim Conley on the ground floor of an office building with the body of Mary Phagan. He was near the trapdoor leading to her basement on her ladder and tried to throw her out of her trapdoor. He said to the narrator, "I'll kill you if you say that," and the narrator rushed out the front door, fled the building, and took a tram home. At home, the narrator tells her mother what they have seen and heard from Jim Conley about the murder. The narrator's mother was very upset by what she saw at the factory that day. She told the narrator to step away from Jim Conley and go about his business as if nothing had happened. When their father came home, the narrator explained to her father what they had seen and what Conley had told them. Her narrator's mother, a strong-willed woman thirty years younger than her father, told her narrator what her mother wanted from her father. He later tells the narrator that Frank will never be found guilty. When investigators later questioned the narrator, he told only the part of the story up to the point where he went out to see his mother that day. Jim Conley was a key witness against Leo Frank. He testified that Frank called him into his office one afternoon that day and told him to take Mary Phagan's body to the basement. He tried to carry the body to the elevator, but it was too heavy and he swore he had dropped Mary Phagan. Conley said Frank lifted his leg and Conley lifted his torso.

⁣A key detail in the document is that Frank pulled the rope to lower the elevator, and that Conley claimed that they carried the body past the ground floor and into the basement without stopping. Mr. Conley said the body was taken from the second floor to the basement because it was on the first floor, but he did not tell the truth. Mary Phagan said she entered the building shortly after the narrator met her mother, and she was entitled to $1.20. Conley was taking money from her and packing her things when her narrator walked in. The narrator thinks her life might have been saved had she screamed for her help when she encountered Conley with her little girl in her arms that day. The narrator secretly spoke this word to a few others. The most important detail of this text is that of Leo Frank's imprisonment. The narrator told his late wife about it, but she insisted that it not be made public. He was convicted of false charges such as letting a woman into his office for immoral reasons and drinking there. Some witnesses lied, and the narrator was in the basement twice. The narrator believes it helps people understand that courts and juries make mistakes and it's good that everything comes out even at this late stage. The narrator believes it helps people understand that courts and juries make mistakes and it's good that everything comes out even at this late stage. On March 19, 1982, the narrator and her father went to Emory University's Woodruff Library to investigate the Mary Phagan-Leo Frank case. The librarian watched them curiously and asked the narrator what he thought of little Mary Phagan. They learned that Alonzo Mann was actually Leo Frank's clerk, working Saturdays two weeks before the murder took place. On March 23, 1982, the narrator wrote to Tennessee librarian Sandra Roberts, requesting two copies of The Tennessean. On March 26th, Ms. Sandra Roberts called me asking if I could come and deliver the newspaper in person before the newspaper staff arrived in Atlanta on March 31st.

⁣The narrator's father was always the one who represented their family's opinion when someone inquired about the Phagans. The narrator called his father to let him know about the meeting and to see if he could be there. His concern was that he wouldn't be able to be there, but wanted to make sure a friend, husband, or other family member would be able to do so as well.

⁣The Knights of Mary Phagan watched the tree from which Leo Frank was hung for at least a day and night. Two months after the lynching, the group climbed to the top of Stone Mountain outside Atlanta and burned a large cross. On October 26, 1915, William J. Simmons, a former Methodist minister and member of at least eight fraternal denominations, signed a petition to the state of Georgia to establish the Ku Klux Klan Order. On November 25, 1915, Simmons reconvened the group and once again climbed Stone He climbed the Mountain and Ku He opened a new invisible empire of his clan, Crux. Founded in 1867 in Nashville, Tennessee, the original Ku Klux Klan was a secret society aimed at restoring white supremacy in the South against the radical Republican Congressional Restoration policies.

In 1869, General Forrest ordered the clan to be abandoned and resigned as Grand Wizard. Local organizations survived, some for many years. Release of D.W. in 1915 Birth of the Griffith Nation Next The Ku Klux Klan exerts a powerful hold on local politics from the early 1920s, aided by veteran patrons and fundraiser Edward Y. Clarke and Elizabeth Tyler began to In 1920 he elected many state officials and a large number of legislators.

In 1926, David C. Stevenson was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of Madge Overhelser, who had been kidnapped, raped, and trafficked to Chicago from Irvington, Indiana. The incident sparked widespread dislike for the Klan in the 1930s, and its influence was irrevocably weakened. It was officially disbanded in 1944, but five years later a group of six southern states came together to try to reform the national system. In the civil rights era, the clan has raised its head again and is now recruiting members. In the months following the lynching, about 3,000 Jews fled Georgia in a boycott of Jewish businesses.

This was the catalyst for the revival of the family and the formation of the Benebris Anti-Defamation League. Leo Frank was the president of the Atlanta chapter of the Jewish Brotherhood Beneiblis, founded in 1843. At the time of his arrest, Leo Frank was president of the Atlanta chapter of the Jewish Fraternity Beneiblis. The Anti-Defamation League was formed four weeks after the Leo Frank trial ended. Dave Shari, the League's fourth National Chairman, said sooner or later Bennett Bliss would have founded the League, but Leo Frank's story has shocked America's Jewish community like never before. said.

Adolf Klaus, chairman of B'nai B'rit at the time, commented on the prevalence of prejudice and discrimination, saying that the situation was so serious that it had recently become a symptom of trying to influence a court that happened to be litigated by Jews. said to have appeared. The Anti-Defamation League works with the NAACP to debunk all media and disseminate information that corrects misconceptions about Judaism. This church exists thanks to Leo Frank and Mary Phagan. After Leo Frank's death, Lucille Frank became a pillar of Atlanta's Jewish community. Fanny Phagan Coleman sued the National Pencil Company for damages and won thousands of dollars.

Tom Watson was indicted and tried in a United States District Court for mailing obscene material, but was acquitted in 1916. He initially endorsed Hugh Dorsey for governor, but later ran for the United States Senate. ⁣Jim Conley served less than a year in prison as a chain gangster and was convicted of breaking into a business near the Fulton County Courthouse. He and his grandfather and aunt then had a famous family conversation about little Mary Phagan. In 1941, he was part of a group arrested by Atlanta police for gambling. In 1947 he was arrested again for drunkenness and died in 1962. Rumors of a deathbed confession to the murder of Mary Phagan continue to persist. On April 6, 1987, three members of the Anti-Defamation League spoke with three members of the Alliance. All three claimed the rumors were baseless. Publications, films, and plays about the Mary Phagan Leo Frank case began long before Leo Frank's lynching. Connolly reported on the trial in Collier Weekly, after which she published a book, The Truth About the Frank Case. Von Possen claims that Mary Phagan's head and shoulder teeth marks do not match Leo Frank's dental x-rays. Ward Green reported 419 36 deaths in the Deep South for 1937. Tom Watson wrote The Farm Rebel (1943), Go Home (1952), Guilty or Not Guilty (1956), The Knight Who Fell Into Georgia (1959), A Criminal Lawyer (1962). In 1967, he published The Little Girl Is Dead and The Case of Leo Frank. Since the murder of young Mary Phagan on April 26, 1913, countless murders have taken place in Georgia. Students, writers, and curious people have continued to visit the Georgia State Archives, Georgia State University, and Emory University to investigate the case, and many people still visit her grave to pay tribute to her. represents. It's Georgia and my story.

⁣Leo Frank's move from Fulton Tower to Mirageville Prison Farm was done with utmost secrecy and efficiency. He went to work in the fields and his health improved. Mirage Building superintendent James T. Smith told reporters he could protect his prison from attacks. On the night of July 17, twice-convicted murderer William Crean cut Frank's throat with a butcher knife, nearly severing his carotid artery. Director Smith called J. W. Smith investigates the case. Physician Leo Frank, serving a life sentence in Mirageville, was there for two weeks until his death. His two letters to his mother and his brother (one to his mother and one to his brother) give an idea of ​​his state of mind. Leo largely denies rumors that he is dead and alive. Simon Wolf has been very interested in Leo since he came here.

Leo is nearing his goal of good health and his wounds continue to heal rapidly. His appetite is still good and he steams apples for me. All that's left now is to get my strength back. He sits on his bed, but it will be a while before he can walk. An important detail in this text is the details of the incident that put the Order of Mary Phagan's plan to kidnap Frank on hold.

Tom Watson discussed the governor's pay cut order in Watson magazine, further fueling feelings about the order and against Slayton himself. Watson said that the arrogant governor of high society, gilded club life, and palatial surroundings proved to be lazy Pippin in the barrel of great honesty. The incident put on hold the well-conceived plan to kidnap Frank by the Knights of Mary Phagan. An important detail in the document is that Luther Rosser had been a partner of the Slayton Law Office since May 1913, and that the governor held a secret late-night meeting with Rosser before issuing the order. Late one night, Rosser drove down a side street, parked a block or two away from the governor's building, and walked down an alleyway.

He writes that Rosser went to Slayton's house and stayed there for hours until after midnight. According to Henry Borden, members of the public willingly acted as informants in the case. ⁣Operators, operators, elevator ladies, telegraph operators, and many others occupied the phones in Dorsey's home and office, and spoke few facts from work. One morning at 6:00 am: 12:00 a.m.: Dorsey spots the streetcar driver sitting on his doorstep and has all the information by the time Luther Rosser arrives at Governor Slayton's house the night before issuing the diversion order. rice field. Watson argued that Governor Slayton did not cross-examine Leo Frank or Jim Conley. Watson claimed there was unparalleled excrement in the elevator shaft, no bed mites in the pencil factory, no bed mites in the pencil factory, and hair on the second floor.

Barrett found her hair on the lathe handle early Monday morning and almost immediately attributed it to Mary Phagan because there was only one other girl with hair like Mary's Magnolia Kennedy. It turns out there is. Governor Slayton made it clear to the nation: Mr. Harris denied the merit of the state lawsuit. Ten days after Mary Phagan's death, her grave was opened and her hair removed from her head. Dr. Harris conducted a microscopic examination and found that the two specimens looked so similar that it was impossible to form a definite and definitive opinion as to whether they were taken from the same person's head. It turned out to be impossible. Mel Stanford, who worked for Frank for two years, testified that he cleaned the entire floor of the metal room on Friday, April 25.

He found a white hazelnut spot on the second floor near the dressing room that wasn't there on Friday. Deputy Commissioner and sworn attorney for the defendant, Herbert Schiff, testified that he saw the speck, as did other witnesses. Governor Slayton confirmed that the white substance Haskerin was found spread throughout the patch. Conley's Affidavit Conley was reluctant to betray his white superiors and denied any knowledge of his crimes. When he finally confessed, there was blood on Mary Phagan's panties and her vagina, suggesting some form of violence and sexual penetration prior to her death.

Governor Slayton claimed the bloodstains were due to a monthly illness. Annie Maud Carter's affidavit was rebutted, and both Conley and Carter swore that the letter had been tampered with and that the unprintable filth contained therein was a forgery. Philip Chambers and Herbert Schiff testified that the order forms were in the office next to Frank's and that the papers with the notes could be found throughout the factory. Monteen Stover's testimony indicates that Frank gave the exact time that the stenographer left at about 12:00 p.m.
00:00, or between 125:00 and 1210:00, or perhaps about 127:00, shortly after Mary Phagan arrived. Frank was unaware that Monteen Stover had entered his office, claiming he would be there at any moment.

Governor Slayton claimed that Frank must have been in the second office while Monteen Stover waited for him for five minutes, but she was looking for Frank in both the outside and inside offices, I swore the metal room door was closed. Where was Mary when Monteen was in the office from 12:05 to 12:00? Bloody fingerprints on the door. Why didn't Frank's attorney ask Jim Conley, the state's star witness, for fingerprinting? Judge Roan's statement that Judge Roan requested a reduced sentence.

Judge Roan's enthusiastic take on the facts and speculation of the case fueled fear, prejudice, and anger among the people of Atlanta, especially the working class, who were deeply affected by the tragedy of Mary Phagan's death. Watson's enthusiastic views of the facts and speculations about the case fueled fear, prejudice, and anger among the people of Atlanta, especially the working class, who were deeply affected by the tragedy of Mary Phagan's death. A group of about twenty men from the Order of Mary Phagan was selected to resume the mission to kidnap Leo Frank. Each was a husband and father, a wage earner and a churchgoer, all with well-known names from Cobb County. The mission was set up like a military operation, with a skilled electrician cutting prison wires, an auto mechanic keeping cars running, a locksmith, a switchboard operator, a paramedic, an executioner, and a common preacher. board. The route the hijackers would take was driven, measured and timed. The Lynch party left Marietta on August 16, 1915, arriving at the prison just before midnight. They cut the phone line and split into four groups. One group went to the garage and drained gas from all the cars, another went to Superintendent Burke's house and handcuffed him. A fourth group rushed to Frank's cell, woke him up, handcuffed his hands behind his back and took him to the back seat of the prison car. The kidnappers had the prison blueprints, cell locations, security posts, telephones and power lines. No effort was made to resist the group that kidnapped Frank. But his next two incidents occurred.
The man entrusted with guarding the Overseer was left behind, and the long-distance line to Augusta was not cut. The convoy returned to Marietta after a seven-hour, 150-mile journey along Roswell Road. One had to be abandoned due to a puncture on the way, but the rest were repaired. The original plan was to hang Frank from a tree in the Marietta City Cemetery or Marietta Square, but as night fell they headed for a more remote part of town. Frank demanded that the gold wedding ring be removed and returned to his widow, but they prepared to hang him. A brown khaki cloth was wrapped around Frank's waist, and a white handkerchief was pinned over his eyes. He was placed on a table and a 3/4 inch long rope was draped over the branch and around his neck. The impact of falling from the makeshift gallows opened his neck wound. Rumors quickly spread that on August 17, 1915, that Leo Frank had been hanged, dozens of people rushed to the place of execution on foot, on bicycles, on horseback, and in the few vehicles that were available at the time.

⁣The most important details in this text are the events leading up to the lynching of Leo Frank. One of the first to arrive was a prominent young Mariettan who had been rejected as a lyncher due to his high temper and drinking habits. People with cameras snapped his picture as his body swayed in the breeze, and picture postcards of the lynching were sold for years as souvenir items in Georgia stores. When Frank's body was cut down, a citizen tried to grind his shoe into Frank's face. Newt A. Morris, a former judge of the Blue Ridge Circuit, stepped forward to stop him and to quiet the crowd.

John Wood, a Canton attorney, helped Morris load the body into a basket and place it in a WJ black funeral home wagon that hauled it to the National Cemetery gate, where it was placed in Woods car and rushed to Atlanta. A crowd gathered around the funeral home demanding to view the dead man's body, and police persuaded Mrs. Frank to consent. The crowds were allowed to view the body later. Leo Frank's body The Latin phrase "symphare edom" is carved on Leo Frank's tombstone. Ex Governor Slayton and Mayor Woodward of Atlanta were in San Francisco on the day of the lynching.

Ex Governor Slayton declared he preferred to have Frank lynched by a mob rather than by judicial mistake. Mayor Woodward declared that Frank had suffered a just penalty for an unspeakable crime. A Cobb County coroner's jury heard witnesses and ruled that Frank was hanged by persons unknown. Tom Watson sent a telegram to Mary Edden Robert E. Lee Hole, who applauded the hanging in putting the sodomite murderer to death. The vigilance committee has done what the sheriff would have done if Slayton had not been of the same mold as Benedict Arnold.

Georgia is not for sale to rich criminals in the Jeffersonian, he raged, and the priest wants the illiterate papal slave of Italy, Poland and Hungary. The capitalist wants cheap labor and the Jew wants refuge from race hatred. The south has not yet been deluged by the foreign flood, but native stock predominates and the old ideals persist. Employers of young girls may assume that they buy the girl when they hire her, but this can lead to trouble if they act as though they have a right to carnally use the persons of the girls who work for them. This was the mistake made by Leo Frank, and it cost him his life.

Jews throughout the Union made Frank's case a race issue in total contemptuous and aggressive disregard of the question of guilt. They arrogantly asserted that he had not had a fair trial without ever offering a scintilla of evidence to prove it. They tried to run over and quote the people and the courts of Georgia and we wouldn't let them do it. Leo Frank's wedding ring was delivered to OB Keeler, Marietta reporter for the Atlanta Georgian, at his Marietta home the following evening. On Thursday, August 19, Keeler's account of the incident was published in the Atlanta Georgian.

The banner headline read "Frank's wedding ring returned" and a two column, three line readout said "dying wish of mob's victim carried out by unknown messenger". The story was in twelve point type and occupied the two right hand columns of page one and continued on page two. Keeler's first person account read quote "old books say if you put beneath your pillow an object that has been associated with tragedy or any scene of great stress and profound emotional excitement, if such an object be placed near you while you sleep, you will dream the thing that gave the object its most terrible significance."

⁣An important detail in this document is that on April 26, 1913, Leo M. Frank wore his wedding ring at the National Pencil Factory and during his dreadful voyage to sinking at Eichenhain, outside Marietta. . Mr. Keeler, who covered every session of the Atlanta Georgian man's trial, said several times during the trial and during Frank's nearly two years of service at the Fulton County Tower that the ring was on Frank's finger. I told you what I saw. Mr. Keeler told how the ring came to be obtained. He was in the vestibule of a small house at 303 Polk Street, Marietta, and had just begun a selection of Victorara, which his two very young members of the family passionately love. The band reached its climax when they heard footsteps and knocks on the porch in front of the open door.

He spoke clearly and clearly and handed me the envelope. He turned and went down the stairs and left in the darkness. Keeler opened an envelope containing a wedding ring and a typed note from his wife, Mrs. Leo M. Frank. The next day, Ms. Keeler gave her ring to Mrs. Frank in Atlanta. Mrs. Frank accused Keeler of being one of the group of men who had her husband hanged. Mr. Keeler received the trust with mixed feelings, but he knew how badly the in-state press was saying, and he had an idea of ​​what the out-of-state press would say. When the rain came, a young woman from Kansas City, Missouri came north to read an article about the Frank case in the Kansas City newspaper. She made every effort to prove Frank's innocence. Her experience of getting her ring shortly after the tragedy of the previous day had a huge impact on her. She searched for an unbiased point of view and found an intellectual point of view. She read about the upcoming lynching against Frank on the train from Nashville and wondered what she was getting into. She arrived in this town exactly twelve hours after her execution, and she found it the quietest, most peaceful little place she had ever visited. She met more friendly and helpful people than at this afternoon's party. The most important detail in this document is that Keeler has lived in Marietta for her 25 years, and that she learned what happened to Leo M. Frank in that oak grove on the morning of August 17th. It means that He also knows what people in Marietta did for him and his family when he nearly died of pneumonia last spring.

Regarding this event, Mr. Keeler's son, George Keeler, told the speaker that his father, the late OB Keeler, was on the staff of the Atlanta Georgian in 1913, where he covered every session of the Frank trial. He said he was. George Keeler said he had no doubts about Frank's guilt.

⁣An important detail in the audio recording is that the defense did everything it could to pin the blame on black janitor Jim Conley, and that Frank had the best attorney in the state. Two years later, this Georgian called his father that a group of men were heading to Mirageville State Penitentiary to arrest Frank, take him to Marietta, and hang him on Mary Phagan's grave. The following evening, a stranger showed up at the Keeler home in Polk Street, presenting his father with an envelope containing a typed note and a wedding ring. The father gave the ring to Mrs. Frank, and how it came to her and what she did with it was published on the front page of the Georgian newspaper, written in an article that day under the eight column headline. ⁣

⁣Long before June 1915, John Marshall Slayton had agonized over the proposed commutation of Leo Frank's sentence. He received more than 100,000 letters pleading for a commutation or pardon for Frank and Georgia, and national newspapers reminded him and the public of his power of forgiveness and his responsibility to wield it. Several governors and senators backed the motion to pardon Frank, but efforts were also made by leaders across the country. South-North resentment and animosity rekindled with such ferocity that newspapers across the country covered the development. Most people outside Georgia sympathized with Leo Frank and again attacked Georgia's anti-industrial, anti-Semitic sentiments, and police incompetence. After the Supreme Court denied Frank's motion in April 1915, his lawyers began lobbying for an administrative pardon. The most important information in the document is that the sitting governor of Georgia, John Marshall Slayton, was politically respected and was running for the United States Senate. Judge Morris argued that Slayton was a member of the law firm defending Frank, and that Slayton had been a name partner in the law firm of Rosser, Brandon, Slayton and Phillips since May 1913. The Cobb Democratic Executive Committee publicly asked Slayton to resign as governor or to assure the Georgians that they would not commute Frank's sentence, but Slayton also refused. Frank said he was to be hanged on June 22, 1915, and Slayton said he was to be succeeded by Nat Harris on June 26, 1915. Mr. Slayton could have granted a reservation and let Mr. Harris decide on the motion to reduce, but he and others felt that Mr. Harris would reject the motion. Slayton retired to his home on the outskirts of town and petitioned the Supreme Court for a ruling on the issue of mob influence in court. He studied other Court of Appeals' official rulings, trying to find a balance between Georgia's judicial integrity and mob rule. After visiting the pencil factory, Slayton concludes that Conley must have been lying when she claimed to have used the elevator to move Mary Phagan's body from the second floor to the basement. Clayton took the elevator himself and confirmed that he had indeed reached the bottom, and evidence of this had come to light. Slayton spent a lot of time and attention researching elevators. On June 20, 1915, John Slayton locked himself in the library all day, working on the Frank case. He listened to lawyers for Hugh Dorsey and Leo Frank and the Marietta delegation led by former Governor Joseph M. Brown. When he came out of the library, he said he ordered a commutation. His wife got up and waited for him, and when she came out he said he had made his decision.

He had taken the precaution of taking Leo Frank a minute past midnight from Fulton Tower to the train station, then taking the train to Macon and then driving to the Mirageville Prison Farm. Through his own detective work and extensive reading of crime documents, Slayton was convinced that Leo Frank was innocent. ⁣John Slayton did not exonerate Leo M. Frank, but expressed his suspicions. Later that day, he issued a statement to the press, announcing that Frank's sentence would be commuted to life imprisonment. The statement was carefully crafted to carry no more weight than correcting the judge's mistake in denying further legal issues surrounding the case and assuring the public that there was no mob interference in the trial. . The case made headlines in US newspapers and resulted in more than 100,000 letters calling for leniency from various states. The people of Georgia want respect and goodwill from all states in the Union.

Thomas Jefferson wrote in the preamble to the Declaration of Independence that when it was necessary to break the political ties that one nation had with another, the reasons for the separation should be stated. Many newspapers and many people attacked Georgia over the sentence against Leo M. Frank, saying it was due to mob rule and that there was no evidence to support the sentence. The people of Georgia have a responsibility to protect the lives of their citizens and uphold the dignity of the law. Alternative mobs have been accused of terrorizing courts and juries by mobs to force juries to issue a verdict. The author believes that the facts of this case are presented with absolute fairness and firmness only to the point of truth.

An important detail in this audiobook is that Georgia has had the most comprehensive change of criminal jurisdiction of any state, and that defendants are free to voluntarily choose jurisdiction if they believe the issue is: A change of rights can be demanded: a fair trial is impossible. Any circle is given. Frank went to court without demanding a transfer and presented his case to his jury, which he accepted. After evidence was presented pointing to a crime against Frank with many unpleasant details, feelings for him became increasingly violent. He was the general manager of the factory and Mary Phagan was a poor worker. The document's most important detail is that the general manager asked the Cornell graduate to give her a chance and gave her time off when she refused.

The court audience expressed deep resentment towards Frank, but the court was unable to rectify it. Governor Brown said that with many people talking about the potential danger and the editor of a major newspaper suggesting trouble was expected, Governor Brown had the sheriff call the mansion to see if trouble was expected. rice field. The sheriff said he believed the lieutenant could stay out of any trouble.

The court audience expressed deep resentment towards Frank, but the court was unable to rectify it. Governor Brown said that with many people talking about the potential danger and the editor of a major newspaper suggesting trouble was expected, Governor Brown had the sheriff call the mansion to see if trouble was expected. rice field. The sheriff said he believed the lieutenant could stay out of any trouble.

⁣A key detail in the document is that Frank promised to go to a baseball game with his brother-in-law on Friday afternoon, but broke off the engagement on the grounds of financial statements that needed to be prepared before the inquest jury. be. State officials said Frank was at the factory Saturday afternoon processing the body of Mary Phagan, which was the reason Newtley was given the unusual leave of absence. The cook's husband testified that he visited his wife at the home of the defendant's father-in-law, Selig, on Saturday, the day of the murder, and that Frank had come to dinner, but she had not eaten. Chef's affidavit was taken by investigators and she claimed it was taken under duress, which tended to corroborate her husband's story. The cook denied the veracity of her affidavit because she was extorted by her husband and investigators, threatened with imprisonment if she didn't comply, and her wages were increased by her parents, she said. explained. Frank.

A key detail in the chapter is that Ms. Frank and her mother had a conversation on Sunday morning, and evidence presented suggests that Mr. Frank manipulated the notes to burden Ms. MckNight. It means that it shows that he was not in the mood due to excitement. To do so, please read the instructions correctly. Montine Stober also testified that Mary Phagan's hair was washed with Pintal soap, but this would affect the doctor's ability to judge the similarity between lathe hair and Mary Phagan's hair. A large amount of cords from the person who strangled Mary Phagan was also found on the metal floor of the room and then severed in the basement. Detective Starnes testified that he had seen one such cable in the basement, but that it had been cut into pieces. Detective Holloway testified that these wires ran throughout the building and into the basement.

A key detail of the document is that the State has argued that the defendant's witnesses will change their testimony not against the defendant, based on the suggestions of counsel and the hearing. An examination of the files does not support claims that a lawyer was employed by the police department prior to Frank's arrest. The most surprising and spectacular testimony in the case came from Jim Conley, 27, a black man who was a regular member of a chain gang. He had worked there for two years and knew the factory very well. He had been working in a basement for two months and operating an elevator for a year and a half when he was arrested by investigators on May 1 and 13.

Two notes were found near the body in the basement. The most important details of this document are his two quotes on brown paper and a black handwritten notepad. The brown paper was a carbon copy of an order form with the headline "Quote Atlanta, Georgia 19", written in black handwriting. Investigators learned in mid-May of Conley's writing ability and prepared a affidavit and three affidavits, which the defendants submitted at their request. ⁣The affidavit assesses the content of the evidence he presented on the witness stand as follows: Mr Conley said Mr Frank asked him to come to the factory on Saturday and take care of him as before, which means Mr Frank expected to meet with the woman. claimed. If Frank stamped his foot, Conley would lock the factory door and whistle to open it.

⁣Conley was in a dark place out of sight, next to an elevator, behind some boxes. Several people, including male and female employees, climbed the stairs to Frank's office, he noted. As Mary Phagan climbed the stairs, she heard a scream. As Frank stamped, Conley unlocked the door and went up the stairs. Conley found Mary Phagan lying in a metal room with a handkerchief under her neck and head, as if soaked in blood. Frank tells Conley to prepare a cloth, put the body in it, and carry it away from the changing room. Frank returns to the office, obtains the key and unlocks the panel to operate the elevator, and they roll the body out of the fabric. Frank climbed the ladder back to the first floor, Conley took the elevator, and Frank, who was on the first floor, took the elevator to the second floor where the office was. The most important detail of this text concerns the trial of Frank Conley. On May 31, 1913, an unindicted woman filed an affidavit that she saw Conley and Frank in a lively conversation on the corner of Forsyth and Nelson Streets. The state produced 10 witnesses who attacked Frank's character. Some of them were factory workers who testified that Frank's lustful reputation was bad and that they had been seen trying to marry Phagan, whom Frank exposed to the detectives. The defense presented nearly 100 witnesses to Frank's good character, including Atlanta residents, Cornell students, and Cornell professors. The state case omitted a number of cases that the state, on the whole, claimed to support Frank's guilt. Defendant was born in Texas and completed his education at the same institution. Conley's admission that he wrote the note found in the dead girl's body, the role he played in the deal he admitted, and his testimony about both writing the note and transporting the body to Keller. The story and explanation made the whole case revolve around Conley. The mystery of the case is how Mary Phagan's body was placed in the basement. She was found 46 feet from the elevator, her face suggesting she had been dragged through the dirt and ash. There were stains on her eyes and mouth. Conley took the body underground in an elevator with Frank on the afternoon of April 26, 1913, to speculate that Frank was able to walk 136 feet (about 40 meters) on the edge of the building where the body was removed. He testified that he was carried away to It's been found. Conley swore he didn't go back downstairs and took the elevator upstairs while Frank climbed the ladder at 03:00 on the morning of April 27: When investigators entered the basement through the basement, they found human feces in their natural state. Everyone, including Conley, admits that the elevator only stops when they reach the basement floor, but when they used the elevator, it crashed into the excrement, which they stepped on, causing Conley to Since being there it proved that the elevator has not been used again.

⁣An important detail in this document is that Conley was strong and powerful, and that the place to watch in the dark was a few feet from the hatch leading to the basement. On Monday morning, he twice flushed the elevator shaft doors and forced Mary Phagan to walk within a few feet of Conley's unseen. Conley testified that he wrapped the body in a bag of crocuses at Frank's suggestion, but at trial he testified that he wrapped the body in a bed sheet similar to the Attorney General's shirt. The only reason for such a statement change was that if the bag of crocuses weren't torn apart, it would be too small for the purpose. Conley said that after the crime was committed, Frank suddenly said Emma Clarke and Corinthia Hall and locked Conley in a closet. According to the irrefutable testimony of two witnesses, they arrived at the factory at 11:35 a.m. and left at 11 :45 o'clock in the morning. Conley said Frank told him to leave his hat, slippers and ribbons there, but Frank took them and threw them 57 feet away in front of the cauldron. Frank also instructed Conley to lock the door when he stamped his foot and open it when he whistled, but Conley waited until he locked the door before unlocking it. board. Mary Phagan's wound extended to her skull near the top of her head, but did not bleed.

Barrett said six or seven strands of her hair were found on the lathe she was working on Monday morning, where she may have been punched and cut off her head. suggests. It is acknowledged that her blood was not detected there. The lathe is about three feet high, and Mary Phagan is said to be stocky and angular. Her wounds must have been so deep that she couldn't explain the difference between her height and her lathe's height. Some state witnesses testified that her hair resembled Mary Phagan's, but Dr. Harris said that under the microscope, Mary Phagan's hair was compared to the hair on the lathe, and that it was Mary Phagan's hair. concluded that it is not.

Barrett and others saw blood stains near the locker room, and Conley said he dragged her body away. Police Chief Beavers said he didn't know if it was blood, and Detective Stearns said he wasn't sure if the stain he saw was blood. Detective Scott was shown several specks of blood in the metal room. The most important detail in this text is that Dr. Claude Smith testified that in one of the chips he found 3-5 blood cells under the microscope, a half-drop was to blame. Frank says some of the stains left after picking up the chip weren't blood.

Barrett, who worked on the metal floor and had claimed a reward for finding hair and blood, said the stains were not present on Friday and that several witnesses confirmed it. Stated. There were testimonies that injuries occurred frequently in the factory, and that bleeding was not uncommon near the women's locker room. There was no blood in the elevator. ⁣

Dr. Smith, a bacteriologist in the city, said the presence of blood cells could be detected months after the blood dried. All of this is linked to the question of whether the murder took place in a metal room on the same floor as Frank's office. However, the patterns varied from quarter to quarter size, except near metal rooms at designated locations. A quarter the size of a palm leaf fan.

⁣The defense obtained two affidavits and three affidavits from Witness Conley. The first statement, dated May 18, 1913, details his actions on April 26, naming the tavern he frequented and the whiskey and beer he purchased. On May 24, 1913, he wrote an affidavit for detectives stating that Frank had asked him if he could write it the Friday before the Saturday on which the murder took place. On May 28, 1913, he made another affidavit for detectives stating that after leaving home on Saturday morning, he bought two bottles of beer, went to a bar, and won $0.90 on dice. rice field. He then met Frank at the corner of Forsyth and Nelson Streets and asked him to wait until he returned. Mr. Conley went to the factory and mentioned various people he saw climbing the stairs from the spy location to Mr. Frank's office. An important detail in this document is that Frank Conley whistled and they entered a private office. Frank asked Conley if he could write and asked if he could dictate three times. When Conley crossed the street, he found a box containing two dollar bills and two silver coins. At the Beer Saloon, Conley bought half a pint of whiskey, $0.15 worth of beer, $0.10 worth of stovewood, a bratwurst worth of nickel, and gave his aging wife $3.50. Tuesday morning Frank came upstairs and told me to be a good boy. On Wednesday, Conley washed the shirts at the factory and hung them on a steam line to dry. On May 29, 1913, Conley filed another affidavit stating that Frank had told him he had picked up her girl and dropped her off. On May 29, 1913, Conley filed another affidavit stating that Frank had told him he had picked up her girl and dropped her off. On May 29, the key detail in this affidavit is that Conley picked up the girl and put her on her shoulders while Frank climbed back up the ladder. He also took her hat and slippers he had brought upstairs and threw them in the garbage pile in front of the stove. The affidavit also states that Mr. Frank handed Mr. Conley the money, and while Mr. Conley was looking at the money in his hand, Mr. Frank said, ``Give me this. It is also written. and nothing happens. ” The original affidavit was issued at the end of the affidavit. A key detail in the document is that on May 18, investigators detained Ms. Conley for a few hours to obtain her confession, but Ms. Conley denied having met the girl on the day of her murder. It is what I did. On May 25, I interrogated him for three hours, and when I repeated the story on May 27, we talked for about five to six hours. Regarding Conley's testimony and affidavit, Detective Scott, who was referred by the state, said: "We tried to impress that Frank didn't write that memo on Friday, that it wasn't rational, that it was deliberate, and that it wasn't possible," he said. He declined to testify further, saying he did so truthfully.

⁣On May 28, Chief Ranford and his team spent five or six hours scrutinizing Quinn Conley, trying to uncover some of the outliers in his testimony. They drew attention to the fact that his previous testimony was well considered and unacceptable, and subsequently held that his previous testimony was well considered and unacceptable. After being told, it issued a statement on May 28. They tried to get him to talk about the little mesh bag, but he denied having seen it. On May 18, in Chef Ranford's office, they tried to persuade him to write, and he wrote down his testimony before a jury. Upon re-examination, Mr. Conley felt the need to explain the mesh bag, and for the first time stated that Mary Phagan's mesh bag was on Mr. Frank's desk, and Mr. Frank put it in the safe. This is the first mention of bags. The first indication that Frank was a pervert was Conley's testimony on the witness stand. He explained that Frank had a different build like other men, and that Jews were circumcised, so someone might have encouraged him to do so. Mr. Conley is also open to the proposal, he said, saying he knows that when he tells a story, he has to change it and tell the full truth. He also admitted that he wrote the notes found on Mary Phagan's body, and that the words "quote at the end of the quote" were dictated by a white man. Annie Maud Carter was also in prison and wrote many of the most vulgar, obscene letters I have ever read. These letters are the most vile and sexual I have ever read. The most important detail of this document is Conley's testimony and the use of the word "last quote" in Annie Maud Carter's memo. In Conley's testimony, he uses the words "quote Negro," and in Annie Maud Carter's note, "I have a negro looking at you." I also use the words , quote end, quote play end quote, quote, amateur, quote end, love, quote end, and quote myself, quote end. Defense attorneys point out that Conley's hallmark was his double use of adjectives: B. "long quote", "tall", "black", "black", "end quote", "long quote", "skinny", "tall", "black", "end quote". Conley was a tall, slender, beaked, and stocky man, using expressions such as "He was a tall, slender, beaked, and heavy man," and from 128 words I wrote four different notes, but only two were found. Detective Scott dictated eight words to Conley, which he swore took about six minutes to write. Frank said he provided information that Conley had signed a receipt at a particular jewelry store with a deal. At the time of the trial, the death certificate, written on brown paper, did not have a date line and stated Atlanta, Georgia, age 19. After that, when I put the paper under the magnifying glass, it was written in blue pen as follows. The name Becker was written there. He worked in a factory on the fourth floor.

⁣Mary Phagan was murdered at a pencil factory on Sunday morning. Monte Stover looked at her watch and said she had arrived at 12:05. W.W. Rogers testified that both clocks were working and showing the correct time, so Montene Stover must have arrived before Mary Phagan. Lemmie Quinn testified that he arrived at Mr Frank's office at 12:20 pm and met Mr Frank at 12:30 pm. J.A. White called her husband at the factory and left before 1:00 p.m. At 12:50 p.m., Frank came up to the 4th floor and said he wanted to leave.

⁣Evidence for the defense suggests that the transportation of the body took a very long time and did not match the exact time that the visitor saw Frank. The back door of the basement was Conley's escape route when he tried to escape from his creditors. Detective Stearns found traces of bloody fingerprints on the door and stripped two of what he believed to be bloody fingerprints from the door. The motive for this murder could be either robbery, or robbery and assault, or assault. The mesh bag was in Mary Phagan's hand, first described by Conley during re-examination at the trial. The doctors' testimony did not show this to be the case, but they testified that the excitement could have caused the blood to flood. Evidence indicates that Conley was the most depraved and lewd black man who ever lived in Georgia. The most important detail in this text is the jury verdict in the case of Leo M. Frank, who was convicted of murder. Juries are selected to consider evidence and determine its probative value, and the only authority that can consider the merits of a case and challenge the impartiality of a judgment is the judge of first instance. Constrained by the Constitution and the correction of errors of law, the Supreme Court found in the trial that no errors of law existed and rightly determined that there was sufficient evidence to support its ruling.

According to testimony, this negro had a habit of allowing men to go to the basement for immoral reasons, and when Mary Phagan passed him near the hatch leading to the basement, she may have attacked her. be. The Supreme Court concluded for granted that there was no legal error in the proceedings and that there was sufficient evidence to support the judgment. Orally from the bench, Judge Roan said he wasn't sure about the defendants' guilt, but didn't need to convince the jury that he had been persuaded. This statement was not included in the motion to annul the new trial because judges have the discretionary power to sentence defendants to life imprisonment if convicted of murder based on circumstantial evidence. But Judge Roan said that if the jury in State v. Frank was convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the evidence in the case was beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty of murder. I misunderstood my authority as evidence when I accused it of authority. The jury finds the defendant guilty.

The most important detail of the document is that Judge Roan, if Judge Roan had the extreme suspicion expressed in his testimony and remembered the powers conferred by law, he sentenced the defendant to life imprisonment. That is what I said. In a letter to lawyers, he said he would ask the prison commission to recommend the governor commuting Frank's sentence to life in prison. After months of consultation, an inquiry was made and Becker testified that from 1888 he worked in a pencil factory until 1912, during which time he signed orders for goods and consumables.

⁣The brown paper on which the death certificate was written bears Becker's signature, and by the time Becker left Atlanta in 1912, all the blank papers bearing the number 19 had been exhausted. Philip Chambers testified that there was an unused purchase order in the office next door to Frank's, and that he had been in the basement of the factory where no books or papers were found for a long time. On Sunday morning, Sergeant Dobbs visited the scene and found a legal pad on the ground near the note. Officer Anderson testified that the basement was full of pencils and trash. Darley testified that the paper with the note was a blank order form and was likely to be found throughout the building. The most important details of this document are the evidence presented to the jury and the matter of time. The state said Mary Phagan visited Leo M. Frank's office to pick up her paycheck sometime between 12:05 p.m. claimed to have made a statement. Monteen Stover swears that he came to Frank's office at 12:05 p.m and stayed until 12:10 p.m, and that he did not enter the room in which Frank was said to be working. The only way to reconcile her statement would be if, for the first time in her life, she entered Frank's office instead of the room where he allegedly worked. If Frank were working at his desk, he wouldn't be visible from the antechamber.

According to Monte Stover's testimony, Mary Phagan had to come pick up her paycheck, and Frank took her back to her medal room, intending to murder her while Monte Stover was in the office. He said he was. Solid evidence indicates that Mary Phagan had dinner at 11:30 a.m., and tram drivers told her she was at the corner of Forsyth and Marietta Streets at 12:11 p.m. I was on trolley number 1150, which was due to arrive at The distance from this place to the pencil factory was about 5 minutes her 1 mile and the walk to the factory took her 4-6 minutes. The car appears to have arrived as normal, but may have arrived two to three minutes earlier than planned. Evidence suggests that Mary Phagan was murdered in a pencil factory between 12:05 and 12:10.

Monte Stover looked at her watch and said he had arrived at 12:05. W.W. Rogers testified that both watches were running and showing the correct time. Leme Quinn testified that he arrived at Mr Frank's office at 12:20 pm and met Mr Frank at 12:30 pm. Mrs. J.A. White called to meet her husband at her factory and she left before 1:00 PM. At 12:50, Frank came up to the 4th floor and said he wanted to leave. Evidence for the defense suggests that the transportation of the body took a very long time and did not match the exact time that the visitor saw Frank.

⁣Evidence indicates that the lower door was unlocked when Mrs. White came in at 12:30 p.m. Detective Stearns found traces of bloody fingerprints on the door and stripped two of what he believed to be bloody fingerprints from the door. The motive for this murder could have been either robbery or assault, and there is no indication that Frank's motive was robbery. The mesh bag was in Mary Phagan's hand, first described by Conley during re-examination at the trial. The doctor's statement provided no information about his performance. Evidence indicates that Conley was the most depraved and despicable Negro who ever lived in Georgia, monitoring and describing the clothing and stockings of the women entering the factory. If Frank had hired Conley to babysit, it would have been just Mary Phagan, as he hadn't inappropriately proposed to another woman that day. An important detail in this document is that the jury found Leo M. It means that The Supreme Court found no error of law during the proceedings and concluded that there was sufficient evidence to support the judgment. First-instance judges are required to make wise judgments, and cannot allow judgments that they consider unjust.

In this regard, Judge Roan verbally stated that he was uncertain of the defendant's guilt. An important detail in this sentence is that Judge Roan, in charging the jury in State v. Frank, has the right to do so if he believes beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of murder. It means that he misunderstood his own authority as evidence when claiming that. Our jury finds the accused guilty. But if they go further and say nothing else in the verdict, the court will be forced to convict the defendant of the highest murder charges. H. hung around his neck until his death. The statement was not included in the motion to stop the new process under Article 63 of the Code. Judge Roan wrote to attorneys asking the prison board to recommend that the governor commute Frank's sentence to life in prison.

Although he was in a state of unease when he upheld the verdict, he is still unsure if Frank is guilty. The execution of a person whose guilt has not been fully proven is unthinkably horrific, and the Chief of State should make every effort to ascertain the truth.

The most important detail in this section of the chapter is that in the case of commutation, jury verdicts are not appealed, but that penalties for murder are imposed by the state and are penalties that a judge, without misunderstanding, would have imposed. That is. A pardon petition has been filed in the case of a white male hunter charged with murdering two white women in Savannah City. The Judge and Attorney General refused to recommend a pardon, but after reviewing the evidence and at the instigation of Savannah leaders who questioned the defendant's guilt, I commuted the sentence so that the innocent man could not be executed. . . Evidence was presented that he borrowed a gun, threatened him, and fled after the shooting. A key detail in the document is that the governor of Georgia refused to block an escapee from Fannon County Jail, commuting the sentence to life in prison. The judge and attorney general recommended a suspended sentence, which the governor granted, and on the judge's and attorney general's recommendation, the governor commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. Since then, three items have come to light since the trial, including Carter's memoirs and Dr. Carter's testimony. Harris said the hair on the lathe was not Mary Phagan's. The governor's conscience is a condemning conscience, and the governor cannot bear to be constantly dealing with a condemning conscience that reminds him that he did not do what he thought was right. The citation states that there are areas where the law allows life imprisonment instead of the death penalty, about which there is no reasonable doubt and absolute certainty. For Leo M Frank was plagued with doubts from the judge of the first instance, two Georgia court judges, two U.S. Supreme Court justices, and one of the three prison commissioners.

Governor John M. Slayton allowed the death penalty to be commuted to life imprisonment. The reaction to the cuts was immediate, with large angry rallies in Cobb, Fulton and other counties. In Marietta, a group hung a portrait of Frank and Slayton in the town park, and a portrait of the Governor with the words "Our Traitor Governor". The first issue of Tom Watson's The Jeffersonian continued to denounce and denigrate John Slayton, stating that "our great empire has been raped." A key detail of the document is that a mob was formed, allegedly marched to the state capitol to seek out and assault the governor.

Judge John J. Hart tried to address them as a pacifist, but they yelled at him. A mob then formed in Atlanta and attempted to march against the governor's home. Governor Slayton did not live in the governor's mansion, but in his own house. Fearing violence, the governor called in his bodyguards, members of the state militia. Captain Stokes was in charge, and Walter W. Foote was a relative of Pollard Turman's wife, Laura Trautman. The troops were stationed at a reasonable distance around the Governor's Palace.

Jefferson Davis McCord, former Athletic Director of Emory University, was a Private First Class in the University's Militia Division. A deadline was set on the street in front of the house, and the mob reached the line of troops. Lieutenant Foot attempted to address the crowd, but he was hit with a beer bottle. The mob dispersed, but the militia remained on guard for three days. During the week, violent anti-Semitic riots broke out, and Jewish businessmen in Atlanta and Marietta went out of business. Slayton risked his life to attend the inauguration of Nat E. Harris. Loud boos, hissing, and meowing erupted from the State Capitol as Mr. Slayton handed over the Georgia coat of arms. Slayton was able to leave Georgia unharmed and the following week he and his wife vacationed in Adirondack, New York, before embarking on a tour of Georgia, the Northeast, Midwest and Far West. Many years passed before the Slaytons' return seemed certain. John Slayton expressed his belief in Frank's innocence in a letter to his cousin Lamar on March 15, 1945. The letter described Sally, who never thought or did anything wrong when the mob threatened her home and life.

Sally accompanied all the meetings of the American Bar Association, and Justice Arthur Powell said of her that she was the Queen of her Bar Association. Sally made her debut at the White Greenbrier in Sulfur Springs and her sponsor and companion was Robert E. Lee's daughter Miss Mildred Lee. This letter was written to Sally for her amazing kindness and tenderness, and Sally would have been happy to have read it in her lifetime.

⁣The most important details in this text are the sentencing and aftermath of Leo Frank's trial. Judge Roan secretly brought Frank and the other principals together in the courtroom for the formal sentencing. The sentence read, "Leo M. Frank be taken from the bar of this court to the common jail of the county of Fulton and be safely there kept until his final execution in the manner fixed by law." On the 10th day of October 1913, the defendant was executed by the sheriff of Fulton County in private, witnessed only by the executing officer, a sufficient guard the relatives of such defendant and such clergyman and friends as he may desire, and that the defendant, between the hours of 10:00 A.m. and 02:00 p.m., be by the sheriff of Fulton County hanged by the neck until he shall be dead and may God have mercy on his soul." The trial had been the longest and most expensive trial in Georgia history, with the stenographic record being 1,080,060 words. The state star witness, Jim Conley, had been on the witness stand longer than any other witness in state history Judge Roan was Rosser's senior law partner from 1883 to 1886. The temper of the public mind was such that it invaded the courtroom and made itself manifest at every turn the jury made. This prejudice rendered any other verdict impossible. Frank's lawyers began to prepare their appeal immediately after the sentencing, including affidavits about the alleged prejudice towards Leo Frank of two members of the jury, A. H. Hensley and M. Johanning. The family of H. C. Lovenhard swore that on meeting Marcellus Johenning on the street before the trial he had told them, "I know he is guilty". Other points raised included the jurors being influenced by the crowd's demonstrations outside the courtroom and that the evidence did not support the verdict. Solicitor General Dorsey argued that the trial had been fair and countered with affidavits from eleven jurors who swore they did not hear or see demonstrations from crowds outside the courtroom. Both jurors who had been deemed prejudiced by the defense denied the charges. Rosser and Arnold made a final plea to Judge Roan, who denied the defense's motion for a new trial. The ruling was affirmed by the Georgia Supreme Court on February 17, 1914. Two judges, Beck and Fish, dissented on the question of admissibility of Jim Conley's testimony as to Frank's sexual perversion, but did not find the evidence in question sufficient cause to alter the guilty verdict. Not long after the Georgia Supreme Court decision, the Atlanta Journal reported that the state biologist who examined the body of Mary Phagan had concluded that the hair found on the lathe which the prosecution had cited as a major factor in its case, was not Mary Phagan's. The biologist told Solicitor General Dorsey that he did not depend on the biologist's testimony, as other witnesses in the case swore that the hair was that of Mary Phagan. The most important details in this text are that several prosecution witnesses retracted their original testimony, including Albert McKnight, Mrs. Nina Formby, George Epps, Jr., and Mary Phagan. Other witnesses conveyed that they had invented or lied about evidence due to the pressure brought by police detectives and solicitor Dorsey. In addition, the defense lawyers restudied the case, including Henry Alexander, who studied the murder notes allegedly written by Conley at Frank's direction, which were written on old carbon pads and had a dateline of September 19.

⁣Mr. Alexander alleged that the words "night witch" in the note beside Mary Phagan's body, which had been interpreted to mean night watch or watchman by those who believed the notes had been written under the direction of a white man, actually referred to a negro folktale. On March 7, 1914, Frank was resentenced to die. A stay of execution was obtained on an extraordinary motion for a new trial based on newly found evidence. Three witnesses said the state's star witness, Jim Conley, was the killer. Annie Maud Carter in New Orleans said Conley told her he had called Mary Phagan over as she left Frank's office with her pay envelope, hit her over the head, and pushed her over a scuttle hole in the back of the building.

The most important details in this text are that Annie Maud Carter gave the Burns Agency some love letters from Conley which the Constitution said were so vile and vulgar that they couldn't be published in the newspaper. The defense contended that these love letters showed that Conley had perverted passion and lust. A black prisoner named Freeman told his story to the prison doctor, who reported that Conley was the killer. Conley's court appointed attorney, William Smith, thought Frank was innocent and made a public statement on October 2,114, saying that Conley's testimony was a cunning fabrication. This extraordinary revelation, which went against the lawyer client confidentiality privilege, was extolled by those who believed in Frank's innocence and castigated as being caused by bribery by those who believed him guilty.

William Smith revealed no new facts to support his beliefs, but instead tried to show how the already known facts had been misinterpreted due to Conley's lies. It has been said that Jim Conley confessed to William Smith, and a confession statement allegedly by Conley has been published in For One confessions of a Criminal Lawyer by Alan Lumpkin Henson. However, Walter Smith, William Smith's son, denied the authenticity of Conley's "confession", but brought to light facts which had been previously undisclosed regarding William Smith's relationship to his client. William Smith was reputed to be a very conscientious and ethical lawyer, and his prime obligation was to his client. He had been appointed to defend Conley by the court and he worked very closely with the prosecutor, Hugh Dorsey.

Smith believed in Frank's guilt and coached Jim Conley in how to react in the courtroom. He acted out the style and gyrations of Luther Rosser to Conley so well that when the actual trial was in session, Conley was not rattled in the least. Smith went to great lengths to defend Conley and to dig up facts against Frank. At some point in the course of the trial, Smith began to doubt that his client had been telling the truth and tried to get him the lightest sentence possible. Conley was convicted as an accessory to the fact and sentenced to one year on the chain gang. Smith felt morally and legally free to do some investigating and probing on his own.

⁣William Smith believed that Leo Frank was innocent and that he himself was responsible for his conviction. He launched a thorough investigation which convinced him that Frank was innocent and that Conley was guilty. He went to Governor Slayton with his conclusions and his story was important in helping Slayton reach the decision to commute Frank's sentence. Smith's life was threatened and he and his family were forced to leave Georgia. In the last years of his life, Smith's vocal cords were paralyzed and he carried a pad of paper on which to write messages in the hospital room.

On May 8, 1914, superior court Judge Ben H.Hill denied the defense motion for a new trial, which was affirmed unanimously by the Georgia Supreme Court. Jewish organizations and groups raised the issue of religious prejudice before Leo Frank's trial ended. The appeals for funds for Leo Frank's defense were made through mailing, circulars and newspaper advertisements throughout the country and particularly in the north. This resulted in a virtual reenactment of the Civil War between Northern and southern newspapers, which increased in intensity as the trial progressed. The New York Times and Colliers Weekly called for a new trial, mass rallies were held in United States cities, and thousands of letters, petitions and telegrams were sent to Governor Slayton and soon to be Governor Nat Harris.

However, the conviction of Frank became an article of faith for Southerners and the belief in Frank's innocence became the litmus test in the Jewish community of Atlanta for antisemitism. On March 10, 1914, the Atlanta Journal editorially called for a new trial, saying that if Frank is found guilty after a fair trial, he should be hanged and his death without a fair trial and legal conviction will amount to judicial murder. The most important details in this text are that the court, lawyers, and jury were not able to decide impartially and without fear the guilt or innocence of an accused man. The atmosphere of the courtroom was charged with an electric current of indignation, and the streets were filled with an angry, determined crowd ready to seize the defendant if the jury had found him not guilty. When the jury returned the guilty verdict, Frank was not in the courtroom, but at the Fulton Tower.

Cheers for the prosecuting counsel were irrepressible in the courtroom throughout the trial, and on the streets, unseemly demonstrations and condemnation of Frank were heard by the judge and jury. The judge was powerless to prevent these outbursts in the courtroom and the police were unable to control the crowd outside. The Fifth Regiment of the National Guard was kept under arms throughout the night, ready to rush on a moment's warning to the protection of the defendant. The press of the city united in an earnest request to the presiding judge to not permit the verdict of the jury to be received on Saturday, as it was known that a verdict of acquittal would cause a riot. Frank was tried and convicted, but the evidence on which he was convicted is not clear.

The outbursts in the courtroom and the police were unable to control the crowds outside were events that all three newspapers had not printed during the trial. The Journal remained quiet about these events for a year.

⁣The Atlanta Georgian, which was silent during the trial, later called for a new trial. Tom Watson, who had been defeated for vice president of the United States on the populace ticket in 1896, immediately launched a scathing attack against those criticizing the results of the Frank case. He referred to Frank as being a Jew pervert and said he denied justice to the family of a poor factory girl. Burns offered a $1000 reward to anyone who could provide evidence that Frank was a sexual pervert, but no one came forward. Burns also brought forth evidence given to him by the reverend C.B.Ragsdale, pastor of the Atlanta Baptist Church, who told the story of overhearing two black men, one of whom confessed to killing a little girl at the factory the other day. Later, Ragsdale repudiated his statement. A Burns operative, Mr. Toby, had been retained by members of the Phagan family and their neighbors to investigate the murder and discover the murderer. After several weeks of investigating, Toby resigned and announced that he had concluded that Frank was the guilty party. Dorsey alleged that Burns tried to bribe witnesses to give false testimony.

The hearing on extraordinary motion for a new trial was based on the absence of Frank at the reception of the verdict. On December 7, 1914, a writ of error was taken to the United States Supreme Court and was denied. Frank was sentenced to be hanged on January 22, 1915. Frank's attorneys then filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus to the United States Supreme Court on April 19, 1915. The two justices who dissented were Oliver Wendell Holmes and Charles Evans Hughes.

They dissented on the basis that a lower court hearing should have been held to determine the validity of the defense. The most important details in this text are that Governor John Slayton was the only hope left for Frank, and his attorneys appealed to him for a commutation of his sentence from hanging to life imprisonment. Slayton referred this request to the state Prison Commission and asked them to pass their recommendation to the governor. Meanwhile, Frank's attorneys filed an appeal for a clemency hearing before the three man Georgia Prison Commission. The hearing date was scheduled for May 31, 1915.

On May 31, 1915, out of state and in state delegations appeared to plead for Frank's life. They had submitted voluminous documents to convince the commission an error had been made, including a letter by presiding Judge Leonard Roan written shortly before his death on March 23, 1915. Some members of Roan's family doubted the authenticity of the letter for years, but Dr. Wallace E. Brown, owner of the Berkshire Hills Sanatorium, attested to Roan's rational mental state. Brown also stated that he has been a resident of North Adams, Massachusetts, practically all his life, and is now serving his third term as mayor of the city of North Adams.

⁣On Sunday, November 20, 1914, Judge L.S. Roan of Atlanta, Georgia dictated a letter to Mrs. Wallace E.Brown of North Adams, Massachusetts, asking for executive clemency in the punishment of Leo M. Frank. The letter was written by Judge Roan of Atlanta, Georgia, to Mrs. Wallace E.Brown, who was then Miss Jane Deity. The letter expressed the deponent's uncertainty of Frank's guilt due to the character of the Negro Conley's testimony. The letter also stated that the chief magistrate of the state should exert every effort in ascertaining the truth, and that the execution of any person whose guilt has not been satisfactorily proven to the constituted authorities is too horrible to contemplate. The deponent heard Judge Roan dictate the letter before copied and saw him read and sign the name.

Judge Roan had stated to Deponent that he was not convinced of Frank's guilt and that if executive clemency were asked for Frank, he intended to recommend commutation. The next morning, some 50 determined looking men from Cobb County marched into the Prison Commission office and demanded the hearing be reopened. They included former governor Joseph M. Brown and Herbert Clay, solicitor of the Blue Ridge Circuit. Clay spoke for hours against Commutation arguing that Georgia would be dishonored for all time if Frank were spared for his alleged abominable crime. The commission reopened the hearing and the commissioners listened intently and said nothing.

At the end of the reopening, they issued a statement that they would offer their recommendation to Governor Slayton in a week by a two to one vote. On June 1915, the commissioners refused to recommend commutation to Governor Slayton, leaving it up to the governor.

⁣The most important details of Leo Frank's defense were the inconsistencies in his testimony. Jim Conley testified that Mary Phagan had arrived at the Pencil factory before Monte Stover, but the motor, man and conductor of the trolley asserted that she had gotten off at 12:10. Most witnesses agreed that it would have taken at least one half hour for the murder and movement of the body to the seller, the writing of the murder notes and Conley's hiding in the wardrobe to occur. However, there were only 30 minutes between 12:00 and 1230 that Frank's time was not accounted for. The defense called more than 20 witnesses to corroborate Frank's version of when the murder happened, where Frank had been, and at what time.

The first two witnesses, W.H. Matthews, motorman, and W.T. Hollis, conductor of the English Avenue car, testified that Mary Phagan got on at Lindsay Street at about 1150 and was alone. Herbert Schiff, assistant superintendent of the Pencil factory, testified to the system of business, the preparation of the financial sheet, the procedure for paying off employees and how the pencils are made. Miss Maddie Hall Stenographer from Montague testified that she finished her work, left around twelve two and punched the clock, and that Frank did not make up the financial sheet that Saturday morning. Miss Corinthia Hall swore that she was the four lady for the factory and got there Saturday around 11:30 a.m. with Mrs. Emma Clark Freeman. Miss Magnolia Kennedy swore that she was behind Helen Ferguson and Helen Ferguson did not ask for Mary Phagan's pay envelope. On cross examination, she stated that barrett called her attention to the hair and her machine was right next to Mary's. Mary's hair was a light brown sandy color and she did not see the blood spots on the floor. Wade Campbell, another employee, was the brother of Mrs. White who told him about seeing the Negro on Saturday.

Lemme Quinn, foreman of the factory, testified that 100 women worked at the factory. He noticed the blood spots at the lady's dressing room on Monday and was in the office and saw Mr. Frank between 1220 and 1225. Several witnesses later testified that Quinn advised them he had visited Frank prior to noon in the factory the Saturday of the murder. Harry Denham, one of the carpenters on the fourth floor, testified that he was hammering about 40 feet from the elevator on April 26. Minola McKnight, the cook for the Seligs, testified that she worked for Mrs. Selig and cooked breakfast for the family on April 26.

Mr. Frank finished breakfast a little after 07:00 and came to dinner about 20 minutes after one. Her husband, Albert McKnight, wasn't in the kitchen that day between one and 02:00. Mr. Frank left that day sometime after 02:00 and next saw him at 06:30 at supper. She left about 08:00 and Mr. Frank was still at home when she left.

⁣The most important details in this text are that the detectives arrested the woman and took her to Mr. Dorsey's office, where they tried to get her to say that Mr. Frank would not allow her to sleep that night and that he told her to get up and get his gun and let him kill himself. The woman denied it and was shown a copy of her original statement. On cross examination, she was shown a copy of her original statement and said she signed it but didn't tell him some of the things she got in there. At 01:00, Mr. Graves and Mr. Pickett of Beck and Greg Hardware Company came down to see the woman. The detectives wanted the woman to witness to what her husband was saying, but the woman refused to do it.

The detectives wanted the woman to witness to what her husband was saying, but the woman refused to do it. The most important details in this text are the statements made by Leo Frank and his wife, Mrs. AP. Levy, Mrs. M. G. Michael of Athens, and Mrs. Henny Wolfsheimer. Mrs. AP. Levy testified that she saw Frank get off the trolley car on Memorial Day between one and 02:00 and observed nothing unusual about him. Mrs. M. G. Michael of Athens testified that she saw Frank between one and 02:00 and observed nothing unusual about him. Mrs. Henny Wolfsheimer testified that she saw Frank between one and 02:00 and observed nothing unusual about him.

Emile Selig, Frank's father in law, testified to Leo Frank's natural conduct. Mrs. AP. Levy testified that she saw Frank get off the trolley car on Memorial Day between one and 02:00 and observed nothing unusual about him. Mrs. Henny Wolfsheimer testified that she saw Frank between one and 02:00 and observed nothing unusual about him. Emile Selig, Frank's father in law, testified to Leo Mrs. RIA Frank's mother took the stand and stated that her son Leo does not have any rich relatives in Brooklyn. She stated that she has about $20,000 out of interest, a $6,000 mortgage on the house she lives in, and a $6,000 mortgage on the house she owns.

Her husband is doing nothing and is not in good health. Mrs. Ria, Frank's brother in law, Mr. Moses Frank, usually spends a Sunday with them in Brooklyn before he sails for Europe and has dinner with them. He is supposed to be very wealthy, but Mrs. RIA Frank does not know how much cash her husband has in the bank. ⁣The most important details in this text are the testimony of nearly 200 witnesses who largely corroborated Frank's version of what had happened the day of the murder and to discredit the State's witnesses. The defense was determined to establish Frank's good character which of course carried with it the opportunity for the prosecution to introduce subsequent evidence as to Frank's alleged bad reputation and character. Jim Conley's reputation and past experiences, including his drinking habits, problems with the law, and history of petty theft and disorderly conduct, were heavily attacked by the defense lawyers and witnesses. The core of this focus was the question could Jim Conley be believed? Mrs. Rebecca Carson, a four lady at the pencil factory, testified that the elevator was noisy when it ran and that Jim Conley told her on Monday he was so drunk the previous Saturday he did not know where he was or what he did.

Mrs. E.M. Carson testified that she saw blood spots around the lady's dressing room and that Conley said, quote mr. White saw sitting on a box at the foot of the stairs. The most important details in this text are that Miss Mary Pierk, another four lady at the factory, testified that she accused Jim Conley of the murder and he took his broom and walked right out of the office. Miss Pierke also stated that she did not tell Frank of her suspicions and that she suspected Jim because he looked and acted so differently. Another important defense witness was Daisy Hopkins, who had been named by Jim Conley as one of the girls Dalton and Frank brought to the factory for immoral purposes. She worked in the packing department on the second floor and never spoke to Mr. Frank when he would pass.

She had never been in his office drinking beer, Coca Cola or anything else, and never visited the factory with him until she went to his to see Mrs. Taylor, who lived with him then. The most important details in this text are that Mrs. Hopkins had been arrested but not tried for fornication, and that she never had to pay anything except her lawyer's fee. Ms. Doris Small testified that she worked at the factory and saw Jim Conley on the fourth floor on Tuesday. She did not see Frank talk to Conley, and later she said that Jim worried her with money so he could buy a newspaper and every time he heard a NEWSBOY yell, she would get extra money. Alonzo Mann, an office boy at the National Pencil Company, testified that Leo Frank's reputation for moral rectitude was good and that he believed Mr. Frank was just as innocent as the angels from heaven.

On cross examination, she testified that Frank came up the stairs Tuesday where Conley was, but she did not see them talking. All 49 women employees at the pencil factory testified that Leo Frank's general reputation and his reputation for moral rectitude was good. Alonzo Mann's revelations 69 years later brought the Leo Frank Mary Phagan murder case into national prominence.

⁣The most important details in this text are that Leo Frank was anatomically normal during his incarceration, and that he was an upright and law abiding citizen. Despite Jim Conley's allegations, several physicians who examined Frank during his incarceration testified that he was anatomically normal. 56 associates of Frank at Cornell University in Brooklyn and in Atlanta testified as to his general good character as an upright and law abiding citizen. Georgia Law in 1913 stipulated that no defendant could be sworn to testify for himself, and that the prisoner would have the right to make to the court and jury such statement in the case as he deems proper in his defense. Concluding the defense's case, Frank submitted a lengthy statement on the stand, and he refused to be cross examined.

The speaker was born in Paris, Texas in 1884 and moved to Brooklyn, New York at the age of three months. He attended Pratt Institute and Cornell University, where he graduated in June 1906. He then accepted a position as draftsman with the BF.sturd Event Company of High Park, Massachusetts. After six months, he returned to his home in Brooklyn where he accepted a position as testing engineer and draftsman with the National Meter Company of Brooklyn, New York. After two weeks, he returned to New York where he studied the pencil business and looked after the erection and testing of the machinery.

In August 1908, he returned to America and immediately came south to Atlanta. He married Lucille Selig, an Atlanta girl, and the majority of his married life has been spent at the home of his parents in law, Mr. and Mrs.E. Selig, at 68 East Georgia Avenue. His married life has been exceptionally happy and he found Mr. Holloway, the day watchman, at his usual place. The most important details in this text are that the office boy found Alonzo Mann in the outer office and opened his desk and opened the safe.

He then went out to the shipping room and conversed with Mr.Irby about the work he was going to do that morning. He returned to his office and looked through the papers he was going to take over on his usual trip to the general manager's office. The most important mathematical work in the office of the pencil factory is the invoices covering shipments that are sent to customers. It is important that the prices be correct, the amount of goods shipped agrees with the amount on the invoice, the terms are correct and the address is correct. The most important details in this text are that the narrator was responsible for checking invoices for freight deductions, and that they had to do this work all by themselves that morning.

They noticed that Miss Eubanks the day before had sacrificed accuracy to speed, and that every one of the invoices were wrong. They had to make corrections as they went along, figure them out, extend them, make deductions for freight if there were any to be made, and then get the total shipments. On April 24, the narrator made the financial sheet which he makes out every Saturday afternoon, on this figure of total shipments.

⁣The narrator had to figure out the total shipments for the week and arrange them in their entirety. At about 09:00, Mr. Darley and Mr. Wade Campbell, the inspector of the factory, came into the outer office and the narrator stopped work to chat with them. A quarter after nine, Miss Maddie Smith came in and asked for her pay envelope and her sister in law's pay envelope. The narrator went to the safe and unlocked it and gave her the required two envelopes and placed the remaining envelopes in their cash box. After Miss Smith had gone away with the envelopes, Mr. Darley came back with the envelopes and pointed out an error in one of them, either the sister in law of Miss Maddie Smith.

He had deducted the amount that was too much and balanced the payroll, leaving about five or $0.10 over. The narrator continued to work on these invoices when Mr. Lyons, superintendent of Montague Brothers, came in. The narrator and Mr. Darley went to the outer office of Montague Brothers and met up with Mr. SIG Montag, the general manager of the business, and Miss Hattie Hall, the pencil company stenographer. The narrator asked Miss Hattie Hall to come over and help the narrator that morning, but she said she wanted to have at least half a holiday on Memorial Day. The narrator then went to Crookshank Soda Fount and bought a package of favorite cigarettes.

The narrator then went to Montague Brothers and spoke to Mr. SIG Montag, the general manager of the business, and then Mr. Matthews and Mr. Cross of the Montague brothers. The narrator then asked Miss Hattie Hall to come over and help the narrator that morning, but she said she wanted to have at least half a holiday on Memorial Day. The narrator spoke to several of the Montague Brothers force on business matters and other matters, and then saw Harry Gotteimer, the sales manager of the National Pencil Company. They discussed two of Gotteimer's orders, which he wanted to ship right away. The narrator was glad for Gotteimer to come back with him later that morning or in the afternoon, as he would be there until about 01:00 and after three.

On arrival at Forsyth Street, the narrator noticed the clock indicated five minutes after 11:00. The narrator returned to Forsyth Street alone and noticed the clock indicated five minutes after 11:00. The narrator saw Mr. Holloway and told him to go as soon as he got ready. He had some work to do for Harry Denham and Arthur White, who were doing repair work on the top floor. The narrator then went into the outer office and found Miss Hattie Hall and Mrs. Arthur White.

They then went into the inner office and removed the papers they had brought back from Montague Brothers. It was about this time that the elevator motor started up and the circular saw in the carpenter shop was running. The narrator separated the orders from the letters and took the other material that didn't need immediate attention.

⁣The most important details in this text are that the narrator noticed that the sheet which contains the record of pencils packed for the week did not include the report for Thursday, the day the fiscal week ends. The narrator then asked Alonzo Man, the office boy, to call up Mr. Schiff and find out when he was coming down. Mrs. Emma Clark Freeman and Miss Corinthia Hall, two of the girls who worked on the fourth floor, came in and asked permission to go upstairs and get Mrs. Freeman's coat. Two gentlemen came in, one of them a Mr. Graham and the other the father of a boy by the name of Earl Burdett. The narrator then gave the required pay envelopes to the two fathers and chatted with them about the trouble their boys had gotten into the day previous.

Emma Clark Freeman and Miss Corinthia Hall came into the office and asked permission to use the telephone. Miss Hattie Hall then typed the mail and brought it to the desk to be read over and signed. At a quarter to twelve, Arthur White and Harry Denham and Arthur White's wife were in the building. Mary Phagan, a little girl, entered the office and asked for her pay envelope. The author recognized her from having seen her around the plant and not knowing her name.

She had evidently worked in the metal department and had been laid off owing to the fact that some metal that had been ordered had not arrived at the factory. Lemme Quinn, the foreman of the plant, came in and asked the narrator if Mr. Schiff had come down. The narrator continued to work until they finished their work and requisitions and looked at their watch at a quarter to one. They called their home and then gathered their papers together and went upstairs to see the boys on the top floor. Mrs.Arthur White, one of the witnesses, states it was 1235 when she passed by and saw the narrator.

The narrator has no recollection of it. The narrator arrived upstairs to see Arthur White and Harry Denham, and Mr. White's wife, who had been working there. The narrator asked them if they were ready to go and they said they had enough work to keep them several hours. The narrator then went down and gathered up their papers, locked their desk, washed their hands, put on their hat and coat, and locked the inner door to their office and the doors to the street. From the time the whistle blew for 12:00 until a quarter to one when the narrator spoke to Arthur White and Harry Denham, the narrator did not stir out of the inner office. It is possible that the narrator went to the toilet to answer a call of nature or to Urinate.

⁣The most important details in this text are that the narrator is unable to see out into the outer hall when the safe doors open, and that he is unable to go with his brother-in-law out to the ball game due to some work he had to do with the factory. He then calls up his brother-in-law to inform him that he would not be able to go with him, and he continues to eat dinner with his father-in-law and Minola McKnight. After dinner, the narrator goes out in the backyard to look after his chickens and lights a cigarette. After a few minutes, the narrator gets up and walks up Georgia Avenue to get a car, but misses the ten minutes to two car and sees Mrs. Mickel, an aunt of the narrator's wife, and several ladies there. After a few minutes, Mrs. Wolfsheimer comes out of the house.

The most important details in this text are that the narrator waited until they could catch a car and then got on the car and talked to Mr. Loeb on the way to town. The car got to a point about the intersection of Washington Street and Hunter Street and the fire engine house and there were a couple of cars stalled up ahead of them. The narrator then walked down Whitehall on the side of Mr. M. Rich and brother store towards Brown and Allens and stood there between 02:30 and a few minutes to 03:00 until the parade passed entirely. The narrator then went on down Alabama Street to Forsyth Street and down Forsyth Street to the factory and opened the safe and desk and hung up their coat and hat and started to work on the financial report. After the narrator started to work on the financial sheet, Arthur White and Harry Denham came into the office and Arthur White borrowed $2 from the narrator in advance on his wages.

The narrator was working on a financial sheet when they noticed Newt Lee the watchman coming from the head of the stairs. He offered the narrator a banana out of a yellow bag, but the narrator declined it. The narrator then took Newt Lee around the plant 1st, second and third floors and into the basement and told him it was his duty to go over the entire building every half hour, not only to completely tour the upper four floors, but to go down to the basement. The narrator also showed him the cutoff for the electric current and told him in case of a fire that it ought to be pulled so no firemen coming in would be electrocuted. The narrator explained everything to him in detail and told him he was to make that tour every half hour and stamp it on the time card.

⁣The most important details in this text are the time slips that Newt Lee registered his punches on Saturday night and Sunday night, and the time slips that he registered his punches on Monday night. As the narrator was putting the slips into the clock, they saw Newt Lee coming up the stairs and looking at the clock. He heard Newt Lee ring the bell on the clock when he registered his first punch for the night, and he went downstairs to the front door to await his departure. After washing, the narrator went downstairs to the front door and saw Newt Lee in conversation with Mr.J.M. Gantt, a man that the narrator had let go from the office two weeks previous.

The narrator spoke to Mr. Gantt and asked him what he wanted, and he said he had a couple of pairs of shoes, black pear and tamper, in the shipping room. The narrator then walked up Forsyth Street to Alabama, down Alabama to Broad Street, and then down to Jacob's Whitehall The narrator sat looking at the paper until 630 when they called up at the factory to find out if Mr. Gantt had left. At 07:00, they were successful in getting Newt Lee and asked him if Mr. Gantt had gone again. The next day, the narrator was awakened by a telephone ringing and was informed by City Detective Starnes that Mr. Frank, superintendent of the National Pencil Company, wanted the narrator to come down to the factory right away due to a tragedy. The narrator hung up and went upstairs to dress to go with the people who should come for him in the automobile.

When the automobile arrived, the narrator's wife went downstairs to answer the door with a night dress with a robe over it, and the narrator followed her. The most important details in this text are that the narrator went downstairs to follow his wife and asked them what the trouble was. The two witnesses, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Black, differ with the narrator on the place where the conversation occurred. The narrator was asked if they knew Mary Phagan, a little girl with long hair hanging down her back, who worked in the tipping plant. The narrator replied that they did, but didn't know her name.

They wanted the narrator to come down with them to the factory, and the narrator finished dressing and went right on with them in the automobile. The narrator and two men made a quick trip to the undertakers, where they were asked to identify the body of a little girl. They walked down a long, dark passageway until they reached a small room with an electric light. The attendant then switched on the electric light and the narrator saw the body of the little girl. Mr. Rogers then walked in the room and stood to the right of the narrator, while Mr. Black was to the left of the narrator.
The most important details in this text are that the attendant, Mr. Chestling, removed the sheet covering the body and put his finger on the wound in the left side back of the head. The hands and arms of the little girl were dirty, blue and ground with dirt and cinders, and the nostrils and mouth were open and full of sawdust and swollen. On the forehead, about the neck, there was twine and a piece of white rag. After looking at the body, the attendant identified the little girl as the one who had been up shortly afternoon the day previous and got her money from the undertaker. They then left the undertaking establishment and rode over to the pencil factory, where they saw Mr. Darley going into the front door with another man.

In the inner office, the night watchman Newt Lee was in the custody of Detective Starnes. The payroll book showed that Mary Phagan worked in the metal plant and was due to draw $1.20. The detectives wanted to take the narrator down in the basement to find the body of Mary Phagan. The narrator went to the elevator box to turn on the current and found it open. They then got on the elevator and the narrator pulled the rope to start the elevator, but it seemed to be caught.

The narrator asked Mr. Darley to try his hand and he was successful in getting it loose. The officers showed the narrator where the body was found, just beyond the partition of the Clark Wooden Wear Company and behind the door to the dust bin. The most important details in this text are that the hat and slipper were found on the trash pile, and that the back door opened 18 inches. After looking at the basement, Mr. Darley and himself went upstairs to lock up the back door. After returning upstairs, they accompanied Chief Lanford on a tour of inspection through the three upper floors of the factory.

They looked into each bin and partition and each dressing room, and the dressing room that has figured so prominently in the trial. The narrator was nervous and unstrung that morning, and the sight of an electric light flashing on was enough to drive a man to distraction. The most important details in this text are that a man who is ordinary flesh and blood is showing signs of nervousness after a sight of a little girl being cruelly snuffed out. They went with the officers in an automobile, where Mr. Rogers was at the driving wheel and Mr. Darley sat next to him. On arrival at headquarters, they went up to Chief Lanford's office and discussed the matter in general.

After staying there for a few minutes, they left and went to Bloomfields on Prior Street and Mitchell. When they went into the establishment, they were told that someone was busy with the body and they couldn't see it. They started to leave when they met a certain person with whom they made arrangements to watch the building.

⁣Detectives Scott and Black came to the factory and asked Mr. Frank to go to headquarters with them. They showed him a piece of material of a shirt and asked him if he had ever worn it. Newt Lee was brought up from a cell and showed him the same sample. Detectives Scott and Black then opened the package and revealed the full shirt, which had all the appearance of being freshly stained with blood and had a distinct odor. Chief Lanford began an examination of Mr. Frank's face, head, hands, and arms.

Mr. Rosser came in and spoke to the detectives or to Chief Beavers, who thought it better that Mr. Frank should stay down there. The narrator is being detained at headquarters, but if they wish, they can engage a supernumerary policeman to guard them and give them freedom of the building. Detective Starnes, John N. Starns, comes in and dictates from the original notes found near the body. The narrator writes a note at the dictation of Mr. Starnes and gives him a photographic reproduction of the note. Detective Starnes then takes the narrator down to the desk sergeant where they search the narrator and enter their name on the book under a charge of suspicion.

The narrator then sits in a small room while their father in law arranges for a supernumerary policeman to guard them for the night. Detective Scott and Detective Black came to Mr. Frank's room on the top floor of the headquarters on Tuesday, April 29 to discuss the possibility of couples being let into the factory at night by the night watchman, Newt Lee. They stressed the possibility of couples having been let into the factory at night by the night watchman, Newt Lee, and asked Mr. Frank to see what he could do with him. Mr. Frank agreed and was taken to a room on the top floor of the headquarters. Detective Scott and Detective Black stressed the possibility of couples having been let into the factory at night by the night watchman, Newt Lee, and asked Mr. Frank to see what he could do with him.

The most important details in this text are the instructions given by Detective Black to Newt Lee, who was handcuffed to a chair in a room and told to open up and tell all he knows about happenings at the pencil factory on Saturday night. After speaking to Newt, the narrator asked him if he knew anything about couples coming in there at night and remembering the instructions Mr. Black had given him. Newt replied like an old negro quote before God, "I am telling you the truth, and I have told you all I know." The conversation ended right there, and the detectives came back into the room and began questioning Newt Lee.

⁣The most important details in this text are that the narrator had their first initiation into the third degree in Atlanta police department, and that the narrator had no part in causing Mary Phagan's death. The narrator's statement to the witness Dalton is false, and the narrator's statement to Conley is a tissue of lies from first to last. The narrator has no rich relatives in Brooklyn, New York, and their father is an invalid. They have no relative who has any means at all except Mr. M. Frank, who lives in Atlanta, Georgia. No one has raised a fund to pay the fees of their attorneys, and the narrator's lawyers have been paid by the sacrifice in part of the small property their parents possess.

Defense attorney Arnold argued that Frank could not have committed the murder, but this evidence provided the motive for the crime. Defense attorney Luther Rosser pleaded for Frank's life for three and one half hours.

The text also mentions that Conley was a dirty, filthy, black, drunken, lying nigger who had been shaved, washed, and dressed up, and that he was willing to find the murderer. The text concludes by stating that the charge of moral perversion against a man is a terrible thing for him.

⁣The most important details in this text are that the defendant, Leo Frank, had a wife and mother to be affected by it, and that the Solicitor General had visited the defendant seven times to try him under such testimony. Additionally, two witnesses quoted antisemitic remarks from others, including Ty Brent and Sir Rebuttal, who both expressed their bitterness towards Leo Frank. Finally, the jury was informed that the case against Frank was the greatest frame up in the history of the state, and that if Frank hadn't been a Jew, there would never have been any prosecution against him. SL Asher, sworn for the defendant in Sir Rebuttal, said two weeks ago that a man was talking loudly about the Frank case and suggested they should take him out and hang him. Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey then spoke until court adjourned and six more hours on Saturday and three Monday morning.

The most important details in this text are that the jury returned a guilty verdict in the case of Mary Phagan, who died because she wouldn't yield her virtue to the demands of her superintendent. Judge L. S. Rohn asked to see all counsel in his chambers and showed them letters from the editors of three of Atlanta's newspapers predicting the results of Leo Frank's acquittal. He requested that both counsel agree that the defendant not be present in the courtroom when the jury told their verdict, and Solicitor General Dorsey gave his consent only after Rosser and Arnold agreed that this absence would not be used as a basis for appeal. J. W. Coleman, little Mary's stepfather, walked over to the jury box with tears streaming down his face and thanked each man on the jury with a grip of his hand.

He then turned to Judge Rohn and thanked him for the pains he had taken with the trial and for his fair dealing with all parties concerned. He made the following statement to a Constitution reporter: "I am entirely satisfied with the manner in which the trial has been conducted and also with the verdict returned. ⁣ knew by looking at the faces of the jurors as they were chosen that they were all men who could be relied upon to give fair and careful consideration to each point and that they were of the High.
Type of character who would give their best efforts as citizens of this commonwealth without thought of themselves to determine the guilt or innocence of Leo Frank. I would not for any consideration like to see an innocent man pay the death penalty, but I feel sure that anyone in the world who has kept up with the trial in all its phases and with every scrap of evidence submitted, would have found Frank guilty, as these honorable gentlemen have done. I am deeply grateful to them and to Judge Roan."

⁣Hugh Dorsey emerged from the courtroom building and was greeted by the laughing, cheering, rejoicing crowd. Fanny Phagan Coleman, who had been unable to attend court that day, expressed her relief that it was all over. She had not been well for the last week and her mother had been sick, so she could not attend all the sessions of the court. Rabbi Marks sat with Frank and his wife at the Fulton Tower awaiting the verdict. A friend told Frank the verdict and he exclaimed, "Guilty. My God. Even the jury was influenced by mob law. I am as innocent as I was a year ago."

⁣The Leo Frank case was convened in a temporary Atlanta courtroom on July 28, 1913, with 250 seats and 20 officers guarding the courtroom. The jurors, all white men and Atlanta residents, were chosen within 3 hours of the first morning of the trial. The defense used 18 of its 20 strikes without a cause while the prosecution used seven of the ten allowed. The twelve jurors were C.J. Bashard Pressman, I Hensley, Buggy Company, J. F. Higdon Building Contractor, Jefferies - Real Estate, Johenning Shipping Clerk, WF Medcalf Mailer, J.T. Osborne, Optician, Frederick V. L. Smith paying teller, D. Townsend paying teller, F.A. Windburn Railroad Claims agent, Al Weizby Cashier, M. S. Woodward - Cashier, King - Hardware. The Chief prosecutor, solicitor General Hugh A. Dorsey, was handsome and forceful, assisted by Frank Arthur Hooper and Edward A. Stevens. The defense was defended by Atlanta's two well known trial lawyers Special Assistant Solicitor Hooper described the State's case against Leo Frank, who was accused of premeditated rape of Mary Phagan. He alleged that Frank had seduced and taken liberties with other young factory girls and had made unsuccessful advances to Mary Phagan. Several surviving family members have said that Frank harassed Mary Phagan and that she went home and told her mother several former National Pencil Company employees have also alleged that they heard Frank sexually harass Mary Phagan.

The state argued that Frank was alone in the office, gave Mary Phagan her pay envelope, then followed Mary to the medal room and made sexual overtures to her. He then strangled her and gave Conley $2.50 and then $200, but later had Conley return the money. Hooper singled out the expected testimony of Monteen Stover, who he claimed would contradict Frank's contention that he had been in his office continuously from 12:00 p.m. Mrs. J. W. Coleman, the mother of Mary Phagan, testified that she last saw her daughter alive on April 26, 1913. A court officer drew forth a suitcase and lifted out the dress and shoes that Mary Phagan had worn when she last saw her.

Fanny Phagan Coleman identified the clothing of her murdered daughter by covering her eyes with a palm fan and sobbing. At that time, few women attended court trials except for those related to the victim or the defendant. Fanny Phagan Coleman and Ali May Phagan attended the trial, as well as Lucille Selig Frank, Frank's wife, and Mrs. Ray Frank, his mother. When asked for her thoughts by a reporter for the Atlanta Journal, Fanny Phagan Coleman said she would rather not talk about it. This silence caused the rest of the Phagan family not to speak of the trial for the next 70 years.

Hurt, testified that the head wound was induced by a blunt edged instrument and occurred before death.

Dr. H. F. Harris, the medical examiner, stated that Mary Phagan's vagina showed evidence of violence before death due to internal bleeding and the epithelium was pulled loose from the inner walls and detached in some places.

The most important details in this text are that the focus of Southern society was tradition, which meant opposition to change, and the esteem in which white women and young white girls were held. This tradition was manifested in a loyalty on the part of Southerners to their own kind, which usually resulted in a paranoid suspicion of outsiders. The industrialization, which began in the last part of the 19th century, centered on the cities, and it was in the rural areas that the commitment to tradition held most strongly.


However, life in rural areas was difficult for most of the poorer people, so they emigrated to urban areas, where the opportunities to make money were far greater. The most important details in this text are the stories of white tenant farmers who came in from the country to find work in the mills and factories in Atlanta. In 1908 or 1909, about a third of Atlanta's population had no water mains or sewers, and between 50 and 75% of the schoolchildren of Atlanta suffered from anemia, malnutrition and heart disease. In 1909, 622 thousand out of a population of 115,000 were held by the police for disorderly conduct or drunkenness, and the newspapers seized upon stories of Negro assaults on white women. Wages were low in the mills and factories, and the normal workday began at 06:00 a.m. and ended at 06:00 p.m. Mary Richards Phagan had earned only $0.10 an hour at the National Pencil Company. Children were exploited, especially in the cotton mills. The most important details in this text are that Leo Frank, a northerner, Jew, superintendent, part owner of the factory and well-to-do, would have fit the idea of the outsider which southerners traditionally held in such suspicion and the exploiter of whom they were growing increasingly resentful. On April 28, 1913, Leo Frank sent a telegram to Adolf Montague in New York, CEO, Imperial Hotel, New York, stating that a factory girl found dead Sunday morning in the cellar of a pencil had been killed by factory police. The narrator's uncle assured him that the company had the case well in hand.

⁣ ⁣On April 20, 1913, the Atlanta Georgian reported that four suspects were being held, including a black knight watchman, a former streetcar conductor, a black elevator boy, and a former employee of the National Pencil Company. Leo Frank, the factory superintendent, was not on the list and was under police guard for his own personal safety. When Newt Lee, the night watchman who discovered the body of little Mary Phagan, was questioned by the police, he stated that he had been at the factory on April 26, 1913 and that when he began working at the Pencil factory, Mr. Frank had told him to report at 06:00 p.m. on weekdays and at 05:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

Frank had plans to go to the baseball game with his brother in law and arrived at the factory at about three or four minutes before four. The narrator was paid off Friday night at 06:00 and was given the keys to the front door at 12:00. On Saturday, the front door was locked and the narrator took their key and unlocked it. When they went upstairs, the narrator had a sack of bananas and stood to the left of the desk. Mr. Frank came out of his office and apologized for having the narrator come so soon.

He told the narrator to go downtown and stay an hour and a half and come back around their usual time at 06:00. The narrator then went out the door and stayed until four minutes to six. When they came back, the doors were unlocked just as they left them, and the narrator went and said, "All right, Mr. Frank, end quote." The most important details in this text are that Mr. Frank took twice as long to fix the slip, and that Mr. Gantt came from across the street from the beer saloon and asked for a pair of old shoes to have fixed. Mr. Frank then ran into Mr. Gantt unexpectedly and asked him to help him find them in the shipping room. Mr. Frank then phoned the narrator an hour after he left, asking how they were doing and saying goodbye.

There is a light on the street floor just after the entrance to the building, and Mr. Frank told the narrator to keep it burning bright so the officers can see in when they pass by. However, the light wasn't burning that day. ⁣The most important details in this text are that the narrator lit a light in the basement at the foot of the ladder at 06:00 on Saturday and left it burning bright. He made his rounds regularly every half hour and punched on the hour and half, and the elevator doors on the street floor and office floor were closed when he got there. At 03:00, the narrator discovered the body there and called the police station. They discovered notes under the sawdust, a hat without ribbons on it, paper and pencils, a shoe near the boiler, and a bloody handkerchief about 10ft further from the body on a sawdust pile. While Dobbs was reading the notes, Lee said "play like a night" which means the night watchman.

Leo Frank was arrested on April 29 and incarcerated in the Fulton Tower. He was found to be extremely nervous and denied knowledge of a little girl named Mary Phagan. Upon arriving at the factory, he consulted his time book and reported that Mary Phagan worked there and she was here yesterday to get her pay. Further questioning revealed that Frank maintained he was inside his office every minute from noon to 1230. On Sunday, Frank advised police that Newt Lee and J.

M. Gantt had been at the factory and that Gantt knew Mary Phagan very well. R. P. Barrett, a machinist, reported that he found blood spots near a machine at the west end of the dressing room on the second floor, and hair was also found on the handle of a bench.

The police also learned that Frank refused to send Mary Phagan's pay home with Helen Ferguson, a friend. The police had also learned that Frank refused to send Mary Phagan's pay home with Helen Ferguson, a friend. The police obtained a statement from Anola McKnight, the black cook in the Frank home, who reported that when Frank came home that Saturday, he was drunk, talked wildly and threatened to kill himself.

Three days later, Mrs. McKnight publicly repudiated her affidavit, claiming that she had signed it to obtain release from the police. The family maintained that Mary Phagan had been violated, and the medical evidence revealed that blood found on her legs and underwear was the result of rape or menstrual blood was undisputable evidence of rape. X rays of her body had apparently shown teeth indentations on her neck and shoulder, and where were the X ray records? The marks made by Leo Frank's teeth were also found.

⁣The most important details in this text are the details of the murder of Mary Phagan. On April 26, 1913, Monteen Stover, a fellow worker at the factory with Mary Phagan, came forward to tell the police that she had come for her pay on April 26, but was unable to collect it because Frank was absent from his office. On April 30, 1913, a coroner's inquest began and Leo Frank repeated his story concerning his whereabouts on April 26. On May 8, 1913, the jury returned a verdict of murder at the hands of a person or persons unknown. Some who have studied the case believe that Leo Frank, rather than Newt Lee, was responsible for the murder.

The Mary Phagan case suggests that many people in Atlanta, including the police and Fulton County solicitor General Hugh Dorsey, demanded Leo Frank's indictment and conviction due to his status as an outsider. Jim Conley, a semiliterate poor friendless negro with a chain gang record, was seen washing a shirt at a faucet in the factory, causing an anonymous informer to suggest there could have been blood on the shirt. He gave four affidavits, the last of which helped convict Leo Frank. Some writers, such as Harry Golden, feel that many Atlantans were grossly antisemitic and accused Frank of the murder because he was Jewish. Luther Otterbine Bricker, who was the pastor of the first Christian Church in Bellwood where Mary Phagan went to Bible school, described the high feelings which ran through Atlanta regarding the murder of little Mary Phagan in a letter to a friend dated May 26, 1942, which he allowed to be published in 1943.

The newspapers were filled with stories, affidavits and testimonies that proved the guilt of Leo M. Frank beyond the shadow of a doubt. The police got prostitutes and criminals on whom they had something to swear to, and the general public was in a frenzy. Frank was brought to trial in mob spirit, and the jury did exactly as the juror wanted it to. It has been said that solicitor general Hugh Dorsey had strong feelings about Frank's guilt, and through the years there has been much speculation on what brought about Dorsey's certainty that Frank was guilty. In a 1948 study of the Mary Phagan Leo Frank case, Henry L. Bowden reported a conversation with Hugh Dorsey that shed light on the prosecutor's feelings about Leo Frank.

Dorsey reportedly told Bowden that someone had planted a bloody shirt in a well on the property where Newtley lived and that as he and several of the force, including Boots Rogers, the local detective, were riding out to the property to check on the shirt, Dorsey was suspicious of Frank. Dorsey arranged for all the detectives and operatives on the case to report to him directly rather than to the police force, and that defense counsel were kept in complete ignorance as to what Dorsey's evidence consisted of. Dorsey sought Frank's indictment for the following reasons: Frank had sent Newt Lee away at 04:00 p.m. and then called the factory at 07:00 p.m., which Lee claimed Frank had never done before.

⁣The most important details in this text are that Leo Frank had not answered Newt, Lee's or Captain Starne's telephone calls, had not wanted to come to the factory, and had accused J.M. Gantt of being intimate with Mary Phagan. The police officers who had taken Frank to the mortuary recalled his extreme nervousness and the fact that Frank had inquired about their finding Mary Phagan's pay envelope. At the inquest, J.W. Coleman stated that Mary often said things went on at the factory that were not nice and that some of the people there tried to get fresh.

Additionally, Dorsey felt that Frank's Cook manola McKnight's first statement was true. Miss Lucille said to Mrs. Selig that Mr. Frank didn't rest so good Saturday night and that he told her Saturday night that he was in trouble and that he didn't know the reason why he would murder and he told her to get his pistol and let him kill himself. Miss Lucille didn't know why Mrs. Frank didn't come to see her husband, but it was a good The affidavit of Montane Stover following the coroner's verdict added credence to Dorsey's suspicions that Leo Frank was the murderer. The jury also pointed to their theory that the murder took place on an upper floor of the factory and that the body was taken to the basement with the intention of burning it. Dorsey had indictment forms drawn up for both Leo Frank and Newtley on May 24, but after the last testimony was heard, he asked for a true bill against Frank. The jury complied and returned an indictment charging Leo Frank with first degree murder.

⁣The most important details in this chapter are that the narrator is Mary Phagan-Kean, a great niece of William Jackson Phagan and Angelina O'Shields Phagan. At age 15, the narrator is certain of one thing their life will be shaped by their relationship to little Mary Phagan. They go to Atlanta's archives to discover more about the family, including the trial of Leo Frank and the lynching. The narrator's great great grandparents, William Jackson Phagan and Angelina O'Shields Phagan, made their home in Akworth, Georgia, and their children included William Joshua Haney McMillan, Charles Joseph Ruben Egbert, john Marshall, george Nelson, lizzie Marietta, john Harvell, maddie Louise, billy Arthur and Dora Roth. The eldest son, William Joshua, loves the land and farmed with his father, and on December 20, 791, he married Fanny Benton.

The Reverend J. D. Fuller presided over the Holy Bands of Matrimony for William and Fanny Joshua in Cobb County, Georgia. William and Fanny became successful farmers and moved to Florence, Alabama in 1895. In February of 1899, William Joshua Phagan died of measles and Fanny was left with their four young children. On June 1, Mary Anne Phagan was born to Fanny in Florence, Alabama. Fanny moved her family back home to Georgia where she planned to live with her widowed mother, Mrs. Nanny Benton, and her brother, Rel Benton.

Fanny figured there would be more opportunities in a densely populated area. Southern society was changing rapidly and the younger generation did not know the high feelings of the War between the States and the Reconstruction. WJ Phagan moved his family back to Georgia after the death of his eldest son in 1907. He purchased a log home and land on Powder Springs Road in Marietta and provided Fanny with a home for her and her five children to live in. After 1910, Fannie and four of her five children moved to East Point, Atlanta, Georgia, where she started a boarding house and the children found jobs in the mill.

Charlie Joseph, the middle child, decided to continue farming and moved in with his Uncle Ruben on Powder Springs Road in Marietta. Mary found work at the National Pencil Company in Atlanta. The Phagan family remained close with relatives in Marietta, where they played games such as hide and seek, hopscotch, dolls and house. Mary's favorite game was house, where the girls would clear a clean spot in the shade, place rocks in it for chairs, and decorate the inside of the house using limbs from trees or other big branches already on the ground.

⁣The most important aspect are the stories of Fanny and her children. Fanny married J. W. Coleman, a cabinet maker, and they moved to JW's house at 146 Lindsay Street in Atlanta, near Bellwood, a white working class neighborhood. After marrying, Fanny requested that Mary quit work at the pencil company and continue her education, but Mary liked her work at the factory and didn't want to quit. Benjamin Franklin joined the Navy, Ollie became a sales lady for Rich's department store, and William Joshua, Jr. continued to work in the mills.

The most important details in this audiobook are the conditions of life in Atlanta in 1913. There were no paved roads in Marietta and Cobb County, including the square in Marietta, and people used wagons and carriages to travel the 25 miles to Atlanta. Telephone service had come in 25 years earlier, and water and electric had only been available for five years. Cobb was considered an agricultural county and had practically no industries. Justice, law and order were also vastly different. After the War Between the States, night riders and lynchings led to night riders and lynchings. Atlanta in 1913 still hadn't reached a half million in population, but it had grown significantly since 1865.

There was light industry, including the National Pencil Company at 37 39 Foresight Street, and mills were the most numerous and a few breweries. Life in 1913 was casual and slow, and people got most of their news from local newspapers. Sanitary conditions were terrible, and sanitation workers were called honey dippers. Typhoid fever was all over the place, and boys wore knee pants until they completed grammar school. The South had not recovered from the ravages of the War Between the States and Georgia, and the economy was shifting from the land to industry.

Mary Phagan was a beautiful little girl with a fair complexion, blue eyes and dimples. She was Grandmother Fanny's youngest child and had a bubbly personality and was the life of their home. She was juvial, happy and thoughtful towards others. The last Vegan family gathering was a welcome home for Uncle Charlie, and Mary's cousin Lily envied her a particular dress she had on. Early in April, Mary was rehearsing for a play she was in at the First Christian Church.

⁣Mary was a member of the Adrial class of the first Christian Bible school and wanted to look her best for the contest given by the school. On Confederate Memorial Day, she planned to go up to the National Pencil Company to pick up her pay and then watch the parade. She was excited about the holiday and wore her special lavender dress, lace trimmed, which her Aunt Lizzie had made for her. She wore a corset with hose supporters, corset, cover, knit underwear, an undershirt drawers, a pair of silk garters and a pair of hose. She wore a pair of low heeled shoes and carried a silver mesh bag made of German silver, a handkerchief and a new parasol.

When Mary had not returned home at dusk, her great grandmother began to worry and her husband went downtown to search for her. He thought perhaps she had used her pay to see the show at the Bijou Theater, but found no sign of her. He returned home and suggested that Mary must have gone to Marietta to visit her grandfather, W. J.

Mary had been found murdered in the basement of the National Pencil Company, a four story granite building plus basement, located at 37 39 Forsyth Street. Her body was discovered at 03:00 in the morning on April 27, with her left eye struck with a fist, an inch and a half gash in the back of the head, and strangled by a cord embedded in her neck. Her undergarments were torn and bloody, and her body had been dragged across the basement floor. There were fragments of soot, ashes and pencil shavings on the body, and drag marks leading from the elevator shaft. There were no skin fragments or blood under her fingernails which indicated she hadn't inflicted any harm on whoever did it. Two scribbled notes were found near her body, on company carbon paper.

Ther was a photostatic copy of two nearly illiterate notes written by a long, tall black Negro. The notes were written while the child was playing with him and he promised to love her and land dune play like Night Witch did. The father sat silently while the child read the notes and when they went up to tell William Jackson Phagan, the father remembered it word for word. The living God will see to it that the brute is found and punished according to his sin. The father hopes that the murderer will be dealt with as he dealt with the innocent child and that he suffers anguish and remorse in the same measure as she suffered pain and shame.

The funeral service of Little Mary Phagan, the innocent young victim, was one of Atlanta's blackest and most beastial crimes. The pallbearers carried the casket into the Second Baptist Church, a tiny country church, where every seat had been taken and hundreds were standing outside to hear the sermon. Mary Phagan cried and her soul was as pure and as white as her body, and the whole church wept. Before the completion of the hymn, the Reverend T-T-G called for divine justice.

⁣Mary Phagan was the innocent young victim of one of Atlanta's blackest and most beastial crimes. Her body was carried into the Second Baptist Church, a tiny country church, where hundreds were standing outside to hear the sermon. The choir sang Rock of Ages, but Grandmother Fanny cried as if her heart would break. The Reverend T-T-G. Lincus, pastor of Christian Church at East Point, prayed with those at the Second Baptist Church. The speaker thanked God for teaching Mary to fear God and love Him, and prayed for the police and detectives of the city of Atlanta to perform their duty and bring the wretch that committed the act to justice.

They also prayed for the authorities to apprehend the guilty party or parties and punish them to the full extent of the law. The speaker believed in the law of forgiveness, yet did not see how it could be applied in this case. The most important details in this text are the words of Dr. Lincus to the family of Mary Phagan Coleman, who was killed by a heartless wretch. Dr. Lincus warns the family not to watch their children too closely, as Mary's purity and the hope of the world above the sky is the only consolation they can offer. After the funeral service, the crowd viewed the body of Mary with a mutilated and bruised face.

Dr. Lincus helped Mary's sister Ollie and her brother Ben, now a sailor on the United States ship Franklin, while the smaller brothers, Charlie and Joshua, brought up the rear. The funeral service went on, with the words "Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust." However, no words expressed by Dr. Lincus could heal the wounds in their hearts. As the first shovel of earth was thrown down into the grave, Fanny Phagan Coleman broke down completely and wailed. Mary was taken away when the spring was coming. She loved the spring and played with it.

She took the preacher's handkerchief and walked to the edge of the grave and waved it. Her father stopped and asked her questions about the trial of Leo Frank and its aftermath. She felt guilty for the upset and the memories he drew up on her behalf had already caused him. He blinked back the tears and his smile was tremulous. A few days later, they sat down again and Mary asked her questions about how Grandmother Fanny stood up while the trial was going on.

Mary Phagan was last seen alive on the 26 April 1913, about a quarter to twelve, at home at 146 Lindsay Street. She was fair, complexed, heavyset, very pretty and was extra large for her age. When Sergeant Dobbs described the condition of Mary's body when they found her in the basement, he stated that she had been dragged across the floor, face down, that was full of coal cinders and this caused the punctures and holes in her face. Grandmother Fanny had to leave the courtroom, and now it was Mary's mother who had to compose herself.


⁣The most important details in this text are that the funeral director WH. Geesling testified that he moved little Mary's body at 04:00 in the morning on April 27, 1913. He stated that the cord she had been strangled with was still around her neck and there was an impression of about an 8th of an inch on the neck and her tongue stuck an inch and a quarter out of her mouth. Leo Frank's religious faith had nothing to do with his trial, and his religious faith had nothing to do with his religious faith. The courtroom atmosphere was strict and Judge Leonard Rohn maintained strict discipline.

The newspapers gave a daily detailed report on the court proceedings and there were many extras printed each day. Judge Rohn was considered by all to be more than fair and the Atlanta Bar held him in high esteem for his ability in criminal law. Leo Frank's lawyers were the best money could buy. The most important details in this text are that Leo Frank was a Northerner and a capitalist, who had two of the best criminal lawyers in the south, Luther Rosser and Ruben Arnold. His defense was not good enough to offset Hugh Dorsey's tactics, and he was later rewarded with the biggest prize in state politics.

Leo Frank was born in Texas, but moved to Brooklyn, New York and was a graduate of Cornell University. He was a capitalist, but it meant a lifestyle that few people could maintain and bred resentment. His father explained that sexual perversion was something society did not accept as normal today, and that anyone who dared to make that charge had better have been prepared to die for it. Governor Slayton commuted Leo Frank's sentence, and the family still asks why he did so. The family does not accept Governor Slayton's explanation in his order, but he did just that with the commutation order.

The most important details in this text are that Governor Slayton was a member of the law firm that defended Leo Frank, and that the Vigilante group traveled by car model T Ford's and removed Frank from prison. They called themselves the Knights of Mary Phagan and this group later became the impetus for the modern Ku Klux Klan. The Vigilante group traveled by car model T Ford's and removed Frank from prison, but they stopped in a grove not far from where Little Mary was buried. They carried out his original sentence to be hung by the neck until dead, but not one man was charged with the death of Leo Frank and not one man was ever brought to trial.

⁣The most important details in this text are related to the lynching of Little Mary Phagan in 1915. Jim Conley's testimony helped to convict Leo Frank for the murder of Little Mary Phagan, and circumstantial evidence and Jim Conley's testimony caused Leo Frank's conviction for the murder of Little Mary Phagan. Jim's grandfather told him that he had met with Jim Conley in 1934 to discuss the trial and the part Conley had played in helping Leo Frank dispose of the body of Little Mary. Jim said that he watched for Mr. Frank like before and then he stomped and whistled, which meant for him to unlock the door. He then went up the steps and Mr. Frank looked funny and told him that he wanted to be with the little girl, but she refused, and he struck her and she fell.

When Jim saw her, she was dead. Jim Conley, a black man, was asked by his grandfather why he helped Mr. Frank because he was white and his boss. Jim answered that he was afraid if he didn't do what he was told that he might get hanged, as it was common for blacks to be hanged. After seeing that Little Mary was dead, Jim Conley helped Mr. Frank by rolling her in a cloth and putting her on his shoulder. He then went to the elevator to the basement and rolled her out on the floor.

Then Mr. Frank went up the ladder, and Jim went on the elevator. The story ends with Jim Conley asking his grandfather if he had told him to burn Little Mary in the furnace. Jim Conley was a black man in Atlanta in 1913 who could read and write, but more importantly, he was not simple. He was a man who would do what any man would do to stay alive, mixing the truth with lies self-consciously knowing that his life was at stake. His father shook his head and gave four different affidavits, telling the story of a man who knew he was walking on a red hot bed of cinders and knew that no matter which way he turned, he would be burned.

The story highlights the importance of understanding and respecting differences between people of different backgrounds. Jim Conley returned to the pencil factory with the Atlanta detectives and showed them how he had found the body of Little Mary in the metal room. He then rolled the body out on the floor and Leo Frank went up the ladder to be on alert for anyone coming into the factory. He then explained why Little Mary was dragged face down across the basement. Jim Conley did know what he was doing, but there were two factors that outweighed his sense of righteousness: fear of the white man and greed for money. This is what he later told his father when they met.

⁣The Phagan family has taken a vow of silence due to Grandmother Fanny's request that everyone not talk to the newspapers. The author's father had asked his father over 20 years ago why the family had taken a vow of silence due to the shadow of Little Mary Phagan and how her legacy had affected his life. One summer morning, the author's father sat down beside him wanting to talk about his grandmother, Little Mary's mother. The author recalls many times waking up in Grandmother Fanny's bed trying to figure out how he got there beside her. Grandfather Coleman had a small country store with a gas pump, and the author was allowed to have anything that he wanted in the treasure house.

J. Grandmother Fanny would describe to the narrator how she would comb Little Mary's hair and put it up in pigtails, and dress her up in her finest clothes to go to church.

Little Mary was beautiful to her parents, and she was going to be a real beauty when she grew up. The narrator's father looked at the narrator intently, as if they had seen it all before. The narrator's father, William Joshua Phagan, Jr., was known to the family as Little Josh and was a good student. By the time the narrator was eleven, they began to ask questions about their aunt, Little Mary. Little Mary had a lively imagination and wanted all the things that any young girl wanted in those days, such as ribbons or a special comb for her hair.

By the time the narrator was eleven, they began to ask questions about their father, William Joshua Phagan, Jr., who was known to the family as Little Josh. The narrator's father broke into a grin and no one ever accused the Phagans of being too tall.

⁣Ollie and Little Mary were only one year apart, and Ollie felt a lot of pride about being the older brother to a sister to whom he was a shining white knight. Grandmother Fanny had everyone put on their best clothes for church on Sundays, and everyone had a hand in helping Little Mary to dress up. When the Phagan family got together, it was like a picnic with all the food and stuff that was on hand to eat. Ollie's father broke into his thoughts before the first day, and everyone would turn to the subject of Little Mary. Grandmother Fanny often told them about the death of her husband, William Joshua Phagan, who had fathered her five children, and then she would talk about J.W. Coleman, whom she married in 1912. This was the man Ollie was to know as his grandfather. The Phagan family lived in the Bellwood subdivision of the Exposition Cotton Mill area, where Little Mary had left home to go to town for her wages and to see the parade. Grandmother would tell her story about the Saturday Confederate Memorial Day when Little Mary left home to go to town for her wages and to see the parade. After the war, Great Uncle Ben was in the Navy and the Phagan family began to drift apart.

People were starting to work as many as six days a week and family gathering was to become a thing of the past. However, the family still spoke about Little Mary and the narrator felt for the first time in their life that they had lost someone that was very real to them. However, there was less time for storytelling and the narrator's curiosity increased since people would still ask questions about Little Mary and there was still Fanny. The most important details in this text are that the narrator's grandmother told them stories about Little Mary Phagan and the hope she had for her. In 1943, when the narrator started junior high school, they were asked if they were kin to Little Mary Phagan.

One kid brought a record with The Ballad of Mary Phagan on it, which Fiddling John Carson had written and recorded. This was the first time the narrator had heard the song on a record. The narrator's grandmother was right about how pretty she was and the hope she had for her. Even today, when the narrator looks at Little Mary's picture, they can see that she would have grown into the beautiful woman that their grandmother expected her to be. The narrator's family had an RCA radio and record player, which they held onto for years until it was lost.

During the war, women had to work in the plants and shipyards, and the narrator's mother went to work at the Bell Bomb plant in Marietta, Georgia. The narrator's sister Annabelle and mother went to work in the shipyards in Portland, Oregon and Marietta, Georgia, and the narrator's mother went to work at the Bell Bomb plant in Marietta, Georgia. The narrator joined the Navy in July 1945 and was sent to boot camp in San Diego, California. By then, books had been written and movies had been made of Little Mary's murder.

⁣⁣Death in the Deep South, a fictional book about the murder and its aftermath, was made into a movie called They Don't Forget. Lena Turner played the part of Little Mary, but the names were changed and the Phagan family remained silent. The narrator was invited to play golf with a group of civilian and naval personnel and was asked questions about Little Mary. Later, when his shipmates on the USS Major De 796 began to ask him questions about Little Mary, the narrator became a storehouse of information on the subject. When the narrator met his mother in Chicago in 1952, it was love at first sight.

He went out of his way to meet all the civilian flight line mechanics at Warner Robbins Air Force Base in Macon. Little Mary had slipped to the back of the narrator's mind over the years. When the flight line mechanics learned the author's name, they began to question the author about Little Mary Phagan. This renewed interest in Little Mary was to play a major role in the life of another little girl who would be born in June of 1954. When the author arrived back at Larson Air Force Base, they were informed that they had been selected to attend flight engineer school at Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul, Illinois.

This break allowed them to learn more about each other and how they would spend the years to come. When the author was transferred back to the past again, the question was asked again about the author's name by other student flight engineers. The author had not told their mother the story of Little Mary, and was transferred back to the past again. The 62nd Military Airlift Wing was redesignated the 62nd Military Airlift Wing on January 8, 1956. It was under a new command, the Military Air Transport Service, which was the best and biggest airlift armada in the world.

Mats, the backbone of deterrence, was the motto and creed of the 62nd Military Airlift Wing, which was flying all over the world in all kinds of trouble spots where there was dire need for airlift. The 62nd Military Airlift Wing had accumulated over 2000 hours of flying in Alaska and was considered to be a cold weather expert. They were now under a new command, the Military Air Transport Service, which was the best and biggest airlift armada in the world.

The narrator's brother Michael was born in September 1959 in Charleston. They all went to Japan and Hawaii and returned to the continental US in 1964.

⁣Mr. Henry, the 8th grade teacher, asked Mary if she was related to Little Mary Phagan. Mary nodded, unable to speak, but her father encouraged her to research and investigate the facts for herself. He told her that the trial record spoke for itself and that for her own peace of mind she would have to interpret the facts herself. Mary's determination to learn all she could about her great aunt intensified, while her aspirations as to a future career became both evident and important to her.

One day, he came out with Little Mary's picture and pointed to the narrator. He sobbed and tried to find the words, but nothing came out. The narrator then decides to ask their father if he could tell why he named them after Little Mary, and he is ready for the question. The narrator had determined from the day their mother and father were married to name their first girl child after their great aunt, Little Mary Phagan.

This was a tribute to their father, who had been born on June 1 and the narrator was born on June 5. As soon as the narrator was big enough, they would take the narrator with them when they were not out flying. When the narrator was about four years old, they bore a striking resemblance to their great aunt, Little Mary, but at that early age, it made no difference or impression on her.

⁣When the narrator was four and a half, their father was assigned to the 16 Eight Military Air Transport Wing in Charleston, South Carolina. When they arrived in Charleston, they were assigned to the 17th Air Transport Squadron.
