DeSantis Twitter Disaster: Bungled Campaign Announcement Riddled With Glitches
Florida governor Ron DeSantis’ campaign launch for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination was overshadowed by multiple glitches, which occurred during the official live broadcast on Twitter.
In a highly unusual move, DeSantis, one of the most popular GOP primary candidates, decided to launch his campaign via Twitter Spaces, a niche audio-broadcast feature on Elon Musk’s platform.
The move backfired, as the DeSantis campaign was launched while being derided online for severe technical issues, which resulted in spontaneous minutes of silence, muffled audio as well as DeSantis himself disappearing from the broadcast.

Watch: Massive Fire Destroys Abandoned Factory In Sydney
A fire broke out at an abandoned hat factory in central Sydney, forcing local residents to evacuate.
Over 120 firefighters combatted the blaze which eventually gutted the building.
No causalities have been reported.
Judge Roan announced at noon on Wednesday that he would reverse his decision and strike Conley's testimony regarding perversion and his prior acts of watching for Frank from the records. After making a motion to have the audience leave the courtroom, Attorney Arnold asked the judge to declare a mistrial after Judge Roan refused to do so. Following Dalton's departure from the stand and Dr. F.H. Harris finished testifying on Thursday morning, the state prosecution took a break. The defense presented their case right away, with Dr. Leroy Childs claiming that many of Dr. Harris' deductions were merely educated guesses. The defense called back Pinkerton detective Harry Scott on Thursday in an effort to prove that Conley had received training before giving his police statements.
Daisy Hopkins refuted Dalton and James Conley's claims that she ever went to the pencil factory with an immoral intent on Friday, the eighth day of the trial. On this day, the defense presented a cardboard replica of the pencil factory, which was used throughout the remainder of the trial to illustrate witness testimony. George Epps' testimony was contested by W.M. Matthews, and W.T. Hollis, the driver and conductor of the vehicle that the girl used to travel into town. Additionally, civil engineer Albert Kaufman introduced blueprints for each floor of the Pencil factory.
Crowds gathered outside the courthouse became louder and more agitated during the fourth week of the trial, heightening tension throughout the city. Leo M. Frank, who was the most composed person directly involved in the case, maintained a constant demeanor and expression. The pressure didn't bother his mother or wife either. In order to console B'nai B'rith President Moses Frank, the defendant's millionaire uncle, Rabbi David Marx of the Atlanta synagogue postponed a trip to Europe. The way the young man's friends stood by him in his hour of need was the most amazing aspect of the entire Frank case. The references to the defendant and the arguments made to the jury that brought about the famous trial's conclusion are the most crucial details in this incident. Four eminent attorneys, including Luther Z. Rosser, made these references. Reuben R. Arnold, and solicitor Dorsey. The four top lawyers argued that Frank was a mental powerhouse with a brain that, when directed in the right direction, was capable of great things. Frank had more intelligence than either of them, according to Luther Z. Rosser, and his account smacked of veracity.
Although the defendant was not perfect, according to criminal Attorney Reuben R. Arnold, he was a moral gentleman. The state has based its case on Conley's statement, and as such, it stands or falls with it. This is one of the text's most crucial details. Hugh M. Dorsey, the solicitor, disagrees with the unprotected, underprivileged, working girls who accuse him of having a bad character. He thinks that the only thing this man has is a reputation, and no other qualities. He merely possesses a reputation; he lacks character. To preserve his reputation, he strangled Mary Phagan; her blood is visible on his hands. Frank A. Hooper asserted that the defendant, like Dr. Jekyll, abandoned his façade of respectability and descended to a lower social level, where he chose to associate with Dalton and people of a similar disposition rather than the men who had come to endow him with a good reputation. The factory was a great place for a man with lust and no morals, and a crime was planned. Attorney Dorsey argued that on the Saturday before the murder, Frank was riding the Hapeville Line with a young girl, and he made several attempts to get her out of the car. One of the factory workers, Miss Emily Mayfield, refuted this testimony, saying she had never witnessed the superintendent act inappropriately toward the female workers.
At noon on Saturday, the second week of the trial came to a close with Herbert Schiff, the assistant in Frank Young's office, testifying. Schiff asserted that it was Frank's habit to prepare the financial statement every Saturday afternoon and that it was impossible for the task to be finished in less time than two to three hours. The most significant information in this text is that Dr. Willis Westmoreland, a former State Board of Health president, and Dr. T.H. Hancock, Doctor J.C. Olmstead and Dr. George Bachman stated that it was only a guess on the part of any doctor to try to determine the time of death based on the state of the food in a corpse's stomach.
On August 11, the defense once more attacked Dr. Harris' testimony, and they called several witnesses who swore they would not believe C.B. Dalton. To connect the time alibi to the stenographer and bookkeeper for Montauk Brothers, Miss Hattie Hall, was contacted. She described how she had met Frank at Montague Brothers the morning of the murder and that he had asked her to come to the factory and steno for him. According to Miss Hall's testimony, she stayed at the factory until two or three minutes after twelve and timed her departure to coincide with the blowing of the 12:00 whistle.
According to Joel Hunter, a highly qualified accountant and mathematician, Frank could not have finished the financial report in much less than 3 hours, and there was additional small-scale work on the office account books that would take him anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours longer. The defense team for the accused superintendent defied the state's request to call witnesses who would cast doubt on his character on Wednesday, the fifteenth day of the trial. His character was outstanding, according to two former Cornell Nell of New York classmates who traveled to Atlanta only to give testimony. Several college professors and Frank's former classmates traveled far south to be by his side during his time of need.
The defense tried to introduce evidence of four men who acted out Conley's story of carrying the body to the basement, but solicitor Dorsey and attorney Hooper vehemently objected. These are the most crucial details in this text. After detailing the other alleged behaviors of Conley and Frank on the day of the murder, Dr. William Owens described how three other men had carried a sack weighing 110 pounds, the same as Mary Phagan's body, into the basement. During cross-examination, Attorney Hooper made an effort to downplay the importance of the experiment and produced a letter he had written to the grand jury in advance of the trial requesting that Conley be charged as an accessory. When John Ashley Jones took the witness stand and spoke about Frank's moral character, the state launched its first assault on the superintendent's reputation.
Dorsey was quickly on his feet and asking one question after another when the witness was handed over for cross examination. In her seat, the defendant's mother, Mrs. Ray Frank, turned to face the attorney. Herbert Haas, a member of the Frank party, and other men led Mrs. Lucille Frank out of the courtroom. For the first time since her husband's trial began, Mrs. Lucille Frank displayed significant emotion, and the accused man's face flushed when the solicitor lobbed his sensational question at the witness. At this point, the courtroom fell silent as the solicitor abruptly concluded his examination and sat down. Mrs. Ray Frank stayed out of the courtroom all afternoon, but she showed up in a car at adjournment and gave her son his customary goodnight kiss.
This attempt by Solicitor Dorsey to have the jury hear the implications of these questions was fiercely resisted by the defense. The strategies employed by Mrs. Leo and Mrs. Ray Frank, according to attorney Arnold, were unfair, unjust, and unethical. But on August 14's first morning, attorney Dorsey requested that Mrs. Leo and Mrs. Ray Frank not be allowed inside the courtroom. When the women agreed to stop interrupting, Judge Roan declined to comply with the request. At ten minutes after 1:00, Ms. Helen Curran of 160 Ashby Street testified that she saw Frank standing in front of a pharmacy. Selig's friends testified that Frank didn't show any signs of anxiety on the evening of Saturday, April 26.
Solicitor Dorsey made an effort during cross-examination to highlight the fact that Frank tried to appear too carefree on this night and to draw attention to himself by laughing so loudly. On Saturday, August 16, Mrs.
Ray Frank took the witness stand in the afternoon and pointed to a letter with the date of April 26 that was supposed to be written by her son. It was addressed to his well-to-do uncle, Moses Frank, who was traveling to Europe and was then currently in New York. The letter included a price list, a report from the factory, and a letter from Lucille to her nephew.
Moses Frank, who was in New York en route to Europe, received the letter. The 100 witnesses who attested to Leo Frank's moral character—the majority of whom were girls working on the fourth floor of the pencil factory—are the most crucial information in this document. Then Mrs. E.H. Carson, one of the initial witnesses, stated that she had never heard any criticism of Frank regarding the factory and that she believed him to be a good person.
When Miss Irene Jackson was called by the defense as a character witness, she stated that Frank had arrived at the door of the girl's dressing room on the factory's second floor and stood there staring at the people inside. Conley was locked up in the county jail when a reporter for the Atlanta Journal, Harley Branch, spoke with him. Branch reported that Conley had denied seeing Lemmie Quinn enter the factory on Saturday, April 26. The witness's involvement with the city detectives was revealed during cross-examination by Attorney Dorsey. To disprove Dr. William Owens' testimony, James Conley performed a pantomime reenactment of the body being hid on the day of the crime. Most of the workers at the factory claimed that Conley had a poor character and that they would not believe him if he gave an oath.
After the court's Friday, August 16, non-adjournment, attorneys made threats. The gathering of the evidence had taken three weeks, and it was still far from over. The trial continued until almost the middle of the fifth week. It had put a tremendous strain on each of the attorneys, who were nearly exhausted. The court met every day at 9:00 and met until 12:30, when it broke for dinner. This took place for one and half hours during the morning. The court resumed at 2:00 in the afternoon, and it wasn't until 6:00 in the evening that the adjournment was made. Luther Rosser had lost 25 pounds and solicitor Dorsey had turned pale and uneasy, so all the lawyers were on high alert. Receiving numerous threatening letters from all over the state added to the difficulty the defense attorneys faced while working. While his brother, attorney Rosser, had two men by his side at all times, Ruben Arnold was followed by a bodyguard of three men. The lawyers for both sides received a deluge of telegrams and letters from all over the country offering counsel and condemnation. One man from Nashville, Tennessee, spent at least $100 sending Mr. Rosser advice and pointers on how to present the defense case.
The most crucial information in this passage is that on Monday afternoon, Frank took the witness stand by himself and delivered the most remarkable statement ever heard in a Georgian criminal courtroom. His testimony was so impressive that many people began to think he was incapable and innocent of the crime being brought against him. Frank started making his statement at five minutes after two in the morning and finished at four. He was twice cut off by Solicitor Dorsey, who objected to the display of items not entered as evidence, and he also took a break to get a drink of water. His voice was just as clear when he was finished as it had been at the beginning of the ordeal. His auditors were rendered speechless by his final phrases. After Frank finished speaking, there was a brief moment of complete silence in the courtroom before Mrs. Leo Frank's sobbing and Attorney Arnold's laconic order broke the silence. With the same confidence and vigor as when he had first walked onto the stand four hours earlier, Frank exited it. Mary Phagan, a young Brooklyn girl, was allegedly murdered by Leo Frank.
The sheriff took him to his quarters in the tower, where he was calm and in full control of his faculties. He mentally performed challenging mathematical operations, gave a brief account of his life, and refuted the claims of Jim Conley, a Black man whose sworn statement has brought him dangerously close to the death penalty. His mother and father only have enough money to get by, he has no wealthy relatives in Brooklyn, and his father is a disabled person. His legal counsel will be compensated by the sale of a portion of his parents' estate because there is no fund set aside for his defense. As part of his circumstantial defense, Frank got up from the witness stand to describe the tasks involved in creating the factory's weekly financial statement. He spoke to the twelve men who have the power to put him to death with the same sincerity as if his life were not on the line.
On April 26, the narrator awoke between 7:00 and 7:30 in the morning, leisurely showered and dressed, ate breakfast, boarded a Washington Street or Georgia Avenue car, and arrived at the factory on Forsyth Street at around 8:30. He went to where he normally found Mr. Holloway, the day watchman, and greeted him there. The office boy, Alonzo Mann, was in the outside office. The narrator opened their desk, took off their hat and coat, and unlocked the safe. Miss Maddie Smith requested the pay envelopes of her sister-in-law and herself from the narrator at 9:15 o'clock.
When Mr. Schiff gave them the package of envelopes the previous evening, the narrator went to the safe, unlocked it, and took the contents out. The remaining envelopes were positioned in their cash box. About 9:35 or 9:40, Mr. Darley and the narrator left for Montague's. En route, they stopped at the intersection of Hunter and Forsyth streets for drinks at Crookshank's Soda Water Fountain, where the narrator also purchased a pack of his preferred cigarettes.
The narrator and Frank shared a drink and talked for a while. They then went to Montague Brothers, where they spoke with Mr. Sig Montague, the company's general manager, and Miss Hattie Hall, the pencil company's stenographer. Miss Hattie Hall, Mrs. Arthur White, and the office boy were waiting for them when they returned to Forsyth Street alone. The elevator motor then began to run, and the carpenter's shop circular saw also began to operate. Upon entering, Mrs. Emma Clark Freeman and Miss Corinthia Hall requested permission to go upstairs and retrieve Mrs. Freeman's coat.
Two men entered, one of whom was Mr. Graham and the other was Earl Burdett's father. The two boys had gotten into some sort of trouble the day before during the noon break, and they had been taken to police headquarters, which is a very crucial piece of information in this passage. The narrator spoke with the two fathers while handing them the necessary pay envelopes and asking them about the mischief their sons had gotten into. Mrs. Emma Clark Freeman entered the narrator's office and requested permission to use the phone just before they left. The narrator called for Miss Hattie Hall and told him what mail to deliver.
She left the office and came back when the 12:00 whistle sounded. Frank went into great detail about the pencil factory method of recording orders. Mary Phagan, a young child, asked the narrator for her pay envelope after Miss Hall had left the office. Despite not knowing her name, the narrator recognized her from seeing her around the plant. She had reportedly worked in the metal department before being let go because some metal hadn't arrived at the factory.
The plant's foreman, Lemmie Quinn, entered and inquired about the whereabouts of Mr. Schiff. After completing their work and requisitions, the narrator looked at their watch at quarter past one and continued working. When they dialed their number, Minola answered and said they would have lunch right away. The narrator then collected their papers and went upstairs to visit the boys who were on the top floor. It was 12:35, according to Mrs. Arthur White, when she passed by and noticed the narrator.
The narrator is unaware of what happened. The narrator saw Arthur White, Harry Denham, and Mr. White's wife when they arrived upstairs, which is one of the most crucial details in the document. When the narrator asked if they were prepared to leave, they replied that they had set up some work. The narrator then went downstairs, gathered their papers, locked their desk, washed their hands, put on their hat and coat, and locked both the inner door to their office and the doors leading to the streets. When the whistle for 12:00 blew, the narrator remained in the inner office until after quarter past one, when they spoke to Arthur White and Harry Denham. The narrator might have gone to the restroom in response to a natural urge (i.e. nature's calling).
The defense witness' testimony that she was unaware of any wrongdoing by the defendant and that she had never engaged in any such behavior with him drew objections from attorney Rosser. Attorney Dorsey argued in response that the testimony was given in rebuttal to James Conley's testimony and that it would not be admissible if the witness attempted to prove a separate crime. The defense's witness testified that she was unaware of any wrongdoing on the part of the defendant and that she had never engaged in any wrongdoing with him before the jury was dismissed. Attorney Rosser objected to her testimony. Attorney Dorsey argued in response that the testimony was given in rebuttal to James Conley's testimony and that it would not be admissible if the witness attempted to prove a separate crime. It was decided by attorney Rosser that the defense witness must first return to the witness stand for cross-examination.
This was based on his assertion that a defense witness had testified about actions taken in Frank's office.
Ms. Griffin then asked the witness if she was familiar with Leo M. Frank's general demeanor toward women.
When the solicitor asked questions, Miss Myrtice Cato responded that she was aware of Frank's general demeanor and that it was undesirable. In response to the solicitor's queries, Mrs. R.M. Donegan stated that she was familiar with Frank's personality in general and that it was negative. In 1910, Mrs. H.J. Johnson of Stonewall, Georgia, who was contacted, claimed to have spent two months working at the pencil factory.
She claimed that Frank had a poor reputation in general and that she didn't know a lot about his relationships with women. The court ruled that the solicitor was not permitted to ask any more questions, and a large number of women quickly followed. One of the women was prepared to give a deposition claiming that Frank had made an inappropriate proposal to her in his private office and that she had used a monkey wrench before leaving the space. Miss Dewey Hewell was brought to Atlanta from the good shepherd's house in Cincinnati to give a testimony about Frank's acquaintance with Mary Phagan and her conversation with him. She witnessed him call her Mary, put his hand on her shoulder, and stand where he did when speaking to her.
On August 20, both parties were placed under arrest as Leo M. Frank's trial for killing Mary Phagan got under way. The State's rebuttal was completed shortly after the noon break. The introduction of sub rebuttal evidence took less than an hour. Pawn broker Nathan Sinkovitz swore M.E. McCoy had pawned his watch with him in January, and he had kept it until August. Others disputed the streetcar men's claims that Mary had not been accompanied by young George Epps when she arrived in town on the fateful day.
Frank A. Hooper, an attorney, began the state's case for Frank's conviction with an eloquent speech full of word pictures, occasionally sarcastic, occasionally pitiful, occasionally humorous, but always dramatic. He began a series of days of oratory unmatched in Georgian history.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Hooper informed the jury that the State gladly accepted the burden of proving the defendant's guilt and that the State was not seeking a guilty verdict unless the defendant was guilty. He characterized the defendant as a man who was friendly with two very dissimilar groups of associates, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He compared Jim Conley to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a man who got along with two very different groups of friends. The most dramatic part of his speech came when he said, "Give the defendant the benefit of the doubt. The circumstances show that he either killed this little girl or sat there in his office and let the negro kill her, drag her body down the hall to the elevator, and take it down to the basement.".
While Monteen Stover was in Frank's office, this murder took place in the metal room. Attorney Mr. Hooper made the point to the jury that even though Frank had sworn he didn't leave his office between noon and midnight, the Stover girl had gone there during that time. Hooper made fewer arguments in the Frank trial than any of the attorneys who came after him. Luther Rosser took exactly the same amount of time to argue as Attorney Arnold, who took his place on the floor. In one of his longest prosecution speeches in a criminal case in the South, Solicitor Dorsey spoke for between eleven and twelve hours. The gestures of a master actor could not have been more dramatic as attorney Arnold spoke slowly, carefully selecting his words, and pausing for emphasis. His eloquence had the power to capture and hold the interest of both the jury and the audience.
He began by visualizing the jury as previously stated, sequestered, guarded, reading no papers, and hearing nothing of the public discussion of the trial in order to reach a verdict free from bias or prejudice. Then he castigated the loud-mouthed, long-tongued cretins who assume a man is guilty the instant someone points a finger of suspicion in his direction. The speaker claimed that if Frank had not been a Jew, he would not have been charged, and he criticized those who would punish the defendant "for no other reason than that he is a Jew.". He expressed respect for the jury by stating that they were far above average. He claimed that if he hadn't been a Jew, he never would have been charged, and that Negro Conley had been called to testify in court.
He pleaded with his kind to treat this man fairly before treating a Jew unfairly. In addition, he pointed out that some of the evidence in the case was prodded rather than corroborated, and that there was a particular class that was always prepared to provide evidence. The State's theory surrounding Mary Phagan's murder, according to Arnold, is illogical and ridiculous. Reuben Arnold also exposed his racism and prejudice as a White Jew against African-Americans ("Negros"). He argued that Mary Phagan's murder was brutal and typical of a Negro and that Conley had a much better chance of killing the girl than Frank did. His hypothesis was that Conley was half-intoxicated on that Saturday morning, his passions were heightened, and he was enviously eyeing every girl and woman who passed.
Conley grabbed Mary Phagan's mesh bag as she descended the stairs and struck her over the left eye, knocking her to the ground. Once Frank had left, he waited outside the factory before dropping her body through the elevator shaft, finishing his brutal work in the basement.
Attorney Arnold established the rule that, before a man can be found guilty based solely on circumstantial evidence, the evidence must be so strong as to rule out all other reasonable hypotheses besides the accused's guilt. Mary Phagan's murder can be explained just as easily, if not more easily, on the theory that Conley did it than on the theory that Frank did it, Attorney Arnold had to persuade the jury of this. Frank was the only man in the factory and had a chance to do it, so suspicion was focused on him. On the fourth floor were Mrs. White, Denham, and Arthur White. Before Frank was taken into custody, no one knew anyone was in the factory's most convenient location for crime—down by the elevator hole and/or shaft.
Mr. Starnes may believe he is pursuing justice and the truth, but he doesn't really believe this. Evidence obtained through third-degree torture, persecutory methods, or other means is dangerous evidence.
The fact that they told him he couldn't swear to that allowed Conley to create an entire narrative. The most significant information in this text is that a Negroes mock their bosses and try to learn their expressions, and that he made up a story to protect himself. Anyone who has spent any time around a courthouse is aware of this. He was aware that they were attempting to indict Frank and that they were trying to build a case against him.
The solicitor general promised to pursue the case against Frank as far as the court will allow him, which gave the detectives cause for concern that they would face criticism if they did not. The solicitor general promised to take the case against Frank as far as the court will allow him, which made the detectives fearful of criticism if they did not pursue it further. Since the solicitor general promised to take the case against Frank as far as the court will allow it, the detectives were worried they would come under fire if they did not pursue it further. The most crucial information in this passage is that Dalton had visited the factory between 1:00 and 2:00, while Frank was eating lunch. This man does not know where Dalton went inside the building; he only saw him enter through the front door.
The recording also mentions that the factory has nothing objectionable and that both the Clark Woodenware Company and the Pencil factory entered through the same door. It also mentions that the factory was under the watchful eyes of Starnes, Black, and Pat Campbell, who dared not take the witness stand for fear of being questioned about how he obtained those statements from Conley. The turmoil that has recently occurred in Atlanta is covered in the audiobook. A vice squad has been organized by Beavers to look for wrongdoers in the city, and a new decalogue has been written. Dorsey's friend Hooper asserted that while Schiff and Darley were morally repugnant, there was no evidence of Schiff's guilt or wrongdoing.
The trial's most noteworthy statement came from Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey. After Attorney Rosser closed on Friday afternoon, he spoke for more than 11 hours on the floor over the course of three different days. He picked up his argument on Monday morning and continued until noon to finish his speech.
Fear of returning a verdict on Saturday night was the main driver of the protracted adjournment. Dorsey thoroughly and faithfully covered every aspect of the case, and his arraignment of Frank was likely the harshest ever directed at a defendant in a murder trial in the history of the entire nation.
He was greeted with applause, and the vast majority of people praised his demeanor and his admirable efforts to ensure the conviction of the young factory superintendent. "This is not just a significant case; it's also an extraordinary case. The crime was extraordinary, horrible, heinous, and committed by a demon. The investigation into the crime required the detectives' and my own vigilance, sincerity, and diligence. The four Messers Arnold and Rosser and the two Messers Haas who have argued the case are the most crucial details in this text because of their standing and significance. Mr. Rosser, who rides the wind and stirs the storm, and Mr. Arnold, who is as mild-mannered as any man who has ever cut someone's throat or scuttled a ship, have acted extraordinarily and have defamed and abused the defendant. The detectives have attacked the defendant in such a way that the defendant's good mother stood up and called the defendant a dog in front of everyone. While Mr. Dorsey doesn't need the defendant's approval, he would doubt his own honesty if he did. Mr. Arnold thinks the detectives should have been outraged because they were motivated by prejudice.
When Mr. Dorsey inquires about the detectives' motivations, Mr. Arnold responds that they were paid to act the part. The case wasn't based on the defendant being a Jew, and the first time bias entered the case, it was brought in by two men who were happy to ask Kenley those questions, according to the text's most crucial details. The speaker contends that the defendant's ancestors were civilized at a time when ours were still eating human flesh and that the defendant's race is just as superior to ours. He respects the race that gave birth to Israeli, J.P. Benjamin, Strauss, the diplomat for Strauss, and Rabbi Marks. Becker sought men of Rosenthal's racial background when he wanted to execute Rosenthal. In New York and San Francisco, Abe Roof and Abe Hummel perished, and Schwartz was sentenced to prison for stabbing a young girl. The defendant has a poor character, and David in the past was a great man until he forced old Uriah to lead a decisive battle so he could steal his wife, according to this audiobook. Before betraying his country, Benedict Arnold was a brave man who had the respect of everyone and the leaders of the Revolutionary War. Irish knight Oscar Wilde had a good reputation up until he was found guilty. Although Abe Roof of San Francisco had a good reputation in the past, he corrupted Smith and everyone else he came into contact with. If you have a case that is supported by the evidence, good character is worthless.
The examples of crime committed by intelligent men are the most crucial information in the document. The mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia, McEwen, shot his wife while she was in the bathtub, and a jury of honorable Virginians sentenced him to life in prison. A preacher in Boston who enjoyed the trust of his followers, Richardson became involved with another young woman and wanted to get rid of her, but he lost himself to the point of murder. Henry Clay Beatty, a renowned family man, demonstrated his moral character by taking his wife for a drive and then killing her in cold blood. The detectives in that case were denigrated and abused, but a jury of Virginia farmers sentenced him to death and raised the citizens of that vast commonwealth to a higher plain.
Beatty never admitted to the crime, but he did leave a note that could be read after his death and in which he admitted to the charge. High-ranking English physician Crippen murdered his wife because he was obsessed with another woman. Jim Conley has not been impeached, but his general character has not been tarnished by anything other than the National Pencil Factory's hired mouthpieces. His relationships with Miss Rebecca Carson, Miss Jackson, Miss Kitchens, Darley and Miss Maddie Smith as to what they did on April 26 are all upheld by the failure to question these crazed fanatics, Miss Jackson's account of how he went to the dressing room, Miss Kitchens' account of how he went to the dressing room, Darley and Miss Maddie Smith's account of what they did on April 26, and Miss Jackson's account of how he went to the dressing room.
Jim Conley, a black man who works at a pencil factory, is charged with murder. He is accused of stealing sacks from the pencil factory, going into the medal room with a poor girl, hearing footsteps of two people walking away, seeing the blood on the second floor, hearing Holloway and Boots Rogers testify, seeing the blood on the second floor, seeing the noose in the cord, seeing the notes alone, seeing the blood on the second floor, and hearing footsteps of two people walking away. Additionally, it is noted that Arthur White took out a $2 loan in the afternoon, but there is no entry to support Frank's contribution to that loan. Frank also defended Conley when he mentioned that he had relatives in Brooklyn and when Mr. Rosser inquired about Mincey.
The arguments made by the jurors during the defendant, Mincey's trial, are the most crucial details in this text. The jury finds Mincey guilty of killing Mary Phagan, a young girl who died honorably and without leaving a mark. Mincey strangled Mary and killed her. The jury also holds the opinion that the defendant is guilty by virtue of every act committed by him, and that every circumstance implicates him in the murder of the young girl.
The jury is of the opinion that the defendant's mesh bag vanished in the same manner as the stick on the first floor and the bloody shirt at Newt Lee's residence. The jury also found that Mrs. Ray Frank and Mrs.
Lucille Frank, the defendant's mother and wife, both had their hands over their eyes and appeared to be affected.
The jury finally comes to the conclusion that Mincey killed Mary Phagan and that there can be only one verdict. With each intonation of "guilty, guilty," the gong on the Catholic Church, which is located a block from the courthouse, chimed, culpable, and the bell rang. Judge Roan started reading his charge right away and finished at 12:47 p.m. The protracted trial was almost over, and the jury's decision was the last thing that was needed.
There was open discussion of racial disparities and threats of violence in the event of acquittal. At 12:47 p.m., Judge Roan concluded his remarks and informed the talesmen that they alone would determine the admissibility of the evidence and the credibility of the witnesses. Before midnight, the jury was led across the street to Cafe for dinner before being led back into the courtroom. When attorney Dorsey left the building ten minutes later to cross the street to his office, the crowd picked him up and carried him. They heard cheers for Dorsey.
The jury's twelve male members were given a room on the fourth floor of the courthouse. Deputy Sheriff Plenty Minor was informed that a decision had been made by jury foreman Windburn shortly after three o'clock. Judge Roan was called from his home and called again for the second ballot, along with attorney Dorsey. In order to stop a potential outbreak, the defendant had waved his presence and stayed in his cell at the tower. The moment the jury members sat down in the individual boxes they were wearing, silence descended upon the courtroom.
The solemn gesture that was interpreted could only have one meaning. Judge Roan addressed the jury in a formal manner, asking, "Gentlemen, have you reached a verdict?". Foreman Windburn answered, "We have.".
The court commanded, "Read it.". The jury's verdict, which stated, "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty," was held in the foreman's hand as he got up from his seat. That was the final conclusion of "The Leo Frank Case".
James Conley, a black janitor at the National Pencil Factory, was arrested while the coroner's investigation was still underway. E.F.'s timekeeper. At the factory, Holloway sees Conley washing shirts and calls the detectives. Conley had partially dried his shirt when police arrived, but the clothing on his back was still damp. Conley was also seen washing Mary Phagan's blood off his shirt, a natural black stain.
One day, Detective Harry Scott stopped by Jim's cell and asked him to write some sentences. Investigators were looking for handwritten hints. A key detail in the document is that Jim Conley had a bad reputation, fell into police hands multiple times, and was working on the street in front of the factory behind the town fence on Saturday when the tragedy occurred. is. On May 23, Conley admitted in third degree court that he lied about his inability to write, but he swore he knew nothing about the crime. He gave the police a copy of his handwriting, but they were amazed at the similarity to what was written on the dead girl's body.
About 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, Conley called Detective John Black. An important detail in this document is that Jim Conley was accused of writing a memo to Mr. Frank and did so because Mr. Frank had directed him to do so. On Friday night, Mr. Frank visits Jim and sends a note to his mother in Brooklyn, telling him he will give her the job. Black then calls Harry Scott to write down and sign Black's affidavit. A grand jury is in session over the indictment of Frank Scott, and Black wants to pursue the charges by bringing Jim Conley to the grand jury and allowing the grand jury to hear him out. rice field.
Dorsey, however, refused to bring him to the witness stand, believing that without the black man there would be sufficient evidence to support Frank's accusation. Dorsey felt he could prosecute Frank without mentioning blacks, but within hours it was clear he was right. That afternoon Dorsey had a lengthy meeting with blacks and detectives, and a stenographic report was drawn up of the conversation. Detectives point to Frank's intentions behind it, but Conley sticks to his story. He repeatedly swore to tell the whole truth, but then detectives thought he would never change his story.
In the first state and county affidavit, James Conley, who took the oath, said about four minutes before 1 a.m. Friday night before the holiday: At 12:00 a.m., Mr. Frank came down the aisle and asked me to come to the office. He walked into his office and asked if he could write a little. The statement of facts are about a black black man who was given a notepad and asked to write on it. When he entered the office, he was asked if he smoked, and he brought one. You then ask where Gordon Bailey Snowball is and he replies that he is in the elevator. He then asked if he knew the night watchman and said he had never seen him in the basement. Mr. Frank then told him there were some wealthy people in Brooklyn, and Mr. Frank looked up, stared into the corner of his eye and said, "Why should you hang yourself?" . That's all he remembers when he asks not to take out the money for the security guard. A key detail in the document is that investigators were pleased to have James Conley, the author of the murder note, in custody. A handwriting expert attested that the handwriting on the note was that of Newt Lee, but even a non-expert could not be sure it was written by Jim Conley. Detectives and forensic investigators generally stated that the hand that wrote the memo put a string around Mary Phagan's neck, but detectives remained unhappy with the fact that they kept the author of the memo in custody for weeks. rice field. Frank's defense says that after the first day, Conley went to school instead of a third degree, and that the detectives acted as lecturers to put the words into Conley's mouth. On May 27, Conley again sworn to Scott and Chief Ranford. He admitted writing the note, but said he went to the factory on Saturday afternoon and found Mr. Frank there. Conley also added that while writing the note, Frank nervously walked around the room shouting, "Why are you hanging him?" Frank said he had wealthy relatives in Brooklyn. The detectives were content with Conley's second statement until they had enough time to consider it. Blacks looked them straight in the eye and claimed to have told them everything they knew, even though they knew it could be a criminal. At noon the next day, Conley was in hiding in the Newport Rumford Police Department, but a dozen journalists had gathered outside demanding coverage of the allegations. Police Chief Beavers was repeatedly called to meetings, but officers refused to speak. From the words that leaked through the door, reporters reconstructed black news stories. Chief Rumford decided to release the third black affidavit, and the blacks waited downstairs for Mr. Frank, asking him if he wanted to make a quick buck. He said he picked up the girl there and dropped her head on something. The Negroes screamed and told her that her girl was dead, and the man picked her up and told her to take her to the elevator. The negroes told him to look over there by the cotton box and get a piece of cloth.
As the narrator was carrying the woman to the dressing room, she slipped and fell to the floor. Mr. Frank helps the narrator pick her up on her feet and take her to her elevator. Mr. Frank then helps the narrator take her back to the sawdust pile and her hat and her shoes back to the garbage pile in front of the stove. The narrator then lies prone, with her head facing the elevator, the left side of her face on the floor, the right side of her body facing up, and her arms beside her body. to place. Mr. Frank joins the narrator in the back of the elevator and he says it's a tedious job. The narrator explained that their work was less tiring than Frank's, as they carried Ms. Clarke from her bunk to her dressing room and from the elevator to where she left her in the basement. Mr. Frank then took out a cigarette and asked the narrator if he wanted to smoke. The narrator then took out a box of matches and Mr. Frank gave the narrator a box of cigarettes. The narrator and Mr. Frank then sat in a chair, and Mr. Frank took out a cigarette and asked the narrator if he wanted to smoke. Mr. Frank asked the narrator to write a few lines on the white legal pad that was there. After the narrator wrote, Mr. Frank looked at the paper and said everything was fine. Mr. Frank then asked the narrator to shut up and he would make things right. He then presented the narrator with his $200 and a large dollar bill. The narrator didn't count it.
James Conley was a factory worker in Fulton County, Georgia. On Friday afternoon he was met by Mr. Frank near Montague Brothers and directed to come to the factory for additional work. He arrived around 11 a.m. After he met Mr. Frank, he was told to wait downstairs until he was called. He waited and fell asleep, the audio document says. Mr Conley said Mr Frank told him to meet up near Montague Brothers on Friday afternoon and come to the factory to do additional work. He arrived around 11 a.m. He was met by Mr. Frank and told to wait downstairs until he was called. Subsequently, he waited and fell asleep.
The African-American sweeper named Jim Conley was brought to the pencil factory where he performed his role in the crime in a dramatic way. Detectives questioned him repeatedly as he made his way through the factory, pointing out the locations of the body's discovery, its dropping, the source of the sacks, and other locations. He was carried to the superintendent's office, where he entered the wardrobe following the illustrated lecture on his role in the crime and his recitals of the conversations. The negro denied receiving any unfair treatment while he was a guest at headquarters when Chief Lanford asked him if he had. He was taken from the factory to the county jail, also known as the tower, where the sheriff is in charge and the police and detectives are powerless.
Through his lawyer, the black man alleged that Frank's friends had abused him while they were frequently seen passing by his cell. The court gave the negro's return to police headquarters its blessing after William Smith, a lawyer first hired by a newspaper to represent the negro, won his case. Jim Conley, a black man, made sensational affidavits of his innocence, claiming to be the real murderer and attempting to protect his own skin by accusing the factory manager of the crime. The Solicitor General kicked vehemently about how much attention the negro's statements had received and asked the detectives to keep everyone away from his cell.
Everyone was effectively barred from his cell except the department heads, detectives Starnes and Campbell, who were then directly under the direction of solicitor Dorsey, when an order was passed barring all but city detectives. Jim Conley didn't speak to the public again before testifying at the trial, and it was generally assumed that he had stuck to his third story until he started adding new sensations in response to the solicitor's question. For the first few days after the negro had made his sensational affidavits, hundreds of Atlantans shouted the charge against the Negro, and the friends of Frank shouted it the loudest. In spite of the criticism, Dorsey maintained his composure, and the detectives stuck to their conviction that Frank was the murderer.
The fact that the words Frank, Conley, and Negro are all connected to the Atlanta murder mystery is one of the phrases' most crucial details. The same grand jury sought to indict the black man for the same murder after Frank was charged with Mary Phagan's murder. Conley is imprisoned and has no more chance of escaping now than he would have had if he had been charged with the murder, according to Dorsey, who blocked attempts to indict the black man at every grand jury meeting. Dorsey persisted in his protests because he thought that charging Conley with a crime would be counterproductive and result in a miscarriage of justice while several of the grand jurors were determined to charge the black man. If Frank remained Solicitor General, it was promised that he would stand trial before Conley. The grand jury voted on whether it was wise to hear the evidence against Conley that was presented to them, and Dorsey prevailed. A second grand jury was convened before Frank was actually put on trial, but this time as well Dorsey prevailed again.
The hatred of the Frank supporters for Dorsey was heightened by an incident that occurred soon after Frank was charged. Inadvertently, he learned that Minola Cook, the Selig family's cook, and her husband Albert McKnight were in possession of sensational information about Frank Selig's actions at home and alleged family members' statements. He told one of his bailiffs to bring Minola to his office and sent for Albert. At the conference, Detectives Starnes and Campbell asked the Solicitor General whether they should put her in jail until they were sure that either she or her husband was telling the truth but one of them was lying for certain.
Until June 3, 1913, the Negress was imprisoned in a patrol wagon from Dorothy's workplace. She stayed there until noon, at which point she made an affidavit in front of lawyer George Gordon, who had been hired by an unidentified party to represent her. According to the affidavit, Mr. Frank left his house on Saturday, April 26, 1913, at 8:00 a.m., and Albert was still there when he arrived for dinner. Around 7:00 p.m., Mr. Frank returned to the home. Albert was already there when he arrived that evening.
Mr. Frank ate dinner on that evening around 7:00 p.m. on that evening and at about 8:00 p.m. the narrator left. They left Mr t Frank there on Sunday morning. The narrator observed Mr. and Mrs. Selig upstairs and Miss Lucille, Mr. Frank's wife, downstairs as a man in an automobile obtained a bucket of water and poured it into it. On Sunday morning, Albert and Miss Lucille heard that a girl and Mr. Frank had been discovered at the workplace. Miss Lucille claimed that Mr. Frank told her to get her gun and let him kill himself because he was too inebriated to let her sleep with him. Mrs. Frank hadn't visited her husband in two weeks, and she was at a loss as to what to do.
On Tuesday, Mr. Frank told Minola that it was really unfortunate that he might have to serve time in prison because of the girl. Miss Lucille claimed that Mr. Frank had trouble sleeping on Saturday night and had told her that night that he was in trouble and didn't know why he would commit murder, telling her to get her gun and let him kill himself. The most significant information in this passage is that Minola was being paid $3.50 per week at the time of the murder and that Mrs. Selly had given her $5 as a tip to remain silent.
Additionally, Minola claimed that Miss Lucille and the others had warned him not to talk about what had occurred outside and that he would have preferred to spend last night in jail than divulge this information. Additionally, Detective Starnes claimed that neither Mr. Pickett, Mr. Craven, Mr. Campbell, nor he, Detective Starnes, had any influence over Minola's decision to make this statement. The accused's wife, Mrs. Lucille Selig Frank, who is also the descendant of one of the most prominent Jews in the South, lambasted the detectives and the Solicitor General in no uncertain terms. She claimed that the Solicitor General's decision to arrest and imprison the cook because she refused to voluntarily make a false statement against her innocent husband reached a breaking point and was not the fault of a detective acting to protect his own reputation from criticism in the media. The cook is not accused of any crimes, and Mrs. Lucille Selig Frank acknowledged that he lacked the legal authority to have her detained. According to The Atlanta Journal, the woman was detained at the Selig residence shortly after noon on Monday and transported to the police station in a patrol wagon while hysterically crying and shouting.
Detectives Starnes and Campbell examined her for more than an hour, and she was then subjected to the infamous third degree torture for four hours. She was released from prison just before her husband, who was also taken to the police station at noon. According to The Atlanta Journal, the woman was detained at the Selig residence shortly after noon on Monday and transported to the police station in a patrol wagon while hysterically crying and shouting. Detectives Starnes and Campbell examined her for more than an hour, and she was then subjected to the infamous third degree torture for four hours. She was released from prison just before her husband, who was also taken to the police station at noon. She gave up after being interrogated nonstop to the point of exhaustion. The woman's longest statement since her involvement in the mystery, G.C. Febuary was called to take full note of it.
Upon leaving the examination where the solicitor had sworn to uphold the law and tortured the negress against the law, the negress was cool and collected. The attempts to coerce witnesses into testifying against an innocent man are the most crucial details in this recording. The plan is to continue torturing the victim until the desired affidavit is extracted. It is hoped that no one will ever be found guilty of murder in a civilized nation using evidence obtained through torture from witnesses. It is further stated that the plan is to continue torturing the victim until the desired affidavit is extracted, and that it is hoped that no one will ever be found guilty of murder in a civilized nation using evidence obtained through torture from witnesses. It is also stated that the plan is to continue torturing the victim until the desired affidavit is extracted, and that it is hoped that no one will ever be found guilty of murder in a civilized nation based solely on evidence extracted from witnesses through torture.
The most crucial information in the officially released and worded statement is that the speaker's husband spent the entire Saturday evening and night with her and that he was present at home for lunch and in the evening on the day of the murder. The speaker is aware that there is no other evidence against him besides that which is obtained through torture, and that it can be used to obtain testimony to be published in the media to harm the case of anyone the solicitor chooses to accuse. The speaker is also aware that rumors about his and the speaker's unhappy marriage have been spread throughout the community. She also knows that every conceivable rumor has been spread to harm him and the speaker's reputation. The speaker is aware that their husband is a man motivated by lofty ideals that forbid him from committing the crime that the detectives and the solicitor are trying to pin on him. The most crucial information in this passage is that the wife of the man accused of brutally killing the young factory girl played a significant role in the investigation.
The writer is aware that, despite the solicitor's claim during the trial that she didn't visit her husband for two weeks after his detention, she showed up at police headquarters the day he was arrested. Her husband was encircled by newspaper men and detectives, and friends persuaded her to leave without seeing him. The newspaper camera crew waited outside the location during that time for her to show up. For the first time, the wife of the man accused of killing the young factory girl brutally took center stage in the investigation.
The statement made by Mrs. Leo M. Frank in the Atlanta newspapers prompted the Solicitor General of this circuit to respond as follows. The Solicitor General claimed that a man's wife would probably be the last person to learn all the evidence proving his guilt and the last person to acknowledge his guilt. The Solicitor General also made note of the fact that punishing the guilty invariably causes suffering to family members who are innocent of taking part in the crime, but that the court and its officers cannot allow their sympathies for the defenseless to slow down the aggressive pursuit of those charged with committing crimes. This is a negative aspect of crime, and the court and its officers cannot allow sympathy for the defenseless to impede the vigorous pursuit of those charged. The working class of Atlanta and the state praised Hugh M. Dorsey for his stance, and the opposition to Frank only grew.
Frank's attorney Luther Z. Rosser accused Jim Conley of committing the crime and publicly criticized Chief A. Lanford for being dishonest in his search. Both sides started preparing for Frank's trial, and it was already clear that it would be the biggest legal conflict in the history of the South. Attorney General Dorsey declared that he had hired Frank A. Hooper to aid him in bringing the case. Reuben R. Arnold, arguably the best criminal defense attorney in the South, was hired for a fee of $12,500 to help with the defense. Rosser allegedly received a fee of $15,000 while continuing to serve as the leading attorney.
On June 24, Judge L.S. Roan proposed delaying the case; the trial had been scheduled to begin on June 30. The date of July 28 was set after mutual consent from both parties. Conley had killed the girl on the first floor and thrown her down the scuttle hole, according to the defense's theory, which was made public. On 10th May, when W.D. McWorth and a man named L.P. Whitefield searched the factory, they discovered a pay envelope corner bearing the name Mary Phagan and fragments of two numerals.
They also discovered a bludgeon with what appeared to be blood stains on it. Alleged bloodstains had previously been discovered close to the scuttle hole, and several pieces of twine with knots similar to those found around Mary Phagan's neck had also been discovered nearby. The fines were assessed during the investigation, which was conducted without Pinkertons field chief Harry Scott. Scott was informed upon his return that a pay envelope had been discovered, but nothing else. Asserting that his men had thoroughly searched the factory from top to bottom and would have discovered it if it had been there, Chief Lanford disregarded it as a plant.
The envelope was examined by experts in fingerprints, but no fingerprint traces were discovered. Near the spot where Conley acknowledged waiting in ambush, a bludgeon was also found. Chief Lanford claimed to be unaware of the find, but it was also dismissed as a plant. H received harsh criticism from Lanford. B. Pierce, head of the Pinkerton Agency, for failing to inform the city officials of the alleged discovery.
Pierce was let go by the Pinkertons and had left the city prior to the trial. Prior to the trial, W. was another significant development. Conley confessed to W.H. Mincey that he had murdered a girl that morning, Mincey stated in an affidavit to the defense. According to Mincey, he approached the Black for an insurance policy late in the day while he was near Conley's house at the intersection of Electric Avenue and Carter Streets. The black man warned him that he was in trouble and advised him to follow.

According to Mincey, he approached the Black for an insurance policy late in the day while he was near Conley's house at the intersection of Electric Avenue and Carter Streets. The black man warned him that he was in trouble and advised him to follow.
Mincey claims that Conley responded that he had killed a girl when asked what his problem was. Only a short time before the trial started and while Mincey was a teacher at Rising Fawn in North Georgia, the main points of Conley's affidavit were made public. Conley was making one of his sensational statements when Mincey called police headquarters and requested to speak with him under the guise of needing to identify a drunken black man, Chief Lanford recalled. The chief claims that he made no confessional hints at the time and claimed he couldn't identify Conley after taking a look at him. Although Mincey was brought to Atlanta pursuant to a subpoena, the defense never asked him to testify.
According to rumors, Dorsey had 25 witnesses who would try to impeach him and was, quote, loaded for him. Mincey has written a number of books on mind reading, and the solicitor had copies available for use during his cross-examination. A case where Jim Conley never admitted to writing all of the notes, but only one of them, is an example of the general value of expert testimony. As a result, the solicitor kept having both of the notes examined by experts. Six experts were prepared to testify under oath that Frank, not Conley, was the author of both notes. When Dorsey finally took them to New York, one of the most renowned experts there affirmed that Jim Conley was the author of both.
The solicitor forced the Negro to admit that he did write both notes when he came back. On the morning of Monday, July 28, at 08:00, an hour before the time set for the opening of court, a crowd started to gather in front of the courthouse shortly after daylight in anticipation of the great legal battle that was to come.
Numerous people poured through the Red Building's entrance and up the one short flight of stairs to the door of the room where the trial was to take place as the intersection of Hunter and Prior streets was packed with people. To keep the air clean and the environment as cool as possible, a dozen electric fans and several ozonators had been installed inside. Only lawyers for the talesmen, journalists, the prisoner's close friends, and a few spectators were allowed entry.
Over 100 witnesses that the state had called to testify were assigned to a courtroom on the second floor to wait for their turn. About ten minutes before seven o'clock, the Fulton County Jail brought Frank from his cell, where he was met by his mother, Mrs. Ray Frank, and his wife. He commented that he anticipated being exonerated and appeared relieved that his lengthy detention was finally over. Just before 9:00 a.m., he was led into the courtroom and directed to the judge's seat.
As Herbert Haas, Ruben R. Arnold, and Luther Z. Rosser, an attorney, arrived, Frank Rostrum, his wife, his mother, and themselves were seated on either side of him. Hugh M. Dorsey, the Solicitor General, and his Special Assistant Frank A. Hooper and the last lawyer to appear was Assistant Solicitor A.E. Stevens. Solicitor Dorsey was prepared to vehemently oppose a motion for a delay after Mr. Arnold declared he was prepared to move forward with the trial.
The famous trial had started when Roan sat down at the bench. The various squads marched into the jury box to present their excuses, if any, as the court clerk started calling the names of the veniremen. Solicitor Dorsey was instructed by Judge L.S. Roan to call the witnesses' names after this formality. Mr. J.W. Coleman and Mrs. Fanny Coleman are significant players in the investigation because they are both Mary Phagan's mother and the murdered girl's stepfather.
W.H. Mincey was one of the additional witnesses that attorney Dorsey called. There were Twenty Five other witnesses such as George W. Epps, Detective for the City, J.M. Starnes. L.S. Dobbs. W.W. Rogers, John Black, a City Detective, Miss Grace Hicks, and L.M. Gantt, Harry Scott, a Pinkerton detective, and B.B. Haslet, E.F. Holloway, M. B. William A. Geesling, Claude Smith, City Bacteriologist Dr. J. W. Hurt, the Coroner's Physician was injured. Dr. Claude Smith. President of the State Board of Health, Dr. H.F. Harris. E.L. Perry. Miss Monteen Stover, Mr. Arthur White, Miss Helen Ferguson, Colored Minola McKnight, E.S.Smith, Albert McKnight, and L. Stanford. Given that Detective Haslett would appear later and that Albert McKnight is the black husband of Minola McKnight, the cook at the Selig and Frank residence, three people on the list that did not respond. Jim Conley, the African-American received an attachment in the form of a subpoena to appear in court on Tuesday for L. Stanford and the third witness.
The twelve witnesses were then called by the defense, who received affirmative responses from all of them. Then, the defense announced the witness' names: Annie Hixon, Mrs. Levy, Mrs. Josephine Selig, Emile Selig, and H.J. Henze, R.H. Haas, W. H. Mincey, J.T. Spear, E.F. Skipper, May Barrett, and E.L. Sentell, C.H. Carson, Mrs. Rebecca Carson, Mr. Harry Denham, Mr. Harry Gotteimer, Miss Corinthia Hall, Miss Hattie Hall, Mary Burke, Lemmie Quinn, Herbert J. Schiff, Ella Thomas, C.B. Gilbert, Frank Payne, Eula Flowers, Alonzo Mann, Joseph Steger, Ike Strauss, and J.C. Loeb, L.J. Cohen, Emma Bibb, Mrs. Bessie White, Joe Williams, Wade Campbell, William McKinley, J.E. Lyons, Mrs. Bessie White, and Dora Lavender Lyons, Jerome Michael Monix, and Mrs. M.W Meyer. The twelve jurors chosen to decide Frank's fate were Meyer, Rabbi Marks, M. Johenning, and W.S. Woodward, J.T. Osbourne, A.H. Henslee , F.V.L. Smith, J.T. Higdon, Data Townsend, W. S. Metcalf, F.E. Winburn, Winburn A.I. Wizby, Chaz J Bossard, A.I. Wizby, Chaz J. Bossard, and W.M. Jeffries. The first panel was disqualified for good reason or due to mandatory challenges. The second and third panels both produced four jurors, which was more successful.
At 11:40 a.m., both sides passed A.H. Henslee, who was the first peer selected. Eleven jurors had been chosen at 11:50 a.m. from the various squads of talesmen who had been interrogated in rapid succession. The eight and final panelists each stated their bias and prejudice one after another or said they already had a predetermined opinion. The final man dialed C.J. Bossard, the 144th Talesman, was accepted.
The three-hour break was mandated by the twelve men chosen by Judge Roan. In the antechamber behind the courtroom, Frank ate the first of several dinners. At noon, he appeared upbeat and expressed his relief that the laborious process of selecting a jury was now complete. At three o'clock, Mrs. J.W. Coleman, the dead girl's mother, was summoned to testify. She spoke slowly and in a voice that was hardly audible outside the jury box while wearing deep black clothing.
Mrs. Coleman recalled the last time she saw her young daughter Mary. Mary had assisted Coleman with housework on the morning of Saturday, April 26, and after helping her prepare a meal of cabbage and biscuits, the two of them had left the house at 11:50 with the goal of visiting a pencil factory to collect their $1.20 for two days of work. The testimony about the later food that the girl had consumed was of little significance at the time. The fact that the state used the girl's stomach contents to demonstrate that she had been murdered is one of the case's most crucial facts. The second witness used by the state to bolster its line of evidence was George Epps, a friend of the murder victim's from childhood and one of the last people to see her alive.
He recalled taking a young child to the intersection of Forsyth and Marietta streets and dropping her off five minutes before she entered the pencil factory. On Monday afternoon, old Newt Lee followed the boy to the stand for two hours and endured Luther Z Rosser's grilling without ever becoming confused or agitated. He left the witness stand three hours later, his account unchallenged. On the afternoon of the murder, he spoke about finding the body, calling the police, meeting Frank, and rubbing his hands in the pencil factory. He was repeatedly asked to repeat his story, but the shrewd cross-examiner for the defense managed to keep him out of every trap. He said of Luther Rosser, "He's pretty terrible."
The State built the framework for its case against the young factory superintendent at adjournment on Tuesday. They had established that she left her house at 11:50 a.m. and named witnesses to demonstrate that she arrived at Forsyth and Marietta streets at 12:07 p.m., or a short while earlier. During the four parts of the trial, a number of the police officers who responded to Newt Lee's initial call and went to the pencil factory were called and informed of the discovery, the location and appearance of the body when they saw it, and the surroundings. Everyone who saw Leo M. Frank was surprised by his quiet assurance. He sat with his arms crossed and his eyes fixed on the jury, the witness stand, or one of the lawyers, between his wife and his mother, whose faces were mostly neutral and emotionless.
He exuded serenity and seemed confident in both his cause and himself. As he sat a few feet from the judge's bench to the left of his attorneys, friends, and family gathered behind him, he showed no more anxiety than any of the onlookers. The most crucial information in this passage is that Frank was the most obedient prisoner there, and that he was never handcuffed during the trips from the jail to court and from the court to the jail. Additionally, he was given an unusual amount of freedom to move around the courtroom, and he never once disobeyed a guardian's instruction. In addition to eating all of his meals—aside from dinner in the evening—in an answering room in the mornings and afternoons, he also regularly entertained anywhere between six and ten friends.
He was believed to be innocent by his employers, the other men he worked with in the factory, and numerous female subordinates. This confidence was unaffected by the moral perversion accusation that was brought against him during the trial. One of the accused man's friends referred to the women who testified late in the trial that he was not of good character as fanatics, and witnesses who accused Frank of having inappropriate relations with factory workers' women were referred to as perjurers. Mary Phagan's coworker, R.P. Barrett, a machinist in the same metal room, reported seeing blood spots close to the water cooler and several hair strands wrapped around the handle of a lathe a few feet away.
A broom that had allegedly been used to spread the liquid across the floor and hide the blood was also discovered nearby, according to him. According to the theory behind the murder, Frank lured his victim back into the medal room when she went into his office to get her pay and killed her when she refused to submit to his abuse. The two key pieces of information in this text are Sargeant L.S. Dobbs testimony and Christopher Columbus Barrett's testimony, who was part of the group that was first led to the dead girl's side the morning the body was discovered.
Sargeant L.S. Dobbs, a member of the group, was the first one to be led to the dead girl's side the morning the body was discovered. The defense tried to prove that the clear track didn't start at the elevator, but rather a few feet away at the bottom of the ladder that led from the first-floor scuttle hole. The solicitor called the City Detective J.N. Starnes, the official prosecutor in the case, to give testimony about a number of crucial details pertaining to the City Police investigation.
The facts of the case are the information that matters the most in this audiobook The Sleuth testified that Frank entered the Pencil Factory's office the morning after the body was discovered and said to General Manager Darley, "You see, I've got another suit.". According to Starnes' testimony, Frank was tense and anxious on Sunday morning. The early days of the case were characterized by numerous disputes, and the jury was dismissed. A dispute arose on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 29, when Solicitor Dorsey attempted to introduce in evidence a diagram of the Pencil factory with a red line indicating the path Conley claimed he took when carrying the body from the metal room to the basement.
"Boots" Rogers claimed that on the morning of April 27, when Frank and City Detective John Black drove to his house in a car to bring the superintendent to the crime scene, Frank was very anxious. The State aimed to establish that Frank refrained from looking at the dead girl's face while she was present at the undertaking parlors. Rogers testified that the superintendent left the room where the body was lying and entered another after arriving at the undertaking parlors. Later, when Frank claimed to have seen the girl's face not just once, but twice, he contradicted other witnesses. The sister-in-law of Rogers, Miss Grace Hicks, testified that the girls in the metal room frequently combed their hair over their equipment and that there was a gas jet a short distance from the lathe where Barrett found the hair strands allegedly belonging to Mary Phagan.
After spending several hours on the witness stand, City Detective John Black was subjected to one of Attorney Rosser's most ruthless cross-examinations of the entire case. Additionally, he corroborated Detective Starnes' testimony in regard to the police's subsequent investigations. Although the Pinkerton Agency had given the defense lawyers access to the information, Solicitor Dorsey pointed out that the discovery of the bloody club and alleged spots on the floor close to the scuttle hole leading to the basement had never been reported to the police. The detective was questioned by Attorney Rosser regarding the bloody shirt that was discovered at Newt Lee's residence. Black recognized the shirt as one that was discovered at the Negro's house in the bottom of a barrel.
The defense's attempt to present evidence pertaining to the shirt was met with a stern legal tilt. According to Solicitor Dorsey, Frank went to the night watchman's house on the Sunday after the murder and hid the shirt there. Frank also claimed that the shirt was a plant. On the morning of July 31, Detective Harry Scott of the Pinkerton Agency took the witness stand and related his visit to the factory on the Monday following the murder and his experience being shown around the facility by the man who would later assist in gathering evidence against him. Through the testimony of this witness, the solicitor sought to establish that Frank had made an effort to cast doubt on Gantt. The key points in this passage are when the witness responded that Frank had not told him that Gantt knew the murdered girl when he worked at the factory, and when Dorsey claimed that the witness had misled him on this point.
Attorney Rosser argued that the prosecutor would need to tell the court that he had been entrapped by the witness before he could continue this line of questioning after the defense attorneys objected to him trying to make this point. When Detective Scott asked Dorsey if he believed the solicitor was withholding information, Dorsey declined to admit that he had been accused of being reticent. The state's representative affirmed that he did not, but argued that the detective had overlooked this information. Then he questioned Scott about any advice Scott had received regarding the withholding of evidence after Scott had left his job.
Pearson and Scott visited Herbert J. Frank's attorney, Haas, will hold a conference to discuss the Pinkerton's role in the investigation. After some discussion, Mr. Haas declared that he would prefer it if we gave our reports to him before the police. Several surprises were unveiled on Thursday afternoon. Young factory worker Mel Stanford testified that he had swept the metal room floor on the Friday before the murder and neither haskelline nor blood stains were present. Luther Z. Rosser was unable to retract his claim.
The metal room's floor chips were identified by Dr. Claude Smith, the city bacteriologist, who declared that he had found blood corpuscles on one of them. William T. Geesling and Palmer, both of whom worked at P. J. Bloomfield. When Bloomfield removed Mary Fagan's body from its hiding place in the basement of the pencil factory, he claimed that she had been dead for 12 to 15 hours. When E.F. Holloway, the factory's day watchman, testified that he had left the switchbox controlling the elevator's motor unlocked on the day of the murder, he was charged with having set him up.
According to Solicitor Dorsey's argument, after Frank had called Conley to assist him in disposing of the body, he went to the office and obtained the key to the receptacle before he could start the machinery. Holloway claimed that he had locked the elevator when he left for home, but after giving the situation more thought, he had forgotten to stall the planks. The testimony of Mrs. Arthur White, who took the stand on Friday, August 1, is where the majority of the text's crucial details are found. She stated in her deposition that she went to the factory at 11:30 a.m. to see her husband and left after a brief conversation. She came back and went into Frank's workplace after a half-hour.
She then went to the fourth floor, where her husband and Harry Denham were working, and stayed there until 12:50 a.m., when Frank showed up and told her that he was going to lock the building before going to lunch. Frank behaved naturally when he arrived on the fourth floor, according to Mrs. White. She also related how, as she was leaving the building, a Negro could be seen skulking in the dim light of the first-floor hallway. Between her first and second visits, the state insisted, the murder had occurred. When called to the witness stand, General Manager M.V. Darley acknowledged that Frank had been anxious on the morning of April 27.
He claimed that the factory's superintendent provided an explanation, stating that he had been summoned from his bed that morning on the spot and had arrived at the facility before he had time to brew his customary cup of coffee. One of the case's surprises was H.F. Harris, secretary of the State Board of Health. When the body was exhumed nine days after the initial burial, he conducted an autopsy on it. He estimated that the girl passed away between 50 and 75 minutes after her noon meal. Dr. J.W. Hurt, the County Doctor, later confirmed his account. and other medical professionals in surrebuttal.
When Dr. Harris tried to determine the time of death using this investigation, the defense aimed to show that he was only speculating. It was a scientific opinion, according to other witnesses, not just a wild guess. Dr. Harris claimed that the victim's eye had been blackened before she passed away, most likely by a blow, and that the wound on her head that caused her to lose consciousness was undoubtedly caused by a sharp object. Dr. Hurt corroborated Dr. Harris' testimony and provided a thorough account of the girl's injuries. The Selig Home's cook, Alfred McKnight, testified that he had been in the kitchen on Saturday, April 26, and that Frank had gone into the dining room and had spent some time looking in the mirror there.
On Saturday, W.F. Anderson called the Detective Department's Stenographer G.C. Febuary. Chief of Police Beavers, Detective Wagoner, and Patrolman Lasseter were also contacted. The testimony of Miss Helen Ferguson, a factory girl, and the head of the police department dominated the first week of the trial. A newspaper with the bold red headline "Adds Links to Chain" was found on Judge Roan's desk, which the defense objected to. After a five-minute conference, the attorneys returned to the courtroom and requested that the jury be dismissed. Attorney Dorsey requested that the jury be forewarned against being swayed by anything they had recently seen or were likely to see in the future. During the first week, a number of additional witnesses were questioned, but nothing new was learned from their testimony that had not already been revealed by the police and private investigators conducting the investigation. On Monday, August 4, the second week of the trial began, and the State introduced James Conley, a Negro who worked as a factory sweeper and was able to directly link Frank to the crime. Conley was the State's most significant witness. When it was revealed that the Negro would be questioned on this day, a crowd larger than any other besieged the courthouse. The public had been waiting impatiently for the Negro to take the stand. By 8:30 a.m, the police had increased to several hundred and had implemented the plan of forcing spectators to form a line to wait for the doors to open.
Before the hearing began, all the women present had to leave, Judge L.S. Roan announced from the bench. James Conley, who had been charged with disorderly conduct in police court, took the witness stand. He related to Glibly how, under the orders of Superintendent Frank, he had carried the dead girl's body to the basement. The witness claimed sensationally that he had once seen Frank kissing a woman in his factory office and that, on other Saturdays and holidays, he had watched from the building's front door as Frank had secret meetings with women on the second floor. The witness claimed Frank had told him to go back to the factory on Saturday morning on Friday afternoon.
When they first met, the witness said he was a little early for what he wanted and that he wanted him to keep an eye out for him like he had on other Saturdays. He promised to watch at the door and let him know when he saw him after keeping an eye out for him while he was upstairs speaking with young women. Mr. Frank was by himself on Thanksgiving Day, and according to the witness, he had been kept on the lookout as on other Saturdays.
The events of the morning of April 26, 1912, when Conley and Dorsey went to the Capitol City Laundry and met Mr. Frank at Nelson and Forsyth streets, are the most crucial details in this text. Conley was asked by Dorsey if he could go to the Capital City Laundry and meet Mr. Frank at Nelson and Forsyth streets after leaving the factory. Dorsey asked him if he could go to the Capital City Laundry and meet Mr. Frank at Nelson and Forsyth streets when he got back to the factory. Dorsey asked him if he could go to the Capital City Laundry and meet Mr. Frank at Nelson and Forsyth streets when he got back to the factory. After arriving back at the factory, Dorsey asked him if he could go to the Capital City Laundry and meet Mr. Frank at Nelson and Forsyth streets.
The most crucial information in this text is that Conley saw Lemmie Quinn, Mary Phagan, and Monteen Stover enter the building in that order, but Mary never left. When he got back to the factory, Dorsey asked him if he could go to the The most crucial information in this text is that Conley saw Lemmie Quinn, Mary Phagan, and Monteen Stover enter the building. Miss Monteen Stover, who was dressed in a red coat and tennis shoes, was the next person he saw ascend. He got up when he heard Mr. Frank stomping over his head and locked the door as Mr. Frank had instructed. He went upstairs as instructed by Mr. Frank when he heard him whistle. He was shivering, rubbing his hands together, and acting strangely at the top of the stairs when Mr. Frank whistled.
The black man stood up, made his legs tremble, clasped his hands, and moved his right hand backward and forward, from the back of his head to his face, and then in the opposite direction. The cord taken from Mary Phagan's body's neck was displayed by attorney Dorsey. In his testimony, the black man claimed that Mary Phagan had resisted Frank's advances and that Frank had returned to the medal room. Frank claimed that after a struggle, the girl had toppled over and hurt herself. Conley claimed that Frank had said he was different from other men, alluding to an earlier incident in which the Negro had interrupted the young superintendent while having strange relations with another girl.
Conley's cross examination was the most notable aspect of the trial, and his direct examination was finished in less than two hours. For three and a half days, Luther Z. Rosser peppered the black witness with inquiries in an effort to trip him up on a particular aspect of his testimony, but the black man never lost his cool. Attorney Arnold entered the room to ask the witness a question as the interrogation devolved into a test of physical stamina. Four stenographers recorded Conley's testimony in 30-minute relays, and as soon as one was done, he hurried to a typewriter to type up his notes.
Two hours after Conley's official testimony was entered into the record, copies of it were given to the defense attorneys. Attorney Rosser questioned the Negro about incidents when he had previously observed while Frank amused his female friends in his office. The Black man responded that in July 1912 was the first performance he saw. Daisy Hopkins was there, along with C.B. Dalton and a woman who worked on the fourth floor. He was sweeping when they entered, but Mr. Frank called him to his office and asked if he wanted to make some money. After asking him if he did, Mr. Frank instructed him to keep an eye out for him at the door.
He sat down and observed as the young woman left and returned carrying Mr. Dalton. The young lady and Mr. Dalton left after they had been there for ten to fifteen minutes. As they descended the ladder to the basement, the Negro took them back and unlocked the trap door. The witness claimed he had no idea how long the couple had been in the basement, but he did know that he had waited by the trap door and had opened it when they didn't emerge to answer questions. Then he declared that while the girl waited at the top of the stairs for a while, Dalton went outside and entered the office.
He received quarters from Mr. Dalton and Mr. Frank. The girls left at around 4:30 p.m. as he was leaving. The cross examiner instructed the witness to describe what happened during the subsequent visit by women to the factory, which occurred on a Saturday about two weeks later. Conley claimed that early in the morning, Frank approached him and said he wanted to put him in charge of the afternoon. About 2:15 p.m., Frank arrived back at the office.
Mr. Holloway entered the office that afternoon, and soon after, he left. After a while, the Negro announced that Miss Daisy Hopkins had arrived; he then followed her up the stairs and watched her enter the office.
The most critical information in this record is that Jim Conley, a black man who had been watching out for Frank for two years, had waited by the door until the woman arrived and Frank snapped his fingers at him to close them. The negro responded that it was early in the winter, before Thanksgiving, when Mr. Rosser asked if it was Thanksgiving Day. The negro responded that it was just before Thanksgiving, early in the winter, when Mr. Rosser next asked him about the last time he served as Frank's watchman. The negro responded that it was just before Thanksgiving, early in the winter, when Mr. Rosser asked him when he last served as Frank's watchman.
The negro responded that the subsequent time he served as Frank's watchman was just before Thanksgiving, early in the winter, when Mr. Rosser questioned him about it. He further added that it was just before Thanksgiving, early in the winter, when Mr. Rosser next inquired about the last time he served as Frank's watchman. Conley was questioned by the detectives regarding his police affidavits, and he acknowledged lying to them. He stated that he arrived at the factory around 8:00 a.m. or 8:30 a.m. and that she entered about 30 minutes later. He claimed that he last saw her in Mr. Frank's office about three days prior and that he hasn't seen her since. She was wearing all-black clothing, he said, and had a good-looking face as he stacked some boxes upstairs. When Mr. Frank stamped his foot on the door, he locked it after her and closed it.
After an hour and a half, she emerged, and as they made their way to the door, the woman asked, "Is that the nigger?," to which Mr. Frank replied, "Yes, that is the best nigger I ever saw.". Conley was questioned by the detectives about every claim he had made in his affidavits to the police, and he eventually admitted lying to them.
The key points of this text are that at the conclusion of the first day of questioning, the state prosecution was ecstatic that Conley was being truthful, and that the defense attorneys unexpectedly moved to strike from the record all of Conley's testimony regarding keeping an eye out for Frank on previous days and the Negro's character-attacking statements. Attorney Arnold argued that the testimony was irrelevant, immaterial, incompetent, and inadmissible.
He also argued that it was appropriate to exclude a section of the Negro's testimony that attacked Frank's character and that was revealed as a result of the solicitor's questions. When the court did not object when this evidence was presented, attorney Hooper said that to allow the calling of witnesses to support Conley would be to play fast and loose with the system.
Additionally, the defense attorneys wanted to have testimony about watching on other occasions withdrawn, but Judge Roan interrupted and said that if their objection had been made at the time this testimony was introduced, it had been well taken. Frank's mother patted him on the shoulder, whispered in his ear, and wrapped her arm around his neck as he bowed his head.
In his speech to the court, solicitor Dorsey argued that the evidence was admissible. It should be ruled out, Mr. Rosser interjected. Attorney Dorsey retorted that it wasn't appropriate to let this man subject this witness to a two-day ordeal of grueling cross-examination before coming along and requesting that particular parts of it be disregarded. This would prevent them from supporting this witness' testimony regarding Frank's behavior.
Other witnesses were awaiting to support Jim Conley, the solicitor announced. In an effort to prove that Conley had told the truth, he requested permission from the court to call witnesses to the stand. The attorney requested fairness and justice from the court after looking into the operations of the National Pencil factory and demonstrating Conley's connections to a half-dozen different men.
The prosecutor also cited Dr. Hurt's testimony, which is pertinent to proving Mary Phagan's murderer. The attorney pleaded with the court for fairness and justice after delving into the operations of the National Pencil factory and demonstrating Conley's connections to a half-dozen different men. The defense was challenged by attorney Dorsey to produce any decision written in the last five years that went against this rule. Mrs. Frank, the accused's wife, got up from her seat during the arraignment of Frank and entered an anteroom.
Fresh tears had just begun to form in her eyes when she entered the court. Mr. Arnold referred to the objectionable evidence as "miserable, rotten stuff," and he continued by saying that the defendant had endured outrageous suffering. The State only wants it kept because they failed to object in a timely manner, which is the only justification. A man may only face trial once in a criminal case. Attorney Arnold argued that introducing erroneous and useless evidence into a murder trial amounted to just as much murder as trying to convict the defendant of a single crime. In his defense, he claimed that the State had called this man to testify and that they were using a lot of unrelated evidence to support his outrageous story. In addition, Attorney Arnold criticized the Supreme Court ruling that Solicitor Dorsey had cited, claiming that it was written in a case involving the legal sale of cocaine rather than a murder case.
In his view, if this evidence were to be accepted, the investigation into the murder would have to be suspended in favor of two other cases because murder is a completely different and more serious matter than the sale of cocaine. The most crucial information in this text is that Judge Roan disregarded all possibilities except for the watching on the specific day, April 26, and ruled that the evidence was inadmissible as an original proposition.
Attorney Hooper asked the judge to defer making a decision until Wednesday so that the state had time to research and submit rulings that were relevant to the issue. Attorney Rosser continued his cross-examining of Conley after the jury was re-called to the courtroom. In the event that his decision was incorrect, Judge Roan said he held himself prepared to change his mind. After the jury was brought back into the courtroom, Attorney Rosser continued to cross-examine Conley.
The Frank Case is the story of Georgia's greatest crime thriller, the story of how young Mary Phagan was murdered while collecting paychecks at the National Pencil Factory. Leo M. Frank, the manager of a large factory where a humble little employee died, was arrested and became the Frank case. The story of the case, the major developments over the next four months, and the grand trial in which two of the South's top criminal defense attorneys battled the insight of the Atlanta Attorney General to save Frank were covered in the press. Frank's sentencing in Fulton High Court will finish the job, but new trial motions have been filed and the death penalty, if any, would be months away. The most important details in this document are the events leading up to the trial of Leo M. Frank.
At 3 a.m. on April 27, the body of Mary Phagan is found in the basement of the National Pencil Factory. At 12:00 a.m., the night watchman Newt Lee Negro arrives. Arthur Mullinax is arrested and blood is found in a metal room on the second floor. Coroner Donahue appoints a jury and suspends the investigation. J.M. Gantt is arrested and Pinkerton is ordered to find the hunter. Frank and Lee are taken to the county jail and held there pending the coroner's findings. Attorney General Dorsey joins the case, and Frank recounts his actions on the day of the crime. Paul Bowen is arrested and released after establishing an alibi. Frank and Lee are detained by the grand jury's coroner's board.
Mrs. Frank visits her husband for the first time since her imprisonment. Colonel Thomas B. Felder announces that Detective Burns is working to solve the mystery. May 21 - New York fingerprint expert PA Flack says the results of the investigation are unclear. May 24 - Conley makes a startling confession that Frank had tricked him into writing a note near the body. 5/26 - Burns authorities announced that the investigation was closed.
May 27 - Conley also released a sensational affidavit, stating that he helped Frank move the body of Mary Phagan to the basement. June 3 - Minola McKnight has prepared a sensational affidavit of hearing Frank speak of his strange behavior on the night of the murder. 7 June - Mrs. Frank rebukes Lawyer Dorsey, explaining that the room in which Minola McKnight filed her affidavit was a torture chamber. June 8 - Attorney Rosser accuses Chief Ranford of misconduct in the murder hunt. June 23 - Attorney Dorsey determines that night watchman Newt Lee was awakened by the clock on the second floor of the National Pencil Factory.
A shadow in the corner dances toward him as he holds his hand to warm the glass of the lantern. The light of the lanterns reflected the dial of a large clock that chimed every half hour. Soon Newt will be able to patrol abandoned factory buildings, strike clocks, and sit down to rest. He was so tired that he thought he needed a rest.
Newt has been a night watchman at the factory for months. He is tired, but his caretaker, Mr. Frank, has given him rest for most of the afternoon. As he approaches the bottom of the stairs, he mutters to himself as he throws the light of his lantern back and forth across the empty first floor. Haya comes down at 03:00. At 6:00, Mr. Frank told him to slow down and not come back until 6:00. Newt calmly looks around his ground floor, as usual. There were no busy workers, no men eager to pack pencils, no dozens of little factory girls crouching at the machines. He likes machines because for a night watchman, silence in everyday life means safety. Going to another floor, he will fill the basement, the darkest darkness. Newt Lee raised the trapdoor over the water, and a faint glimmer of light shone through. His lantern flickers with light, faintly illuminating the dim light of the basement. Each time he circles, he raises his leg carefully, while his lantern moves the light back and forth, faintly illuminating the dim light of the basement. His feet were planted on the ground, and as he stood on the subterranean floor, the lantern emitted a yellow light. He takes three steps and stops. Lights came on, illuminating stacks of clothing and things Newt had never seen before. His heart raced and he tried to laugh, but his voice was hard and raspy in the silence. Taking another step forward, Newt Lee staggered back as the lantern flashed again. He saw something as blood-stopping as a dam of ice and climbed the ladder, jumping and sobbing. The same clock chimed as Newt patrolled the factory buildings. Welcome hour meant that the office's big press would print out pages and pages for the townsfolk to pass the Sunday hours between breakfast and church. They arrived on a foggy, misty Decatur Street, freed from the throngs of happy, laughing blacks that had packed in a few hours earlier. Britt was in Boots Rogers' car, and the third reporter remained in the car. In the station building, staff members sat on chairs and spent the rest of the day until dawn. A thin speck of light appeared on the eastern smoke-shrouded horizon, and the hands of the station's clock were pointing to 45 minutes. Police officers charged with disorderly conduct heard a black man sob in a cell behind the station early in the evening. The sergeant yelled at the burly man near the door, whose chevron crest proclaimed him in front of the detachment. When the phone rang, Mr. Boots' deputy, Mr. Rogers, opened his mouth and began an impassioned account of the Grace case. Officer W. T. Anderson got up tired and went to the phone booth door and opened it.
His officer brethren looked up in a moment of interest, but then returned to their seats. Then he got a message from a black man many blocks away. The Negro was speaking in a trembling voice about the dead girl found in the basement of the National Pencil Factory on Forsyth Street. When Officer Anderson burst out of the phone box with a message, the sleeping officers jumped and woke up. They jumped in the car, woke the sleeping reporters, and drove to the corner of Prior and Decatur Streets. Two men, police officers Dobbs and Brown, stood at the corner. The car slowed down and the four men got out. Officer Anderson was banging on the door with his fist clenched, Newt Lee's frightened face staring at them. They fired at him and entered the dimly lit gates of the factory. Lee was in front, Anderson right behind him, clutching his revolver. Newt Lee led them down a ladder into the darkness, pointing anxiously at something in the corner. Officers crouched to see the frightened, mutilated corpse of a girl with her head forward and her legs angled into the right rear corner. Her face had bruises and she was black with dirt. When the men bent down to investigate further, the most important detail in the document was the discovery of two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scribbled vulgar writing. Officers read a note written by Lee, a tall black man, and his mother as they pushed him into the pit. Anderson suddenly turned to the security guard, tapped him on the shoulder with a rude hand, and accused Nigger of doing this. Officers then contacted Ms. Brown, who had thoroughly searched the basement, and found the girl's other pair of slippers. Officers later found two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scribbled rude letters. Anderson suddenly turned to the security guard, tapped him on the shoulder with a rude hand, and accused Nigger of doing this. Newt Lee was arrested on suspicion of murder on Sabbath morning and taken to a police building to identify the dead child. Grace Hicks, who lived at 100 McDonough Road, traveled with Rogers to the P.J. Bloomfield morgue to see Mary Phagan's dismembered body. Detective Stearns calls the property manager, Frank, and tells him that something happened at the factory and that he's going to pick him up. With the police and CID busy at the scene, Detective Stearns called his home supervisor Frank to tell him that something had happened at the factory and that he would come pick him up. Rogers and Detective John Black drive to Frank's house to ask if anything happened at the pencil factory.
Frank was dressed up except for his collar and tie and seemed extremely nervous. On the way, Black asks Frank if he knows a girl named Mary Phagan, and the factory manager tells him to check the factory payslip. On their way to the factory, the three stop at a funeral home to see the body of Mary Phagan. By sunrise word of the murder had spread through town and a few men, including N.V Darley the plant manager, were standing outside the factory gates.
Frank greeted the foreman and officers and went to Frank's office. When the superintendent opened the safe, he found a blank book bearing the name of Mary Phagan. Frank then asked if there was any evidence of wage rotation in the factory. The next request was to see where the girl's body was found. Frank went to the control box next to the elevator, unlocked it, and switched on the machine. Back on the first floor, someone suggested that we all go to the station building, where Frank took the key out of his pocket and suggested that we open the locked door on the right. Boots Rogers later testified that Frank took the key out of his pocket, unlocked the right side, and took out the Timeslip. An important detail in this document is that Frank found a pencil in one of the potholes and asked Lee why he was there. Frank then unlocks his watch and writes April 26, 1913 on the margin of the slip, while at the police station Frank sits on Darley's lap, shaking violently. At the police station, Frank spoke of a visit to the factory by a young man named J.M. Gantt on Saturday morning. Gantt was a young man who had just been laid off from the factory and returned in the afternoon to pick up the shoes he had left behind. . Based on this statement, the Criminal Investigative Division launched a search for Gantt. Newt Lee was in custody at Frank's home while detectives were looking for multiple suspects. Mary Phagan was a factory girl who worked hard from morning till night. On Memorial Day, she drove into town to see the Confederate Veterans Parade on Peachtree Street.
She took the tram into town and met George Epps, a newspaperman who had always liked her. She promised to meet him at 1:00 p.m. and saw boys in gray march down Marietta and Forsyth streets. Later that night, George Epps ran to the Phagans to find out why Mary had not met her as promised. Mary's stepfather, J.W. Coleman, went into town to see if she could find Mary where she may have been to the Beauty Theater with a few friends.
The audio file's most important detail is the events leading up to Mary Coleman's death. Mr. Coleman went to Bijou and watched her face stream past, but he never saw the face of the little girl he was looking for. He returned to her home at 146 Lindsay Street and comforted her mother, who was grieving at the thought that Mary had gone to Marietta to visit her grandmother. In the early hours of Sunday, April 27th, there was a knock on the door of the Phagan family, and her mother's heart told her it was a message from Mary. Her neighbor, Miss Helen Ferguson, was standing at the door, her eyes filled with sorrow, her lips barely able to utter the terrible words she wanted to say. The news reached the Phagan family, and Mr. Coleman rushed into town to see the body of the girl who had become more than just a daughter to him. At Bloomfields, undertaker Will Giessling showed her body, which the old man positively identified. This scene later saw hundreds of people staring at the empty walls of the pencil factory. Mary Phagan was murdered in the basement of the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 29. Her remains were buried in an old family cemetery in Marietta, Georgia, 32 miles from Atlanta. On May 7, the body was exhumed by order of the public prosecutor and a thorough examination of the stomach and other vital organs was carried out by doctors. H.F. Harris was implemented by the State Board of Health. The mystery surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan and her brutal crimes caused a sensation and remained a mystery for months, not just the required nine days. Mary Phagan's name was on everyone's lips, and more and more newspapers were published on Monday morning, the day after the murder. Atlanta police were inundated with rumors leading to the discovery of the killer. The first wave of public opinion unanimously blamed Newt Lee, but reports of other suspects led to the arrest of Arthur Mullinax, a former tram conductor and alleged friend of the dead girls. Mullinax was arrested based on the testimony of C.J. Camper Food Company employee E.L. Sentell. Sentell said he had known Mary Phagan for years and was convinced that the girl he had seen on her street was her. Mullinax was briefly arrested by police and taken to the police station late Sunday evening. A key detail in this document is the arrest of two suspects, J.M. Gant, Lee, and Mullinax. It was known that Mr. Gant knew Mary Phagan and had been at the factory on Saturday afternoons. He had worked at the factory before and was familiar with the building. Gant's sister, Mrs. F.C. Terrell was found at his home at 284 East Linden Street by police officers who gave conflicting accounts of his actions. The officers decided they were on the right track and arrested Mr. Gant on a warrant for the murder of Mary Phagan. Gant was taken to Atlanta and joined Lee and Mullinax at the station building.
The two police officers emerge on Decatur Street, freed from the crowd of happy, laughing blacks that had swarmed them hours earlier. They found Britt in Boots Rogers' car, while a third reporter remained in the car. In the station building, staff sit on chairs and doze off, spending the rest of the day until dawn. A thin smudge of light appears on the eastern smoke-shrouded horizon, the hands of the station clock pointing to his 45 minutes. Officer Anderson receives a message from a Negro who tells him about the dead girl found in the basement of the National Pencil Factory on Forsyth Street, blocks away. Anderson rushed out of the phone booth with the news, waking the sleeping cops to their feet. In case of emergency he machine will arrive in less than a minute. Police Dobbs and Brown were seen standing at the corner of Prior and Decatur Streets as the National Pencil Company car approached. As the four got out of the car, Officer Anderson clenched his fists and banged on the door. Newt Lee led them down a ladder into the darkness, pointing anxiously at a dead body in the corner. The police found her hair ragged, a bloody black hair from a severe blow to the back of her head, an unmistakably Caucasian hair, the blue ribbon she tied was faded and stained, and blood on her lavender silk dress. I saw it covered in A small white slipper was still attached to her right foot. The most important detail of this document is the discovery of two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scribbled jumbled letters. These letters were written by tall black blacks, hired by tall black blacks. Officers then read the note aloud, revealing that the man who wrote it had committed this hellish act. Officers later found the girl's other pair of slippers, a small thin hat, and two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scribbled rude letters. Newt Lee was arrested and taken to a police building where the deceased child was identified. The sentence concludes by stating that an investigation into the killing of a small factory worker has been launched.

Anderson receives a message from a black man that a young girl has been found dead in the basement of the National Pencil Factory on Forsyth Street several blocks away.
The sleepy officers jumped and woke up when Officer Anderson burst out of the phone box with a message. In case of emergency he machine will arrive in less than a minute.

Officers later found the girl's other pair of slippers, a small thin hat, and two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scribbled rude letters. Shortly after Newt Lee's arrest, Newt Lee was taken to a police building to identify the dead child.
Deputy Rogers told officers that he knew a girl who worked in a pencil factory and could probably look at the murdered child and guess who it was. Grace Hicks, who lived at 100 McDonough Road, accompanied him to P.J. Bloomfield's mortuary where his body was laid. Detective Stearns called the caretaker, Frank, and asked him to bring his coat and come with him. On the way, Black asked Frank if he knew a girl named Mary Phagan, and the factory manager said he would check the factory payslips.
On their way to the factory, the three stop at a funeral home to see the body of Mary Phagan. Frank was asked if he knew her girlfriend, and he replied that she could always be found by going to the factory. As the sun rises, the three approach the factory, where news of the murder spreads throughout the city. Among them is N.V. Darley, the factory manager who asked Frank to inform his wife before leaving home. Frank greeted the foreman and entered Frank's office with the supervisor and officers. When the superintendent opened the safe, he found a blank book bearing the name of Mary Phagan. Frank then asked if there was any evidence of wage rotation in the factory. The inspector's next request was to investigate the place where the girl's body was found. Frank went to the control box next to the elevator to unlock it, turned on the machine and the elevator began to descend. After touring the basement where the body was found, the group returned to the second floor. Frank is said to have known Darley for a long time and said that if he could get anything out of him, it would be Darley. When we returned to the first floor, someone asked us to get off at the station building. Frank turned to Darley and asked him to put a new note on his watch. Boots Rogers testified that Frank said little about the murder and watched the scene where Mary Phagan was found dead. The foreman agreed when I told Darley about the new error in the watch. Then Frank took the key out of his pocket, opened the locked door on the right, and took out the Timeslip. He examined the notes, found a pencil in one of the holes, and asked Lee why it was there. The Negro, he said, put a pencil there so he wouldn't make a mistake by drilling the correct hole. Frank unlocked his watch and penciled in "26." April 1913" is written at the end of the note. Frank and the cops board Roger's plane to the police station, where Frank sits on Darley's lap. At the police station, Frank nervously jumps out of the car and speaks quickly and softly. Frank talked about how J.M. Gant, a young man who had just been laid off from the factory, visited the factory on Saturday morning and returned in the afternoon to pick up the shoes he had left behind. Based on this statement, the Criminal Investigative Division launched a search for Gant. Newt Lee was in custody at Frank's home while detectives were looking for multiple suspects.
Mary Phagan was a factory girl who worked hard from morning till night. On her Memorial Day, she drove into town and at the factory she received a wage of $1.20. She took the tram into town and met George Epps, a newspaperman who had always liked her. They were in the car together and Mary promised to meet him at 1:00 a.m. At 12 o'clock that night, George Epps ran to the Phagan household to find out why Mary had not met as she had promised. J.W. Mary's stepfather, Coleman, went into town to see if he could find Mary where she may have been to the Beauty Theater with a few friends. Mrs. Coleman's husband, Mr. Coleman, went to Bijou and watched the people pass by, but never saw the face of the girl he was looking for. He returned to her home at 146 Lindsay Street and comforted her mother, who was grieving at the thought that Mary had gone to Marietta to visit her grandmother. In the early hours of Sunday, April 27, there was a knock at Phagan's door, and her mother's heart flew to her threshold, telling her it was a message from Mary. Neighbor Helen Ferguson stood in the doorway. Her eyes were filled with sorrow, and her mother was heartbroken. The news reached the Phagan family, and Mr. Coleman rushed into town to see the body of the girl who had become more than just a daughter to him. At Bloomfields, undertaker Will Geesling showed her body, which the old man positively identified. This scene later saw hundreds of people staring at the empty walls of the pencil factory. The document's most important detail is the events surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan, a girl who was murdered in the basement of the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta, Georgia. On April 29, the girl's body was buried in an old family cemetery in Marietta, Georgia, 32 miles from Atlanta. On May 7, her body was exhumed by order of the public prosecutor, and doctors performed a thorough examination of her stomach and other vital organs. H.F. Harris was implemented by the State Board of Health. The results of the investigation were known only to him and his lawyer until he testified on the witness stand almost three months later. This crime has shocked the city of Atlanta like never before. The Grace case was a sensation that lasted for months instead of nine days. The mystery surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan and her brutal crimes caused a sensation and remained a mystery for months, not just the required nine days. Newspapers continued to circulate on Monday morning, the day after the murder, and Atlanta police were bombarded with rumors, most of which they claimed had led to the discovery of the culprit. The first wave of public opinion unanimously blamed Newt Lee, but reports from other suspects led to another man being arrested before the end of the first Sunday.
Mullinax was briefly arrested by the police and placed in a separate cell. Another suspect, J.M. Gantt, was arrested in Marietta on Monday. It was known that he knew Mary Phagan and had been at the factory on Saturday afternoons. Ms. Gant's sister, Mrs. F.C. Terrell, was found by police at her mansion at 284 East Linden Street and gave conflicting accounts of Ms. Gant's movements. Officials then decided they were on the right track.
On Monday morning, Gant was arrested with a warrant for the murder of Mary Phagan. He was taken to Atlanta and joined Lee and Mullinax at the station building. Gant spoke candidly, admitting he was fired from the factory a few weeks ago and returned to Marietta to buy shoes. The morning after his imprisonment, Gant attempted to get out of prison by filing a habeas corpus, but he and Mullinax were released before it could take effect. Both gave clear alibi, according to testimony at a May 1 forensic examination.
Police and investigators were outraged by rumors that the girl had been kidnapped and drugged. Former Atlanta boy Paul Bowen, who knew Mary Phagan, was arrested in Houston, Texas and provided an alibi on May 7, the day after his arrest. Police reportedly received help Monday after the murder, when it emerged that pencil factory officials had asked local Pinkerton detectives to help investigate the murder. On Monday, April 28, the coroner's jury met with coroner Paul Donoghue in a metal-armored pencil factory room. Because of the interesting discovery of blood stains on the floor of a metal room, investigators suspected that Phagan's girl had been murdered there, rather than in the basement where she was first suspected. On Tuesday, April 29, the head of the National Pencil Factory, Leo M. Frank, was taken to a police station and taken into custody on charges related to the murder of Mary Phagan.
Since that day, he has never regained his freedom. The key information in this text is that defendant was born in Paris, Texas in 1884 and moved to Atlanta when he was three months old. He attended public schools in Brooklyn and attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. He graduated from Cornell University in 1902 with a degree in mechanical engineering. After that, he got a job with his B.F. as a draftsman.
A solid company in High Park, Massachusetts. Six months later, he returned to his hometown of Brooklyn and took a job as a test-his engineer and draftsman at the National Meter Company in Brooklyn, New York. He remained in that post until about mid-October 1907, when he came south to consult with some Atlanta citizens about the establishment and operation of a pencil factory in Atlanta. At 11:45 a.m. Newt Lee testified that he had arrived at the factory at 4:00 p.m., he left as Frank told him to. Detectives and police say it was face down, but he testified that he found it face up. J.G. Spear of Cartersville said he saw a girl and a man outside a pencil factory Saturday afternoon. George Epps testified that Mary told her Mr. Frank winked at her and said he was suspicious.
E.L. Sentell testified that he saw Mullinax late Saturday night with a girl believed to be Mary Phagan. R. P. Barrett testified that he found bloodstains near Mary's machine on the second floor, suggesting that she may have started the fight for her life there rather than in the dark basement. Gant and Mullinax were released from custody on Thursday afternoon, and an autopsy hearing was temporarily postponed.
Investigators concluded that little Mary Phagan only made a brief visit to the factory on Saturday afternoon to pick up her paycheck and that she never left the factory, prompting investigators to set her sights on solving the mystery of the girl's death. took a step forward. E.L Sentell admitted that she saw Pearl Robinson, not Mary Phagan with Mullinax. Other witnesses who are said to have seen the girl on Saturday afternoon also came forward and said they may have been wrong. This undergrowth was removed, leading authorities to reasonably assume that Mary Phagan had not left the pencil factory alive.
Newt Lee and Leo Frank were transferred to Fulton County Tower pending an investigation at Police Headquarters. Two suspects, Leo M. Frank and Newt Lee, were taken to the Atlanta Tower because of questions about the legality of their detention under a city warrant. The court rulings that brought the two to the Tower were identical except for the names. Franks read to a Fulton County, Georgia jailer that he was obliged to take Leo M. Frank, a suspect in the murder of Mary Phagan, into custody and hold him in custody pending further investigation. Mary Phagan announced her death. After the release of the two men in the tower and two other former suspects, there seemed little doubt that investigators held the key to solving the mystery. There was, however, another man covered by this law, whose arrest was not well publicized at the time, and the newspapers only wrote one paragraph about it. The man would later shock the world with his most sensational testimony ever before the trial began. James “Jim” Conley, a black cleaner employed at the National Pencil Factory, was arrested at 2:00 am.
At 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, he was detained at the Police Headquarters factory along with elevator boy Snowball on suspicion. The sixth arrest in the Phagan murders was made by investigators at 1:00 am. At midnight Thursday, Conley was seen washing his shirt at the faucet behind the building. He claimed that the stains on his shirt were rust stains and that he had washed it to appear before the coroner's inquest when he was summoned. Deductions and clues flooded the detective agency, and many of Frank's friends personally worked on the case to clear the cloud of suspicion hanging over the famous young detective.
He was a prominent figure within the community and popular among a wide range of friends. He was president of a local Hebrew organization, a church and social work leader, and a college graduate. His friends warmly supported him when he was accused of the death of Mary Phagan. People called officers to tell them what to do, and hundreds of letters poured in from the state and six other states. Two women who dreamed of a murder accurately described the killer. When the detectives showed that they really believed either Frank or Lee was the culprit, the atmosphere reached a climax, and Thursday night promised something ugly. City, county, and even state officials took great care. Governor Joseph M. Brown advised Lieutenant General J. Van Holt Nash to keep in touch with the Georgia National Guard from the 5th Georgia Regiment to prepare the army for emergencies. Colonel E. E. Pomeroy, commander of the 5th Regiment, gathered his men at the Auditorium Armory, a few blocks from the tower where Frank and Lee were in prison, and held them there until late at night. At 11:30 am the soldiers were allowed to return to their homes.
Rumors of mob violence were proven unsubstantiated Thursday until the coroner's jury reconvened Monday morning. On Saturday morning, Attorney H.M. Dorsey held a lengthy meeting with Chief Detective Ranford and Coroner Paul Donoghue, which resulted in more witnesses being called into the investigation and the city and state police uniting in the case. It was decided to work on it. The new Fulton County Grand Jury was heard Monday morning by Judge W.D. Eris swore. The judge reminded the coroner's jury of the need to reconsider the Phagan case before indictment for the murder of Mary Phagan. The first witness called was Leo M. Frank, who remained on the stand for three and a half hours, recounting where he was and what he was doing on the day of the murder.
The only other witnesses questioned that afternoon were Mr. and Mrs. Emile Selig, where the Franks lived. For the first time, Frank testified that, formerly living in Brooklyn, New York, he left Brooklyn in October 1907 and went abroad to return to the United States to work for the National Pencil Company, where he became general director. Frank was responsible for managing material purchases, checking factory costs, ensuring orders were properly entered and fulfilled, and overseeing production in general. He came to the factory as usual on Saturday morning and by noon he was doing his usual routine. No one was in his office when he started copying and shipping orders.
At either 12:10 p.m. or 12:05 p.m., the murdered girl came to pick up the envelope. Frank was processing an order in his office when she showed up and demanded her envelope. He handed her the pay envelope knowing that the employee would collect it.
The most important detail in the audiobook is that the witness, Frank, had a basket of money to avoid going to the vault and did not know Mary Phagan's phone number. After he handed her her pay envelope, he did not look and did not mark her payment on her payslips or other records. The girl walked away and asked if the medal had arrived, but the witness explained that Phagan's child had not worked since Monday due to metal shortages. There was $1.20 in the child's pay bag, part of which was from work the previous Friday and Saturday. Witnesses heard her footsteps disappearing into her hallway and went back to her work without thinking about her. He knew the fake and the child's face, but he didn't know what it was called. He thought her name was written on the outside of her pay envelope, but he identified her by her number. Witnesses said she told the girl she was nearly late when she left and that she didn't put herself on her payroll after she gave the girl her envelope. Then Frank made an astonishing remark. Chips Foreman Frank and Chips Foreman Lemmie Quinn chatted for a bit and left at about 12:20pm.
Frank then went to the fourth floor and found two boys who had worked in the factory, Harry Denham, Arthur White and Mrs. White. He returned to the factory soon afterward and met Lee at the police station the Monday after the murder. Frank said of his conversation with Lee at the police station after Monday's murder, investigators told him to interrogate the black man and extract a confession. Frank left the stand as unfazed by the barrage of criticism and questions he received as he had before testifying. Emile Selig and his wife, Mrs. Josephine Selig, also followed Frank on the witness stand. They testified that they met Frank at dinner on Saturdays and Sundays. An inquest into Mary Phagan's death has been postponed until 9:30 a.m. Thursday morning. Six witnesses testified, including Boots Rogers, Lemmie Quinn, Miss Corinthia Hall, Miss Hattie Hall, and J.L. Hall. Watkins and Daisy Jones. Boots Rogers testified that on Sunday morning, when Mary Phagan's body was found, Frank swapped tapes and watches while police were at the factory, at the time Frank removed his seat from the watch. He said it had been stolen, but he testified that this was clearly the case. must be correct.
J.L. Watkins and Miss Daisy Jones underwent a thorough investigation by the coroner to disprove Quinn's statement that he visited the factory on the day of the tragedy. Rogers described Frank's behavior on Sunday morning when police drove him to his home to take him to the factory. Factory employee Corinthia Hall testified that Frank's treatment of the girls at the factory was irreproachable. J. L. Watkins testified that he mistook Dr. Daisy Jones for Mary Phagan when he thought he saw Mary on the street near her home about 5:00 p.m. Saturday. Detective Harry Scott of the Pinkerton Agency was one of the first witnesses, followed by Assistant Superintendent Schiff of the Pencil Factory.
Scott's most interesting testimony was that one of Frank's lawyers, Herbert Haas, asked him to withdraw from the case for the time being. Detective John Black followed Scott on the witness stand and said he found a bloody shirt at Lee's home Tuesday afternoon after the murder. On Saturday afternoon, Newt Lee was called back to the witness stand and informed that Frank was clearly nervous. Frank was recalled to the witness stand and testified on general questions about elevators, time clocks, Saturday afternoon's work, behavior that night and Sunday morning, and factory precautions. As the witnesses finished their testimony for the afternoon, everyone in the courtroom took a deep breath in the idea that the now-famous Phagan case should be left to a group of men summoned for trial. An autopsy jury in the death of Mary Phagan at the National Pencil Factory is tasked with determining who is guilty of murder. One by one, the six members of the jury walked out the door, and the foreman announced the verdict. The coroner's jury ruled that Mary Phagan's death was strangulation and recommended that pencil factory owner Leo M. Frank and night watchman Newt Lee be detained for a grand jury investigation. Mr. Frank was reading the afternoon newspaper in the tower hallway when a lieutenant approached him and told him that the coroner's jury had recommended that he and Lee be sent to a grand jury for autopsy. An important detail in the document is that Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey was so interested in the case that he hired a private investigator to conduct an independent investigation into the tragedy.
It was later discovered that Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey was so intrigued by the case that he had hired a private investigator to independently investigate the tragedy. Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey was convinced that Frank was guilty and that he had used the detective only to gather evidence against Frank, not to work impartially to solve the mystery. Defendant's friends began to explain that he was being persecuted because of his race. Atlanta Jews firmly believed that Frank was innocent and not as outspoken as Dorsey. The town detectives were adamant that Frank was the killer, but he was open to any leads.
The attorney detectives quit their jobs about ten days later and never showed up in Atlanta again. A few weeks after the coroner placed Frank and Newt Lee in the tower as suspects, he heard a young girl talking on the street corner and met with Mary outside the factory while going upstairs to collect the salary she received from Frank. Rumors circulated that he had been waiting for Investigators eventually located the woman in question and found she had been to the factory the Saturday before the tragedy involving the girl, where she died a week later.
Colonel Thomas B. Felder, a prominent Atlanta attorney who prosecuted a high-profile transplant case at a pharmacy and earned the lasting animosity of South Carolina Governor Cole Breese, has addressed the residents of Bellwood County. announced that he was speaking as follows. He was hired to find and prosecute the girl's murderer where Mary Phagan lived. He said he believes the killer was actually Leo M. Frank, and the Georgians have unraveled the mystery and provided enough evidence to identify and convict Frank and others. He said he needed to hire any detective he could get. They were guilty when Frank was innocent. Felder was a personal friend of William J. Mr. Burns and Mr. Burns had supported efforts to impeach Governor Breese. Felder said that if the public supported him by donating to the foundation, he would have Burns come to Atlanta and start searching for the Factory Girls Slayer.
Subscriptions quickly picked up, and on May 18, he received a Special Counsel. C.W. Toby came to Atlanta to settle the loose ends and smooth things over. The document's most important detail is the allegation that Colonel Felder tried to bribe the GC. February used a stenographer to steal certain affidavits and documents in the Phagan case. Secretary Ranford accused Colonel Felder of trying to bribe the GC. February used a stenographer to steal certain affidavits and documents in the Phagan case. Dictatorship records show Felder was negotiating the purchase of certain affidavits that were to be submitted to the city's Criminal Investigation Department, alleging that the boss and some of his members had engaged in open and proven corruption.
The deal was brokered by a Tennessee adventurer who knew Felder during a transplant examination at a pharmacy. Mayor James G. Woodward was also involved and allegedly approved an effort by Felder to get the goods to detectives. This abuse battle almost devolved into a fistfight when the two principals met in court. The Felder v. Rumford dispute was the result of a grand jury investigation into the high-profile Dictogram case. Felder was indicted for defamation against Ranford, who was also indicted for defamation against Felder, and several publicized attacks on each other were made. This has increased public interest in the crime, making it difficult to quell rumors of an invisible hand at work. On Friday, May 23, a Fulton County grand jury considered a bill indicting Frank for murder. The witness heard on the first day of the session was Dr. P. Barrett found the girl's hair on the second floor of the factory near the same spot as the blood stain.
J.N. Detective Stars and he W. Rogers was one of the key witnesses at the grand jury's second day meeting, even though hundreds of people declared that Frank would never be indicted. Key witnesses from the second session included Harry Scott, Pinkerton, and Miss Monteen Stover. The girl was a new character in the case and a very important witness. She told the grand jury that she entered Superintendent Frank's office at exactly 12:10 p.m. and waited for five minutes without seeing Frank or the officer, just as she was about to collect her paycheck.
The girl did not testify at the coroner's inquest, but investigators admitted they wanted her as a key witness. Shortly after discovering Monteen Stover, Harry Scott of the Pinkertons and John Black of the Metropolitan Police visited Frank in the Tower and asked him if he had left his office between noon and 12:50 on Saturday. Frank replied that he hadn't left the office since Miss Hall until he went up to the fourth floor to tell Arthur White's wife that he had the building locked. The girl's testimony was the only flaw the police found in Frank's story told at her inquest, so the attorney took the testimony very seriously. All the points confirmed by her witnesses turned out to be true. Monteee Stover's story was considered conclusive, and when Scott followed her to the witness stand and spoke of Frank's repeated allegations that he had failed to leave the office within the prescribed period, the grand jury returned the truthful explanation. Five Jews participated in the grand jury, an unusual number for Fulton County, and there were many rumors that the indictment would be blocked before the indictment was returned but even if one vote was cast against the bill, each lawmaker signed the indictment, so that fact never became public. Frank didn't expect to be indicted, so he confidently told his friends that a grand jury would never indict him for the crimes in the Tower cell. He was in charge of virtually all sides of the case and took the news calmly.
The most important details in this audiobook text are the events leading up to the verdict in the trial of Leo M. Frank. Solicitor Dorsey concluded his speech at 12:00 p.m. Monday and turned to Judge Roan, asking him to charge the jury without prejudice or bias. The gong on the Catholic church a block away from the courthouse sounded with each intonation of guilty, guilty. Guilty. Guilty.
As the final words sounded through the room, the gong on the Catholic church a block away from the courthouse sounded with each intonation of guilty, guilty. Guilty. Guilty. As the final words sounded through the room, the gong on the Catholic church a block away from the courthouse sounded with each intonation of guilty, guilty. Guilty.
Guilty. As the final words sounded through the room, the gong on the Catholic church a block away from the courthouse sounded with each intonation of guilty, guilty. Guilty. Guilty. As the final words sounded through the The most important details in this text are that the jury was taken from the courtroom shortly before 01:00 p.m. and taken across the street to a cafe for dinner.
Ten minutes later, solicitor Dorsey was picked up and carried on the shoulders of the crowd. An hour later, the jury was returned to the courthouse to begin its deliberation. Shortly after 03:00, foreman Windburn of the jury wrapped on the door and told Deputy Sheriff Plennie Minor that a verdict had been reached. On the second ballot, Judge Roan was summoned from his home and solicitor Dorsey was called. The defendant had waved his presence and remained in his cell at the tower to prevent a possible outbreak. When the jurymen took their seats, the solemn expression which interpreted could mean but one thing. The foreman arose in his seat and held the verdict in his hand, reading. We, the jury, find the accused guilty.
The jury was sent, and Rosser argued that the state should show only general character. Attorney Dorsey replied that while the state cannot bring a specific lawsuit, the defendant's statement that he never had a woman in his office cast doubt on that stage of his character. Attorney Rosser disagreed, arguing that witness testimony was submitted to the defense and that James Conley's testimony was refuted. Judge Roan ruled that testimony was admissible if it contradicted the testimony of one of the defense witnesses. Attorney Rosser responded to the ruling by requiring the defense witness to be brought back to the table for cross-examination before the lawyer can testify inconsistently with the defense witness. The jury returned to court and Miss Griffin remained on the witness stand. The most important detail in this audio-video document is the three witnesses who testified against Leo M. Frank. When the first witness, Miss Martis Cato, was asked if she knew Frank's general character about women, she said "no." second witness, Mrs. Asked if he knew Frank's general personality when it comes to relationships, RM Dunigan said, "No." Third witness, Mrs. H.J. Johnson was asked if she was aware of Frank's general reputation for women, but she didn't say much.
The defense was unable to cross-examine all but addresses. Dorsey said one of the women was willing to testify that Frank made a lewd proposal to her in her private room and used a wrench before fleeing her room. Dewey Huwell, who was brought to Atlanta from the Good Shepherd's home in Cincinnati, said Frank knew Mary Phagan and saw him conversing with her. Witnesses were asked how many times they spoke with Mary Phagan and how many times they put their hands on her shoulders. He called her Maria and stood near her when she spoke.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, August 20, both sides were taking a break, and it took less than an hour to submit the rebuttal. Witnesses and doctors' testimony contradicted Dr. Harris and pawnbroker Nathan Sinkowitz vowed that Mie McCoy pawned his watch in January and that it would remain his property until August. Some disputed the tram driver's statement that little George Epps was not with him when he came into town on the day Mary died.
A key fact in the audiobook is that Frank punched Mary Phagan in the left eye and threw her to the ground before dropping her body down an elevator shaft and hovering around the factory until Frank left. Arnold's job was to convince the jury that Mary Phagan's murder was as easily explained by Conley's theory as it was by Frank's. The charges centered on Frank because he was the only man in the factory. And it wasn't until long after Frank was arrested that no one noticed the opening of the elevator, the most crime-prone part of the factory. Stearns may think he's fighting for truth and justice, but it's like the Court of Appeal decision he read out this morning. Evidence obtained through persecution, torture, or third degree is dangerous evidence. A key detail in the document is that Jim Conley, a black man, was able to come up with a story to protect himself from detectives who tried to accuse Frank, and that the detectives feared being criticized if they did not proceed with the case. It means that against Frank. The document also notes that investigators fear criticism if they do not pursue a case against Frank, and that the attorney general has vowed to enforce the law impartially. The document also notes that investigators fear criticism if they do not pursue a case against Frank, and that the attorney general has vowed to enforce the law impartially. The most important detail in this document is that, apart from Dalton, he is the only other male who has been in the factory with a woman between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. when Frank was always having lunch. The man said he only saw Dalton enter through the front door and did not know where he entered the building. The text also discusses the fact that the Clark Woodworks Company and the Pencil Factory used the same entrance, and that Dalton left a slimy snake trail wherever he went to the factory or the Woodworks Company. . The sentence ends by asking if there is anything else about this factory that makes it different from other factories. The lyrics are about a Georgia factory that had star-piercing eyes, Black's watching eyes, Pat Campbell's eagle-like eyes, and Scott's eyes. The Atlanta riots raid a factory, and the Beavers form a sub-squad to hunt down the bad guys. Would you have run away if the factory had been contaminated? If Schiff and Dalton had left the factory messy, they would be on the run by now.
An important detail in the document is that the evidence showed Schiff and Darley were immoral, and that Attorney Hugh M. Dorsey's speech was the most notable at the trial. He was on site for more than 11 hours, speaking over three days, beginning with the Friday afternoon attorney list deadline. His prosecution against Frank is perhaps the toughest ever against a defendant in a national murder trial. The crime was extraordinary, a horrific crime, a most heinous crime, a diabolical crime, and it required vigilant, earnest, conscientious effort on the part of the detective and defendant. The four Messers who played against us were Arnold and Rosser, and two Messer Haas.
This case was important because of the importance, reputation and skill of the attorneys hired against us, and the manner in which these gentlemen argued this case was exceptional. The main content of the text is that the defendant and his friends were slandered and abused by investigators, and that they used stereotypical expressions such as prejudice and perjury when alleging the case. The defendant's mother has accused the defendant of being a dog, and investigators are disappointed that the case is not based on the fact that the defendant is Jewish. The defendant's ancestors were civilized when our ancestors ate cannibalism, and the defendant respects this defendant's race of origin. Defendant's ancestors praise the race that gave birth to Disraeli and Jeremiah, that our ancestors were cannibalistic and civilized.
Father Benjamin, Strauss, Rabbi Mark, Abe Hamel, and Swartz are all well-known figures in American and British history. Father Benjamin was a great lawyer and Strauss was a diplomat who sank on the Titanic. Rabbi Mark was a business associate of Father Benjamin. Abe Hamel died in New York and Swartz paid a fine for stabbing a girl. These examples show that this great people are subject to the same laws as Africans. David was once a great man, but he put old Uriah at the head of a great battle to take his wife. Benedict Arnold was brave and enjoyed the trust of all his people until he betrayed his country. Oscar Wilde was an Irish knight who had a high reputation until his conviction. His cross-examination should be read with admiration.
The point of this article is that good character is worth no penny in lawsuits, and crime is not just for the poor. Examples include McCune, Richardson, Henry Clay Beatty, and other highly intelligent individuals who have committed serious crimes. These examples show that good character is not worth a penny when you have a criminal record, and that crime is not just for the poor. Good character is not worth a penny when accused. And this crime is not just for the poor. The investigators in the case were vilified and denounced, but a jury of Virginia farmers destroyed Beatty and elevated the federal public to a higher level.
Crippen of England was a doctor of high standing who killed his wife because of an infatuation for another woman. Jim Conley was impeached except by those with their hands in the till of the National Pencil Factory, and his general character was unimpeached except by the words of the hirelings of the National Pencil Factory. His relations with Miss Rebecca Carson were shown to have gone to the dressing room with him, and his own witness, Miss Jackson, sustains Jim Conley and Miss Kitchens, who worked on the fourth floor, as to what they did April 26. Jim Conley, Truman McCreary, Monteen Stover, Lemme Quinn, Dalton, Daisy Hopkins, Ivy Jones, Albert McKnight, and Mignola McKnight are all defendants in the case. Jim Conley is a Negro who gets his living from the pencil factory, and has sustained Truman McCreary, Monteen Stover, Lemme Quinn, Dalton, Daisy Hopkins, the blood on the second floor, Holloway's testimony, Ivy Jones' testimony, Albert McKnight's testimony, and Mignola McKnight's repudiated affidavit. Jim Conley has also written for Truman McCreary, Monthine Stover, Leme Quinn, Dalton, Daisy Hopkins, Blood Upstairs, Holloway's Testimony, Ivy Jones' Testimony, Albert McKnight's Testimony, and Mignola McKnight's Verified rejected affidavits. Jim Conley's story is based on the fact that no black man in the history of the race has ever written a memo reporting a crime. The note stated that Mary had been attacked on her way back from a natural disaster, and that her only restroom she knew was in a metal room upstairs. Frank's testimony was Jim, who said that Frank's mind was troubled by the problem of disposing of the corpse and that he decided it would be better to get a coupon book and have everyone sign for the money they got. This corroborates Conley's description. The fact that there is no record to prove that Frank has paid off the loan supports Jim Conley's account that the problem of disposing of the bodies weighed heavily on Frank's mind.
An important detail in the document is that defendant Jim Conley did not enter the jury room because his heart and conscience were focused on the crime he had just committed. Frank cheered me up when I told him I had relatives in Brooklyn. Mr. Rosser asked Conley whether Minsey was a myth or a diabolical perjury, and if he didn't produce him, why would he produce him for a jury? The defendant's actions, words, and circumstances prove his guilt in the murder of young Mary Phagan, and he failed his duty and broke his oath. woman. Both the defendant's wife, Mrs. Lucille Franck, and her mother, Mrs. Ray Franck, seemed concerned when Coleman interrupted him as he gagged the girl in the petticoat.
Frank took the stand Monday afternoon and gave the most remarkable testimony ever given in a Georgia criminal court. He spoke for three short pauses, interrupted twice by Lawyer Dorsey, and once for a sip of water. When he finished speaking, his voice was so clear that the audience gasped. After Frank's argument, the courtroom fell into complete silence for ten seconds, then almost simultaneously broken by Leo Frank's sobbing and Arnold's terse dismissal order. Defendant left the stand with the same restraint and brisk pace that he had entered the stand four hours earlier.
He returned to his position again between his wife and mother, her mother cradling her arms and sobbing on his shoulder. He tried to comfort her with her tender affection, and her mother held her son's head in her hands and she kissed him passionately. When Frank was taken away by the sheriff, he was still convulsing. Leo Frank has been cool since he was born in Paris, Texas, and he's mastered that skill. He solved complex mathematical problems in his head. He briefly recounted his life, recounting how he attended school in Brooklyn, attended college, founded the National Pencil Company, and traveled to Europe to learn how to make pencils.
He recounted his actions on the day of his alleged murder of Mary Phagan, contradicting the testimony of the black Jim Conley, whose testimony brought him closer to the gallows. He also refuted CB Dalton's affidavit stating that two women had come to his office for immoral reasons. Frank told his story as he left the booth and explained the work involved in preparing the factory's weekly financial report. This was part of a circumstantial alibi. He argued about numbers and calculated intelligently as if he were not carrying the burden of life.

The most important detail of this text is what happened after Miss Hall left the office. A little girl named Mary Phagan came into the office and asked for her pay envelope. She came in with Leme Quinn, the factory manager, and told her foreman that she could not be kept out of the factory even if it was a holiday. The foreman asked if Mr. Schiff had come down, but he replied that the foreman had not. The foreman then asked if Mr. Schiff had come down, to which he replied that the foreman had not.

The narrator went downstairs, collected the papers, locked the desk, washed his hands, put on his hat and coat, and locked the inner office door and the door to the street.
From the moment the first whistle blew at 12:00 p.m., the narrator did not leave the company office until 12:45. Perhaps the narrator went to the bathroom to answer nature's call. Because when the vault door was open, like on that morning, it was impossible to see inside the vestibule.
As Frank was walking home from work, he heard a clock chime outside. He went to his office, opened the safe and desk, and began working on his financial reports. When he returned to his office, he noticed security guard Newt Lee coming down the stairs. He offered bananas in a yellow bag, but Frank declined. He said he could go for an hour and a half if it was convenient for him, but he would be back at 06:30 pm.
He went down the stairs leading outside and Frank went back to his office. The most important detail in this text is the details of Frank's duties at the factory. He had to search the entire building every half hour and stamp his time card. He was also responsible for guarding and locking the back door, as well as powering the electricity during fires. He was also responsible for removing the watch strip from the watch and replacing it with a blue ink watch with a rubber date stamp of April 28 on the underside opposite the word "Date".
While doing laundry, he heard Newt Lee ring the clock, recorded the first blow of the night, and went downstairs to the porch to await his departure. The narrator went down the stairs, put on his hat and coat, and walked down the stairs to the front door. When they opened the door, they saw Newt Lee conversing with J.M. Gantt, who had been fired from the company two weeks earlier. When the narrator asks Gantt what he wants, Gantt replies that he has shoes in the mailroom. The narrator tells Newt that it's okay to let Gantt inside, and Gantt walks in while Newt Lee closes and locks the door behind him.

On Sunday, April 27th at 7:00 am., town detective Stearns identified him as Mr. Frank, president of the National Pencil Company, and asked him to come to the factory at once. The narrator was getting dressed for the people who were picking them up in the car. When the car arrived, the narrator's wife went down the stairs to open the door. She wore a nightgown and a robe over it.
The narrator follows his wife downstairs and asks what's wrong. Two witnesses, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Black, disagree with the narrator as to where the conversation took place. They ask the narrator if he knows Mary Phagan, a girl who works at the dump, and want the narrator to come with them to the factory. The narrator finishes dressing her, accompanies her to her car, and hurries to her funeral home. They then take the narrator to the funeral home, where one of the two asks the guard to show him the way inside the corpse. An important detail in this document is that the Director walked with Mr. Rogers and Mr. Black through a long, dark corridor before arriving in a small room containing the body of a little girl. When the guards pulled out the cloth, they found a deep scar on his forehead above his left eye, a string around his neck, and a piece of white cloth. After examining her body, the director confirmed that the girl was the one who woke up the previous afternoon to receive the money. They then left the premises and drove to the pencil factory, where Frank talked through the factory about the chip. This passage tells the story of Frank going to the police station and then returning home. After dinner, he took a 10-minute drive downtown on Georgia Avenue, entered Undertaker Bloomfield, and saw a large crowd near outside. Once he was inside, he found quite a few people working in the pencil factory, including Mr. Herbert Schiff, Nevada. Darley, Wade Campbell, Alonzo Mann, Mr. Spielter, Mr. Vijinci. He talked to them for a few minutes and noticed that people were lining up to see the bodies, and some were coming in from the factory. He queued back to his room and remained in the morgue for several minutes. There the girl was swept clean, her hair perfectly tidy and straightened, and the rest of her body covered with a clean white sheet. He returned to the front of the company and chatted with Herbert Schiff and Mr. Vijinci. Mr. Darley, Mr. Schiff and Mr. Frank visited police headquarters and Chief Rumford's office to speak with Newt Lee. Investigators showed them two notes, an unused scrap of paper, and a pencil they said they found in the basement near the body. Citing attempts to decipher the notes, Frank said he went to the police station on Monday, where he questioned investigators. He also said he was taken to a pencil factory and found blood on the floor of the metal room. Frank also said he kept Harry Scott with him.
The narrator recounted his actions on Tuesday when he was arrested at a pencil factory and taken to the police station. Detective John M. Stearns obtained a sample of his handwriting by dictating to the narrator using the original notes found near the body. At midnight, Detectives Scott and Black walked in and asked the narrator to speak. They raised the possibility that the couple were ushered into the factory at night by the night watchman Newt Lee. The narrator said he had never spoken alone with Mute Lee, and if he had, he would have ended the story long ago.
Black then told the narrator that he could tell him everything he knew about the events at the Pencil Factory that Saturday night, or they would both go to hell. The most important details of this text are the allegations and allegations made against the defendant during the trial. These included the fact that the defendant did not want to speak to investigators; including the fact that they were taken to The defendant always answered the investigator openly and frankly, and generally discussed the matter with the investigator on the basis of his knowledge. Further, on Monday morning, without anyone picking up the defendant, he was taken to the office building, factory, and headquarters to answer all questions and discuss the matter generally.
On Monday and Tuesday, the narrator answered questions from police officers and made statements. At midnight, they decided to talk to the narrator, who was still going to help them. On May 3, Detectives Black and Scott came to the narrator's cell, wanting to speak to him alone with no friends around. The narrator decided to stay away from them and didn't want to have anything to do with them. On May 4, Detectives Black and Scott came to the narrator's cell, wanting to speak to him alone with no friends around. An important detail in the document is that Mr. Frank is an honorable soul and is suspicious of Mr. Darley, who could not have committed such a crime. Mr. Black tweeted and said nothing was done. This shows how much a person can trust either the town detective or the Pinkerton detective. Frank denied suggestions that he knew Conley could write and he had not told authorities. This shows how much a person can trust either the town detective or the Pinkerton detective.
A jury was sent, and attorney Rosser argued that states should show only general character. Attorney Dorsey replied that while the state cannot bring a specific lawsuit, the defendant's statement that he never had a woman in his office cast doubt on that stage of his character. Attorney Rosser disagreed, arguing that witness testimony was submitted to the defense and that James Conley's testimony was refuted. Judge Roan ruled that testimony was admissible if it contradicted the testimony of one of the defense witnesses. Attorney Rosser responded to the ruling by requiring the defense witness to be brought back to the table for cross-examination before the lawyer can testify inconsistently with the defense witness. The jury returned to court and Miss Griffin remained on the witness stand. The most important detail in this document is the three witnesses who testified against Leo M. Frank. When the first witness, Miss Myrtice Cato, was asked if she knew Frank's general character about women, she said "no." second witness, Mrs. Asked if he knew Frank's general personality when it comes to relationships, C.D. Donegan said, "No." Third witness, Mrs. H.J. Johnson was asked if she was aware of Frank's general reputation for women, but she didn't say much.
The defense was unable to cross-examine all but addresses. Dorsey said one of the women was willing to testify that Frank made a lewd proposal to her in her private room and used a wrench before fleeing her room. Dewey Hewell, who was brought to Atlanta from the Good Shepherd's home in Cincinnati, said Frank knew Mary Phagan and saw him conversing with her. Witnesses were asked how often they spoke with Mary Phagan and how often they put their hand on her shoulder. He called her Maria, and stood near her when she spoke.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, August 20, both sides were taking a break, and it took less than an hour to submit the rebuttal. Witnesses and doctors' testimony contradicted Dr. Harris and pawnbroker Nathan Sinkowitz vowed that M.E. McCoy pawned his watch in January and that it would remain his property until August. Some disputed the tram driver's statement that little George Epps was not with him when he came into town on the day Mary died.
The trial of one of the South's most conscientious lawyers, Luther Rosser, was a heavy burden for all lawyers. In his first three weeks, Luther lost 25 pounds of his weight, Dorsey the attorney turned pale and nervous, and Ruben Arnold and Frank Hooper showed signs of extreme strain. The defense team worked under even stricter conditions and received dozens of threatening letters from across the state. The Nashville, Tennessee man spent at least $100 to follow Rosser's proposal and written instructions on how to proceed with the defense's arguments. Tensions escalated throughout the city during the fourth week of the trial. During the trial of Leo M. Frank, the crowd around the courtroom became louder and more protesting. His mother and wife also bore the burden. Leo Frank occassionally sobbed and stroked her husband's hands, list to praise and criticism from witnesses. Atlanta Synagogue Rabbi David Marx has refused to travel to Europe to comfort President Bennett Bliss Moses Frank. The trial was the longest in Southern history, and Frank presided over it, as did prisoners who had ever stood on the scaffold. The state never attacked his spirituality, and even Lawyer Dorsey described him as a spiritual giant with brain capable of accomplishing great things if he was pointed in the right direction. The case's lead attorneys, Luther Z. Rosser and Reuben R. Arnold and Hugh M. Dorsey have all expressed support for the defendants in this action. Luther Z. Rosser argued that Arnold was the victim of suspicious circumstances and that his story was unique and irrefutable. Arnold also argued that the state was building a case based on Conley's testimony, and that while the black main remained in the police station cell, it would happen or he would die.
Attorney Hugh M. Dorsey argues that Arnold was a moral gentleman and that the state filed a lawsuit based on Conley's testimony that he stood and fell while the black man remained in the police station cell, it would appen or he would die.

Attorney Frank A. Hooper had accused of Leo Frank of strangling Mary Phagan to restore her honor. He had taken her young girl on a long drive on the Haightville Line on the Saturday morning before her murder, and had made several attempts to persuade her to get out of her car. One of the factory workers, Emily Mayfield, was in the changing room when Frank opened the door to check. The lawyer brought up the fact that Frank and Conley were on the fourth floor of the factory at the same time on Tuesday after the murder, and Frank pulled him aside and advised him to be a good lad.
The most important detail in this text is the witness that corroborates Frank's alibi. Helen Curran, who lives at 160 Ashby Street, said she saw Frank outside a drug store on Whitehall and Alabama streets at 1:10 a.m. Mrs. M.G. Michael, from Athens, testified that she met the factory manager around 2:00 p.m. on the day of the murder. Mr. A.B Levy said he saw Mr. Frank get off the streetcar at 1:00 a.m. on Georgia Avenue, half a block from his home.

Rich and Brothers store on Whitehall Street. Half an hour later on Whitehall and Alabama streets. Several former factory workers were subpoenaed and testified that they had never seen inappropriate behavior in the factory. The most important detail of this document is that Frank was a guest of his father and mother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Selig and he said he was reading a newspaper and drew his attention to a joke he found in the newspaper.
Attorney Dorothy, who cross-examined these witnesses, sought to establish that Frank had attempted to attract the attention of those present by appearing careless that night by laughing out loud. On the afternoon of Saturday, August 16, Mrs. Ray Frank took the witness stand and identified a letter addressed to her son's wealthy uncle, Mr. Frank, who was in New York en route to Europe. The letter was addressed to her wealthy uncle Mr. Frank, who was in New York at the time on his way to Europe.

Frank's good character. were girls. E.H. Carson, one of the first witnesses called, testified that Frank was a good person and had never heard a word criticized about the factory. Other workers at the factory also testified that the manager's character was beyond doubt. Attorney Arnold asked witnesses if he ever met Leo M. Frank for immoral reasons, and the answer was a resounding no. Miss Eileen Jackson was subpoenaed as a witness by the defense, but the prosecution relied on her astonishing testimony.
She explained that Frank had come to the door of the women's locker room on the second floor of the factory to see the room's inhabitants. Weeks after the killing, Atlanta Journal reporter Harley Branch said Conley denied seeing Lemmie Quinn enter the factory on Saturday, April 26. When James Conley pretended to hide the body on the day of the crime, his aim was to obtain the doctor's testimony. Rebut William Owens. Nearly everyone at the factory said Conley had a bad temper and wouldn't believe him if he swore. Some of the girls reported that they lent him money that he did not return.
At Wednesday noon-time, Judge Roan overturned the ruling, announcing that Conley's testimony about sexual perversion and that she had previously nursed Frank would be removed from the record. Attorney Arnold moved to allow access to the court, but Judge Roan refused to exclude the audience and the attorney filed a miscarriage of justice. After Dalton left the witness stand Thursday morning, Dr. F.H. Harris had finished testifying and the situation was dormant. The state defense immediately commenced litigation, and Dr. Leroy Childs, Dr. Harris speculates. Pinkerton detective Harry Scott was stopped by the defense, and Arnold tried to speculate from him that Conley might have been trained to testify to the police.
The most important detail in this text is that of Jim Conley's trial. On Friday, the eighth day of the trial, the defense presented a cardboard model of the pencil factory, which was later used to illustrate testimony at the trial. They attacked George Epps' testimony. M. Matthews and W. T. Hollis were the drivers and conductors of the car driven into town by the girl on the day of the murder.
Construction plans for all floors of the pencil factory were also announced on this day. The second week of the trial ended at noon on Saturday with Franks Young's clerk Herbert Schiff taking the stand. He explained that it was Frank's habit to prepare financial reports every Saturday afternoon, a task he could not complete in less than 2-3 hours. He faced one of the toughest cross-examinations in the case, but his testimony was unwavering. On Monday, August 11, the defense began attacking Dr. Conley again.
The most important detail of this text is the statement of Dr. Willis Westmoreland Former State Board of Health Chairman, Ph.D. ,Dr. T.H. Hancock. Other witnesses swore not to believe CB, including J.C. Olmsted and Dr. George Bachman. Dalton swore. Miss Hattie Hall, a stenographer and clerk at the Montague Brothers, was summoned to add a link to the time alibi. Veteran and mathematician Joel Hunter explained that Frank couldn't finish the financial report in less than three hours. On Wednesday, the 15th day of the trial, attorneys for the accused chief defied the state to name witnesses who would defame him. Two former Cornell classmates now from New York came to Atlanta just to testify, while one or two of Frank's other school friends and college professors made the long trip south to teach. He met a former classmate of mine and helped him during times of necessity.
The most important detail of this text is the statement of Dr. William Owens described how he and three other men carried a 110-pound sack, which weighed as much as Mary Phagan's body, to the basement, and other actions Conley and Frank allegedly took on the day of the murder. reported. During cross-examination, Attorney Hooper tried to devalue the experiment and to prove that the doctor attempted to devalue the experiment. Owens was very interested in the case. When John Ashley Jones took the podium to speak about Frank's character and the witnesses were handed over for cross-examination, Dorsey immediately stood up and asked question after question. The defendant's mother, Mrs. Ray Frank, returned to her seat and turned to the attorney. The court was thrown into turmoil when Attorney Arnold suggested that Mrs. Lucille Frank should retire for a while.
Madame Lucille Franck showed great emotion for the first time since her husband's trial began, her defendant's face blushing as her lawyers posed sensational questions to her witnesses. Mr. Dorsey then continued his questioning, asking her Mrs. Lucille Frank, if she knew Tom Blackstock, the way Frank stood staring at Gordy Jackson, what he wanted Lula McDonald and Rachel Prater, Mrs. Pearl Dodson and her what he said when he put money into his daughter. Hands and how she hit him with a wrench. Attorney Dorsey filed a motion to bar Leo and Ray Frank from court on Thursday morning, August 14.

Judge Roan refused to comply with the request, even though the women had agreed through Arnold's attorney that they would not interfere further.
The second week of the trial began on Monday, August 4, with the introduction of James Conley, a black factory cleaner and the only witness directly linking Frank to the crime. The public waited anxiously for the Negroes to take their stand, and when it was announced that the Negroes would be interrogated that day, a large, never-before-seen crowd surrounded the courtroom. From the bench, Judge L.S. Roan told all the women present to leave. Mr. James Conley took the stand and told glibly how the dead girl's body was taken to the cellar under the direction of Superintendent Frank. He once caught Frank exhibiting a compromising attitude toward women in his factory office, monitored him at the front door of the building on Saturday afternoons and early on a public holiday, and on the 2nd, confirmed that Frank was with a woman. made sensational claims that they were on secret dates.
Witnesses said Friday afternoon that Frank had instructed them to return to the factory on Saturday morning. The most important detail in this document is Conley's conversation with Mr. Frank on Saturday morning. Conley tells how he went to the dry cleaners in the capital and met Frank on Nelson and Forsyth streets. Back at the factory, Dorsey asked if he could turn the knob on the front door so no one could enter.

The most important detail in the document is that the young woman, Mr. Frank, and the witness were talking about a young woman who wanted to borrow money. The witness pointed to his right shoulder and said, 'Don't let Dolly see me answering the lawyer's question.'
The Negroes said they saw Leme Quinn, Mary Phagan, and Monteen Stover enter the building in order of their names. After going upstairs, witnesses heard footsteps heading towards the office, then towards the metal room. The next thing he heard was her screaming. The state attorney general argued, but the witness heard no more. Who was the next person the witness saw going up the stairs? Miss Monteen Stover was wearing tennis shoes and a red coat. She stayed up for a while, but she came down again. Then Tiptus came out of the metal department and Tiptus ran back. The narrator then heard Mr. Frank stamping on them. The narrator got up and locked the door, then sat back on the box for a while. Finally I heard Mr. Frank's whistle. Just minutes after the stamp, the narrator heard him whistle.
An important detail in the audio recording is that Mr. Frank was standing at the top of the stairs, shaking, rubbing his hands together, and acting strangely. He had a little cord in his hand and his eyes were wide open and wild. Conley testified that Frank had returned to the medal room and that Mary Phagan had resisted his advances. Frank said there was a fight and the girl fell and injured herself. Conley said that Frank was aware that he was different from other men and interfered with the young Superintendent having a strange relationship with another girl. Direct questioning of Conley lasted less than two hours, and his cross-examination was perhaps the most notable feature of the trial. Luther Z. Rosser bombarded Negroes with questions to bring them down, but Negroes never lost their minds. James Conley's trial was a test of physical endurance. Attorney Arnold appeared to testify, but Mr Dorsey objected and Judge Roan ordered Rosser to continue the inquiry. Conley's testimony was transcribed by four stenographers in a half hour shift, and defense attorneys received a copy of the official testimony two hours after it was entered into the minutes.
Attorney Rosser asked him about cases he had seen before, and although Black did not hesitate to answer, he frequently replied, "Oh, I remember." Asked him about the case, and although Black didn't hesitate to answer, he often replied, "Oh, I remember."

The most important detail in the document is the women's first visit to the factory, which happened about two weeks later on Saturday.
Witnesses were told that Frank had come early in the morning and said he wanted to preach in the afternoon. Frank returned to the office at about 9:00 p.m. that afternoon, and shortly afterwards Miss Daisy Hopkins walked in, followed her up the stairs, and saw her enter the office. Frank snapped his fingers and bowed his head, then went downstairs and looked at the front door. The next visit was before Thanksgiving, early in the winter, but Negro noticed the trap and skillfully avoided it. During questioning, the witness was instructed to describe what happened the next time the woman visited the factory.
The most important detail of the document is that the Negro used the same words every time he spoke on the subject, and that the woman had the same white hair as Mr. Hooper. She wore a green suit, black skirt and white shirt. Rosser then questioned Conley about her last Thanksgiving, when she was again Frank's lookout. Ms Conley was waiting by the door for her woman to come, she said she saw her in Mr Frank's office about three days ago. When I found the boxes in Mr. Frank's office about three days ago, he was stacking a few boxes on top and noticed they looked fine. This Thanksgiving morning, Mr. Conley closed the door behind him. A key detail in the document is that of Conley's affidavit to the police, which shows that he lied to investigators' questioning. The defense unexpectedly demanded that all of Conley's remarks about Frank's observations over the past few days and the remarks of a black person attacking his character be deleted from the record. It was the most scathing case of the entire case, in which the defense unexpectedly deleted from the record all of Conley's statements regarding Frank's observations over the past few days, as well as statements by a black man who attacked his character. moved to A key detail in the document is that of Conley's affidavit to the police, which shows that he lied to investigators' questioning. The defense unexpectedly demanded that all of Conley's remarks about Frank's observations over the past few days and the remarks of a black person attacking his character be deleted from the record. Attorney Arnold requested a jury and announced that he wanted the testimony removed from the record because it was irrelevant, immaterial, incompetent and unacceptable. He also demanded that all of Conley's testimony regarding the defendant's surveillance be removed from the record, as well as some black testimony that attacked Frank's character and was voiced through questioning by his lawyers. . . Judge Loon spoke up and said Mr. Arnold wanted to retract his testimony regarding the observation. Attorney Hooper said granting the motion would be a gimmick with the court. If her appeal had been filed at the time this testimony was made, the appeal was granted. The most important detail of this passage is that Frank bowed his head and his mother put her arms around his neck and tapped him on the shoulder, whispering in her ear. Attorney Dorsey addressed the court, arguing that this evidence was admissible. Mrs. Rosser interrupted him and asked him to leave it out as it was irrelevant. Lawyer Dorsey replied that it would not be right to allow this gentleman to give this witness two days of rigorous ordeal, cross-examine his testimony, and then come asking him to exclude certain parts of his testimony. That would make it impossible to corroborate this witness's testimony regarding Frank's actions.
Lawyers have announced that more witnesses are waiting to corroborate Jim Conley's testimony. Had the evidence been deleted from the record, he argued, the state's case would have been greatly damaged. He appealed to the court to warn his lawyers that the challenge must be timely because it deals with the operations of the National Pencil Factory and the disclosure of Conley's affairs with six different men. . He also asked the defense to present the judgments handed down over the past five years against this principle because of the slow progress in the courts. The most important detail of this passage is the meaning of Mr. M's testimony. Defendant's wife Frank during Frank's indictment by Attorney Dorsey.
Ms. Frank rose from her seat to the waiting room and returned to the courtroom with new tears in her eyes. Arnold described the evidence in question as "miserable and rotten" and said the defendant suffered a great deal from being involved in the case. Although he sympathized with the girl's parents more than anyone else, he said trying to convict the defendant by bringing up illegal and irrelevant evidence was tantamount to murder. The state wants to put this man on the witness stand and support his outrageous story, which contains many irrelevant facts. The murder is clearly labeled and the state doesn't even claim it was premeditated.
Arnold attacked the Supreme Court ruling cited by Dorsey, arguing that the ruling was written in a case involving the illegal sale of cocaine, not a murder case. He argued that if this evidence were admitted, the murder investigation would have to be stopped and investigations into the other two cases opened. Arnold also argued that it would be unfair to require the defendant to comment on such allegations without notice, requiring the defendant to call every employee at the factory and knowing how many other witnesses there were. Only he would know. If you can present such evidence, you can refute it. It was illegal testimony, and by sowing that suspicion on the jury, they have done us immeasurable damage.
Judge Roan interrupted Mr. Arnold's remarks that everything related to that day's observations on April 26 was related to this case. Judge Roan issued a ruling that this evidence was not admitted as an original proposal and that all but observation was prohibited for the day. Hooper petitioned the judge to stay the verdict until Wednesday, but the court refused. Judge Roan added that he was prepared to reverse the verdict if he was erroneously certified. The jury was then brought back to court, and Conley's cross-examination was resumed by attorney Rosser.
The most important detail in this audiobook document is that R.P. Barrett, a machinist employed in the metal room where Mary Phagan worked, found blood stains near the water cooler and a hand on a lathe several feet away. He said he had several strands of hair wrapped around him. A broom was also found nearby and was used to spread the liquid on the floor and hide the blood. This was based on the theory that Frank had lured a victim into his office to collect his paycheck into a metal room and murdered her for refusing to comply with her abuse. It was one of the state's most important statements regarding the murder. James Conley also testified that when Frank ordered the girl to be carried from the second floor to the basement, the girl's body was dropped and blood was found there.
The defense wanted to point out that the apparent trail did not begin at the elevator, but at the base of the ladder leading from the hole in the waterway on the ground floor, a few yards away. Sergeant Dobbs testified that signs of bodies being dragged started from the side of the elevator pit. Town detective J.N. Starnes, the official prosecutor in the case, testified many key facts about the city police investigation. Starnes testified Sunday morning that Frank was nervous and shivering. He also described bloodstains on the floor of the metal room and swore he found more bloodstains on nail heads 50 feet from the elevator.
Arguments erupted frequently in the early days of the case, and juries were acquitted. As evidence, Dorsey wanted to provide a drawing of a pencil factory with a dashed line marking the route Conley claimed to have taken the body from the metal room to the basement. Boots Rogers said that on the morning of April 27, Frank drove to his home with town detective John Black and was extremely nervous as he drove the detective to the scene. He said Frank was constantly rubbing his hands, walking around anxiously and asking abrupt questions. The state wanted to prove that Frank had avoided looking into the dead girl's face in the entertainment room.
Rogers testified that although the superintendent walked into the room where the body lay, he could not affirm with certainty that Frank had not seen the body. Other witnesses called by the state also corroborated Rogers' testimony, but Frank later denied them. On Sunday, April 27, Rogers' sister-in-law, Miss Grace Hicks, described a visit to the morgue the morning after the murder. She noted that the girls in the metal room frequently combed their hair on the machine, and that there was a gas jet a few yards from the lathe where Mr. Barrett said the hair was said to belong to Mary Phagan. Admitted to finding a bunch. She also testified that the paint was stored in an adjoining room, but she never saw the paint spill on the floor of the metal room.
Town detective John Black stood on the witness stand for several hours. Attorney Rosser subjected Black to one of the most brutal interrogations in the entire case. Black, Crovolated, Rogers, Starnes, and other witnesses testified that Frank was nervous the morning he was taken to the store and then to the factory. Mr Dorsey, through Mr Dorsey, drew attention to the discovery of the bloody club and the fact that alleged dirt on the floor near the hole leading to the basement had not been reported to the police by the Pinkerton Agency. Frank and others at the pencil factory also testified that they had withheld any information Conley could write from the police. During cross-examination, Rosser asked detectives about the bloody shirt found on Newt Lee.

Frank and others at the pencil factory also testified that they had withheld any information Conley could write from the police. During cross-examination, Rosser asked detectives about the bloody shirt found on Newt Lee.
The defense sought to file a statement regarding a shirt found in the bottom of a barrel at a black man's home. Dorsey said the state claimed the shirt was a plant and that Frank went to the night watchman's house the Sunday after the murder and hid the shirt. Pinkerton City Police Detective Harry Scott issued a statement on the morning of July 31 that he visited the factory on the Monday after the murders and was later shown around the factory by a man who helped take evidence. Told. Dorsey said the proposal was misunderstood by witnesses. Detective Scott sharply refuted the suggestion that he was guilty of custody. The state representative said he hadn't done so, but the detective claimed he had forgotten this detail. An important detail in the document is that Scott and Pierce went to the office of Frank's attorney, Herbert J. Haas, to hold a meeting about Pinkerton's position on the investigation. They were told that Frank had serious charges against them and would report him first before going to the police. There were some surprises on Thursday afternoon. Mel Stanford, a young factory worker, said he swept the floor of the metal room on the Friday before the murders and found no blood or Haskell lines on the floor.
City bacteriologist Claude Smith said he identified chips taken from the floor of the metal room and found blood cells in one of them. William A. Gesling, pajama embalmer Bloomfield, said that 12 to 15 hours had passed since her death when Mary Phagan retrieved her body from her hiding place in the basement of the pencil factory. Stated. The most important detail of this text is E. F. Holloway, the factory's day-time warden, was arrested and charged with testifying that he had left the switch box that controlled the elevator motor unlocked on the day of the murder.
This was in direct contradiction to the state's murder theory that Frank had called Conley to help dispose of the body and then entered the office and retrieved the key to the container before starting the machine. E.F. Holloway said he left the elevator locked when he got home, which contradicts the state's murder theory. The witness did not deny his affidavit, but he said he forgot to look at the bulletin board. On May 10, Pinkerton detective McWorth found blood, a baton, and several pieces of string, believed to have been used to strangle the girl.
Ms Arthur White, who commented on Friday, August 1, said she entered the building at 11 a.m. to meet her husband. At 9.30 a.m., after talking for a few minutes, he left the factory. She returned half an hour later and entered Frank's office, who leaned over the office safe. White then went to the fourth floor where her husband and Harry Denham worked, she testified.
An important detail in this document are the testimonies of the lady Ms. White, General Manager M.V. Darley, and Dr. H. F. Harris, Commissioner of State Board of Health. White explained that Frank's behavior was natural when he reached the fourth floor, and said he saw a black man lurking in the shadows of the first-floor hallway as he exited the building. General manager M.V. Darley admitted that Frank was nervous on Sunday morning, April 27. Doctor, and 45 minutes after she had lunch. Dr. H.F. Harris said the girl died 30 to 45 minutes after the noon meal.
Dr. Harris testified that she had been subjected to some form of violence, although she had not been subjected to any criminal assault prior to the girl's death. He said the victim's eyes were likely blackened from the blow before she died, and the scar on her head was undoubtedly unconscious, inflicted with a sharp instrument. said. Upon cross-examination, the defense admitted that Dr. After examining the body, Dr. Harris found evidence of an alleged assault. Hartz may have been shortly after his death. Albert McKnight, the husband of Minora McKnight and the Saleh family cook, said Saturday, April 26, that he was in the kitchen of the house while Frank entered the dining room and looked at himself in the mirror. for several minutes. His testimony was subsequently challenged by his wife, who on the stand rejected the sensational affidavit he had previously filed with the police.
Police Chief Beavers, Detective Wagoner and Constable Lasseter were also dispatched to CID on Saturday. The most important detail in the document is that the police chief said that several days after the murder, he searched around the pit leading to the basement and found the blood cords and clubs that Detective McWorth later found there. can not be displayed. Factory worker Helen Ferguson told jurors that she asked Frank to meet with him on Friday night and hand over Mary Phagan's pay envelope. The defense protested because Judge Roan had a newspaper on his desk with the big red headline "Add Links to the Chain." After five minutes of explanation, the lawyers returned to the courtroom and asked the jury for a pardon.
Rosser said the defense had no intention of seeking miscarriage of justice at this time. Dorsey asked jurors to caution against being influenced by what they have seen or may see in the future. Several other witnesses were called during the first week of the trial, but their testimony did not reveal anything that had not yet been revealed during the course of the investigation by police and private investigators.
On Monday, July 28, 08:00 a.m., a crowd began to gather outside a courthouse in Atlanta, Georgia. A squad of police officers and deputy sheriffs directed traffic on the main street, and hundreds of people walked through the entrance of the red building and up a short flight of stairs to the door of the room where the trial was held. Inside, a dozen electric fans and ozone generators were installed to clean the air and keep the atmosphere as cool as possible. Benches were installed instead of chairs and the seating capacity increased to 250. Only storytellers, lawyers, journalists, close friends of the prisoners and a few spectators were admitted. Frank was taken out of his cell at the Fulton County Jail just before 7:00 a.m. and spent the hours leading up to the court date chatting with them and other relatives. He was brought to court before 9:00 a.m. and chose a seat in front of the judge. Attorneys Luther Z. Rosser, Reuben R. Arnold, and Herbert Haas arrived, followed by a dozen assistants with papers and laws. Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey announced on behalf of the defense that he was prepared to proceed with the case. Attorney Arnold stood ready to oppose the motion to stay.
At 09:00, Judge L.S. Roan strode into the courtroom and Sheriff Mangum and Chief Lieutenant Plennie Minor lined up for orders. The material state witnesses that were called included the following individuals: Mr. J.W. Coleman, Mrs. J.W. Coleman, George W. Epps, Newsboy Polizei Sargent, LS. Dobbs, City Detective Eltharns, W. W. Rogers, Bayless City Detective John Black, Miss Grace Hicks, L. M. Gantt, Pinkerton Detective Harry Scott, City Detective B.B. Haslett, E.F. Holloway, M.B. Darley, Dr. William A. Giesling. Claude Smith, Urban Microbiologist, Ph.D. J.W. Hart, Coroner, Ph.D. H.F. Harris, E.L. Perry, E.S. Smith and Miss Monteen Stover. Attorney Dorsey have announced that they have not waived their intention to be called to the witness stand as directed by Judge Roan. The defense then named the following witnesses, all of whom responded: Annie Hickson, Mrs. Levi, Mrs. Josephine Salig, Emile Salig, H.J. Henze, R.H. Haas, W.H Mincey, J.S. T. Spear, E.F. Skipper, E.L. Centel, May Barrett, Ch. Carson, Mrs. Rebecca Carson, Harry Denham, Harry Gottheimer, Miss Corinthia Hall, Miss Hattie Hall, Mary Burke, Remy Quinn , Herbert J. Schiff, Ella Thomas, CB. Gilbert, Grank Payne, Eura Flowers, Alonzo Mann, Joseph Steger, Ike Strauss, J. C. Loeb, L. J. Cohen, Emma Bibb, Mrs. Bessie White, Joe Williams, Wade Campbell, William McKinley, J. E. Lyons, Dora Lavender, M.O. Nix, Jerome Michael.
At 8.40pm, the first of the 12 jurors was called to the court for questioning. Lawyer Dorsey asked each juror his usual formal questions. Are you related or married to the accused, the deceased, or the prosecutor? Have they formed or expressed an opinion within the bar association regarding the guilt or innocence of a prisoner? Do you hold prejudices or prejudices in favor of or against? Is her opinion completely impartial to the state and defendants? Do you oppose the death penalty for reasons of conscience?
As each Benyerman qualified, the lawyer proceeded with his usual legal formula, announcing that the jury's gaze was that of a competent senior juror, and that the jury's gaze was that of the prisoner. While each member of the first jury was exempt from cause and compelling challenge, the second and third juries were more fruitful, each with four jurors.
Mr. Hensley was elected as the first member of Congress and was passed by both sides at 11:00 am. By 3:00 p.m., 11 jurors from various storytelling teams had been selected. The last man, C.J. Bosshardt, was recognized as the 144th Tailsman. The 12 men who decide Frank's fate are M. Johanning, W.S. Woodward, J.T. Osborne, A.H. Hensley, F-V-L. Smith, J.T. Higdon, Dieter Townsend, WS Metcal, F.E. Winburn, A.L. Wisby, Charles J. Bochert, and W.M. Jeffries were all married except Bochert. At 03:00 p.m, Mrs. J.W. Coleman, the mother of the murdered girl, was called to the witness stand. Dressed in her jet black, she spoke slowly, barely audible outside her jury box. She described how she was the last time she saw her little daughter Mary. An important detail in this document is the testimony of George Epps, a playmate of the murder victim and one of the last people to see her alive. George Epps testified that he drove with the girl to Forsyth and Marietta Streets and left five minutes before entering the Pencil Factory. Old Newt Lee followed the boy to the witness stand for two hours on Monday afternoon, and sat there for three hours under unrelenting questioning. He describes finding the body on the afternoon of the day of the murder, calling the police, meeting with Frank, and rubbing his hands in the pencil factory. He's been overwhelmed on several occasions, but he's dodged every trap set by a shrewd defense cross-examiner. The state laid the groundwork for the case by proving that young factory manager Mary Phagan left home at age 11:50 p.m. and arrived at Forsyth and Marietta Streets at noon. 7:00 p.m. or a few minutes before, witnesses said she walked towards the pencil factory and probably never stepped out of the building. Several police officers who went to the pencil factory in response to Mr. Newt Lee's initial call were called and informed of the findings, the location and appearance of the body at the time of examination, and the surroundings during the fourth part of the trial. was done. Leo M. Frank's calm, confident countenance surprised all who saw him.
He sat between his wife and mother, whose face was almost passive and emotionless, his arms folded and staring at one of the jurors, witnesses, or lawyers. He spoke very little. Frank's actions were not indifferent, he analyzed all the statements filed against him and seemed to understand the legal issues that arose. He seemed calm, cool, and sure of himself and his cause. He wore a blue mohair suit and nose cannulas, which he occasionally wiped with a handkerchief.
His appearance was similar to that of a young boy, but his demeanor was resolute and resolute, befitting his age. His demeanor was the same whether he won or lost, with spectators complaining about the heat, lawyers and difficulty dealing with the crowd that overwhelmed the courtroom. The document's most important detail is that the defendant was considered to be the most obedient prisoner in prison and was never handcuffed during his transfer from prison to court and from court to prison. He was given unusual liberties in court, and never followed the advice of his guardians. His employer, the men who worked with him in the factory, and numerous female subordinates all declared that he was a victim of circumstance and that he had no Mary Phagan's blood in his hands. . Witnesses who accused the defendant of unfair relations with female workers at the factory were called perjurers, and friends of the defendant described women who testified that the defendant was not of good character as fanatics.
The trial of Frank A. Hooper was to be the largest lawsuit in the South. Attorney General Dorsey hired Frank A. Hooper to help prosecute, Felder stepped out of the case after the Dictator case, Cooper had just arrived in Atlanta and made a name for himself, and Reuben R. Arnold probably the Prosecutor assigned to assist the defense of the greatest criminal. The hearing was originally scheduled for June 30 on the Supreme Court schedule, but was postponed after Justice L.S. Roan promised to take Mrs. Roan to the beach the first week of July.
The defense had said Connolly murdered the girl on the first floor and dumped her in a puddle. On May 10, a man named McWorth and Whitefield ran the factory. They found a corner of a pay envelope with Mary Phagan's name and a two-digit number written on it, and that the Pinkerton field manager, Harry Scott, had been out during the investigation into Mary Phagan's murder. I found a dirty club to impress. When Scott returned, he was told that a pay envelope had been found, but nothing more. Chief Rumford dismissed the envelope as a plant, while Commissioner H.B. Pinkerton Pierce was criticized for failing to notify city officials of the alleged fiend.
A cudgel was also found near the location Conley admitted to ambush, and Ranford criticized H.B. Johnson. violent. Pierce did not notify the city government of the alleged find. The Pinkertons then fired Pierce. The most important detail in this text is .WH. Mincey, an insurance salesman and teacher, filed an affidavit in her defense on Saturday, April 26, saying Conley confessed to murdering the girl that morning.
Mincey claimed that when he was at the corner of Electric Avenue and Carter Street near Conley's house in the late afternoon, Conley approached a black man and asked him to take out insurance. Conley replied that he had killed a white girl, and Mincey left the belligerent black man. Chief Ranford recalled that while Conley was making sensational remarks, Mincey called police headquarters and asked for an interview on the pretext that he wanted to identify a drunk black man. An important detail in the document is that Mincey was brought to Atlanta on her subpoena, but she was not asked to appear on the witness stand. Dorsey was summoned for him and had 25 witnesses trying to prosecute him.
Mincey had written several books on mind-reading, and his lawyer had copies of them available for cross-examination. In one litigation case, Jim Conley never admitted to writing only one of the memos, so the attorney continued to undergo both peer reviews. Eventually, Dorsey took them to New York, where one of the country's most prominent experts stated that Jim Conley had written both. Upon his return, the lawyer coerced the black man into confessing to writing both memos.
A key detail in the documentary evidence is that investigators adhered to theories that Frank was the killer and that the Attorney General was prejudiced against Jews. But the same grand jury that indicted Frank for Mary Phagan's murder sought to indict this Negro for the same crime. Mr. Dorsey defended his position by blocking his move to indict a black man at every meeting of the grand jury. Some of the grand jurors were determined to indict Blacks, and Dorsey continued to protest. He is convinced that the charges against Conley will serve no purpose and will lead to miscarriage of justice, and if he stays, Attorney General Frank will be tried before Conley. An important detail of the document is that the jury voted on the propriety of presenting evidence against Conley, and Dorsey understood his point. The atmosphere on the issue was so tense that one grand juror immediately appealed to the Supreme Court and resigned from the jury on the grounds of jury bias. Before Frank could actually go to trial, another grand jury was appointed, and lawyers vehemently protested to foreman Deep Beatty, calling a meeting to consider Conley's matter. Dorsey walked unfazed, devoting virtually all of his time to preparing Frank's case. Shortly after Frank's indictment, an incident occurred that fueled hatred of Dorsey among Frank's sympathizers. In a roundabout way, he claims that Albert McKnight, Minola's husband and Salig family cook, has sensational evidence of Frank's behavior in the home, as well as alleged testimony from family members. I found out Detectives Stearns and Campbell were also present when Minola McKnight, who lives at 351 Pulliam Street, Atlanta, Georgia, testified that Mr. Frank left his home at 8:00 a.m. on the morning of Saturday, April 26, 1913 and her husband Albert and she was there. Albert had gone home that night, but he came back. Mr. Frank returned home at 07:00. Albert got back at 1:15 that afternoon and Mr Frank joined him at 1:30. When the narrator arrived on the scene Sunday morning, he saw a man in a car fetching a bucket of water and pouring it into it. Mr. Frank's wife, Miss Lucille, was downstairs, and Mr. and Mrs. Bailey were upstairs. Albert was there on Sunday morning, but the narrator cannot remember when he got there. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey and Mr. Lucille were having breakfast together, but Mr. Frank was gone. After dinner, Mr. Lucille, Mr. and Mrs. Baily were talking about the girl who was caught in the office on Saturday with Mr. Frank. Lucille said she was Jewish and Mr. Frank said it was Gentile.
On Tuesday, Frank said it was Menorah and he may have to go to jail. A woman, Mrs. Frank's sister, Ms. Rosalind, told Ms. Lucille that this was terrible and that she would look into it. She said on Sunday, Lucille said Frank didn't sleep very well on Saturday night. Lucille told Sailing that her husband, Frank, was in trouble and asked him to get a pistol and kill himself. Mrs. Frank did not see her husband for two weeks before visiting. When she left her home to go to her attorney general's office, they told her to be careful with what she said. A week she was getting $350, but last week she was paying $4 and one week she was paying $650. When she left home to go to the attorney general's office, they told her to be careful with what she said.
Miss Lucille tipped her $5 to keep her quiet. Detective Stearns was in some way influenced or threatened to make this statement. A key detail in the document is that Miniola McKnight was arrested and imprisoned for refusing to testify falsely against her husband. woman. Defendant's wife, Lucille Salig Frank, one of the most prominent Jews in the South, undoubtedly skinned the attorney general and detectives. Lucille Salig Frank said her Attorney General's actions to arrest and imprison her for not willingly giving her false testimony against her innocent husband He said he was trying to limit his patience.
The following statement in the Atlanta Journal attempts to trace the course of her arrest to the point where she was whisked in a hysterical state and whisked away to the police station in a patrol car. Dorsey Her Dorsey was taken to the law firm and interrogated for over an hour by Detectives Darnes and Campbell. During the examination, she became hysterical and was tortured for four hours under third degree law. Her husband was also taken to the police station, but she was released shortly before her wife was released. GC February was asked to take full note of her remarks. This is the longest testimony the woman has ever given to the mystery.
The blacks were calm when the lawyers swore to abide by the law and came out after questioning alleging that they had violated the law and tortured them. A key detail of the document is a plan to torture witnesses until the victim's desired affidavit is obtained. The plan is to torture until the victim gives the desired affidavit, but not before. It is hoped that no civilized country can be convicted of murder by torture on the basis of testimony. Lawyers continue to use third-degree testimony, wanting to keep the jury secret about the techniques they use. In this case, if he can torture a witness as he wishes to testify against her innocent husband, he can force all other men in the community to testify against him.
An important detail of the document is that the cook signed an affidavit exempting him from four hours of exhausting torture under the Atlanta Constitution. This torture process may be used to produce testimony that will be published in newspapers to bias the cases of those whose attorneys deem it appropriate to prosecute. It is also important to prevent anyone from presenting facts in favor of the defendant. Once the lawyers know this, they can arrest and torture the witnesses. Her husband was at home at noon and in the evening at the times her husband indicated on the day of her murder. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and he didn't do anything that aroused the slightest suspicion. There is no evidence against him other than that brought about by torture. Of course, this kind of evidence can be brought against anyone in the world. Ms. Leo M. Frank is the wife of a man charged with the brutal murder of a factory girl. As slander spread in the community that they were not happily married, and every conceivable rumor to the detriment of her and her husband, she I had to endure the world. Mrs. Frank knows her husband is innocent, but she doesn't understand the tricks and tricks of detectives and prosecutors.
Lawyers at the trial claimed that Frank did not approach her husband for two weeks after her imprisonment. Frank's testimony included this reply from a lawyer who read a statement published in an Atlanta newspaper and signed by Leo M. Frank. A key detail in the document is that the Fulton County Attorney General maintains a policy of refraining from newspaper interviews or explanations of the evidence the state must rely on to convict and punish perpetrators of this crime. is. A grand jury of impartial and respected community members presents indictments, and the Attorney General is tasked with assisting law enforcement by prosecuting those accused of wrongdoing. He welcomes any evidence from any source that would help an impartial jury headed by a court determine the guilt or innocence of a defendant.
The most important detail of this text relates to the prosecutor's position. Prosecutors must not allow compassion for innocent people to prevent vigorous prosecutions of those charged with committing crimes. Hugh M. Dorsey was admired for his stance by city and state workers, and anti-Frank public sentiment continued to grow. Frank's attorney, Luther Z. Rosser, accused Chief Ranford of dishonesty in his investigation and publicly accused janitor Jim Conley of the crime. As this was recognized as the determinant of the incident, it became the determinant of the incident.
Frank's defense alleges that Conley graduated from a third degree school and that the detectives were instructors. On May 27, Mr. Conley issued another affidavit in which he admitted to writing the memo, but added that he went to the factory on Saturday afternoon and found Mr. Frank there. He also added that he helped dispose of the bodies the next day. Chief Ranford decided to release the black man's third affidavit. On April 26, 1913, Conley returned to the pencil factory with Mr. Frank and asked him if he wanted to make money. The narrator is asked to pick up a dead girl from the men's restroom and bring her up to the elevator. They bind her with a cloth and take her to her changing room. Mr. Frank helps them back to the sawdust pile, and Mr. Frank looks at the trapdoor to see if anyone is coming. The narrator then unties the cloth and puts it back on the stove. Frank stood by the trap door and asked the narrator to take him to the basement changing room. The narrator puts her face down and drags her into the basement changing room. Mr. Frank then joins the narrator in the back of the elevator and staggers. The narrator then turned off the engine and waited for Mr. Frank to come from there and wash his hands. They then enter the office and Mr. Frank locks the narrator in a closet for seven or eight minutes. Mr. Frank then took out a cigarette and asked the narrator if he wanted to smoke.
The most important detail of this text is that the narrator, James Conley, was handed a box of matches and cigarettes by Mr. Frank. He then asked the narrator to write a few lines on a white paper notepad. Mr. Frank then told the narrator to shut up and make things right. He then presented the narrator with his $200 dollars, but the narrator made no attempt to bring it out to the guards. The narrator decides to tell the truth about the matter, and Mr. Frank promises to return the report on Monday if he survives and nothing happens. The document's most important detail is the events surrounding the arrest of a notary public in Fulton County, Georgia. On Friday afternoons, Frank instructed Conley to meet near Montague Brothers, and Conley went there each day to enter the factory to do additional work. By noon, Conley was escorted to the pencil factory by six detectives in the presence of several newspaper reporters and several factory workers. He was then taken to the superintendent's office, where he wrote his dictated notes. When Secretary Ranford asked Negro whether he had been abused during his stay at headquarters, he said no. Conley was not taken back from the factory to police headquarters, but to the county jail known as The Tower, where the sheriff was in command and the police and detectives had no authority. Attorney William Smith, who was initially hired by the newspaper to represent the blacks, obtained court approval to bring the blacks back to police headquarters. Black claimed through his lawyer that Frank's friends frequently walked past his cell, beat him, accused him of lying, and even threatened his life at gunpoint. After Connolly was escorted back to the police building, the Attorney General made strident remarks about the public focus on the black man's testimony and urged detectives to keep all visitors out of his cell. An order was issued barring entry into the cell except for town detectives, including Harry Scott, aka Pinkerton, who admitted to submitting all development reports to his employer, the National Pencil Company. From then on, the public never heard of Jim Conley until he appeared in court as a witness, and until he began adding new flair by answering lawyers' questions in court, Jim Conley was the third. It was widely believed that he was obsessed with stories.
An important fact in the audiobook is that James Conley, a black cleaner at the National Pencil Factory, was arrested while the coroner's autopsy was in progress. E.F. Holloway, the factory timekeeper, saw Conley washing shirts and called detectives. Conley had partially dried his shirt when police arrived, but the clothing on his back was still damp. Detective Harry Scott asked the Negro to write a few sentences, but Negro casually described his actions on the tragic Saturday, counting every minute and vowing that he never approached the factory that day. Jim Conley had a bad reputation within the factory and was arrested several times by the police. Investigators found that he had borrowed money from numerous employees and had not repaid it. On May 23, Conley admitted to third-degree charges in court that he lied about his inability to write, but he swore he knew nothing about the crime.
On Saturday morning, Conley sent Detective John Black to tell him the truth about the note he had written. Because he said Mr. Frank would send a note to his mother in Brooklyn, and her mother would introduce her to work. Detective John Black was ecstatic and demanded that he tell the truth. A key detail in the document is that Black attempted to secure an indictment of Frank Scott by taking Jim Conley to a grand jury and allowing the jury to hear him. Mr. Dorsey refused to be taken to the witness stand, but his additional diary reveals startling news. Dorsey felt he could accuse Frank without talking about blacks, but it became clear within hours that he was right. Black wanted to push through indictment by taking Jim Conley to a grand jury and allowing the jury to hear him, but Dorsey felt he could push through the indictment against Frank without Black's story. Dorsey had long meetings with blacks and detectives, from which his demographic report was compiled. Conley insisted on his story, even though detectives pointed out that Frank was behind it. He repeatedly swore he was telling the whole truth, so investigators thought he would never change his story. In his initial affidavit, James Conley said about four minutes before 1 a.m. Friday night before the bank holiday: At 12:00 a.m. Mr. Frank came down the aisle and asked me to come to his office. When he goes to his office, he asks, "Can I write?"
Mr. Frank gave the narrator a notepad and asked him to write on it. He then asked the narrator if he wanted cigarettes, and he pulled out a box containing $2.50 cigarettes, two paper dollars, and two quarters. The narrator asks him not to withdraw any money he owes to the keepers, but he refuses. He then asked the narrator to buy a car for his wife, which he didn't want. Investigators were delighted to learn that the author of the murder note, James Conley, was in custody. Handwriting experts testified that the writing on the note was Newt Lee's, but it wasn't until they obtained Conley's handwriting and a sample of the murder note that it was Conley's handwriting. did not notice. Suspicions grew that Conley himself might be the killer, and investigators put him through another test. The Black man was serious about the 3rd degree murder-related charges (i.e. manslaughter).
The words persecution and prejudice characterized Frank's trial. It is revealed that Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey hired a private investigator to independently investigate the tragedy and was convinced Frank was guilty.

For about a week, Felder and the Burns family were prime candidates for the investigation.
A New Yorker at the time, Flack frequently claimed, whether guilty or innocent, that a large corruption fund had been set up to save Frank. It has also been suggested that Felder and the Burns family were actually hired by Frank's friends to protect him.
