The most important details in this text are the sentencing and aftermath of Leo Frank's trial. Judge Roan secretly brought Frank and the other principals together in the courtroom for the formal sentencing. The sentence read, "Leo M. Frank be taken from the bar of this court to the common jail of the county of Fulton and be safely there kept until his final execution in the manner fixed by law." On the 10th day of October 1913, the defendant was executed by the sheriff of Fulton County in private, witnessed only by the executing officer, a sufficient guard the relatives of such defendant and such clergyman and friends as he may desire, and that the defendant, between the hours of 10:00 A.m. and 02:00 p.m., be by the sheriff of Fulton County hanged by the neck until he shall be dead and may God have mercy on his soul." The trial had been the longest and most expensive trial in Georgia history, with the stenographic record being 1,080,060 words. The state star witness, Jim Conley, had been on the witness stand longer than any other witness in state history Judge Roan was Rosser's senior law partner from 1883 to 1886. The temper of the public mind was such that it invaded the courtroom and made itself manifest at every turn the jury made. This prejudice rendered any other verdict impossible. Frank's lawyers began to prepare their appeal immediately after the sentencing, including affidavits about the alleged prejudice towards Leo Frank of two members of the jury, A. H. Hensley and M. Johanning. The family of H. C. Lovenhard swore that on meeting Marcellus Johenning on the street before the trial he had told them, "I know he is guilty". Other points raised included the jurors being influenced by the crowd's demonstrations outside the courtroom and that the evidence did not support the verdict. Solicitor General Dorsey argued that the trial had been fair and countered with affidavits from eleven jurors who swore they did not hear or see demonstrations from crowds outside the courtroom. Both jurors who had been deemed prejudiced by the defense denied the charges. Rosser and Arnold made a final plea to Judge Roan, who denied the defense's motion for a new trial. The ruling was affirmed by the Georgia Supreme Court on February 17, 1914. Two judges, Beck and Fish, dissented on the question of admissibility of Jim Conley's testimony as to Frank's sexual perversion, but did not find the evidence in question sufficient cause to alter the guilty verdict. Not long after the Georgia Supreme Court decision, the Atlanta Journal reported that the state biologist who examined the body of Mary Phagan had concluded that the hair found on the lathe which the prosecution had cited as a major factor in its case, was not Mary Phagan's. The biologist told Solicitor General Dorsey that he did not depend on the biologist's testimony, as other witnesses in the case swore that the hair was that of Mary Phagan. The most important details in this text are that several prosecution witnesses retracted their original testimony, including Albert McKnight, Mrs. Nina Formby, George Epps, Jr., and Mary Phagan. Other witnesses conveyed that they had invented or lied about evidence due to the pressure brought by police detectives and solicitor Dorsey. In addition, the defense lawyers restudied the case, including Henry Alexander, who studied the murder notes allegedly written by Conley at Frank's direction, which were written on old carbon pads and had a dateline of September 19.
Mr. Alexander alleged that the words "night witch" in the note beside Mary Phagan's body, which had been interpreted to mean night watch or watchman by those who believed the notes had been written under the direction of a white man, actually referred to a negro folktale. On March 7, 1914, Frank was resentenced to die. A stay of execution was obtained on an extraordinary motion for a new trial based on newly found evidence. Three witnesses said the state's star witness, Jim Conley, was the killer. Annie Maud Carter in New Orleans said Conley told her he had called Mary Phagan over as she left Frank's office with her pay envelope, hit her over the head, and pushed her over a scuttle hole in the back of the building.
The most important details in this text are that Annie Maud Carter gave the Burns Agency some love letters from Conley which the Constitution said were so vile and vulgar that they couldn't be published in the newspaper. The defense contended that these love letters showed that Conley had perverted passion and lust. A black prisoner named Freeman told his story to the prison doctor, who reported that Conley was the killer. Conley's court appointed attorney, William Smith, thought Frank was innocent and made a public statement on October 2,114, saying that Conley's testimony was a cunning fabrication. This extraordinary revelation, which went against the lawyer client confidentiality privilege, was extolled by those who believed in Frank's innocence and castigated as being caused by bribery by those who believed him guilty.
William Smith revealed no new facts to support his beliefs, but instead tried to show how the already known facts had been misinterpreted due to Conley's lies. It has been said that Jim Conley confessed to William Smith, and a confession statement allegedly by Conley has been published in For One confessions of a Criminal Lawyer by Alan Lumpkin Henson. However, Walter Smith, William Smith's son, denied the authenticity of Conley's "confession", but brought to light facts which had been previously undisclosed regarding William Smith's relationship to his client. William Smith was reputed to be a very conscientious and ethical lawyer, and his prime obligation was to his client. He had been appointed to defend Conley by the court and he worked very closely with the prosecutor, Hugh Dorsey.
Smith believed in Frank's guilt and coached Jim Conley in how to react in the courtroom. He acted out the style and gyrations of Luther Rosser to Conley so well that when the actual trial was in session, Conley was not rattled in the least. Smith went to great lengths to defend Conley and to dig up facts against Frank. At some point in the course of the trial, Smith began to doubt that his client had been telling the truth and tried to get him the lightest sentence possible. Conley was convicted as an accessory to the fact and sentenced to one year on the chain gang. Smith felt morally and legally free to do some investigating and probing on his own.
William Smith believed that Leo Frank was innocent and that he himself was responsible for his conviction. He launched a thorough investigation which convinced him that Frank was innocent and that Conley was guilty. He went to Governor Slayton with his conclusions and his story was important in helping Slayton reach the decision to commute Frank's sentence. Smith's life was threatened and he and his family were forced to leave Georgia. In the last years of his life, Smith's vocal cords were paralyzed and he carried a pad of paper on which to write messages in the hospital room.
On May 8, 1914, superior court Judge Ben H.Hill denied the defense motion for a new trial, which was affirmed unanimously by the Georgia Supreme Court. Jewish organizations and groups raised the issue of religious prejudice before Leo Frank's trial ended. The appeals for funds for Leo Frank's defense were made through mailing, circulars and newspaper advertisements throughout the country and particularly in the north. This resulted in a virtual reenactment of the Civil War between Northern and southern newspapers, which increased in intensity as the trial progressed. The New York Times and Colliers Weekly called for a new trial, mass rallies were held in United States cities, and thousands of letters, petitions and telegrams were sent to Governor Slayton and soon to be Governor Nat Harris.
However, the conviction of Frank became an article of faith for Southerners and the belief in Frank's innocence became the litmus test in the Jewish community of Atlanta for antisemitism. On March 10, 1914, the Atlanta Journal editorially called for a new trial, saying that if Frank is found guilty after a fair trial, he should be hanged and his death without a fair trial and legal conviction will amount to judicial murder. The most important details in this text are that the court, lawyers, and jury were not able to decide impartially and without fear the guilt or innocence of an accused man. The atmosphere of the courtroom was charged with an electric current of indignation, and the streets were filled with an angry, determined crowd ready to seize the defendant if the jury had found him not guilty. When the jury returned the guilty verdict, Frank was not in the courtroom, but at the Fulton Tower.
Cheers for the prosecuting counsel were irrepressible in the courtroom throughout the trial, and on the streets, unseemly demonstrations and condemnation of Frank were heard by the judge and jury. The judge was powerless to prevent these outbursts in the courtroom and the police were unable to control the crowd outside. The Fifth Regiment of the National Guard was kept under arms throughout the night, ready to rush on a moment's warning to the protection of the defendant. The press of the city united in an earnest request to the presiding judge to not permit the verdict of the jury to be received on Saturday, as it was known that a verdict of acquittal would cause a riot. Frank was tried and convicted, but the evidence on which he was convicted is not clear.
The outbursts in the courtroom and the police were unable to control the crowds outside were events that all three newspapers had not printed during the trial. The Journal remained quiet about these events for a year.
The Atlanta Georgian, which was silent during the trial, later called for a new trial. Tom Watson, who had been defeated for vice president of the United States on the populace ticket in 1896, immediately launched a scathing attack against those criticizing the results of the Frank case. He referred to Frank as being a Jew pervert and said he denied justice to the family of a poor factory girl. Burns offered a $1000 reward to anyone who could provide evidence that Frank was a sexual pervert, but no one came forward. Burns also brought forth evidence given to him by the reverend C.B.Ragsdale, pastor of the Atlanta Baptist Church, who told the story of overhearing two black men, one of whom confessed to killing a little girl at the factory the other day. Later, Ragsdale repudiated his statement. A Burns operative, Mr. Toby, had been retained by members of the Phagan family and their neighbors to investigate the murder and discover the murderer. After several weeks of investigating, Toby resigned and announced that he had concluded that Frank was the guilty party. Dorsey alleged that Burns tried to bribe witnesses to give false testimony.
The hearing on extraordinary motion for a new trial was based on the absence of Frank at the reception of the verdict. On December 7, 1914, a writ of error was taken to the United States Supreme Court and was denied. Frank was sentenced to be hanged on January 22, 1915. Frank's attorneys then filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus to the United States Supreme Court on April 19, 1915. The two justices who dissented were Oliver Wendell Holmes and Charles Evans Hughes.
They dissented on the basis that a lower court hearing should have been held to determine the validity of the defense. The most important details in this text are that Governor John Slayton was the only hope left for Frank, and his attorneys appealed to him for a commutation of his sentence from hanging to life imprisonment. Slayton referred this request to the state Prison Commission and asked them to pass their recommendation to the governor. Meanwhile, Frank's attorneys filed an appeal for a clemency hearing before the three man Georgia Prison Commission. The hearing date was scheduled for May 31, 1915.
On May 31, 1915, out of state and in state delegations appeared to plead for Frank's life. They had submitted voluminous documents to convince the commission an error had been made, including a letter by presiding Judge Leonard Roan written shortly before his death on March 23, 1915. Some members of Roan's family doubted the authenticity of the letter for years, but Dr. Wallace E. Brown, owner of the Berkshire Hills Sanatorium, attested to Roan's rational mental state. Brown also stated that he has been a resident of North Adams, Massachusetts, practically all his life, and is now serving his third term as mayor of the city of North Adams.
On Sunday, November 20, 1914, Judge L.S. Roan of Atlanta, Georgia dictated a letter to Mrs. Wallace E.Brown of North Adams, Massachusetts, asking for executive clemency in the punishment of Leo M. Frank. The letter was written by Judge Roan of Atlanta, Georgia, to Mrs. Wallace E.Brown, who was then Miss Jane Deity. The letter expressed the deponent's uncertainty of Frank's guilt due to the character of the Negro Conley's testimony. The letter also stated that the chief magistrate of the state should exert every effort in ascertaining the truth, and that the execution of any person whose guilt has not been satisfactorily proven to the constituted authorities is too horrible to contemplate. The deponent heard Judge Roan dictate the letter before copied and saw him read and sign the name.
Judge Roan had stated to Deponent that he was not convinced of Frank's guilt and that if executive clemency were asked for Frank, he intended to recommend commutation. The next morning, some 50 determined looking men from Cobb County marched into the Prison Commission office and demanded the hearing be reopened. They included former governor Joseph M. Brown and Herbert Clay, solicitor of the Blue Ridge Circuit. Clay spoke for hours against Commutation arguing that Georgia would be dishonored for all time if Frank were spared for his alleged abominable crime. The commission reopened the hearing and the commissioners listened intently and said nothing.
At the end of the reopening, they issued a statement that they would offer their recommendation to Governor Slayton in a week by a two to one vote. On June 1915, the commissioners refused to recommend commutation to Governor Slayton, leaving it up to the governor.
The most important details of Leo Frank's defense were the inconsistencies in his testimony. Jim Conley testified that Mary Phagan had arrived at the Pencil factory before Monte Stover, but the motor, man and conductor of the trolley asserted that she had gotten off at 12:10. Most witnesses agreed that it would have taken at least one half hour for the murder and movement of the body to the seller, the writing of the murder notes and Conley's hiding in the wardrobe to occur. However, there were only 30 minutes between 12:00 and 1230 that Frank's time was not accounted for. The defense called more than 20 witnesses to corroborate Frank's version of when the murder happened, where Frank had been, and at what time.
The first two witnesses, W.H. Matthews, motorman, and W.T. Hollis, conductor of the English Avenue car, testified that Mary Phagan got on at Lindsay Street at about 1150 and was alone. Herbert Schiff, assistant superintendent of the Pencil factory, testified to the system of business, the preparation of the financial sheet, the procedure for paying off employees and how the pencils are made. Miss Maddie Hall Stenographer from Montague testified that she finished her work, left around twelve two and punched the clock, and that Frank did not make up the financial sheet that Saturday morning. Miss Corinthia Hall swore that she was the four lady for the factory and got there Saturday around 11:30 a.m. with Mrs. Emma Clark Freeman. Miss Magnolia Kennedy swore that she was behind Helen Ferguson and Helen Ferguson did not ask for Mary Phagan's pay envelope. On cross examination, she stated that barrett called her attention to the hair and her machine was right next to Mary's. Mary's hair was a light brown sandy color and she did not see the blood spots on the floor. Wade Campbell, another employee, was the brother of Mrs. White who told him about seeing the Negro on Saturday.
Lemme Quinn, foreman of the factory, testified that 100 women worked at the factory. He noticed the blood spots at the lady's dressing room on Monday and was in the office and saw Mr. Frank between 1220 and 1225. Several witnesses later testified that Quinn advised them he had visited Frank prior to noon in the factory the Saturday of the murder. Harry Denham, one of the carpenters on the fourth floor, testified that he was hammering about 40 feet from the elevator on April 26. Minola McKnight, the cook for the Seligs, testified that she worked for Mrs. Selig and cooked breakfast for the family on April 26.
Mr. Frank finished breakfast a little after 07:00 and came to dinner about 20 minutes after one. Her husband, Albert McKnight, wasn't in the kitchen that day between one and 02:00. Mr. Frank left that day sometime after 02:00 and next saw him at 06:30 at supper. She left about 08:00 and Mr. Frank was still at home when she left.
The most important details in this text are that the detectives arrested the woman and took her to Mr. Dorsey's office, where they tried to get her to say that Mr. Frank would not allow her to sleep that night and that he told her to get up and get his gun and let him kill himself. The woman denied it and was shown a copy of her original statement. On cross examination, she was shown a copy of her original statement and said she signed it but didn't tell him some of the things she got in there. At 01:00, Mr. Graves and Mr. Pickett of Beck and Greg Hardware Company came down to see the woman. The detectives wanted the woman to witness to what her husband was saying, but the woman refused to do it.
The detectives wanted the woman to witness to what her husband was saying, but the woman refused to do it. The most important details in this text are the statements made by Leo Frank and his wife, Mrs. AP. Levy, Mrs. M. G. Michael of Athens, and Mrs. Henny Wolfsheimer. Mrs. AP. Levy testified that she saw Frank get off the trolley car on Memorial Day between one and 02:00 and observed nothing unusual about him. Mrs. M. G. Michael of Athens testified that she saw Frank between one and 02:00 and observed nothing unusual about him. Mrs. Henny Wolfsheimer testified that she saw Frank between one and 02:00 and observed nothing unusual about him.
Emile Selig, Frank's father in law, testified to Leo Frank's natural conduct. Mrs. AP. Levy testified that she saw Frank get off the trolley car on Memorial Day between one and 02:00 and observed nothing unusual about him. Mrs. Henny Wolfsheimer testified that she saw Frank between one and 02:00 and observed nothing unusual about him. Emile Selig, Frank's father in law, testified to Leo Mrs. RIA Frank's mother took the stand and stated that her son Leo does not have any rich relatives in Brooklyn. She stated that she has about $20,000 out of interest, a $6,000 mortgage on the house she lives in, and a $6,000 mortgage on the house she owns.
Her husband is doing nothing and is not in good health. Mrs. Ria, Frank's brother in law, Mr. Moses Frank, usually spends a Sunday with them in Brooklyn before he sails for Europe and has dinner with them. He is supposed to be very wealthy, but Mrs. RIA Frank does not know how much cash her husband has in the bank. The most important details in this text are the testimony of nearly 200 witnesses who largely corroborated Frank's version of what had happened the day of the murder and to discredit the State's witnesses. The defense was determined to establish Frank's good character which of course carried with it the opportunity for the prosecution to introduce subsequent evidence as to Frank's alleged bad reputation and character. Jim Conley's reputation and past experiences, including his drinking habits, problems with the law, and history of petty theft and disorderly conduct, were heavily attacked by the defense lawyers and witnesses. The core of this focus was the question could Jim Conley be believed? Mrs. Rebecca Carson, a four lady at the pencil factory, testified that the elevator was noisy when it ran and that Jim Conley told her on Monday he was so drunk the previous Saturday he did not know where he was or what he did.
Mrs. E.M. Carson testified that she saw blood spots around the lady's dressing room and that Conley said, quote mr. White saw sitting on a box at the foot of the stairs. The most important details in this text are that Miss Mary Pierk, another four lady at the factory, testified that she accused Jim Conley of the murder and he took his broom and walked right out of the office. Miss Pierke also stated that she did not tell Frank of her suspicions and that she suspected Jim because he looked and acted so differently. Another important defense witness was Daisy Hopkins, who had been named by Jim Conley as one of the girls Dalton and Frank brought to the factory for immoral purposes. She worked in the packing department on the second floor and never spoke to Mr. Frank when he would pass.
She had never been in his office drinking beer, Coca Cola or anything else, and never visited the factory with him until she went to his to see Mrs. Taylor, who lived with him then. The most important details in this text are that Mrs. Hopkins had been arrested but not tried for fornication, and that she never had to pay anything except her lawyer's fee. Ms. Doris Small testified that she worked at the factory and saw Jim Conley on the fourth floor on Tuesday. She did not see Frank talk to Conley, and later she said that Jim worried her with money so he could buy a newspaper and every time he heard a NEWSBOY yell, she would get extra money. Alonzo Mann, an office boy at the National Pencil Company, testified that Leo Frank's reputation for moral rectitude was good and that he believed Mr. Frank was just as innocent as the angels from heaven.
On cross examination, she testified that Frank came up the stairs Tuesday where Conley was, but she did not see them talking. All 49 women employees at the pencil factory testified that Leo Frank's general reputation and his reputation for moral rectitude was good. Alonzo Mann's revelations 69 years later brought the Leo Frank Mary Phagan murder case into national prominence.
The most important details in this text are that Leo Frank was anatomically normal during his incarceration, and that he was an upright and law abiding citizen. Despite Jim Conley's allegations, several physicians who examined Frank during his incarceration testified that he was anatomically normal. 56 associates of Frank at Cornell University in Brooklyn and in Atlanta testified as to his general good character as an upright and law abiding citizen. Georgia Law in 1913 stipulated that no defendant could be sworn to testify for himself, and that the prisoner would have the right to make to the court and jury such statement in the case as he deems proper in his defense. Concluding the defense's case, Frank submitted a lengthy statement on the stand, and he refused to be cross examined.
The speaker was born in Paris, Texas in 1884 and moved to Brooklyn, New York at the age of three months. He attended Pratt Institute and Cornell University, where he graduated in June 1906. He then accepted a position as draftsman with the BF.sturd Event Company of High Park, Massachusetts. After six months, he returned to his home in Brooklyn where he accepted a position as testing engineer and draftsman with the National Meter Company of Brooklyn, New York. After two weeks, he returned to New York where he studied the pencil business and looked after the erection and testing of the machinery.
In August 1908, he returned to America and immediately came south to Atlanta. He married Lucille Selig, an Atlanta girl, and the majority of his married life has been spent at the home of his parents in law, Mr. and Mrs.E. Selig, at 68 East Georgia Avenue. His married life has been exceptionally happy and he found Mr. Holloway, the day watchman, at his usual place. The most important details in this text are that the office boy found Alonzo Mann in the outer office and opened his desk and opened the safe.
He then went out to the shipping room and conversed with Mr.Irby about the work he was going to do that morning. He returned to his office and looked through the papers he was going to take over on his usual trip to the general manager's office. The most important mathematical work in the office of the pencil factory is the invoices covering shipments that are sent to customers. It is important that the prices be correct, the amount of goods shipped agrees with the amount on the invoice, the terms are correct and the address is correct. The most important details in this text are that the narrator was responsible for checking invoices for freight deductions, and that they had to do this work all by themselves that morning.
They noticed that Miss Eubanks the day before had sacrificed accuracy to speed, and that every one of the invoices were wrong. They had to make corrections as they went along, figure them out, extend them, make deductions for freight if there were any to be made, and then get the total shipments. On April 24, the narrator made the financial sheet which he makes out every Saturday afternoon, on this figure of total shipments.
The narrator had to figure out the total shipments for the week and arrange them in their entirety. At about 09:00, Mr. Darley and Mr. Wade Campbell, the inspector of the factory, came into the outer office and the narrator stopped work to chat with them. A quarter after nine, Miss Maddie Smith came in and asked for her pay envelope and her sister in law's pay envelope. The narrator went to the safe and unlocked it and gave her the required two envelopes and placed the remaining envelopes in their cash box. After Miss Smith had gone away with the envelopes, Mr. Darley came back with the envelopes and pointed out an error in one of them, either the sister in law of Miss Maddie Smith.
He had deducted the amount that was too much and balanced the payroll, leaving about five or $0.10 over. The narrator continued to work on these invoices when Mr. Lyons, superintendent of Montague Brothers, came in. The narrator and Mr. Darley went to the outer office of Montague Brothers and met up with Mr. SIG Montag, the general manager of the business, and Miss Hattie Hall, the pencil company stenographer. The narrator asked Miss Hattie Hall to come over and help the narrator that morning, but she said she wanted to have at least half a holiday on Memorial Day. The narrator then went to Crookshank Soda Fount and bought a package of favorite cigarettes.
The narrator then went to Montague Brothers and spoke to Mr. SIG Montag, the general manager of the business, and then Mr. Matthews and Mr. Cross of the Montague brothers. The narrator then asked Miss Hattie Hall to come over and help the narrator that morning, but she said she wanted to have at least half a holiday on Memorial Day. The narrator spoke to several of the Montague Brothers force on business matters and other matters, and then saw Harry Gotteimer, the sales manager of the National Pencil Company. They discussed two of Gotteimer's orders, which he wanted to ship right away. The narrator was glad for Gotteimer to come back with him later that morning or in the afternoon, as he would be there until about 01:00 and after three.
On arrival at Forsyth Street, the narrator noticed the clock indicated five minutes after 11:00. The narrator returned to Forsyth Street alone and noticed the clock indicated five minutes after 11:00. The narrator saw Mr. Holloway and told him to go as soon as he got ready. He had some work to do for Harry Denham and Arthur White, who were doing repair work on the top floor. The narrator then went into the outer office and found Miss Hattie Hall and Mrs. Arthur White.
They then went into the inner office and removed the papers they had brought back from Montague Brothers. It was about this time that the elevator motor started up and the circular saw in the carpenter shop was running. The narrator separated the orders from the letters and took the other material that didn't need immediate attention.
The most important details in this text are that the narrator noticed that the sheet which contains the record of pencils packed for the week did not include the report for Thursday, the day the fiscal week ends. The narrator then asked Alonzo Man, the office boy, to call up Mr. Schiff and find out when he was coming down. Mrs. Emma Clark Freeman and Miss Corinthia Hall, two of the girls who worked on the fourth floor, came in and asked permission to go upstairs and get Mrs. Freeman's coat. Two gentlemen came in, one of them a Mr. Graham and the other the father of a boy by the name of Earl Burdett. The narrator then gave the required pay envelopes to the two fathers and chatted with them about the trouble their boys had gotten into the day previous.
Emma Clark Freeman and Miss Corinthia Hall came into the office and asked permission to use the telephone. Miss Hattie Hall then typed the mail and brought it to the desk to be read over and signed. At a quarter to twelve, Arthur White and Harry Denham and Arthur White's wife were in the building. Mary Phagan, a little girl, entered the office and asked for her pay envelope. The author recognized her from having seen her around the plant and not knowing her name.
She had evidently worked in the metal department and had been laid off owing to the fact that some metal that had been ordered had not arrived at the factory. Lemme Quinn, the foreman of the plant, came in and asked the narrator if Mr. Schiff had come down. The narrator continued to work until they finished their work and requisitions and looked at their watch at a quarter to one. They called their home and then gathered their papers together and went upstairs to see the boys on the top floor. Mrs.Arthur White, one of the witnesses, states it was 1235 when she passed by and saw the narrator.
The narrator has no recollection of it. The narrator arrived upstairs to see Arthur White and Harry Denham, and Mr. White's wife, who had been working there. The narrator asked them if they were ready to go and they said they had enough work to keep them several hours. The narrator then went down and gathered up their papers, locked their desk, washed their hands, put on their hat and coat, and locked the inner door to their office and the doors to the street. From the time the whistle blew for 12:00 until a quarter to one when the narrator spoke to Arthur White and Harry Denham, the narrator did not stir out of the inner office. It is possible that the narrator went to the toilet to answer a call of nature or to Urinate.
The most important details in this text are that the narrator is unable to see out into the outer hall when the safe doors open, and that he is unable to go with his brother-in-law out to the ball game due to some work he had to do with the factory. He then calls up his brother-in-law to inform him that he would not be able to go with him, and he continues to eat dinner with his father-in-law and Minola McKnight. After dinner, the narrator goes out in the backyard to look after his chickens and lights a cigarette. After a few minutes, the narrator gets up and walks up Georgia Avenue to get a car, but misses the ten minutes to two car and sees Mrs. Mickel, an aunt of the narrator's wife, and several ladies there. After a few minutes, Mrs. Wolfsheimer comes out of the house.
The most important details in this text are that the narrator waited until they could catch a car and then got on the car and talked to Mr. Loeb on the way to town. The car got to a point about the intersection of Washington Street and Hunter Street and the fire engine house and there were a couple of cars stalled up ahead of them. The narrator then walked down Whitehall on the side of Mr. M. Rich and brother store towards Brown and Allens and stood there between 02:30 and a few minutes to 03:00 until the parade passed entirely. The narrator then went on down Alabama Street to Forsyth Street and down Forsyth Street to the factory and opened the safe and desk and hung up their coat and hat and started to work on the financial report. After the narrator started to work on the financial sheet, Arthur White and Harry Denham came into the office and Arthur White borrowed $2 from the narrator in advance on his wages.
The narrator was working on a financial sheet when they noticed Newt Lee the watchman coming from the head of the stairs. He offered the narrator a banana out of a yellow bag, but the narrator declined it. The narrator then took Newt Lee around the plant 1st, second and third floors and into the basement and told him it was his duty to go over the entire building every half hour, not only to completely tour the upper four floors, but to go down to the basement. The narrator also showed him the cutoff for the electric current and told him in case of a fire that it ought to be pulled so no firemen coming in would be electrocuted. The narrator explained everything to him in detail and told him he was to make that tour every half hour and stamp it on the time card.
The most important details in this text are the time slips that Newt Lee registered his punches on Saturday night and Sunday night, and the time slips that he registered his punches on Monday night. As the narrator was putting the slips into the clock, they saw Newt Lee coming up the stairs and looking at the clock. He heard Newt Lee ring the bell on the clock when he registered his first punch for the night, and he went downstairs to the front door to await his departure. After washing, the narrator went downstairs to the front door and saw Newt Lee in conversation with Mr.J.M. Gantt, a man that the narrator had let go from the office two weeks previous.
The narrator spoke to Mr. Gantt and asked him what he wanted, and he said he had a couple of pairs of shoes, black pear and tamper, in the shipping room. The narrator then walked up Forsyth Street to Alabama, down Alabama to Broad Street, and then down to Jacob's Whitehall The narrator sat looking at the paper until 630 when they called up at the factory to find out if Mr. Gantt had left. At 07:00, they were successful in getting Newt Lee and asked him if Mr. Gantt had gone again. The next day, the narrator was awakened by a telephone ringing and was informed by City Detective Starnes that Mr. Frank, superintendent of the National Pencil Company, wanted the narrator to come down to the factory right away due to a tragedy. The narrator hung up and went upstairs to dress to go with the people who should come for him in the automobile.
When the automobile arrived, the narrator's wife went downstairs to answer the door with a night dress with a robe over it, and the narrator followed her. The most important details in this text are that the narrator went downstairs to follow his wife and asked them what the trouble was. The two witnesses, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Black, differ with the narrator on the place where the conversation occurred. The narrator was asked if they knew Mary Phagan, a little girl with long hair hanging down her back, who worked in the tipping plant. The narrator replied that they did, but didn't know her name.
They wanted the narrator to come down with them to the factory, and the narrator finished dressing and went right on with them in the automobile. The narrator and two men made a quick trip to the undertakers, where they were asked to identify the body of a little girl. They walked down a long, dark passageway until they reached a small room with an electric light. The attendant then switched on the electric light and the narrator saw the body of the little girl. Mr. Rogers then walked in the room and stood to the right of the narrator, while Mr. Black was to the left of the narrator.
The most important details in this text are that the attendant, Mr. Chestling, removed the sheet covering the body and put his finger on the wound in the left side back of the head. The hands and arms of the little girl were dirty, blue and ground with dirt and cinders, and the nostrils and mouth were open and full of sawdust and swollen. On the forehead, about the neck, there was twine and a piece of white rag. After looking at the body, the attendant identified the little girl as the one who had been up shortly afternoon the day previous and got her money from the undertaker. They then left the undertaking establishment and rode over to the pencil factory, where they saw Mr. Darley going into the front door with another man.
In the inner office, the night watchman Newt Lee was in the custody of Detective Starnes. The payroll book showed that Mary Phagan worked in the metal plant and was due to draw $1.20. The detectives wanted to take the narrator down in the basement to find the body of Mary Phagan. The narrator went to the elevator box to turn on the current and found it open. They then got on the elevator and the narrator pulled the rope to start the elevator, but it seemed to be caught.
The narrator asked Mr. Darley to try his hand and he was successful in getting it loose. The officers showed the narrator where the body was found, just beyond the partition of the Clark Wooden Wear Company and behind the door to the dust bin. The most important details in this text are that the hat and slipper were found on the trash pile, and that the back door opened 18 inches. After looking at the basement, Mr. Darley and himself went upstairs to lock up the back door. After returning upstairs, they accompanied Chief Lanford on a tour of inspection through the three upper floors of the factory.
They looked into each bin and partition and each dressing room, and the dressing room that has figured so prominently in the trial. The narrator was nervous and unstrung that morning, and the sight of an electric light flashing on was enough to drive a man to distraction. The most important details in this text are that a man who is ordinary flesh and blood is showing signs of nervousness after a sight of a little girl being cruelly snuffed out. They went with the officers in an automobile, where Mr. Rogers was at the driving wheel and Mr. Darley sat next to him. On arrival at headquarters, they went up to Chief Lanford's office and discussed the matter in general.
After staying there for a few minutes, they left and went to Bloomfields on Prior Street and Mitchell. When they went into the establishment, they were told that someone was busy with the body and they couldn't see it. They started to leave when they met a certain person with whom they made arrangements to watch the building.
Detectives Scott and Black came to the factory and asked Mr. Frank to go to headquarters with them. They showed him a piece of material of a shirt and asked him if he had ever worn it. Newt Lee was brought up from a cell and showed him the same sample. Detectives Scott and Black then opened the package and revealed the full shirt, which had all the appearance of being freshly stained with blood and had a distinct odor. Chief Lanford began an examination of Mr. Frank's face, head, hands, and arms.
Mr. Rosser came in and spoke to the detectives or to Chief Beavers, who thought it better that Mr. Frank should stay down there. The narrator is being detained at headquarters, but if they wish, they can engage a supernumerary policeman to guard them and give them freedom of the building. Detective Starnes, John N. Starns, comes in and dictates from the original notes found near the body. The narrator writes a note at the dictation of Mr. Starnes and gives him a photographic reproduction of the note. Detective Starnes then takes the narrator down to the desk sergeant where they search the narrator and enter their name on the book under a charge of suspicion.
The narrator then sits in a small room while their father in law arranges for a supernumerary policeman to guard them for the night. Detective Scott and Detective Black came to Mr. Frank's room on the top floor of the headquarters on Tuesday, April 29 to discuss the possibility of couples being let into the factory at night by the night watchman, Newt Lee. They stressed the possibility of couples having been let into the factory at night by the night watchman, Newt Lee, and asked Mr. Frank to see what he could do with him. Mr. Frank agreed and was taken to a room on the top floor of the headquarters. Detective Scott and Detective Black stressed the possibility of couples having been let into the factory at night by the night watchman, Newt Lee, and asked Mr. Frank to see what he could do with him.
The most important details in this text are the instructions given by Detective Black to Newt Lee, who was handcuffed to a chair in a room and told to open up and tell all he knows about happenings at the pencil factory on Saturday night. After speaking to Newt, the narrator asked him if he knew anything about couples coming in there at night and remembering the instructions Mr. Black had given him. Newt replied like an old negro quote before God, "I am telling you the truth, and I have told you all I know." The conversation ended right there, and the detectives came back into the room and began questioning Newt Lee.
The most important details in this text are that the narrator had their first initiation into the third degree in Atlanta police department, and that the narrator had no part in causing Mary Phagan's death. The narrator's statement to the witness Dalton is false, and the narrator's statement to Conley is a tissue of lies from first to last. The narrator has no rich relatives in Brooklyn, New York, and their father is an invalid. They have no relative who has any means at all except Mr. M. Frank, who lives in Atlanta, Georgia. No one has raised a fund to pay the fees of their attorneys, and the narrator's lawyers have been paid by the sacrifice in part of the small property their parents possess.
On rebuttal, the state called over 70 witnesses, including a friend of Minola McKnight's husband and the maid's attorney, George Gordon, who testified that she made a complete and true statement to the police of everything she knew. Two witnesses, O. Tillander and E. K. Graham, who had come to the factory to obtain their son's money, testified that they saw a Negro about the same size as Conley at the stairs on the first floor but swore they could not positively identify him. 14 witnesses testified that Dalton's reputation for truth was good, while eight witnesses testified that the woman's reputation for truth and veracity was bad.
Three witnesses testified that they had seen Frank talk to Mary Phagan frequently and call her by her first name, and that he touched her and attempted to intercept her for conversation. 20 women, former employees of the pencil company, testified that Frank's reputation for lascivious conduct was bad. Three residents of Homes for Unwed Mothers, formerly employees of the factory, had been called by the state to testify as to Frank's The most important details in this text are that Frank Conley, a Jewish boy from the north, was murdered in his place of business. Defense attorney Arnold argued that Frank could not have committed the murder, but this evidence provided the motive for the crime. Defense attorney Luther Rosser pleaded for Frank's life for three and one half hours.
The text also mentions that Conley was a dirty, filthy, black, drunken, lying nigger who had been shaved, washed, and dressed up, and that he was willing to find the murderer. The text concludes by stating that the charge of moral perversion against a man is a terrible thing for him.
The most important details in this text are that the defendant, Leo Frank, had a wife and mother to be affected by it, and that the Solicitor General had visited the defendant seven times to try him under such testimony. Additionally, two witnesses quoted antisemitic remarks from others, including Ty Brent and Sir Rebuttal, who both expressed their bitterness towards Leo Frank. Finally, the jury was informed that the case against Frank was the greatest frame up in the history of the state, and that if Frank hadn't been a Jew, there would never have been any prosecution against him. SL Asher, sworn for the defendant in Sir Rebuttal, said two weeks ago that a man was talking loudly about the Frank case and suggested they should take him out and hang him. Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey then spoke until court adjourned and six more hours on Saturday and three Monday morning.
Dorsey said that the race from which the man comes is as good as ours, and that his ancestors were civilized when ours were cutting each other up and eating human flesh. He also mentioned the Strauss brothers, Oscar the diplomat, and the man who went down with his wife by his side on the Titanic. Dorsey also mentioned the Strauss brothers, Oscar the diplomat, and the man who went down with his wife by his side on the Titanic. Dorsey also mentioned the Strauss brothers, Oscar the diplomat, and the man who went down with his wife by his side on the Titanic. Finally, he mentioned the Strauss brothers, Oscar the diplomat, and the man who went down with his wife by his side on the Titanic.
The most important details in this text are that the jury returned a guilty verdict in the case of Mary Phagan, who died because she wouldn't yield her virtue to the demands of her superintendent. Judge L. S. Rohn asked to see all counsel in his chambers and showed them letters from the editors of three of Atlanta's newspapers predicting the results of Leo Frank's acquittal. He requested that both counsel agree that the defendant not be present in the courtroom when the jury told their verdict, and Solicitor General Dorsey gave his consent only after Rosser and Arnold agreed that this absence would not be used as a basis for appeal. J. W. Coleman, little Mary's stepfather, walked over to the jury box with tears streaming down his face and thanked each man on the jury with a grip of his hand.
He then turned to Judge Rohn and thanked him for the pains he had taken with the trial and for his fair dealing with all parties concerned. He made the following statement to a Constitution reporter: "I am entirely satisfied with the manner in which the trial has been conducted and also with the verdict returned. knew by looking at the faces of the jurors as they were chosen that they were all men who could be relied upon to give fair and careful consideration to each point and that they were of the High.
Type of character who would give their best efforts as citizens of this commonwealth without thought of themselves to determine the guilt or innocence of Leo Frank. I would not for any consideration like to see an innocent man pay the death penalty, but I feel sure that anyone in the world who has kept up with the trial in all its phases and with every scrap of evidence submitted, would have found Frank guilty, as these honorable gentlemen have done. I am deeply grateful to them and to Judge Roan."
Hugh Dorsey emerged from the courtroom building and was greeted by the laughing, cheering, rejoicing crowd. Fanny Phagan Coleman, who had been unable to attend court that day, expressed her relief that it was all over. She had not been well for the last week and her mother had been sick, so she could not attend all the sessions of the court. Rabbi Marks sat with Frank and his wife at the Fulton Tower awaiting the verdict. A friend told Frank the verdict and he exclaimed, "Guilty. My God. Even the jury was influenced by mob law. I am as innocent as I was a year ago."
The Leo Frank case was convened in a temporary Atlanta courtroom on July 28, 1913, with 250 seats and 20 officers guarding the courtroom. The jurors, all white men and Atlanta residents, were chosen within 3 hours of the first morning of the trial. The defense used 18 of its 20 strikes without a cause while the prosecution used seven of the ten allowed. The twelve jurors were C.J. Bashard Pressman, I Hensley, Buggy Company, J. F. Higdon Building Contractor, Jefferies - Real Estate, Johenning Shipping Clerk, WF Medcalf Mailer, J.T. Osborne, Optician, Frederick V. L. Smith paying teller, D. Townsend paying teller, F.A. Windburn Railroad Claims agent, Al Weizby Cashier, M. S. Woodward - Cashier, King - Hardware. The Chief prosecutor, solicitor General Hugh A. Dorsey, was handsome and forceful, assisted by Frank Arthur Hooper and Edward A. Stevens. The defense was defended by Atlanta's two well known trial lawyers Special Assistant Solicitor Hooper described the State's case against Leo Frank, who was accused of premeditated rape of Mary Phagan. He alleged that Frank had seduced and taken liberties with other young factory girls and had made unsuccessful advances to Mary Phagan. Several surviving family members have said that Frank harassed Mary Phagan and that she went home and told her mother several former National Pencil Company employees have also alleged that they heard Frank sexually harass Mary Phagan.
The state argued that Frank was alone in the office, gave Mary Phagan her pay envelope, then followed Mary to the medal room and made sexual overtures to her. He then strangled her and gave Conley $2.50 and then $200, but later had Conley return the money. Hooper singled out the expected testimony of Monteen Stover, who he claimed would contradict Frank's contention that he had been in his office continuously from 12:00 p.m. Mrs. J. W. Coleman, the mother of Mary Phagan, testified that she last saw her daughter alive on April 26, 1913. A court officer drew forth a suitcase and lifted out the dress and shoes that Mary Phagan had worn when she last saw her.
Fanny Phagan Coleman identified the clothing of her murdered daughter by covering her eyes with a palm fan and sobbing. At that time, few women attended court trials except for those related to the victim or the defendant. Fanny Phagan Coleman and Ali May Phagan attended the trial, as well as Lucille Selig Frank, Frank's wife, and Mrs. Ray Frank, his mother. When asked for her thoughts by a reporter for the Atlanta Journal, Fanny Phagan Coleman said she would rather not talk about it. This silence caused the rest of the Phagan family not to speak of the trial for the next 70 years.
The narrator went out of the door and stayed until four minutes to six. When he returned, the doors were unlocked and the narrator went to Mr. Frank to change the slip. It took him twice as long as the other times he saw him fix it. When Mr. Frank put the tape in, the narrator punched and went on downstairs. Mr. Gantt came from across the street from the beer saloon and asked for a pair of old shoes to have fixed.
Mr. Frank ran into Gantt unexpectedly and asked him to help him find them. The narrator went up there with Mr. Gantt and found them in the shipping room. Mr. Frank phoned the narrator that night about an hour after he left. He asked if everything was all right and said goodbye. The narrator is a police officer who has been assigned to investigate the murder of a man named Gantt.
On Saturday night, the narrator goes to the building and finds a light on the street floor and a light in the basement. The narrator lit the light at 06:00 and made their rounds regularly every half hour. When 03:00 comes, the narrator discovers a body in the basement and calls up the police station. The narrator then carries the officers down where they find the body. The narrator then tries to get Mr. Frank, but he does not answer.

On Tuesday night, April 29, Newt had a conversation with Mr. Frank at the station house and was handcuffed to a chair. When Mr. Frank came out of his office that Saturday, he was looking down and rubbing his hands. When defense attorney Rosser Cross examined Lee, the witness said that the locked double doors inside the entrance to the building were unlocked. When the prosecution called Sergeant L. S. Dobbs to the stand, he testified that he had never seen Mr. Frank rubbing his hands that way before.
The most important details in this text are the statements made by two witnesses to the murder of Mary Phagan. Albert McKnight, the husband of Frank's Cook, Minola McKnight, testified that between one and 02:00 on Memorial Day he was at the home of Mr. Frank to see his wife. On cross examination, McKnight stated that he saw Frank in the mirror in the corner and that he could not tell who was in the dining room without looking through the mirror. Ms. Helen Ferguson, a friend of the murdered girl, testified that she saw Mr. Frank Friday, April 25, about 07:00 in the evening and asked for Mary Phagan's money. Mr. Frank said he couldn't let her have it, and before he said anything else, she turned around and walked out.
Ms. Ferguson stated that she had gotten Mary's money before and did not remember if Mr. Schiff was in the office when she asked Frank for Mary's pay. By number three, medical experts had different contentions about the question of Mary Phagan's rape. All agreed that there had been a savage struggle after which the girl was strangled. According to the undertaker, there was a two and one half inch wound on the back of the victim's head, exposing part of the skull. The county physician, Dr. J. W. Hurt, testified that the head wound was induced by a blunt edged instrument and occurred before death.
Dr. H. F. Harris, the medical examiner, stated that Mary Phagan's vagina showed evidence of violence before death due to internal bleeding and the epithelium was pulled loose from the inner walls and detached in some places. Nowhere in the testimony can it be found that Mary Phagan was bitten on her breast. Pierre Fonpassen, who had studied the evidence and x rays of the Frank case in 1922, reported that he found x ray pictures showing the girl had been bitten on the left shoulder and neck before strangulation. Dr. Harris asserted that she had eaten her last meal of bread and cabbage approximately one half to three quarters of an hour before she died. C.
B. Dalton, the man whom Jim Conley alleged brought women with Leo Frank to the factory for immoral purposes, took the stand. He stated that he had visited the National Pencil Company three, four or five times and had been in the office of Leo M. Frank. He also mentioned Daisy Hopkins again, but did not remember the first time he was in Mr. Frank's office.

On Redirect examination, Dalton stated that Frank had Coca Cola, lemon and lime and beer in his office.
He admitted that he had served time in the chain gang in 1894 for stealing, but claimed that it had been almost 20 years since he had been in trouble. Mel Stanford, who had worked for Frank for two years, testified that he swept the whole floor in the metal room on Friday, April 25. On Monday, the narrator found a spot that had some white hascalline over it on the second floor near the dressing room that wasn't there Friday.
The most important details in this text are the testimony of Jim Conley, a short, stocky black man who was a sweeper at the pencil factory. He testified that he had a conversation with Mr. Frank on Friday, 25 April, and that he wanted him to come to the pencil factory on Saturday morning at 830 to do some work on the second floor. He also testified that he always stayed on the first floor and watched for Mr. Frank while he and a young lady would be up on the second floor chatting. When young ladies would come there, he would sit down at the first floor and watch the door for him. On Thanksgiving Day, he watched for Mr. Frank.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1912, a tall, heavy built lady came to the Capital City Laundry to see her mother. The narrator and Mr. Frank met at the door and he asked the narrator to watch for him. The narrator went to the corner of Nelson and Forsyth Street and saw Mr. Frank as he passed by. The narrator was standing on the corner and Mr. Frank was coming up Forsyth Street towards Nelson Street. Mr. Frank asked the narrator to wait until he came back from Montague's factory.
The narrator was standing on the corner and Mr. Frank came out Nelson Street and down Forsyth Street towards the pencil factory. Mr. Frank and the narrator were passing a grocery store when a young man with a paper sack and his baby stood by the side of him. Mr. Frank said something to the narrator and hit up against the man's baby. Mr. Frank then stopped at Curtis's Drugstore and went into the soda fountain. When they got to the factory, Mr. Frank stopped the narrator at the door and put his hand on the door and turned the knob and said, "You see, you turn the knob just like this and there can't nobody come in from the outside".
Mr. Frank tells the narrator to push a box up against the trash barrel and sit on it. He then tells the narrator to shut the door and come upstairs to Mr. Darley's office to borrow some money. The narrator does as he is told, but Mr. Frank hits the narrator with a blow on his chest and tells them not to let Mr. Darley see them. The narrator refuses to let Mr. Darley see them.

After she left, someone from the metal department came running back upstairs on their tiptoes. The narrator then heard Mr. Frank whistling and unlocked the door and went up the steps. Mr. Frank was standing at the top of the steps and shivering and trembling with a rope in his hands and a long, wide piece of cord. He had a little rope in his hands and a long, wide piece of cord in his hands, and his eyes were large and looked funny out of his eyes.
He had a cord in his hands just like this one cord. The narrator then went back to the office to see if the little girl's work had come, but she refused and the narrator struck her too hard and she fell and hit her head against something. The narrator has seen Mr. Frank in a position he hasn't seen any other man with children. He has seen him in the office two or three times before Thanksgiving, where a lady was sitting down in a chair with her clothes up to his knees. He has also seen him in the packing room with a young lady lying on the table.
When the narrator returns, they find the lady dead with a rope around her neck and a cloth tied around her neck. The narrator notices the clock and tells him it is four minutes to one.

On Thanksgiving Day, the narrator refused to write for the police the first time. Defense attorney Rosser spent three days attacking Conley's testimony, and Conley admitted to a number of arrests that had resulted in fines of nominal amounts for drunkenness or disorderly conduct and one sentence of 30 days for an altercation with a white man.
Rosser was able to show that Conley had a poor memory about everything except the murder and was repeatedly denounced by those who knew him as dirty, filthy, black, drunken, lying The most important details in this text are that Jim Conley, a native Mariettan reporter and journalist who covered the trial for the Atlanta Georgian, claimed it would have been impossible for Conley to fabricate the detailed account of what had happened and withstood the hours of cross examination. Conley may be telling the truth in the main, or he may be lying altogether, but he is one of the most remarkable Negroes that has ever been seen in this section of the country. As hour by hour the attorneys for the defense failed to entrap the Negro, the enormity of the evidence became apparent. Finally, the defense admitted that they had failed to entrap the Negro and asked that the evidence be stricken from the records. The Negro withstood the fire and Frank's attorneys are seeking to have the evidence expunged from the records.

When he was leaving at 1145, he saw Corinthia Hall and Emma Clark coming towards the factory. He had seen blood spots on the floor, but he did not remember having seen the blood spots Barrett found.
He also said that cords like that used to strangle Mary Phagan could be found all over the place. He explained that he saw it a plank for Mr. Denham and Mr. White on the fourth floor and forgot about it when he remembered that he had forgotten to lock the elevator. Despite these few inconsistencies, he was forced to conclude that his family's evaluation of Leo Frank's culpability was accurate at that particular time. But he therefore shifted his focus to the defense's argument and made a pledge to himself to be fair in his evaluation of the facts.
21st Century U
The most important details in this text are that the narrator is related to Little Mary Phagan, and that they became friends with Amy, a Jewish woman. Amy and the narrator exchanged their beliefs and answered the whys of their faiths. During one Christmas vacation, the narrator's father revealed to the narrator that he had become part of a Jewish family, and the narrator realized why they had always called this particular couple Grandma and Grandpa and still do. The narrator's father had just been promoted to staff sergeant and was flying out of the Warner Robbins Air Force Base in Macon, Georgia, and the narrator realized why they had always called this particular couple Grandma and Grandpa and still do. On December 20, 1952, there was a fatal crash that took the lives of 87 young military men.
The escorts are called color guards and are handpicked as a rule versed in the nature of life. One of the crew members on the flight was Robert Jacobs, a radio operator whose position was on the flight deck with the pilot, copilot, navigator and flight engineer. Brigadier General H.W. Bowman and Lieutenant Colonel Roland K. McCoskrie, commanders of the 62nd Troop Carrier Wing H and 7th Troop Carrier Squadron, suffered only as commanders can suffer when they lose men in a tragic accident. The cleanup crew was mostly volunteers and some even risked their lives in trying to save others. It took over three days just to recover all the bodies and then there was the horrible task of identifying some of the bodies.
Preparations and transportation arrangements were made and then came the selection of the color guards. There was no Jewish man to escort our radio operator, so one had to be selected from another squadron. The most important details in this text are that the narrator presents the American flag to Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs at the gravesite, and that they become an adopted son. They invite the narrator home to say the Kadish, a memorial prayer for their son, and they ask the narrator questions about their son. The narrator explains that their son was one of the best, and that the best always are selected for the tough flights.
The narrator also sends flowers to the narrator's mother on Mother's Day. The narrator also explains that their son was one of the best, and that the best always are selected for the tough flights. The most important details in this text are the four letters of appreciation and commendation that the author received from the Jewish War Veterans of the US, Brigadier General H. W. Bowman, Colonel Richard Jones, and Lieutenant Colonel Roland K. McCoskry. After two years at Flagler University, both Amy and the author transferred to Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. The author worked hard and in August of 1977, they received their Master of Science in the College of Education program with honors. The author then had a job as a consultant Itinerant teacher for the visually impaired for the Griffin Cooperative Educational Service in Griffin, Georgia.
The most important details in this text are that John Carson of Blue Ridge, Georgia was introduced to the various superintendents of the systems in which he would be responsible for setting up the vision program. One of the superintendents asked John Carson if he was related to little Mary Phagan, who went to town one day and went to the pencil factory to see the big parade. Leo Frank met her with a brutal heart and said she had met her fatal doom. He took her body away and called on Jim Conley to take her body away. He took her to the basement where she was bound hand and feet and down in the basement she lay asleep.
The watchman called for the officers and they came to the pencil factory and locked him in a cell. When Frank comes to die and stands the examination in the courthouse in the skies, he will be astonished at the questions the angels are going to say of how he killed little Mary on one holiday. The most important details in this text are that the focus of Southern society was tradition, which meant opposition to change, and the esteem in which white women and young white girls were held. This tradition was manifested in a loyalty on the part of Southerners to their own kind, which usually resulted in a paranoid suspicion of outsiders. The industrialization, which began in the last part of the 19th century, centered on the cities, and it was in the rural areas that the commitment to tradition held most strongly.
However, life in rural areas was difficult for most of the poorer people, so they emigrated to urban areas, where the opportunities to make money were far greater. The most important details in this text are the stories of white tenant farmers who came in from the country to find work in the mills and factories in Atlanta. In 1908 or 1909, about a third of Atlanta's population had no water mains or sewers, and between 50 and 75% of the schoolchildren of Atlanta suffered from anemia, malnutrition and heart disease. In 1909, 622 thousand out of a population of 115,000 were held by the police for disorderly conduct or drunkenness, and the newspapers seized upon stories of Negro assaults on white women. Wages were low in the mills and factories, and the normal workday began at 06:00 a.m. and ended at 06:00 p.m. Mary Richards Phagan had earned only $0.10 an hour at the National Pencil Company. Children were exploited, especially in the cotton mills. The most important details in this text are that Leo Frank, a northerner, Jew, superintendent, part owner of the factory and well-to-do, would have fit the idea of the outsider which southerners traditionally held in such suspicion and the exploiter of whom they were growing increasingly resentful. On April 28, 1913, Leo Frank sent a telegram to Adolf Montague in New York, CEO, Imperial Hotel, New York, stating that a factory girl found dead Sunday morning in the cellar of a pencil had been killed by factory police. The narrator's uncle assured him that the company had the case well in hand.
On April 20, 1913, the Atlanta Georgian reported that four suspects were being held, including a black knight watchman, a former streetcar conductor, a black elevator boy, and a former employee of the National Pencil Company. Leo Frank, the factory superintendent, was not on the list and was under police guard for his own personal safety. When Newt Lee, the night watchman who discovered the body of little Mary Phagan, was questioned by the police, he stated that he had been at the factory on April 26, 1913 and that when he began working at the Pencil factory, Mr. Frank had told him to report at 06:00 p.m. on weekdays and at 05:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
Frank had plans to go to the baseball game with his brother in law and arrived at the factory at about three or four minutes before four. The narrator was paid off Friday night at 06:00 and was given the keys to the front door at 12:00. On Saturday, the front door was locked and the narrator took their key and unlocked it. When they went upstairs, the narrator had a sack of bananas and stood to the left of the desk. Mr. Frank came out of his office and apologized for having the narrator come so soon.
He told the narrator to go downtown and stay an hour and a half and come back around their usual time at 06:00. The narrator then went out the door and stayed until four minutes to six. When they came back, the doors were unlocked just as they left them, and the narrator went and said, "All right, Mr. Frank, end quote." The most important details in this text are that Mr. Frank took twice as long to fix the slip, and that Mr. Gantt came from across the street from the beer saloon and asked for a pair of old shoes to have fixed. Mr. Frank then ran into Mr. Gantt unexpectedly and asked him to help him find them in the shipping room. Mr. Frank then phoned the narrator an hour after he left, asking how they were doing and saying goodbye.
There is a light on the street floor just after the entrance to the building, and Mr. Frank told the narrator to keep it burning bright so the officers can see in when they pass by. However, the light wasn't burning that day. The most important details in this text are that the narrator lit a light in the basement at the foot of the ladder at 06:00 on Saturday and left it burning bright. He made his rounds regularly every half hour and punched on the hour and half, and the elevator doors on the street floor and office floor were closed when he got there. At 03:00, the narrator discovered the body there and called the police station. They discovered notes under the sawdust, a hat without ribbons on it, paper and pencils, a shoe near the boiler, and a bloody handkerchief about 10ft further from the body on a sawdust pile. While Dobbs was reading the notes, Lee said "play like a night" which means the night watchman.
Leo Frank was arrested on April 29 and incarcerated in the Fulton Tower. He was found to be extremely nervous and denied knowledge of a little girl named Mary Phagan. Upon arriving at the factory, he consulted his time book and reported that Mary Phagan worked there and she was here yesterday to get her pay. Further questioning revealed that Frank maintained he was inside his office every minute from noon to 1230. On Sunday, Frank advised police that Newt Lee and J.
M. Gantt had been at the factory and that Gantt knew Mary Phagan very well. R. P. Barrett, a machinist, reported that he found blood spots near a machine at the west end of the dressing room on the second floor, and hair was also found on the handle of a bench. Leo Frank was arrested on April 29 and incarcerated in the Fulton Tower. The police reported that Frank had been handcuffed to a chair and had a conversation with Newtley, who was handcuffed to a chair.
Lee asked Frank if he believed he committed the crime, but Frank said he did not. Lee then asked Frank if he knew anything about it, but Frank said he did not. The police also learned that Frank refused to send Mary Phagan's pay home with Helen Ferguson, a friend. The police had also learned that Frank refused to send Mary Phagan's pay home with Helen Ferguson, a friend. The police obtained a statement from Anola McKnight, the black cook in the Frank home, who reported that when Frank came home that Saturday, he was drunk, talked wildly and threatened to kill himself.
Three days later, Mrs. McKnight publicly repudiated her affidavit, claiming that she had signed it to obtain release from the police. The family maintained that Mary Phagan had been violated, and the medical evidence revealed that blood found on her legs and underwear was the result of rape or menstrual blood was undisputable evidence of rape. X rays of her body had apparently shown teeth indentations on her neck and shoulder, and where were the X ray records? The marks made by Leo Frank's teeth were also found.
The most important details in this text are the details of the murder of Mary Phagan. On April 26, 1913, Monteen Stover, a fellow worker at the factory with Mary Phagan, came forward to tell the police that she had come for her pay on April 26, but was unable to collect it because Frank was absent from his office. On April 30, 1913, a coroner's inquest began and Leo Frank repeated his story concerning his whereabouts on April 26. On May 8, 1913, the jury returned a verdict of murder at the hands of a person or persons unknown. Some who have studied the case believe that Leo Frank, rather than Newt Lee, was responsible for the murder.
The Mary Phagan case suggests that many people in Atlanta, including the police and Fulton County solicitor General Hugh Dorsey, demanded Leo Frank's indictment and conviction due to his status as an outsider. Jim Conley, a semiliterate poor friendless negro with a chain gang record, was seen washing a shirt at a faucet in the factory, causing an anonymous informer to suggest there could have been blood on the shirt. He gave four affidavits, the last of which helped convict Leo Frank. Some writers, such as Harry Golden, feel that many Atlantans were grossly antisemitic and accused Frank of the murder because he was Jewish. Luther Otterbine Bricker, who was the pastor of the first Christian Church in Bellwood where Mary Phagan went to Bible school, described the high feelings which ran through Atlanta regarding the murder of little Mary Phagan in a letter to a friend dated May 26, 1942, which he allowed to be published in 1943.
The newspapers were filled with stories, affidavits and testimonies that proved the guilt of Leo M. Frank beyond the shadow of a doubt. The police got prostitutes and criminals on whom they had something to swear to, and the general public was in a frenzy. Frank was brought to trial in mob spirit, and the jury did exactly as the juror wanted it to. It has been said that solicitor general Hugh Dorsey had strong feelings about Frank's guilt, and through the years there has been much speculation on what brought about Dorsey's certainty that Frank was guilty. In a 1948 study of the Mary Phagan Leo Frank case, Henry L. Bowden reported a conversation with Hugh Dorsey that shed light on the prosecutor's feelings about Leo Frank.
Dorsey reportedly told Bowden that someone had planted a bloody shirt in a well on the property where Newtley lived and that as he and several of the force, including Boots Rogers, the local detective, were riding out to the property to check on the shirt, Dorsey was suspicious of Frank. Dorsey arranged for all the detectives and operatives on the case to report to him directly rather than to the police force, and that defense counsel were kept in complete ignorance as to what Dorsey's evidence consisted of. Dorsey sought Frank's indictment for the following reasons: Frank had sent Newt Lee away at 04:00 p.m. and then called the factory at 07:00 p.m., which Lee claimed Frank had never done before.
The most important details in this text are that Leo Frank had not answered Newt, Lee's or Captain Starne's telephone calls, had not wanted to come to the factory, and had accused J.M. Gantt of being intimate with Mary Phagan. The police officers who had taken Frank to the mortuary recalled his extreme nervousness and the fact that Frank had inquired about their finding Mary Phagan's pay envelope. At the inquest, J.W. Coleman stated that Mary often said things went on at the factory that were not nice and that some of the people there tried to get fresh.
Additionally, Dorsey felt that Frank's Cook manola McKnight's first statement was true. Miss Lucille said to Mrs. Selig that Mr. Frank didn't rest so good Saturday night and that he told her Saturday night that he was in trouble and that he didn't know the reason why he would murder and he told her to get his pistol and let him kill himself. Miss Lucille didn't know why Mrs. Frank didn't come to see her husband, but it was a good The affidavit of Montane Stover following the coroner's verdict added credence to Dorsey's suspicions that Leo Frank was the murderer. The jury also pointed to their theory that the murder took place on an upper floor of the factory and that the body was taken to the basement with the intention of burning it. Dorsey had indictment forms drawn up for both Leo Frank and Newtley on May 24, but after the last testimony was heard, he asked for a true bill against Frank. The jury complied and returned an indictment charging Leo Frank with first degree murder.
The most important details in this chapter are that the narrator is Mary Phagan-Kean, a great niece of William Jackson Phagan and Angelina O'Shields Phagan. At age 15, the narrator is certain of one thing their life will be shaped by their relationship to little Mary Phagan. They go to Atlanta's archives to discover more about the family, including the trial of Leo Frank and the lynching. The narrator's great great grandparents, William Jackson Phagan and Angelina O'Shields Phagan, made their home in Akworth, Georgia, and their children included William Joshua Haney McMillan, Charles Joseph Ruben Egbert, john Marshall, george Nelson, lizzie Marietta, john Harvell, maddie Louise, billy Arthur and Dora Roth. The eldest son, William Joshua, loves the land and farmed with his father, and on December 20, 791, he married Fanny Benton.
The Reverend J. D. Fuller presided over the Holy Bands of Matrimony for William and Fanny Joshua in Cobb County, Georgia. William and Fanny became successful farmers and moved to Florence, Alabama in 1895. In February of 1899, William Joshua Phagan died of measles and Fanny was left with their four young children. On June 1, Mary Anne Phagan was born to Fanny in Florence, Alabama. Fanny moved her family back home to Georgia where she planned to live with her widowed mother, Mrs. Nanny Benton, and her brother, Rel Benton.
Fanny figured there would be more opportunities in a densely populated area. Southern society was changing rapidly and the younger generation did not know the high feelings of the War between the States and the Reconstruction. WJ Phagan moved his family back to Georgia after the death of his eldest son in 1907. He purchased a log home and land on Powder Springs Road in Marietta and provided Fanny with a home for her and her five children to live in. After 1910, Fannie and four of her five children moved to East Point, Atlanta, Georgia, where she started a boarding house and the children found jobs in the mill.
Charlie Joseph, the middle child, decided to continue farming and moved in with his Uncle Ruben on Powder Springs Road in Marietta. Mary found work at the National Pencil Company in Atlanta. The Phagan family remained close with relatives in Marietta, where they played games such as hide and seek, hopscotch, dolls and house. Mary's favorite game was house, where the girls would clear a clean spot in the shade, place rocks in it for chairs, and decorate the inside of the house using limbs from trees or other big branches already on the ground.
The most important aspect are the stories of Fanny and her children. Fanny married J. W. Coleman, a cabinet maker, and they moved to JW's house at 146 Lindsay Street in Atlanta, near Bellwood, a white working class neighborhood. After marrying, Fanny requested that Mary quit work at the pencil company and continue her education, but Mary liked her work at the factory and didn't want to quit. Benjamin Franklin joined the Navy, Ollie became a sales lady for Rich's department store, and William Joshua, Jr. continued to work in the mills.
The most important details in this audiobook are the conditions of life in Atlanta in 1913. There were no paved roads in Marietta and Cobb County, including the square in Marietta, and people used wagons and carriages to travel the 25 miles to Atlanta. Telephone service had come in 25 years earlier, and water and electric had only been available for five years. Cobb was considered an agricultural county and had practically no industries. Justice, law and order were also vastly different. After the War Between the States, night riders and lynchings led to night riders and lynchings. Atlanta in 1913 still hadn't reached a half million in population, but it had grown significantly since 1865.
There was light industry, including the National Pencil Company at 37 39 Foresight Street, and mills were the most numerous and a few breweries. Life in 1913 was casual and slow, and people got most of their news from local newspapers. Sanitary conditions were terrible, and sanitation workers were called honey dippers. Typhoid fever was all over the place, and boys wore knee pants until they completed grammar school. The South had not recovered from the ravages of the War Between the States and Georgia, and the economy was shifting from the land to industry.
Mary Phagan was a beautiful little girl with a fair complexion, blue eyes and dimples. She was Grandmother Fanny's youngest child and had a bubbly personality and was the life of their home. She was juvial, happy and thoughtful towards others. The last Vegan family gathering was a welcome home for Uncle Charlie, and Mary's cousin Lily envied her a particular dress she had on. Early in April, Mary was rehearsing for a play she was in at the First Christian Church.
Mary was a member of the Adrial class of the first Christian Bible school and wanted to look her best for the contest given by the school. On Confederate Memorial Day, she planned to go up to the National Pencil Company to pick up her pay and then watch the parade. She was excited about the holiday and wore her special lavender dress, lace trimmed, which her Aunt Lizzie had made for her. She wore a corset with hose supporters, corset, cover, knit underwear, an undershirt drawers, a pair of silk garters and a pair of hose. She wore a pair of low heeled shoes and carried a silver mesh bag made of German silver, a handkerchief and a new parasol.
When Mary had not returned home at dusk, her great grandmother began to worry and her husband went downtown to search for her. He thought perhaps she had used her pay to see the show at the Bijou Theater, but found no sign of her. He returned home and suggested that Mary must have gone to Marietta to visit her grandfather, W. J.
Mary had been found murdered in the basement of the National Pencil Company, a four story granite building plus basement, located at 37 39 Forsyth Street. Her body was discovered at 03:00 in the morning on April 27, with her left eye struck with a fist, an inch and a half gash in the back of the head, and strangled by a cord embedded in her neck. Her undergarments were torn and bloody, and her body had been dragged across the basement floor. There were fragments of soot, ashes and pencil shavings on the body, and drag marks leading from the elevator shaft. There were no skin fragments or blood under her fingernails which indicated she hadn't inflicted any harm on whoever did it. Two scribbled notes were found near her body, on company carbon paper.
Ther was a photostatic copy of two nearly illiterate notes written by a long, tall black Negro. The notes were written while the child was playing with him and he promised to love her and land dune play like Night Witch did. The father sat silently while the child read the notes and when they went up to tell William Jackson Phagan, the father remembered it word for word. The living God will see to it that the brute is found and punished according to his sin. The father hopes that the murderer will be dealt with as he dealt with the innocent child and that he suffers anguish and remorse in the same measure as she suffered pain and shame.
The funeral service of Little Mary Phagan, the innocent young victim, was one of Atlanta's blackest and most beastial crimes. The pallbearers carried the casket into the Second Baptist Church, a tiny country church, where every seat had been taken and hundreds were standing outside to hear the sermon. Mary Phagan cried and her soul was as pure and as white as her body, and the whole church wept. Before the completion of the hymn, the Reverend T-T-G called for divine justice.
Mary Phagan was the innocent young victim of one of Atlanta's blackest and most beastial crimes. Her body was carried into the Second Baptist Church, a tiny country church, where hundreds were standing outside to hear the sermon. The choir sang Rock of Ages, but Grandmother Fanny cried as if her heart would break. The Reverend T-T-G. Lincus, pastor of Christian Church at East Point, prayed with those at the Second Baptist Church. The speaker thanked God for teaching Mary to fear God and love Him, and prayed for the police and detectives of the city of Atlanta to perform their duty and bring the wretch that committed the act to justice.
They also prayed for the authorities to apprehend the guilty party or parties and punish them to the full extent of the law. The speaker believed in the law of forgiveness, yet did not see how it could be applied in this case. The most important details in this text are the words of Dr. Lincus to the family of Mary Phagan Coleman, who was killed by a heartless wretch. Dr. Lincus warns the family not to watch their children too closely, as Mary's purity and the hope of the world above the sky is the only consolation they can offer. After the funeral service, the crowd viewed the body of Mary with a mutilated and bruised face.
Dr. Lincus helped Mary's sister Ollie and her brother Ben, now a sailor on the United States ship Franklin, while the smaller brothers, Charlie and Joshua, brought up the rear. The funeral service went on, with the words "Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust." However, no words expressed by Dr. Lincus could heal the wounds in their hearts. As the first shovel of earth was thrown down into the grave, Fanny Phagan Coleman broke down completely and wailed. Mary was taken away when the spring was coming. She loved the spring and played with it.
She took the preacher's handkerchief and walked to the edge of the grave and waved it. Her father stopped and asked her questions about the trial of Leo Frank and its aftermath. She felt guilty for the upset and the memories he drew up on her behalf had already caused him. He blinked back the tears and his smile was tremulous. A few days later, they sat down again and Mary asked her questions about how Grandmother Fanny stood up while the trial was going on.
Mary Phagan was last seen alive on the 26 April 1913, about a quarter to twelve, at home at 146 Lindsay Street. She was fair, complexed, heavyset, very pretty and was extra large for her age. When Sergeant Dobbs described the condition of Mary's body when they found her in the basement, he stated that she had been dragged across the floor, face down, that was full of coal cinders and this caused the punctures and holes in her face. Grandmother Fanny had to leave the courtroom, and now it was Mary's mother who had to compose herself.
The most important details in this text are that the funeral director WH. Geesling testified that he moved little Mary's body at 04:00 in the morning on April 27, 1913. He stated that the cord she had been strangled with was still around her neck and there was an impression of about an 8th of an inch on the neck and her tongue stuck an inch and a quarter out of her mouth. Leo Frank's religious faith had nothing to do with his trial, and his religious faith had nothing to do with his religious faith. The courtroom atmosphere was strict and Judge Leonard Rohn maintained strict discipline.
The newspapers gave a daily detailed report on the court proceedings and there were many extras printed each day. Judge Rohn was considered by all to be more than fair and the Atlanta Bar held him in high esteem for his ability in criminal law. Leo Frank's lawyers were the best money could buy. The most important details in this text are that Leo Frank was a Northerner and a capitalist, who had two of the best criminal lawyers in the south, Luther Rosser and Ruben Arnold. His defense was not good enough to offset Hugh Dorsey's tactics, and he was later rewarded with the biggest prize in state politics.
Leo Frank was born in Texas, but moved to Brooklyn, New York and was a graduate of Cornell University. He was a capitalist, but it meant a lifestyle that few people could maintain and bred resentment. His father explained that sexual perversion was something society did not accept as normal today, and that anyone who dared to make that charge had better have been prepared to die for it. Governor Slayton commuted Leo Frank's sentence, and the family still asks why he did so. The family does not accept Governor Slayton's explanation in his order, but he did just that with the commutation order.
The most important details in this text are that Governor Slayton was a member of the law firm that defended Leo Frank, and that the Vigilante group traveled by car model T Ford's and removed Frank from prison. They called themselves the Knights of Mary Phagan and this group later became the impetus for the modern Ku Klux Klan. The Vigilante group traveled by car model T Ford's and removed Frank from prison, but they stopped in a grove not far from where Little Mary was buried. They carried out his original sentence to be hung by the neck until dead, but not one man was charged with the death of Leo Frank and not one man was ever brought to trial.
The most important details in this text are related to the lynching of Little Mary Phagan in 1915. Jim Conley's testimony helped to convict Leo Frank for the murder of Little Mary Phagan, and circumstantial evidence and Jim Conley's testimony caused Leo Frank's conviction for the murder of Little Mary Phagan. Jim's grandfather told him that he had met with Jim Conley in 1934 to discuss the trial and the part Conley had played in helping Leo Frank dispose of the body of Little Mary. Jim said that he watched for Mr. Frank like before and then he stomped and whistled, which meant for him to unlock the door. He then went up the steps and Mr. Frank looked funny and told him that he wanted to be with the little girl, but she refused, and he struck her and she fell.
When Jim saw her, she was dead. Jim Conley, a black man, was asked by his grandfather why he helped Mr. Frank because he was white and his boss. Jim answered that he was afraid if he didn't do what he was told that he might get hanged, as it was common for blacks to be hanged. After seeing that Little Mary was dead, Jim Conley helped Mr. Frank by rolling her in a cloth and putting her on his shoulder. He then went to the elevator to the basement and rolled her out on the floor.
Then Mr. Frank went up the ladder, and Jim went on the elevator. The story ends with Jim Conley asking his grandfather if he had told him to burn Little Mary in the furnace. Jim Conley was a black man in Atlanta in 1913 who could read and write, but more importantly, he was not simple. He was a man who would do what any man would do to stay alive, mixing the truth with lies self-consciously knowing that his life was at stake. His father shook his head and gave four different affidavits, telling the story of a man who knew he was walking on a red hot bed of cinders and knew that no matter which way he turned, he would be burned.
The story highlights the importance of understanding and respecting differences between people of different backgrounds. Jim Conley returned to the pencil factory with the Atlanta detectives and showed them how he had found the body of Little Mary in the metal room. He then rolled the body out on the floor and Leo Frank went up the ladder to be on alert for anyone coming into the factory. He then explained why Little Mary was dragged face down across the basement. Jim Conley did know what he was doing, but there were two factors that outweighed his sense of righteousness: fear of the white man and greed for money. This is what he later told his father when they met.
The Phagan family has taken a vow of silence due to Grandmother Fanny's request that everyone not talk to the newspapers. The author's father had asked his father over 20 years ago why the family had taken a vow of silence due to the shadow of Little Mary Phagan and how her legacy had affected his life. One summer morning, the author's father sat down beside him wanting to talk about his grandmother, Little Mary's mother. The author recalls many times waking up in Grandmother Fanny's bed trying to figure out how he got there beside her. Grandfather Coleman had a small country store with a gas pump, and the author was allowed to have anything that he wanted in the treasure house.
Grandfather Coleman was always there to guide the author and help them in making their choice. Over 50 years have passed, but those days are vivid to the author now as they were then. Grandmother Fanny was a very special person to the author. The most important details in this text are that the narrator's grandmother, Fanny, died in 1937. The narrator's mother opened a hamburger, hot dog and sandwich stand on the corner of Hunter and Butler Street, which was only a half of a block from the Big Rock Jail.
The narrator's father worked in the cotton mills as a weaver, and his mother opened a hamburger, hot dog and sandwich stand on the corner of Hunter and Butler Street. The narrator's mother opened a hamburger, hot dog and sandwich stand on the corner of Hunter and Butler Street, which was only a half of a block from the Big Rock Jail. The narrator's father worked in the cotton mills as a weaver, and his mother opened a hamburger, hot dog and sandwich stand on the corner of Hunter and Butler Street, which was only a half of a block from the Big Rock Jail. The narrator's mother opened a hamburger, hot dog and sandwich stand on the corner of Hunter and Butler Street, which was only The most important details in this text are that Little Mary was the youngest of five and was doted on by all, even her grandfather, W. J. Grandmother Fanny would describe to the narrator how she would comb Little Mary's hair and put it up in pigtails, and dress her up in her finest clothes to go to church.
Little Mary was beautiful to her parents, and she was going to be a real beauty when she grew up. The narrator's father looked at the narrator intently, as if they had seen it all before. The narrator's father, William Joshua Phagan, Jr., was known to the family as Little Josh and was a good student. By the time the narrator was eleven, they began to ask questions about their aunt, Little Mary. Little Mary had a lively imagination and wanted all the things that any young girl wanted in those days, such as ribbons or a special comb for her hair.
By the time the narrator was eleven, they began to ask questions about their father, William Joshua Phagan, Jr., who was known to the family as Little Josh. The narrator's father broke into a grin and no one ever accused the Phagans of being too tall. The narrator's father, William Joshua Phagan, Jr., was known to the family as Little Josh and was a good student.
Ollie and Little Mary were only one year apart, and Ollie felt a lot of pride about being the older brother to a sister to whom he was a shining white knight. Grandmother Fanny had everyone put on their best clothes for church on Sundays, and everyone had a hand in helping Little Mary to dress up. When the Phagan family got together, it was like a picnic with all the food and stuff that was on hand to eat. Ollie's father broke into his thoughts before the first day, and everyone would turn to the subject of Little Mary. Grandmother Fanny often told them about the death of her husband, William Joshua Phagan, who had fathered her five children, and then she would talk about J.W. Coleman, whom she married in 1912. This was the man Ollie was to know as his grandfather. The Phagan family lived in the Bellwood subdivision of the Exposition Cotton Mill area, where Little Mary had left home to go to town for her wages and to see the parade. Grandmother would tell her story about the Saturday Confederate Memorial Day when Little Mary left home to go to town for her wages and to see the parade. After the war, Great Uncle Ben was in the Navy and the Phagan family began to drift apart.
People were starting to work as many as six days a week and family gathering was to become a thing of the past. However, the family still spoke about Little Mary and the narrator felt for the first time in their life that they had lost someone that was very real to them. However, there was less time for storytelling and the narrator's curiosity increased since people would still ask questions about Little Mary and there was still Fanny. The most important details in this text are that the narrator's grandmother told them stories about Little Mary Phagan and the hope she had for her. In 1943, when the narrator started junior high school, they were asked if they were kin to Little Mary Phagan.
One kid brought a record with The Ballad of Mary Phagan on it, which Fiddling John Carson had written and recorded. This was the first time the narrator had heard the song on a record. The narrator's grandmother was right about how pretty she was and the hope she had for her. Even today, when the narrator looks at Little Mary's picture, they can see that she would have grown into the beautiful woman that their grandmother expected her to be. The narrator's family had an RCA radio and record player, which they held onto for years until it was lost.
During the war, women had to work in the plants and shipyards, and the narrator's mother went to work at the Bell Bomb plant in Marietta, Georgia. The narrator's sister Annabelle and mother went to work in the shipyards in Portland, Oregon and Marietta, Georgia, and the narrator's mother went to work at the Bell Bomb plant in Marietta, Georgia. The narrator joined the Navy in July 1945 and was sent to boot camp in San Diego, California. By then, books had been written and movies had been made of Little Mary's murder.
Death in the Deep South, a fictional book about the murder and its aftermath, was made into a movie called They Don't Forget. Lena Turner played the part of Little Mary, but the names were changed and the Phagan family remained silent. The narrator was invited to play golf with a group of civilian and naval personnel and was asked questions about Little Mary. Later, when his shipmates on the USS Major De 796 began to ask him questions about Little Mary, the narrator became a storehouse of information on the subject. When the narrator met his mother in Chicago in 1952, it was love at first sight.
He went out of his way to meet all the civilian flight line mechanics at Warner Robbins Air Force Base in Macon. Little Mary had slipped to the back of the narrator's mind over the years. When the flight line mechanics learned the author's name, they began to question the author about Little Mary Phagan. This renewed interest in Little Mary was to play a major role in the life of another little girl who would be born in June of 1954. When the author arrived back at Larson Air Force Base, they were informed that they had been selected to attend flight engineer school at Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul, Illinois.
This break allowed them to learn more about each other and how they would spend the years to come. When the author was transferred back to the past again, the question was asked again about the author's name by other student flight engineers. The author had not told their mother the story of Little Mary, and was transferred back to the past again. The 62nd Military Airlift Wing was redesignated the 62nd Military Airlift Wing on January 8, 1956. It was under a new command, the Military Air Transport Service, which was the best and biggest airlift armada in the world.
Mats, the backbone of deterrence, was the motto and creed of the 62nd Military Airlift Wing, which was flying all over the world in all kinds of trouble spots where there was dire need for airlift. The 62nd Military Airlift Wing had accumulated over 2000 hours of flying in Alaska and was considered to be a cold weather expert. They were now under a new command, the Military Air Transport Service, which was the best and biggest airlift armada in the world. They were flying all over the world in all kinds of trouble spots where there was dire need for airlift. The narrator finds that their name rang bells with those familiar with Little Mary Pagan.
They were assigned to the 16 Eight Military Air Transport Wing in Charleston, South Carolina in January 1959. When they arrived, they were assigned to the 17th Air Transport squadron. When they signed their daughter up for kindergarten, people would sing The Ballad of Mary Phagan and tell them stories that they had never heard before. The narrator's brother Michael was born in September 1959 in Charleston. They all went to Japan and Hawaii and returned to the continental US in 1964.
Mr. Henry, the 8th grade teacher, asked Mary if she was related to Little Mary Phagan. Mary nodded, unable to speak, but her father encouraged her to research and investigate the facts for herself. He told her that the trial record spoke for itself and that for her own peace of mind she would have to interpret the facts herself. Mary's determination to learn all she could about her great aunt intensified, while her aspirations as to a future career became both evident and important to her. These Unanswered Questions remained with her throughout her high school years, while her resolve to learn all she could about her great aunt intensified and her aspirations as to a future career became both evident and important.
The most important details in this text are that the speaker wanted to teach blind and visually impaired children, and their senior year was particularly gratifying. They were allowed to leave campus for joint enrollment at a college or for employment, and their counselor, Mrs. Drury, had discovered that McLendon Elementary School, not far from the high school campus, would love to have them as a volunteer. The speaker was the first recipient of the Youth Achievement award from the De CALB County Rotary clubs, and was accepted at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida.

Mary Phagan Keane's "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" is an oral history of her family. It was written by Mary Richards Phagan, Annabelle Phgan, Cochrane Lily Phagan, Baswell John Phagan Durham, Jay C. Gear, Lisa Sorel, Tom Watson Brown, Bill Kenny, senior editor of the Marietta Daily Journal, Franklin Garrett, historian, Atlanta Historical Society, George Keeler, son of OB Keeler Mariettan, Michael H.

love and encouragement. The author placed a single red rose on the grave and traced over the name Mary Phagan. The epitaph was one the author knew by heart. The author saw an old couple trudge up the grassy hill towards the grave and asked if they could help them.
The most important details in this text are that the narrator is related to Little Mary Phagan, who was murdered on April 26, 1913, in downtown Atlanta. The narrator's great aunt, Mary Phagan, was killed on April 26, 1913, and her story remains with them. The narrator's great aunt, Mary Phagan, looks a lot like her, and the narrator's father, the first sergeant of the 17th Air Transport Squadron, was stationed in Charleston, South Carolina.

The narrator's father, the first sergeant of the 17th Air Transport Squadron, was stationed in Charleston, South Carolina, and the narrator's 8th grade The most important details in this text are that the narrator's father is related to a little girl named Mary Phagan, who was murdered in Atlanta years ago. The narrator's father tells the narrator that Mary Phagan was her grandfather's sister and that she had caught the English
Avenue streetcar the morning of Saturday, April 26, 1913 to go to the National Pencil Company where she had worked in downtown Atlanta to pick up her wages of $1.20. She had made plans to stay and watch the parade. Governor Joseph M. Brown and other dignitaries were to share the reviewing stand. The War Between
the States had been over for only 48 years, and the day would change the lives of everyone it touched.
Tom Watson would be elected to the United States Senate and his statue placed in front of the Georgia State Capitol building. Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey would ride right into the governorship of Georgia. The most important details in this text are related to the story of Little Mary Coleman, a beautiful young child who was brutally raped and murdered in the pencil factory in Atlanta in 1906. Newt Lee, the night watchman, found her body in the basement next to the coal bin that Sunday morning at about 03:00 a.m. He feared for his life and called the police. Two notes were found by her body, but Mary did not write them. Grandmother Fanny had been expecting Mary back home that evening after the parade, but sundown came and still no little Mary.
Her body was taken to Bloomfields, a local undertaker which was also used as Atlanta's morgue. Her funeral was held on April 20, 1913 and her casket was surrounded by flowers. Leo Frank, the supervisor of the factory, was charged with the murder and his trial started on the 28th day of July that year. The case became famous because it was the first time in the history of Georgia and the south that a black man's testimony helped to convict a white man. In 1968, the narrator's father decided to retire from the United States Air Force and went to work for the United States Post Office as a letter carrier.
During their summer vacation in Chicago, the family moved to Atlanta, where the narrator was ready to settle down and live somewhere for more than a couple of years. When school began, the narrator soon learned that making friends might be difficult, as most of the Cliques had gone to school together since kindergarten. To their surprise, most of the teachers asked the narrator that question on the first day. The narrator was surprised to learn that most of the teachers asked the narrator that question on the first day. The narrator is horrified to learn that they are related to Little Mary Phagan, who was murdered in Atlanta.
They decide to ask their grandfather, William Joshua Phagan, Jr., about his little sister, but he was beginning to show his age and his communication skills were hampered. One day, he came out with Little Mary's picture and pointed to the narrator. He sobbed and tried to find the words, but nothing came out. The narrator then decides to ask their father if he could tell why he named them after Little Mary, and he is ready for the question. The narrator had determined from the day their mother and father were married to name their first girl child after their great aunt, Little Mary Phagan.
This was a tribute to their father, who had been born on June 1 and the narrator was born on June 5. As soon as the narrator was big enough, they would take the narrator with them when they were not out flying. When the narrator was about four years old, they bore a striking resemblance to their great aunt, Little Mary, but at that early age, it made no difference or impression on her.
When the narrator was four and a half, their father was assigned to the 16 Eight Military Air Transport Wing in Charleston, South Carolina. When they arrived in Charleston, they were assigned to the 17th Air Transport Squadron. In January 1960, their father was presented with an Individual Flying Safety award and was assigned to the 1503rd Air Transport Wing in Tachikawa Air Base, Japan. The narrator had a sister and two brothers and was flying mostly into Korea and the Philippines. In December 1964, the narrator was promoted to master sergeant and returned to the continental United States.
The narrator's life took a turn when the narrator came home from school crying and asking about Little Mary. The narrator had mixed emotions and feared that their legacy would submit them to discourteous people.
Daddy encouraged the narrator to hold their head high, stand proud, and face the world. The narrator's family had a vow of silence for close to 70 years, which had been imposed on them by Fanny Phagan Coleman, Mary Phagan's mother at the time of her death. The murder, trial of Leo Frank and his lynching have deeply affected the lives of all involved.
The narrator's family had hoped that the lynching of Leo Frank would be the final ending of the tragedy, but it hasn't been. The narrator has been asked the question all their life, both inside and outside of Georgia.
