Goofing off for the kids.
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. Wing, member of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, Stuart Lewingrub, Southeast Regional Director of the Anti- Defamation League, Betty Cantor, associate Director of Southeast Office of the AntiDefamation League, Charles Wittenstein, Southern Council of the AntiDefamation League, and Bernard and her friends for their
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 science teacher at R b. Stahl High school registered astonishment when the narrator told him their name was Mary Phagan.
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.

All the principals in the trial are dead now, and the obituary of each of them mentioned their connection to the murder of Little Mary Phagan.

The legacy left to the narrator is a difficult one, but they have had to accept it.

During the next three years, few questions were asked about Little Mary, and the narrator extended their tour for another year to go to Hawaii.
In December 1964, the narrator was promoted to master sergeant. The narrator's life took a turn when they returned to the continental United States in July 1965. On the day they returned, they were asked about Little Mary Phagan, the great niece of Little Mary Phagan. The narrator had mixed emotions and was frightened for their daughter.

Long before June 1915, John Marshall Slayton had agonized over the proposed commutation of Leo Frank's sentence. He received more than 100,000 letters pleading for a commutation or pardon for Frank and Georgia, and national newspapers reminded him and the public of his power of forgiveness and his responsibility to wield it. Several governors and senators backed the motion to pardon Frank, but efforts were also made by leaders across the country. South-North resentment and animosity rekindled with such ferocity that newspapers across the country covered the development. Most people outside Georgia sympathized with Leo Frank and again attacked Georgia's anti-industrial, anti-Semitic sentiments, and police incompetence. After the Supreme Court denied Frank's motion in April 1915, his lawyers began lobbying for an administrative pardon. The most important information in the document is that the sitting governor of Georgia, John Marshall Slayton, was politically respected and was running for the United States Senate. Judge Morris argued that Slayton was a member of the law firm defending Frank, and that Slayton had been a name partner in the law firm of Rosser, Brandon, Slayton and Phillips since May 1913. The Cobb Democratic Executive Committee publicly asked Slayton to resign as governor or to assure the Georgians that they would not commute Frank's sentence, but Slayton also refused. Frank said he was to be hanged on June 22, 1915, and Slayton said he was to be succeeded by Nat Harris on June 26, 1915. Mr. Slayton could have granted a reservation and let Mr. Harris decide on the motion to reduce, but he and others felt that Mr. Harris would reject the motion. Slayton retired to his home on the outskirts of town and petitioned the Supreme Court for a ruling on the issue of mob influence in court. He studied other Court of Appeals' official rulings, trying to find a balance between Georgia's judicial integrity and mob rule. After visiting the pencil factory, Slayton concludes that Conley must have been lying when she claimed to have used the elevator to move Mary Phagan's body from the second floor to the basement. Clayton took the elevator himself and confirmed that he had indeed reached the bottom, and evidence of this had come to light. Slayton spent a lot of time and attention researching elevators. On June 20, 1915, John Slayton locked himself in the library all day, working on the Frank case. He listened to lawyers for Hugh Dorsey and Leo Frank and the Marietta delegation led by former Governor Joseph M. Brown. When he came out of the library, he said he ordered a commutation. His wife got up and waited for him, and when she came out he said he had made his decision.
He had taken the precaution of taking Leo Frank a minute past midnight from Fulton Tower to the train station, then taking the train to Macon and then driving to the Mirageville Prison Farm. Through his own detective work and extensive reading of crime documents, Slayton was convinced that Leo Frank was innocent. John Slayton did not exonerate Leo M. Frank, but expressed his suspicions. Later that day, he issued a statement to the press, announcing that Frank's sentence would be commuted to life imprisonment. The statement was carefully crafted to carry no more weight than correcting the judge's mistake in denying further legal issues surrounding the case and assuring the public that there was no mob interference in the trial. . The case made headlines in US newspapers and resulted in more than 100,000 letters calling for leniency from various states. The people of Georgia want respect and goodwill from all states in the Union.
Thomas Jefferson wrote in the preamble to the Declaration of Independence that when it was necessary to break the political ties that one nation had with another, the reasons for the separation should be stated. Many newspapers and many people attacked Georgia over the sentence against Leo M. Frank, saying it was due to mob rule and that there was no evidence to support the sentence. The people of Georgia have a responsibility to protect the lives of their citizens and uphold the dignity of the law. Alternative mobs have been accused of terrorizing courts and juries by mobs to force juries to issue a verdict. The author believes that the facts of this case are presented with absolute fairness and firmness only to the point of truth.
An important detail in this audiobook is that Georgia has had the most comprehensive change of criminal jurisdiction of any state, and that defendants are free to voluntarily choose jurisdiction if they believe the issue is: A change of rights can be demanded: a fair trial is impossible. Any circle is given. Frank went to court without demanding a transfer and presented his case to his jury, which he accepted. After evidence was presented pointing to a crime against Frank with many unpleasant details, feelings for him became increasingly violent. He was the general manager of the factory and Mary Phagan was a poor worker. The document's most important detail is that the general manager asked the Cornell graduate to give her a chance and gave her time off when she refused.
The court audience expressed deep resentment towards Frank, but the court was unable to rectify it. Governor Brown said that with many people talking about the potential danger and the editor of a major newspaper suggesting trouble was expected, Governor Brown had the sheriff call the mansion to see if trouble was expected. rice field. The sheriff said he believed the lieutenant could stay out of any trouble.

A key detail in the document is that Frank promised to go to a baseball game with his brother-in-law on Friday afternoon, but broke off the engagement on the grounds of financial statements that needed to be prepared before the inquest jury. be. State officials said Frank was at the factory Saturday afternoon processing the body of Mary Phagan, which was the reason Newtley was given the unusual leave of absence. The cook's husband testified that he visited his wife at the home of the defendant's father-in-law, Selig, on Saturday, the day of the murder, and that Frank had come to dinner, but she had not eaten. Chef's affidavit was taken by investigators and she claimed it was taken under duress, which tended to corroborate her husband's story. The cook denied the veracity of her affidavit because she was extorted by her husband and investigators, threatened with imprisonment if she didn't comply, and her wages were increased by her parents, she said. explained. Frank.
A key detail in the chapter is that Ms. Frank and her mother had a conversation on Sunday morning, and evidence presented suggests that Mr. Frank manipulated the notes to burden Ms. MckNight. It means that it shows that he was not in the mood due to excitement. To do so, please read the instructions correctly. Montine Stober also testified that Mary Phagan's hair was washed with Pintal soap, but this would affect the doctor's ability to judge the similarity between lathe hair and Mary Phagan's hair. A large amount of cords from the person who strangled Mary Phagan was also found on the metal floor of the room and then severed in the basement. Detective Starnes testified that he had seen one such cable in the basement, but that it had been cut into pieces. Detective Holloway testified that these wires ran throughout the building and into the basement.
A key detail of the document is that the State has argued that the defendant's witnesses will change their testimony not against the defendant, based on the suggestions of counsel and the hearing. An examination of the files does not support claims that a lawyer was employed by the police department prior to Frank's arrest. The most surprising and spectacular testimony in the case came from Jim Conley, 27, a black man who was a regular member of a chain gang. He had worked there for two years and knew the factory very well. He had been working in a basement for two months and operating an elevator for a year and a half when he was arrested by investigators on May 1 and 13.
Two notes were found near the body in the basement. The most important details of this document are his two quotes on brown paper and a black handwritten notepad. The brown paper was a carbon copy of an order form with the headline "Quote Atlanta, Georgia 19", written in black handwriting. Investigators learned in mid-May of Conley's writing ability and prepared a affidavit and three affidavits, which the defendants submitted at their request. The affidavit assesses the content of the evidence he presented on the witness stand as follows: Mr Conley said Mr Frank asked him to come to the factory on Saturday and take care of him as before, which means Mr Frank expected to meet with the woman. claimed. If Frank stamped his foot, Conley would lock the factory door and whistle to open it.
Conley was in a dark place out of sight, next to an elevator, behind some boxes. Several people, including male and female employees, climbed the stairs to Frank's office, he noted. As Mary Phagan climbed the stairs, she heard a scream. As Frank stamped, Conley unlocked the door and went up the stairs. Conley found Mary Phagan lying in a metal room with a handkerchief under her neck and head, as if soaked in blood. Frank tells Conley to prepare a cloth, put the body in it, and carry it away from the changing room. Frank returns to the office, obtains the key and unlocks the panel to operate the elevator, and they roll the body out of the fabric. Frank climbed the ladder back to the first floor, Conley took the elevator, and Frank, who was on the first floor, took the elevator to the second floor where the office was. The most important detail of this text concerns the trial of Frank Conley. On May 31, 1913, an unindicted woman filed an affidavit that she saw Conley and Frank in a lively conversation on the corner of Forsyth and Nelson Streets. The state produced 10 witnesses who attacked Frank's character. Some of them were factory workers who testified that Frank's lustful reputation was bad and that they had been seen trying to marry Phagan, whom Frank exposed to the detectives. The defense presented nearly 100 witnesses to Frank's good character, including Atlanta residents, Cornell students, and Cornell professors. The state case omitted a number of cases that the state, on the whole, claimed to support Frank's guilt. Defendant was born in Texas and completed his education at the same institution. Conley's admission that he wrote the note found in the dead girl's body, the role he played in the deal he admitted, and his testimony about both writing the note and transporting the body to Keller. The story and explanation made the whole case revolve around Conley. The mystery of the case is how Mary Phagan's body was placed in the basement. She was found 46 feet from the elevator, her face suggesting she had been dragged through the dirt and ash. There were stains on her eyes and mouth. Conley took the body underground in an elevator with Frank on the afternoon of April 26, 1913, to speculate that Frank was able to walk 136 feet (about 40 meters) on the edge of the building where the body was removed. He testified that he was carried away to It's been found. Conley swore he didn't go back downstairs and took the elevator upstairs while Frank climbed the ladder at 03:00 on the morning of April 27: When investigators entered the basement through the basement, they found human feces in their natural state. Everyone, including Conley, admits that the elevator only stops when they reach the basement floor, but when they used the elevator, it crashed into the excrement, which they stepped on, causing Conley to Since being there it proved that the elevator has not been used again.
An important detail in this document is that Conley was strong and powerful, and that the place to watch in the dark was a few feet from the hatch leading to the basement. On Monday morning, he twice flushed the elevator shaft doors and forced Mary Phagan to walk within a few feet of Conley's unseen. Conley testified that he wrapped the body in a bag of crocuses at Frank's suggestion, but at trial he testified that he wrapped the body in a bed sheet similar to the Attorney General's shirt. The only reason for such a statement change was that if the bag of crocuses weren't torn apart, it would be too small for the purpose. Conley said that after the crime was committed, Frank suddenly said Emma Clarke and Corinthia Hall and locked Conley in a closet. According to the irrefutable testimony of two witnesses, they arrived at the factory at 11:35 a.m. and left at 11 :45 o'clock in the morning. Conley said Frank told him to leave his hat, slippers and ribbons there, but Frank took them and threw them 57 feet away in front of the cauldron. Frank also instructed Conley to lock the door when he stamped his foot and open it when he whistled, but Conley waited until he locked the door before unlocking it. board. Mary Phagan's wound extended to her skull near the top of her head, but did not bleed.
Barrett said six or seven strands of her hair were found on the lathe she was working on Monday morning, where she may have been punched and cut off her head. suggests. It is acknowledged that her blood was not detected there. The lathe is about three feet high, and Mary Phagan is said to be stocky and angular. Her wounds must have been so deep that she couldn't explain the difference between her height and her lathe's height. Some state witnesses testified that her hair resembled Mary Phagan's, but Dr. Harris said that under the microscope, Mary Phagan's hair was compared to the hair on the lathe, and that it was Mary Phagan's hair. concluded that it is not.
Barrett and others saw blood stains near the locker room, and Conley said he dragged her body away. Police Chief Beavers said he didn't know if it was blood, and Detective Stearns said he wasn't sure if the stain he saw was blood. Detective Scott was shown several specks of blood in the metal room. The most important detail in this text is that Dr. Claude Smith testified that in one of the chips he found 3-5 blood cells under the microscope, a half-drop was to blame. Frank says some of the stains left after picking up the chip weren't blood.
Barrett, who worked on the metal floor and had claimed a reward for finding hair and blood, said the stains were not present on Friday and that several witnesses confirmed it. Stated. There were testimonies that injuries occurred frequently in the factory, and that bleeding was not uncommon near the women's locker room. There was no blood in the elevator.
Dr. Smith, a bacteriologist in the city, said the presence of blood cells could be detected months after the blood dried. All of this is linked to the question of whether the murder took place in a metal room on the same floor as Frank's office. However, the patterns varied from quarter to quarter size, except near metal rooms at designated locations. A quarter the size of a palm leaf fan.
The defense obtained two affidavits and three affidavits from Witness Conley. The first statement, dated May 18, 1913, details his actions on April 26, naming the tavern he frequented and the whiskey and beer he purchased. On May 24, 1913, he wrote an affidavit for detectives stating that Frank had asked him if he could write it the Friday before the Saturday on which the murder took place. On May 28, 1913, he made another affidavit for detectives stating that after leaving home on Saturday morning, he bought two bottles of beer, went to a bar, and won $0.90 on dice. rice field. He then met Frank at the corner of Forsyth and Nelson Streets and asked him to wait until he returned. Mr. Conley went to the factory and mentioned various people he saw climbing the stairs from the spy location to Mr. Frank's office. An important detail in this document is that Frank Conley whistled and they entered a private office. Frank asked Conley if he could write and asked if he could dictate three times. When Conley crossed the street, he found a box containing two dollar bills and two silver coins. At the Beer Saloon, Conley bought half a pint of whiskey, $0.15 worth of beer, $0.10 worth of stovewood, a bratwurst worth of nickel, and gave his aging wife $3.50. Tuesday morning Frank came upstairs and told me to be a good boy. On Wednesday, Conley washed the shirts at the factory and hung them on a steam line to dry. On May 29, 1913, Conley filed another affidavit stating that Frank had told him he had picked up her girl and dropped her off. On May 29, 1913, Conley filed another affidavit stating that Frank had told him he had picked up her girl and dropped her off. On May 29, the key detail in this affidavit is that Conley picked up the girl and put her on her shoulders while Frank climbed back up the ladder. He also took her hat and slippers he had brought upstairs and threw them in the garbage pile in front of the stove. The affidavit also states that Mr. Frank handed Mr. Conley the money, and while Mr. Conley was looking at the money in his hand, Mr. Frank said, ``Give me this. It is also written. and nothing happens. ” The original affidavit was issued at the end of the affidavit. A key detail in the document is that on May 18, investigators detained Ms. Conley for a few hours to obtain her confession, but Ms. Conley denied having met the girl on the day of her murder. It is what I did. On May 25, I interrogated him for three hours, and when I repeated the story on May 27, we talked for about five to six hours. Regarding Conley's testimony and affidavit, Detective Scott, who was referred by the state, said: "We tried to impress that Frank didn't write that memo on Friday, that it wasn't rational, that it was deliberate, and that it wasn't possible," he said. He declined to testify further, saying he did so truthfully.
On May 28, Chief Ranford and his team spent five or six hours scrutinizing Quinn Conley, trying to uncover some of the outliers in his testimony. They drew attention to the fact that his previous testimony was well considered and unacceptable, and subsequently held that his previous testimony was well considered and unacceptable. After being told, it issued a statement on May 28. They tried to get him to talk about the little mesh bag, but he denied having seen it. On May 18, in Chef Ranford's office, they tried to persuade him to write, and he wrote down his testimony before a jury. Upon re-examination, Mr. Conley felt the need to explain the mesh bag, and for the first time stated that Mary Phagan's mesh bag was on Mr. Frank's desk, and Mr. Frank put it in the safe. This is the first mention of bags. The first indication that Frank was a pervert was Conley's testimony on the witness stand. He explained that Frank had a different build like other men, and that Jews were circumcised, so someone might have encouraged him to do so. Mr. Conley is also open to the proposal, he said, saying he knows that when he tells a story, he has to change it and tell the full truth. He also admitted that he wrote the notes found on Mary Phagan's body, and that the words "quote at the end of the quote" were dictated by a white man. Annie Maud Carter was also in prison and wrote many of the most vulgar, obscene letters I have ever read. These letters are the most vile and sexual I have ever read. The most important detail of this document is Conley's testimony and the use of the word "last quote" in Annie Maud Carter's memo. In Conley's testimony, he uses the words "quote Negro," and in Annie Maud Carter's note, "I have a negro looking at you." I also use the words , quote end, quote play end quote, quote, amateur, quote end, love, quote end, and quote myself, quote end. Defense attorneys point out that Conley's hallmark was his double use of adjectives: B. "long quote", "tall", "black", "black", "end quote", "long quote", "skinny", "tall", "black", "end quote". Conley was a tall, slender, beaked, and stocky man, using expressions such as "He was a tall, slender, beaked, and heavy man," and from 128 words I wrote four different notes, but only two were found. Detective Scott dictated eight words to Conley, which he swore took about six minutes to write. Frank said he provided information that Conley had signed a receipt at a particular jewelry store with a deal. At the time of the trial, the death certificate, written on brown paper, did not have a date line and stated Atlanta, Georgia, age 19. After that, when I put the paper under the magnifying glass, it was written in blue pen as follows. The name Becker was written there. He worked in a factory on the fourth floor.
Mary Phagan was murdered at a pencil factory on Sunday morning. Monte Stover looked at her watch and said she had arrived at 12:05. W.W. Rogers testified that both clocks were working and showing the correct time, so Montene Stover must have arrived before Mary Phagan. Lemmie Quinn testified that he arrived at Mr Frank's office at 12:20 pm and met Mr Frank at 12:30 pm. J.A. White called her husband at the factory and left before 1:00 p.m. At 12:50 p.m., Frank came up to the 4th floor and said he wanted to leave.
Evidence for the defense suggests that the transportation of the body took a very long time and did not match the exact time that the visitor saw Frank. The back door of the basement was Conley's escape route when he tried to escape from his creditors. Detective Stearns found traces of bloody fingerprints on the door and stripped two of what he believed to be bloody fingerprints from the door. The motive for this murder could be either robbery, or robbery and assault, or assault. The mesh bag was in Mary Phagan's hand, first described by Conley during re-examination at the trial. The doctors' testimony did not show this to be the case, but they testified that the excitement could have caused the blood to flood. Evidence indicates that Conley was the most depraved and lewd black man who ever lived in Georgia. The most important detail in this text is the jury verdict in the case of Leo M. Frank, who was convicted of murder. Juries are selected to consider evidence and determine its probative value, and the only authority that can consider the merits of a case and challenge the impartiality of a judgment is the judge of first instance. Constrained by the Constitution and the correction of errors of law, the Supreme Court found in the trial that no errors of law existed and rightly determined that there was sufficient evidence to support its ruling.
According to testimony, this negro had a habit of allowing men to go to the basement for immoral reasons, and when Mary Phagan passed him near the hatch leading to the basement, she may have attacked her. be. The Supreme Court concluded for granted that there was no legal error in the proceedings and that there was sufficient evidence to support the judgment. Orally from the bench, Judge Roan said he wasn't sure about the defendants' guilt, but didn't need to convince the jury that he had been persuaded. This statement was not included in the motion to annul the new trial because judges have the discretionary power to sentence defendants to life imprisonment if convicted of murder based on circumstantial evidence. But Judge Roan said that if the jury in State v. Frank was convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the evidence in the case was beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty of murder. I misunderstood my authority as evidence when I accused it of authority. The jury finds the defendant guilty.
The most important detail of the document is that Judge Roan, if Judge Roan had the extreme suspicion expressed in his testimony and remembered the powers conferred by law, he sentenced the defendant to life imprisonment. That is what I said. In a letter to lawyers, he said he would ask the prison commission to recommend the governor commuting Frank's sentence to life in prison. After months of consultation, an inquiry was made and Becker testified that from 1888 he worked in a pencil factory until 1912, during which time he signed orders for goods and consumables.
The brown paper on which the death certificate was written bears Becker's signature, and by the time Becker left Atlanta in 1912, all the blank papers bearing the number 19 had been exhausted. Philip Chambers testified that there was an unused purchase order in the office next door to Frank's, and that he had been in the basement of the factory where no books or papers were found for a long time. On Sunday morning, Sergeant Dobbs visited the scene and found a legal pad on the ground near the note. Officer Anderson testified that the basement was full of pencils and trash. Darley testified that the paper with the note was a blank order form and was likely to be found throughout the building. The most important details of this document are the evidence presented to the jury and the matter of time. The state said Mary Phagan visited Leo M. Frank's office to pick up her paycheck sometime between 12:05 p.m. claimed to have made a statement. Monteen Stover swears that he came to Frank's office at 12:05 p.m and stayed until 12:10 p.m, and that he did not enter the room in which Frank was said to be working. The only way to reconcile her statement would be if, for the first time in her life, she entered Frank's office instead of the room where he allegedly worked. If Frank were working at his desk, he wouldn't be visible from the antechamber.
According to Monte Stover's testimony, Mary Phagan had to come pick up her paycheck, and Frank took her back to her medal room, intending to murder her while Monte Stover was in the office. He said he was. Solid evidence indicates that Mary Phagan had dinner at 11:30 a.m., and tram drivers told her she was at the corner of Forsyth and Marietta Streets at 12:11 p.m. I was on trolley number 1150, which was due to arrive at The distance from this place to the pencil factory was about 5 minutes her 1 mile and the walk to the factory took her 4-6 minutes. The car appears to have arrived as normal, but may have arrived two to three minutes earlier than planned. Evidence suggests that Mary Phagan was murdered in a pencil factory between 12:05 and 12:10.
Monte Stover looked at her watch and said he had arrived at 12:05. W.W. Rogers testified that both watches were running and showing the correct time. Leme Quinn testified that he arrived at Mr Frank's office at 12:20 pm and met Mr Frank at 12:30 pm. Mrs. J.A. White called to meet her husband at her factory and she left before 1:00 PM. At 12:50, Frank came up to the 4th floor and said he wanted to leave. Evidence for the defense suggests that the transportation of the body took a very long time and did not match the exact time that the visitor saw Frank.
Evidence indicates that the lower door was unlocked when Mrs. White came in at 12:30 p.m. Detective Stearns found traces of bloody fingerprints on the door and stripped two of what he believed to be bloody fingerprints from the door. The motive for this murder could have been either robbery or assault, and there is no indication that Frank's motive was robbery. The mesh bag was in Mary Phagan's hand, first described by Conley during re-examination at the trial. The doctor's statement provided no information about his performance. Evidence indicates that Conley was the most depraved and despicable Negro who ever lived in Georgia, monitoring and describing the clothing and stockings of the women entering the factory. If Frank had hired Conley to babysit, it would have been just Mary Phagan, as he hadn't inappropriately proposed to another woman that day. An important detail in this document is that the jury found Leo M. It means that The Supreme Court found no error of law during the proceedings and concluded that there was sufficient evidence to support the judgment. First-instance judges are required to make wise judgments, and cannot allow judgments that they consider unjust.
In this regard, Judge Roan verbally stated that he was uncertain of the defendant's guilt. An important detail in this sentence is that Judge Roan, in charging the jury in State v. Frank, has the right to do so if he believes beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of murder. It means that he misunderstood his own authority as evidence when claiming that. Our jury finds the accused guilty. But if they go further and say nothing else in the verdict, the court will be forced to convict the defendant of the highest murder charges. H. hung around his neck until his death. The statement was not included in the motion to stop the new process under Article 63 of the Code. Judge Roan wrote to attorneys asking the prison board to recommend that the governor commute Frank's sentence to life in prison.
Although he was in a state of unease when he upheld the verdict, he is still unsure if Frank is guilty. The execution of a person whose guilt has not been fully proven is unthinkably horrific, and the Chief of State should make every effort to ascertain the truth.
The most important detail in this section of the chapter is that in the case of commutation, jury verdicts are not appealed, but that penalties for murder are imposed by the state and are penalties that a judge, without misunderstanding, would have imposed. That is. A pardon petition has been filed in the case of a white male hunter charged with murdering two white women in Savannah City. The Judge and Attorney General refused to recommend a pardon, but after reviewing the evidence and at the instigation of Savannah leaders who questioned the defendant's guilt, I commuted the sentence so that the innocent man could not be executed. . . Evidence was presented that he borrowed a gun, threatened him, and fled after the shooting. A key detail in the document is that the governor of Georgia refused to block an escapee from Fannon County Jail, commuting the sentence to life in prison. The judge and attorney general recommended a suspended sentence, which the governor granted, and on the judge's and attorney general's recommendation, the governor commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. Since then, three items have come to light since the trial, including Carter's memoirs and Dr. Carter's testimony. Harris said the hair on the lathe was not Mary Phagan's. The governor's conscience is a condemning conscience, and the governor cannot bear to be constantly dealing with a condemning conscience that reminds him that he did not do what he thought was right. The citation states that there are areas where the law allows life imprisonment instead of the death penalty, about which there is no reasonable doubt and absolute certainty. For Leo M Frank was plagued with doubts from the judge of the first instance, two Georgia court judges, two U.S. Supreme Court justices, and one of the three prison commissioners.
Governor John M. Slayton allowed the death penalty to be commuted to life imprisonment. The reaction to the cuts was immediate, with large angry rallies in Cobb, Fulton and other counties. In Marietta, a group hung a portrait of Frank and Slayton in the town park, and a portrait of the Governor with the words "Our Traitor Governor". The first issue of Tom Watson's The Jeffersonian continued to denounce and denigrate John Slayton, stating that "our great empire has been raped." A key detail of the document is that a mob was formed, allegedly marched to the state capitol to seek out and assault the governor.
Judge John J. Hart tried to address them as a pacifist, but they yelled at him. A mob then formed in Atlanta and attempted to march against the governor's home. Governor Slayton did not live in the governor's mansion, but in his own house. Fearing violence, the governor called in his bodyguards, members of the state militia. Captain Stokes was in charge, and Walter W. Foote was a relative of Pollard Turman's wife, Laura Trautman. The troops were stationed at a reasonable distance around the Governor's Palace.
Jefferson Davis McCord, former Athletic Director of Emory University, was a Private First Class in the University's Militia Division. A deadline was set on the street in front of the house, and the mob reached the line of troops. Lieutenant Foot attempted to address the crowd, but he was hit with a beer bottle. The mob dispersed, but the militia remained on guard for three days. During the week, violent anti-Semitic riots broke out, and Jewish businessmen in Atlanta and Marietta went out of business. Slayton risked his life to attend the inauguration of Nat E. Harris. Loud boos, hissing, and meowing erupted from the State Capitol as Mr. Slayton handed over the Georgia coat of arms. Slayton was able to leave Georgia unharmed and the following week he and his wife vacationed in Adirondack, New York, before embarking on a tour of Georgia, the Northeast, Midwest and Far West. Many years passed before the Slaytons' return seemed certain. John Slayton expressed his belief in Frank's innocence in a letter to his cousin Lamar on March 15, 1945. The letter described Sally, who never thought or did anything wrong when the mob threatened her home and life.
Sally accompanied all the meetings of the American Bar Association, and Justice Arthur Powell said of her that she was the Queen of her Bar Association. Sally made her debut at the White Greenbrier in Sulfur Springs and her sponsor and companion was Robert E. Lee's daughter Miss Mildred Lee. This letter was written to Sally for her amazing kindness and tenderness, and Sally would have been happy to have read it in her lifetime.
Leo Frank's move from Fulton Tower to Mirageville Prison Farm was done with utmost secrecy and efficiency. He went to work in the fields and his health improved. Mirage Building superintendent James T. Smith told reporters he could protect his prison from attacks. On the night of July 17, twice-convicted murderer William Crean cut Frank's throat with a butcher knife, nearly severing his carotid artery. Director Smith called J. W. Smith investigates the case. Physician Leo Frank, serving a life sentence in Mirageville, was there for two weeks until his death. His two letters to his mother and his brother (one to his mother and one to his brother) give an idea of his state of mind. Leo largely denies rumors that he is dead and alive. Simon Wolf has been very interested in Leo since he came here.
Leo is nearing his goal of good health and his wounds continue to heal rapidly. His appetite is still good and he steams apples for me. All that's left now is to get my strength back. He sits on his bed, but it will be a while before he can walk. An important detail in this text is the details of the incident that put the Order of Mary Phagan's plan to kidnap Frank on hold.
Tom Watson discussed the governor's pay cut order in Watson magazine, further fueling feelings about the order and against Slayton himself. Watson said that the arrogant governor of high society, gilded club life, and palatial surroundings proved to be lazy Pippin in the barrel of great honesty. The incident put on hold the well-conceived plan to kidnap Frank by the Knights of Mary Phagan. An important detail in the document is that Luther Rosser had been a partner of the Slayton Law Office since May 1913, and that the governor held a secret late-night meeting with Rosser before issuing the order. Late one night, Rosser drove down a side street, parked a block or two away from the governor's building, and walked down an alleyway.
He writes that Rosser went to Slayton's house and stayed there for hours until after midnight. According to Henry Borden, members of the public willingly acted as informants in the case. Operators, operators, elevator ladies, telegraph operators, and many others occupied the phones in Dorsey's home and office, and spoke few facts from work. One morning at 6:00 am: 12:00 a.m.: Dorsey spots the streetcar driver sitting on his doorstep and has all the information by the time Luther Rosser arrives at Governor Slayton's house the night before issuing the diversion order. rice field. Watson argued that Governor Slayton did not cross-examine Leo Frank or Jim Conley. Watson claimed there was unparalleled excrement in the elevator shaft, no bed mites in the pencil factory, no bed mites in the pencil factory, and hair on the second floor.
Barrett found her hair on the lathe handle early Monday morning and almost immediately attributed it to Mary Phagan because there was only one other girl with hair like Mary's Magnolia Kennedy. It turns out there is. Governor Slayton made it clear to the nation: Mr. Harris denied the merit of the state lawsuit. Ten days after Mary Phagan's death, her grave was opened and her hair removed from her head. Dr. Harris conducted a microscopic examination and found that the two specimens looked so similar that it was impossible to form a definite and definitive opinion as to whether they were taken from the same person's head. It turned out to be impossible. Mel Stanford, who worked for Frank for two years, testified that he cleaned the entire floor of the metal room on Friday, April 25.
He found a white hazelnut spot on the second floor near the dressing room that wasn't there on Friday. Deputy Commissioner and sworn attorney for the defendant, Herbert Schiff, testified that he saw the speck, as did other witnesses. Governor Slayton confirmed that the white substance Haskerin was found spread throughout the patch. Conley's Affidavit Conley was reluctant to betray his white superiors and denied any knowledge of his crimes. When he finally confessed, there was blood on Mary Phagan's panties and her vagina, suggesting some form of violence and sexual penetration prior to her death.
Governor Slayton claimed the bloodstains were due to a monthly illness. Annie Maud Carter's affidavit was rebutted, and both Conley and Carter swore that the letter had been tampered with and that the unprintable filth contained therein was a forgery. Philip Chambers and Herbert Schiff testified that the order forms were in the office next to Frank's and that the papers with the notes could be found throughout the factory. Monteen Stover's testimony indicates that Frank gave the exact time that the stenographer left at about 12:00 p.m.
00:00, or between 125:00 and 1210:00, or perhaps about 127:00, shortly after Mary Phagan arrived. Frank was unaware that Monteen Stover had entered his office, claiming he would be there at any moment.
Governor Slayton claimed that Frank must have been in the second office while Monteen Stover waited for him for five minutes, but she was looking for Frank in both the outside and inside offices, I swore the metal room door was closed. Where was Mary when Monteen was in the office from 12:05 to 12:00? Bloody fingerprints on the door. Why didn't Frank's attorney ask Jim Conley, the state's star witness, for fingerprinting? Judge Roan's statement that Judge Roan requested a reduced sentence.
Judge Roan's enthusiastic take on the facts and speculation of the case fueled fear, prejudice, and anger among the people of Atlanta, especially the working class, who were deeply affected by the tragedy of Mary Phagan's death. Watson's enthusiastic views of the facts and speculations about the case fueled fear, prejudice, and anger among the people of Atlanta, especially the working class, who were deeply affected by the tragedy of Mary Phagan's death. A group of about twenty men from the Order of Mary Phagan was selected to resume the mission to kidnap Leo Frank. Each was a husband and father, a wage earner and a churchgoer, all with well-known names from Cobb County. The mission was set up like a military operation, with a skilled electrician cutting prison wires, an auto mechanic keeping cars running, a locksmith, a switchboard operator, a paramedic, an executioner, and a common preacher. board. The route the hijackers would take was driven, measured and timed. The Lynch party left Marietta on August 16, 1915, arriving at the prison just before midnight. They cut the phone line and split into four groups. One group went to the garage and drained gas from all the cars, another went to Superintendent Burke's house and handcuffed him. A fourth group rushed to Frank's cell, woke him up, handcuffed his hands behind his back and took him to the back seat of the prison car. The kidnappers had the prison blueprints, cell locations, security posts, telephones and power lines. No effort was made to resist the group that kidnapped Frank. But his next two incidents occurred.
The man entrusted with guarding the Overseer was left behind, and the long-distance line to Augusta was not cut. The convoy returned to Marietta after a seven-hour, 150-mile journey along Roswell Road. One had to be abandoned due to a puncture on the way, but the rest were repaired. The original plan was to hang Frank from a tree in the Marietta City Cemetery or Marietta Square, but as night fell they headed for a more remote part of town. Frank demanded that the gold wedding ring be removed and returned to his widow, but they prepared to hang him. A brown khaki cloth was wrapped around Frank's waist, and a white handkerchief was pinned over his eyes. He was placed on a table and a 3/4 inch long rope was draped over the branch and around his neck. The impact of falling from the makeshift gallows opened his neck wound. Rumors quickly spread that on August 17, 1915, that Leo Frank had been hanged, dozens of people rushed to the place of execution on foot, on bicycles, on horseback, and in the few vehicles that were available at the time.
The most important details in this text are the events leading up to the lynching of Leo Frank. One of the first to arrive was a prominent young Mariettan who had been rejected as a lyncher due to his high temper and drinking habits. People with cameras snapped his picture as his body swayed in the breeze, and picture postcards of the lynching were sold for years as souvenir items in Georgia stores. When Frank's body was cut down, a citizen tried to grind his shoe into Frank's face. Newt A. Morris, a former judge of the Blue Ridge Circuit, stepped forward to stop him and to quiet the crowd.
John Wood, a Canton attorney, helped Morris load the body into a basket and place it in a WJ black funeral home wagon that hauled it to the National Cemetery gate, where it was placed in Woods car and rushed to Atlanta. A crowd gathered around the funeral home demanding to view the dead man's body, and police persuaded Mrs. Frank to consent. The crowds were allowed to view the body later. Leo Frank's body The Latin phrase "symphare edom" is carved on Leo Frank's tombstone. Ex Governor Slayton and Mayor Woodward of Atlanta were in San Francisco on the day of the lynching.
Ex Governor Slayton declared he preferred to have Frank lynched by a mob rather than by judicial mistake. Mayor Woodward declared that Frank had suffered a just penalty for an unspeakable crime. A Cobb County coroner's jury heard witnesses and ruled that Frank was hanged by persons unknown. Tom Watson sent a telegram to Mary Edden Robert E. Lee Hole, who applauded the hanging in putting the sodomite murderer to death. The vigilance committee has done what the sheriff would have done if Slayton had not been of the same mold as Benedict Arnold.
Georgia is not for sale to rich criminals in the Jeffersonian, he raged, and the priest wants the illiterate papal slave of Italy, Poland and Hungary. The capitalist wants cheap labor and the Jew wants refuge from race hatred. The south has not yet been deluged by the foreign flood, but native stock predominates and the old ideals persist. Employers of young girls may assume that they buy the girl when they hire her, but this can lead to trouble if they act as though they have a right to carnally use the persons of the girls who work for them. This was the mistake made by Leo Frank, and it cost him his life.
Jews throughout the Union made Frank's case a race issue in total contemptuous and aggressive disregard of the question of guilt. They arrogantly asserted that he had not had a fair trial without ever offering a scintilla of evidence to prove it. They tried to run over and quote the people and the courts of Georgia and we wouldn't let them do it. Leo Frank's wedding ring was delivered to OB Keeler, Marietta reporter for the Atlanta Georgian, at his Marietta home the following evening. On Thursday, August 19, Keeler's account of the incident was published in the Atlanta Georgian.
The banner headline read "Frank's wedding ring returned" and a two column, three line readout said "dying wish of mob's victim carried out by unknown messenger". The story was in twelve point type and occupied the two right hand columns of page one and continued on page two. Keeler's first person account read quote "old books say if you put beneath your pillow an object that has been associated with tragedy or any scene of great stress and profound emotional excitement, if such an object be placed near you while you sleep, you will dream the thing that gave the object its most terrible significance."
An important detail in this document is that on April 26, 1913, Leo M. Frank wore his wedding ring at the National Pencil Factory and during his dreadful voyage to sinking at Eichenhain, outside Marietta. . Mr. Keeler, who covered every session of the Atlanta Georgian man's trial, said several times during the trial and during Frank's nearly two years of service at the Fulton County Tower that the ring was on Frank's finger. I told you what I saw. Mr. Keeler told how the ring came to be obtained. He was in the vestibule of a small house at 303 Polk Street, Marietta, and had just begun a selection of Victorara, which his two very young members of the family passionately love. The band reached its climax when they heard footsteps and knocks on the porch in front of the open door.
He spoke clearly and clearly and handed me the envelope. He turned and went down the stairs and left in the darkness. Keeler opened an envelope containing a wedding ring and a typed note from his wife, Mrs. Leo M. Frank. The next day, Ms. Keeler gave her ring to Mrs. Frank in Atlanta. Mrs. Frank accused Keeler of being one of the group of men who had her husband hanged. Mr. Keeler received the trust with mixed feelings, but he knew how badly the in-state press was saying, and he had an idea of what the out-of-state press would say. When the rain came, a young woman from Kansas City, Missouri came north to read an article about the Frank case in the Kansas City newspaper. She made every effort to prove Frank's innocence. Her experience of getting her ring shortly after the tragedy of the previous day had a huge impact on her. She searched for an unbiased point of view and found an intellectual point of view. She read about the upcoming lynching against Frank on the train from Nashville and wondered what she was getting into. She arrived in this town exactly twelve hours after her execution, and she found it the quietest, most peaceful little place she had ever visited. She met more friendly and helpful people than at this afternoon's party. The most important detail in this document is that Keeler has lived in Marietta for her 25 years, and that she learned what happened to Leo M. Frank in that oak grove on the morning of August 17th. It means that He also knows what people in Marietta did for him and his family when he nearly died of pneumonia last spring.
Regarding this event, Mr. Keeler's son, George Keeler, told the speaker that his father, the late OB Keeler, was on the staff of the Atlanta Georgian in 1913, where he covered every session of the Frank trial. He said he was. George Keeler said he had no doubts about Frank's guilt.
An important detail in the audio recording is that the defense did everything it could to pin the blame on black janitor Jim Conley, and that Frank had the best attorney in the state. Two years later, this Georgian called his father that a group of men were heading to Mirageville State Penitentiary to arrest Frank, take him to Marietta, and hang him on Mary Phagan's grave. The following evening, a stranger showed up at the Keeler home in Polk Street, presenting his father with an envelope containing a typed note and a wedding ring. The father gave the ring to Mrs. Frank, and how it came to her and what she did with it was published on the front page of the Georgian newspaper, written in an article that day under the eight column headline.
The second week of the trial began on Monday, August 4, with the introduction of James Conley, a black factory cleaner and the only witness directly linking Frank to the crime. The public waited anxiously for the Negroes to take their stand, and when it was announced that the Negroes would be interrogated that day, a large, never-before-seen crowd surrounded the courtroom. From the bench, Judge L.S. Roan told all the women present to leave. Mr. James Conley took the stand and told glibly how the dead girl's body was taken to the cellar under the direction of Superintendent Frank. He once caught Frank exhibiting a compromising attitude toward women in his factory office, monitored him at the front door of the building on Saturday afternoons and early on a public holiday, and on the 2nd, confirmed that Frank was with a woman. made sensational claims that they were on secret dates.
Witnesses said Friday afternoon that Frank had instructed them to return to the factory on Saturday morning. The most important detail in this document is Conley's conversation with Mr. Frank on Saturday morning. Conley tells how he went to the dry cleaners in the capital and met Frank on Nelson and Forsyth streets. Back at the factory, Dorsey asked if he could turn the knob on the front door so no one could enter. Back at the factory, Dorsey asked if he could turn the knob on the front door so no one could enter.
Back at the factory, Dorsey asked if he could turn the knob on the front door so no one could enter. Back at the factory, he is asked by Dorsey if he can turn the knob on the front door so no one can enter. The most important detail in the document is that the young woman, Mr. Frank, and the witness were talking about a young woman who wanted to borrow money. The witness pointed to his right shoulder and said, 'Don't let Dolly see me answering the lawyer's question.'
The Negroes said they saw Leme Quinn, Mary Phagan, and Monteen Stover enter the building in order of their names. After going upstairs, witnesses heard footsteps heading towards the office, then towards the metal room. The next thing he heard was her screaming. The state attorney general argued, but the witness heard no more. Who was the next person the witness saw going up the stairs? Miss Monteen Stover was wearing tennis shoes and a red coat. She stayed up for a while, but she came down again. Then Tiptus came out of the metal department and Tiptus ran back. The narrator then heard Mr. Frank stamping on them. The narrator got up and locked the door, then sat back on the box for a while. Finally I heard Mr. Frank's whistle. Just minutes after the stamp, the narrator heard him whistle.
An important detail in the audio recording is that Mr. Frank was standing at the top of the stairs, shaking, rubbing his hands together, and acting strangely. He had a little cord in his hand and his eyes were wide open and wild. Conley testified that Frank had returned to the medal room and that Mary Phagan had resisted his advances. Frank said there was a fight and the girl fell and injured herself. Conley said that Frank was aware that he was different from other men and interfered with the young Superintendent having a strange relationship with another girl. Direct questioning of Conley lasted less than two hours, and his cross-examination was perhaps the most notable feature of the trial. Luther Z. Rosser bombarded Negroes with questions to bring them down, but Negroes never lost their minds. James Conley's trial was a test of physical endurance. Attorney Arnold appeared to testify, but Mr Dorsey objected and Judge Roan ordered Rosser to continue the inquiry. Conley's testimony was transcribed by four stenographers in a half hour shift, and defense attorneys received a copy of the official testimony two hours after it was entered into the minutes.
Attorney Rosser asked him about cases he had seen before, and although Black did not hesitate to answer, he frequently replied, "Oh, I remember." Asked him about the case, and although Black didn't hesitate to answer, he often replied, "Oh, I remember." Rosser asked him about a case he had seen before. , and Black did not hesitate to answer, although he frequently replied, "Oh, I remember." He didn't hesitate to say, "Oh, I remember." The most important detail in the document is the women's first visit to the factory, which happened about two weeks later on Saturday.
Witnesses were told that Frank had come early in the morning and said he wanted to preach in the afternoon. Frank returned to the office at about 9:00 p.m. that afternoon, and shortly afterwards Miss Daisy Hopkins walked in, followed her up the stairs, and saw her enter the office. Frank snapped his fingers and bowed his head, then went downstairs and looked at the front door. The next visit was before Thanksgiving, early in the winter, but Negro noticed the trap and skillfully avoided it. During questioning, the witness was instructed to describe what happened the next time the woman visited the factory.
The most important detail of the document is that the Negro used the same words every time he spoke on the subject, and that the woman had the same white hair as Mr. Hooper. She wore a green suit, black skirt and white shirt. Rosser then questioned Conley about her last Thanksgiving, when she was again Frank's lookout. Ms Conley was waiting by the door for her woman to come, she said she saw her in Mr Frank's office about three days ago. When I found the boxes in Mr. Frank's office about three days ago, he was stacking a few boxes on top and noticed they looked fine. This Thanksgiving morning, Mr. Conley closed the door behind him. A key detail in the document is that of Conley's affidavit to the police, which shows that he lied to investigators' questioning. The defense unexpectedly demanded that all of Conley's remarks about Frank's observations over the past few days and the remarks of a black person attacking his character be deleted from the record. It was the most scathing case of the entire case, in which the defense unexpectedly deleted from the record all of Conley's statements regarding Frank's observations over the past few days, as well as statements by a black man who attacked his character. moved to A key detail in the document is that of Conley's affidavit to the police, which shows that he lied to investigators' questioning. The defense unexpectedly demanded that all of Conley's remarks about Frank's observations over the past few days and the remarks of a black person attacking his character be deleted from the record. Attorney Arnold requested a jury and announced that he wanted the testimony removed from the record because it was irrelevant, immaterial, incompetent and unacceptable. He also demanded that all of Conley's testimony regarding the defendant's surveillance be removed from the record, as well as some black testimony that attacked Frank's character and was voiced through questioning by his lawyers. . . Judge Loon spoke up and said Mr. Arnold wanted to retract his testimony regarding the observation. Attorney Hooper said granting the motion would be a gimmick with the court. If her appeal had been filed at the time this testimony was made, the appeal was granted. The most important detail of this passage is that Frank bowed his head and his mother put her arms around his neck and tapped him on the shoulder, whispering in her ear. Attorney Dorsey addressed the court, arguing that this evidence was admissible. Mrs. Rosser interrupted him and asked him to leave it out as it was irrelevant. Lawyer Dorsey replied that it would not be right to allow this gentleman to give this witness two days of rigorous ordeal, cross-examine his testimony, and then come asking him to exclude certain parts of his testimony. That would make it impossible to corroborate this witness's testimony regarding Frank's actions.
Lawyers have announced that more witnesses are waiting to corroborate Jim Conley's testimony. Had the evidence been deleted from the record, he argued, the state's case would have been greatly damaged. He appealed to the court to warn his lawyers that the challenge must be timely because it deals with the operations of the National Pencil Factory and the disclosure of Conley's affairs with six different men. . He also asked the defense to present the judgments handed down over the past five years against this principle because of the slow progress in the courts. The most important detail of this passage is the meaning of Mr. M's testimony. Defendant's wife Frank during Frank's indictment by Attorney Dorsey.
Ms. Frank rose from her seat to the waiting room and returned to the courtroom with new tears in her eyes. Arnold described the evidence in question as "miserable and rotten" and said the defendant suffered a great deal from being involved in the case. Although he sympathized with the girl's parents more than anyone else, he said trying to convict the defendant by bringing up illegal and irrelevant evidence was tantamount to murder. The state wants to put this man on the witness stand and support his outrageous story, which contains many irrelevant facts. The murder is clearly labeled and the state doesn't even claim it was premeditated.
Arnold attacked the Supreme Court ruling cited by Dorsey, arguing that the ruling was written in a case involving the illegal sale of cocaine, not a murder case. He argued that if this evidence were admitted, the murder investigation would have to be stopped and investigations into the other two cases opened. Arnold also argued that it would be unfair to require the defendant to comment on such allegations without notice, requiring the defendant to call every employee at the factory and knowing how many other witnesses there were. Only he would know. If you can present such evidence, you can refute it. It was illegal testimony, and by sowing that suspicion on the jury, they have done us immeasurable damage.
Judge Roan interrupted Mr. Arnold's remarks that everything related to that day's observations on April 26 was related to this case. Judge Roan issued a ruling that this evidence was not admitted as an original proposal and that all but observation was prohibited for the day. Hooper petitioned the judge to stay the verdict until Wednesday, but the court refused. Judge Roan added that he was prepared to reverse the verdict if he was erroneously certified. The jury was then brought back to court, and Conley's cross-examination was resumed by attorney Rosser.
The most important detail in this text is the witness that corroborates Frank's alibi. Helen Curran, who lives at 160 Ashby Street, said she saw Frank outside a drug store on Whitehall and Alabama streets at 1:10 a.m. Mrs. M.G. Michael, from Athens, testified that she met the factory manager around 2:00 p.m. on the day of the murder. Mr. A.B Levy said he saw Mr. Frank get off the streetcar at 1:00 a.m. on Georgia Avenue, half a block from his home. At 1:20 p.m. Cohen Loeb testified that he and Frank had gone downtown in a Washington trolley car and found H. Robb. J. Hinchey testified that he saw him boarding a streetcar shortly after 2:00 p.m. Mrs. Rebecca Carson testified that around 2:20 p.m. she and her sister Frank were seen outside the M. Rich and Brothers store on Whitehall Street. Half an hour later on Whitehall and Alabama streets. Several former factory workers were subpoenaed and testified that they had never seen inappropriate behavior in the factory. The most important detail of this document is that Frank was a guest of his father and mother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Selig and he said he was reading a newspaper and drew his attention to a joke he found in the newspaper.
Attorney Dorothy, who cross-examined these witnesses, sought to establish that Frank had attempted to attract the attention of those present by appearing careless that night by laughing out loud. On the afternoon of Saturday, August 16, Mrs. Ray Frank took the witness stand and identified a letter addressed to her son's wealthy uncle, Mr. Frank, who was in New York en route to Europe. The letter was addressed to her wealthy uncle Mr. Frank, who was in New York at the time on his way to Europe. The letter was addressed to his wealthy uncle, Mr. Frank, who was in New York at the time on his way to Europe. The letter was addressed to his wealthy uncle, Mr. Frank, who was in New York at the time on his way to Europe. The letter was addressed to my wealthy uncle, Mr. Frank, who was in New York at the time on his way to Europe. An important detail of the document is that the defense called 100 other witnesses, most of whom were employed on the fourth floor of the pencil factory, to testify about Leo M. Frank's good character. were girls. E.H. Carson, one of the first witnesses called, testified that Frank was a good person and had never heard a word criticized about the factory. Other workers at the factory also testified that the manager's character was beyond doubt. Attorney Arnold asked witnesses if he ever met Leo M. Frank for immoral reasons, and the answer was a resounding no. Miss Eileen Jackson was subpoenaed as a witness by the defense, but the prosecution relied on her astonishing testimony.
She explained that Frank had come to the door of the women's locker room on the second floor of the factory to see the room's inhabitants. Weeks after the killing, Atlanta Journal reporter Harley Branch said Conley denied seeing Lemmie Quinn enter the factory on Saturday, April 26. When James Conley pretended to hide the body on the day of the crime, his aim was to obtain the doctor's testimony. Rebut William Owens. Nearly everyone at the factory said Conley had a bad temper and wouldn't believe him if he swore. Some of the girls reported that they lent him money that he did not return.
Frank took the stand Monday afternoon and gave the most remarkable testimony ever given in a Georgia criminal court. He spoke for three short pauses, interrupted twice by Lawyer Dorsey, and once for a sip of water. When he finished speaking, his voice was so clear that the audience gasped. After Frank's argument, the courtroom fell into complete silence for ten seconds, then almost simultaneously broken by Leo Frank's sobbing and Arnold's terse dismissal order. Defendant left the stand with the same restraint and brisk pace that he had entered the stand four hours earlier.
He returned to his position again between his wife and mother, her mother cradling her arms and sobbing on his shoulder. He tried to comfort her with her tender affection, and her mother held her son's head in her hands and she kissed him passionately. When Frank was taken away by the sheriff, he was still convulsing. Leo Frank has been cool since he was born in Paris, Texas, and he's mastered that skill. He solved complex mathematical problems in his head. He briefly recounted his life, recounting how he attended school in Brooklyn, attended college, founded the National Pencil Company, and traveled to Europe to learn how to make pencils.
He recounted his actions on the day of his alleged murder of Mary Phagan, contradicting the testimony of the black Jim Conley, whose testimony brought him closer to the gallows. He also refuted CB Dalton's affidavit stating that two women had come to his office for immoral reasons. Frank told his story as he left the booth and explained the work involved in preparing the factory's weekly financial report. This was part of a circumstantial alibi. He argued about numbers and calculated intelligently as if he were not carrying the burden of life.
On Saturday, April 26, the narrator woke up between 7:00 and 7:30 am and arrived at the Forsyth Street factory around 8:30 am. In the front office they found Mr. Holloway, the day shift, and Alonzo Mann, a clerk. Maddy Smith asked the narrator for salary envelopes for himself and her sister-in-law, who went to her safe, unlocked her and gave her the two envelopes she needed. Mr. Darley leaves the factory with the narrator at 9:35 or 9:40 on Mondays and stops at the corner of Hunter and Forsyth streets for a drink at Cruickshank and the Soda Water Found, followed by the narrator. bought a pack of his favorite cigarettes there. After drinking, they chat for a while, and the narrator lights a cigarette as he walks in one direction and bids farewell.
The narrator addresses Mr. Sig Montague, the manager of the company, and Miss Hattie Hall, a pencil company stenographer who lives with the Montague brothers. Arriving at Forsyth Street, the narrator sees Mr. Holloway and Mrs. Arthur White, the two girls who worked upstairs, and two gentlemen, one Mr. Graham and the other a boy named Earl. meet my father Mr. Burdette, who was involved in trouble during lunchtime the day before, was taken to the police headquarters. The narrator gives his two fathers the required wage envelopes and talks about the difficulties the sons encountered the day before. The narrator then calls Miss Hattie Hall, dictates what mail to give her, and she finishes her work and leaves at the 12:00 whistle.
The most important detail of this text is what happened after Miss Hall left the office. A little girl named Mary Phagan came into the office and asked for her pay envelope. She came in with Leme Quinn, the factory manager, and told her foreman that she could not be kept out of the factory even if it was a holiday. The foreman asked if Mr. Schiff had come down, but he replied that the foreman had not. The foreman then asked if Mr. Schiff had come down, to which he replied that the foreman had not. Afterwards, the foreman asked if Mr. Schiff had come down, but the foreman replied that he had not. The narrator called her home and asked when her wife and her mother-in-law were going to the matinee. Minola answered the phone and said she would have lunch soon.
The narrator then gathered the papers and went upstairs to meet the boys on the top floor. When they arrived there were Mr. Arthur White, Mr. Harry Denham, and Mr. White's wife. The narrator asked them if they were ready to leave, saying they were preparing some work. The narrator asked her if she was going to lock down the factory, or if she was going to stay there. The narrator went downstairs, collected the papers, locked the desk, washed his hands, put on his hat and coat, and locked the inner office door and the door to the street.
From the moment the first whistle blew at 12:00 p.m., the narrator did not leave the company office until 12:45. Perhaps the narrator went to the bathroom to answer nature's call. Because when the vault door was open, like on that morning, it was impossible to see inside the vestibule.
As Frank was walking home from work, he heard a clock chime outside. He went to his office, opened the safe and desk, and began working on his financial reports. When he returned to his office, he noticed security guard Newt Lee coming down the stairs. He offered bananas in a yellow bag, but Frank declined. He said he could go for an hour and a half if it was convenient for him, but he would be back at 06:30 pm.
He went down the stairs leading outside and Frank went back to his office. The most important detail in this text is the details of Frank's duties at the factory. He had to search the entire building every half hour and stamp his time card. He was also responsible for guarding and locking the back door, as well as powering the electricity during fires. He was also responsible for removing the watch strip from the watch and replacing it with a blue ink watch with a rubber date stamp of April 28 on the underside opposite the word "Date".
While doing laundry, he heard Newt Lee ring the clock, recorded the first blow of the night, and went downstairs to the porch to await his departure. The narrator went down the stairs, put on his hat and coat, and walked down the stairs to the front door. When they opened the door, they saw Newt Lee conversing with J.M. Gantt, who had been fired from the company two weeks earlier. When the narrator asks Gantt what he wants, Gantt replies that he has shoes in the mailroom. The narrator tells Newt that it's okay to let Gantt inside, and Gantt walks in while Newt Lee closes and locks the door behind him.
The narrator then walks down Forsyth Street to Alabama, down Alabama to Broad Street, where she posts two letters, goes to Jacob's Store, Whitehall Store, Alabama Street Store, and soda. I drank drinks from the machine and bought my wife a box of candy. The narrator was awakened by the ringing of the phone before 7:00 am. Sunday, April 27th at 12:00 am. Town detective Stearns identified him as Mr. Frank, president of the National Pencil Company, and asked him to come to the factory at once. The narrator was getting dressed for the people who were picking them up in the car. When the car arrived, the narrator's wife went down the stairs to open the door. She wore a nightgown and a robe over it.
As Ankh was walking home from work, he heard a clock chime outside. He went to his office, opened the safe and desk, and began working on his financial reports. When he returned to his office, he noticed security guard Newt Lee coming down the stairs. He offered bananas in a yellow bag, but Frank declined. He said he could go for an hour and a half if it was convenient for him, but he would be back at 06:30 pm.

While doing laundry, he heard Newt Lee ring the clock, recorded the first blow of the night, and went downstairs to the porch to await his departure. The narrator went down the stairs, put on his hat and coat, and walked down the stairs to the front door. When they opened the door, they saw Newt Lee conversing with J.M. Gantt, who had been fired from the company two weeks earlier. When the narrator asks Gantt what he wants, Gantt replies that he has shoes in the mailroom. The narrator tells Newt that it's okay to let Gantt inside, and Gantt walks in while Newt Lee closes and locks the door behind him.
The narrator then walks down Forsyth Street to Alabama, down Alabama to Broad Street, where she posts two letters, goes to Jacob's Store, Whitehall Store, Alabama Street Store, and soda. The narrator drank drinks from the machine and bought my wife a box of candy. The narrator was awakened by the ringing of the phone before 7:00 am.
On Sunday, April 27th at 7:00 am., town detective Stearns identified him as Mr. Frank, president of the National Pencil Company, and asked him to come to the factory at once. The narrator was getting dressed for the people who were picking them up in the car. When the car arrived, the narrator's wife went down the stairs to open the door. She wore a nightgown and a robe over it.
The narrator follows his wife downstairs and asks what's wrong. Two witnesses, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Black, disagree with the narrator as to where the conversation took place. They ask the narrator if he knows Mary Phagan, a girl who works at the dump, and want the narrator to come with them to the factory. The narrator finishes dressing her, accompanies her to her car, and hurries to her funeral home. They then take the narrator to the funeral home, where one of the two asks the guard to show him the way inside the corpse. An important detail in this document is that the Director walked with Mr. Rogers and Mr. Black through a long, dark corridor before arriving in a small room containing the body of a little girl. When the guards pulled out the cloth, they found a deep scar on his forehead above his left eye, a string around his neck, and a piece of white cloth. After examining her body, the director confirmed that the girl was the one who woke up the previous afternoon to receive the money. They then left the premises and drove to the pencil factory, where Frank talked through the factory about the chip. This passage tells the story of Frank going to the police station and then returning home. After dinner, he took a 10-minute drive downtown on Georgia Avenue, entered Undertaker Bloomfield, and saw a large crowd near outside. Once he was inside, he found quite a few people working in the pencil factory, including Mr. Herbert Schiff, Nevada. Darley, Wade Campbell, Alonzo Mann, Mr. Spielter, Mr. Vijinci. He talked to them for a few minutes and noticed that people were lining up to see the bodies, and some were coming in from the factory. He queued back to his room and remained in the morgue for several minutes. There the girl was swept clean, her hair perfectly tidy and straightened, and the rest of her body covered with a clean white sheet. He returned to the front of the company and chatted with Herbert Schiff and Mr. Vijinci. Mr. Darley, Mr. Schiff and Mr. Frank visited police headquarters and Chief Rumford's office to speak with Newt Lee. Investigators showed them two notes, an unused scrap of paper, and a pencil they said they found in the basement near the body. Citing attempts to decipher the notes, Frank said he went to the police station on Monday, where he questioned investigators. He also said he was taken to a pencil factory and found blood on the floor of the metal room. Frank also said he kept Harry Scott with him.
The narrator recounted his actions on Tuesday when he was arrested at a pencil factory and taken to the police station. Detective John M. Stearns obtained a sample of his handwriting by dictating to the narrator using the original notes found near the body. At midnight, Detectives Scott and Black walked in and asked the narrator to speak. They raised the possibility that the couple were ushered into the factory at night by the night watchman Newt Lee. The narrator said he had never spoken alone with Mute Lee, and if he had, he would have ended the story long ago.
Black then told the narrator that he could tell him everything he knew about the events at the Pencil Factory that Saturday night, or they would both go to hell. The most important details of this text are the allegations and allegations made against the defendant during the trial. These included the fact that the defendant did not want to speak to investigators; including the fact that they were taken to The defendant always answered the investigator openly and frankly, and generally discussed the matter with the investigator on the basis of his knowledge. Further, on Monday morning, without anyone picking up the defendant, he was taken to the office building, factory, and headquarters to answer all questions and discuss the matter generally.
On Monday and Tuesday, the narrator answered questions from police officers and made statements. At midnight, they decided to talk to the narrator, who was still going to help them. On May 3, Detectives Black and Scott came to the narrator's cell, wanting to speak to him alone with no friends around. The narrator decided to stay away from them and didn't want to have anything to do with them. On May 4, Detectives Black and Scott came to the narrator's cell, wanting to speak to him alone with no friends around. An important detail in the document is that Mr. Frank is an honorable soul and is suspicious of Mr. Darley, who could not have committed such a crime. Mr. Black tweeted and said nothing was done. This shows how much a person can trust either the town detective or the Pinkerton detective. Frank denied suggestions that he knew Conley could write and he had not told authorities. This shows how much a person can trust either the town detective or the Pinkerton detective.
A jury was sent, and attorney Rosser argued that states should show only general character. Attorney Dorsey replied that while the state cannot bring a specific lawsuit, the defendant's statement that he never had a woman in his office cast doubt on that stage of his character. Attorney Rosser disagreed, arguing that witness testimony was submitted to the defense and that James Conley's testimony was refuted. Judge Roan ruled that testimony was admissible if it contradicted the testimony of one of the defense witnesses. Attorney Rosser responded to the ruling by requiring the defense witness to be brought back to the table for cross-examination before the lawyer can testify inconsistently with the defense witness. The jury returned to court and Miss Griffin remained on the witness stand. The most important detail in this document is the three witnesses who testified against Leo M. Frank. When the first witness, Miss Myrtice Cato, was asked if she knew Frank's general character about women, she said "no." second witness, Mrs. Asked if he knew Frank's general personality when it comes to relationships, C.D. Donegan said, "No." Third witness, Mrs. H.J. Johnson was asked if she was aware of Frank's general reputation for women, but she didn't say much.
The defense was unable to cross-examine all but addresses. Dorsey said one of the women was willing to testify that Frank made a lewd proposal to her in her private room and used a wrench before fleeing her room. Dewey Hewell, who was brought to Atlanta from the Good Shepherd's home in Cincinnati, said Frank knew Mary Phagan and saw him conversing with her. Witnesses were asked how often they spoke with Mary Phagan and how often they put their hand on her shoulder. He called her Maria, and stood near her when she spoke.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, August 20, both sides were taking a break, and it took less than an hour to submit the rebuttal. Witnesses and doctors' testimony contradicted Dr. Harris and pawnbroker Nathan Sinkowitz vowed that M.E. McCoy pawned his watch in January and that it would remain his property until August. Some disputed the tram driver's statement that little George Epps was not with him when he came into town on the day Mary died.
The Frank Case is the story of Georgia's greatest crime thriller, the story of how young Mary Phagan was murdered while collecting paychecks at the National Pencil Factory. Leo M. Frank, the manager of a large factory where a humble little employee died, was arrested and became the Frank case. The story of the case, the major developments over the next four months, and the grand trial in which two of the South's top criminal defense attorneys battled the insight of the Atlanta Attorney General to save Frank were covered in the press. Frank's sentencing in Fulton High Court will finish the job, but new trial motions have been filed and the death penalty, if any, would be months away. The most important details in this document are the events leading up to the trial of Leo M. Frank.
At 3 a.m. on April 27, the body of Mary Phagan is found in the basement of the National Pencil Factory. At 12:00 a.m., the night watchman Newt Lee Negro arrives. Arthur Mullinax is arrested and blood is found in a metal room on the second floor. Coroner Donahue appoints a jury and suspends the investigation. J.M. Gantt is arrested and Pinkerton is ordered to find the hunter. Frank and Lee are taken to the county jail and held there pending the coroner's findings. Attorney General Dorsey joins the case, and Frank recounts his actions on the day of the crime. Paul Bowen is arrested and released after establishing an alibi. Frank and Lee are detained by the grand jury's coroner's board.
Mrs. Frank visits her husband for the first time since her imprisonment. Colonel Thomas B. Felder announces that Detective Burns is working to solve the mystery. May 21 - New York fingerprint expert PA Flack says the results of the investigation are unclear. May 24 - Conley makes a startling confession that Frank had tricked him into writing a note near the body. 5/26 - Burns authorities announced that the investigation was closed.
May 27 - Conley also released a sensational affidavit, stating that he helped Frank move the body of Mary Phagan to the basement. June 3 - Minola McKnight has prepared a sensational affidavit of hearing Frank speak of his strange behavior on the night of the murder. 7 June - Mrs. Frank rebukes Lawyer Dorsey, explaining that the room in which Minola McKnight filed her affidavit was a torture chamber. June 8 - Attorney Rosser accuses Chief Ranford of misconduct in the murder hunt. June 23 - Attorney Dorsey determines that night watchman Newt Lee was awakened by the clock on the second floor of the National Pencil Factory.
A shadow in the corner dances toward him as he holds his hand to warm the glass of the lantern. The light of the lanterns reflected the dial of a large clock that chimed every half hour. Soon Newt will be able to patrol abandoned factory buildings, strike clocks, and sit down to rest. He was so tired that he thought he needed a rest.
Newt has been a night watchman at the factory for months. He is tired, but his caretaker, Mr. Frank, has given him rest for most of the afternoon. As he approaches the bottom of the stairs, he mutters to himself as he throws the light of his lantern back and forth across the empty first floor. Haya comes down at 03:00. At 6:00, Mr. Frank told him to slow down and not come back until 6:00. Newt calmly looks around his ground floor, as usual. There were no busy workers, no men eager to pack pencils, no dozens of little factory girls crouching at the machines. He likes machines because for a night watchman, silence in everyday life means safety. Going to another floor, he will fill the basement, the darkest darkness. Newt Lee raised the trapdoor over the water, and a faint glimmer of light shone through. His lantern flickers with light, faintly illuminating the dim light of the basement. Each time he circles, he raises his leg carefully, while his lantern moves the light back and forth, faintly illuminating the dim light of the basement. His feet were planted on the ground, and as he stood on the subterranean floor, the lantern emitted a yellow light. He takes three steps and stops. Lights came on, illuminating stacks of clothing and things Newt had never seen before. His heart raced and he tried to laugh, but his voice was hard and raspy in the silence. Taking another step forward, Newt Lee staggered back as the lantern flashed again. He saw something as blood-stopping as a dam of ice and climbed the ladder, jumping and sobbing. The same clock chimed as Newt patrolled the factory buildings. Welcome hour meant that the office's big press would print out pages and pages for the townsfolk to pass the Sunday hours between breakfast and church. They arrived on a foggy, misty Decatur Street, freed from the throngs of happy, laughing blacks that had packed in a few hours earlier. Britt was in Boots Rogers' car, and the third reporter remained in the car. In the station building, staff members sat on chairs and spent the rest of the day until dawn. A thin speck of light appeared on the eastern smoke-shrouded horizon, and the hands of the station's clock were pointing to 45 minutes. Police officers charged with disorderly conduct heard a black man sob in a cell behind the station early in the evening. The sergeant yelled at the burly man near the door, whose chevron crest proclaimed him in front of the detachment. When the phone rang, Mr. Boots' deputy, Mr. Rogers, opened his mouth and began an impassioned account of the Grace case. Officer W. T. Anderson got up tired and went to the phone booth door and opened it.
His officer brethren looked up in a moment of interest, but then returned to their seats. Then he got a message from a black man many blocks away. The Negro was speaking in a trembling voice about the dead girl found in the basement of the National Pencil Factory on Forsyth Street. When Officer Anderson burst out of the phone box with a message, the sleeping officers jumped and woke up. They jumped in the car, woke the sleeping reporters, and drove to the corner of Prior and Decatur Streets. Two men, police officers Dobbs and Brown, stood at the corner. The car slowed down and the four men got out. Officer Anderson was banging on the door with his fist clenched, Newt Lee's frightened face staring at them. They fired at him and entered the dimly lit gates of the factory. Lee was in front, Anderson right behind him, clutching his revolver. Newt Lee led them down a ladder into the darkness, pointing anxiously at something in the corner. Officers crouched to see the frightened, mutilated corpse of a girl with her head forward and her legs angled into the right rear corner. Her face had bruises and she was black with dirt. When the men bent down to investigate further, the most important detail in the document was the discovery of two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scribbled vulgar writing. Officers read a note written by Lee, a tall black man, and his mother as they pushed him into the pit. Anderson suddenly turned to the security guard, tapped him on the shoulder with a rude hand, and accused Nigger of doing this. Officers then contacted Ms. Brown, who had thoroughly searched the basement, and found the girl's other pair of slippers. Officers later found two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scribbled rude letters. Anderson suddenly turned to the security guard, tapped him on the shoulder with a rude hand, and accused Nigger of doing this. Newt Lee was arrested on suspicion of murder on Sabbath morning and taken to a police building to identify the dead child. Grace Hicks, who lived at 100 McDonough Road, traveled with Rogers to the P.J. Bloomfield morgue to see Mary Phagan's dismembered body. Detective Stearns calls the property manager, Frank, and tells him that something happened at the factory and that he's going to pick him up. With the police and CID busy at the scene, Detective Stearns called his home supervisor Frank to tell him that something had happened at the factory and that he would come pick him up. Rogers and Detective John Black drive to Frank's house to ask if anything happened at the pencil factory.
Frank was dressed up except for his collar and tie and seemed extremely nervous. On the way, Black asks Frank if he knows a girl named Mary Phagan, and the factory manager tells him to check the factory payslip. On their way to the factory, the three stop at a funeral home to see the body of Mary Phagan. By sunrise word of the murder had spread through town and a few men, including N.V Darley the plant manager, were standing outside the factory gates.
Frank greeted the foreman and officers and went to Frank's office. When the superintendent opened the safe, he found a blank book bearing the name of Mary Phagan. Frank then asked if there was any evidence of wage rotation in the factory. The next request was to see where the girl's body was found. Frank went to the control box next to the elevator, unlocked it, and switched on the machine. Back on the first floor, someone suggested that we all go to the station building, where Frank took the key out of his pocket and suggested that we open the locked door on the right. Boots Rogers later testified that Frank took the key out of his pocket, unlocked the right side, and took out the Timeslip. An important detail in this document is that Frank found a pencil in one of the potholes and asked Lee why he was there. Frank then unlocks his watch and writes April 26, 1913 on the margin of the slip, while at the police station Frank sits on Darley's lap, shaking violently. At the police station, Frank spoke of a visit to the factory by a young man named J.M. Gantt on Saturday morning. Gantt was a young man who had just been laid off from the factory and returned in the afternoon to pick up the shoes he had left behind. . Based on this statement, the Criminal Investigative Division launched a search for Gantt. Newt Lee was in custody at Frank's home while detectives were looking for multiple suspects. Mary Phagan was a factory girl who worked hard from morning till night. On Memorial Day, she drove into town to see the Confederate Veterans Parade on Peachtree Street.
She took the tram into town and met George Epps, a newspaperman who had always liked her. She promised to meet him at 1:00 p.m. and saw boys in gray march down Marietta and Forsyth streets. Later that night, George Epps ran to the Phagans to find out why Mary had not met her as promised. Mary's stepfather, J.W. Coleman, went into town to see if she could find Mary where she may have been to the Beauty Theater with a few friends.
The audio file's most important detail is the events leading up to Mary Coleman's death. Mr. Coleman went to Bijou and watched her face stream past, but he never saw the face of the little girl he was looking for. He returned to her home at 146 Lindsay Street and comforted her mother, who was grieving at the thought that Mary had gone to Marietta to visit her grandmother. In the early hours of Sunday, April 27th, there was a knock on the door of the Phagan family, and her mother's heart told her it was a message from Mary. Her neighbor, Miss Helen Ferguson, was standing at the door, her eyes filled with sorrow, her lips barely able to utter the terrible words she wanted to say. The news reached the Phagan family, and Mr. Coleman rushed into town to see the body of the girl who had become more than just a daughter to him. At Bloomfields, undertaker Will Giessling showed her body, which the old man positively identified. This scene later saw hundreds of people staring at the empty walls of the pencil factory. Mary Phagan was murdered in the basement of the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 29. Her remains were buried in an old family cemetery in Marietta, Georgia, 32 miles from Atlanta. On May 7, the body was exhumed by order of the public prosecutor and a thorough examination of the stomach and other vital organs was carried out by doctors. H.F. Harris was implemented by the State Board of Health. The mystery surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan and her brutal crimes caused a sensation and remained a mystery for months, not just the required nine days. Mary Phagan's name was on everyone's lips, and more and more newspapers were published on Monday morning, the day after the murder. Atlanta police were inundated with rumors leading to the discovery of the killer. The first wave of public opinion unanimously blamed Newt Lee, but reports of other suspects led to the arrest of Arthur Mullinax, a former tram conductor and alleged friend of the dead girls. Mullinax was arrested based on the testimony of C.J. Camper Food Company employee E.L. Sentell. Sentell said he had known Mary Phagan for years and was convinced that the girl he had seen on her street was her. Mullinax was briefly arrested by police and taken to the police station late Sunday evening. A key detail in this document is the arrest of two suspects, J.M. Gant, Lee, and Mullinax. It was known that Mr. Gant knew Mary Phagan and had been at the factory on Saturday afternoons. He had worked at the factory before and was familiar with the building. Gant's sister, Mrs. F.C. Terrell was found at his home at 284 East Linden Street by police officers who gave conflicting accounts of his actions. The officers decided they were on the right track and arrested Mr. Gant on a warrant for the murder of Mary Phagan. Gant was taken to Atlanta and joined Lee and Mullinax at the station building.
The two police officers emerge on Decatur Street, freed from the crowd of happy, laughing blacks that had swarmed them hours earlier. They found Britt in Boots Rogers' car, while a third reporter remained in the car. In the station building, staff sit on chairs and doze off, spending the rest of the day until dawn. A thin smudge of light appears on the eastern smoke-shrouded horizon, the hands of the station clock pointing to his 45 minutes. Officer Anderson receives a message from a Negro who tells him about the dead girl found in the basement of the National Pencil Factory on Forsyth Street, blocks away. Anderson rushed out of the phone booth with the news, waking the sleeping cops to their feet. In case of emergency he machine will arrive in less than a minute. Police Dobbs and Brown were seen standing at the corner of Prior and Decatur Streets as the National Pencil Company car approached. As the four got out of the car, Officer Anderson clenched his fists and banged on the door. Newt Lee led them down a ladder into the darkness, pointing anxiously at a dead body in the corner. The police found her hair ragged, a bloody black hair from a severe blow to the back of her head, an unmistakably Caucasian hair, the blue ribbon she tied was faded and stained, and blood on her lavender silk dress. I saw it covered in A small white slipper was still attached to her right foot. The most important detail of this document is the discovery of two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scribbled jumbled letters. These letters were written by tall black blacks, hired by tall black blacks. Officers then read the note aloud, revealing that the man who wrote it had committed this hellish act. Officers later found the girl's other pair of slippers, a small thin hat, and two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scribbled rude letters. Newt Lee was arrested and taken to a police building where the deceased child was identified. The sentence concludes by stating that an investigation into the killing of a small factory worker has been launched.
The two policemen emerge on Decatur Street, freed from the crowd of happy-laughing blacks that had swarmed them hours earlier. They found Britt in Boots Rogers' car, while a third reporter remained in the car. In the station building, staff members are dozing off in chairs for the rest of the time until dawn. A thin smudge of light appears on the eastern smoky horizon, the hands of the station clock pointing to his 45 minutes. Officer W. T. Anderson receives a message from a black man that a young girl has been found dead in the basement of the National Pencil Factory on Forsyth Street several blocks away.
The sleepy officers jumped and woke up when Officer Anderson burst out of the phone box with a message. In case of emergency he machine will arrive in less than a minute. Officers Dobbs and Brown were seen standing at the corner of Prior and Decatur streets as the National Pencil Company car approached. As the four got out of the car, Officer Anderson clenched his fists and banged on the door. Newt Lee led them down a ladder into the darkness, pointing anxiously at a dead body in the corner.
The officers saw her hair ragged, blood-blackened by a severe blow to the back of her head, an unmistakably Caucasian hair, the blue ribbon that tied it faded and stained, and a lavender-colored silk dress. was covered in blood. A small white slipper was still attached to her right foot. The most important detail of this document is the discovery of two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scribbled jumbled letters. These notes were written by tall black blacks hired by tall black blacks. When a police officer read the note, it turned out that the man who wrote it had committed this hellish act. Officers later found the girl's other pair of slippers, a small thin hat, and two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scribbled rude letters. Shortly after Newt Lee's arrest, Newt Lee was taken to a police building to identify the dead child.
Deputy Rogers told officers that he knew a girl who worked in a pencil factory and could probably look at the murdered child and guess who it was. Grace Hicks, who lived at 100 McDonough Road, accompanied him to P.J. Bloomfield's mortuary where his body was laid. Detective Stearns called the caretaker, Frank, and asked him to bring his coat and come with him. On the way, Black asked Frank if he knew a girl named Mary Phagan, and the factory manager said he would check the factory payslips.
On their way to the factory, the three stop at a funeral home to see the body of Mary Phagan. Frank was asked if he knew her girlfriend, and he replied that she could always be found by going to the factory. As the sun rises, the three approach the factory, where news of the murder spreads throughout the city. Among them is N.V. Darley, the factory manager who asked Frank to inform his wife before leaving home. Frank greeted the foreman and entered Frank's office with the supervisor and officers. When the superintendent opened the safe, he found a blank book bearing the name of Mary Phagan. Frank then asked if there was any evidence of wage rotation in the factory. The inspector's next request was to investigate the place where the girl's body was found. Frank went to the control box next to the elevator to unlock it, turned on the machine and the elevator began to descend. After touring the basement where the body was found, the group returned to the second floor. Frank is said to have known Darley for a long time and said that if he could get anything out of him, it would be Darley. When we returned to the first floor, someone asked us to get off at the station building. Frank turned to Darley and asked him to put a new note on his watch. Boots Rogers testified that Frank said little about the murder and watched the scene where Mary Phagan was found dead. The foreman agreed when I told Darley about the new error in the watch. Then Frank took the key out of his pocket, opened the locked door on the right, and took out the Timeslip. He examined the notes, found a pencil in one of the holes, and asked Lee why it was there. The Negro, he said, put a pencil there so he wouldn't make a mistake by drilling the correct hole. Frank unlocked his watch and penciled in "26." April 1913" is written at the end of the note. Frank and the cops board Roger's plane to the police station, where Frank sits on Darley's lap. At the police station, Frank nervously jumps out of the car and speaks quickly and softly. Frank talked about how J.M. Gant, a young man who had just been laid off from the factory, visited the factory on Saturday morning and returned in the afternoon to pick up the shoes he had left behind. Based on this statement, the Criminal Investigative Division launched a search for Gant. Newt Lee was in custody at Frank's home while detectives were looking for multiple suspects.
Mary Phagan was a factory girl who worked hard from morning till night. On her Memorial Day, she drove into town and at the factory she received a wage of $1.20. She took the tram into town and met George Epps, a newspaperman who had always liked her. They were in the car together and Mary promised to meet him at 1:00 a.m. At 12 o'clock that night, George Epps ran to the Phagan household to find out why Mary had not met as she had promised. J.W. Mary's stepfather, Coleman, went into town to see if he could find Mary where she may have been to the Beauty Theater with a few friends. Mrs. Coleman's husband, Mr. Coleman, went to Bijou and watched the people pass by, but never saw the face of the girl he was looking for. He returned to her home at 146 Lindsay Street and comforted her mother, who was grieving at the thought that Mary had gone to Marietta to visit her grandmother. In the early hours of Sunday, April 27, there was a knock at Phagan's door, and her mother's heart flew to her threshold, telling her it was a message from Mary. Neighbor Helen Ferguson stood in the doorway. Her eyes were filled with sorrow, and her mother was heartbroken. The news reached the Phagan family, and Mr. Coleman rushed into town to see the body of the girl who had become more than just a daughter to him. At Bloomfields, undertaker Will Geesling showed her body, which the old man positively identified. This scene later saw hundreds of people staring at the empty walls of the pencil factory. The document's most important detail is the events surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan, a girl who was murdered in the basement of the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta, Georgia. On April 29, the girl's body was buried in an old family cemetery in Marietta, Georgia, 32 miles from Atlanta. On May 7, her body was exhumed by order of the public prosecutor, and doctors performed a thorough examination of her stomach and other vital organs. H.F. Harris was implemented by the State Board of Health. The results of the investigation were known only to him and his lawyer until he testified on the witness stand almost three months later. This crime has shocked the city of Atlanta like never before. The Grace case was a sensation that lasted for months instead of nine days. The mystery surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan and her brutal crimes caused a sensation and remained a mystery for months, not just the required nine days. Newspapers continued to circulate on Monday morning, the day after the murder, and Atlanta police were bombarded with rumors, most of which they claimed had led to the discovery of the culprit. The first wave of public opinion unanimously blamed Newt Lee, but reports from other suspects led to another man being arrested before the end of the first Sunday.
Mullinax was briefly arrested by the police and placed in a separate cell. Another suspect, J.M. Gantt, was arrested in Marietta on Monday. It was known that he knew Mary Phagan and had been at the factory on Saturday afternoons. Ms. Gant's sister, Mrs. F.C. Terrell, was found by police at her mansion at 284 East Linden Street and gave conflicting accounts of Ms. Gant's movements. Officials then decided they were on the right track.
On Monday morning, Gant was arrested with a warrant for the murder of Mary Phagan. He was taken to Atlanta and joined Lee and Mullinax at the station building. Gant spoke candidly, admitting he was fired from the factory a few weeks ago and returned to Marietta to buy shoes. The morning after his imprisonment, Gant attempted to get out of prison by filing a habeas corpus, but he and Mullinax were released before it could take effect. Both gave clear alibi, according to testimony at a May 1 forensic examination.
Police and investigators were outraged by rumors that the girl had been kidnapped and drugged. Former Atlanta boy Paul Bowen, who knew Mary Phagan, was arrested in Houston, Texas and provided an alibi on May 7, the day after his arrest. Police reportedly received help Monday after the murder, when it emerged that pencil factory officials had asked local Pinkerton detectives to help investigate the murder. On Monday, April 28, the coroner's jury met with coroner Paul Donoghue in a metal-armored pencil factory room. Because of the interesting discovery of blood stains on the floor of a metal room, investigators suspected that Phagan's girl had been murdered there, rather than in the basement where she was first suspected. On Tuesday, April 29, the head of the National Pencil Factory, Leo M. Frank, was taken to a police station and taken into custody on charges related to the murder of Mary Phagan.
Since that day, he has never regained his freedom. The key information in this text is that defendant was born in Paris, Texas in 1884 and moved to Atlanta when he was three months old. He attended public schools in Brooklyn and attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. He graduated from Cornell University in 1902 with a degree in mechanical engineering. After that, he got a job with his B.F. as a draftsman.
A solid company in High Park, Massachusetts. Six months later, he returned to his hometown of Brooklyn and took a job as a test-his engineer and draftsman at the National Meter Company in Brooklyn, New York. He remained in that post until about mid-October 1907, when he came south to consult with some Atlanta citizens about the establishment and operation of a pencil factory in Atlanta. At 11:45 a.m. Newt Lee testified that he had arrived at the factory at 4:00 p.m., he left as Frank told him to. Detectives and police say it was face down, but he testified that he found it face up. J.G. Spear of Cartersville said he saw a girl and a man outside a pencil factory Saturday afternoon. George Epps testified that Mary told her Mr. Frank winked at her and said he was suspicious.
E.L. Sentell testified that he saw Mullinax late Saturday night with a girl believed to be Mary Phagan. R. P. Barrett testified that he found bloodstains near Mary's machine on the second floor, suggesting that she may have started the fight for her life there rather than in the dark basement. Gant and Mullinax were released from custody on Thursday afternoon, and an autopsy hearing was temporarily postponed.
Investigators concluded that little Mary Phagan only made a brief visit to the factory on Saturday afternoon to pick up her paycheck and that she never left the factory, prompting investigators to set her sights on solving the mystery of the girl's death. took a step forward. E.L Sentell admitted that she saw Pearl Robinson, not Mary Phagan with Mullinax. Other witnesses who are said to have seen the girl on Saturday afternoon also came forward and said they may have been wrong. This undergrowth was removed, leading authorities to reasonably assume that Mary Phagan had not left the pencil factory alive.
Newt Lee and Leo Frank were transferred to Fulton County Tower pending an investigation at Police Headquarters. Two suspects, Leo M. Frank and Newt Lee, were taken to the Atlanta Tower because of questions about the legality of their detention under a city warrant. The court rulings that brought the two to the Tower were identical except for the names. Franks read to a Fulton County, Georgia jailer that he was obliged to take Leo M. Frank, a suspect in the murder of Mary Phagan, into custody and hold him in custody pending further investigation. Mary Phagan announced her death. After the release of the two men in the tower and two other former suspects, there seemed little doubt that investigators held the key to solving the mystery. There was, however, another man covered by this law, whose arrest was not well publicized at the time, and the newspapers only wrote one paragraph about it. The man would later shock the world with his most sensational testimony ever before the trial began. James “Jim” Conley, a black cleaner employed at the National Pencil Factory, was arrested at 2:00 am.
At 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, he was detained at the Police Headquarters factory along with elevator boy Snowball on suspicion. The sixth arrest in the Phagan murders was made by investigators at 1:00 am. At midnight Thursday, Conley was seen washing his shirt at the faucet behind the building. He claimed that the stains on his shirt were rust stains and that he had washed it to appear before the coroner's inquest when he was summoned. Deductions and clues flooded the detective agency, and many of Frank's friends personally worked on the case to clear the cloud of suspicion hanging over the famous young detective.
He was a prominent figure within the community and popular among a wide range of friends. He was president of a local Hebrew organization, a church and social work leader, and a college graduate. His friends warmly supported him when he was accused of the death of Mary Phagan. People called officers to tell them what to do, and hundreds of letters poured in from the state and six other states. Two women who dreamed of a murder accurately described the killer. When the detectives showed that they really believed either Frank or Lee was the culprit, the atmosphere reached a climax, and Thursday night promised something ugly. City, county, and even state officials took great care. Governor Joseph M. Brown advised Lieutenant General J. Van Holt Nash to keep in touch with the Georgia National Guard from the 5th Georgia Regiment to prepare the army for emergencies. Colonel E. E. Pomeroy, commander of the 5th Regiment, gathered his men at the Auditorium Armory, a few blocks from the tower where Frank and Lee were in prison, and held them there until late at night. At 11:30 am the soldiers were allowed to return to their homes.
Rumors of mob violence were proven unsubstantiated Thursday until the coroner's jury reconvened Monday morning. On Saturday morning, Attorney H.M. Dorsey held a lengthy meeting with Chief Detective Ranford and Coroner Paul Donoghue, which resulted in more witnesses being called into the investigation and the city and state police uniting in the case. It was decided to work on it. The new Fulton County Grand Jury was heard Monday morning by Judge W.D. Eris swore. The judge reminded the coroner's jury of the need to reconsider the Phagan case before indictment for the murder of Mary Phagan. The first witness called was Leo M. Frank, who remained on the stand for three and a half hours, recounting where he was and what he was doing on the day of the murder.
The only other witnesses questioned that afternoon were Mr. and Mrs. Emile Selig, where the Franks lived. For the first time, Frank testified that, formerly living in Brooklyn, New York, he left Brooklyn in October 1907 and went abroad to return to the United States to work for the National Pencil Company, where he became general director. Frank was responsible for managing material purchases, checking factory costs, ensuring orders were properly entered and fulfilled, and overseeing production in general. He came to the factory as usual on Saturday morning and by noon he was doing his usual routine. No one was in his office when he started copying and shipping orders.
At either 12:10 p.m. or 12:05 p.m., the murdered girl came to pick up the envelope. Frank was processing an order in his office when she showed up and demanded her envelope. He handed her the pay envelope knowing that the employee would collect it.
The most important detail in the audiobook is that the witness, Frank, had a basket of money to avoid going to the vault and did not know Mary Phagan's phone number. After he handed her her pay envelope, he did not look and did not mark her payment on her payslips or other records. The girl walked away and asked if the medal had arrived, but the witness explained that Phagan's child had not worked since Monday due to metal shortages. There was $1.20 in the child's pay bag, part of which was from work the previous Friday and Saturday. Witnesses heard her footsteps disappearing into her hallway and went back to her work without thinking about her. He knew the fake and the child's face, but he didn't know what it was called. He thought her name was written on the outside of her pay envelope, but he identified her by her number. Witnesses said she told the girl she was nearly late when she left and that she didn't put herself on her payroll after she gave the girl her envelope. Then Frank made an astonishing remark. Chips Foreman Frank and Chips Foreman Lemmie Quinn chatted for a bit and left at about 12:20pm.
Frank then went to the fourth floor and found two boys who had worked in the factory, Harry Denham, Arthur White and Mrs. White. He returned to the factory soon afterward and met Lee at the police station the Monday after the murder. Frank said of his conversation with Lee at the police station after Monday's murder, investigators told him to interrogate the black man and extract a confession. Frank left the stand as unfazed by the barrage of criticism and questions he received as he had before testifying. Emile Selig and his wife, Mrs. Josephine Selig, also followed Frank on the witness stand. They testified that they met Frank at dinner on Saturdays and Sundays. An inquest into Mary Phagan's death has been postponed until 9:30 a.m. Thursday morning. Six witnesses testified, including Boots Rogers, Lemmie Quinn, Miss Corinthia Hall, Miss Hattie Hall, and J.L. Hall. Watkins and Daisy Jones. Boots Rogers testified that on Sunday morning, when Mary Phagan's body was found, Frank swapped tapes and watches while police were at the factory, at the time Frank removed his seat from the watch. He said it had been stolen, but he testified that this was clearly the case. must be correct.
J.L. Watkins and Miss Daisy Jones underwent a thorough investigation by the coroner to disprove Quinn's statement that he visited the factory on the day of the tragedy. Rogers described Frank's behavior on Sunday morning when police drove him to his home to take him to the factory. Factory employee Corinthia Hall testified that Frank's treatment of the girls at the factory was irreproachable. J. L. Watkins testified that he mistook Dr. Daisy Jones for Mary Phagan when he thought he saw Mary on the street near her home about 5:00 p.m. Saturday. Detective Harry Scott of the Pinkerton Agency was one of the first witnesses, followed by Assistant Superintendent Schiff of the Pencil Factory.
Scott's most interesting testimony was that one of Frank's lawyers, Herbert Haas, asked him to withdraw from the case for the time being. Detective John Black followed Scott on the witness stand and said he found a bloody shirt at Lee's home Tuesday afternoon after the murder. On Saturday afternoon, Newt Lee was called back to the witness stand and informed that Frank was clearly nervous. Frank was recalled to the witness stand and testified on general questions about elevators, time clocks, Saturday afternoon's work, behavior that night and Sunday morning, and factory precautions. As the witnesses finished their testimony for the afternoon, everyone in the courtroom took a deep breath in the idea that the now-famous Phagan case should be left to a group of men summoned for trial. An autopsy jury in the death of Mary Phagan at the National Pencil Factory is tasked with determining who is guilty of murder. One by one, the six members of the jury walked out the door, and the foreman announced the verdict. The coroner's jury ruled that Mary Phagan's death was strangulation and recommended that pencil factory owner Leo M. Frank and night watchman Newt Lee be detained for a grand jury investigation. Mr. Frank was reading the afternoon newspaper in the tower hallway when a lieutenant approached him and told him that the coroner's jury had recommended that he and Lee be sent to a grand jury for autopsy. An important detail in the document is that Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey was so interested in the case that he hired a private investigator to conduct an independent investigation into the tragedy.
It was later discovered that Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey was so intrigued by the case that he had hired a private investigator to independently investigate the tragedy. Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey was convinced that Frank was guilty and that he had used the detective only to gather evidence against Frank, not to work impartially to solve the mystery. Defendant's friends began to explain that he was being persecuted because of his race. Atlanta Jews firmly believed that Frank was innocent and not as outspoken as Dorsey. The town detectives were adamant that Frank was the killer, but he was open to any leads.
The attorney detectives quit their jobs about ten days later and never showed up in Atlanta again. A few weeks after the coroner placed Frank and Newt Lee in the tower as suspects, he heard a young girl talking on the street corner and met with Mary outside the factory while going upstairs to collect the salary she received from Frank. Rumors circulated that he had been waiting for Investigators eventually located the woman in question and found she had been to the factory the Saturday before the tragedy involving the girl, where she died a week later.
Colonel Thomas B. Felder, a prominent Atlanta attorney who prosecuted a high-profile transplant case at a pharmacy and earned the lasting animosity of South Carolina Governor Cole Breese, has addressed the residents of Bellwood County. announced that he was speaking as follows. He was hired to find and prosecute the girl's murderer where Mary Phagan lived. He said he believes the killer was actually Leo M. Frank, and the Georgians have unraveled the mystery and provided enough evidence to identify and convict Frank and others. He said he needed to hire any detective he could get. They were guilty when Frank was innocent. Felder was a personal friend of William J. Mr. Burns and Mr. Burns had supported efforts to impeach Governor Breese. Felder said that if the public supported him by donating to the foundation, he would have Burns come to Atlanta and start searching for the Factory Girls Slayer.
Subscriptions quickly picked up, and on May 18, he received a Special Counsel. C.W. Toby came to Atlanta to settle the loose ends and smooth things over. The document's most important detail is the allegation that Colonel Felder tried to bribe the GC. February used a stenographer to steal certain affidavits and documents in the Phagan case. Secretary Ranford accused Colonel Felder of trying to bribe the GC. February used a stenographer to steal certain affidavits and documents in the Phagan case. Dictatorship records show Felder was negotiating the purchase of certain affidavits that were to be submitted to the city's Criminal Investigation Department, alleging that the boss and some of his members had engaged in open and proven corruption.
The deal was brokered by a Tennessee adventurer who knew Felder during a transplant examination at a pharmacy. Mayor James G. Woodward was also involved and allegedly approved an effort by Felder to get the goods to detectives. This abuse battle almost devolved into a fistfight when the two principals met in court. The Felder v. Rumford dispute was the result of a grand jury investigation into the high-profile Dictogram case. Felder was indicted for defamation against Ranford, who was also indicted for defamation against Felder, and several publicized attacks on each other were made. This has increased public interest in the crime, making it difficult to quell rumors of an invisible hand at work. On Friday, May 23, a Fulton County grand jury considered a bill indicting Frank for murder. The witness heard on the first day of the session was Dr. P. Barrett found the girl's hair on the second floor of the factory near the same spot as the blood stain.
J.N. Detective Stars and he W. Rogers was one of the key witnesses at the grand jury's second day meeting, even though hundreds of people declared that Frank would never be indicted. Key witnesses from the second session included Harry Scott, Pinkerton, and Miss Monteen Stover. The girl was a new character in the case and a very important witness. She told the grand jury that she entered Superintendent Frank's office at exactly 12:10 p.m. and waited for five minutes without seeing Frank or the officer, just as she was about to collect her paycheck.
The girl did not testify at the coroner's inquest, but investigators admitted they wanted her as a key witness. Shortly after discovering Monteen Stover, Harry Scott of the Pinkertons and John Black of the Metropolitan Police visited Frank in the Tower and asked him if he had left his office between noon and 12:50 on Saturday. Frank replied that he hadn't left the office since Miss Hall until he went up to the fourth floor to tell Arthur White's wife that he had the building locked. The girl's testimony was the only flaw the police found in Frank's story told at her inquest, so the attorney took the testimony very seriously. All the points confirmed by her witnesses turned out to be true. Monteee Stover's story was considered conclusive, and when Scott followed her to the witness stand and spoke of Frank's repeated allegations that he had failed to leave the office within the prescribed period, the grand jury returned the truthful explanation. Five Jews participated in the grand jury, an unusual number for Fulton County, and there were many rumors that the indictment would be blocked before the indictment was returned but even if one vote was cast against the bill, each lawmaker signed the indictment, so that fact never became public. Frank didn't expect to be indicted, so he confidently told his friends that a grand jury would never indict him for the crimes in the Tower cell. He was in charge of virtually all sides of the case and took the news calmly.
Judge Roan announced at noon on Wednesday that he would reverse his decision and strike Conley's testimony regarding perversion and his prior acts of watching for Frank from the records. After making a motion to have the audience leave the courtroom, Attorney Arnold asked the judge to declare a mistrial after Judge Roan refused to do so. Following Dalton's departure from the stand and Dr. F.H. Harris finished testifying on Thursday morning, the state prosecution took a break. The defense presented their case right away, with Dr. Leroy Childs claiming that many of Dr. Harris' deductions were merely educated guesses. The defense called back Pinkerton detective Harry Scott on Thursday in an effort to prove that Conley had received training before giving his police statements.
Daisy Hopkins refuted Dalton and James Conley's claims that she ever went to the pencil factory with an immoral intent on Friday, the eighth day of the trial. On this day, the defense presented a cardboard replica of the pencil factory, which was used throughout the remainder of the trial to illustrate witness testimony. George Epps' testimony was contested by W.M. Matthews, and W.T. Hollis, the driver and conductor of the vehicle that the girl used to travel into town. Additionally, civil engineer Albert Kaufman introduced blueprints for each floor of the Pencil factory.
Crowds gathered outside the courthouse became louder and more agitated during the fourth week of the trial, heightening tension throughout the city. Leo M. Frank, who was the most composed person directly involved in the case, maintained a constant demeanor and expression. The pressure didn't bother his mother or wife either. In order to console B'nai B'rith President Moses Frank, the defendant's millionaire uncle, Rabbi David Marx of the Atlanta synagogue postponed a trip to Europe. The way the young man's friends stood by him in his hour of need was the most amazing aspect of the entire Frank case. The references to the defendant and the arguments made to the jury that brought about the famous trial's conclusion are the most crucial details in this incident. Four eminent attorneys, including Luther Z. Rosser, made these references. Reuben R. Arnold, and solicitor Dorsey. The four top lawyers argued that Frank was a mental powerhouse with a brain that, when directed in the right direction, was capable of great things. Frank had more intelligence than either of them, according to Luther Z. Rosser, and his account smacked of veracity.
Although the defendant was not perfect, according to criminal Attorney Reuben R. Arnold, he was a moral gentleman. The state has based its case on Conley's statement, and as such, it stands or falls with it. This is one of the text's most crucial details. Hugh M. Dorsey, the solicitor, disagrees with the unprotected, underprivileged, working girls who accuse him of having a bad character. He thinks that the only thing this man has is a reputation, and no other qualities. He merely possesses a reputation; he lacks character. To preserve his reputation, he strangled Mary Phagan; her blood is visible on his hands. Frank A. Hooper asserted that the defendant, like Dr. Jekyll, abandoned his façade of respectability and descended to a lower social level, where he chose to associate with Dalton and people of a similar disposition rather than the men who had come to endow him with a good reputation. The factory was a great place for a man with lust and no morals, and a crime was planned. Attorney Dorsey argued that on the Saturday before the murder, Frank was riding the Hapeville Line with a young girl, and he made several attempts to get her out of the car. One of the factory workers, Miss Emily Mayfield, refuted this testimony, saying she had never witnessed the superintendent act inappropriately toward the female workers.
At noon on Saturday, the second week of the trial came to a close with Herbert Schiff, the assistant in Frank Young's office, testifying. Schiff asserted that it was Frank's habit to prepare the financial statement every Saturday afternoon and that it was impossible for the task to be finished in less time than two to three hours. The most significant information in this text is that Dr. Willis Westmoreland, a former State Board of Health president, and Dr. T.H. Hancock, Doctor J.C. Olmstead and Dr. George Bachman stated that it was only a guess on the part of any doctor to try to determine the time of death based on the state of the food in a corpse's stomach.
On August 11, the defense once more attacked Dr. Harris' testimony, and they called several witnesses who swore they would not believe C.B. Dalton. To connect the time alibi to the stenographer and bookkeeper for Montauk Brothers, Miss Hattie Hall, was contacted. She described how she had met Frank at Montague Brothers the morning of the murder and that he had asked her to come to the factory and steno for him. According to Miss Hall's testimony, she stayed at the factory until two or three minutes after twelve and timed her departure to coincide with the blowing of the 12:00 whistle.
According to Joel Hunter, a highly qualified accountant and mathematician, Frank could not have finished the financial report in much less than 3 hours, and there was additional small-scale work on the office account books that would take him anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours longer. The defense team for the accused superintendent defied the state's request to call witnesses who would cast doubt on his character on Wednesday, the fifteenth day of the trial. His character was outstanding, according to two former Cornell Nell of New York classmates who traveled to Atlanta only to give testimony. Several college professors and Frank's former classmates traveled far south to be by his side during his time of need.
The defense tried to introduce evidence of four men who acted out Conley's story of carrying the body to the basement, but solicitor Dorsey and attorney Hooper vehemently objected. These are the most crucial details in this text. After detailing the other alleged behaviors of Conley and Frank on the day of the murder, Dr. William Owens described how three other men had carried a sack weighing 110 pounds, the same as Mary Phagan's body, into the basement. During cross-examination, Attorney Hooper made an effort to downplay the importance of the experiment and produced a letter he had written to the grand jury in advance of the trial requesting that Conley be charged as an accessory. When John Ashley Jones took the witness stand and spoke about Frank's moral character, the state launched its first assault on the superintendent's reputation.
Dorsey was quickly on his feet and asking one question after another when the witness was handed over for cross examination. In her seat, the defendant's mother, Mrs. Ray Frank, turned to face the attorney. Herbert Haas, a member of the Frank party, and other men led Mrs. Lucille Frank out of the courtroom. For the first time since her husband's trial began, Mrs. Lucille Frank displayed significant emotion, and the accused man's face flushed when the solicitor lobbed his sensational question at the witness. At this point, the courtroom fell silent as the solicitor abruptly concluded his examination and sat down. Mrs. Ray Frank stayed out of the courtroom all afternoon, but she showed up in a car at adjournment and gave her son his customary goodnight kiss.
This attempt by Solicitor Dorsey to have the jury hear the implications of these questions was fiercely resisted by the defense. The strategies employed by Mrs. Leo and Mrs. Ray Frank, according to attorney Arnold, were unfair, unjust, and unethical. But on August 14's first morning, attorney Dorsey requested that Mrs. Leo and Mrs. Ray Frank not be allowed inside the courtroom. When the women agreed to stop interrupting, Judge Roan declined to comply with the request. At ten minutes after 1:00, Ms. Helen Curran of 160 Ashby Street testified that she saw Frank standing in front of a pharmacy. Selig's friends testified that Frank didn't show any signs of anxiety on the evening of Saturday, April 26.
Solicitor Dorsey made an effort during cross-examination to highlight the fact that Frank tried to appear too carefree on this night and to draw attention to himself by laughing so loudly. On Saturday, August 16, Mrs.
Ray Frank took the witness stand in the afternoon and pointed to a letter with the date of April 26 that was supposed to be written by her son. It was addressed to his well-to-do uncle, Moses Frank, who was traveling to Europe and was then currently in New York. The letter included a price list, a report from the factory, and a letter from Lucille to her nephew.
Moses Frank, who was in New York en route to Europe, received the letter. The 100 witnesses who attested to Leo Frank's moral character—the majority of whom were girls working on the fourth floor of the pencil factory—are the most crucial information in this document. Then Mrs. E.H. Carson, one of the initial witnesses, stated that she had never heard any criticism of Frank regarding the factory and that she believed him to be a good person.
When Miss Irene Jackson was called by the defense as a character witness, she stated that Frank had arrived at the door of the girl's dressing room on the factory's second floor and stood there staring at the people inside. Conley was locked up in the county jail when a reporter for the Atlanta Journal, Harley Branch, spoke with him. Branch reported that Conley had denied seeing Lemmie Quinn enter the factory on Saturday, April 26. The witness's involvement with the city detectives was revealed during cross-examination by Attorney Dorsey. To disprove Dr. William Owens' testimony, James Conley performed a pantomime reenactment of the body being hid on the day of the crime. Most of the workers at the factory claimed that Conley had a poor character and that they would not believe him if he gave an oath.
After the court's Friday, August 16, non-adjournment, attorneys made threats. The gathering of the evidence had taken three weeks, and it was still far from over. The trial continued until almost the middle of the fifth week. It had put a tremendous strain on each of the attorneys, who were nearly exhausted. The court met every day at 9:00 and met until 12:30, when it broke for dinner. This took place for one and half hours during the morning. The court resumed at 2:00 in the afternoon, and it wasn't until 6:00 in the evening that the adjournment was made. Luther Rosser had lost 25 pounds and solicitor Dorsey had turned pale and uneasy, so all the lawyers were on high alert. Receiving numerous threatening letters from all over the state added to the difficulty the defense attorneys faced while working. While his brother, attorney Rosser, had two men by his side at all times, Ruben Arnold was followed by a bodyguard of three men. The lawyers for both sides received a deluge of telegrams and letters from all over the country offering counsel and condemnation. One man from Nashville, Tennessee, spent at least $100 sending Mr. Rosser advice and pointers on how to present the defense case.
The most crucial information in this passage is that on Monday afternoon, Frank took the witness stand by himself and delivered the most remarkable statement ever heard in a Georgian criminal courtroom. His testimony was so impressive that many people began to think he was incapable and innocent of the crime being brought against him. Frank started making his statement at five minutes after two in the morning and finished at four. He was twice cut off by Solicitor Dorsey, who objected to the display of items not entered as evidence, and he also took a break to get a drink of water. His voice was just as clear when he was finished as it had been at the beginning of the ordeal. His auditors were rendered speechless by his final phrases. After Frank finished speaking, there was a brief moment of complete silence in the courtroom before Mrs. Leo Frank's sobbing and Attorney Arnold's laconic order broke the silence. With the same confidence and vigor as when he had first walked onto the stand four hours earlier, Frank exited it. Mary Phagan, a young Brooklyn girl, was allegedly murdered by Leo Frank.
The sheriff took him to his quarters in the tower, where he was calm and in full control of his faculties. He mentally performed challenging mathematical operations, gave a brief account of his life, and refuted the claims of Jim Conley, a Black man whose sworn statement has brought him dangerously close to the death penalty. His mother and father only have enough money to get by, he has no wealthy relatives in Brooklyn, and his father is a disabled person. His legal counsel will be compensated by the sale of a portion of his parents' estate because there is no fund set aside for his defense. As part of his circumstantial defense, Frank got up from the witness stand to describe the tasks involved in creating the factory's weekly financial statement. He spoke to the twelve men who have the power to put him to death with the same sincerity as if his life were not on the line.
On April 26, the narrator awoke between 7:00 and 7:30 in the morning, leisurely showered and dressed, ate breakfast, boarded a Washington Street or Georgia Avenue car, and arrived at the factory on Forsyth Street at around 8:30. He went to where he normally found Mr. Holloway, the day watchman, and greeted him there. The office boy, Alonzo Mann, was in the outside office. The narrator opened their desk, took off their hat and coat, and unlocked the safe. Miss Maddie Smith requested the pay envelopes of her sister-in-law and herself from the narrator at 9:15 o'clock.
When Mr. Schiff gave them the package of envelopes the previous evening, the narrator went to the safe, unlocked it, and took the contents out. The remaining envelopes were positioned in their cash box. About 9:35 or 9:40, Mr. Darley and the narrator left for Montague's. En route, they stopped at the intersection of Hunter and Forsyth streets for drinks at Crookshank's Soda Water Fountain, where the narrator also purchased a pack of his preferred cigarettes.
The narrator and Frank shared a drink and talked for a while. They then went to Montague Brothers, where they spoke with Mr. Sig Montague, the company's general manager, and Miss Hattie Hall, the pencil company's stenographer. Miss Hattie Hall, Mrs. Arthur White, and the office boy were waiting for them when they returned to Forsyth Street alone. The elevator motor then began to run, and the carpenter's shop circular saw also began to operate. Upon entering, Mrs. Emma Clark Freeman and Miss Corinthia Hall requested permission to go upstairs and retrieve Mrs. Freeman's coat.
Two men entered, one of whom was Mr. Graham and the other was Earl Burdett's father. The two boys had gotten into some sort of trouble the day before during the noon break, and they had been taken to police headquarters, which is a very crucial piece of information in this passage. The narrator spoke with the two fathers while handing them the necessary pay envelopes and asking them about the mischief their sons had gotten into. Mrs. Emma Clark Freeman entered the narrator's office and requested permission to use the phone just before they left. The narrator called for Miss Hattie Hall and told him what mail to deliver.
She left the office and came back when the 12:00 whistle sounded. Frank went into great detail about the pencil factory method of recording orders. Mary Phagan, a young child, asked the narrator for her pay envelope after Miss Hall had left the office. Despite not knowing her name, the narrator recognized her from seeing her around the plant. She had reportedly worked in the metal department before being let go because some metal hadn't arrived at the factory.
The plant's foreman, Lemmie Quinn, entered and inquired about the whereabouts of Mr. Schiff. After completing their work and requisitions, the narrator looked at their watch at quarter past one and continued working. When they dialed their number, Minola answered and said they would have lunch right away. The narrator then collected their papers and went upstairs to visit the boys who were on the top floor. It was 12:35, according to Mrs. Arthur White, when she passed by and noticed the narrator.
The narrator is unaware of what happened. The narrator saw Arthur White, Harry Denham, and Mr. White's wife when they arrived upstairs, which is one of the most crucial details in the document. When the narrator asked if they were prepared to leave, they replied that they had set up some work. The narrator then went downstairs, gathered their papers, locked their desk, washed their hands, put on their hat and coat, and locked both the inner door to their office and the doors leading to the streets. When the whistle for 12:00 blew, the narrator remained in the inner office until after quarter past one, when they spoke to Arthur White and Harry Denham. The narrator might have gone to the restroom in response to a natural urge (i.e. nature's calling).
The defense witness' testimony that she was unaware of any wrongdoing by the defendant and that she had never engaged in any such behavior with him drew objections from attorney Rosser. Attorney Dorsey argued in response that the testimony was given in rebuttal to James Conley's testimony and that it would not be admissible if the witness attempted to prove a separate crime. The defense's witness testified that she was unaware of any wrongdoing on the part of the defendant and that she had never engaged in any wrongdoing with him before the jury was dismissed. Attorney Rosser objected to her testimony. Attorney Dorsey argued in response that the testimony was given in rebuttal to James Conley's testimony and that it would not be admissible if the witness attempted to prove a separate crime. It was decided by attorney Rosser that the defense witness must first return to the witness stand for cross-examination.
This was based on his assertion that a defense witness had testified about actions taken in Frank's office.
Ms. Griffin then asked the witness if she was familiar with Leo M. Frank's general demeanor toward women.
When the solicitor asked questions, Miss Myrtice Cato responded that she was aware of Frank's general demeanor and that it was undesirable. In response to the solicitor's queries, Mrs. R.M. Donegan stated that she was familiar with Frank's personality in general and that it was negative. In 1910, Mrs. H.J. Johnson of Stonewall, Georgia, who was contacted, claimed to have spent two months working at the pencil factory.
She claimed that Frank had a poor reputation in general and that she didn't know a lot about his relationships with women. The court ruled that the solicitor was not permitted to ask any more questions, and a large number of women quickly followed. One of the women was prepared to give a deposition claiming that Frank had made an inappropriate proposal to her in his private office and that she had used a monkey wrench before leaving the space. Miss Dewey Hewell was brought to Atlanta from the good shepherd's house in Cincinnati to give a testimony about Frank's acquaintance with Mary Phagan and her conversation with him. She witnessed him call her Mary, put his hand on her shoulder, and stand where he did when speaking to her.
On August 20, both parties were placed under arrest as Leo M. Frank's trial for killing Mary Phagan got under way. The State's rebuttal was completed shortly after the noon break. The introduction of sub rebuttal evidence took less than an hour. Pawn broker Nathan Sinkovitz swore M.E. McCoy had pawned his watch with him in January, and he had kept it until August. Others disputed the streetcar men's claims that Mary had not been accompanied by young George Epps when she arrived in town on the fateful day.
Frank A. Hooper, an attorney, began the state's case for Frank's conviction with an eloquent speech full of word pictures, occasionally sarcastic, occasionally pitiful, occasionally humorous, but always dramatic. He began a series of days of oratory unmatched in Georgian history.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Hooper informed the jury that the State gladly accepted the burden of proving the defendant's guilt and that the State was not seeking a guilty verdict unless the defendant was guilty. He characterized the defendant as a man who was friendly with two very dissimilar groups of associates, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He compared Jim Conley to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a man who got along with two very different groups of friends. The most dramatic part of his speech came when he said, "Give the defendant the benefit of the doubt. The circumstances show that he either killed this little girl or sat there in his office and let the negro kill her, drag her body down the hall to the elevator, and take it down to the basement.".
While Monteen Stover was in Frank's office, this murder took place in the metal room. Attorney Mr. Hooper made the point to the jury that even though Frank had sworn he didn't leave his office between noon and midnight, the Stover girl had gone there during that time. Hooper made fewer arguments in the Frank trial than any of the attorneys who came after him. Luther Rosser took exactly the same amount of time to argue as Attorney Arnold, who took his place on the floor. In one of his longest prosecution speeches in a criminal case in the South, Solicitor Dorsey spoke for between eleven and twelve hours. The gestures of a master actor could not have been more dramatic as attorney Arnold spoke slowly, carefully selecting his words, and pausing for emphasis. His eloquence had the power to capture and hold the interest of both the jury and the audience.
He began by visualizing the jury as previously stated, sequestered, guarded, reading no papers, and hearing nothing of the public discussion of the trial in order to reach a verdict free from bias or prejudice. Then he castigated the loud-mouthed, long-tongued cretins who assume a man is guilty the instant someone points a finger of suspicion in his direction. The speaker claimed that if Frank had not been a Jew, he would not have been charged, and he criticized those who would punish the defendant "for no other reason than that he is a Jew.". He expressed respect for the jury by stating that they were far above average. He claimed that if he hadn't been a Jew, he never would have been charged, and that Negro Conley had been called to testify in court.
He pleaded with his kind to treat this man fairly before treating a Jew unfairly. In addition, he pointed out that some of the evidence in the case was prodded rather than corroborated, and that there was a particular class that was always prepared to provide evidence. The State's theory surrounding Mary Phagan's murder, according to Arnold, is illogical and ridiculous. Reuben Arnold also exposed his racism and prejudice as a White Jew against African-Americans ("Negros"). He argued that Mary Phagan's murder was brutal and typical of a Negro and that Conley had a much better chance of killing the girl than Frank did. His hypothesis was that Conley was half-intoxicated on that Saturday morning, his passions were heightened, and he was enviously eyeing every girl and woman who passed.
Conley grabbed Mary Phagan's mesh bag as she descended the stairs and struck her over the left eye, knocking her to the ground. Once Frank had left, he waited outside the factory before dropping her body through the elevator shaft, finishing his brutal work in the basement.
Attorney Arnold established the rule that, before a man can be found guilty based solely on circumstantial evidence, the evidence must be so strong as to rule out all other reasonable hypotheses besides the accused's guilt. Mary Phagan's murder can be explained just as easily, if not more easily, on the theory that Conley did it than on the theory that Frank did it, Attorney Arnold had to persuade the jury of this. Frank was the only man in the factory and had a chance to do it, so suspicion was focused on him. On the fourth floor were Mrs. White, Denham, and Arthur White. Before Frank was taken into custody, no one knew anyone was in the factory's most convenient location for crime—down by the elevator hole and/or shaft.
Mr. Starnes may believe he is pursuing justice and the truth, but he doesn't really believe this. Evidence obtained through third-degree torture, persecutory methods, or other means is dangerous evidence.
The fact that they told him he couldn't swear to that allowed Conley to create an entire narrative. The most significant information in this text is that a Negroes mock their bosses and try to learn their expressions, and that he made up a story to protect himself. Anyone who has spent any time around a courthouse is aware of this. He was aware that they were attempting to indict Frank and that they were trying to build a case against him.
The solicitor general promised to pursue the case against Frank as far as the court will allow him, which gave the detectives cause for concern that they would face criticism if they did not. The solicitor general promised to take the case against Frank as far as the court will allow him, which made the detectives fearful of criticism if they did not pursue it further. Since the solicitor general promised to take the case against Frank as far as the court will allow it, the detectives were worried they would come under fire if they did not pursue it further. The most crucial information in this passage is that Dalton had visited the factory between 1:00 and 2:00, while Frank was eating lunch. This man does not know where Dalton went inside the building; he only saw him enter through the front door.
The recording also mentions that the factory has nothing objectionable and that both the Clark Woodenware Company and the Pencil factory entered through the same door. It also mentions that the factory was under the watchful eyes of Starnes, Black, and Pat Campbell, who dared not take the witness stand for fear of being questioned about how he obtained those statements from Conley. The turmoil that has recently occurred in Atlanta is covered in the audiobook. A vice squad has been organized by Beavers to look for wrongdoers in the city, and a new decalogue has been written. Dorsey's friend Hooper asserted that while Schiff and Darley were morally repugnant, there was no evidence of Schiff's guilt or wrongdoing.
The trial's most noteworthy statement came from Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey. After Attorney Rosser closed on Friday afternoon, he spoke for more than 11 hours on the floor over the course of three different days. He picked up his argument on Monday morning and continued until noon to finish his speech.
Fear of returning a verdict on Saturday night was the main driver of the protracted adjournment. Dorsey thoroughly and faithfully covered every aspect of the case, and his arraignment of Frank was likely the harshest ever directed at a defendant in a murder trial in the history of the entire nation.
He was greeted with applause, and the vast majority of people praised his demeanor and his admirable efforts to ensure the conviction of the young factory superintendent. "This is not just a significant case; it's also an extraordinary case. The crime was extraordinary, horrible, heinous, and committed by a demon. The investigation into the crime required the detectives' and my own vigilance, sincerity, and diligence. The four Messers Arnold and Rosser and the two Messers Haas who have argued the case are the most crucial details in this text because of their standing and significance. Mr. Rosser, who rides the wind and stirs the storm, and Mr. Arnold, who is as mild-mannered as any man who has ever cut someone's throat or scuttled a ship, have acted extraordinarily and have defamed and abused the defendant. The detectives have attacked the defendant in such a way that the defendant's good mother stood up and called the defendant a dog in front of everyone. While Mr. Dorsey doesn't need the defendant's approval, he would doubt his own honesty if he did. Mr. Arnold thinks the detectives should have been outraged because they were motivated by prejudice.
When Mr. Dorsey inquires about the detectives' motivations, Mr. Arnold responds that they were paid to act the part. The case wasn't based on the defendant being a Jew, and the first time bias entered the case, it was brought in by two men who were happy to ask Kenley those questions, according to the text's most crucial details. The speaker contends that the defendant's ancestors were civilized at a time when ours were still eating human flesh and that the defendant's race is just as superior to ours. He respects the race that gave birth to Israeli, J.P. Benjamin, Strauss, the diplomat for Strauss, and Rabbi Marks. Becker sought men of Rosenthal's racial background when he wanted to execute Rosenthal. In New York and San Francisco, Abe Roof and Abe Hummel perished, and Schwartz was sentenced to prison for stabbing a young girl. The defendant has a poor character, and David in the past was a great man until he forced old Uriah to lead a decisive battle so he could steal his wife, according to this audiobook. Before betraying his country, Benedict Arnold was a brave man who had the respect of everyone and the leaders of the Revolutionary War. Irish knight Oscar Wilde had a good reputation up until he was found guilty. Although Abe Roof of San Francisco had a good reputation in the past, he corrupted Smith and everyone else he came into contact with. If you have a case that is supported by the evidence, good character is worthless.
The examples of crime committed by intelligent men are the most crucial information in the document. The mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia, McEwen, shot his wife while she was in the bathtub, and a jury of honorable Virginians sentenced him to life in prison. A preacher in Boston who enjoyed the trust of his followers, Richardson became involved with another young woman and wanted to get rid of her, but he lost himself to the point of murder. Henry Clay Beatty, a renowned family man, demonstrated his moral character by taking his wife for a drive and then killing her in cold blood. The detectives in that case were denigrated and abused, but a jury of Virginia farmers sentenced him to death and raised the citizens of that vast commonwealth to a higher plain.
Beatty never admitted to the crime, but he did leave a note that could be read after his death and in which he admitted to the charge. High-ranking English physician Crippen murdered his wife because he was obsessed with another woman. Jim Conley has not been impeached, but his general character has not been tarnished by anything other than the National Pencil Factory's hired mouthpieces. His relationships with Miss Rebecca Carson, Miss Jackson, Miss Kitchens, Darley and Miss Maddie Smith as to what they did on April 26 are all upheld by the failure to question these crazed fanatics, Miss Jackson's account of how he went to the dressing room, Miss Kitchens' account of how he went to the dressing room, Darley and Miss Maddie Smith's account of what they did on April 26, and Miss Jackson's account of how he went to the dressing room.
Jim Conley, a black man who works at a pencil factory, is charged with murder. He is accused of stealing sacks from the pencil factory, going into the medal room with a poor girl, hearing footsteps of two people walking away, seeing the blood on the second floor, hearing Holloway and Boots Rogers testify, seeing the blood on the second floor, seeing the noose in the cord, seeing the notes alone, seeing the blood on the second floor, and hearing footsteps of two people walking away. Additionally, it is noted that Arthur White took out a $2 loan in the afternoon, but there is no entry to support Frank's contribution to that loan. Frank also defended Conley when he mentioned that he had relatives in Brooklyn and when Mr. Rosser inquired about Mincey.
The arguments made by the jurors during the defendant, Mincey's trial, are the most crucial details in this text. The jury finds Mincey guilty of killing Mary Phagan, a young girl who died honorably and without leaving a mark. Mincey strangled Mary and killed her. The jury also holds the opinion that the defendant is guilty by virtue of every act committed by him, and that every circumstance implicates him in the murder of the young girl.
The jury is of the opinion that the defendant's mesh bag vanished in the same manner as the stick on the first floor and the bloody shirt at Newt Lee's residence. The jury also found that Mrs. Ray Frank and Mrs.
Lucille Frank, the defendant's mother and wife, both had their hands over their eyes and appeared to be affected.
The jury finally comes to the conclusion that Mincey killed Mary Phagan and that there can be only one verdict. With each intonation of "guilty, guilty," the gong on the Catholic Church, which is located a block from the courthouse, chimed, culpable, and the bell rang. Judge Roan started reading his charge right away and finished at 12:47 p.m. The protracted trial was almost over, and the jury's decision was the last thing that was needed.
There was open discussion of racial disparities and threats of violence in the event of acquittal. At 12:47 p.m., Judge Roan concluded his remarks and informed the talesmen that they alone would determine the admissibility of the evidence and the credibility of the witnesses. Before midnight, the jury was led across the street to Cafe for dinner before being led back into the courtroom. When attorney Dorsey left the building ten minutes later to cross the street to his office, the crowd picked him up and carried him. They heard cheers for Dorsey.
The jury's twelve male members were given a room on the fourth floor of the courthouse. Deputy Sheriff Plenty Minor was informed that a decision had been made by jury foreman Windburn shortly after three o'clock. Judge Roan was called from his home and called again for the second ballot, along with attorney Dorsey. In order to stop a potential outbreak, the defendant had waved his presence and stayed in his cell at the tower. The moment the jury members sat down in the individual boxes they were wearing, silence descended upon the courtroom.
The solemn gesture that was interpreted could only have one meaning. Judge Roan addressed the jury in a formal manner, asking, "Gentlemen, have you reached a verdict?". Foreman Windburn answered, "We have.".
The court commanded, "Read it.". The jury's verdict, which stated, "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty," was held in the foreman's hand as he got up from his seat. That was the final conclusion of "The Leo Frank Case".
