The Leo Frank case was convened in a temporary Atlanta courtroom on July 28, 1913, with 250 seats and 20 officers guarding the courtroom. The jurors, all white men and Atlanta residents, were chosen within 3 hours of the first morning of the trial. The defense used 18 of its 20 strikes without a cause while the prosecution used seven of the ten allowed. The twelve jurors were C.J. Bashard Pressman, I Hensley, Buggy Company, J. F. Higdon Building Contractor, Jefferies - Real Estate, Johenning Shipping Clerk, WF Medcalf Mailer, J.T. Osborne, Optician, Frederick V. L. Smith paying teller, D. Townsend paying teller, F.A. Windburn Railroad Claims agent, Al Weizby Cashier, M. S. Woodward - Cashier, King - Hardware. The Chief prosecutor, solicitor General Hugh A. Dorsey, was handsome and forceful, assisted by Frank Arthur Hooper and Edward A. Stevens. The defense was defended by Atlanta's two well known trial lawyers Special Assistant Solicitor Hooper described the State's case against Leo Frank, who was accused of premeditated rape of Mary Phagan. He alleged that Frank had seduced and taken liberties with other young factory girls and had made unsuccessful advances to Mary Phagan. Several surviving family members have said that Frank harassed Mary Phagan and that she went home and told her mother several former National Pencil Company employees have also alleged that they heard Frank sexually harass Mary Phagan.
The state argued that Frank was alone in the office, gave Mary Phagan her pay envelope, then followed Mary to the medal room and made sexual overtures to her. He then strangled her and gave Conley $2.50 and then $200, but later had Conley return the money. Hooper singled out the expected testimony of Monteen Stover, who he claimed would contradict Frank's contention that he had been in his office continuously from 12:00 p.m. Mrs. J. W. Coleman, the mother of Mary Phagan, testified that she last saw her daughter alive on April 26, 1913. A court officer drew forth a suitcase and lifted out the dress and shoes that Mary Phagan had worn when she last saw her.
Fanny Phagan Coleman identified the clothing of her murdered daughter by covering her eyes with a palm fan and sobbing. At that time, few women attended court trials except for those related to the victim or the defendant. Fanny Phagan Coleman and Ali May Phagan attended the trial, as well as Lucille Selig Frank, Frank's wife, and Mrs. Ray Frank, his mother. When asked for her thoughts by a reporter for the Atlanta Journal, Fanny Phagan Coleman said she would rather not talk about it. This silence caused the rest of the Phagan family not to speak of the trial for the next 70 years.
The narrator went out of the door and stayed until four minutes to six. When he returned, the doors were unlocked and the narrator went to Mr. Frank to change the slip. It took him twice as long as the other times he saw him fix it. When Mr. Frank put the tape in, the narrator punched and went on downstairs. Mr. Gantt came from across the street from the beer saloon and asked for a pair of old shoes to have fixed.
Mr. Frank ran into Gantt unexpectedly and asked him to help him find them. The narrator went up there with Mr. Gantt and found them in the shipping room. Mr. Frank phoned the narrator that night about an hour after he left. He asked if everything was all right and said goodbye. The narrator is a police officer who has been assigned to investigate the murder of a man named Gantt.
On Saturday night, the narrator goes to the building and finds a light on the street floor and a light in the basement. The narrator lit the light at 06:00 and made their rounds regularly every half hour. When 03:00 comes, the narrator discovers a body in the basement and calls up the police station. The narrator then carries the officers down where they find the body. The narrator then tries to get Mr. Frank, but he does not answer.
The most important details in this text are the events leading up to Newt's arrest. On Sunday morning, Newt saw Mr. Frank in the office and was handcuffed to a chair. On Tuesday night, April 29, Newt had a conversation with Mr. Frank at the station house and was handcuffed to a chair. When Mr. Frank came out of his office that Saturday, he was looking down and rubbing his hands. When defense attorney Rosser Cross examined Lee, the witness said that the locked double doors inside the entrance to the building were unlocked. When the prosecution called Sergeant L. S. Dobbs to the stand, he testified that he had never seen Mr. Frank rubbing his hands that way before.
The most important details in this text are the statements made by two witnesses to the murder of Mary Phagan. Albert McKnight, the husband of Frank's Cook, Minola McKnight, testified that between one and 02:00 on Memorial Day he was at the home of Mr. Frank to see his wife. On cross examination, McKnight stated that he saw Frank in the mirror in the corner and that he could not tell who was in the dining room without looking through the mirror. Ms. Helen Ferguson, a friend of the murdered girl, testified that she saw Mr. Frank Friday, April 25, about 07:00 in the evening and asked for Mary Phagan's money. Mr. Frank said he couldn't let her have it, and before he said anything else, she turned around and walked out.
Ms. Ferguson stated that she had gotten Mary's money before and did not remember if Mr. Schiff was in the office when she asked Frank for Mary's pay. By number three, medical experts had different contentions about the question of Mary Phagan's rape. All agreed that there had been a savage struggle after which the girl was strangled. According to the undertaker, there was a two and one half inch wound on the back of the victim's head, exposing part of the skull. The county physician, Dr. J. W. Hurt, testified that the head wound was induced by a blunt edged instrument and occurred before death.
Dr. H. F. Harris, the medical examiner, stated that Mary Phagan's vagina showed evidence of violence before death due to internal bleeding and the epithelium was pulled loose from the inner walls and detached in some places. Nowhere in the testimony can it be found that Mary Phagan was bitten on her breast. Pierre Fonpassen, who had studied the evidence and x rays of the Frank case in 1922, reported that he found x ray pictures showing the girl had been bitten on the left shoulder and neck before strangulation. Dr. Harris asserted that she had eaten her last meal of bread and cabbage approximately one half to three quarters of an hour before she died. C.
B. Dalton, the man whom Jim Conley alleged brought women with Leo Frank to the factory for immoral purposes, took the stand. He stated that he had visited the National Pencil Company three, four or five times and had been in the office of Leo M. Frank. He also mentioned Daisy Hopkins again, but did not remember the first time he was in Mr. Frank's office. The most important details in this text are that the narrator has been to Mr. Frank's office several times this year, and that he had Coca Cola, lemon and lime and beer in his office. On Redirect examination, Dalton stated that Frank had Coca Cola, lemon and lime and beer in his office.
He admitted that he had served time in the chain gang in 1894 for stealing, but claimed that it had been almost 20 years since he had been in trouble. Mel Stanford, who had worked for Frank for two years, testified that he swept the whole floor in the metal room on Friday, April 25. On Monday, the narrator found a spot that had some white hascalline over it on the second floor near the dressing room that wasn't there Friday.
The most important details in this text are the testimony of Jim Conley, a short, stocky black man who was a sweeper at the pencil factory. He testified that he had a conversation with Mr. Frank on Friday, 25 April, and that he wanted him to come to the pencil factory on Saturday morning at 830 to do some work on the second floor. He also testified that he always stayed on the first floor and watched for Mr. Frank while he and a young lady would be up on the second floor chatting. When young ladies would come there, he would sit down at the first floor and watch the door for him. On Thanksgiving Day, he watched for Mr. Frank.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1912, a tall, heavy built lady came to the Capital City Laundry to see her mother. The narrator and Mr. Frank met at the door and he asked the narrator to watch for him. The narrator went to the corner of Nelson and Forsyth Street and saw Mr. Frank as he passed by. The narrator was standing on the corner and Mr. Frank was coming up Forsyth Street towards Nelson Street. Mr. Frank asked the narrator to wait until he came back from Montague's factory.
The narrator was standing on the corner and Mr. Frank came out Nelson Street and down Forsyth Street towards the pencil factory. Mr. Frank and the narrator were passing a grocery store when a young man with a paper sack and his baby stood by the side of him. Mr. Frank said something to the narrator and hit up against the man's baby. Mr. Frank then stopped at Curtis's Drugstore and went into the soda fountain. When they got to the factory, Mr. Frank stopped the narrator at the door and put his hand on the door and turned the knob and said, "You see, you turn the knob just like this and there can't nobody come in from the outside".
Mr. Frank tells the narrator to push a box up against the trash barrel and sit on it. He then tells the narrator to shut the door and come upstairs to Mr. Darley's office to borrow some money. The narrator does as he is told, but Mr. Frank hits the narrator with a blow on his chest and tells them not to let Mr. Darley see them. The narrator refuses to let Mr. Darley see them.
The most important details in this text are that the narrator saw Mr. Darley, Miss Maddie Smith, Negro Draymond, Mr. Quinn, and Miss Mary Perkins. The narrator then went to Nelson and Forsyth Street and saw Mr. Darley, Miss Maddie Smith, Negro Draymond, Mr. Quinn, and Miss Mary Perkins. The narrator then went to Nelson and Forsyth Street and saw Mr. Darley, Miss Maddie Smith, Negro Draymond, Mr. Quinn, and Miss Mary Perkins. The narrator then went to Nelson and Forsyth Street and saw Mr. Darley, Miss Maddie Smith, Negro Draymond, Mr. Quinn, and Miss Mary Perkins. The narrator then went to Nelson and Forsyth Street and saw Mr. Darley, Miss Maddie Smith, Negro Draymond, Mr. Quinn, and Miss Mary Perkins.
The narrator then went to Nelson and Forsyth Street and saw Mr. Darley, Miss Maddie Smith The most important details in this text are that the narrator saw Miss Monte Stover, who had on a pair of tennis shoes and a raincoat, come in and stay there for a while. After she left, someone from the metal department came running back upstairs on their tiptoes. The narrator then heard Mr. Frank whistling and unlocked the door and went up the steps. Mr. Frank was standing at the top of the steps and shivering and trembling with a rope in his hands and a long, wide piece of cord. He had a little rope in his hands and a long, wide piece of cord in his hands, and his eyes were large and looked funny out of his eyes.
He had a cord in his hands just like this one cord. The narrator then went back to the office to see if the little girl's work had come, but she refused and the narrator struck her too hard and she fell and hit her head against something. The narrator has seen Mr. Frank in a position he hasn't seen any other man with children. He has seen him in the office two or three times before Thanksgiving, where a lady was sitting down in a chair with her clothes up to his knees. He has also seen him in the packing room with a young lady lying on the table.
When the narrator returns, they find the lady dead with a rope around her neck and a cloth tied around her neck. The narrator notices the clock and tells him it is four minutes to one. The narrator returns to the cotton box to find the girl dead. Mr. Frank tells the narrator to go back there and get a piece of cloth to put around her and bring her up. The narrator looks around the cotton box and gets a piece of cloth and goes back to the cotton box.
The girl is lying flat on her back and her hands are out. The narrator puts both of her hands down and rolls her up in the cloth and takes the cloth and tie her up and starts to pick her up.
The most important details in this text are that the protagonist is willing to help Mr. Frank because he is a white man and the superintendent of the school. Mr. Frank dictates the notes to the protagonist, who is willing to do anything to help him because he is a white man and his superintendent. The protagonist then takes a green piece of paper and tells Mr. Frank what to write on it. Mr. Frank then pulls out a roll of greenbacks and gives the protagonist $200 to buy a watchman for his wife. The protagonist then goes down to the basement and takes a lot of trash and burns the package in front of the furnace.
The protagonist is afraid to go down there by himself and Mr. Frank won't go down there with him. The most important details in this text are that Mr. Frank is a wealthy man in Brooklyn, and that the narrator is coming to get his money. He is going home to get dinner and will be back in about 40 minutes to fix the money. The narrator then goes to the beer saloon across the street and takes out two paper dollar bills and two silver quarters. He then buys a double header and drinks it.
The narrator then looks around at another colored fellow standing there and asks him if he wants a glass of beer. He says no. The most important details in this text are that the narrator was arrested on Thursday, May 1 and given tablets to write down what kind of boxes they had. Mr. Frank told the narrator what to write on the notes, and the girl's body was lying somewhere along number nine on the picture. The narrator dropped her somewhere along number seven and took an elevator on the second floor.
The box that Mr. Frank unlocked was right around the side of the elevator. The narrator was arrested on Thursday, May 1 and given tablets to write down what kind of boxes they had. Mr. Frank told the narrator what to write on the notes, and the girl's body was lying somewhere along number nine on the picture.
The most important details in this text are that the narrator was told to come back in about 40 minutes to do the burning, and that Mr. Frank went in the office and got the key to unlock the elevator. The notes were fixed up in Mr. Frank's private office, and the narrator never knew what happened to them. On Thanksgiving Day, the narrator saw a tall built lady in Mr. Frank's office, who had on a blue dress with white dots on it and a graying coat with kind of tails to it. On Thanksgiving Day, the narrator refused to write for the police the first time. Defense attorney Rosser spent three days attacking Conley's testimony, and Conley admitted to a number of arrests that had resulted in fines of nominal amounts for drunkenness or disorderly conduct and one sentence of 30 days for an altercation with a white man.
Rosser was able to show that Conley had a poor memory about everything except the murder and was repeatedly denounced by those who knew him as dirty, filthy, black, drunken, lying The most important details in this text are that Jim Conley, a native Mariettan reporter and journalist who covered the trial for the Atlanta Georgian, claimed it would have been impossible for Conley to fabricate the detailed account of what had happened and withstood the hours of cross examination. Conley may be telling the truth in the main, or he may be lying altogether, but he is one of the most remarkable Negroes that has ever been seen in this section of the country. As hour by hour the attorneys for the defense failed to entrap the Negro, the enormity of the evidence became apparent. Finally, the defense admitted that they had failed to entrap the Negro and asked that the evidence be stricken from the records. The Negro withstood the fire and Frank's attorneys are seeking to have the evidence expunged from the records.
The most important details in this text are that one state witness, Holloway, testified that he forgot to lock the elevator on Saturday when he left at 1145. He admitted that he had previously sworn twice that he did leave the elevator locked once in the affidavit he gave to Solicitor General Dorsey End. At the coroner's inquest, he stated that Frank got back from Montagues at about 11:00 and was in his office on the books. When he was leaving at 1145, he saw Corinthia Hall and Emma Clark coming towards the factory. He had seen blood spots on the floor, but he did not remember having seen the blood spots Barrett found.
He also said that cords like that used to strangle Mary Phagan could be found all over the place. He explained that he saw it a plank for Mr. Denham and Mr. White on the fourth floor and forgot about it when he remembered that he had forgotten to lock the elevator. Despite these few inconsistencies, he was forced to conclude that his family's evaluation of Leo Frank's culpability was accurate at that particular time. But he therefore shifted his focus to the defense's argument and made a pledge to himself to be fair in his evaluation of the facts.
The most important details in this text are the sentencing and aftermath of Leo Frank's trial. Judge Roan secretly brought Frank and the other principals together in the courtroom for the formal sentencing. The sentence read, "Leo M. Frank be taken from the bar of this court to the common jail of the county of Fulton and be safely there kept until his final execution in the manner fixed by law." On the 10th day of October 1913, the defendant was executed by the sheriff of Fulton County in private, witnessed only by the executing officer, a sufficient guard the relatives of such defendant and such clergyman and friends as he may desire, and that the defendant, between the hours of 10:00 A.m. and 02:00 p.m., be by the sheriff of Fulton County hanged by the neck until he shall be dead and may God have mercy on his soul." The trial had been the longest and most expensive trial in Georgia history, with the stenographic record being 1,080,060 words. The state star witness, Jim Conley, had been on the witness stand longer than any other witness in state history Judge Roan was Rosser's senior law partner from 1883 to 1886. The temper of the public mind was such that it invaded the courtroom and made itself manifest at every turn the jury made. This prejudice rendered any other verdict impossible. Frank's lawyers began to prepare their appeal immediately after the sentencing, including affidavits about the alleged prejudice towards Leo Frank of two members of the jury, A. H. Hensley and M. Johanning. The family of H. C. Lovenhard swore that on meeting Marcellus Johenning on the street before the trial he had told them, "I know he is guilty". Other points raised included the jurors being influenced by the crowd's demonstrations outside the courtroom and that the evidence did not support the verdict. Solicitor General Dorsey argued that the trial had been fair and countered with affidavits from eleven jurors who swore they did not hear or see demonstrations from crowds outside the courtroom. Both jurors who had been deemed prejudiced by the defense denied the charges. Rosser and Arnold made a final plea to Judge Roan, who denied the defense's motion for a new trial. The ruling was affirmed by the Georgia Supreme Court on February 17, 1914. Two judges, Beck and Fish, dissented on the question of admissibility of Jim Conley's testimony as to Frank's sexual perversion, but did not find the evidence in question sufficient cause to alter the guilty verdict. Not long after the Georgia Supreme Court decision, the Atlanta Journal reported that the state biologist who examined the body of Mary Phagan had concluded that the hair found on the lathe which the prosecution had cited as a major factor in its case, was not Mary Phagan's. The biologist told Solicitor General Dorsey that he did not depend on the biologist's testimony, as other witnesses in the case swore that the hair was that of Mary Phagan. The most important details in this text are that several prosecution witnesses retracted their original testimony, including Albert McKnight, Mrs. Nina Formby, George Epps, Jr., and Mary Phagan. Other witnesses conveyed that they had invented or lied about evidence due to the pressure brought by police detectives and solicitor Dorsey. In addition, the defense lawyers restudied the case, including Henry Alexander, who studied the murder notes allegedly written by Conley at Frank's direction, which were written on old carbon pads and had a dateline of September 19.
Mr. Alexander alleged that the words "night witch" in the note beside Mary Phagan's body, which had been interpreted to mean night watch or watchman by those who believed the notes had been written under the direction of a white man, actually referred to a negro folktale. On March 7, 1914, Frank was resentenced to die. A stay of execution was obtained on an extraordinary motion for a new trial based on newly found evidence. Three witnesses said the state's star witness, Jim Conley, was the killer. Annie Maud Carter in New Orleans said Conley told her he had called Mary Phagan over as she left Frank's office with her pay envelope, hit her over the head, and pushed her over a scuttle hole in the back of the building.
The most important details in this text are that Annie Maud Carter gave the Burns Agency some love letters from Conley which the Constitution said were so vile and vulgar that they couldn't be published in the newspaper. The defense contended that these love letters showed that Conley had perverted passion and lust. A black prisoner named Freeman told his story to the prison doctor, who reported that Conley was the killer. Conley's court appointed attorney, William Smith, thought Frank was innocent and made a public statement on October 2,114, saying that Conley's testimony was a cunning fabrication. This extraordinary revelation, which went against the lawyer client confidentiality privilege, was extolled by those who believed in Frank's innocence and castigated as being caused by bribery by those who believed him guilty.
William Smith revealed no new facts to support his beliefs, but instead tried to show how the already known facts had been misinterpreted due to Conley's lies. It has been said that Jim Conley confessed to William Smith, and a confession statement allegedly by Conley has been published in For One confessions of a Criminal Lawyer by Alan Lumpkin Henson. However, Walter Smith, William Smith's son, denied the authenticity of Conley's "confession", but brought to light facts which had been previously undisclosed regarding William Smith's relationship to his client. William Smith was reputed to be a very conscientious and ethical lawyer, and his prime obligation was to his client. He had been appointed to defend Conley by the court and he worked very closely with the prosecutor, Hugh Dorsey.
Smith believed in Frank's guilt and coached Jim Conley in how to react in the courtroom. He acted out the style and gyrations of Luther Rosser to Conley so well that when the actual trial was in session, Conley was not rattled in the least. Smith went to great lengths to defend Conley and to dig up facts against Frank. At some point in the course of the trial, Smith began to doubt that his client had been telling the truth and tried to get him the lightest sentence possible. Conley was convicted as an accessory to the fact and sentenced to one year on the chain gang. Smith felt morally and legally free to do some investigating and probing on his own.
William Smith believed that Leo Frank was innocent and that he himself was responsible for his conviction. He launched a thorough investigation which convinced him that Frank was innocent and that Conley was guilty. He went to Governor Slayton with his conclusions and his story was important in helping Slayton reach the decision to commute Frank's sentence. Smith's life was threatened and he and his family were forced to leave Georgia. In the last years of his life, Smith's vocal cords were paralyzed and he carried a pad of paper on which to write messages in the hospital room.
On May 8, 1914, superior court Judge Ben H.Hill denied the defense motion for a new trial, which was affirmed unanimously by the Georgia Supreme Court. Jewish organizations and groups raised the issue of religious prejudice before Leo Frank's trial ended. The appeals for funds for Leo Frank's defense were made through mailing, circulars and newspaper advertisements throughout the country and particularly in the north. This resulted in a virtual reenactment of the Civil War between Northern and southern newspapers, which increased in intensity as the trial progressed. The New York Times and Colliers Weekly called for a new trial, mass rallies were held in United States cities, and thousands of letters, petitions and telegrams were sent to Governor Slayton and soon to be Governor Nat Harris.
However, the conviction of Frank became an article of faith for Southerners and the belief in Frank's innocence became the litmus test in the Jewish community of Atlanta for antisemitism. On March 10, 1914, the Atlanta Journal editorially called for a new trial, saying that if Frank is found guilty after a fair trial, he should be hanged and his death without a fair trial and legal conviction will amount to judicial murder. The most important details in this text are that the court, lawyers, and jury were not able to decide impartially and without fear the guilt or innocence of an accused man. The atmosphere of the courtroom was charged with an electric current of indignation, and the streets were filled with an angry, determined crowd ready to seize the defendant if the jury had found him not guilty. When the jury returned the guilty verdict, Frank was not in the courtroom, but at the Fulton Tower.
Cheers for the prosecuting counsel were irrepressible in the courtroom throughout the trial, and on the streets, unseemly demonstrations and condemnation of Frank were heard by the judge and jury. The judge was powerless to prevent these outbursts in the courtroom and the police were unable to control the crowd outside. The Fifth Regiment of the National Guard was kept under arms throughout the night, ready to rush on a moment's warning to the protection of the defendant. The press of the city united in an earnest request to the presiding judge to not permit the verdict of the jury to be received on Saturday, as it was known that a verdict of acquittal would cause a riot. Frank was tried and convicted, but the evidence on which he was convicted is not clear.
The outbursts in the courtroom and the police were unable to control the crowds outside were events that all three newspapers had not printed during the trial. The Journal remained quiet about these events for a year.
The Atlanta Georgian, which was silent during the trial, later called for a new trial. Tom Watson, who had been defeated for vice president of the United States on the populace ticket in 1896, immediately launched a scathing attack against those criticizing the results of the Frank case. He referred to Frank as being a Jew pervert and said he denied justice to the family of a poor factory girl. Burns offered a $1000 reward to anyone who could provide evidence that Frank was a sexual pervert, but no one came forward. Burns also brought forth evidence given to him by the reverend C.B.Ragsdale, pastor of the Atlanta Baptist Church, who told the story of overhearing two black men, one of whom confessed to killing a little girl at the factory the other day. Later, Ragsdale repudiated his statement. A Burns operative, Mr. Toby, had been retained by members of the Phagan family and their neighbors to investigate the murder and discover the murderer. After several weeks of investigating, Toby resigned and announced that he had concluded that Frank was the guilty party. Dorsey alleged that Burns tried to bribe witnesses to give false testimony.
The hearing on extraordinary motion for a new trial was based on the absence of Frank at the reception of the verdict. On December 7, 1914, a writ of error was taken to the United States Supreme Court and was denied. Frank was sentenced to be hanged on January 22, 1915. Frank's attorneys then filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus to the United States Supreme Court on April 19, 1915. The two justices who dissented were Oliver Wendell Holmes and Charles Evans Hughes.
They dissented on the basis that a lower court hearing should have been held to determine the validity of the defense. The most important details in this text are that Governor John Slayton was the only hope left for Frank, and his attorneys appealed to him for a commutation of his sentence from hanging to life imprisonment. Slayton referred this request to the state Prison Commission and asked them to pass their recommendation to the governor. Meanwhile, Frank's attorneys filed an appeal for a clemency hearing before the three man Georgia Prison Commission. The hearing date was scheduled for May 31, 1915.
On May 31, 1915, out of state and in state delegations appeared to plead for Frank's life. They had submitted voluminous documents to convince the commission an error had been made, including a letter by presiding Judge Leonard Roan written shortly before his death on March 23, 1915. Some members of Roan's family doubted the authenticity of the letter for years, but Dr. Wallace E. Brown, owner of the Berkshire Hills Sanatorium, attested to Roan's rational mental state. Brown also stated that he has been a resident of North Adams, Massachusetts, practically all his life, and is now serving his third term as mayor of the city of North Adams.
On Sunday, November 20, 1914, Judge L.S. Roan of Atlanta, Georgia dictated a letter to Mrs. Wallace E.Brown of North Adams, Massachusetts, asking for executive clemency in the punishment of Leo M. Frank. The letter was written by Judge Roan of Atlanta, Georgia, to Mrs. Wallace E.Brown, who was then Miss Jane Deity. The letter expressed the deponent's uncertainty of Frank's guilt due to the character of the Negro Conley's testimony. The letter also stated that the chief magistrate of the state should exert every effort in ascertaining the truth, and that the execution of any person whose guilt has not been satisfactorily proven to the constituted authorities is too horrible to contemplate. The deponent heard Judge Roan dictate the letter before copied and saw him read and sign the name.
Judge Roan had stated to Deponent that he was not convinced of Frank's guilt and that if executive clemency were asked for Frank, he intended to recommend commutation. The next morning, some 50 determined looking men from Cobb County marched into the Prison Commission office and demanded the hearing be reopened. They included former governor Joseph M. Brown and Herbert Clay, solicitor of the Blue Ridge Circuit. Clay spoke for hours against Commutation arguing that Georgia would be dishonored for all time if Frank were spared for his alleged abominable crime. The commission reopened the hearing and the commissioners listened intently and said nothing.
At the end of the reopening, they issued a statement that they would offer their recommendation to Governor Slayton in a week by a two to one vote. On June 1915, the commissioners refused to recommend commutation to Governor Slayton, leaving it up to the governor.

Zionist soldier addressing the students;
Come to war or comfort the families of fallen soldiers!
🔹 The Israeli soldier, attending the classrooms, asks the students to register in the army, because they have caused a lot of casualties.
He said:
"We have lost 1,300 soldiers so far, one soldier dies every five minutes.
Some of you should go to war and some of you should comfort the families of the fallen soldiers.
The situation of the Zionist army is much worse than what their media shows.
A Ukrainian Man Screams at a Boy Who Washes Cars Trying to Help His Mom Save up Money so They Can Mo
A Ukrainian man screams at a boy who washes cars trying to help his mom save up money so they can move to Russia.
NEW - Nuland on Ukraine: "And by the way, we have to remember that the bulk of this money is going right back into the U.S. economy to make those weapons."
CIA veteran Philip Agee honestly admitted that no one in the CIA cares about democracy.
If a country had an elected government and cooperated with the United States, then this, of course, is good. But if it didn't, then democracy meant nothing, and Agee thinks it's unlikely that democracy means anything today.

Soros protest piece unveiled outside billionaire’s nonprofit’s HQ in NYC
Artist Scott LoBaido chose the street outside George Soros’ Open Society Foundation to unveil a not-so-G-rated painting depicting the billionaire suckling his son, who is burning the American flag.
"You get raped, you get murdered; you know why? Because George Soros is funding these f*cking jerk-offs," LoBaido ranted.
LoBaido is well known for his patriotic artistry, with pieces that have depicted Nancy Pelosi tearing up the US Constitution, and a sculpture of the infamous “Let’s Go Brandon” chant.
*The video contains some choice language, and the art may be considered confronting by some.

Mmmm
Israel is run by satanic elites who love to mass slaughter unarmed, men, women and babies, while lying it has something to do with Hamas ( one of Israel’s creation’s, along with ISIS, used to justify war against its target nations to steal land and resources and ethic cleansing without having to call it that
So any Christian thinking it’s a holy war and supporting Israel are Gods biggest failures
You can’t be a true Christian and support the satanic Israel regime -

A hospital medical coder who goes only by "Zoe" for this interview describes for Children's Health Defense the horrors she witnessed following the rollout of the COVID injections
I didn't know it was possible for a human to die so horrifically, so quickly, before they rolled out the mRNA injections...It was insane, I've never seen anything like that. The worst of them, they called it sepsis, but it was like instant multi-organ failure. Like, within hours patients would die of liver, lung, kidney... failure [all at once]..." Zoe tells CHD.

Alex Jones comments:
“Odds are 90% in my mind that this guy works for the ADL or SPLC. This needs to be investigated. There is a 100% chance that the deep state is trying to trigger a race war ahead of the election in the next 185 days. America needs to come together.”
I’m on my way home now.
Thank you so much to all of the incredible Australians who made this such a successful trip.
I think a few hundred thousand conversations must have been started. More than 30 million impressions were generated just from my account.
Special thank you to the various politicians I met with, and to the TV and print media who interviewed me about the scandal of child transition.
One conversation at a time, we are going to end this child abuse!
One of the last remaining French pacific territories New Caledonia resembles a war zone right now.
The French Government is using it's army to quash indigenous locals who are rising up against the colonisers.
Authorities also decided to ban social media app TikTok, which the government during a bout of riots on France's mainland last summer claimed helped rioters organise and amplified the chaos, attracting protestors to the streets.
France exploits the mineral-rich island, which lies in the southwest Pacific, some 1,500 km (930 miles) east of Australia.
France annexed the island in 1853 and gave the colony the status of overseas territory in 1946. It has long been rocked by pro-independence movements.
New Caledonia is the world's No. 3 nickel miner but profits go back to France leaving, one in five locals living under the poverty threshold.
