The Leo Frank Case: Chapter 20 Of 22 - Inside Story of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery

⁣⁣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.

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.

⁣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.

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.
