Was the janitor or the superintendent the murderer? At this point in the story we hear Leo Frank testify in front of the Grand Jury. Already there are inconsistencies. He knew Mary Phagan, he didn’t know Mary Phagan. He knew her employee number, he didn’t know her employee number. He heard her footsteps receding even though she was wearing soft soled shoes. His in-laws backed up his story, an employee changed his story. Some employees say he was inappropriate with the young girls, others say his conduct was unimpeachable. Listen and decide for yourself. This audiobook has 21 chapters which I am bringing to life with the use of historical photographs and Photoshop.

In commemoration of the 110th anniversary of the death of Mary Phagan I have completed the illustrations for Chapter 7 of The Leo Frank Case, Inside Story of Atlanta’s Greatest Murder Mystery.Atlanta newspapers followed the murder of Mary Phagan on April 26, 1913 very closely. There were other deaths at the time, but this story captured the imaginations of the people of Atlanta. Extra after extra kept the people informed as the events unfolded. This chapter describes the first two days of the inquest with highlights from the newspapers and the testimony of locat witnesses. Some witnesses reported seeing Mary outside the pencil factory after the determined time of death. This case has many twists and turns and the audiobook presents many of them. The author has a nonjudgemental style and describes much of what went on in vivid detail. The illustrations are created with imagination, historical photos and newspaper accounts to bring the story to life.

In this chapter of the Leo Frank Case, a book written anonymously in 1913, the courts are getting ready to prosecute someone. Four days have passed since the brutal murder of a 13 year old factory worker at the National Pencil Company in Atlanta, Georgia. Police have worked quickly to gather enough evidence for the inquest. Five men were arrested. The suspects were James Gantt (disgruntled worker), Arthur Mullinax (trolley driver), Leo Frank (factory superintendent), Newt Lee (night watchman) and James Conley (janitor at the National Pencil Company).

1913 was a time of transition for our country with horses and automobiles sharing the streets. A murder mystery focused attention away from the disruptions in daily life to a puzzle, whose solution wasn’t immediately gleaned. The complexities of the Mary Phagan murder case were apparent from the beginning. The newspapers took advantage of the controversy to get the public hooked on the story. Extra after extra were published to keep the public informed. Rumors abounded. Speculation was rife. The Leo Frank Case was a book, published anonymously in 1913, relaying the facts. Margaret Huffstickler created the voiceover to bring this story to you.The images are brought to life with newspaper clippings from the time, available photographs and Photoshopped recreations.#Atlanta#leofrank#maryphagan#truecrime#murder

This chapter is focused on the emotions of Mary Phagan’s mother as she gradually learns that her daughter is never coming home again. She received confirmation of her worst fears in the morning of April 27, 1913. The family attended the funeral in Marietta, Georgia and mourned the crime that cut short the life of a young National Pencil Company factory worker. The state solicitor stepped in to order an exhumation of the body to ensure that he has the evidence he needs for a conviction.

Chapter 3 of the Frank Case takes us from the announcement of the murder to the morgue for identification (listen to the story to find out who did the identification) to the revelation by Leo Frank that he did remember details about Mary Phagan (although he initially denied knowing her). The police arrest Newt Lee, the night watchman who found the body, as an initial suspect. Leo, as the superintendent of the factory where the body was found, stays with the police as they begin to uncover the facts of the case.

The Atlanta police received a shaky phone call from the night watchman at the National Pencil company at 3 in the morning on April 27, 1913. He found the body of a young factory worker who was molested and mutilated and dumped in the basement.

In Chapter 5 of the Leo Frank Case, written anonymously in 1913, Atlanta is beginning to become aware of the heinous crime inflicted upon the body of a 13 year old factory girl. The city became fascinated and extra after extra was printed to keep the citizens informed. There were other murders and events at the time, but the murder of Mary Phagan took precedence. The reasons were clear. This case had many facets, including bribery, planting evidence, conflicting witness testimony, the start of the ADL, the reinvigoration of the KKK and much, much more. I illustrate the scenes with actual images of the times and photoshopped imaginations of what a scene might have looked like. Whenever possible I use actual people and places. I hope you are as intrigued by this case as I am.
