The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 20 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Twenty
The Leo Frank case is a mystery due to the discovery of a series of "death notes" that were written next to the body of 13-year-old Mary Phagan. The notes appear to be written by Mary while she was being assaulted, but they are written in an approximation of African-American vernacular and a semi-literate style that Mary would have been unlikely to use. The question remains whether these notes were written by a Black killer, created by a clever killer to make investigators think the murderer was a Black man, or if they were dictated by the killer to a compliant Black man to write. Only two of the notes were ever found.
In this, the twentieth audio segment of this ground-breaking work originally published by the Nation of Islam, part of their series called The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, we also learn that the latter scenario — with Leo Frank dictating the notes to James Conley — is exactly what Conley said actually happened. Much has been made by Frank partisans of the fact that Conley’s language on the stand more or less matched the style and usage of the notes, claiming that this rules out Frank having dictated them. But that claim has little merit, for it seems very unlikely that Frank would want to dictate the notes word for word: Allowing Conley to put them in his own words and style would have served Frank’s purpose much better. We’ll also learn of the glaring weaknesses of Frank’s other alibis, many of which appear to have been hastily and sloppily cobbled together at the last minute.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 15 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Fifteen
Leo Frank's lynching is often blamed on a mob, but the alleged group, the "Knights of Mary Phagan," likely never existed. The audio segment from The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, published by the Nation of Islam, reveals that the mob likely consisted of leading community citizens and two Superior Court judges.
In the 15th audio installment of the groundbreaking work first published by the Nation of Islam and part of a series titled "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews," we also look at Atlanta's B'nai B. We know this is the mob that supposedly lynched President Frank. The so-called "Mary Fagan Articles" probably never existed.

The lynching excited some contemporary calls for investigation and prosecution, but little was done and no one was ever charged. Surprisingly, the Jewish community was almost silent on the subject.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 14 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Fourteen
The alleged anti-Jewish atmosphere at Leo Frank's trial is questioned, as Mrs. Frank's provocation of Prosecutor Dorsey, a "Gentile dog," was met with no consequences. Despite this, Jewish businessmen in Atlanta continued to prosper, and Mrs. Frank was in court the next day without any reprisals or threats. No special precautions were taken by the Jewish community.
The audio segment of The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews explores the allegations of an anti-Jewish and anti-Frank "mob atmosphere" at Leo Frank's trial. It questions how Mrs. Frank managed to call Prosecutor Dorsey a "Gentile dog" in open court without facing any consequences. The audio also discusses the corrupt actions of Governor John Marshall Slaton, who allegedly commuted Frank's death sentence to life in prison and was made a partner in Frank's law firm, a move considered unethical by mainstream accounts. The audio presentation also provides further insights into the case.
This new audio book, based on the Nation of Islam’s The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, the best investigative effort made on the Leo Frank case in the last 100 years, will take you on a trip into the past — to the greatest American murder mystery of all time; a mystery that will reveal to you the hidden forces that shape our world even today.
In this, the fourteenth audio segment of this ground-breaking work originally published by the Nation of Islam, part of their series called The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, we also learn of the almost incredibly corrupt acts of Governor John Marshall Slaton, usually portrayed as a hero in biased “mainstream” accounts of the case. It was Slaton who made a deal to commute Frank’s death sentence to life in prison — and it was also Slaton who was quietly made a partner in the law firm defending Leo Frank, just a few weeks after Frank was indicted for murdering Mary Phagan. Thus Slaton was literally commuting the death sentence of his own client, an egregiously unethical act. And there’s much more to learn in this audio presentation, too.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 18 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Eighteen
It gets more media attention: the singular example of the lynched lone Jew, Leo Frank (justly convicted of sexually assaulting a girl), or the hundreds of black men lynched around him. In those days in the South, we often received baseless and unsubstantiated accusations of "verbal abuse" or "wage disputes" without even seeing cases in court? While a Jewish lynching was the most publicized case of the 20th and 21st centuries, you can bet that hundreds of black lynching victims got nothing. This tells us a lot about the modern average of America and about real energy epidemiology. (Photo: In January 1916, Lynch Lynch, Georgia, Georgia, based on real image)
The Nation of Islam's eighteenth audio segment, "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews," highlights the disregard for the legal and civil rights of Black people in Georgia's courts during the time of Leo Frank's murder. It highlights the difficulty in obtaining even basic legal representation for Black individuals, compared to the legal defense and investigative teams of the Jewish community, supported by major newspapers and publishing houses.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 17 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Seventeen
Leo Frank, portrayed as innocent one can be, happened to be a propaganda tool for the Jewish establishment. However, Jewish leadership realized that the real Frank, with potential new trials, could be a disaster for Jewish interests. Albert Lasker, a Jewish advertising expert, described Frank as a sexual pervert, despite his efforts for Frank.
In this, the seventeenth audio segment of this ground-breaking work originally published by the Nation of Islam, part of their series called The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, we also learn that the claim that Jews fled Atlanta (in some accounts, fled the South generally) in large numbers is an utter falsehood. Jews greatly increased their presence in Atlanta and the South during the period of Leo Frank’s trial, appeals, lynching, and aftermath.
As a result, the 17th audio division of this state-of-the-art work learned that the Jews, who were initially part of the series, which were initially appointed a secret relationship between black and Jews published by the Nation of Islam, fled from Atlanta. In general, south) is a series of lies. During Leo Frank's trial, appeal, lynching, and aftermath, the Jewish presence in Atlanta and the South grew significantly.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 8 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Eight
The Leo Frank case, which never mentioned the word "Jew" until it was brought up by the defense, has been criticized for being motivated by "anti-Semitism" by pro-Frank partisans. However, the book, published by the Nation of Islam, reveals that Frank himself denied that anti-Jewish feelings played any part in his arrest and trial. The book also discusses the mysterious entry of prominent Atlanta lawyer "Colonel" Thomas B. Felder into the case. Felder, who tried to present himself as a public-spirited attorney, was caught trying to bribe police officials to obtain original documents related to the case. When the Phagan family denied any connection with him, he proclaimed his belief in Frank's guilt and claimed that "Jew money" was causing the authorities to "shield Frank." Despite his strident attacks on Frank after he was discredited, the evidence is strong that Felder was actually in Frank's employ.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 10 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Ten
The "Hang the Jew" hoax, which claimed anti-Semitic mobs surrounded the 1913 Atlanta murder trial of Leo Frank, has been disproven and proven unsupported by facts. The hoax has been manipulated by academics, writers, and journalists over the years, with some even suggesting that the mobs were inflamed by Tom Watson's anti-Jewish rhetoric. This is a testament to the incompetence and deception of both Jewish and non-Jewish leaders in the American media, educational, and cultural establishment.
In the tenth audio segment of the Nation of Islam's series called The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, evidence is presented that Jews in the South were accepted as a welcomed and elite part of the white community, and that they supported the supremacist racial hierarchy system. Their attitude towards black people, the real persecuted minority, was different from how Jewish organizations portray it today. Jews supported a system where black men and women lived in fear of losing their lives for any infraction. Leo Frank himself even stated that black people had "no value."

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 9 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Nine
Jewish writers have made claims about the "atmosphere of anti-Semitism" during the trial of B'nai B'rith official Leo Frank for the strangulation sex murder of his 13-year-old employee, Mary Phagan, in 1913 Atlanta. They claim that anti-Semitic mobs were present on the streets, threatening the judge and jury, and even Jew-haters with rifles stood almost on the window sills during the trial. However, contemporary accounts from Atlanta's three daily newspapers, the Constitution, the Journal, and the Georgian, do not report any such outrages, despite taking a generally pro-Frank tone throughout the trial. Despite employing Jewish editors, Leo Frank and his defense team praised the newspaper coverage they received. All contemporary accounts show that the trial proceeded with dignity, fairness, proper procedure, and decent composure throughout. The judge wouldn't even tolerate applause when the court was in session.
A view and diagram of the courthouse and the crowd outside, published in the August 3, 1913 issue of the Atlanta Journal, gives the lie to the claims of pro-Frank writers. The crowd is described as patiently waiting for spectators to depart so they too could get a seat in the courtroom, and they are lined up at the court's entrance, nowhere near the windows.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 12 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Twelve
Leo Frank, from a prominent witness against him by the name of James Conley, faced harsh racial attacks and epithets during his trial for murdering a 13-year-old girl. Jewish advertising executive Albert Lasker and his "fake news" allies in the media, such as the New York Times' Jewish publisher Adolph Ochs, waged an extensive nationwide publicity campaign against Frank. The campaign ultimately failed, leading to increased dislike and resentment of powerful Jews for their interference in Georgia's legal process of punishing a sex killer. Lasker, a top advertising man known for his campaign that convinced millions of American women to start smoking cigarettes, had a strong dislike for Frank and suspected him of being a sex pervert, as prosecution witnesses had said. Despite this, Lasker carried out his pro-Frank propaganda duties for the Jewish community. The twelfth audio segment of The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, originally published by the Nation of Islam, provides a deeper understanding of the campaign's failure and the impact of the campaign on the Jewish community.
In this 12th audio segment of a groundbreaking work originally published by the Nation of Islam, part of a series titled "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews," we learn how that campaign ultimately led, according to its leader, Lasker. if it failed. – and ultimately fueled the disgust and anger of powerful Jews who unduly interfered in Georgia's actual legal process for punishing sex murderers. We also learn that Lasker himself, one of America's most famous advertising men, famous for his campaign to persuade millions of American women to smoke cigarettes, disliked Frank very much and, according to prosecution witnesses, suspected him that they would have a sexual relationship, but still carried out its mission of pro-Frank propaganda against the Jewish community.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 11 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Eleven
The pro-Leo Frank narrative relies on the claim that Prosecutor Hugh Dorsey fabricated James Conley's story and coached him to deliver it skillfully on the witness stand. If Conley's story was not fiction, it must be true and Leo Frank must be guilty. The "coaching" allegation is untenable, as it includes checkable facts such as people Dorsey and Conley met on the street, the one-hour time discrepancy between Conley's version of Emma Clark and Corinthia Hall's visit, and other items that were unnecessary to establish Frank's guilt. This week's audio book section will explore the untenability of this claim.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 6 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Six
Leo Frank's partisans have attempted to discredit Jim Conley's testimony by pointing out that his account of Corinthia Hall and Emma Clark's visit to the pencil factory where the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan took place was off by more than an hour. However, Conley never stated that he saw the two young women at all, but was merely told that they were there by Leo Frank. This raises the question of whether Frank was making preparations for murdering Conley, the only man on Earth who knew about Mary Phagan's murder. In the sixth audio segment of the Nation of Islam's series called The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, Conley's words and the testimony of many girls and women who were witnesses to Frank's sexual behavior are heard. Leo Frank's lead attorney, Luther Z. Rosser, was unable to break Conley's story of a panicked Leo Frank employing him to move Mary Phagan's body and write deceptive "death notes."

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 5 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Five
Jim Conley's testimony in the Leo Frank case was a significant event in the history of the American South. Despite being a member of a disparaged minority, Conley's words were respected and even believed over the words of Leo Frank, an elite Jewish man considered white by the standards of the American South. This was unprecedented but inevitable due to the detail, plausibility, and unshakable nature of Conley's evidence. Even the best legal minds in the state, led by Luther Rosser, could not discredit the "ignorant" Black man, no matter how hard they tried. In this audio segment, the Nation of Islam published by the Nation of Islam, the fifth audio segment of their series called The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, hear Conley's words as he actually spoke them on the stand as the all-White 1913 jury leaned forward and strained to hear. The Black man, who admitted helping Leo Frank move Mary Phagan's body but ultimately failed to return and destroy it as Leo Frank wished, set in motion a chain of events that led to the solution of the mystery and a guilty verdict in the case.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 7 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Seven
In 1913 Atlanta, the Leo Frank defense team used the "race card" to unjustly attack prosecution witness James Conley, a black man, and characterize the sex killing of Mary Phagan as a "Negro crime" for which Leo Frank, president of the Atlanta B'nai B'rith, would be "incapable." The defense promoted the idea of a separate category of testimony called "Negro testimony," which jurors should ignore or regard as false. However, the race-baiting strategy failed, and the all-white jury believed the black man.
Leo Frank's own statement to the court, which is not considered testimony, was made under Georgia law at the time. Under Georgia law, defendants had the right to make an unsworn statement and deny the prosecution the right to cross-examine them on it. Frank spoke for hours on end, mainly telling the jury about the intricacies of managing the accounts of the pencil factory where he was superintendent. This was done to give the impression that he would have been so busy with his books on that fatal day that he would not have had time to commit the murder and move the body to the basement. The race-baiting strategy ultimately failed, and the all-white jury believed the black man.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 4 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Four
Leo Frank was initially arrested for the murder of Mary Phagan, but his defense team focused on Newt Lee, the Black night watchman who discovered the body. They ignored the sighting of Jim Conley, a factory sweeper who later was shown to be Frank's accessory after the fact. This omission lends considerable credence to the prosecution theory, backed up by Conley's own testimony, that Conley helped Frank move the body. In the fourth audio segment of the Nation of Islam's book, the Frank team "discovered" Jim Conley and tried to blame him for the crime. Frank even attempted to take credit for alerting investigators to Conley's writing abilities, though the testimony of all detectives, including those hired by Frank, was that Frank had nothing to do with that discovery.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 1 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part 1
Leo Frank - Introduction to the Secret Relationships series.
"We have no documented evidence of anti-Semitism from the Nation of Islam or Elijah Muhammad." - Arnold Foster - Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.
In 1991, Minister Lewis Farrakhan, national representative of the Nation of Islam, released the first volume of a scholarly series titled "The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews." The book reveals that Jews were at the center of the transatlantic slave trade and played a significant role in maintaining black slavery. The research confirms that after the emancipation of black slaves, Jews helped create and defend the racially oppressive Jim Crow system in the American South and were among the leading traders in America's cotton economy. The third volume, "The Leo Frank Case," examines a tragic incident in Atlanta, Georgia between 1913 and 1915 involving B'nai B'rit leader and factory manager Leo Max Frank. The case became an international cause celebre for Jews, who believed Frank was the victim of antisemitism. The Leo Frank case is considered a pivotal point in black history, when the Jews' history of slave trading, ownership of cotton, sugar, and tobacco plantations, Ku Klux Klan terrorism, and Jim Crow apartheid was deliberately replaced with a new narrative of shared persecution, civil rights coalition, and political common cause. The case offers a unique window into the thinking and strategizing by the Jewish leadership, and Jews demand that the outside world investigate it to draw an accurate portrait of American Jewish identity and how they have suffered and overcome racial and religious persecution.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 3 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part Three
In the aftermath of Mary Phagan's murder, both Newt Lee and Leo Frank were held in separate cells at Atlanta Police Headquarters. The case was rife with explosive racial dynamics, including Leo Frank's claim that "blacks" were responsible. Despite no trace of anti-Semitism at the outset, the Anti-Defamation League's teacher's guide to the recent Phagan murder claims that no single article or editorial hinted at such a thing. A month after his murder, Georgian editors found Leo Frank's positive exoneration. No fingerprints on the girl's body or clothing were identified as belonging to him. A search by detectives implicating him in the crime turned up nothing. Police, as far as is known, have identified Frank.
The biggest victim of negative and racist pre-trial propaganda was Newt Lee, who was publicly threatened with death in newspaper headlines. The constitutional clause reads, "Your loyalty or [your] neck." In the same article, printed three days after the murder, Lee's race was mentioned nine times. An analysis published in Forum magazine in 1916 reminds us that the "newscopy" associated with it ended up in Jewish hands. No one, surplus cop or not, lost sight of the fact that the little girl was dead and Frank was the last man known to have seen Mary Phagan alive.
A series of circumstantial evidence of time, motive, opportunity, and physical evidence made Frank's conviction more likely, if not simpler. The jury must consider the prosecution's scenario and whether alternative theories are plausible. The state's case against Leo Frank was based on good evidence, but there was one unusual feature that put this indictment in a class of its own: the white male defendant was a murderer who deserved death.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 2 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Two
Leo Frank, a Black employee, arrived at a factory on Forsyth Street and attended to routine paperwork. Mary Phagan had asked her friend Helen Ferguson to pick up the $1.20 due her on Friday, but Frank told her she had to come herself the next day. Frank was alone on the second floor when Mary Phagan arrived, and she was wound so tightly that it remained embedded in her neck. Frank summoned the factory's Black janitor James Conley and ordered him to help move the body to the basement. Conley and Frank carried Mary's body to the elevator and dragged it across the dirt floor to a final resting place near a trash pile by the furnace. Frank then ordered Conley to return later that day to burn the girl's remains in the basement furnace, promising him a cash reward and threatening to put the notes by the body. Frank left two cryptic notes next to the dead girl. Night watchman Newt Lee arrived at the factory to work his overnight shift, but Frank rushed from his office to inform him that he did not need him until 6:00 p.m. The police found the body, clothing, and face of Mary Phagan dirty, and arrested the Black night watchman, Newt Lee, James Gantt, Arthur Mullinax, and Gordon Bailey.
On the 105th anniversary of Mary Fagan's death, the American Mercury is proud to present Part 2 of the audio version of this very important book, read by Vanessa Neubauer.

The Leo Frank Case - 1913 Part 3 Chapters 17 Till The End Of The Book
Judge Roan reversed his decision Wednesday afternoon and announced he would expunge the record of Conley's testimony about past manipulation and behavior that reminded him of Frank. After filing a motion asking the audience to leave the courtroom, Attorney Arnold asked the judge to declare a mistrial when Judge Roan refused. After Dalton left the witness stand, Dr. F.H. Harris concluded his testimony Thursday morning before prosecutors took a break. The defense team immediately presented its case included many doctors such as Leroy Childs. Harris was just making an educated guess. The defense subpoenaed Pinkerton Detective Harry Scott Thursday to testify that Conley was coached before giving his statement to police.
Daisy Hopkins denied claims on Friday, the eighth day of the trial, that Dalton and James Conley visited the pencil factory with lewd intentions. On this day, the defense presented a cardboard copy of the pencil factory that was used to illustrate witness statements for the rest of the trial. Testimony of George Epps, W.M. Matthews and W.T. Hollis, the driver and conductor of the car in which the girl entered the city. In addition, civil engineer Albert Kaufman presented drawings of each floor of the pencil factory.
In the fourth week of the trial, the crowd outside the court grew louder, raising tensions throughout the city. Leo M. Frank, the most serious person directly involved in the incident, maintained an even expression and facial expression. The pressure didn't bother his mother and his wife. The defendant's millionaire uncle, Rabbi David Marks of an Atlanta synagogue, postponed a trip to Europe to console B'nai B'rith President Moses Frank. The fact that his friends stood by the young man when he needed it was the most notable aspect of the whole Frank affair. The references to the defendant and the evidence leading to the famous conclusion of the trial before the jury are the most important details of this story. Four prominent lawyers, including Luther Z. Rosser, made these observations. Reuben R. Arnold and Dorsey, attorneys. Four top lawyers believe Frank has the brains and mental strength to accomplish great things if trained in the right direction. According to Luther Z. Rosser, Frank was the more intelligent of the two and his report showed realism.
Although the suspect is not perfect, criminal defense attorney Reuben R. Arnold, he was a moral gentleman. States take positions based on Conley's comments and stand or fall on them. This is one of the most important parts of the text. Hugh M. Attorney Dorsey disagrees with the unprotected and marginalized working girls who blame him for his bad behavior. He thinks that this person has only fame and no other qualities. He only has authority. That person has no personality. He strangled Mary Phagan to protect his reputation. His blood is visible on his hands. Frank A. Hooper accused the defendants of being Dr. Jekyll abandoned his respectable exterior and descended into a lower social class, where he chose to associate with Dalton and others of similar character rather than those who they came to respect him. It has a good reputation. The factory was an ideal location for obscene and immoral people planning murders. Attorney Dorsey said Frank was driving the young girl on the Hapeville route the Saturday before the murder and tried to get her out of the car several times. One of the factory workers, Emily Mayfield, denied this testimony and said she never saw managers misbehaving with female workers.
On Saturday afternoon, the second week of the trial concluded with the testimony of Herbert Schiff, Frank Young's office assistant. Schiff said it was Frank's habit to prepare financial statements every Saturday afternoon and that the task could not be completed in less than two or three hours. The most important information in this article is from Dr. Willis Westmoreland, former chairman of the state board of health and T.H. Hancock, J.C. Dr. Olmsted, Dr. George Bachman, said that trying to determine the time of death from the state of the food in a corpse's stomach is nothing more than a doctor's gamble. On August 11, the defense attacked Dr. Lee again. Harris and they called several witnesses who swore they saw C.B. Dalton won't believe it. Time contacted Miss Hattie Hall to link the alibi to the Montauk Brothers stenographer and bookkeeper. He described how he met Frank at Montague Brothers on the morning of the murder and asked him to come to the factory and cover for him. Miss Hall's evidence showed that she was at the factory until 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and that the time of departure coincided with the blowing of the 12 o'clock whistle. According to Joel Hunter, an accomplished accountant and mathematician, Frank could not have completed the financial statements in less than three hours, and with a small amount of additional accounting work in the office, it took 30 minutes to 2 hours. Time became longer. The defense team of the accused inspector general, on Wednesday, the 15th day of the trial, rejected the state's request to call witnesses to question his character. According to two of his colleagues at Cornell in New York, he was so likable that he traveled alone to Atlanta to testify. Several of Frank's college professors and former colleagues traveled far south to be with him during this difficult time. The defense tried to introduce evidence from four people who repeated Conley's story about taking the body to the basement, but lawyers for Dorsey and Hooper strongly objected. This is the most important information in the text. After detailing Conley and Frank's other charges on the day of the murder, William Owens said three other men carried the 100-pound bag containing Mary Fagan's body into the basement. During the investigation, Hooper's defense attorneys tried to downplay the significance of the experiment and sent a letter to the grand jury before the trial began, asking that Conley be charged as an accomplice. When John Ashley Jones testified and spoke about Frank's moral character, the state launched its first attack on the chief's reputation.
When witnesses were called for cross-examination, Dorsey quickly stood up and asked one question after another. Rae Frank, the defendant's mother, turned to face the seated attorney. Herbert Haas, a member of Frank's party, and others led Mrs. Lucille Frank out of the courtroom. For the first time since her husband's trial began, Mrs. Lucille Frank showed significant emotion, and the defendant blushed as counsel asked leading questions of the witness. At that moment, the courtroom became quiet as the lawyer abruptly finished asking questions and sat down. Mrs. Rae Frank wasn't in court that afternoon, but he showed up in his car during the break and gave his son the customary goodnight kiss.
Attempts by Dorsey's attorneys to have the jury hear the implications of those questions were met with strong opposition from the defense. Mrs. Leo's strategy. According to Arnold's attorney, Rae Frank was dishonest, unfair and unethical. But on the early morning of August 14th, Attorney Dorsey, Leo and Mrs. Rae Frank were not allowed in the courtroom. When the women agreed to stop interfering, Judge Roane refused. At about ten minutes past one, Mrs. Helen Curran, of 160 Ashby Street, said she saw Frank standing outside the chemist's shop. Selig's friends said that on the evening of Saturday, April 26, Frank showed no signs of fear.
During cross-examination, attorney Dorsey tried to point out that Frank wanted to appear too carefree tonight and wanted to draw attention to himself by laughing out loud. Saturday, August 16 Mrs. Rae Frank took the witness stand this afternoon and produced a letter dated April 26 written by his son. The work was dedicated to his wealthy uncle, Moses Frank, who was touring Europe at the time and was in New York at the time. The letters included price lists, factory reports, and a letter from Lucille to her niece. This letter was received in New York by Moses Frank, who was on his way to Europe. The 100 witnesses who testify about Leo Frank's morality (mostly girls who worked on the fourth floor of the pencil factory) are the most important information in the document. Then Mrs. E.H. One of the first witnesses said that Carson never criticized Frank at the factory and considered him a good man. When Miss Irene Jackson was called as a defense witness, she testified that Frank came to the door of the girls' locker room on the second floor of the factory and stood there watching the people inside. Conley was in the county jail when Atlanta Journal reporter Harley Branch spoke with him. Branch Conley reported that he did not see Lemmy Quinn enter the factory on Saturday, April 26th. The witness's relationship with the city investigator was revealed during cross-examination by Attorney Dorsey. The doctor testifies. To prove his disproof of William Owens, James Conley created a pantomime of the hidden body on the day of the murder. Most factory workers said Conley had a bad temper and wouldn't believe him if he swore. When the court did not adjourn on Friday, August 16, the lawyers made threats. The collection of evidence took three weeks and is not yet complete. The trial lasted until the middle of the fifth week. This put a lot of pressure on each of the lawyers who were almost exhausted. The court met daily from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., making it time for dinner. This happened for an hour and a half in the morning. Court resumed at 2pm and adjourned until 6pm. All the lawyers were on high alert as Luther Rosser had lost 25 pounds and Attorney Dorsey looked pale and uncomfortable. The challenges faced by the lawyers have become more difficult as they have received numerous threatening letters from across the state. Reuben Arnold was followed by three bodyguards and his brother, Attorney Rosser, was always accompanied by two men. Lawyers on both sides received a flood of telegrams and letters from all over the country offering information and accusations. One person in Nashville, Tenn., spent at least $100 sending Mr. Rodger tips and advice on how to defend himself. The most important piece of information in this excerpt is that on Monday afternoon, Frank himself took the witness stand and made one of the most surprising statements ever heard in a Georgia courtroom. His testimony was so impressive that many people began to believe that he was incompetent and not guilty of the crime. Frank started talking at 2:05 a.m. and finished at 4:00 a.m. He was stopped twice by Dorsey's attorneys, who objected to items not in evidence and even took a break to drink water. His voice was as clear at the end of the exam as it was at the beginning. His last sentence left listeners speechless. After Frank finished his speech, the courtroom was silent for a moment, until the sobs of Mrs. Leo Frank and a direct command from Attorney Arnold broke the silence. Frank left with the same confidence and energy he had when he first walked into the crowd four hours earlier. Mary Fagan, a young girl from Brooklyn, is believed to have been murdered by Leo Frank. The sheriff took him to his room in the tower, where he remained calm and in full command of his powers. He did dizzying math, gave a brief account of his life, and used an affidavit to refute the claims of Jim Conley, a black man who came dangerously close to being executed. His father and mother only have money to get by, he has no wealthy relatives in Brooklyn, and his father is disabled. His lawyers will seek compensation by selling part of his parents' property, as no funds are allocated for his defense. As part of his indirect defense, Frank took the witness stand and explained his duties involved in preparing the factory's weekly financial reports. He spoke to twelve men who had the power to kill him, as if his life were in danger. The narrator woke up between 7 and 7:30 a.m. on April 26, he took a leisurely bath, dressed, ate breakfast, and drove down Washington Street or Georgia Avenue, arriving at the factory on Forsyth Street about 8:30 a.m. As usual he went to where he met Mr. Holloway, the day watchman, and met him there. Alonzo Mann, an office worker, was in an outer office. The speaker opened his desk, took off his hat and coat, and opened the safe. Mrs. Maddie Smith asked the narrator for her sister-in-law and an envelope at 9:15.
Last night, when Mr. Schiff handed them a bundle of envelopes, the narrator went to the safe, opened it, and removed its contents. The remaining envelopes were placed in the cash register. At 9:35 or 9:40 Mr. Darley and the narrator left for Montague. On the way they stopped for a drink at Cruickshank's juice shop on the corner of Hunter and Forsyth Streets, where the narrator also bought a pack of his favorite cigarettes.
The narrator and Frank drank and talked for a while. They then went to Montague Brothers and spoke with Mr. Sig Montague, the general manager of the company, and Mrs. Hattie Hall, a stenographer for the pencil company. Mrs. Hattie Hall, Mrs. Arthur White and the office boy were waiting for them on their personal return in Forsyth Street. Then the elevator motor started working and the circular saw in the woodworking shop started working. As soon as they entered, Mrs. Emma Clarke Freeman and Miss Corinthia Hall went upstairs and met Mrs. Corinthia Hall. I asked permission to bring Clarke Freeman. Freeman jacket.
Two people entered. One was Mr. Graham and the other was Earl Burdett's father. The two boys were taken to police headquarters for causing trouble during lunch the previous day, which is very important information for this article. The speaker gave the two fathers envelopes for payment and asked them about their sons' misdeeds. Mrs. Emma Clarke Freeman entered the speaker's office and asked permission to use the telephone before leaving. The narrator calls Miss Hattie Hall and tells her what mail to deliver.
He left the office and returned at the 12 o'clock whistle. Frank explained in detail how to fill an order at the pencil factory. A young woman named Mary Fagan asks the narrator for a paid envelope after Miss Hall leaves the office. I didn't know his name, but the announcer who saw him walking around the factory recognized him. He worked in the metal department until he was fired because some metal did not arrive at the factory. Factory foreman Lemmy Quinn came in and asked where Mr. Schiff was. After completing the task and making progress, the speaker looked at the clock at 1:15 and continued to work. When I called, Minola immediately answered that she would have lunch. The narrator gathered his papers and went upstairs to see the children upstairs. According to Mrs. Arthur White, it was 12:35 when she saw the speaker go by. The speaker does not know what happened. The narrator sees Arthur White, Harry Denham and Mr. White's wife arrive upstairs, one of the most important details in the document. When the speaker asked them if they were ready to go, they replied that they had preparations to make. The speaker went downstairs, gathered up his papers, locked his desk, washed his hands, put on his hat and coat, and closed both the inner office door and the street door. When the whistle blew before lunch, the speaker remained in the inner office until an hour had passed, when he spoke to Arthur White and Harry Denham. The narrator may have gone to the bathroom in response to a natural impulse (ie, nature's call). Defense witnesses' testimony that they had no knowledge of defendant's misconduct and that they never engaged in such misconduct with defendant drew objections from attorney Rosser. Dorsey's attorneys argued that the testimony was offered as a rebuttal to James Conley's testimony and would not be admissible if the witness was trying to prove a separate crime. Defense counsel testified that the witness had no knowledge of the defendant's misconduct and that he never engaged in any misconduct with the defendant before the jury was dismissed. Attorney Rosser objected to his testimony. Dorsey's attorneys argued that the testimony was offered as a rebuttal to James Conley's testimony and would not be admissible if the witness was trying to prove a separate crime. Attorney Rosser ruled that the defense witnesses must first return to the stand for cross-examination. This was based on his statement that the defense witness, Frank, testified about what happened in his office.
Mr. Griffin asked witness Leo M. Frank's general attitude towards women.
When cross-examined by the defence, Miss Myrtis Kato said she was aware of Frank's general behavior and found it unpleasant. In response to the lawyer's question, R.M. Donegan said he knew Frank's identity and it was negative. In 1910 he became associated with Mrs. H. J. Johnson of Stonewall, Georgia, who said he worked in a pencil factory for two months.
She said Frank had a generally poor reputation and was unfamiliar with his relationships with women. The court ruled that the lawyer could no longer ask questions, and soon many women followed suit. One of the women was prepared to testify that Frank proposed to her in his private office and used his key before leaving the room. Miss Dewey Hewell was brought to Atlanta from the Good Shepherd home in Cincinnati to testify about Frank's acquaintance with and conversation with Mary Fagan. He saw her calling herself Mary, putting her hand on his shoulder and standing still while he spoke to her.
On August 20, both sides met Leo M. Frank's trial for Mary Fagan's murder begins. The state's rebuttal ended shortly after noon. It took less than an hour to enter the negative evidence. Lombard Nathan Sinkowitz ME. McCoy took the watch as collateral in January and kept it until August. Others disputed the carriage men's claims that Mary was not with young George Epps when she arrived in town on that fateful day.
Frank A. Attorney Hooper began the state's argument for Frank's conviction with a speech full of language that was sometimes sarcastic, sometimes pitiful, sometimes humorous, but always with dramatic effect. It began a series of eloquent days unprecedented in the history of Georgia. In his opening statement, Mr. Hooper informed the jury that the State was willing to bear the burden of proving the defendant's guilt and would not seek a conviction if the defendant was innocent. He referred the accused to Dr. Described as friends with two other colleagues, Dr. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He is Dr. Jim Conley. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, men who get along well with two different groups of friends. The most dramatic part of his speech is: “Do not doubt the accused. "The circumstances are that he either killed this young woman or he sat in his office and allowed a black man to kill her and drag her body down the hall and into the elevator and into the basement."
The murder took place in the metal room while Montin Stover was in Frank's office. advisor Mr. Hooper explained to the jury that Frank had sworn to stay in the office from noon to midnight, but Stover went to the office during those hours. Hooper presented less evidence than any of the lawyers who followed him at Frank's trial. Luther Rosser spent the same amount of time arguing with Attorney Arnold, who was sitting on the floor. In one of the longest prosecuting speeches in a criminal case in the South, Attorney Dorsey spoke from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Attorney Arnold spoke slowly, choosing his words carefully and pausing for emphasis, and the great actor's gestures could not have been more impressive. His oratory had the power to arouse and captivate the attention of both the judges and the audience. He began by imagining a situation in which the aforementioned jury would be isolated and protected, without reading papers or hearing any proceedings, in order to reach a verdict without bias or partiality. He then lashed out at the loudmouthed idiots who assume that if someone points a suspicious finger in his direction, that person is guilty. The speaker argued that Frank would not have been prosecuted had he not been Jewish and criticized those who tried to punish the defendant "for no other reason than he was Jewish". He expressed his respect for the judges, saying they were above average. He claimed that if he had not been Jewish, he would never have been prosecuted, and Conley, who is black, was called to testify in court.
He demanded that this man be treated fairly before he treated the Jews unfairly. Moreover, it has been pointed out that some of the evidence in a case is presented rather than proved, so there is a certain class of people who are always ready to present evidence. According to Arnold, the state's theory of Mary Fagan's murder is preposterous and ridiculous. As a white Jew, Reuben Arnold exposed racism and prejudice against African Americans ("blacks"). He said the killing of Mary Fagan was brutal and typical of black people, and that Conley was far more likely to have killed the girl than Frank. His guess was that Conley was half-drunk that Saturday morning, his passions were running high, and he was jealous of every girl and woman who passed by.
Conley grabbed Mary Fagan as she came down the stairs and punched her in the left eye, knocking her to the ground. After Frank left, she waited outside the factory, lowered her body down the elevator shaft, and finished the brutal work in the basement.
Attorney Arnold established the rule that before a man could be convicted on circumstantial evidence alone, the evidence must be strong enough to exclude all reasonable hypotheses other than the guilt of the suspect. Mary Fagan's murder can be more easily explained by the theory that Conley did it than by the theory that Frank did it. Attorney Arnold had to convince the jury of that. Suspicion fell on Frank because he was the only person in the factory with the funds to do the job. On the fourth floor were Mrs. White, Denham and Arthur White. Until Frank's arrest, no one knew that the factory was located in an elevator shaft and/or mine, a major crime scene.
Mr. Starnes may think he is seeking justice and truth, but he is not. Evidence obtained by third degree torture, torture or other methods is dangerous evidence.
Being told he couldn't swear allowed Conley to make a great story. The most important information in this text is that blacks mocked their superiors, tried to speak their mind, and invented stories to defend themselves. Anyone who has been near a court knows this. He found out that they were trying to impeach Frank and file a case against him.
The attorney general vowed to pursue the case against Frank as far as the courts would allow, and investigators feared they would be criticized if they did not. The attorney general, fearing that Frank would be criticized if he did not pursue investigators further, vowed to maintain the case against Frank until the court allowed it. The attorney general promised to pursue the case against Frank as long as the courts would allow, and the detectives feared they would be fired if they did not pursue the case. The most important information in this passage is that Dalton arrives at the factory between 1 AM and 2 PM while Frank is eating lunch. The man does not know which way Dalton entered the building. I just saw him walk through the front door. The records show that there is nothing sinister about the factory and that the Clark Woodenware Company and the Pencil Factory entered through the same door. In addition, the factory was under the control of Starnes, Black and Pat Campbell, who did not dare testify for fear of questions about how they obtained these statements from Conley. The recent Atlanta riots were covered in an audio book. The Beavers formed a deputy team to search for criminals in the city and signed a new 10-year contract. Dorsey's friend Hooper said that while Schiff and Darley were morally reprehensible, there was no evidence of Schiff's guilt or wrongdoing.
The most important statement in the trial was made by Attorney General Hugh M. Town. Prosecutor Rosser spoke for more than 11 hours over three days after closing Friday afternoon. He continued his speech on Monday morning and finished it before noon.
The main reason for the long delay was the fear of trial on Saturday night. Dorsey handled all aspects of the case with detail and honesty, and his conviction of Frank was the harshest sentence for a criminal defendant in American history.
He was greeted with applause and most praised his actions and his laudable efforts to bring the young factory manager to justice. “This is not just an important issue; And this is something special. The crime was unique, gruesome, gruesome and demonic. Investigating the crime required vigilance, honesty and dedication on the part of the detectives and myself. The four Messrs. Arnold and Rosser and the two Messrs. Haas are the most important details in this text because of their status and importance. Mr. Roger, who directs the wind and causes storms, and Mr. Arnold, who is gentle as a man who cuts off men's heads and sinks ships, acted alone and took the responsibility. When the detectives beat the suspect so badly, the suspect's kind mother stood up and called the suspect a dog in front of everyone. Mr. Dorsey did not need the defendant's approval, but if he had, his integrity would be called into question. Mr Arnold believes the detectives must have been angry because they were biased. When Mr. Dorsey questions the detectives' motives, Mr. Arnold says they were paid to play the part. The case was not based on the fact that the accused was Jewish, and the first time prejudice arose in the case, it was brought by two men who, according to the most important details in the text, were willing to put these questions to Kenley. The speaker claims that the defendant's ancestors became civilized while our ancestors were still eating human flesh and that the defendant's race is superior to ours. He admires JP Benjamin, Strauss, Strauss's diplomats, and the Israelites, the race that gave birth to Rabbi Marks. Becker got his way when he tried to kill Rosenthal. Abe Roof and Abe Hummel were killed in New York and San Francisco, and Schwartz was jailed for stabbing a girl to death. The defendant is a man of bad character, and according to this audiobook, David was a good man until he forced old Uriah to confront him in order to steal his wife. Benedict Arnold was a brave man who earned the respect of everyone and the leaders of the Revolutionary War before betraying his country. The Irish Knights had a good reputation before Oscar Wilde was convicted. Abe's Hill in San Francisco had previously had a good reputation, but it ruined Smith and everyone who came in contact with him. Good character is useless if you have proven examples.
Cases of crimes committed by intellectuals are the most important information in the document. Mayor McEwan of Charlottesville, Virginia, shot his wife while she was in the bathtub, and a Virginia grand jury sentenced him to life in prison. Richardson, a Boston pastor who had gained the trust of his followers, became involved with another young woman and tried to get rid of her, but lost himself to the point of being killed. Henry Clay Beatty, head of a famous family, proved his morality by murdering his wife in cold blood after taking her out for a walk. Although the detectives in the case were humiliated and humiliated, a jury of Virginia farmers sentenced him to death and uplifted the citizens of that vast community. Beatty never confessed to the crime, but left a note to be read after his death to admit guilt. Crippen, a senior British doctor, killed his wife because he was in love with another woman. Jim Conley wasn't fired, but his overall personality was influenced by the villains employed at the National Pencil Factory. His relationships with Miss Rebecca Carson, Miss Jackson, Miss Kitchens, Darley, and Miss Maddie Smith about what he did on April 26th are all related to his inability to question these crazy fanatics. A description of the dressing room, how to get to Miss Kitchen's dressing room, what Darley and Miss Maddie Smith did on April 26th, and how to get to Miss Jackson's dressing room. Jim Conley, a black man who worked at a pencil factory, was charged with murder. He stole a bag from the pencil factory, went into the medal room with the poor girl, heard the footsteps of two men leaving, saw blood on the second floor, heard Holloway and Boots Rogers testify, and saw blood on the second floor . . . A loop of string is seen on the floor, only bills are seen, blood is seen on the second floor, and the footsteps of two men are heard walking. Also that afternoon, Arthur White received a loan of $2, but there is no record of Frank contributing to this loan. Frank also mentioned when he said he had family in Brooklyn and when Mr. Rosser defended Conley when asked about Mincey. The jury evidence at the trial of the defendant Mincey is the most important piece of information in this audiobook text. A jury found Mincey guilty of murdering Mary Fagan, a young woman who was found dead without a trace. Mincey strangled Mary to death. Jurors will find the suspect guilty of everything he did and all the circumstances surrounding the young girl's murder. The jury believed that the defendant's cage was missing from the ground floor of Newt Lee's house, as were the walking stick and the bloody shirt. The jury also included Mrs. Rae Frank who was his wife and
Lucille Frank, the defendant's mother, who covered her eyes with her hands and appeared distraught. The jury ultimately concluded that Mincey had killed Mary Fagan and returned a single verdict. Each time the intonation "Guilty, guilty" was uttered, the gong of the Catholic church located a stone's throw from the courthouse rang the bell of guilt. Judge Roane immediately began reading the charges, which concluded at 12:47 p.m. The long trial was nearing its end and the jury's decision was the latest.
There was an open conversation about racial differences and the risk of violence when warranted. At 12:47 p.m., Judge Roan concluded his speech and informed the speakers that he alone would review the admissibility of evidence and the credibility of witnesses. Just before midnight, the jury re-entered the courtroom after going to a cafe across the street for dinner. When Attorney Dorsey left the building 10 minutes later to cross the street to his office, he was swept away by the crowd. They heard Dorsey cheering. The 12 male jurors were assigned rooms on the fourth floor of the courthouse. Sheriff Plennie Minor said that shortly after three o'clock the Windburn foreman had reached a verdict. Judge Roan was called from home to join Attorney Dorsey in requesting a second vote. To prevent a possible incident, the suspect motioned for him to arrive and remained in a cell near the tower. The courtroom fell silent as the jurors took their seats in their individual boxes.
The ritual gestures described can have only one meaning. Judge Roan formally addressed the jury: "Guys, have you reached a verdict?" he asked. "This is correct." Brigadier General Winburn replied. "Read," the judge ordered. "Our jury finds the defendant guilty." The foreman stood up with the jury's verdict in his hands. This was the final conclusion of the "Leo Frank Incident".

The Leo Frank Case - 1913 Part 2 Chapters 10-16
James Conley, a black cleaner at the National Pencil Factory, was detained pending the coroner's inquest. At the factory, E.F. Holloway sees Conley washing shirts and calls the detective. When police arrived, Conley had partially dried his shirt, but the clothes on his back were still wet. Conley also saw Mary Phagan washing blood from a naturally dark stain on her shirt.
One day, Detective Harry Scott stopped by Jim's cell and asked him to write a few sentences. Researchers searched for handwritten references. An important detail in the document is that Jim Conley had a bad reputation and had been arrested by the police several times and was working on the street outside the factory behind the gates on Saturday when the tragedy occurred. I have. On May 23, Conley pleaded guilty to lying about being unable to write in the third degree, but swore he knew nothing about the murder. He gave police a copy of his handwriting, but police were shocked by its similarity to what was written on the girl's body. Around 10 a.m. Saturday, Conley called Detective John Black. Important details from this article: Jim Conley wrote a letter to Mr. Frank and was accused of writing it because Mr. Frank told him to. On Friday night, Mr. Frank comes to Jim and sends a letter to his mother in Brooklyn informing him that he is offering him a job. Black calls Harry Scott and he signs Black's statement. A grand jury has been convened to indict Frank Scott, and Black wants to proceed with the indictment by bringing Jim Conley before the grand jury so they can hear him. rice paddy.
However, Dorsey refused to take him to the witness stand, believing that without the black man there would be enough evidence to support Frank's accusations. Dorsey felt he could harass Frank without informing the blacks, but within hours he was proven right. Later that afternoon, Dorsey had a long meeting with the blacks and the detectives, and a brief transcript of the conversation was prepared. The detectives point out Frank's motive, but Conley continues his story. He swore several times to tell the whole truth, but investigators at the time believed he would never change his story. James Conley, sworn in his first affidavit for the state and county, said at about four minutes before one o'clock on the Friday before the holiday: At noon Mr. Frank came down the hall and asked me to come into the office his. He entered the office and asked if he could write. The factual statement refers to a black man who was given a notepad and asked to write on it. When I entered the office I asked if there were cigarettes and he brought me one. You then ask Gordon Bailey where Snowball is and he says he's in the elevator. When asked if he knew the night watchman, he said he had never seen him in the basement. Then Mr. Frank told him there were some rich people in Brooklyn, and Mr. Frank looked up and said out of the corner of his eye, "Why are you hanging?" said. All the security guard asked was not to take the money. The main takeaway from the document is that investigators are satisfied that the author of the murder letter, James Conley, has been arrested. A handwriting expert confirmed that the handwriting on the note was Newt Lee's, but even non-experts could not confirm whether it was written by Jim Conley. Detectives and forensic experts generally said the note writer put a noose around Mary Phagan's neck, but detectives were reluctant to arrest the note writer for several weeks. rice paddy. Frank's attorney said Conley went to school after the first day instead of third grade and that detectives acted as teachers, putting words in Conley's mouth. On May 27, Conley was sworn in again by Chiefs Scott and Ranford. He admitted writing the note, but said he went to the factory on Saturday afternoon and met Mr. Frank there. Conley also said that while Frank was writing notes, he nervously walked around the room and asked, "Why are you hanging them up?" he cried. Frank said he had rich relatives in Brooklyn. The detectives were satisfied until they had enough time to think about Conley's second statement. The blacks claimed that he looked them straight in the eye and told them everything they knew, even though they knew he might be a murderer. By noon the next day, Conley was holed up at the Newport-Rumford police station, but dozens of journalists gathered outside to demand that the charges be made public. The Beavers police chief was repeatedly asked to attend the meetings, but the officers refused to talk. Reporters picked up grim news from the word that leaked out the door. Chief Rumford decided to make a third black statement and the blacks waited downstairs for Mr. Frank and asked him if he wanted to make some quick money. He took the girl from there and told her that she hit her head on something. The black man screamed and said his daughter was dead and the man told him to take her to the elevator. The blacks told him to look in the cotton box and get a cloth.
As the narrator leads the woman into the dressing room, she slips and falls to the floor. Mr. Frank helps the narrator pick him up and take him to the elevator. Mr. Frank then helps the narrator back to the sawdust pile, and his hat and shoes return to the trash pile in front of the stove. The speaker then lies face down with the head facing the elevator, the left side of the face on the floor, the right side of the body up and the location of her hands at the sides. Mr. Frank says it's boring and joins the narrator in the back of the elevator. As the narrator walks Mrs. Clark from her bed to her dressing room and from the elevator to where he left her in the basement, she explains that their work was no more strenuous than Frank's. Mr. Frank took out a cigarette and asked the storyteller if he wanted a smoke. The speaker produced a box of matches and Mr. Frank handed him a pack of cigarettes. The speaker and Mr. Frank sat down on the chairs, and Mr. Frank took out a cigarette and asked the speaker if he wanted to smoke. Mr. Frank asked the speaker to write a few lines on the white board standing there. After the narrator writes, Mr. Frank looks at the newspaper and says that everything is fine. Mr. Frank asks the speaker to shut up so he can straighten things out. He then handed the speaker $200 and a large dollar bill. The speaker did not count it. James Conley was a factory worker in Fulton County, Georgia. On Friday afternoon he was at Montague Brothers, where he met Mr. I was told to meet Frank and come to the factory to continue working. He arrived around 11am. After meeting Mr. Frank, he was told to wait downstairs until he was called. He waited and fell asleep, the audio document says. According to Mr. Conley, Mr. Frank met with the Montague brothers on Friday afternoon and told them to come to the plant and work overtime. He arrived around 11am. He met Mr. Frank and was told to wait downstairs until he called him. Then he waited and fell asleep.
An African-American janitor named Jim Conley was taken to the pencil factory, where he played a prominent role in the murder. During the factory tour, detectives repeatedly questioned the person, pointing out where the body was found, where it fell and where the bag came from. He was taken to the inspector general's office, lectured with pictures about his role in the crime and his story, then went into a closet. During his visit to the headquarters, the black man said he does not accept unfair treatment. He was taken from the mill to the county jail, called the Tower, where the sheriff was in charge and the police and detectives were powerless. Black said through his lawyer that Frank's friends regularly stopped by his cell and abused him. After William Smith, the first lawyer hired by the paper to defend the Negro, won his case, the court blessed the Negro's return to police headquarters. Jim Conley, a black man, inflammatorily claimed his innocence, claimed that he was the real murderer, and tried to save his own skin by blaming the murder on the factory manager. The attorney general strongly protested how much attention was being paid to the statements of black people and asked the detectives to keep everyone out of their cells. With the exception of the city detectives, Detectives Starnes and Campbell, who were chiefs of the department at the time under the direct command of Attorney Dorsey, all were actually locked in their cells when the order was given. Jim Conley did not speak to the public before testifying at the trial and was believed to have continued to tell the story for a third time until he began adding new style in response to questions from his lawyers. In the first days after the black man made his startling remarks, hundreds of Atlantans cried out against the black man, and Frank's friends loudly criticized him. Despite the criticism, Dorsey remained calm and detectives maintained their belief that Frank was murdered. The fact that the words Frank, Conley, and Negro are all associated with the Atlanta murder mystery is one of the most important details of the phrase. After Frank was indicted for Mary Phagan's murder, the same grand jury tried to indict a black man for the same murder charge. Conley is in custody and has no chance of escaping now, as he did when he was charged with murder, said Dorsey, who has blocked efforts to indict the black man at all grand jury hearings. Dorsey continued to protest because he believed charging Conley with murder would be counterproductive and a miscarriage of justice, and multiple grand juries decided to indict the black man. If Frank remains attorney general, he promises to bring Conley to justice. The grand jury voted on whether it would be prudent to hear evidence against Conley, and Dorsey won. A second grand jury was convened before Frank's actual trial, but this time Dorsey won again.
Frank's supporters' hatred of Dorsey was fueled by an incident that occurred shortly after Frank was indicted. He accidentally discovered that the Selig family's cook, Minola Cook, and her husband, Albert McKnight, had surprising information about Frank Selig's activities at his home and statements from his supposed relatives. He told one of the bailiffs to take Minola to his office and send her to Albert. At the meeting, Detectives Starnes and Campbell asked the Attorney General if they should keep her husband in jail until they were sure he was telling the truth, but one of them lied.
On June 3, 1913, a black woman was arrested in a patrol car at Dorothy's workplace. He remained there until noon when he testified before George Gordon, a lawyer hired by an unknown party to defend him. According to the affidavit, Mr. Frank left the house at 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 26, 1913, and Albert was still there when he arrived for dinner. Mr. Frank returned home about 7 p.m. When I arrived that evening, Albert was there. Mr. Frank had dinner that evening about 7 p.m. That evening and about 8 p.m. The speaker left. They left Mr. Frank there on Sunday morning. The narrator notices that Mr. and Mrs. Selig are upstairs and that Miss Lucille, Mr. Frank's wife, is being soaked in a bucket of water by someone in a car. On Sunday morning, Albert and Miss Lucille heard that the girl and Mr. Frank had been found at work. According to Ms. Lucille, Mr. Frank said he was too drunk to let her sleep with him, so he took her gun and let her kill herself. Mrs. Frank did not know what to do because she had not visited her husband for two weeks. On Tuesday, Mr. Frank told Minola it was a shame he was in jail because of the girl. Mr. Lucille said that Mr. Frank couldn't sleep Saturday night, that he had trouble that night, and that she didn't know why he was going to kill her, so she took his gun and let him kill himself. The most important piece of information in this passage is that at the time of the murder, Minola was being paid $3.50 a week and Mrs. Shelley gave her $5 to keep quiet. Minola also said that Miss Lucille and the others warned her not to talk about what happened outside and that she preferred to spend her last night in jail rather than divulge any information. Detective Starnes also stated that neither Mr. Pickett, Mr. Craven, Mr. Campbell, nor Detective Starnes had any influence on Minola's decision to make this statement. Mrs. Lucille Selig Frank, wife of the suspect and a descendant of one of the most prominent Jews in the South, was vocal in her criticism of the investigators and the Attorney General. She argued that the Attorney General's decision to arrest and jail a cook who refused to voluntarily make false statements about her innocent husband was unreasonable and that it was not the detective's fault that he acted to protect his reputation critics. mass media. The chef has not been charged with any crime. Lucille Selig Frank admitted that there was no legal right to detain her. According to the Atlanta Journal, the woman was arrested at her Selig home shortly after Monday afternoon and cried as she was taken to the police station in a patrol car. Detectives Starnes and Campbell examined him for over an hour, after which he was subjected to third-degree torture for four hours. She was released from jail before her husband and he was also taken to the police station at noon. According to the Atlanta Journal, the woman was arrested at her Selig home shortly after Monday afternoon and cried as she was taken to the police station in a patrol car. Detectives Starnes and Campbell examined him for over an hour, after which he was subjected to third-degree torture for four hours. She was released from jail before her husband and he was also taken to the police station at noon. I listened to endless answers until I was exhausted and gave up. It is the longest statement since a woman was involved in the secret. February is invited to consider this fully.
The black woman is calm and composed while the lawyer is questioned and swears to uphold the law and extrajudicially torture the black woman. The attempt to force a witness to testify against an innocent person is the most important detail in this case. They plan to continue torturing the victim until the necessary testimony is given. I hope that no one in any civilized country will ever be convicted of murder using testimony obtained through the torture of witnesses. The plan is to continue torturing the victim until the necessary testimony is produced and use the evidence obtained through torture to produce evidence in the hope that no one in a civilized country will ever be convicted of the crime. It also states that it is planned to continue torturing the victim until the desired testimony is obtained, and that it is hoped that no person in a civilized country will be convicted of murder solely on the basis of evidence obtained by torturing a witness.
The most important information in the statement released and officially expressed is that the speaker's husband spent time with her on Saturday evening and night and was home for lunch and dinner on the day of the murder. The President knows that he has no evidence against him other than what he obtained through torture and that this will give him evidence that will be published in the press to undermine the case of anyone who tries to impeach the lawyer. The speaker also knows that rumors about their unhappy marriage have spread in society. He also knows that rumors are spreading that will defame him and the president. The narrator learns that their husband is a man with high ideals that prevent him from committing the crimes that the detectives and lawyers force him to commit. The most important piece of information in this article is that the wife of the man accused of brutally murdering a young factory worker played a key role in the investigation.
Despite the lawyer's statement that the husband did not go to the police station for two weeks after the arrest, the author knows that the husband came to the police station on the day of his arrest. Her husband was surrounded by newspaper staff and detectives, and his friends persuaded him to leave without seeing her. Meanwhile, outside, a newspaper camera crew awaited his appearance. For the first time, the wife of a man accused of brutally killing a factory girl has become the focus of the investigation.
What did Mr. Leo M Frank say to asked the Atlanta paper to respond to the plan's attorney general: The attorney general said the man's wife would be the last person to hear any evidence of his guilt and the last person to admit guilt. The attorney general also emphasized that punishing criminals always brings pain to families not involved in the crime, but courts and judicial officials cannot allow sympathy for the defenseless to lead them to aggressively pursue crimes. Accused of a murder. This is the ugly side of crime, and courts and court officials cannot allow sympathy for the defenseless to stand in the way of rigorous prosecution of the accused. Working class Atlanta and the state government praised Hugh M. Dorsey's position, and opposition to Frank grew. Frank's lawyer, Luther Z. Rosser, accused Jim Conley of murder and accused Chief A. Lanford was not sincere in his pursuit. As both sides began to prepare for Frank's trial, it became clear that this would be the greatest legal conflict in Southern history. Attorney General Dorsey announced the hiring of Frank A. Hooper to assist in the prosecution of the case. Ruben R. Arnold, perhaps the best criminal defense attorney in the South, was hired for $12,500 to assist in the defense. Rosser continued as lead counsel and was awarded $15,000 in damages.
On June 24, L.S. Roane proposed postponing the case. The trial was scheduled to begin on June 30. July 28 was decided by mutual agreement between both parties. According to the defense, Conley killed the girl on the first floor and then dumped her in a drain. On May 10, V.D. Mackworth and L.P. Whitefield searched the factory and found a paid envelope with a corner bearing the name Mary Phagan and an engraving of two figures.
They also found a bat with blood stains on it. Suspected traces of blood had previously been found near the well, and a piece of rope with a knot similar to the one around Mary Phagan's neck was also found nearby. The fines came to light following an investigation without Pinkerton Oilfield director Harry Scott. When Scott returned, he was told he had found the payment envelope, but nothing else. Chief Lanford denied that it was the factory, saying that his men had thoroughly searched the factory from top to bottom and would have found him if he had been there. The envelope was examined by a fingerprint expert, but no fingerprints were found. Bats were also found near where Conley tried to ambush him. Chief Lanford said he had no idea it was discovered, but it was also dismissed as a plant. He was harshly criticized by A. Lanford. Mr. B. Pierce, head of the Pinkerton Agency, did not notify city officials of the alleged discovery. Pierce was ostracized by the Pinkertons and left town before the trial. V before the court hearing. There was also important news. Conley W.H. Mincey said he killed the girl that morning. Mincey told the defense attorney in a statement. Mincey said he was near Conley's home at the corner of Electric Avenue and Carter Street when he approached the black party to get an insurance policy. Black warns that he is in trouble and advises him to follow him. Pierce was ostracized by the Pinkertons and left town before the trial. V before the court hearing. There was also important news. Conley W.H. Mincey said he killed the girl that morning, Mincey testified to the defense. Mincey said he was near Conley's home at the corner of Electric Avenue and Carter Street when he approached the black party to get an insurance policy. Black warns that he is in trouble and advises him to follow him. According to Mincey, when Conley asked him what his problem was, he replied that he killed the girl. Just moments before the trial began, key details of Conley's statement were made public, even though Mincey was a teacher at Rising Fawn School in North Georgia. Conley made one of his sensational claims when Mincey called police headquarters and asked to speak under the pretext of identifying an intoxicated black man, Chief Lanford recalled. The superintendent at the time said he made no recommendation for a confession and that after reviewing it, he could not confirm Conley's identity. Mincey was subpoenaed and transported to Atlanta, but the defense did not ask him to testify.
Apparently Dorsey had 25 witnesses trying to impeach him and he was impeached. Mincey had written several books on mind reading, and the lawyer had copies of those books to use during the investigation. Jim Conley never admitted that he wrote all the notes, but just one of them is an example of the general value of expert testimony. As a result, counsel obtained an expert review of both records. Six experts were willing to testify under oath that Frank, not Conley, was the author of both notes. When Dorsey finally took them to New York, Jim Conley, one of the foremost experts there, confirmed both men as authors.
When the lawyer returned, he forced the black man to admit that he had written both notes. At 8am on Monday 28 July, an hour before court opened, crowds began to gather outside the court as dawn broke in anticipation of a massive court battle. .
The crowd streamed through the entrance to the Red Building and up the short stairs to the courthouse doors, filling the corner of Hunter and Prior streets with people. Inside, dozens of fans and multiple ozone generators are installed to keep the air clean and the environment as cool as possible. Only the narrator's lawyer, journalists, close friends of the prisoners and some spectators were allowed to enter. More than 100 witnesses called to testify were assigned to a second-floor courtroom and waited their turn. Just before 7:10 p.m., the Fulton County Jail removed Frank from his cell, where he was greeted by his mother, Mrs. Mies. Ray Frank and his wife. He said he expected to be found not guilty and was relieved his long prison sentence was finally over. Before 9 o'clock he was taken to court and taken to the judge's bench.
For example, Herbert Haas, Ruben R. Arnold and attorney Luther Z. Rosser arrived, and Frank Rostrum, his wife, mother, and themselves sat on either side of him. Assistant Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey and his Special Assistant Frank A. Hooper and the final attorney were U.S. Attorney A.E. It was Stevens. After Mr. Arnold said he was ready to proceed with the trial, Mr. Dorsey's lawyers were prepared to strongly oppose the adjournment motion. The famous trial began with L.S. Roan sitting on the couch. Several teams entered the jury room to apologize, and the clerk began calling Veniremen by name, stated Attorney Dorsey. After this formality, Roan names the witnesses. J.W. Coleman and wife Fanny Coleman plays an important role in the investigation as she is Mary Phagan's mother and J.W. is the murdered girl's stepfather.
V. H. Mincey was one of the additional witnesses requested by Dorsey's attorneys. There were 25 other witnesses, including city detectives George W. Epps, J.M. Starnes. L. S. Dobbs. W.W. Rogers, John Black, the detective, Miss Grace Hicks and L.M. Gant, Pinkerton detectives Harry Scott and B.B. Haslett, E.F. Holloway, M. B. Willem A. Gilling, Claude Smith, City Bacteriologist Dr. J.W. He was hurt, and so was his coronary doctor. doctor. Claude Smith. Dr. H. F. Harris, President Van de State Board of Health. he. pear. Miss Monteen Stover, Mr. Arthur White, Miss Helen Ferguson, Minola McKnight, E.S. Smith, Albert McKnight, and L. Stanford. Given that Detective Haslett was scheduled to appear later, and that Albert McKnight was Selig's black husband and Frank's resident cook, Minola McKnight, the three people on the list did not respond. Jim Conley, who is African-American, was issued a summons to appear in court on Tuesday. Stanford and the third witness.
The defense then called 12 witnesses, all of whom responded positively. The defense then calls the witnesses: Annie Hickson, Mrs. Levy, Mrs. . Josephine Selig, Emil Selig, H.J. Henze, R.H. Haas, W.H. Mincey, J.T. Naija, E.F. Căpitani, May Barrett is E.L. Sentell, C.N. Carson, Rebecca Carson, Harry Denham Mirza, Harry Gottheimer Mirza, Corinthia Miss Hall, Miss Hattie Hall, Mary Burke, Remy Quinn, Herbert J. Schiff, Ella Thomas, KB Gilbert, Frank Payne, Eula Flors, Alonzo Mann, Joseph Steger, Ike Straus 및 J.C. Loeb, L.J. Cohen, Emma Bibb, Bessie White, Joe Williams, Wade Campbell, William McKinley, . 리옹, 독일 Bessie White and Dora Lavender Lyons, Jerome Michael M.O. Nix and M.V. Mrs. Meyer. The twelve jurors chosen to decide Frank's fate - Meyer, Rabbi Marks, M. Jochenning and V. Woodward, J.T. Osborne, AH Henslee, FVL Smith, JT Higdon, Data Townsend, W. S. Metcalf, F.E. Winburn, Winburn AI Wizby, Chaz J. Bossard, A.I. Wisby, Chaz J. Bossard and W.M. Geoffrey. The first group was disqualified due to cause or required testing. The second and third panels were both made up of four judges, and the judges were successful.
At 11:40 the two sides met with the first selected colleague, A.H. I passed Hensley. Eleven jurors were selected from several pools of interviewees who were questioned in turn until 11:50 a.m. The final eight members each expressed their biases and prejudices or said they had prejudices. Finally, the 144th Storyteller CJ Bossard was recruited.
Twelve men selected by Judge Roane ordered a three-hour adjournment. In the waiting room behind the courtroom, Frank had the first of several dinners. At lunch, he said with a cheerful expression that the difficult process of selecting judges was over. At 3 o'clock J.W. Coleman, the mother of the dead girl, was called to testify. He spoke in a low voice, barely audible outside the jury room, wearing heavy black clothing.
Ms Coleman remembers the last time he saw his young daughter, Mary. On the morning of Saturday, April 26, Mary helped Coleman with the housework, and after helping him make a meal of cabbage and cookies, the two left the house at 11:50 a.m. and went to the pencil factory to put pens. Obtain. $1.20 for two days work. The testimony about what the girl later ate was of no importance at the time. The fact that the state used the girl's stomach to prove that she was killed is one of the most important facts of this case. The second witness the state used to support its testimony was George Epps, a childhood friend of the murder victim and one of the last people to see him alive.
He remembered taking the little boy to the corner of Forsyth and Marietta streets and dropping him off five minutes before entering the pencil factory. Old man Newt Lee watched the boy in the stands for two hours Monday afternoon and endured his grilling by Luther Z Rosser without embarrassment or irritation. Three hours later, he left the witness stand without denying what he had said. On the afternoon of the murder, he talked about finding the body, calling the police, meeting Frank, and shaking hands in the pencil factory. He was asked to repeat his story again and again, but thanks to the intelligent cross-examination of his defense lawyer, he was able to escape all the pitfalls. "He's a very scary man," he said of Luther Rosser.
Tuesday's suspension gave the state a basis to file a lawsuit against the young plant manager. They determined that he left the house at 11:50 a.m. and called a witness who reported arriving at Forsyth and Marietta streets at 12:07 a.m. or a little earlier. In the fourth trial, he called a number of police officers who had been dispatched to the pencil factory in response to Newt Lee's initial report, witnessed the body, and informed them of the body's location and appearance. And the environment. Anyone Leo M. Frank was surprised by her quiet confidence. He sat between his wife and his mother, almost neutral and emotionless, arms folded and eyes fixed on the jury, the witness stand and one of the lawyers. He seemed confident and relaxed about both his business and himself. As he sat a few feet away from the judge's bench to the left of the lawyers, friends and family gathered behind him, he was no more worried than the onlookers. The most important information in this passage is that Frank was the most obedient prisoner there and that he was never handcuffed as he moved from prison to court and from court to prison. He was also given special freedom to move around the court and never ignored his guardian's instructions. Besides eating all his meals (except dinner) in the answering room in the morning and afternoon, he constantly entertained six to ten friends.
Her employers, other men she worked with at the factory, and numerous subordinates believed she was innocent. The immoral charges brought against him at his trial did not shake that belief. One of the suspect's friends referred to a woman at the trial who he said was a bigot and of no good character, and called a witness who accused Frank of having an inappropriate relationship with a factory worker's wife a false witness . Colleague of Mary Phagan, R.P. Barrett, a mechanic in the metal room, reported seeing blood stains near the water cooler and several strands of hair wrapped around a shelf handle a few feet away.
He said a broom was also found nearby, believed to have been used to spread liquid on the floor and cover the blood. According to the theory behind the murder, Frank took his victim to the medal room when he entered the office to collect his pay, then killed him when the victim refused to submit to the abuse. Two of the most important pieces of information in this text are from L.S. Dobb's testimony, as well as that of Christopher Columbus Barrett, who was a member of the group, brought the dead girl aside the morning her body was discovered.
The morning the body was discovered, one of the group led L.S. Dobbs to the dead girl. The defense argued that the apparent marks did not originate in the elevator, but at the bottom of the stairs leading from a first-floor pit several meters away. City police investigator J.N. Starnes, the official prosecutor in the case, testified about several important details related to the city police investigation.
The facts of the case are the most important information in this audiobook. The morning after Frank's body was discovered, De Slate walked into the office of the pencil factory and told CEO Darley, "See, I've got another suit." According to Starnes' testimony, Frank was nervous and anxious Sunday morning. There was controversy early in the case and the jury was dismissed. The controversy arose on Tuesday afternoon, July 29, when attorney Dorsey Conley tried to enter into evidence a drawing of a pencil factory with red lines showing the path the body took when it was moved from the room metal in the basement.
"Boots" Rogers testified that on the morning of April 27, when Frank and Detective John Black got into the car to take the inspector to the crime scene, Frank was very worried. The state tried to prove that Frank did not see the dead girl's face while she was at the company's hair salon. According to Rogers, the inspector left the room where the body was stored and entered another room after arriving at the company's beauty salon. Frank later contradicted other witnesses, claiming he saw the girl's face not once, but twice. Rogers' sister-in-law, Miss Grace Hicks, said the girls in the metal room often brushed their hair over the equipment and that there was a gas jet right next to the shelf where Barrett found the hair. It was Maria Phagan's. After spending several hours on the witness stand, City Detective John Black was subjected to some of Rosser's most brutal cross-examination of the entire case. In addition, Detective Starnes' testimony was sustained in connection with the subsequent police investigation. Pinkerton's agency gave defense attorneys access to the information, but Dorsey's attorneys pointed out that the discovery of bloody wounds and footprints on the floor near a sewer pipe leading to the basement was never reported to police. Attorney Rosser questioned the detective about the bloody shirt found in Newt Lee's home. He recognized the black shirt as the one found at the bottom of the black barrel.
The defense's attempt to introduce evidence about the T-shirts was met with strong legal opposition. Mr. Dorsey said that on the Sunday after the murder, Frank went to the night watchman's house and hid the shirt there. Frank also said the dress was a plant. On the morning of July 31, Detective Harry Scott of the Pinkerton Agency said a man who visited the factory months after the murders and who later helped gather evidence against him described his experience at the factory. kill him Through this witness testimony, the lawyer tried to prove that Frank tried to cross-examine Gantt. The important point about this passage is that the witness Frank Gantt did not say that he knew the girl who was killed while working at the factory, and Dorsey claims that the witness misunderstood him here. Attorney Rosser argued that because the suspect resisted his attempts to make sense of the matter, the prosecutor should have told the court that the witness had been charged before the cross-examination began. When asked by Detective Scott Dorsey if he believed the attorney withheld information, Dorsey denied the allegation that he withheld information. A state government spokeswoman confirmed that was not the case, but said investigators had overlooked the information. He then asked Scott about the advice he received about hiding evidence after Scott left his job. Frank's lawyers go to Haas and have a conference call to discuss Pinkerton's role in the investigation. After some discussion, Mr. Haas said he wanted us to get a police report. A startling revelation emerged Thursday afternoon. Mel Stanford, a young factory worker, said he swept the floor of the metal room the Friday before the murders but found no traces of Haskelline or blood. Luther Z. Rosser could not give up his cause. Read the metal floor in the room. City bacteriologist Doctor Claude Smith said he found the organism in one of them. Gilling Jane Palmer William and T.P. J. Bloomfield. Bloomfield said she had been dead for 12 to 15 hours when she discovered Mary Phagan's body hidden in the basement of the pencil factory. Factory guard E.F. Holloway is accused of masterminding the murder, saying he left the elevator's motor control box unlocked on the day of the murder. Dorsey's evidence showed that after he asked Frank Conley to help him dispose of the body, he went to the office and took the keys to the dumpster before starting the car. Holloway said she locked the elevator when she got home, but then thought twice and forgot to lock the shelves. Mrs. Arthur White's testimony on Friday, August 1, covered most of the important details of the text. She went to the factory to meet her husband at 11:30 a.m., had a brief conversation and then left, the affidavit said. He returned 30 minutes later and went to Frank's workplace. She then went to the fourth floor, where her husband and Harry Denham were working, and remained there until 12.50, when Frank arrived and told her he would close the building until noon. According to the wife When Frank reached the fourth floor, he acted naturally. White. He also explained that as he was leaving the building, he saw a black man hiding in the dim light at the first floor entrance. According to him, the state offense occurred between the first and second visit. When he was called to the witness stand, M.V. Darley admits that Frank was worried on the morning of April 27th. According to him, the factory manager called him out of bed in the morning and told him that he had come to the factory before preparing an ordinary cup of coffee. One of the surprising things about this story is that State Health Commissioner H.F. Harris. The body was exhumed and an autopsy performed 9 days after the initial burial. According to him, the girl died 50-75 minutes after lunch. doctor. His story was later confirmed by a local doctor. Other medical experts deny this. When I got my Ph.D., Harris tried to determine the time of death through an inquest, but the defense wanted to show that he was only guessing. According to other witnesses, this was not just a guess, but a scientific judgment. doctor. Harris said the victim's eye was blackened by the blow before his death and the head injury that left him unconscious was caused by a sharp object. doctor. He confirmed the doctor's testimony. He described the injuries sustained by Harris and the girl. Selig House chef Alfred McKnight said he was in the kitchen on Saturday, April 26, when Frank walked into the restaurant and took a moment to look in the mirror. Saturday, W.F. Anderson Detective Stenographer G. February. Police Chief Beavers, Detective Wagoner and Officer Lasseter were also contacted. The first week of the trial was dominated by testimony from the factory manager and police chief Helen Ferguson. A newspaper was found on Judge Roane's desk with a red headline reading "Add a link to the chain", which the lawyers objected to. After a five-minute interview, the attorneys returned to the courtroom and asked the jury to dismiss. Attorney Dorsey warned the jury not to be influenced by what they have seen recently or will see in the future. Several additional witnesses were interviewed in the first week, but their testimony revealed nothing that the police and private investigators conducting the investigation had not already uncovered. On Monday, August 4, the second week of the trial began, the state introduced James Conley, a black man who worked as a factory manager and could directly link Frank to the murders. Conley was the state's key witness. When news broke that a black man would be questioned that day, more people than anyone else surrounded the courthouse. The crowd was anxiously waiting for a black man to take his place. By 8.30am, police had approached hundreds of people and plans were made to force spectators to queue until the doors opened.
All the women who attended the meeting had to leave before the hearing began. L.S. Roan said from the couch. James Conley, who was charged with disorderly conduct in the police court, was a witness. He told Glibly how he had taken the dead girl's body to the cellar on the orders of Chief Inspector Frank. A witness sensationally claimed that Frank was seen kissing a woman in the factory office, and on other Saturdays and public holidays, he was seen holding secret meetings with women at the building's second-floor entrance. The witness testified that Frank was told to return to the factory on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. When I first met the witness, I told him that it was still a little early to do what I wanted to do and asked him to follow me like every Saturday. He saw them upstairs talking to the young women, then he looked towards the door and promised to let them know when he saw them. Mr. Frank was alone on Thanksgiving, and witnesses said he was followed as he is on other Saturdays. On the morning of April 26, 1912, Conley and Dorsey went to the Capitol Laundry and met Mr. Frank at Nelson and Forsyth Streets. This is the most important detail in this text. Conley asked Dorsey if he could go to the Capital Laundry after leaving the factory and meet Mr. Frank at Nelson and Forsyth streets. Mr. Dorsey asked him to go to the Capital Laundry, and when he returned to the factory he met Mr. Dorsey at Nelson and Forsyth streets. I asked him if I could meet Frank. Dorsey asked him to go to the Capital Laundry, and when he returned to the factory he met Mr. Dorsey at Nelson and Forsyth streets. I asked him if I could meet Frank. Back at the factory, Dorsey asked him if he could go to the Capital Laundry and meet Mr. Frank at Nelson and Forsyth streets. The most important piece of information in this text is that Conley saw Lemmie Quinn, Mary Phagan, and Monteen Stover enter the building in that order, but Mary never left. Back at the factory, Dorsey asked him if he could go to the factory. The most important piece of information in this text is that Conley saw Lemmie Quinn, Mary Phagan, and Monteen Stover enter the building. The next person to come down was Miss Monteen Stover, dressed in a red coat and tennis shoes. He woke up when he heard Mr. Frank turn his head and the door slam shut in Mr. Frank's direction. As I went upstairs as instructed, I heard Mr. Frank whistling. Mr. Frank acted strangely on the stairs, shaking and wringing his hands when he whistled. The black man stood up, spread his legs, held his hands, and moved his right hand back and forth behind his head, then in the opposite direction. Attorney Dorsey said the belt was removed from Mary Phagan's neck. In her testimony, Mary Phagan, a black woman, objected to Frank's promotion, saying he was back in the medal hall. Frank said the girl fell and was injured after the fight. Conley claimed that Frank told him that he was different from other men, citing an earlier incident in which the black man interrupted the young captain while Frank was having a strange relationship with another girl.
The most surprising thing about this trial was the questioning of Conley. His direct examination lasted less than two hours. For three and a half days, Luther Z. Rosser peppered the black witness with questions to persuade him of certain aspects of his testimony, but the black witness never lost his cool. As the questioning turned into a fitness test, Attorney Arnold entered the room to cross-examine the witness. It took four stenographers working 30-minute shifts to record Conley's testimony, and as soon as one finished recording, he rushed to his typewriter and typed notes.
Two hours after Conley's formal statement was filed, a copy of it was delivered to attorneys. Attorney Rosser saw Frank having fun with his friends in the office and asked the black man about the incident. A black man said he first saw this performance in July 1912. Daisy Hopkins, née Dalton, and the woman who works on the 4th floor. When they came in, she was cleaning and Mr. Frank called her into his office and asked if she wanted to make some money. After asking the question, Mr. Frank told him to look at the door. He sat and watched the young lady go back and forth with Mr. Dalton. Ms Mr. Dalton left after 10 or 15 minutes. When they descended the stairs and entered the cellar, the negro led them back and opened the hatch. The witness did not know how long the couple had been in the basement, but said he found the couple waiting by the hatch and opened the door when they did not answer questions. While the girl waited at the top of the stairs, Dalton said he went outside and into the office. Received $90 from Mr. Dalton and Mr. Frank. The girls left around 4:30 p.m. When you leave. The suspect asked the witness to explain what happened when the woman visited the factory two weeks later on Saturday. Conley said he wanted Frank to come in early in the morning and let him drive in the afternoon. Frank returned to the office around 2:15 p.m. That afternoon, Mr. Holloway entered the office and left shortly afterwards. A moment later the black man announced the arrival of Miss Daisy Hopkins. Then he followed her up the stairs and into the office. The most important piece of information in this case is that Jim Conley, a black man who had been stalking Frank for two years, waited at the door for a woman to come in and snap her fingers to bring Frank down. When asked if it was Thanksgiving, Rosser, who is black, said it was early winter before Thanksgiving. The black asked Mr. Roger when he last worked as Frank's bodyguard and he said it was in the early winter before Thanksgiving. The black asked Mr. Rosser when he last worked as Frank's watchman, in the early winter before Thanksgiving. The next time the negro served as Frank's companion, when Mr. Rosser asked him about it, he replied that it was Thanksgiving dinner in the early winter. He asked if the last time Mr. Rosser served as Frank's bodyguard was at Thanksgiving dinner in the early winter. Conley was questioned by investigators about his statements to police and admitted to lying to police. They said they arrived at the factory around 8 or 8:30 a.m., about 30 minutes later. He said he last saw him in Mr. Frank's office about three days ago and hadn't seen him since. He said he had a beautiful face, was dressed in black and was upstairs making boxes. When Mr. Frank entered the door, he locked it and closed it behind him. An hour and a half later he came out. As they headed for the door, the woman asked, "Did you see her?" he asked. "And Mr. Frank said, 'Yes, that's the best nigger.' "I've seen him before," he said. Conley was questioned by detectives about all the statements he made in his police statement and eventually admitted he lied.
Summary of this article: By the end of the first day of questioning, prosecutors were so happy that Conley was telling the truth that they took the surprising step of removing all of Conley's testimony from the trial. It is removed orally. Check out how Frank and his comments attacked the recent actions of black people. Attorney Arnold argued that the testimony was irrelevant, irrelevant, incompetent and inadmissible.
He also decided to attack Frank's character and exclude some black testimony from the defense's cross-examination. Hooper's attorney said that if there were no objections from the court when the evidence was presented, it would be free and fast to allow Conley to call witnesses.
Meanwhile, the defense team wanted to withdraw the wiretapping testimony in another case, but Judge Roan stopped it, saying that if the objection had been raised at the time the testimony was given, it would have been properly admitted. Frank's mother tapped him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, wrapping her arms around his neck as he bowed his head.
In court, Dorsey's attorney said the evidence was favorable. "This should not be accepted," Mr. Rosser said. Attorney Dorsey replied that it would not be proper to cross-examine this witness for two days before appearing before him, and then asked that part of it be withdrawn. This makes corroborating testimony about Frank's actions impossible.
Other witnesses are awaiting Jim Conley's confirmation, the attorney said. Conley asked the court to allow him to call witnesses to prove he was telling the truth. The lawyers asked the court for fairness and justice after they investigated the operations of the National Pencil Factory and discovered Conley's connections to six other people. The prosecution also referred to Mr. Arnold's statements and evidence. Wounds were added to the evidence of Mary Phagan's murder. The lawyers asked the court for fairness and justice after investigating the activities of the National Pencil Factory and showing Conley's connections to six others. Mr. Dorsey asked the defense to release all decisions that violated that rule in the past five years. During Frank's trial, the suspect's wife, Frank, stood up and walked down the aisle. When he entered the garden, tears flowed from his eyes. Mr Arnold called the evidence in the dispute "vicious and rotten" and said the accused had suffered needlessly. The only excuse is that the country did not object in time and they want to keep it that way. A man is tried only once in a criminal case. Attorney Arnold said introducing false and unnecessary evidence in a murder case is like accusing a suspect of the same crime. In his defense, he said the state asked the man to testify and used a lot of strange evidence to support his sordid story. Arnold also criticized the Supreme Court ruling cited by Dorsey's lawyers for applying to cases involving the legal sale of cocaine, not murder. He said that if the evidence is accepted, the murder investigation should be dismissed in favor of the other two cases because murder is a very different and serious matter than cocaine trafficking. The most important thing in this text is that Judge Roan ruled on April 26 that all possibilities except surveillance cannot be taken for granted. Hooper's attorneys asked the judge to delay the decision until Wednesday to give the state time to investigate the case and make a decision. Attorney Rosser continued to cross-examine Conley even after the jury was called back into the courtroom. Judge Roane said he could change his mind if he was wrong. After the jury returned to the courtroom, Attorney Rosser continued to cross-examine Conley.

The Leo Frank Case - 1913 Part 1 Chapters 1-9
The Frank Case is Georgia's premier crime thriller and the story of a young Mary Phagan who is murdered while collecting wages at the National Pencil Factory. Leo M. The Frank case ended with the arrest of Frank, the manager of a large factory where an employee died. The story of the case, the highlights of the next four months, and the main trial, in which two of the South's leading criminal lawyers fought the Atlanta attorney general's decision to spare Frank, were covered in the press. Frank will be sentenced in Fulton Superior Court, but a new trial has been filed and a possible death sentence could still be months away. The most important details in this document are the events leading up to the trial of Leo M. sincere.
At 3am on April 27, Mary Phagan's body was discovered in the basement of the National Pencil Factory. At noon, the night watchman, Newt Lee Negro, arrives. Arthur Mullinax was arrested and blood was found in a metal room on the second floor. Coroner Donahue empanels a jury and closes the inquest. JM Gant is captured and Pinkerton is tasked with finding the hunter. Frank and Lee were taken to the county jail and held there pending the medical examiner's decision. Attorney General Dorsey intervenes and Frank details his actions on the day of the murder. Paul Bowen is arrested and released after his alibi is discovered. Frank and Lee are being held by the coroner's grand jury. Mrs. Frank visits her husband for the first time since his captivity. Colonel Thomas B. Felder reports that Detective Burns is working to solve the mystery. May 21 - New York fingerprint expert P.A. Flack said the findings were unclear. May 24 - Conley shockingly reveals that Frank tricked him into writing the body text. 05/26 - Authorities in Burns announce that the investigation is closed.
May 27 - Conley also makes the surprising claim that Frank helped move Mary Phagan's body into the basement. Season 3 - Minola McKnight prepares a surprising statement when she hears about Frank's strange behavior on the night of the murder. June 7 - Mrs. Frank reprimands Attorney Dorsey and explains that the room where Minola McKnight made her statement was a torture chamber. June 8 - Attorney Roger charges Chief Lanford with murder. June 23 - Attorney Dorsey discovers that night watchman Newt Lee was awakened by a clock on the second floor of the National Pencil Factory.
A shadow dances in the corner towards him as he reaches out to warm the glass of the lamp. The lamplight reflected the face of a large clock that chimed every half hour. Soon Newt will be patrolling abandoned factory buildings, ringing bells and sitting back and relaxing. He was so tired that he thought he should rest.
Newt worked as a night watchman at a factory for several months. He was tired, but his tutor, Mr. Frank allowed him to rest in the afternoon. As he nears the bottom of the stairs, he shines his flashlight back and forth across the empty space on the first floor and grunts. Haya falls at 3 am. At 6 o'clock Mr. Frank told him to slow down and not come back until 6 o'clock. Newt stared at the main floor in silence as usual. There were no busy workers, no men eager to pick up a pencil, no dozens of factory girls standing by the machines. He likes cars. Because for a night watchman, peace means safety in everyday life. If you go to another floor, you will find yourself in the darkest darkness, the basement. As Newtree lifted the hatch above the water, a faint light shone from within. His lamp dimmed the cellar's dim light and flickered with light. Each time he turns, he slowly raises his legs as the flashlight moves its light back and forth, brightening the dim basement light a little. His feet were on the ground and the flashlight gave off a yellow light when he was in the basement. He takes three steps and stops. The lights came on, illuminating a pile of clothes and items Newt had never seen before. Her heart was pounding and she tried to smile, but her voice was hoarse in the silence. Newt Lee took another step forward, then stumbled back as the flashlight flickered again. When he saw that he was blocked like an ice dam, he jumped up and cried and went up the stairs. Newt was patrolling the factory building when the bell rang. The opening hours meant that the office's large printing press would print several pages for the villagers to occupy between Sunday breakfast and church. They broke away from the throngs of jovial, laughing blacks who had gathered hours before and reached the foggy streets of Decatur. Brit Botts was in Rogers' car and a third reporter stayed in the car. Inside the station building, the employees sat on chairs and spent the rest of the day until dawn. A thin point of light appeared on the smoky eastern horizon, and the hands of the station clock showed 45 minutes. The officer, who was charged with disorderly conduct, heard a black man crying in a cell behind the station that evening. The sergeant called to the burly man standing in the doorway, holding a chevron symbol that announced itself to the troop. When the phone rang, Mr. Boots' representative, Mr. Rogers, took the floor and began a heated conversation about Grace's case. V.T. Anderson got up tiredly, went to the phone booth door and opened it.
The Headmaster brothers looked up with interest for a moment, then returned to their seats. Then he got a message from a black man several streets over. A black man spoke with the trembling voice of a dead girl found in the basement of the National Pencil Factory on Forsyth Street. When Officer Anderson sent a message from the phone booth, the sleeping officers jumped and woke up. They got into the car, woke the sleeping reporters, and drove to the corner of Pryor and Decatur streets. On the corner stood two men, Officer Dobbs and Brown. The car slowed down and four people got out. Officer Anderson slammed his fist on the door and Newt Lee's horrified face looked up at them. They opened fire on him and entered the dimly lit factory gate. Lee led the way and Anderson followed, revolver in hand. Newt Lee anxiously led them up the stairs into the darkness, pointing to something in the corner. The officers bent down and saw the girl's horrified and mutilated body. The head was forward and the foot on the right rear. His face was bruised and black with dirt. When the men bent down to examine them more closely, the most important detail in the document was that they found two dirty yellow pieces of paper on which someone had scrawled a crude note. The officers read notes written by Lee and the tall black man who pushed him into the well. Anderson suddenly turned to the security guard and slapped Black on the shoulder with a rough hand, accusing Black of doing it. Police later contacted Mr. Brown, who conducted a thorough search of the basement and found the girl's other slippers. Later, the police found two sheets of dirty yellow paper with someone's crude writing on them. Anderson suddenly turned to the security guard and slapped Black on the shoulder with a rough hand, blaming Black. Newt Lee was arrested Saturday morning on suspicion of murder and taken to the police station to identify the dead boy. Grace Hicks, who lives at 100 McDonough Road, accompanied Rogers to P.J.'s morgue. Bloomfield saw the mutilated body of Mary Phagan. Detective Stearns called Frank, the property manager, and told him what had happened at the factory and that he was going to pick him up. While the police and investigators were on the scene, Detective Stearns called Frank, his house supervisor, and told him that something had happened at the plant and that he was going to arrest him. Rogers and Detective John Black go to Frank's house and ask him what happened to the pencil factory.
Frank is dressed except for his collar and tie and looks very nervous. On the way, Black Frank asks if he knows a girl named Mary Phagan, and the factory manager tells him to check the factory payroll. On their way to the factory, the three stop at a funeral home to view Mary Phagan's body. By sunrise, word of the crime had spread throughout the city, and plant manager N.W. Several people, including N.W. Darley, they were standing outside the factory gate.
Frank greeted the principal and officers and went to Frank's office. When the inspector opened the safe, he found a blank book with the name Mary Phagan. Frank asked if there was any evidence of wage turnover in the factory. The next request was to know where the girl's body was found. Frank went to the control box next to the elevator, unlocked it, and turned on the machine. Back downstairs, someone suggested we all go to the station building, where Frank suggested we take a key out of our pocket and open the locked door on the right. Boots Rogers later said that Frank took a key from his pocket, opened the right side and produced the Timeslip magazine. An important detail in the document is that Frank found a pencil in one of the holes and asked Lee why the pencil was there. Frank takes out his watch and writes on the side of his briefs April 26, 1913. Frank sits on Dali's lap at the police station, shaking violently. At the police station, Frank said that a man named J.M. Gantt went to the factory Saturday morning. Gant was the young man who had just left the factory and returned in the afternoon with the shoes he had left behind. Based on this statement, the Department of Criminal Investigation began to search for Gant. Detectives impounded Newt Lee Frank's home while they searched for more suspects. Mary Phagan was a factory girl who worked hard from dawn to dusk. On Memorial Day, he went downtown to see the Confederate veterans marching down Peachtree Street.
He took a tram into the city and met George Epps, a journalist he had always admired. He promised to meet her at 1 pm. I saw guys in gray walking down Marietta and Forsyth streets. That evening, George Epps ran to the heathens to find out why Mary had not met him as she had promised. Mary's stepfather, J.W. Coleman, went into town to see if he could find Mary. There she would have attended the Beauty Theater with her friends.
The most important details in the audio file are the events leading up to Mary Coleman's death. Mr. Coleman went to Bijou and found her face flowing, but he never saw the face of the little girl he was looking for. He returned to their home on Lindsey St. 146 and comforted her mother, who was distressed at the thought of Mary Marietta visiting her grandmother. On Sunday, April 27, Phagan knocked on the family door and told his mother it was a message from Mary. At the door stood her neighbor, Miss Helen Ferguson, her eyes full of pain and her lips barely able to say the terrible things she wanted to say. Word reached the Phagans and Mr. Coleman rushed to the village to find the girl's body, which had overtaken her daughter. In Bloomfield, undertaker Will Geesling showed him the body and it was positively identified as an elderly man. Later in the scene, hundreds of people are seen staring at the blank walls of a pencil factory. Mary Phagan was murdered on April 29 in the basement of the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta, Georgia. He is buried in the old family cemetery in Marietta, Georgia, 32 miles from Atlanta. The body was exhumed on May 7 by order of the prosecutor's office, and doctors conducted a thorough examination of the stomach and other vital organs. HF Harris was administered by the state Department of Public Health. The murder of Mary Phagan and the mystery surrounding her brutal murders created a sensation and remained a mystery not just for nine days, but for months. Mary Phagan's name was on everyone's lips and by Monday morning, the day after the murders, several newspapers appeared. The Atlanta Police Department was flooded with rumors that led to the discovery of the killer. The first public opinion unanimously convicted Newt Lee, but reports of other suspects led to the arrest of Arthur Mullinax, a former streetcar conductor and 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 she was the same girl he saw on the street. Mullinax was briefly detained by police and then taken to the police station on Sunday evening. Important details from this document reveal the fact that the two suspects, J.M. Gantt, Lee, and Mullinax. It is understood Mr. Gantt knew Mary Phagan and was at the factory on Saturday afternoon. He worked in the factory so he knew the building well. Gantt's sister, Mme. F.C. Terrell was found by police at his home at 284 East Linden Street and gave conflicting accounts of his actions. The officers decided they were on the right track and arrested Mr. Gantt for Mary Phagan's murder. Gantt flew to Atlanta and joined Lee and Mullinax at the train station.
Two police officers appeared on a Decatur street, far from the crowd of cheers and laughter that had engulfed them hours before. They found Britt in Boots Rogers' car while a third reporter stayed in the car. In the station building, employees sleep on chairs during the day until dawn. As the station clock strikes 45 minutes, a thin point of light appears on the smoky eastern horizon. Officer Anderson receives a text from a black man telling him about a dead girl found a few blocks away in the basement of the National Pencil Factory on Forsyth Street. When Anderson heard this, he ran out of the phone booth and woke up the sleeping police officers. If an emergency occurs, the machine will be operational within a minute. Police were seen at the corner of Dobbs and Brown Prior streets and Decatur streets as a National Pencil Company vehicle approached. When the four men got out of the car, Officer Anderson balled his fists and slammed the door. Newt Lee pointed to the corpse in the corner and led them up the stairs into the darkness. Police found her broken hair, black hair covered in blood from a heavy blow to the back of her head, crisp white hair, a bunch of faded and stained blue ribbon, and blood on her lavender silk dress. I noticed that the white slipper was still hanging from his right foot. The most important detail of the document is that two dirty, yellow pieces of paper were found with someone's scribbled scribbles on them. These letters were written by tall colored people and employed by tall colored people. The officers read the note and decided that the person who wrote it had committed this infernal act. Police later found the girl's other slippers, a small, thin hat, and two sheets of dirty yellow paper on which someone had written a rude letter. Newt Lee was arrested and taken to the police station, where the deceased boy was identified. The sentence ends with the announcement that an investigation has begun into the murder of a small factory worker.
Two policemen appeared on a street in Decatur, breaking away from the cheering crowd and laughing at the blacks who had swept them a few hours earlier. They found Britt in Boots Rogers' car while a third reporter stayed in the car. In the station building, employees sleep on chairs until the sun comes up. The station gauges mark 45 minutes and a thin, bright spot appears on the smoky eastern horizon. Officer V T. Anderson receives a report from a black man that a young girl has been found dead in the basement of the National Pencil Factory on Forsyth Street, a few blocks away. When Officer Anderson took the message from the phone booth, the sleepy officers jumped and woke up. If an emergency occurs, the machine will be operational within a minute. Officers Dobbs and Brown were seen at the corner of Prior and Decatur streets as a National Pencil Company vehicle approached. When the four men got out of the car, Officer Anderson clenched his fist and slammed the door. Newt Lee pointed to the corpse in the corner and led them up the stairs into the darkness.
Officers saw her broken hair, black with blood from a severe blow to the back of her head, distinct white hair, a blue ribbon that tied her, faded and stained, and she was wearing a lavender silk dress. Covered in blood. He had a white slipper on his right foot. The most important detail of the document is that two dirty, yellow pieces of paper were found with someone's scribbled scribbles on them. This post was written by a tall black man employed by a tall black man. When the policeman read the ticket, it became clear that the person who wrote it had committed this heinous act. Police later found the girl's other slippers, a small, thin hat, and two sheets of dirty yellow paper on which someone had written a rude letter. Right after Newt Lee was arrested, he was taken to the police station to find out who the dead boy was.
Officer Rogers told the officers that he knew the girl who worked at the pencil factory and could guess who the murdered boy was. Grace Hicks, of 100 McDonough Road, accompanied him to the mortuary where P.J. Bloomfield's body was laid to rest. Detective Starnes called Frank, the doorman, and told him to get his jacket and come with him. On the way, Black asked Frank if he knew a woman named Mary Phagan, and the factory manager said he would check the factory payroll.
On their way to the factory, the three stop at a funeral home to view Mary Fagan's body. When asked if he knew his friend, Frank said he could always find him by visiting the factory. As the sun rises, the three approach the factory and word of the crime spreads throughout the city. Among them is factory manager NV Darley, who asks Frank to inform his wife before leaving home. Frank greeted the field manager and entered Frank's office with the chief and officers. When the inspector opened the safe, he found a blank book with the name Mary Fagan. Frank asked if there was any evidence of wage turnover in the factory. The next requirement of the investigator was to examine the place where the girl's body was found. Frank went to the control box next to him to unlock the elevator, turned on the machine and the elevator began to descend. The group went through the basement where the body was found and returned to the second floor. Frank has known Darley for a long time and said that if he could get anything from him, it would be Darley. When we got back to the ground floor, someone told us to go down to the station building. Frank turned to Darley and asked him to write another note on the clock. Botts said Rogers rarely mentioned the murders and that he saw the area where Mary Fagan was found dead. When I told Darley about the new clock problem, the director agreed. Frank took the key out of his pocket, opened the locked door on the right and took out the time sheet. While looking through the notes, he found a pencil in one of the holes and asked Lee why the pencil was there. Black put the pencil there so he wouldn't make the mistake of making the right hole. Frank unlocked the watch and wrote "26". It is at the end of the "April 1913" section. Frank and the police board Roger's plane, and Frank sits on Darley's lap. At the police station, Frank nervously jumps out of the car and speaks quickly and slowly. Frank J.M. A young man named Gant, who had just been released from the factory, came to the factory on Saturday morning and returned in the afternoon with the shoes he had left behind. Based on that statement, the Department of Criminal Investigation issued a search warrant for Gantt. Detectives impounded Newt Lee Frank's home while they searched for more suspects. Mary Fagan was a factory girl who worked hard from dawn to dusk. On Memorial Day, he drove downtown and picked up $1.20 from the factory. He took a tram into the city and met George Epps, a journalist he had always admired. They got into the car together and Mary arranged to meet him at 1 a.m. At twelve o'clock that evening, George Epps rushed to Fagan's house to find out why Mary had not met him as she had promised. Mary's foster father, J.W. Coleman, went into town to see if he could find Mary, who may have gone to the beauty theater with her friends. Mrs. Coleman's husband, Mr. Coleman, goes to the Bijou and watches people pass by, but never sees the face of the girl he's looking for. He returned to their home on Lindsey St. 146 and comforted her mother, who was distressed at the thought of Mary Marietta visiting her grandmother. On Sunday, April 27, there was a knock at Fagan's door, and his mother's heart skipped a beat when she said it was a message from Mary. My neighbor, Helen Ferguson, was standing at the door. His eyes were sad and his mother's heart was broken. Word reached the Phagans and Mr. Coleman rushed to the village to find the girl's body, which had overtaken her daughter. In Bloomfield, undertaker Will Geesling showed him the body, which he positively identified as an old man. The scene later showed hundreds of people staring at the blank walls of the pencil factory. The most important details in the document are 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 the old family cemetery in Marietta, Georgia, 52 miles from Atlanta. On May 7, his body was exhumed at the direction of the prosecutor's office, and doctors carefully examined his stomach and other major organs. HF Harris was administered by the state Department of Public Health. The results of the investigation were known only to him and his lawyer until he took the witness stand nearly three months later. This crime shocked the city of Atlanta like never before. The Grace incident was a sensation that lasted for months, not just nine days. The murder of Mary Phagan and the mystery surrounding her brutal murders created a sensation and remained a mystery not just for nine days, but for months. Newspapers continued to circulate Monday morning, the day after the murders, and the Atlanta Police Department was flooded with rumors, many of which led to the discovery of the killer. The first round of public opinion unanimously convicted Newt Lee, but reports of other suspects led to one more arrest before the end of the first on Sunday. Mullinax was briefly detained by police and placed in a separate cell. Another suspect, J.M. Gantt was arrested Monday in Marietta. He knew Mary Phagan and is known to have been at the factory on Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Gantt's sister, Madame F.C. Terrell was found by the police at his home at 284 East Linden Street and gave conflicting accounts of Mrs. Gantt's movements. Officials then decided they were on the right track. Gantt was arrested Monday morning on a warrant for Mary Fagan's murder. He was transported to Atlanta and joined Lee and Mullinax at the station. Gant was honest about the fact that he had been laid off from his factory job a few weeks earlier and had returned to Marietta to buy shoes. The morning after his incarceration, Gant tried to get out of jail by filing a writ of habeas corpus, but he and Mullinax were released before the warrant took effect. Both men presented a clear alibi through testimony at a forensic inquest on May 1.
Police and investigators were outraged by rumors that the girl had been kidnapped and drugged. Paul Bowen, a former Atlanta boy who knew Mary Fagan, was arrested in Houston, Texas, and provided an alibi on May 7, the day after his arrest. Police got a helping hand on Monday when it was revealed that officials at the pencil factory had asked local Pinkerton detectives to help investigate the crime. On Monday, April 28, the jury met Coroner Paul Donoghue in the metal-armored pencil factory room. The discovery of bloodstains on the floor of the metal room led investigators to suspect that Fagan's daughter had been killed there, rather than in the basement as originally suspected. On Tuesday, April 29, Leo M. Frank, president of the National Pencil Factory, was taken to the police station and arrested for the murder of Mary Fagan. From that day he was never free. The most important information in this article is that the suspect was born in Paris, Texas in 1884 and moved to Atlanta when he was 3 months old. He attended Brooklyn Public Schools and Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. He earned a degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell University in 1902. Then he started working as an artist with a friend.
We are a trusted company located in High Park, M.A. Six months later, he returned to his hometown of Brooklyn to work as a test engineer and draftsman for the National Meter Company in Brooklyn, New York. He remained in this position until the middle of October, 1907, when he came south to consult with the citizens of Atlanta regarding the establishment and operation of a pencil factory there. At 11:45, Newt Lee said he arrived at the factory at 4 p.m. He left following Frank's instructions. Detectives and police said she was lying face down, but he said he saw her face up. J. G. Spirit said he saw a girl and a man outside the Cartersville Pencil Factory Saturday afternoon. George Epps said Mary told him Mr. Frank winked at him and said he was suspicious. Sentell said he saw Mullinax with a girl he believed to be Mary Fagan on Saturday night. R.P. Barrett said he noticed bloodstains near Mary's equipment on the second floor. This indicates that she began her fight for her life there, and not in a dark basement. Gantt and Mullinax were released Thursday afternoon and an autopsy was temporarily postponed.
Investigators concluded that young Mary Phagan made a brief visit to the factory on Saturday afternoon to collect wages and never left the factory. This left investigators scrambling to solve the mystery of the girl's death. I went one step further. Elle Sentell admitted that she met Pearl Robinson with Mullinax and not Mary Phagan. Other witnesses who claimed to have seen the girl on Saturday afternoon also came forward and said they may have been wrong. The problem was solved and the authorities were given reason to believe that Mary Fagan never left the pencil factory alive. Newt Lee and Leo Frank were transported to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office pending investigation by police headquarters. 2 suspects, Leo M. Frank and Newt Lee were taken to the Atlanta Tower amid questions about the legality of their arrests on municipal warrants. The verdict that brought them to the Tower was identical in all but name. The police arrested and kept Leo M. Franks, a suspect in Mary Fagan's murder, in custody at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia. He read that Frank should be arrested and detained pending further investigation. Mary Fagan has announced her death. After the two men in the tower and two other former suspects were released, investigators seemed to have no doubt that they held the key to solving the mystery. However, there was another man involved in this and his arrest was not much talked about at the time, with the newspapers only writing a paragraph about it. This man later shocked the world with the most shocking testimony before the trial. James "Jim" Conley, a black janitor who worked at the National Pencil Factory, was arrested at 2 a.m.
He was arrested as a suspect along with Lifter Snowball around 12 p.m. on Thursday at the police station factory. Investigators arrested a sixth suspect in Fagan's slaying at 1 a.m. At midnight Thursday, Conley was seen washing shirts in a faucet behind the building. He said his shirt had rust stains and he had washed it to attend the coroner's inquest when he was called. Suspects and clues flooded the detective agency, and many of Frank's friends investigated the case privately, hoping to dispel the cloud of suspicion hanging over the famous young detective. He was a prominent figure in the community and popular with his friends. He was president of a local Jewish organization, a church and welfare leader, and a college graduate. Mary Fagan's friends encouraged her when she was charged with murder. People called officers to tell them what to do, and hundreds of letters poured in from all over the state and six other states. Two women who had nightmares about the murder accurately described the killer. When detectives revealed that they honestly believed either Frank or Lee were the culprits, tempers soared and people were expecting something nasty to happen on Thursday night. City, county and public officials were also carefully considered. Governor Joseph M. Brown advised Lt. Gen. J. Van Holt Nash to contact the 5th Georgia Regiment of the Georgia National Guard to prepare for an emergency. AND AND. colonel Pomeroy, the commander of the 5th Regiment, gathered his men in the armory of the auditorium, a few blocks from the tower where Frank and Lee were confined, and kept them there late into the night. At 11:30, the soldiers were allowed to return home. Rumors of mob violence were unfounded until the coroner's jury reconvened Monday morning. Early Saturday morning, defense attorney HM Dorsey held a lengthy conference call with Detective Ranford and Coroner Paul Donoghue, which led to more witnesses being called in the investigation and city and state police joining forces in the case. I decided to work on it. A new Fulton County grand jury found W.D. Monday morning. Eris cursed. The judge reminded the coroner's jury that they must review Fagan's case before convicting them of Mary Fagan's murder. The first witness was Leo M. Frank took the stand for three and a half hours, talking about where he was and what he was doing on the day of the murder.
Other witnesses examined that afternoon included Mr and Mrs S. Emil Selig of the Franks. Frank initially lived in Brooklyn, New York, and left Brooklyn in October 1907 to return to the United States to work for the National Pencil Company, where he became general manager. Frank was responsible for managing material purchases, controlling factory costs, entering and fulfilling correct orders, and overseeing overall production. On Saturday morning, I went to work at the factory as usual, and in the afternoon, I did the same work as usual. No one was in his office when he started copying and sending orders.
At 12:10, 12:05, the murdered girl came to get the envelope. Frank was in the office processing an order when he came in and asked for an envelope. She handed him the envelope with the payment, knowing he would take it. The most important information in the audiobook is that the witness Frank had money in his wallet to avoid going to the safe and did not know Mary Fagan's phone number. He did not look back after handing over the payment envelope and did not record payment details on receipts or other documents. The girl came out and asked if the medal had arrived, but the witness explained that Fagan's son had been off work since Monday due to a lack of metal. The boy had $1.20 in his pocket, some of it from work last Friday and Saturday. Witnesses heard her footsteps disappear down the hall and went back to work without thinking about her. He faked it and knew the boy's face but not his name. He thought her name was on the outside of the prepaid envelope, but she identified it by the phone number. According to witnesses, he told the girl that he was late leaving and that he had not been paid after giving her the envelope. Then Frank said something surprising. Chip Manager Frank and Chip Manager Remy Quinn chatted for a while and left around 12:20. Frank goes to the fourth floor and meets factory workers Harry Denham, Arthur White and Madame White. He found two children. He immediately returned to the factory and met Mr. Lee at the police station on Monday, the day after the murder. Frank said he spoke to Lee at the police station the Monday after the murder, when investigators questioned the black man and asked him to confess. Frank was just as unsettled by the criticism and questions as he was before he testified from the stand. Emil Selig and his wife Josephine Selig also followed Frank on the witness stand. They said they met Frank for dinner on Saturday and Sunday. The inquest into the death of Mary Phagan was adjourned until 9:30am on Thursday. Six witnesses testified, including Boots Rogers, Lemmie Quinn, Miss Corinthia Hall, Miss Hattie Hall and Jay L. Hall. Watkins and Daisy Jones. Boots Rogers testified that when Mary Phagan's body was discovered Sunday morning, Frank changed a tire and the watch while the police were at the factory, and Frank removed the seat from the watch. He said it was stolen but it was clear. It must be precise. J.L. Watkins and Miss Daisy Jones were questioned in detail to disprove Quinn's claims that they had visited the factory on the day of the tragedy. Rogers described Frank's behavior on Sunday morning when the police drove him home to take him to the factory. Factory worker Corinthia Hall said Frank's treatment of the girls at the factory went beyond abuse. Dr. J.L. Watkins. Daisy Jones mistook Mary for Fagan when she thought she saw her on the street near her house at around 5pm. Saturday One of the first witnesses was Detective Harry Scott of the Pinkerton Agency, followed by Deputy Chief Schiff of the Pencil Factory.
Scott's most interesting testimony was that one of Frank's attorneys, Herbert Haas, asked him to step away from the case for the time being. Detective John Black followed Scott to 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 Frank was clearly nervous. Frank was called back to the witness stand and testified to general questions about elevators, clocks, Saturday afternoon work, his behavior that evening and Sunday morning, and general factory precautions. As the witnesses wrapped up their testimony this afternoon, everyone in the courtroom took a deep breath, thinking about turning the now famous Fagan case over to others for trial. A grand jury investigating the death of Mary Fagan at the National Pencil Factory has been indicted for murder. The six jurors went out the door one by one, and the foreman announced the verdict. The jury rules Mary Fagan's death as strangulation, and pencil factory owner Leo M. Frank and the night watchman recommend that Newt Lee be included in the grand jury investigation. While Mr. Frank was reading the evening paper in the tower room, the lieutenant approached him and told him that the coroner's jury had recommended that he and Lee be sent to the grand jury to examine the body. Important details from the document - Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey became so interested in the case that he hired a private investigator to conduct an independent investigation into the tragedy.
Later, Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey was so intrigued by the case that he hired a private investigator to independently investigate the tragedy. Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey was convinced that Frank was guilty and that he was only using the detectives to gather evidence against Frank and was not working properly to solve the mystery. The suspect's friends began to explain that he was bullied because of his race. The Jews of Atlanta strongly believed that Frank was innocent and was not as outspoken as Dorsey. City detectives were convinced Frank was the killer, but he was looking for clues. The lawyer's detectives gave up after about ten days and were never seen in Atlanta again. A few weeks after the detective puts Frank and Newt Lee in the tower as suspects, he hears a young girl talking on a street corner and meets Mary outside the factory as she goes upstairs to collect her salary from Frank. Rumors spread that he had been waiting a long time. Investigators eventually located the woman in question and discovered that she had been at the factory on the Saturday before the tragic incident involving the girl, who died a week later.
Colonel Thomas B. Felder, a prominent Atlanta attorney who has tried high-profile drug graft cases and is a longtime foe of South Carolina Gov. Cole Breese, addressed the residents of Bellwood County. He is said to have said the following: He was hired to find and bring to justice the murderer of the girl who was staying with Mary Fagan. The culprit is actually Leo M. He was believed to be Frank, and the Georgians solved the mystery and presented enough evidence to identify and track down Frank and the others. He said he should hire any detective. They were guilty when Frank was innocent. Felder William J. Burns was a personal friend and Mr. Burns supported efforts to oust Governor Breese. Felder said Burns would come to Atlanta to find the killers of the Factory Girls if the public would support him by donating a fund.
Due to the rapid growth of subscribers, a special consultation was held on 18 May. C. W. Toby came to Atlanta to tie up loose ends and smooth things over. The most important detail in the document is the allegation that Colonel Felder tried to bribe GC Febuary, who used a stenographer to steal some affidavits and documents from Phagan's case. Minister Lanford accused Colonel Felder of trying to bribe. February as a matter of fact did use a stenographer to steal some affidavits and documents from Phagan's case. According to the Dictator's records, Felder negotiated to procure certain affidavits to be turned over to the city's criminal investigation department, alleging that the chief and some of his members were guilty of open and proven corruption. The deal was brokered by a Tennessee adventurer who met Felder while researching transplants at a pharmacy. Mayor James G. Woodward was also present and approved of Felder's attempt to deliver the items to the detectives. This fight against the abuse almost turned into a battle when the two executives met in court. The dispute between Felder and Rumford was the result of a grand jury investigation into the popular Dictogram case. Felder sued Ranford for defamation, and several public attacks were made against each other. This increased public awareness of the crime and made it difficult to quell rumors that an invisible hand was at work. On Friday, May 23, the Fulton County grand jury heard the motion to indict Frank on murder charges. The witness on the first day of the trial was Dr. P. Barrett, who had found the girl's hair on the second floor of the factory, in the same area where the blood stains were.
Although hundreds of people said Frank would never be indicted, Detective J.N. Starnes and W.W. Rogers was one of the key witnesses on the second day of the grand jury hearing. The principal witnesses at the second session were Harry Scott, Pinkerton, and Miss Monteen Stover. The girl became a new character and a very important witness in the case. He told the grand jury that he entered Chief Frank's office at 12:10 p.m. And I waited 5 minutes to be paid without seeing Frank or the police officer. The girl did not testify at trial, but investigators admitted they wanted her as a key witness. Shortly after Monteen discovered Stover, Harry Scott of Pinkerton and John Black of the Metropolitan Police went to the Tower and asked Frank if he had left his office between 12 and 12.50 on Saturday. Frank Arthur said he hadn't left his office since Miss Hall, went up to the fourth floor and locked White's wife's building. The girl's testimony was taken very seriously by the lawyer because it was the only flaw the police found in Frank's story during the investigation. All statements confirmed by his witnesses are true. Monteen Stover's story was found credible and the grand jury was given a truthful account when Scott followed him on the witness stand and spoke about Frank's repeated accusations that he did not leave the office on time. There were five Jews on the grand jury, an unusual number for Fulton County, and although there were many rumors that the indictment would be withheld until the indictment was returned, every member of Congress signed the indictment, even though they had only one vote for the bill. This fact was never made public. Because Frank did not expect to be indicted, he assured his friends that the grand jury would not indict him for the crimes that occurred in his tower cell. He was in charge of almost every aspect of the incident and took the news in stride.

The Leo Frank Case: Frank's Own Story - Inside Story of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery
This is the twentieth Chapter in the 22-part series of 'Leo Frank Case: Inside Story Of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery'.
Leo Frank, a man accused of murdering Mary Phagan, took the stand himself in a criminal court room in Georgia, making an impressive statement that brought many to believe he was incapable and innocent of the crime charged against him. Frank spoke with three brief intermissions, and his last sentences were clear as at the commencement of the ordeal. He pleaded for his life, stating that he was silent because his counsel advised him to be.
Frank's testimony was so impressive that it brought many to the belief that he was incapable and innocent of the crime charged against him. He spoke with just as muck self-possession and sprightly a step as he had walked upon it four hours before. The younger woman threw her arms around him and sobbed on his shoulder. The mother took her son's head in her hands and kissed him passionately again and again.
During his recounting of his story, Frank stepped from the stand to explain the work of preparing the weekly financial sheet of the factory, a part of his "circumstantial alibi." He addressed the twelve men who can send him to death with just the same earnestness as one can imagine him addressing a buyer over his desk in the factory of the National Pencil company.
On Saturday, April 26, Frank woke up between 7 and 7:30 and leisurely washed and dressed, having his breakfast. He arrived at the factory on Forsyth street at about 8:30 and distributed the various books, files, and wire trays containing the papers that were placed there the evening before. He then went to Montag Brothers, where he spoke to Mr. Sig Montag, the general manager of the business. Listen on in the very last detailed and elaborate statement that the defendant Leo Frank gives to the court before the judge, jurors, and witnesses - both for and against him, and supporters in general.

The Leo Frank Case: Lawyers Laud and Denounce Frank - Inside Story Of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery
This is the twenty-first Chapter in the 22-part series of 'Leo Frank Case: Inside Story Of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery'.
Attorney Frank A. Hooper opened the state's argument for the conviction of Leo M. Frank for the murder of Mary Phagan in an eloquent speech, replete with word pictures, sarcastic, pathetic, humorous, and dramatic. He declared that the state was not seeking a verdict of guilty unless the defendant was guilty, and that the state cheerfully assumed the burden of proving him guilty.
Hooper described the defendant as a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a man who was congenial with two widely different sets of associates. He declared that Jim Conley had stood like Stone Mountain in the face of the tremendous bombardment directed at him by Attorney Rosser in an effort to break him down. However, Conley eventually arrived at the truth.
Hooper touched on the evidence only in a general way, dealing more with the law. He defined the reasonable doubt, told the jury of the value of character testimony, and the worth of circumstantial evidence. Attorney Arnold, who succeeded him on the floor, argued four hours and forty minutes, while Luther Rosser took exactly the same time. Solicitor Dorsey talked between eleven and twelve hours, making one of his longest speeches ever made by a prosecutor in a criminal case in the South.
Attorney Arnold was perhaps never more effective than in the Frank trial, speaking deliberately, choosing his words, pausing for emphasis, and the gestures of a master actor could not have been more dramatic. He paid his respects to the jury by saying they are "way above" the average. He took up every detail of the state's theory and with powerful logic undertook to show that this theory is unreasonable and absurd.
Hear about the different scenarios and theories that both sets of lawyers (both the State and the Defense) lay out for the judge and jurors regarding Frank's guilt and/or innocence.

Solicitor Dorsey, exhausted from his speech, asked Judge Roan to charge the jury, a sworn to be without prejudice or bias, to find Leo M. Frank guilty. The crowd gathered in the courthouse, fearing an outbreak and discussing race differences. Judge Roan concluded his charge, stating that the jury was the sole judges of the evidence and witnesses' credibility.

Foreman Winburn replied that they had, and the foreman read the verdict, declaring that the jury found the defendant guilty.

The Leo Frank Case: Attorneys Threatened - Inside Story Of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery
This is the nineteenth Chapter in the 22-part series of 'Leo Frank Case: Inside Story Of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery'.
On August 16, the trial of a man accused of murdering a young girl in Georgia was a long and contentious affair. The lawyers were exhausted, with many losing weight and facing threats from fans who supported the move to send the prisoner to the gallows. Defense attorneys received numerous letters of advice and condemnation from all parts of the country, with one man in Nashville, Tennessee, spending at least $100 in writing to Mr. Rosser suggestions for how to present the defense case.
The trial was the longest in the history of the South, and Frank stood it as well as any prisoner who ever faced the scaffold. The state made no attack upon his mentality, and even Solicitor Dorsey described him as a mental colossus. The four leading attorneys made references to the defendant in the arguments to the jury, stating that the greatest injustice in the case had been the whispered, unspeakable things that the very suspicion of which is damning.
Attorney Luther Z. Rosser praised the defendant's story, stating that it had the ring of truth to it, unmistakable, and unrefutable. He believed that the state had built its case on Conley's statement and it stands or falls with it. Attorney Reuben R. Arnold argued that the greatest injustice in this case has been the whispered, unspeakable things, and that the state has built its case on Conley's statement and it stands or falls with it.
Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey believed that many people of bad character use charitable and religious organizations to mask their real self, and that Mary Phagan's stamina and character were not like other men.
