This is the third Chapter in the 22-part series on the Leo Frank Case: Inside Story Of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery.

On a still Sabbath morning, Leo Frank was taken to the station house to identify the dead child. Deputy Rogers told the officers that he knew a girl working at the pencil factory who could probably look at the murdered child and tell who she was. He returned with Miss Hicks and went to the morgue of P. J. Bloomfield, where the body had been taken.

At 05:30 a.m., Detective Starnes called up Frank, the superintendent at his home, and told him that something had happened at the factory. The three of them got into Roger's car and rushed off toward town. On the way, Black asked Frank if he knew a girl named Mary Phagan, and the superintendent is said to have told him that he would look on the factory payroll and see. On the way to the factory, the three stopped at the undertakers and looked on the body of Mary Phagan. Hear what Frank's reaction at the sight of her mutilated corpse was like and how he initially became a suspect in the murder after the night watchman Newt Lee's arrest and custody.
