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.
