One Sabbath morning on April 27th, 1913, Newt Lee was a night watchman on the second floor of the National Pencil Factory. It's cool and he has to make his rounds every half hour. As he descends the stairs to his first floor, darkness engulfs him behind him, and only a thin streak of light indicates the stairs he must climb. Mr. Frank, the factory manager, has let him rest most of the afternoon, but he hopes to have a good time and not come back until six. Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, Newt mutters to himself and begins throwing the light of his lantern back and forth on the empty ground floor. After many lonely nights like this, Newt Lee learned the importance of quiet communication and good sleep. Newt is a night watchman tasked with investigating the factory basement. He found Mr. Frank, who had been asked to go upstairs with Mr. Gantt to get his shoes, raised his voice and appeared nervous, rubbing his hand and rushing out the door. . Newt examines the dim and quiet first floor of the factory. He opened the trapdoor over the hole in the channel, and a faint light came through. The gas jet is burning, but getting weaker. Newt says it's Mr. Frank's order to keep the lights bright. As he climbs his feet and carefully anchors himself on each step, his lantern flickers with light, faintly illuminating the dim light of the basement. his feet touch the ground. Lung. A key detail in this text is that Newt Lee is in a basement with a lantern flickering yellow light, a pile of clothes and things he has never seen before. His heart pounded, and he strained his ears for another sound, but the silence enveloped and gripped him, and for the first time in his life, a black man felt a deadly, nauseating terror. He tried to shake it off and laugh, but his voice was stiff and glaring in the silence. Taking another step forward, Newt Lee staggered back as the lantern flashed again. He sobbed and jumped up the ladder when he saw something that stopped the blood like a dam of ice. The thing next to the boiler was no joke, no holiday prank. And Newt Lee sobbed on the ladder.

The coroner's inquest began Wednesday morning after lengthy interviews with Frank and Newt Lee at the police station Tuesday night. A large number of witnesses, including factory girls and many others, arrived at the police station to testify at the inquest. The first to testify were Constables W.F. Anderson and Brown, who detailed how they were informed of the murder and how they found the body on that harrowing Saturday night. Mr. Anderson said the basement was a long narrow enclosure between rock walls, with an elevator shaft near the front, a boiler in the middle on the right, and a partition enclosed in a junk-room-like enclosure on the left that opened. I explained that there was a restroom. The right side is behind the cauldron, the left side is behind the girl's body and behind the door. Brown followed Anderson to the witness stand and made a very damaging testimony against Newt Lee. He said it was impossible to tell that the body belonged to a white girl unless you were within a few feet of it.
Brown testified that Mary Phagan's body was found in a pile on her chair, along with her clothes, a purple dress with white trimmings, shoes, and gunmetal-black slippers around 11 o'clock. At 4:45 a.m. Newt Lee took the stand and testified that he had arrived at the factory at 4:00 a.m. He then left as Frank told him to. Detectives and police say it was face down, but he testified that he found it face up. J.Q. Spear of Cartersville saw a girl and a man outside a pencil factory on Saturday afternoon, they were excited and nervous, and the girl was seen at P.'s on Sunday. Newt Lee testified that it was the same as Chapel of J. Bloomfield. George Epps, a young newsboy who had driven into town with Mary Phagan, testified that Mary told her that Mr. Frank gave her a look and that he was suspicious. E.L. Sentell testified that he saw Mullinax with a girl he believed to be Mary Phagan late Saturday night. R. P. Barrett testified that he found bloodstains near Mary's machine on the second floor. Gant took the stand and told the same story he had already told the detectives. J.W. Coleman testified about the horror she and her mother felt on the night of the murder by Leo M. Frank. Fourth National Bank assistant teller Barry said the note found on the girl's body was written in the same hand-writing as several other notes written by black nightguard Newt Lee, detectives at police headquarters. said.
The inquest was postponed until Thursday as investigators took steps toward solving the mystery of the death of infant Mary Phagan. They concluded that Mary had only briefly gone to the factory on Saturday afternoons to collect her wages, and that she had never left the factory. Claims that Mary was seen in the middle of the night with Mullinax and girls matching her description were scrutinized but found to be unfounded. Elle Center confirmed that she saw Pearl Robinson, not Mary Phagan with Mullinax.

At Wednesday noon-time, Judge Roan overturned the ruling, announcing that Conley's testimony about sexual perversion and that she had previously nursed Frank would be removed from the record. Attorney Arnold moved to allow access to the court, but Judge Roan refused to exclude the audience and the attorney filed a miscarriage of justice. After Dalton left the witness stand Thursday morning, Dr. F.H. Harris had finished testifying and the situation was dormant. The state defense immediately commenced litigation, and Dr. Leroy Childs, Dr. Harris speculates. Pinkerton detective Harry Scott was stopped by the defense, and Arnold tried to speculate from him that Conley might have been trained to testify to the police.
The most important detail in this text is that of Jim Conley's trial. On Friday, the eighth day of the trial, the defense presented a cardboard model of the pencil factory, which was later used to illustrate testimony at the trial. They attacked George Epps' testimony. M. Matthews and W. T. Hollis were the drivers and conductors of the car driven into town by the girl on the day of the murder.
Construction plans for all floors of the pencil factory were also announced on this day. The second week of the trial ended at noon on Saturday with Franks Young's clerk Herbert Schiff taking the stand. He explained that it was Frank's habit to prepare financial reports every Saturday afternoon, a task he could not complete in less than 2-3 hours. He faced one of the toughest cross-examinations in the case, but his testimony was unwavering. On Monday, August 11, the defense began attacking Dr. Conley again.
The most important detail of this text is the statement of Dr. Willis Westmoreland Former State Board of Health Chairman, Ph.D. ,Dr. T.H. Hancock. Other witnesses swore not to believe CB, including J.C. Olmsted and Dr. George Bachman. Dalton swore. Miss Hattie Hall, a stenographer and clerk at the Montague Brothers, was summoned to add a link to the time alibi. Veteran and mathematician Joel Hunter explained that Frank couldn't finish the financial report in less than three hours. On Wednesday, the 15th day of the trial, attorneys for the accused chief defied the state to name witnesses who would defame him. Two former Cornell classmates now from New York came to Atlanta just to testify, while one or two of Frank's other school friends and college professors made the long trip south to teach. He met a former classmate of mine and helped him during times of necessity.
The most important detail of this text is the statement of Dr. William Owens described how he and three other men carried a 110-pound sack, which weighed as much as Mary Phagan's body, to the basement, and other actions Conley and Frank allegedly took on the day of the murder. reported.

The jury was sent, and Rosser argued that the state should show only general character. Attorney Dorsey replied that while the state cannot bring a specific lawsuit, the defendant's statement that he never had a woman in his office cast doubt on that stage of his character. Attorney Rosser disagreed, arguing that witness testimony was submitted to the defense and that James Conley's testimony was refuted. Judge Roan ruled that testimony was admissible if it contradicted the testimony of one of the defense witnesses. Attorney Rosser responded to the ruling by requiring the defense witness to be brought back to the table for cross-examination before the lawyer can testify inconsistently with the defense witness. The jury returned to court and Miss Griffin remained on the witness stand. The most important detail in this audio-video document is the three witnesses who testified against Leo M. Frank. When the first witness, Miss Martis Cato, was asked if she knew Frank's general character about women, she said "no." second witness, Mrs. Asked if he knew Frank's general personality when it comes to relationships, RM Donegan said, "No." Third witness, Mrs. H.J. Johnson was asked if she was aware of Frank's general reputation for women, but she didn't say much.
The defense was unable to cross-examine all but addresses. Dorsey said one of the women was willing to testify that Frank made a lewd proposal to her in her private room and used a wrench before fleeing her room. Dewey Huwell, who was brought to Atlanta from the Good Shepherd's home in Cincinnati, said Frank knew Mary Phagan and saw him conversing with her. Witnesses were asked how many times they spoke with Mary Phagan and how many times they put their hands on her shoulders. He called her Maria and stood near her when she spoke.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, August 20, both sides were taking a break, and it took less than an hour to submit the rebuttal. Witnesses and doctors' testimony contradicted Dr. Harris and pawnbroker Nathan Sinkowitz vowed that Mie McCoy pawned his watch in January and that it would remain his property until August. Some disputed the tram driver's statement that little George Epps was not with him when he came into town on the day Mary died.
A key fact in the audiobook is that Frank punched Mary Phagan in the left eye and threw her to the ground before dropping her body down an elevator shaft and hovering around the factory until Frank left. Arnold's job was to convince the jury that Mary Phagan's murder was as easily explained by Conley's theory as it was by Frank's. The charges centered on Frank because he was the only man in the factory. And it wasn't until long after Frank was arrested that no one noticed the opening of the elevator, the most crime-prone part of the factory. Stearns may think he's fighting for truth and justice, but it's like the Court of Appeal decision he read out this morning.

Frank took the stand Monday afternoon and gave the most remarkable testimony ever given in a Georgia criminal court. He spoke for three short pauses, interrupted twice by Lawyer Dorsey, and once for a sip of water. When he finished speaking, his voice was so clear that the audience gasped. After Frank's argument, the courtroom fell into complete silence for ten seconds, then almost simultaneously broken by Leo Frank's sobbing and Arnold's terse dismissal order. Defendant left the stand with the same restraint and brisk pace that he had entered the stand four hours earlier.
He returned to his position again between his wife and mother, her mother cradling her arms and sobbing on his shoulder. He tried to comfort her with her tender affection, and her mother held her son's head in her hands and she kissed him passionately. When Frank was taken away by the sheriff, he was still convulsing. Leo Frank has been cool since he was born in Paris, Texas, and he's mastered that skill. He solved complex mathematical problems in his head. He briefly recounted his life, recounting how he attended school in Brooklyn, attended college, founded the National Pencil Company, and traveled to Europe to learn how to make pencils.
He recounted his actions on the day of his alleged murder of Mary Phagan, contradicting the testimony of the black Jim Conley, whose testimony brought him closer to the gallows. He also refuted CB Dalton's affidavit stating that two women had come to his office for immoral reasons. Frank told his story as he left the booth and explained the work involved in preparing the factory's weekly financial report. This was part of a circumstantial alibi. He argued about numbers and calculated intelligently as if he were not carrying the burden of life.

Hooper to help prosecute, Felder stepped out of the case after the Dictator case, Cooper had just arrived in Atlanta and made a name for himself, and Reuben R. Arnold probably the Prosecutor assigned to assist the defense of the greatest criminal. The hearing was originally scheduled for June 30 on the Supreme Court schedule, but was postponed after Justice L.S. Roan promised to take Mrs. Roan to the beach the first week of July.
The defense had said Connolly murdered the girl on the first floor and dumped her in a puddle. On May 10, a man named McWorth and Whitefield ran the factory. They found a corner of a pay envelope with Mary Phagan's name and a two-digit number written on it, and that the Pinkerton field manager, Harry Scott, had been out during the investigation into Mary Phagan's murder. I found a dirty club to impress. When Scott returned, he was told that a pay envelope had been found, but nothing more. Chief Rumford dismissed the envelope as a plant, while Commissioner H.B. Pinkerton Pierce was criticized for failing to notify city officials of the alleged fiend.

The Pinkertons then fired Pierce. The most important detail in this text is .WH. Mincey, an insurance salesman and teacher, filed an affidavit in her defense on Saturday, April 26, saying Conley confessed to murdering the girl that morning.
Mincey claimed that when he was at the corner of Electric Avenue and Carter Street near Conley's house in the late afternoon, Conley approached a black man and asked him to take out insurance. Conley replied that he had killed a white girl, and Mincey left the belligerent black man. Chief Ranford recalled that while Conley was making sensational remarks, Mincey called police headquarters and asked for an interview on the pretext that he wanted to identify a drunk black man. An important detail in the document is that Mincey was brought to Atlanta on her subpoena, but she was not asked to appear on the witness stand. Dorsey was summoned for him and had 25 witnesses trying to prosecute him.
Mincey had written several books on mind-reading, and his lawyer had copies of them available for cross-examination. In one litigation case, Jim Conley never admitted to writing only one of the memos, so the attorney continued to undergo both peer reviews. Eventually, Dorsey took them to New York, where one of the country's most prominent experts stated that Jim Conley had written both. Upon his return, the lawyer coerced the black man into confessing to writing both memos.

The words persecution and prejudice characterized Frank's trial. It is revealed that Attorney General Hugh M. Dorsey hired a private investigator to independently investigate the tragedy and was convinced Frank was guilty. The town detectives and friends of the defendant were also convinced of Frank's innocence. Town detectives are adamant that Frank is the culprit, but he said he was open to a conviction and would follow through on any leads. Rumor has it that a girl overheard them talking on a street corner and said that they had met Mary and had been waiting outside the factory while she went to pick up her salary from Frank.
Investigators eventually located the woman in question and found she had been to the factory the Saturday before the tragedy involving the girl, where she died a week later. Colonel Thomas née Felder, a prominent Atlanta attorney, was hired by residents of Bellwood, Georgia to find and prosecute a girl murderer. He said the killer was Leo M. But Frank said to the Georgians they need to hire detectives who can solve the mystery and secure enough evidence to convict Frank if he is guilty, convict another man if Frank is innocent. said there was a need. Felder was a personal friend of William J. Burns and intended to get Burns to come to Atlanta and join the search for Factory Girl Slayer if the public donated to the fund.
Subscribers quickly grew, and Special Counsel C.W. Toby has come to Atlanta to clear a dead end and smooth his way to a famous boss. Shortly after his arrival, Toby gave an interview, stating that his theory of crime was exactly the same as the theory held by the town detectives at the time. For about a week, Felder and the Burns family were prime candidates for the investigation.
A New Yorker at the time, Flack frequently claimed, whether guilty or innocent, that a large corruption fund had been set up to save Frank. It has also been suggested that Felder and the Burns family were actually hired by Frank's friends to protect him. The suspicions of the town's detectives culminated in a dictation by the investigator and Chief of Rumford's clerk to Colonel Felder. On May 23rd, the Atlanta Journal sensationalized the famous dictator and devoted an entire front page to this scoop. Secretary Ranford accused Colonel Felder of bribing CG.
Organists are alleged to have stolen certain affidavits and documents in the Phagan case in February. Dictatorship records show Felder was negotiating the purchase of certain affidavits that were to be submitted to the city's Criminal Investigation Department, alleging that the boss and some of his members had engaged in corruption as proved. The Felder and Ranford Controversy was between the two main characters of Phagan's crime novels, Felder and Ranford. The exposure of the dictator caused a violent altercation between Felder and Ranford, but the sheriff's deputies prevented the actual altercation.

A new Fulton County grand jury was sworn in Monday morning by Judge W.D. Ellis, underscoring the need for immediate and vigorous attention to the Mary Phagan case. Leo M. Frank was the first witness called to recount where he was and what he was doing on the day of the murder. The only other witnesses questioned that afternoon were Mr. and Mrs. Emile Selig, where the Franks lived. Frank testified that he had previously lived in Brooklyn, New York, and that he left Brooklyn in October 1907, went abroad and returned to the United States, where he worked for the National Pencil Company, where he became Superintendent General. He described how he came to the factory as usual on Saturday morning and how business as usual continued until noon at the factory.
It was a public holiday and there were only 11 people in the factory, which made his job somewhat easier. An important detail in this document is that the stenographer, Dr. Hall, and the clerk, Alonzo Mann, left the building shortly after 12:00 when Frank began copying the order into the shipping request. When the murdered girl appeared and took the envelope, Mr. Frank handed it to her knowing that an employee would come for it. Frank admits he looked up Mary Phagan's phone number since the murder, but forgot it again. He didn't record the payment on his payslip or other records because he didn't need to.
The girl went and asked if the metal came. He said the Phagan child has not been operational since Monday due to metal supply shortages. There was $20 in the child's pay sack, part of which was from work the previous Friday and Saturday. He didn't know what her salary was because he didn't open her seal when she left. Hearing her footsteps fade into her corridor, he thoughtlessly went back to her work.
The document's most important detail is the events leading up to Mary Phagan's assassination. Witness Frank identified the girl by her number and did not fill in her payslip after handing over her envelope. He then made the startling remark that, five or ten minutes after Mary Phagan left, Leme Quinn, the head of the chip department, walked into his office and had a little chat with him. Frank then went to the fourth floor and found two boys who had worked in the factory, Harry Denham, Arthur White and Mrs. White. Then he went home and spent the rest of the afternoon at work.
He explained on his financial papers that Lee had arrived in the early afternoon and told him to come back. After Negro returned, Gantt came to pick up the shoes. Then he went home and called Lee at the factory. Then he went to bed at eleven o'clock. And he continued to talk about what happened the following Sunday. When investigators ordered him to interrogate the black man and extract a confession, Frank said he told security he knew you knew something.

The most important detail in this audiobook document is that R.P. Barrett, a machinist employed in the metal room where Mary Phagan worked, found blood stains near the water cooler and a hand on a lathe several feet away. He said he had several strands of hair wrapped around him. A broom was also found nearby and was used to spread the liquid on the floor and hide the blood. This was based on the theory that Frank had lured a victim into his office to collect his paycheck into a metal room and murdered her for refusing to comply with her abuse. It was one of the state's most important statements regarding the murder. James Conley also testified that when Frank ordered the girl to be carried from the second floor to the basement, the girl's body was dropped and blood was found there.
The defense wanted to point out that the apparent trail did not begin at the elevator, but at the base of the ladder leading from the hole in the waterway on the ground floor, a few yards away. Sergeant Dobbs testified that signs of bodies being dragged started from the side of the elevator pit. Town detective J.N. Starnes, the official prosecutor in the case, testified many key facts about the city police investigation. Starnes testified Sunday morning that Frank was nervous and shivering. He also described bloodstains on the floor of the metal room and swore he found more bloodstains on nail heads 50 feet from the elevator.
Arguments erupted frequently in the early days of the case, and juries were acquitted. As evidence, Dorsey wanted to provide a drawing of a pencil factory with a dashed line marking the route Conley claimed to have taken the body from the metal room to the basement. Boots Rogers said that on the morning of April 27, Frank drove to his home with town detective John Black and was extremely nervous as he drove the detective to the scene. He said Frank was constantly rubbing his hands, walking around anxiously and asking abrupt questions. The state wanted to prove that Frank had avoided looking into the dead girl's face in the entertainment room.
Rogers testified that although the superintendent walked into the room where the body lay, he could not affirm with certainty that Frank had not seen the body. Other witnesses called by the state also corroborated Rogers' testimony, but Frank later denied them. On Sunday, April 27, Rogers' sister-in-law, Miss Grace Hicks, described a visit to the morgue the morning after the murder. She noted that the girls in the metal room frequently combed their hair on the machine, and that there was a gas jet a few yards from the lathe where Mr. Barrett said the hair was said to belong to Mary Phagan. Admitted to finding a bunch. She also testified that the paint was stored in an adjoining room, but she never saw the paint spill on the floor of the metal room. Town detective John Black stood on the witness stand for several hours.

On Monday, July 28, 08:00 a.m., a crowd began to gather outside a courthouse in Atlanta, Georgia. A squad of police officers and deputy sheriffs directed traffic on the main street, and hundreds of people walked through the entrance of the red building and up a short flight of stairs to the door of the room where the trial was held. Inside, a dozen electric fans and ozone generators were installed to clean the air and keep the atmosphere as cool as possible. Benches were installed instead of chairs and the seating capacity increased to 250. Only storytellers, lawyers, journalists, close friends of the prisoners and a few spectators were admitted. Frank was taken out of his cell at the Fulton County Jail just before 7:00 a.m. and spent the hours leading up to the court date chatting with them and other relatives. He was brought to court before 9:00 a.m. and chose a seat in front of the judge. Attorneys Luther Z. Rosser, Reuben R. Arnold, and Herbert Haas arrived, followed by a dozen assistants with papers and laws. Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey announced on behalf of the defense that he was prepared to proceed with the case. Attorney Arnold stood ready to oppose the motion to stay.
At 09:00, Judge L.S. Roan strode into the courtroom and Sheriff Mangum and Chief Lieutenant Plennie Minor lined up for orders. The material state witnesses that were called included the following individuals: Mr. J.W. Coleman, Mrs. J.W. Coleman, George W. Epps, Newsboy Polizei Sargent, LS. Dobbs, City Detective Eltharns, W. W. Rogers, Bayless City Detective John Black, Miss Grace Hicks, L. M. Gantt, Pinkerton Detective Harry Scott, City Detective B.B. Haslett, E.F. Holloway, M.B. Darley, Dr. William A. Giesling. Claude Smith, Urban Microbiologist, Ph.D. J.W. Hart, Coroner, Ph.D. H.F. Harris, E.L. Perry, E.S. Smith and Miss Monteen Stover. Attorney Dorsey have announced that they have not waived their intention to be called to the witness stand as directed by Judge Roan. The defense then named the following witnesses, all of whom responded: Annie Hickson, Mrs. Levi, Mrs. Josephine Salig, Emile Salig, H.J. Henze, R.H. Haas, W.H Mincey, J.S. T. Spear, E.F. Skipper, E.L. Centel, May Barrett, Ch. Carson, Mrs. Rebecca Carson, Harry Denham, Harry Gottheimer, Miss Corinthia Hall, Miss Hattie Hall, Mary Burke, Remy Quinn , Herbert J. Schiff, Ella Thomas, CB. Gilbert, Grank Payne, Eura Flowers, Alonzo Mann, Joseph Steger, Ike Strauss, J. C. Loeb, L. J. Cohen, Emma Bibb, Mrs. Bessie White, Joe Williams, Wade Campbell, William McKinley, J. E. Lyons, Dora Lavender, M.O. Nix, Jerome Michael.
At 8.40pm, the first of the 12 jurors was called to the court for questioning. Lawyer Dorsey asked each juror his usual formal questions. Are you related or married to the accused, the deceased, or the prosecutor?
The second week of the trial began on Monday, August 4, with the introduction of James Conley, a black factory cleaner and the only witness directly linking Frank to the crime. The public waited anxiously for the Negroes to take their stand, and when it was announced that the Negroes would be interrogated that day, a large, never-before-seen crowd surrounded the courtroom. From the bench, Judge L.S. Roan told all the women present to leave. Mr. James Conley took the stand and told glibly how the dead girl's body was taken to the cellar under the direction of Superintendent Frank. He once caught Frank exhibiting a compromising attitude toward women in his factory office, monitored him at the front door of the building on Saturday afternoons and early on a public holiday, and on the 2nd, confirmed that Frank was with a woman. made sensational claims that they were on secret dates.
Witnesses said Friday afternoon that Frank had instructed them to return to the factory on Saturday morning. The most important detail in this document is Conley's conversation with Mr. Frank on Saturday morning. Conley tells how he went to the dry cleaners in the capital and met Frank on Nelson and Forsyth streets. Back at the factory, Dorsey asked if he could turn the knob on the front door so no one could enter. Back at the factory, Dorsey asked if he could turn the knob on the front door so no one could enter.
Back at the factory, Dorsey asked if he could turn the knob on the front door so no one could enter. Back at the factory, he is asked by Dorsey if he can turn the knob on the front door so no one can enter. The most important detail in the document is that the young woman, Mr. Frank, and the witness were talking about a young woman who wanted to borrow money. The witness pointed to his right shoulder and said, 'Don't let Dolly see me answering the lawyer's question.'
The Negroes said they saw Leme Quinn, Mary Phagan, and Monteen Stover enter the building in order of their names. After going upstairs, witnesses heard footsteps heading towards the office, then towards the metal room. The next thing he heard was her screaming. The state attorney general argued, but the witness heard no more. Who was the next person the witness saw going up the stairs? Miss Monteen Stover was wearing tennis shoes and a red coat. She stayed up for a while, but she came down again. Then Tiptus came out of the metal department and Tiptus ran back. The narrator then heard Mr. Frank stamping on them. The narrator got up and locked the door, then sat back on the box for a while. Finally I heard Mr. Frank's whistle. Just minutes after the stamp, the narrator heard him whistle.
An important detail in the audio recording is that Mr. Frank was standing at the top of the stairs, shaking, rubbing his hands together, and acting strangely. He had a little cord in his hand and his eyes were wide open and wild. Conley testified that Frank had returned to the metal room and that Mary Phagan had resisted his advances. Frank said there was a fight and the girl fell and injured herself. Conley said that Frank was aware that he was different from other men and interfered with the young Superintendent having a strange relationship with another girl. Direct questioning of Conley lasted less than two hours, and his cross-examination was perhaps the most notable feature of the trial. Luther Z. Rosser bombarded Negroes with questions to bring them down, but Negroes never lost their minds. James Conley's trial was a test of physical endurance. Attorney Arnold appeared to testify, but Mr. Dorsey objected and Judge Roan ordered Rosser to continue the inquiry. Conley's testimony was transcribed by four stenographers in a half hour shift, and defense attorneys received a copy of the official testimony two hours after it was entered into the minutes.
Attorney Rosser asked him about cases he had seen before, and although Black did not hesitate to answer, he frequently replied, "Oh, I remember." Asked him about the case, and although Black didn't hesitate to answer, he often replied, "Oh, I remember." Rosser asked him about a case he had seen before. , and Black did not hesitate to answer, although he frequently replied, "Oh, I remember." He didn't hesitate to say, "Oh, I remember." The most important detail in the document is the women's first visit to the factory, which happened about two weeks later on Saturday.
Witnesses were told that Frank had come early in the morning and said he wanted to preach in the afternoon. Frank returned to the office at about 9:00 p.m. that afternoon, and shortly afterwards Miss Daisy Hopkins walked in, followed her up the stairs, and saw her enter the office.

Frank's defense alleges that Conley graduated from a third degree school and that the detectives were instructors. On May 27, Mr. Conley issued another affidavit in which he admitted to writing the memo, but added that he went to the factory on Saturday afternoon and found Mr. Frank there. He also added that he helped dispose of the bodies the next day. Chief Ranford decided to release the black man's third affidavit. On April 26, 1913, Conley returned to the pencil factory with Mr. Frank and asked him if he wanted to make money. The narrator is asked to pick up a dead girl from the men's restroom and bring her up to the elevator. They bind her with a cloth and take her to her changing room. Mr. Frank helps them back to the sawdust pile, and Mr. Frank looks at the trapdoor to see if anyone is coming. The narrator then unties the cloth and puts it back on the stove. Frank stood by the trap door and asked the narrator to take him to the basement changing room. The narrator puts her face down and drags her into the basement changing room. Mr. Frank then joins the narrator in the back of the elevator and staggers. The narrator then turned off the engine and waited for Mr. Frank to come from there and wash his hands. They then enter the office and Mr. Frank locks the narrator in a closet for seven or eight minutes. Mr. Frank then took out a cigarette and asked the narrator if he wanted to smoke.
The most important detail of this text is that the narrator, James Conley, was handed a box of matches and cigarettes by Mr. Frank. He then asked the narrator to write a few lines on a white paper notepad. Mr. Frank then told the narrator to shut up and make things right. He then presented the narrator with his $200 dollars, but the narrator made no attempt to bring it out to the guards. The narrator decides to tell the truth about the matter, and Mr. Frank promises to return the report on Monday if he survives and nothing happens. The document's most important detail is the events surrounding the arrest of a notary public in Fulton County, Georgia. On Friday afternoons, Frank instructed Conley to meet near Montague Brothers, and Conley went there each day to enter the factory to do additional work. By noon, Conley was escorted to the pencil factory by six detectives in the presence of several newspaper reporters and several factory workers. He was then taken to the superintendent's office, where he wrote his dictated notes. When Secretary Ranford asked Negro whether he had been abused during his stay at headquarters, he said no. Conley was not taken back from the factory to police headquarters, but to the county jail known as The Tower, where the sheriff was in command and the police and detectives had no authority. Attorney William Smith, who was initially hired by the newspaper to represent the blacks, obtained court approval to bring the blacks back to police headquarters. Black claimed through his lawyer that Frank's friends frequently walked past his cell, beat him, accused him of lying, and even threatened his life at gunpoint. After Connolly was escorted back to the police building, the Attorney General made strident remarks about the public focus on the black man's testimony and urged detectives to keep all visitors out of his cell. An order was issued barring entry into the cell except for town detectives, including Harry Scott, aka Pinkerton, who admitted to submitting all development reports to his employer, the National Pencil Company. From then on, the public never heard of Jim Conley until he appeared in court as a witness, and until he began adding new flair by answering lawyers' questions in court, Jim Conley was the third. It was widely believed that he was obsessed with stories.

Three men from the Atlanta Police Department were released from the night shift just as Newt Lee told them it was time to leave to patrol the factory building. They turned to Decatur Street and freed themselves from the crowd of happy-smiling Negroes that had swarmed them a few hours earlier. The police found Boots in Boots Roger's car while he was leaning back in his chair for the rest of the day. In a cell at the back of the ward, early that night, black sobs were heard by police officers charged with disorderly conduct. The sergeant growled and pushed him off his back, brandishing the key. When the phone rang, Boot's deputy Rogers opened his mouth and began presenting the Grace case. W.T. Constable Anderson wondered who was calling at this hour. Tired, he got up, went to the phone booth door, and opened it. An important detail in this document is that Officers Anderson, Rogers, Dobbs and Brown are all officers of the National Pencil Factory on Forsyth Street. When Officer Anderson rushed out of the phone booth with the message, the sleepy officers jumped up and jumped into the car, waking the sleeping reporters. As the car approached the corner of Prior and Decatur Streets, they saw two men standing on the corner. The car slowed down and the four men got out. Officer Anderson banged on the door with his fists clenched, and Newt Lee's frightened face turned to them. They fired at him and entered the factory's dark entrance, with Lee in front and Anderson right behind him. The men held hands clutching revolvers and marched in single file to the water. Newt Lee led her down a ladder, pointing anxiously at something in the corner. Officers crouched to stare at the badly mutilated corpse of a girl with her head forward and her legs slanted to the right rear corner. Her face was covered with bruises and black stains, indicating the extent of her injuries. Her hair was ragged, the blue ribbon that tied it was withered and dirty, her lavender silk dress was covered in blood, the thick cords cut deep into her flesh and the fabric torn from her dress. I saw a gag. Her petticoat was torn to shreds, her suspender belt was cut off on one side, and her white stockings themselves were hanging almost to her knees. Sergeant Brown cocked his head back and gasped, "Oh my God, just a kid." As Sergeant Dobbs was examining the basement floor, someone was holding his breath and scribbling a rude letter. I found two dirty yellow papers. The officers read out the notes, one reading, "I love the girl who lies like a witch in the night," and another reading, "Mom, the black people I hired here did that." was written. When I went to fetch water, he pushed me to the ground. "That hole. What woke it up was a long, tall, black black man, a long, slim, tall black man. I write as I play. What was it? Did the man who wrote these notes commit this hellish act? Anderson suddenly turned to the guard and placed a rough hand on his shoulder. "Negro, you did it," he said hoarsely.

A key detail in the documentary evidence is that investigators adhered to theories that Frank was the killer and that the Attorney General was prejudiced against Jews. But the same grand jury that indicted Frank for Mary Phagan's murder sought to indict this Negro for the same crime. Mr. Dorsey defended his position by blocking his move to indict a black man at every meeting of the grand jury. Some of the grand jurors were determined to indict Blacks, and Dorsey continued to protest. He is convinced that the charges against Conley will serve no purpose and will lead to miscarriage of justice, and if he stays, Attorney General Frank will be tried before Conley. An important detail of the document is that the jury voted on the propriety of presenting evidence against Conley, and Dorsey understood his point. The atmosphere on the issue was so tense that one grand juror immediately appealed to the Supreme Court and resigned from the jury on the grounds of jury bias. Before Frank could actually go to trial, another grand jury was appointed, and lawyers vehemently protested to foreman Deep Beatty, calling a meeting to consider Conley's matter. Dorsey walked unfazed, devoting virtually all of his time to preparing Frank's case. Shortly after Frank's indictment, an incident occurred that fueled hatred of Dorsey among Frank's sympathizers. In a roundabout way, he claims that Albert McKnight, Minola's husband and Salig family cook, has sensational evidence of Frank's behavior in the home, as well as alleged testimony from family members. I found out Detectives Stearns and Campbell were also present when Minola McKnight, who lives at 351 Pulliam Street, Atlanta, Georgia, testified that Mr. Frank left his home at 8:00 a.m. on the morning of Saturday, April 26, 1913 and her husband Albert and she was there. Albert had gone home that night, but he came back. Mr. Frank returned home at 07:00. Albert got back at 1:15 that afternoon and Mr Frank joined him at 1:30. When the narrator arrived on the scene Sunday morning, he saw a man in a car fetching a bucket of water and pouring it into it. Mr. Frank's wife, Miss Lucille, was downstairs, and Mr. and Mrs. Bailey were upstairs. Albert was there on Sunday morning, but the narrator cannot remember when he got there. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey and Mr. Lucille were having breakfast together, but Mr. Frank was gone. After dinner, Mr. Lucille, Mr. and Mrs. Baily were talking about the girl who was caught in the office on Saturday with Mr. Frank. Lucille said she was Jewish and Mr. Frank said it was Gentile.
On Tuesday, Frank said it was Menorah and he may have to go to jail. A woman, Mrs. Frank's sister, Ms. Rosalind, told Ms. Lucille that this was terrible and that she would look into it. She said on Sunday, Lucille said Frank didn't sleep very well on Saturday night. Lucille told Sailing that her husband, Frank, was in trouble and asked him to get a pistol and kill himself.

An important fact in the audiobook is that James Conley, a black cleaner at the National Pencil Factory, was arrested while the coroner's autopsy was in progress. E.F. Holloway, the factory timekeeper, saw Conley washing shirts and called detectives. Conley had partially dried his shirt when police arrived, but the clothing on his back was still damp. Detective Harry Scott asked the Negro to write a few sentences, but Negro casually described his actions on the tragic Saturday, counting every minute and vowing that he never approached the factory that day. Jim Conley had a bad reputation within the factory and was arrested several times by the police. Investigators found that he had borrowed money from numerous employees and had not repaid it. On May 23, Conley admitted to third-degree charges in court that he lied about his inability to write, but he swore he knew nothing about the crime.
On Saturday morning, Conley sent Detective John Black to tell him the truth about the note he had written. Because he said Mr. Frank would send a note to his mother in Brooklyn, and her mother would introduce her to work. Detective John Black was ecstatic and demanded that he tell the truth. A key detail in the document is that Black attempted to secure an indictment of Frank Scott by taking Jim Conley to a grand jury and allowing the jury to hear him. Mr. Dorsey refused to be taken to the witness stand, but his additional diary reveals startling news. Dorsey felt he could accuse Frank without talking about blacks, but it became clear within hours that he was right. Black wanted to push through indictment by taking Jim Conley to a grand jury and allowing the jury to hear him, but Dorsey felt he could push through the indictment against Frank without Black's story. Dorsey had long meetings with blacks and detectives, from which his demographic report was compiled. Conley insisted on his story, even though detectives pointed out that Frank was behind it. He repeatedly swore he was telling the whole truth, so investigators thought he would never change his story. In his initial affidavit, James Conley said about four minutes before 1 a.m. Friday night before the bank holiday: At 12:00 a.m. Mr. Frank came down the aisle and asked me to come to his office. When he goes to his office, he asks, "Can I write?"
Mr. Frank gave the narrator a notepad and asked him to write on it. He then asked the narrator if he wanted cigarettes, and he pulled out a box containing $2.50 cigarettes, two paper dollars, and two quarters. The narrator asks him not to withdraw any money he owes to the keepers, but he refuses. He then asked the narrator to buy a car for his wife, which he didn't want. Investigators were delighted to learn that the author of the murder note, James Conley, was in custody. Handwriting experts testified that the writing on the note was Newt Lee's, but it wasn't until they obtained Conley's handwriting and a sample of the murder note that it was Conley's handwriting. did not notice. Suspicions grew that Conley himself might be the killer, and investigators put him through another test. The Black man was serious about the 3rd degree murder-related charges (i.e. manslaughter).

The State Board of Pardons and Paroles received a formal request for a posthumous pardon for Leo Frank in October 1982. The complaint was filed by the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Commission, and the Atlanta Jewish League, and was chaired by a panel of attorneys chaired by Atlanta immigration attorney Dale N. Schwartz. The Chamber of Commerce hopes to investigate the case with minimal outside pressure and publicity, and the plaintiffs have been working to file a pardon petition since Alonzo Mann gave his testimony. Dale Schwartz has publicly stated that the essence of seeking Leo Frank's pardon is to seek a formal rejection of anti-Semitism and bigotry, and to remove the obtrusive element to Georgia's history. Applicants are seeking a pardon based on additional legal concerns rather than the legality of Leo Frank's trial and conviction. The pardon effort, an AntiDefamation League staffer later stated, was not simply a matter of one person, not just the case of Leo Frank.
An official wrote the League's national The pardon effort for Leo Frank in the United States has been criticized for minimizing potential offense to blacks, repudiating prejudice against blacks and Jews, and reflecting Georgia's past as it reflected on the personal identity and regional pride of Georgians to do justice. The Atlanta Black Jewish Coalition has declared that they must seize this opportunity and the petition for pardon concluded, "Judgment, justice ye shall pursue." The pardon effort has been criticized for minimizing potential offense to blacks, repudiating prejudice against blacks and Jews, and reflecting Georgia's past as it reflected upon the personal identity and regional pride of Georgians to do justice. The petition for pardon concluded, "Judgment, justice ye shall pursue." Attorney Edgar Neely argued that the Georgia system of justice in 1913 impugned the reputation of its lawyers in general and particularly Frank's counsel. The leaders of the pardon effort responded at length, including outlining the new evidence of Alonzo Mann. Mobley Hall, chairman of the Amnesty and Parole Board at the time, weighed Mr Neely's claims.
He had four legal ways to acquit Leo Frank. Complexity by courts beginning with a governor's statement declaring Leo Frank not guilty, an order of the Georgia House of Representatives and/or Senate declaring Leo Frank not guilty, and an ad hoc motion for a retrial and pardon by the Georgia Commission procedure. Forgiveness and slogans. Governor Joseph Harris, District Attorney Louis Slayton, and the Georgia Senate all expressed sympathy for Leo Frank's efforts to acquit him and recommended that the Board of Pardons and Paroles seek a pardon. Petitioners began to think that a pardon would best meet the further legal purpose of Frank's acquittal and would be considered final by the public.

The head of the National Pencil Factory, Leo M. Frank, was taken to the police station and detained on charges related to the rape and murder of Mary Phagan. Slender and boyish in appearance, he was a weak and delicate man unlike the old black man Newt Lee, the young giant Gantt, or the former conductor Arthur Mullinax. He told jurors he was born in Paris, Texas, and moved to Brooklyn, New York, when he was three months old. He graduated from Cornell University in 1902 and received a draftman's position at the B. F. Stutevant Company of High Park, Massachusetts.
He then returned to Brooklyn and worked as an inspector, engineer and draftsman at the National Meter Company in Brooklyn, New York. Afterwards, he returned to America and soon headed south to Atlanta, where he married Miss Lucille Seelig. He spent most of his married life at his step-parents' house. E. Seelig, 68 East Georgia Ave. Frank was taken into custody by police shortly before noon on Tuesday at a pencil factory. The car, which left the police station with Pinkerton Agency Detective Harry Scott and City Police Department Detective John Black in it, returned within 10 minutes with Frank locked in a cell.
Chief of Detectives, Mr. Newport A. Ranford said he would be held in custody pending the results of a forensic examination. Frank's friends were outraged by his arrest and hired one of Atlanta's leading lawyers, Luther Z. Rosser, as their attorney. Public sentiment on Tuesday was the highest since the murders came to light as four suspects were identified. Suspicions about Mr. Gang Su and Mr. Mullen were already quickly fading. City investigators and Pinkerton's military searched the factory, the suspect's home, and the entire city for clues to the pencil factory.

The mystery surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan in the basement of the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta caused a sensation that not only lasted nine days but remained a mystery for months. On Monday morning, the day after the murder, the documents were seized by thousands and Arthur Malenax, a former tramman and friend of the dead girls, was arrested. Arthur Mullinax was working under E.L Sentell, an employee of the food company C.J. Camper, said he had known Mary Phagan for years and was sure she was the girl he saw on the street. Arthur Mullinax was briefly arrested by police and taken to the police station late Sunday night. Kirstintel clearly identified him as the man who was allegedly with Mary Phagan. The text's most important details are the two suspects arrested in the murder of Mary Phagan. J.M. Gantt was arrested in Marietta Monday morning and was known to be an acquaintance of Mary Phagan. His sister, Mrs. F.C. Terrell gave conflicting accounts of his move.
The morning after his arrest, Gant attempted to get out of prison by filing a writ of habeas corpus. On May 1, Mullinax was released after giving testimony at the coroner's autopsy based primarily on that of her fiancé Pearl Robinson. Gant was later called as a witness at the trial, but it turned out that Mullinax was so ignorant of the case that he was not even called as a witness. A key detail in the document is rumors that led to the arrest of former Atlanta boy Paul Bowen, who knew Mary Phagan. Police were reportedly assisted Monday after the murder, when it emerged that pencil factory authorities had asked local Pinkerton detectives to help track down the killer.
The coroner's jury was appointed after meeting with coroner Paul Donahue in the metal room of the pencil factory. Interesting findings of blood stains on the floor of the metal room led investigators to suspect that the Phagan girl had been murdered there, rather than in the basement as originally thought. One of them was due to be arrested within 24 hours.

Mary was a factory girl who worked hard from morning till night. For Memorial Day, she wanted to drive into town to see the Confederate Veterans Parade. She took the tram into town and met George Epps, a newspaperman who had always liked her. Later that night, George Epps ran to Mr. and Mrs. Phagan's house to find out why Mary had not met. Mary's stepfather, J.W. Coleman, went into town at Mrs. Coleman's request to see if she could find Mary where she would have gone to the Bijou Theater with her friends. He went to Bijou, waited for the show to end, looked at the faces of the people passing by, but never saw the face of the girl he was looking for. He returns to her home to comfort her grieving mother, thinking that Mary may have gone to Marietta's to visit her grandmother. The document's most important detail is the events leading up to the death of Phagan's neighbor Helen Ferguson. On Saturday, April 27th, there was a knock on the door of Phagan's home and news of Helen's death arrived.
Helen's eyes filled with sorrow and her lips could barely utter the terrible words she wanted to say. Her mother was leaning back on the sofa in her house and she lay there for days, unable to speak. Mr. Coleman rushed into town to see the body of the girl who had become more than a daughter to him in Bloomfield. When the mortician Will Gessling showed the body, the old man positively identified it. The most important detail of this text is the events leading up to Mary Phagan's death.
It is estimated that 20,000 people saw the remains during the company's stay, and hundreds saw them at a funeral in Marietta. Before the funeral, doctors conducted an examination of Mary Phagan's body, which was kept secret until the trial. On April 29, the body was buried in an old family cemetery in Marietta, Georgia, 32 miles from Atlanta. On May 7, the body was exhumed by order of the public prosecutor and a thorough examination of the stomach and other vital organs was carried out by doctors. H.F. Harris was implemented by the State Board of Health. What he found was known only to himself, a state agent, until he testified on the witness stand almost three months later.
