Mr. Leo Max Frank

One of the rarest, earliest and clearest vintage photos of Leo M. Frank taken nearly 72 hours after the murder of Mary Phagan by Press Photographer Mr. Price on Tuesday afternoon, April 28, 1913, at the Atlanta Police Station for the Atlanta Constitution newspaper. The brown tweed suit Leo Frank is wearing in the photo is the same one he wore to work on the day of the murder, Saturday, April 26, 1913. Sketches of this famous press photo were often used by numerous different newspapers across the national media landscape when they published reports about Leo Frank.

This portrait of Leo Frank is the front cover of the first noteworthy Leo Frank defense and partisan book ever published called, ‘The Truth About the Leo Frank Case’, by C.P. Connolly. This Leo Frank defense book was published in 1915 by former Montana Prosecutor and radical investigative journalist Christopher Powell Connolly (1863–1935). It’s the unabridged and greatly expanded version of a consolidated view taken from a collection of articles published in part from Collier’s Weekly and other pro Leo Frank sources. “I feel satisfied that the US Supreme Court will be moved to give us some relief” and “I receive a great deal of mail and many of the writers compliment your articles in Collier’s” Frank wrote on January 4, 1915, in a series of letters to C.P. Connolly. This book sent Firebrand Thomas Edward Watson and many Georgians into a rage, because it contradicted the Leo Frank Georgia Supreme Court Case File and the Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence, 1913.

What is the “Truth” about the Leo Frank Case? How does this book stand up to the primary sources of the Leo Frank Case? Why is Leo Frank holding a cigar vertically in his left hand, directly over his right inner thy at the groin region? How would Sigmund Freud have interpreted this picture? What is the significance of Leo Frank’s left hand? Read the Mary Phagan Autopsy Report to findout.

Also stylized as:

1. Leo Max Frank (the name chiseled on his tombstone within Mount Carmel Cemetery, Glendale, Queens, NY, Frank-Stern Family plot, grave site #2, official location ID: 1-E-41-1035-02),

The argument of Reuben Rose Arnold in PDF and OCR Text versions.

Argument of Reuben Rose Arnold at the Trial of Leo M. Frank (PDF version – Right mouse click and save as). The Trial of Leo Frank, Reuben R. Arnold’s Address to the Court on his Behalf in October 1913. Introduction by Alvin V. Sellers. Classic Publishing Co., Baxley GA. Copyright, 1915 by Alvin V. Sellers and The Trow Press, New York. Booklet format, 69 pages and published in 1915. Original booklets are extremely rare and difficult to find in good condition. This original was scanned and brought to you by the Leo Frank Research Archive (LeoFrank.org). Available here in Adobe PDF and OCR Text. A review of the Final Trial Statement concerning the Leo Frank Trial by Reuben Rose Arnold can be found on Internet Archive.

The OCR Text version of the October 1913 Argument of Reuben Rose Arnold is about 90 to 95% accurate due to the maturity issues of the scanning technology, the PDF provided above is a much better version and is a high resolution scan of the original booklet.

Please Note: The October 1913 speech is one given at a hearing on behalf of Leo Frank after the murder trial in an attempt to have the verdict of guilty set aside and a new trial issued by Judge Leonard Strickland Roan. The October 1913 speech is, not to be, but is often, confused with the late August 1913 criminal trial closing argument given to the Court and Jury by Reuben Arnold, the one where he first openly and publicly claims and makes the charge that if Leo Frank were not a Jew the trial to convict him would have never taken place.

The August 1913 (as opposed to the Oct 1913) speech by Reuben R. Arnold is available in Lawson’s American State Trials Volume X 1918. Most people get the two individual 1913 speeches confused (August trial vs. October post trial), including prominent authors of Leo Frank books and articles.

The month long Leo Frank trial, for the murder of Mary Phagan, took place from July 28, 1913 to Aug 26, 1913. The trial testimony and questions were captured as a stenographic record, in total, numbered approximately 1,080,060 words (Phagan Kean, 1989), in a 7 volume set, on over 3,647 pages of legal cap paper (Rosser, Bass, 1914). Alas, it went missing from the Georgia State Archives in the 1960’s (Oney, 2003; Georgia State Archivist Mr. Smith, 2010), around the time Harry Golden and Leonard Dinnerstein were studying the case. However, the Brief of Evidence 1913, and most of the official legal documents there after, from 1913 to 1915, during the appeals survived (thank goodness), most of which are available exclusively for the time being in this archive. We hope these documents exclusive to our web site, will slowly find their way onto other online libraries and archives.

The Entire Surviving Leo Frank Case Official Records Number More Than 3,000 Pages

The surviving official records of the Leo Frank trial and appeals are more than 3,000 pages in total. Within the entire 1,800+ pages of the 1913/1914 Georgia State Supreme Court Archive of Leo Frank Case legal documents collection, is: The Fulton County Superior Court, July 1913 Term, Official Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence (318 pages) capturing the Leo M. Frank murder trial testimony (July 28 to August 26 1913) for the strangulation of Mary Phagan, but not the questions. Atlanta’s three major local newspapers, published accounts of the trial questions as well as the answers, enabling the possibility of a very interesting project, to re-create an abridged version of the trial transcript (Completion Date: 2015). The Georgia Supreme Court records, have the most salient portions of the transcript, including Jim Conley’s testimony and these 1,800 pages will eventually be OCR formatted for searching (Completion Date: 2014).

The 1913 Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence is the Final Arbiter

Within the 3,000 pages of the surviving Leo Frank case documents is the single most important document pertaining to the Leo Frank case. It’s long official name is known as: The State of Georgia vs. Leo Frank. Leo M. Frank, Plaintiff in Error vs. State of Georgia, Defendant in Error. In Error from Fulton Superior Court, July Term 1913. Brief of Evidence, 1913. This 318 page document was ratified by three groups, the presiding trial judge Leonard Strickland Roan (Luther Rosser’s former law partner), members of the Leo Frank defense team, and State of Georgia’s Atlanta Prosecution team (Lead by Hugh M. Dorsey). This precious document contains the official record of the witness trial testimony and evidence, but not the questions (See: Leo Frank Newspaper section for the trial transcript).

The Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence and Exhibits (BOE): July 28 to August 21, 1913

This fascinating brief is one of the most sought after official trial records in the legal history of the United States of America, from one of the most infamous, controversial, contentious, scandalous and sensational criminal trials of the 20th century. There is only one physical copy surviving today, and it is securely locked up deep in the vault at the Georgia State Archive (Smith, 2010) and is not available for public viewing. However, copies of the BOE have been made into microfilm, but are difficult to come by, as they are limited in number and are no longer produced by the Georgia State Archive since funding ran out, fortunately there are reasonable alternatives to acquiring and reviewing these dry leaves. There are surviving copies of the BOE in several major libraries around the United States, be we are proud to present it’s original scanned pages in both full color, and gray scale.

97 Years of Elusiveness and Jewish Censorship Comes to an End in 2010

Why are these documents so important to the public? There was a time these elusive records were mostly only available to coke-bottle bespectacled researchers for the last century, and the public would have to take the word of Jewish-American authors about the Leo Frank mythology they created, because the average person was simply not going to go through the trouble of tracking down these primary sources, to read them, sift them and apply commonsense, but today with the click of a button people can access these items effortlessly.

The 21st Century Challenge to every human being alive who can comprehend the English language on a highschool level, all the way up to Ph.D. level, did the Jewish-American’s who wrote about this case from 1956 to 1913, commit conspicious omissions, fabrications, and fraud, or not?

So, now is the time to go, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, page by page, and book by book, to unravel the most disgusting centarian campaign in American history by tribal extremist Jews community, over the last 100 years (1913 to 2013), to falsify the records and events of this well documented legal case.

The Leo Frank trial was the first time in United States History a defendant made delicious irony with a virtual murder confession at his own murder trial trial (Most People Don’t Know This Fact).

Leo M. Frank, Plaintiff in Error, vs. State of Georgia, Defendant in Error. In Error from Fulton Superior Court at the July Term 1913. Brief of Evidence 1913.

The 1913 Brief of Evidence reveals three murder confessions given by Leo Frank, two privately on Saturday, April 26, 1913, and one publicly on August 18, 1913. A fourth Leo Frank admission that amounted to a murder confession was published by the Atlanta Constitution on March 9, 1914.

The first Leo Frank murder confession was given by Leo Frank to Jim Conley between Noon and 1:00PM on April 26, 1913.

The second Leo Frank murder confession was given by Leo Frank to Lucille S. Frank on the evening of April 26, 1913 in their bed chamber. Leo Frank was stone cold drunk and said to his wife, he didn’t know why he would murder and he called for his pistol, so he could blow his brains out. He made Lucille Sleep on the floor. See the Earth Shattering: State’s Exhibit J.

The third Leo Frank murder confession was given on August 18, 1913, when Leo Frank told a stunned Jury he might have “unconsciously” gone to the bathroom in the metal room (see states exhibit A) to counter Monteen Stover’s testimony that Leo Frank’s office was empty between 12:05 and 12:10. It was an ironically shocking admission, because the State had spent 29 days trying to prove Leo Frank murdered Mary Phagan in the metal room between 12:05 and 12:10. Now Compare the testimony of Leo Frank, Monteen Stover and Leo Frank’s State’s Exhibit B. State’s Exhibit A, shows that the ONLY bathroom on the second floor was in the metal room. Now read the testimony given at the Coroner’s Inquest in the Journal, Georgian and Constitution.

Leo Frank had just made another virtual murder confession? True, False, Maybe, Sorta?

The Atlanta Constitution March 9th, 1914, there is an interview with Leo Frank where he affirms his murder confession number 3.

The Centennials: Please Promote the Leo Frank Library Archive

Please help promote our massive Leo Frank archive web site http://www.LeoFrank.org between April 26, 2013 and August 17, 1915, to remember the 100th anniversary of the tragic bludgeoning, rape and strangulation of Mary Anne Phagan (1899 to 1913), and hanging of Leo Max Frank (1884 to 1915).

After reading these three local Atlanta Georgia newspapers from 1913 to 1915, it is time for you to decide the truth, first as the Judge and Jury, and secondly, then as the Georgia Supreme Court Justices, to determine whether or not, the verdict rendered against Leo Frank on August 25, 1913, by the jury & August 26, 1913, by the judge, was correct and should stand:

First Step:

1. You are now the Judge and Jury, read the official Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence from beginning to end, sifting it and pass your verdict. Would you leave the verdict of the jury and judge undisturbed?

Second Step:

2. You are now the Georgia Supreme Court, read the Leo Frank Supreme Court Records in either individual images or PDF, from beginning to end, sifting it and pass your verdict. Would you leave the verdict of the jury and judge undisturbed?
