The Knights of Mary Phagan (2015) – IMDb

Prerelease predictions about the “Knights of Mary Phagan” made in January 2015:

Without knowing anything about the script of the movie, we are making the following psychic predictions of what “Knights of Mary Phagan” will be all about.

1. The Knights of Mary Phagan Hollywood movie will grotesquely exaggerate the Leo Frank trial by transforming the proceedings into a kangaroo court mockery of injustice favoring the racist Jewish Supremacist narrative that Leo Frank was innocent and framed by anti-Semitic Gentile Southerners. However in real life: The presiding Judge Leonard Strickland Roan rejected Leo Frank’s appeal for a new trial on 107 grounds! The Georgia Supreme Court’s appeals records indicate Leo Frank not only had had a fair trial, but the evidence (especially Leo Frank’s statement to the jury) easily proved his guilt well beyond a reasonable doubt. The majority decision of the Georgia Supreme Court ruled Leo Frank had a fair trial. Every level of the United States System of Justice rejected Leo Frank’s frivolous appeals. When the corrupt Governor John Slaton commuted Leo Frank’s death sentence to life in prison on June 21, 1915, Slaton stated on the last page of his official clemency order that he was sustaining the judge, jury and appellate tribunals. When the Georgia Board of Pardon’s and Paroles issued Leo Frank a posthumous pardon on March 11, 1986, they stated so that, “Without attempting to address the question of guilt or innocence,” thus officially he was not absolved of his conviction for the Phagan murder.

2. The Knights of Mary Phagan Hollywood movie will omit the fact that Leo Frank, while seated on the witness-stand changed the murder alibi he had maintained for 3.5 months, and supposed himself in the metal-room bathroom using the men’s toilet at the back of the second floor, suggesting an explanation of why Monteen Stover found his business office unoccupied by him between 12:05 p.m. and 12:10 p.m., which is at the exact same time he had formerly claimed to Atlanta police that he was alone with Mary Phagan in his office. (see testimony of Monteen Stover, Leo Frank’s retort on the witness stand about an “unconscious” visit to the men’s toilet)

3. The Knights of Mary Phagan Hollywood movie will fail to inform the viewer that Governor John M. Slaton was senior law partner and co-owner of the lawfirm that represented Leo Frank at his summer of 1913 trial. Governor Slaton’s lawfirm was officially known as, ‘Rosser, Brandon (Jewish), *Slaton* and Phillips (Jewish)’ and that Slaton earned a full 25% share of all the money made during Leo Frank’s expensive trial and appeals.

4. The Knights of Mary Phagan Hollywood movie will fail to mention that: 1. Leo Frank told Atlanta police on Sunday morning, April 27, 1913, that Mary Phagan had entered his office at 12:03 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, 1913 – the day of the murder. The movie will also fail to mention that: 2. Leo Frank changed the time of Phagan’s arrival to “12:05 to 12:10pm, maybe 12:07pm”, in a deposition he made to Atlanta police at the Stationhouse on Monday morning, April 28, 1913 (State’s Exhibit B, 1913, Atlanta Constitution, August 2nd, 1913). The movie will also fail to mention that: 3. Leo Frank changed the time Mary Phagan had arrived at his office to 12:10 p.m. when he testified under oath at the Coroner’s inquest May 5th, 1913 and May 8th, 1913. Finally the movie will fail to mention that: 4. Leo Frank changed the time Mary Phagan had arrived to his office at 12:12 p.m. to 12:17 p.m. when he testified to the jury from the witness stand.

5. The Knights of Mary Phagan Hollywood movie will fail to show the Atlanta Police found a forged blood-soaked shirt planted at Newt Lee’s shack in a burn barrel at the side of his residence that was meant to railroad the innocent Negro Nightwatchman that the racist Leo Frank tried to frame. The movie will fail to show that on Sunday, April 27, 1913, Leo Frank told Atlanta police that Newt Lee’s time card was punched perfectly every half hour on the evening of the murder, but on Monday April 28, 1913, Leo Frank told Atlanta police that Newt Lee missed 4 punches on his timecard slip, meaning there were 4 hours of unaccounted for time on Lee’s card (see: Defendant Exhibit A, Leo Frank trial brief of evidence, 1913).

6. The Knights of Mary Phagan Hollywood movie will transform the men who hanged Leo Frank into ravenous hot-headed, wild-eyed, booger eating hillbillies, dressed like redneck gummo toothless hayseed farmers with manure stained overalls, instead of the calm and deliberate elite men they were in real life, dressed in jackets and ties, including a former governor who was amongst the lynchers. See the lynching page for a member list of the lynch party.

7. The Knights of Mary Phagan Hollywood movie will make a mockery of legal history and falsify the testimony at the trial based on the brief of evidence to make it seem like Leo Frank was convicted without evidence. The movie will lie by omission. The trial will be a Jewish manufactured carnival of anti-Gentilism dishonoring Georgia jurisprudence and the official record.

8. The Knights of Mary Phagan Hollywood movie will transform Leo Frank from the real life sadistic and violent pedophile, into a misunderstood nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn, railroaded by racist Southerners.

9. The Knights of Mary Phagan Hollywood movie will transform the Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey, the lead prosecutor of Leo Frank, to be an unscrupulous and ambitious political climber – just as Hollywood did in the racist anti-Gentile 1988 miniseries ‘The Murder of Little Mary Phagan’.

10. The Knights of Mary Phagan Hollywood movie will portray mobs outside the courtroom swarming into a KKK carnival of racist anti-Semitic Hate frenzies with people shouting death threats and anti-Jewish hate-speech Mantras (see: The Leonard Dinnerstein and Abraham Foxman hatecrime hoax).

11. The Knights of Mary Phagan Hollywood movie will over play race cards, and promote anti-Christian, anti-Gentile, anti-White and Anti-Southern stereotypes implicitly and overtly.

More predictions to come…. In the mean time visit IMDB to learn about this vicious Hollywood hate movie coming out this Autumn 2015: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3109010/

Dear New Students of the Frank-Phagan Case,

The New Georgia Encyclopedia (NGE) with a disingenuous mask of academic legitimacy, openly falsifies the facts surrounding the principals and events associated with the 1913 murder of Mary Phagan and trial of Leo Frank. Their efforts appear to be part of a much broader Jewish Evolutionary Strategy (JES) propaganda campaign brought against European-Americans in an effort to guilt, shame and uproot White Gentiles away from any cultural or ethnic tendencies of solidarity, simply because some of their counterparts suspected, indicted, convicted and sentenced a Jewish serial pedophile to capital punishment for raping and strangling a 13 year old girl. For more than a century, well organized Jewish communities have continued to use the Frank-Phagan case as a deracinating morality tale against Gentiles, but it’s back-firing now that the official legal records of the Leo Frank trial and appeals have been published online at various Internet libraries. In order to redress the generations of falsified history, our research library is vigorously encouraging students and scholars to study Jewish evolutionary strategy (Kevin MacDonald) and draw parallels with it in conjunction to how Jewry has transformed the Leo Frank case into mawkish cultural phenomena and racist anti-Gentile mythologies.  Students of the Frank-Phagan case making the public aware of the malicious re-writing of history is a first step forward in bringing the truth to Americans.

Letter Writing Campaign

The Leo Frank research library is looking for independent research students to recruit a small dedicated group of people who will organize a professional letter writing campaign for the purpose of calmly contacting the New Georgia Encyclopedia (NGE) by snail-mail and email. By means of appeal to reason and politely pointing out all the errors and lies by omission that are being used by NGE to poison the minds of Georgia’s children and perpetuate Frank-Phagan case falsehoods amongst adults. For those interested in this scholarly effort please study the primary sources of the Frank-Phagan case at our library, and then carefully fact check the NGE web site to put together a list of items together, with the expressed purpose of contacting them about. The only way this effort would have even a fighting chance to succeed is by being calm, polite, fairmindedness and making appeals to reason in our direct communication with NGE.

1. “The degree of anti-Semitism involved in Frank’s conviction and subsequent lynching is difficult to assess, but it was enough of a factor to have inspired Jews, and others, throughout the country to protest the conviction of an innocent man.”

Yet, every level of the United States legal system, all the way up to the United States Supreme Court twice, in their majority and unanimous decisions denied Leo Frank’s appeals, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled Leo Frank had a fair trial and that the evidence of his trial sustained a guilty verdict. In 1986 the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles posthumously pardoned Leo Frank on a technicality without officially absolving him of the Phagan murder.

2. “One of the policemen knew the girl and identified her”.

Wrong, it was the nephew of officer W.W. “Boots” Rogers, named Grace Hicks who first identified the body of Mary Phagan, not the police.

3. “Frank claimed to have been in his office for about twenty minutes or more after Phagan left the previous day”.

No, Leo Frank said he was in his office every minute from noon to 12:45 p.m., that was his alibi for 3.5 months after his arrest on April 28, 1913, but at his trial, when he was seated on the witness stand August 18, 1913, Leo Frank said he might have unconsciously gone to the bathroom in the metal room to explain why his office was empty between 12:05pm and 12:10pm (also see Monteen Stover’s trial testimony).

Leo Frank seated on the witness stand at his trial Monday afternoon August 18, 1913:

Now, gentlemen, to the best of my recollection from the time the
whistle blew for twelve o’clock until after a quarter to one when I went
up stairs and spoke to Arthur White and Harry Denham, to the best of
my recollection, I did not stir out of the inner office; but it is possible that
in order to answer a call of nature or to urinate I may have gone to the
toilet. Those are things that a man does unconsciously and cannot tell
how many times nor when he does it. Now, sitting in my office at my
desk, it is impossible for me to see out into the outer hall when the safe
door is open, as it was that morning, and not only is it impossible for me
to see out, but it is impossible for people to see in and see me there.

This time segment the same period he told police months earlier (State’s Exhibit B, Monday, April 28, 1913; Atlanta Constitution August 2nd, 1913) Mary was in his office with him between 12:05 p.m. and 12:10 p.m.

Excerpt from Leo Frank’s deposition, April 28, 1913:

The office boy and the stenographer were in the office
with me until noon. They left about 12 or a little after. We have a day
watchman there. He left shortly before 12 o’clock. After the office boy
and the stenographer left, this little girl, Mary Phagan, came in, but at
the time I didn’t know that was her name. She came in between 12:05
and 12:10, maybe 12:07, to get her pay envelope, her salary.

The prosecution built its case that Leo Frank murdered Mary Phagan in the metal room shortly after she arrived at about noontime. Jim Conley said he found Mary Phagan dead in the metal room’s bathroom after Leo Frank confessed to him about assaulting her there because she wouldn’t have sex with him (Frank).

4. “Another young factory worker who had come shortly afterward to collect her pay stated that Frank was not in sight when she arrived. She waited a few minutes and then left”.

The girl was Monteen Stover, and she specifically said she had gone to Franks office, waiting between 12:05pm and 12:10pm and found it unoccupied, not a few minutes, but 5 full minutes, this was the exact same time Frank said he was alone with Mary in his office (States Exhibit b), but on the witness stand Frank said he was in the metal room’s bathroom, the bathroom is the place where Jim Conley claimed to have found the dead body of Phagan. All things considered, isn’t that a bit incriminating?

5. “The night watchman, another early suspect in the case, told police that Frank called later in the day to see if everything was all right, which he had never done before. On the basis of this evidence Frank was arrested”.

This half-truth and lie by omission is part of the racist Jewish supremacist narrative that the cops arrested Leo Frank on scant evidence. Frank was arrested after he told the police on Sunday, April 27, 1913 at 8:26 a.m., that Newt Lees time card was punched perfectly every half hour, but on Monday, April 28, 1913, Frank told police that Newt Lee had missed 4 punches, giving Lee, 4 hours of unaccounted for time. This forged time card was submitted at the Leo Frank trial as Defendant’s Exhibit A. Police also found a forged bloody shirt at Newt Lees home and felt that it had been planted there to Frame Newt Lee, Because the Phagan murder notes also pointed to Newt Lee as the culprit. The murder notes described Newt Lee’s description perfectly. (see “Phagan death notes”)

6. “The police thereafter collected more “evidence” before deciding to put Frank on trial.”

This assertion is falsely insinuating that the evidence against frank was weak. Hair soaked in dried blood was found tangled around the handle of a lathe in the metal room, and a 5 inch wide blood stain was found on the floor in the metal room next to the metalroom’s toilet entryway. Former child laborers employed at the factory had stated that Frank was sexually harassing them, and that he knew definitely knew Mary Phagan by name. Leo Frank claimed he didnt know his employee Mary Phagan by name, which we know is likely false, since he paid her salary 52 times, for more than 2700 hours of labor. Also, Mary Phagan worked on the same Floor as Leo Frank and to reach the toilets Frank would have to pass by her work station. Leo Frank also told Pinkerton Detective Harry Scott that Mary Phagan had been sexually active with James Gantt, how could Frank know something so intimate about a girl he claimed he did not know?

7. “The Trial Based mainly on the testimony of the janitor, who had been held in seclusion for six weeks before the trial on orders from Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey, the jury convicted the defendant”.

False, The trial at the time was the longest and most expensive in Southern history, numerous witnesses testified and gave incriminating evidence against Frank. It was Monteen Stover who caused Leo Frank to change his alibi, an alibi Leo Frank maintained for 3.5 months. As discussed above, Leo Frank made an incriminating statement on the witness stand, August 18, 1913, saying he unconsciously went to the bathroom in the metal room, at the time he formerly told police he was alone with Mary Phagan. And Leo Frank before the trial claimed he never left his office between noon and 12:45pm.

8. “They also allowed evidence to be introduced suggesting that Frank had many dalliances with girls, and perhaps boys, in his employ”.

It was Leo Frank’s defense team who brought up the issue of his character first, opening the door for prosecutor Dorsey to challenge his reputation. Not the other way around.

9. “The Governor’s Decision. When all the court appeals had been exhausted, Frank’s attorneys sought a commutation from Georgia governor John M. Slaton.”

Why haven’t you mention that Governor John M. Slaton was part owner and senior law partner of the law firm that represented Leo Frank at his trial, the law group was called, ‘Rosser, Brandon, Slaton and Phillips’. Basically Slaton commuted the death sentence of his own law client. This law firm formed in early July 1913, weeks before the Leo Frank trial began. Isn’t that a conflict of interest? A part owner of the lawfirm representing Leo Frank at his trial, commuting the death sentence of its client?!? Is that not a gross betrayal of the Governor’s power to commute a convicted murderer’s death sentence?

10. “Slaton reviewed more than 10,000 pages of documents, visited the pencil factory where the murder had taken place, and finally decided that Frank was innocent.”

Wrong, the last page of Slatons 29-page commutation letter, Slaton says he is sustaining the verdict of the judge, jury and appeals courts, he says nothing about thinking Leo Frank is innocent. In fact he never says during in his entire life that he thought Leo was innocent. Also Slaton’s 29-page clemency order, conveniently disregarded the testimony of Monteen Stover, despite the Leo Frank defense, prosecution and judge ratifying the trial brief of evidence containing Stover’s testimony. What we might ask today is why have the vast majority of books left out Stover’s testimony and Leo Frank’s ineluctably incriminating response to it about an “unconscious” toilet visit?

11. “Conclusion, The Frank case not only was a miscarriage of justice but also symbolized many of the South’s fears at that time.”

Wrong, it was not a miscarriage of justice. Frank had a fair trial according to the trial judge and appeals courts. A pedophile pounded in the face of a 13-year old girl with his fists, before raping and strangling her, a Coroner’s inquest voted 7 to 0 (Coroner + 6 jurymen) against Leo Frank binding him over to a grandjury, the grandjury voted 22 to 0 (Judge + 21 grandjurymen) indicting Leo Frank of murder and finally the longest and most expensive trial at the time convicts Leo Frank 13 to 0 (Judge +12 jurors). Was there a miscarriage of justice when 42 people unanimously voted against Frank before his appeals? Was there a miscarriage of Justice when every level of the United States legal system left Leo Frank’s verdict of guilt undisturbed? Was it a miscarriage of justice when Governor Slaton said on page 29 of his commutation order he was sustaining the judge, jury and appellate courts? Was it a miscarriage of justice when the Georgia board of Pardons and Paroles refused to officially absolve Leo Frank of his guilt, when they issued him a pardon (re: without addressing his innocence or guilt)? Your falsely rendered conclusion based on the misrepresentation of Slaton’s commutation order is wrong and more broadly goes against every level of the United States system of justice from 1913 to 1986. Officially Leo Frank is still guilty and the evidence contained within the 1800 page Georgia Supreme Court records sustains his guilt.

“South’s fears at the time”

You are suggesting the natural fears that parents have of sending their pre-teen and teenage daughters and sons to work in the factory sweatshops of early 20th century America, as symbolizing why Leo Frank “did not receive justice”, but a “miscarriage of justice” – is truly grotesque on its face.

12. Frank’s Jewish identity compounded southern resentment toward him, as latent anti-Semitic sentiments.

False, the fact that Leo Frank was a German Jew, and a prominent one at that, helped him more than it hurt him. Jews had never or scarcely been known to commit such heinous crimes of sadistic violence. Moreover, Jews were considered White in the South, and held in high regard, because they were generally considered upstanding and law abiding people. Many Jewish factory owners had created hundreds of jobs for Southerners, including those who founded the National Pencil Company, even if the working conditions were far from ideal.

Why in your sources, do you not include, the murder of Mary Phagan by Mary Phagan Kean? But every other biased pro-Leo Frank source is included. You are poisoning the minds of children, teenagers, college students and adults with your biased “Encyclopedia”. An encyclopedia is supposed to be balanced and unbiased, instead you are using yours as a racist anti-Gentile and anti-Southern propaganda tool.

More Disinformation Sourced / Referenced by New Georgia Encyclopedia.

“This Day in Georgia History, May 05, 1913, Leo Frank Defended, Lemmie Quinn, foreman of Mary Phagan’s work area at the National Pencil Factory, testified he saw Leo Frank the Saturday of the murder and that all was perfectly normal. Furthermore he knew Frank well and was certain that he was not guilty of the murder. But detectives accused him of accepting a bribe from Frank to make those statements, an accusation Quinn firmly denied.”

http://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/thisday/gahistory/05/05/leo-frank-defended

I call upon the New Georgia Encyclopedia to review the Coroner’s inquest in the Atlanta Constitution, Georgian and Journal, May, 1913, at www.Archive.org Internet Archive.

Lemmie Quinn signed an affidavit one week before the Coroner’s Inquest (State’s Exhibit S) stating he had gone to play billiards after he left the NPCo factory at a quarter to one (11:45 a.m.), and he does not ever mention coming back to the factory. Lemmie Quinn had been caught redhanded lying about coming back to the factory at 12:20pm to speak with Leo Frank. When the Coroner asked Leo Frank why he waited a week to bring forward this critical alibi witness to the police, Leo Frank said he wanted to wait for his lawyers permission first. The Coroner was incredulous as to be expected. Is this the behavior of an innocent man? What innocent man accused of murdering a child would wait a week to bring forward an alibi witness with the excuse he wanted his lawyers permission first (see: Leo Frank trial brief of evidence, State’s Exhibit S, 1913).

More Distortions Sourced / Referenced by New Georgia Encyclopedia:

“Leo Frank Trial Day 19, Frank Testified…. SNIP…. He said Mary came in for her pay soon after 12:00 noon on April 26th, returned a few minutes later to ask if the shipment of metal had arrived (Phagan’s job was putting metal tips on pencils), then left his office and he never saw her alive again. He worked on a financial report that afternoon, then went home. Frank said that Jim Conley’s testimony was all lies, and that he never saw Conley that day. Frank concluded by answering those who had questioned why he wouldn’t talk to the police or press: “Some newspaper man has called me ‘the silent man in the Tower.’ Gentlemen, this is the time and here is the place! I have told you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”

http://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/thisday/gahistory/08/18/leo-frank-trial-day-19-frank-testified

Mary came for her pay soon after twelve noon?! Are you sure? because Leo Frank gave four different times concerning when Mary had arrived at his office.

1. On Sunday, April 27, 1913, Leo Frank told police, Mary Phagan had arrived in his office at 12:03pm.

2. On Monday, April 28, 1913, Leo Frank made a deposition at the station house to police in the presence of his lawyers, saying Mary Phagan arrived in his office “between 12:05 to 12:10pm, maybe 12:07pm”

3. On May 5th and 8th, Leo Frank told the Coroner’s Inquest, Mary Phagan arrived around 12:10 to 12:15pm,

4. At the trial Leo Frank stated to the jury Mary Phagan arrived at 12:12pm to 12:17pm.

So which is it New Georgia Encyclopedia?

Mary’s job was putting rubber erasers into the brass caps of pencils, not putting metal tips on pencils.

Leo Frank left out, “And Nothing but the truth” part, I wonder why you falsely added that part? And why did Leo Frank leave out that part? (see Leo Frank trial statement, August 18, 1913, Leo Frank trial brief of evidence). Check the official record documents, Leo Frank never said “And Nothing But the Truth”. Why did every witness at the trial say those words except Leo Frank?

Dec 6th, 2014, a second letter was written to the Georgia Encyclopedia from another writer, asking for explanations.

DESCRIPTIONS OF ERRORS

1. The degree of anti-Semitism involved in Frank’s conviction and subsequent lynching is difficult to assess, but it was enough of a factor to have inspired Jews, and others, throughout the country to protest the conviction of an innocent man.

2. On April 26, 1913, Mary Phagan, the child of tenant farmers who had moved to Atlanta for financial gain.

3. “went to the pencil factory to pick up her $1.20 pay for the twelve hours she had worked that week”

4. A young factory girl had been brutally murdered; rumors spread that she had been sexually assaulted before her death.

5. “One of the policemen knew the girl and identified her.”

6. Frank claimed to have been in his office for about twenty minutes or more after Phagan left the previous day.

7. Another young factory worker who had come shortly afterward to collect her pay stated that Frank was not in sight when she arrived. She waited a few minutes and then left.

8. The police thereafter collected more “evidence” before deciding to put Frank on trial.

9. The Trial “Based mainly on the testimony of the janitor,”

10. Frank’s attorneys sought a commutation from Georgia governor John M. Slaton.

11. Slaton reviewed more than 10,000 pages of documents, visited the pencil factory where the murder had taken place, and finally decided that Frank was innocent. He commuted the sentence, however, to life imprisonment, assuming that Frank’s innocence would eventually be fully established and he would be set free.

12. Conclusion: The Frank case not only was a miscarriage of justice but also symbolized many of the South’s fears at that time. Workers resented being exploited by northern factory owners who had come south to reorganize a declining agrarian economy. Frank’s Jewish identity compounded southern resentment toward him, as latent anti-Semitic sentiments, inflamed by Tom Watson, became more pronounced. Editorials and commentaries in newspapers all over the United States supporting a new trial for Frank and/or claiming his innocence reinforced the beliefs of many outraged Georgians, who saw in them the attempt of Jews to use their money and influence to undermine justice.

13. Why don’t you use more balanced sources? Why only sources biased in Frank’s behalf?

Suggested Corrections to be Made:

1. Your comments about anti-Semitism are false and so are the claims he was suspected, indicted and convicted because of the common Jewish narrative about wide spread anti-Semitism in the South. This is a racist anti-White suggestion that race or religious prejudice railroaded Leo Frank. This is stated to distort the Leo Frank case on his behalf. No one is denying there weren’t black-white biases in the old south, but the Jewish-Gentile bias was virtually non-existent (Lindemann, Albert, (1991) Three Jews Accused).

2. Did you ever consider that Phagan’s family moved to Atlanta for a better life, other than for just “financial gain”? Did you have to put it in such terms “financial gain”? They were a family of poor tenant farmers, struggling to survive, doesn’t it seem they would strive to find a better life, other than for just Dinnerstein’s callous description “financial gain”. Most tenant farmers who moved to the city did so in the hopes for a higher quality of life.

3. If you look in the May, 1913, Atlanta Constitution newspaper issues, during the Coroner’s Inquest, you can see that a former paymaster, James Milton Gantt, said Mary Phagan’s normal wage was $4.05 for 55 hours, which is 7.5 cents an hour, not 10 cents as you have cited. The Atlanta Constitution newspaper reports from 1913 about the Frank-Phagan case, are on The Internet Archive (www.Archive.org).

4. Why do you say rumors? The undertaker and physicians that inspected her body, found her underwear torn open across the vagina and soaked with blood and discharge, and evidence of rape was testified about at the trial. Is this another anti-Semitic conspiracy theory when initially the physicians found evidence of rape? Are you basically trying to say the medical investigators were lying? spreading false rumors? Phagan’s underwear was ripped open across the vagina all the way to the right seem and examining doctors found evidence of violence inside the vagina, was the perpetrator just playing peek-a-boo? The con artist and pseudo-historian Leonard Dinnerstein is one of the only Frankites who claims Mary Phagan wasn’t raped.

5. One of the policeman did NOT know the girl and did NOT identify her, it was a police officer W.W. “Boots” Rodger’s niece, Grace Hicks who first identified the body of Mary Phagan.

6. Frank claimed he was in his office from NOON (12:00 p.m. to 12:45 p.m.) not 20 minutes as you claim. In the Leo Frank trial brief of evidence, you can read what he says about this fact.

7. Why don’t you say her name is Monteen Stover, and that she said 5 minutes Frank was out of his office, not a “few minutes”.  You are falsifying the Leo Frank trial brief of evidence State’s Exhibit B, Leo Frank’s deposition to Atlanta police at the stationhouse. Monteen Stover said she arrived in Leo Frank’s office at 12:05 p.m. and waited 5 minutes and then left at 12:10 p.m., because Frank’s office was empty, thus she was unable to collect her pay. Why are you also leaving out that Leo Frank made an unsworn deposition to the Atlanta Police, where he said Mary Phagan was in his office with him between 12:05 p.m. and 12:10 p.m.? Why did you leave out State’s Exhibit B from the Leo Frank trial? You can read the full interrogation / deposition in the August 2nd, 1913 issue of the Atlanta Constitution where it was republished (Internet Archive).

8. If you are going to put “quotes” around the word evidence, why don’t you at least tell us what that evidence is if you’re going to suggest it’s false, hollow or empty. Where is your mention of the death notes found next to Phagan’s body? What about the blood soaked shirt planted at Newt Lee’s home in his garbage burn barrel, which was a failed attempt to frame him? How about the evidence that on Sunday, April 27, 1913, Leo Frank told police Newt Lee had punched his time card perfectly every half hour on the evening of the murder, but the next day, Monday, April 28, 1913, Leo Frank told the police that Newt Lee didn’t punch his timecard perfectly every 30 minutes, and that Lee missed 4 hours worth of punches. Why don’t you mention this forged time card incident, its available for the world to see: Leo Frank’s defendant exhibit A in the Leo Frank trial brief of evidence.

9. Why don’t you mention Monteen Stover’s testimony in the Atlanta Constitution in May 1913, and at the trial July 31st, 1913: about Leo Frank being missing from his office for five minutes, between 12:05 p.m. and 12:10p.m. on the day of the murder? The exact time Leo Frank said Mary Phagan was alone with him in his office is also left out of your retelling, Why? Why don’t you mention that Leo Frank said he went to the bathroom in the metal room during this unaccounted for time at the trial? Why did you leave this critical evidence out of your retelling?

10. Why don’t you mention that on page 29 of the commutation ordered by John Slaton, that Slaton says he is SUSTAINING the verdict of guilt by the Judge, Jury etc… Why dont you mention that Slaton was senior partner in the lawfirm that represented Leo Frank at his trial in July/august 1913. The lawfirm “Rosser, Brandon, *Slaton* and Phillips” represented Leo Frank during his trial and appeals. Is there a reason you left this detail out of your retelling? Is there a reason why you left out this gross conflict of interest in your retelling of the Leo Frank case?

11. Show me one official document or newspaper article before Slaton’s death in 1955, quoting Slaton saying he thought Leo Frank was innocent. In fact why dont you read the last page of Slaton’s 29-page commutation order and tell everyone what it says.

12. Your conclusion is false, it’s racist anti-White, anti-Southern, anti-Christian, anti-Gentile hate what you are perpetuating. You are using this article to promote racist hate, prejudice, bigotry and lies against the South and Gentiles.

13. Your entire article uses biased sources, that are clearly on Frank’s side, you never bothered to use more balanced sources. Read the one star review about all of Leonard Dinnerstein’s books, so you can learn about his racist anti-Gentile and anti-Southern pathological lying.

What the reader wants to know New Georgia Encyclopedia is this:

Where is the evidence about Mary Phagan’s hair being found in the metal room, and blood on the floor, also found in the metal room next to the bathroom door?

Finally, Did you know that Leo Frank told the jury he might have “unconsciously” gone to the bathroom in the metal room during his trial statement to the jury? (Leo Frank trial brief of evidence, page 186, 1913) This was his way of accounting for his office being empty when Monteen Stover arrived and found it empty at a time Frank said he was there with Mary Phagan (State’s Exhibit B). Why did you leave this evidence out of your retelling? Why did you leave out the fact that the State’s case was built on the theory that Leo Frank murdered Mary Phagan in the metal room? Why did you leave out the testimony of Jim Conley where he states he found Mary Phagan dead in the metal room bathroom after Leo Frank admitted to him about assaulting her?

Your Sources for correct information?

Is ‘Academic Dishonesty’ Leonard Dinnerstein’s Middle Name?

First of all, Leonard Dinnerstein is a bigoted anti-Southern academic parasite, perverted intellectual and pseudo-historian, who has been caught red handed falsifying the official Leo Frank trial brief of evidence, suppressing testimony and generally turning the case of Mary Phagan’s murder and Leo Frank trial into a racist anti-Gentile hate crime hoax.

In your references, you use only pro-Leo-Frank sources, how about using the Murder of Mary Phagan by Mary Phagan Kean as a source? or The Frank Case, 1913, by Atlanta Publishing Company, which is another excellent source. How about including some sources that balance out the article, instead of making it biased on Leo Frank’s behalf and smearing Southerners with lies in your subtext and suppositions?

American Dissident Voices broadcast of April 26, 2014

Listen to the broadcast

by Kevin Alfred Strom

LEO FRANK was a Jewish sex killer who was president of Atlanta’s B’nai B’rith — and who was re-elected to that post even after his conviction. Frank was tried and found guilty of the strangulation of a 13-year-old White girl who worked for him, Mary Phagan (pictured, artist’s depiction), who died exactly 101 years ago today.

In one of the first visible nationwide efforts of the Jewish power structure in this country, immediately after Frank’s conviction a frantic, expensive, dishonest, underhanded, and wildly over-the-top campaign was launched to clear his name and accuse others — a campaign which continues even to this day. In that campaign, the White people and institutions of the American South were falsely accused of an “anti-Semitism” that never existed, an accusation which triggered real anti-Jewish feelings there on a scale never seen before in history. As a direct result of that huge blunder, the B’nai B’rith founded in 1913 the central organ of Jewish propaganda and corrupt influence in this country, the Anti-Defamation League, or ADL.

What really happened to Mary Phagan on that fateful day? The best evidence — the evidence affirmed by the Atlanta coroner’s jury, the grand jury (which included several Jews), the trial jury, the Supreme Court of Georgia, and the Supreme Court of the United States — tells us this:

Thirteen-year-old child laborer Mary Phagan came to her place of work, Atlanta’s National Pencil Company, to pick up her pay from the company’s part-owner and supervisor Leo Frank,  around noon on Saturday, April 26, 1913. It was a holiday (Confederate Memorial Day), but she had to come in to get her pay because Frank had refused the day before to let one of Mary’s friends pick it up for her, as had been done in the past. Frank evidently wanted Mary herself to come to get her pitiful $1.20, alone, and on a Saturday holiday, too — when the offices would be deserted. Frank had a reputation for lasciviousness among quite a few of the employees of the firm, many of whom were teenage girls. He had more than once arranged for the factory’s Black sweeper, Jim Conley, to act as his lookout while he “chatted” for an hour or so all alone with one of the girls.

Mary came into the factory building, walked up the stairs to the second floor where Leo Frank’s office was, passing Jim Conley sitting quietly on the first floor on her way up. Conley had been seen by several people that day, apparently doing nothing but sitting there — a rather strange thing for a beer- and dice-loving social sort of man as Jim Conley to be doing on a holiday when he had no official duties at the place. Except for some workmen on the fourth floor far above, there was no one else in the building, and no one at all except Leo Frank on the second floor.

Leo Frank

Mary met Frank in his office and asked for her pay. She also asked Frank if the supply of metal had come in, since, if it hadn’t, she wouldn’t work on Monday. Frank said “I don’t know,” and asked Mary to accompany him to the metal room, further back on the same floor, to see. Back they went, the lustful monster with evil intent, and the innocent girl, dressed up brightly for the holiday, taking the last steps of her life.

Once they were in the metal room, Frank made his planned indecent approach to Mary. We know that Frank moved in on her physically, because we also know that she resisted and was flung down by an apparently enraged Frank, striking the back of her head on a lathe handle and rendering her unconscious or at least helpless. Below, Conley heard the footsteps and a scream but did nothing — evidently screams weren’t uncommon during Frank’s ‘chats” with other girls. Nothing to worry about.

While Mary Phagan was unconscious or nearly so from the head wound he had inflicted on her, Leo Frank made an attempt to rape her: Her vagina had violence done to it, according to the physician who examined her dead body. Realizing soon after his lust had subsided that Mary, when she fully regained consciousness, would likely testify against him, ruining him for life and possibly sending him to prison, Leo Max Frank made a conscious decision to kill her. He obtained some strong cord from the supplies nearby, fastened it around her neck, and strangled her to death on the floor of the metal room, the cord deeply biting into her neck. He then ripped off a strip of her lacy underwear and fastened it so as to temporarily conceal her neck wound.

Just a few moments later, at around 12:05, Conley watched one of the factory’s other working girls, Monteen Stover, walk up the same set of stairs. Like Mary, she also was looking to collect her pay from Frank. Monteen entered Leo Frank’s office. But there was no one there. Monteen looked carefully in Frank’s outer office, then his inner office — both were empty. She looked down the hall and saw no sign of life. She decided to wait, and stayed in Frank’s office a full five minutes, until 12:10 according to the office clock. She gave up and left, and Conley saw her leave. Monteen Stover’s fruitless visit to Leo Frank’s empty office would be very significant in this case — because Leo Frank would later tell the police that he had been in his office continuously from noon to 12:35.

Some time after Monteen Stover left the building, Leo Frank, having completed his unspeakable acts of rape and murder, came looking for loyal Conley to help him dispose of the body and pin the crime on another Black man.

Frank told Conley that “I wanted to be with the little girl, and she refused me, and I struck her and I guess I struck her too hard and she fell and hit her head against something, and I don’t know how she got hurt.” Remember the piece of lacy underwear around her throat: unlikely to fool an investigator for even a minute, but possibly enough to keep Conley from knowing Mary’s real cause of death while he disposed of the body. Frank didn’t tell Conley that Mary was dead, but Conley quickly told him. Conley and Frank carried Mary’s body to the basement, near the maw of the factory furnace.

Frank gave Conley money, and promised him another $200 if he would return later and burn the body. Conley promised to do so — a promise he failed to keep. Frank did induce Conley to write several notes that were left near the body. These notes were ostensibly from Mary, and blamed the crime on a “tall, slim Negro” (Conley was short and chunky). The notes also described Mary’s attacker as “the night witch.” The description matched Newt Lee, the company’s night watchman, who was due to come on duty later that afternoon and work all night.

Conley never returned that day. Mary’s body still lay in the basement when Frank returned from lunch. Frank was unable to move her body by himself. When Newt Lee arrived at four — earlier than usual because Frank had told him he was going to a baseball game — Frank appeared extremely nervous and sent him away for a full two hours. When Lee said he’d prefer to sleep at the factory for those two hours, Frank absolutely insisted that he leave and come back at six.

At six, Frank had no possible excuse to send Lee away again. So when Conley utterly failed to return to perform the grisly task he had promised to do, Frank had no choice but to let Lee go on duty. Prior to Lee’s second arrival, Leo Frank had turned down the gas light in the basement as far as it would go without turning it completely off, doubtless hoping to delay the discovery of the body for as long as possible.  Frank was extremely nervous and jumpy on Lee’s return. He couldn’t even operate the time clock properly. An hour or so after he left for home, Frank called Lee on the telephone to “check and see if everything was all right” — something he had never done before.

The discovery of the body was long delayed. Newt Lee didn’t notice it until around three o’clock in the morning. When Frank was brought to the factory the next morning by police, he was so nervous he couldn’t even properly use his customary lock and key without fumbling. He told police that he’d been in his office from noon to 12:35, totally unaware that Monteen Stover would soon prove that to be a lie. He told police that he didn’t know Mary Phagan by name, despite interacting with her daily and filling our her pay stubs weekly for an entire year. And then Frank proceeded to tell police that he knew that a former company bookkeeper, James Gantt, was intimate with this the girl he didn’t know at all, Mary Phagan. (Gantt was actually arrested based on Frank’s insinuation, but was quickly cleared of any involvement in the crime.)

Frank looked at Newt Lee’s time card and declared that Lee had made all his rounds on time. But a few days later Frank produced a time card showing that Lee had missed several rounds, long enough for him to have returned home, changed out of his bloody clothing, and returned to the factory. And not too long after that, a bloody shirt was found in a barrel near Newt Lee’s residence — a shirt that was later proved to have been purposely smeared with blood and planted there by parties unknown. When the attempt to implicate Newt Lee failed, in large part because of proof that Mary Phagan died right around noon, Frank and his defenders would finally switch their accusations to another Black man, Jim Conley. According to researcher Bradford Huie:

“To implicate Conley, a corrupt Pinkerton agent named W.D. McWorth — three weeks after the entire factory had been meticulously examined by police and Pinkerton men — miraculously ‘discovered’ a bloody club, a piece of cord like that used to strangle Mary Phagan, and an alleged piece of Mary Phagan’s pay envelope on the first floor of the factory, near where the factory’s Black sweeper, Jim Conley, had been sitting on the fatal day. This was the beginning of the attempt to place guilt for the killing on Conley, an effort which still continues 100 years later. The ‘discovery’ was so obviously and patently false that it was greeted with disbelief by almost everyone, and McWorth was pulled off the investigation and eventually discharged by the Pinkerton agency.”

* * *

The Jewish media put forward two basic arguments for Frank’s innocence: 1) Leo Frank, they say, was tried and convicted for the murder of Mary Phagan mainly because he was a Jew — they say that “anti-Semitism” was rampant in the South, and an anti-Jewish mob intimidated the jury; and 2) They claim that the 1982 affidavit of Alonzo Mann, Frank’s office boy — who said that he saw James Conley carrying the body of Mary Phagan on that terrible day — proves that Conley, and not Frank, was the killer.

On my next American Dissident Voices program, I’ll show you that both of these arguments are utterly incredible. I’ll demonstrate that anti-Semitism was almost unknown in the South of 1913, and I’ll use Jewish sources and sources friendly to Frank — even one of the partners in the law firm that defended him — to prove it. I’ll also prove that Alonzo Mann’s dubious affidavit, even if true, changes absolutely nothing about the case.

* * *

I’ve given a lot of attention to the Leo Frank case over the last year here on National Vanguard and I’ve helped some other researchers and scholars who were digging into this amazing case — and I ended up being accused (with the usual wildly exaggerated mix of fact and fiction) by the Jewish Daily Forward and the ADL itself of being some kind of mastermind behind “at least four” of the Leo Frank-oriented sites that have sprung up in recent years. Well, it’s nice to get credit for my part in a noble task well done, but the effort to publish the hidden facts about this case has been largely spontaneous — a huge group effort involving dozens of researchers, scholars, writers, and publishers, men and women inspired to risk defamation and destitution because they hate lies and love the truth.

And this effort is succeeding: The major search engines now return many results from sites telling the righteous truth about the Frank case, from Metapedia’s articles to the huge Leo Frank Case and Trial Research Library, to the encyclopedic series on the case by Bradford L. Huie in The American Mercury, and many, many others, including pieces we’ve published on National Vanguard. The really heartening thing is that these independent media are often standing as high or higher than the Jewish groups’ own sites in terms of search rank, and therefore relevance and readership.

Just three of the increasingly popular Web sites which tell the truth about the Frank case

I’ve given so much attention to this case because it’s important. It’s important to understand just how weak and insupportable the Jewish propaganda is about this case. It’s important for the memory of Mary Phagan and the peace of mind of her family to know that her real killer was justly convicted. It’s important to understand how the world’s wealthiest ethnic group tried to make Southern Whites feel guilty about an “anti-Semitism” that never existed. It’s important to understand how this same power structure has gone on to inculcate guilt in all White men and women for their supposed part in slavery and “racism” — with “evidence” just as thin, just as preposterous. And it’s very, very important to understand that with some dedication and courage and work, we can defeat these media liars in their own arena and change the minds of millions of people.

Out of the Darkness (1983) by none other than Dr. William Luther Pierce. This video is dedicated to Little Mary Phagan (June 1, 1899 – April 26, 1913) who was raped, strangled and mutilated by Leo Frank, a Jewish American factory owner. Media by Omniphi hosted on YouTube.com.

Journalist, David A. Schwartz, at the Sun Sentinel, is falsifying the legal history of the the Leo Frank trial, that occurred long ago in Atlanta, during the summer of 1913. Schwartz published pathological lies from ADL member, Lonny Wilk, who spoke about the case during a talk-back session after a showing of the disingenuous and subversive musical ‘Parade’. ADL’s Lonny Wilk, like many other anti-White activists, are claiming the pedophile Leo Frank, was convicted of raping and strangling his 13-year-old employee Mary Phagan, because of anti-Semitism, not the facts. The false accusation that Leo Frank was convicted because of anti-Semitism is a racist, anti-Gentile, judicial mockery and hate crime hoax of generational magnitude, traditionally perpetuated by Jewish paranoiacs, for more than one hundred years, to slander European-American Southerners. Leo Frank was hanged August 17, 1915, two years after his trial ended with a verdict of guilt, in fulfillment of the judge’s and jury’s death sentence originally rendered against him on August 25 & 26, 1913, at the Fulton County Superior Courthouse.

Leo Frank had appealed his case several times to both the Georgia and United States Supreme Courts, between August 27, 1913 and April, 1915. Every appellate court ruling left his verdict undisturbed and ruled his trial was infact fair in their majority decisions. The Georgia Supreme Court ruled the evidence presented at the trial of Leo Frank was sufficient for a verdict of guilt. Even the corrupt Governor of Georgia at the time, John Slaton, who was part owner and senior law partner of the Law firm, ‘Rosser, Brandon, Slaton and Phillips’ in a 29 page commutation decision in 1915, said he was sustaining the verdict of the jury and appeals decisions in his last words of the clemency document, before signing the executive order on June 21, 1915. The ‘Slaton’ in the lawfirm named, that represented Leo Frank during his trial, is indeed Governor John Slaton. This powerful lawgroup was formed by a merger of two separate firms in early July, 1913: Rosser and Brandon (Jew) merged with Slaton and Phillips (Jew).

In 1986, after years of circus-like media publicity stunts using the affidavit of a senile octogenarian, Jewish political pressure and behind the scenes dealings, the racist anti-Gentile ADL was able to secure a posthumous pardon for Leo Frank, but without exonerating him of his guilt for murdering Mary Phagan. What Lonny Wilk, David Schwartz and other racist anti-Gentile Jews fail to tell people is: Leo Frank made an incriminating admission during his trial, while he was seated on the witness stand on August 18, 1913, where he changed his alibi and supposed him directly at the scene of the crime, when the murder occurred in the National Pencil Company’s factory metal room. This fact is often left out of every retelling of the case by Jews, who also fail to mention Leo Frank changed the time of Mary Phagan’s arrival four separate times and was caught in a number of lies about his whereabouts.

Jewish Supremacism is a virulent cancer and Western Civilization’s foremost problem right now, but global efforts to combat this pervasive Jewish hate, bigotry, prejudice and racism are growing.

ADL ‘talk-back’ addresses Frank trial’s anti-Semitism (January 27, 2014|By David A. Schwartz, Staff Writer) The Slow Burn Theatre Company production of “Parade,” the story of the 1913 trial of Leo Frank in Marietta, Ga. and his lynching two years later, shows that bigots and anti-Semites must be exposed for who and what they are, Lonny Wilk, Anti-Defamation League Florida associate director, said Sunday during a “talk-back” with members of the audience at the West Boca Performing Arts Theatre.

“The impact of this story is something that needs to be told,” Wilk said. He implored the audience to tell family members, friends and neighbors about the production and “fill these seats” for the musical that runs through Feb. 9 at the theatre on the campus of West Boca Raton Community High School. Frank, a Jewish businessman from Brooklyn who moved to Atlanta to manage his family’s pencil business, was convicted of the rape and murder of a 13-year-old girl who worked at the company factory. After a trial marked by blatant anti-Semitism, Georgia’s governor reduced Frank’s death sentence to life in prison. A mob, which included many leaders of the community, dragged Frank from his prison cell and lynched him.

The Anti-Defamation League was formed in 1913 in Chicago, in part to combat the anti-Semitism displayed in the trial of Leo Frank. “The mission of the Anti-Defamation League was going to be to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment for all,” Wilk said.

….

The anti-Semitic message is an important one to get out, audience member Elaine Polack of Boca Raton said.

“I wonder how many people were not aware of the anti-Semitic message,” her husband Rudy Polack said.

Ed Behar of Delray Beach said he stayed for the “talk-back” because “I believe the ADL is a beneficial organization. We need them as an advocate. Unfortunately, things like this can happen again.”

Chronology of the Leo Frank Epic Saga: http://www.leofrank.org/chronology/

Last Updated: January 2014

He who controls the present, controls the past and he who controls the past, controls the future. -George Orwell

The historical narrative of the well organized Jewish community is one that states in effect, “We Jews are under siege by non-Jews and when we Jews are not under siege by Gentiles, we might be soon, so watch out”. In a simplified analysis, the world view that emerges from the Jewish collective consciousness is one of paranoid mental illness: the world is out to get us, and it’s always the tribal, “us verses them” mind set. To maintain this narrative requires that racist anti-Gentile morality tales be relentlessly created out of thin air, by inverting all of reality through the lens of anti-Semitism, to the benefit of Jewish solidarity and detriment of Gentiles, in this case Southern European-Americans and African-Americans.

Stan Deaton

Please watch the two Leo Frank trial videos from ‘Today in Georgia History’ through the links below, watch them again until you captured a transcript of what was said by Stan Deaton. Pay special attention to not just the specific things he states as true history, but how it all together, as pieces of the puzzle, come to present the Leo Frank trial, woven as an injustice. In this example, American children are shown propaganda videos that transform Leo Frank from an accused serial pedophile and convicted child killer into the real victim of this legal affair, while 13 year old Mary Phagan is nothing more than an icon of irrational Southern solidarity. By giving a very narrow newspaper snapshot with two biased videos as background and foundation, one can see what the subtext of this Jewish propaganda class session is attempting to instill in the children via selectively conflicting perspectives on the Leo Frank case from a century old newspaper and the modern popular culture orthodoxy of the trial, instead of providing these students and teachers with all the newspaper accounts to learn what really happened. The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta Journal and Atlanta Georgian newspapers that specifically mention the Murder of Mary Phagan and Trial of Leo Frank from April through August 1913 are available on www.archive.org the Internet archive, but for this Jewish educational poison, the children are given only a selectively racist anti-Gentile perspective of the case as the foundation. The poison seeds are then planted in the minds of these children that traditions of White solidarity as cultural heritage from the Old South are evil, because they lead to falsely manufactured blood libels against innocent Jews, framing them as pedophile stranglers. The underlying goal is to break ethnic solidarity in non-Jews and promote ethnic solidarity in Jews. The message is that Stan Deaton in the 21st century is telling you what really happened, and anything contrary to it is likely biased.

So what really happened in the Leo Frank case can be discovered by reading all the three Atlanta Daily newspaper accounts of the murder of Mary Phagan and Trial of Leo Frank, with The Leo Frank trial brief of evidence (1913) serving as the digest of what the defense and prosecution ratify in stone.

Procedures

Teacher Task: Before presenting the assignment, give students background information on the Leo Frank Trial and show them the video clips. Afterwards, pass around copies of the article “Phagan Trial Will BE Great Legal Battle” for the students to read. Pu them in groups and have the students read silently to themselves. Encourage them to highlight and/or note of any phrases that include the writer’s personal biases or points of view on the trial.

As a group, have the students discuss their findings with each other and write them down. Plan on circling around to each group and asking them questions to help dissect biases in the article.

As a class, go over the students’ findings. Discuss the effects of point of view and biases. Ask “how can a person’s biases affect the way WE view a person or event years later?” Also ask them: How can we study biases? Do they reveal how people at the time thought? Or just how an individual thought? Or perhaps both?

Perhaps relate this to a contemporary discussion people are having about a controversial topic in the news (gun control for instance). When people in the future read articles written in 2013, about gun control, will the biases in those articles be a reflection of the way people thought in 2013? Is it a bad idea to learn the history of someone or something by reading and analyzing something biased?

Intelligence Report, Winter 2013, Issue Number: 152

Neo-Nazis Behind Leo Frank Propaganda Sites

Just over a century ago, on Aug. 25, 1913, a Georgia jury found factory superintendent Leo Frank guilty of the horrific murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, whose strangled corpse was found in the basement of Atlanta’s National Pencil Company, which Frank ran. Frank, who was 29 at the time, was said to have flirted with the young girl and was supposedly the last person to see her alive. A jury sentenced him to death for the crime.

In 1915, Georgia’s governor, citing concerns about a miscarriage of justice, commuted Frank’s sentence. Soon after that, a mob calling itself the “Knights of Mary Phagan” kidnapped Frank from prison and lynched him.

The Frank case reawakened the Ku Klux Klan, sparking its so-called “second era,” and inspired a wave anti-Semitic sentiment. And though Frank was posthumously pardoned in 1986, 100 years after the fact, his case remains a cause célèbre among American anti-Semites. In August, The Jewish Daily Forward published a groundbreaking article exploring the modern Leo Frank propaganda industry and the websites it has produced.

Most serious historians of the period have concluded that Leo Frank, a Jewish man who ran an Atlanta pencil factory, was innocent of the 1913 murder of a 13-year-old girl for which he was lynched. But that hasn’t stopped websites run by neo-Nazis from pronouncing him guilty — and typical of the Jewish “race.” BETTMANN/CORBIS IMAGES

As the Forward noted, most anti-Semitic sites dedicated to Frank are registered anonymously. On the 100th anniversary of Phagan’s death, The American Mercury, a resurrected and deeply anti-Semitic online version of H. L. Mencken’s defunct magazine of the same name, published an article by the apparently pseudonymous Bradford L. Huie titled, “100 Reasons Leo Frank is Guilty,” which has been widely reposted on white nationalist Internet forums.

Other anti-Frank propagandists are all too happy to take credit for their efforts. The Forward identified Kevin Strom, a bookish neo-Nazi with a fondness for child pornography, as the brains behind LeoFrank.info, one of the more polished anti-Frank sites. A former deputy to the late William Pierce, leader of the neo-Nazi National Alliance, Strom broke away to form his own radical group, National Vanguard. Later, in 2007, he was indicted for possession of child pornography and eventually convicted. His group dissolved as a result, but Strom since his release has continued to work behind the scenes.

Two of the sites noted by the Forward are run by John de Nugent, a self-styled ombudsman for the “responsible white separatist community” who claims, among other things, that “Whites descend from Nordic Aliens, and this is why we are NOT from this planet and are VERY different from other races.”

De Nugent’s LeoFrank.org is more obviously anti-Semitic than Strom’s site, but still polished enough to fool a naïve young student. His other site, MaryPhagan.info, is more blatant, featuring, among other things, a music video for a song by neo-Nazi punk band “Achtung Juden” (“Beware Jews”) called “The Knights of Mary Fagan,” [Knights of Mary Phagan is the correct spelling] whose first comprehensible line is, “String up the Jews.”

Commentary on the SPLC article

I wonder why the SPLC didn’t also didn’t try to smear The American Mercury’s 2013 analysis of the Leo Frank trial and ADL that went viral?

SPLC says, serious historians believe Leo Frank is innocent. What they mean is that racist Jewish activists who call themselves “historians” believe Leo Frank is innocent! Anyone who actually studies the case without Jewish bias has no doubts Leo Frank is guilty. What these Jewish racists failed to mention is that the Negro janitor, James “Jim” Conley is falsely blamed by the well organized Jewish Community for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, as well as White Gentile anti-Semitism being behind it all! Both claims do not stand up to serious legal or academic inquiry.

This case should also be taken up by African-Americans (like nation of Islam) who wish to fight racism perpetuated by the race conscious Jewish Supremacist groups that control and occupy the US government, like: ADL, SPLC, AIPAC and all the other alphabet initialed Jewish-American pro-Israeli groups that can be found on wikipedia.

Black and White Americans demand an apology from the ADL, SPLC and Jewish community for spreading racist anti-Gentile falsehoods about the Leo Frank case.

Video Referenced: Knights of Mary Phagan

SPLC says, ….whose first comprehensible line is, “String up the Jews.” Yet the video says “string up the Jew”, Jew singular, not Jews plural, because that specific part of the song is about the lynching of Leo Frank 100 years ago.

We can see first hand the subtle manipulation by the SPLC, which is filled from top to bottom with racist Jewish supremacists and homosexual extremists.

Murder Inspired by SPLC?

SPLC, by relentlessly slandering Christian groups may have caused a Christian conservative leader to be murdered in cold blood by a psychopathic fellow-traveler of homosexual extremism. We encourage you to look up the case.

The leftwing anti-heterosexual murderer who was captured by the police, claimed he got the target inspiration from reading the SPLC web site.

The SPLC has blood on its hands via instigating its own brand of hate by relentlessly smearing, American patriots and Christian groups who respectively defend the US constitution and Bible!

Tom Watson Statue To Be Removed From Georgia State Capitol
Posted on October 23, 2013 by Hunter Wallace
ADL exults over the removal of the Tom Watson statue at the Georgia State Capitol

ADL exults over the removal of the Tom Watson statue

Georgia

Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia recently signed an executive order authorizing the removal of the Tom Watson statue from the grounds of the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta.

Rather than be seen as a weakling who is capitulating to the demands of a PC lynch mob, Gov. Deal claims that it is only a “safety issue” and that the statue is being removed due to a “big renovations” project on the steps of the State Capitol, but a spokesman for the Georgia Building Authority says that it would be a “prohibitive cost” to restore the statue to its present location and that it is being permanently removed to a nearby park.

In reality, the removal of the Tom Watson statue from the Georgia State Capitol is part of a well organized leftwing agitation campaign to remove the monument which includes a petition on Change.org that has gathered nearly 1,000 signatures. The ADL has issued a press release praising Gov. Nathan Deal for acting to remove the Tom Watson statue which has “offended” them for so many years:

“For many years we at the ADL and many Georgians of good will have been offended by the statute of Tom Watson standing in a place of honor at the front entrance of the capitol,” said Shelley Rose, Associate Director of the ADL Southeast Region. “We are grateful to Governor Deal for acting to move the statue. In doing so he sends a clear message that he will not tolerate the hatred and bigotry that defined so much of Watson’s career.”

Gov. Nathan Deal has succeeded in sending a “clear message” to State Rep. Tyrone Brooks, the president of the Georgia Association of Elected Black Officials, who is “elated” by the removal of the Tom Watson statue, and who would like to see the statues of Sen. Richard Russell, Gov. Eugene Talmadge, and Confederate General John B. Gordon also removed from the State Capitol, as well as all the other statues which he considers offensive.

Rep. Brooks has linked the removal of the Tom Watson statue to the NAACP’s victory in the removal of the 1956 Georgia State Flag. He believes that it is “a sign of progress” and that Gov. Deal has decided that it is time to “begin to remove the old racist artifacts” from the grounds of the Georgia State Capitol.

He also hopes that these “old racist artifacts” will be replaced by African-American, Native American, and Asian American monuments which represent “the Georgia of today” rather than “yesterday.”

Note: I’m seriously considering going to Atlanta to protest this.

ADL Praises Georgia Governor Nathan Deal for Moving Statue of Tom Watson from Steps of State Capitol
October 22, 2013
Share via email

The Anti-Defamation League today praised Georgia Governor Nathan Deal for ordering the removal the statue of the notorious racist and anti-Semitic political leader Thomas E. Watson from the front steps of the state capitol.

“For many years we at the ADL and many Georgians of good will have been offended by the statute of Tom Watson standing in a place of honor at the front entrance of the capitol,” said Shelley Rose, Associate Director of the ADL Southeast Region. “We are grateful to Governor Deal for acting to move the statue. In doing so he sends a clear message that he will not tolerate the hatred and bigotry that defined so much of Watson’s career.”

“During his long public career as a political leader, Watson used hatred and bigotry to mobilize his voters. Watson was elected to the Georgia General Assembly in 1882, and went on to serve in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. He demonstrated his onerous anti-Semitic views during the trial of Atlanta businessman Leo Frank, who was accused of the murder of a 13-year-old worker at the pencil factory where Frank served as manager. Watson’s poisonous editorials in his magazine The Jeffersonian were so offensive that the New York Times, in a story addressing the poisonous atmosphere surrounding the trial called Watson’s writing “of such character as to preclude their reproduction in any respectable newspaper.”

Rose was interviewed by Fox 5 Atlanta on Monday. Click here to view the video interview and corresponding article.

LEO FRANK
Column lacked context
behind man’s lynching

In “Murder case lives on in ballad” (Metro, Oct. 1), you responded to a reader’s request to print the lyrics to an old song about the murder of Mary Phagan.

Those lyrics, as you published them, point a condemning finger of blame at Leo Frank. While it is true that Frank was convicted of the murder, your column did not put the matter in the context it deserves. Many factors raise serious doubts about Frank’s guilt: The trial took place in a poisonous atmosphere of anti-Semitic bigotry tainting the community against Frank; the eyewitness whose testimony was key to the conviction recanted his version of the story years later, and the then-governor of Georgia found the trial to be so biased, he overturned the death sentence Frank received.

By not pointing out any of this, your column would lead readers to conclude that there is no doubt Frank was guilty.

Atlanta Forward Thomas E. Watson’s legacy

6:55 pm October 30, 2013, by David Ibata

Moderated by David Ibata

As might be expected in a state with as freighted a history as ours, a plan to move the statue of Thomas E. Watson — lawmaker, populist, poor folks’ champion, white supremacist and religious demagogue — from the steps of the state Capitol has prompted wide-ranging reactions. An Anti-Defamation League official is glad to see the statue go. The CEO of the Atlanta History Center says we should not sanitize history, but learn from it.

Statue move distances Georgia from Watson controversy

By Shelley Rose

It’s about time.

The imposing — some would say forbidding — statue of Thomas E. Watson has stood at the front entrance of the Georgia State Capitol since its unveiling in December 1932 and has withstood numerous efforts to remove it over the decades. Now, at long last, Gov. Nathan Deal has ordered its relocation to a less visible park across the street from the Capitol grounds. The Anti-Defamation League applauds this move.

Watson was a powerful Georgia political leader and journalist who began his career as a populist, arguing for better living and working conditions for rural Georgians, black and white. But as the beginning of the 20th century neared, he evolved into a demagogic bully, rallying Georgians around his fiery denunciations of blacks, Jews and Catholics.

Watson railed against them repeatedly in the pages of his magazine, The Jeffersonian. He helped revitalize the Ku Klux Klan and is credited with organizing its first cross-burning. He wrote about the “superiority of the Aryan” and stood “squarely for white supremacy.”

His anti-Semitic attacks on Atlanta Jewish businessman Leo Frank — accused of the 1913 murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan — were so poisonous that many believe he inspired the hatred that led to Frank’s lynching. An article published in The New York Times the day after Frank was killed reported that Watson’s writings about Frank “preclude their reproduction in any respectable newspaper.”

It’s no wonder, then, that the Watson statue has sparked so many cries for its removal from the Capitol.

Some critics of the move acknowledge Watson’s controversial past but argue that it is problematic to try to erase our history — good or bad. They contend that the statue can serve today as a reminder that Georgia’s past does include a dark side represented by bigots like Watson. But the Capitol must represent fair and equal government for all. The statue’s current prominent display implicitly endorses Watson’s dark side, conveying an official message of exclusion and marginalization to many Georgians. Such a message is simply unacceptable in the 21st century.

We recognize that moving the statue from the Capitol grounds is a symbolic gesture and would not greatly change the practical status of race relations in Georgia today. However, symbols matter. Having the Watson statue occupy a place of particular honor, standing at the main entrance to the Capitol building where it cannot escape the notice of thousands of school children and others who visit the Capitol every day, sends the wrong message.

Surely we don’t want to hold him up as an example of a great leader in our state’s history. The statue needs to be moved to a place where Watson’s historical significance can be remembered, but his message of hate and bigotry can be distanced from our state government.

Ironically, it appears that the plaque on the Watson statue will survive its relocation. It reads, in part, “Honor’s the path he trod … a champion of right who never faltered in the cause.” Whatever he tried to accomplish for good early in his public life, by embracing bigotry and hatred, Watson chose an eventual path of dishonor.

Now is the time to show the people of Georgia that we are distancing ourselves from these beliefs. It has been over 90 years since Tom Watson’s death. It is time to remove his statue from our state Capitol grounds.

We can learn from history

By Sheffield Hale

Putting anyone on a pedestal is a tricky business. Who we commemorate says just as much about the culture and point of view of the majority in political and economic power at the time as it does about the object of veneration itself. As a monument ages, it develops a history separate from its subject, particularly when popular opinions and perspectives change.

The impulse to remove monuments as time passes and perspectives change is natural. On one hand, a once-celebrated individual can come to be regarded negatively in the light of current culture, opinion and attitudes. It seems reasonable, therefore, for those who are personally offended by that person (and that belief system) to object to the community support that they believe is implicit in leaving the monument in place.

Others may wish to distance themselves from that past and prefer that the nuisance simply be removed, since it presents an embarrassing reminder of some aspect of our collective history. After all, it is much harder to wave a bloody shirt after it has been dry cleaned.

As natural and well-intentioned as these impulses are, I believe they do not serve our community well. Although these controversies may serve as a cautionary tale for the erection of new monuments, once erected, these physical embodiments of cultural and political views should be retained for the lessons they can teach us over time about ourselves and how we have grown and changed as a people, a community, and a country.

Preserving such monuments is not the same as implicit support of an ideology, but instead, with broader interpretation, should be viewed as a type of historical waypoint that helps us understand our current situation in relationship to our past.

Inscriptions on monuments beg for context. Today, modern technology, such as QR Codes, can direct the observer to a broader historical and cultural context of the monument. This modern technology and its interpretive authority can be updated, providing evolving perspectives over time.

The great story of this nation is not that we have always been enlightened by current standards, but that we have evolved in our treatment and acceptance of one another. An honest examination of our history requires us to confront a painful, ambiguous past – an examination that for many is difficult, challenging and distressing. That examination can also be provocative, stimulating and inspiring.

We cannot change our history. But, we can learn from it. Controversial history should not be sanitized. Instead, this is an opportunity to address the underlying issues that often divide us. Rather than censoring the past, let us bridge the divide and use the changing interpretation of history to open ourselves to perspectives that can allow all of us to learn from our past and create a better Atlanta. The past has much to teach us about who we are, and where we are — if we let it.

Sheffield Hale is president and CEO of the Atlanta History Center.

Little-known fact: Watson was offered large sums to be Leo Frank’s defense lawyer, but his conscience would not allow him to accept.

by David Sims

ON THE 100th anniversary of the founding of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, that infamous Jewish influence and espionage organization was successful in pressuring a Georgia governor into ordering the removal of the statue of former US Senator Thomas E. Watson (D-GA, 1921-22). Senator Watson offended the Jews by calling for the execution of Leo Frank, a Jewish man who raped and murdered 13-year-old Mary Ann Phagan at the factory he managed in 1913. More than a century later, the Jews are still trying to put a whitewash on the villainy of one of their own kind, and they are still suborning the corruption of public officials to achieve that purpose.

Thomas Watson had no particular antisemitism in him. Just before Leo Frank went on trial for Mary Phagan’s murder, Frank’s relatives approached Watson and requested that he be Frank’s defense attorney. Believing Leo Frank to be guilty, Watson declined the offer of generous compensation from that wealthy Jewish family.

Watson did, however, have a bitter political rival in the gentile Hoke Smith. During a contested election, Watson accused Smith of soliciting Jewish favor (and financing) by taking the side of Leo Frank, who had been convicted of Phagan’s murder. He accused Smith of selling out justice in order to win the election. Watson wrote: “Frank belongs to the Jewish aristocracy, and it was determined by the rich Jews that no aristocrat of their race should die for the death of a working-class Gentile.”

And that’s why the Jewish ADL wanted the statue of the former Senator from Georgia taken down in Atlanta.

http://nationalvanguard.org/2015/09/why-was-thomas-watsons-statue-removed/

Answering the question everyone is asking:

Why was the decades-old Tom Watson statue at the Atlanta Capitol entrance moved on the centennial (October 1913 – October 2013) of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith founding year and month?

Because Leo Frank was elected the Atlanta B’nai B’rith president of the Gate City Lodge #144 in 1912 and his Summer of 1913 conviction for the rape and strangulation-murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan had galvanized B’nai B’rith HQ to found the ADL less than two months after the fact.

Even though Leo Frank was convicted in late August 1913, in September 1913 his 500 member Independent Order of B’nai B’rith fraternal organization in Georgia voted UNANIMOUSLY (see Atlanta Constitution, September 24, 1913 at The Internet Archive) to re-elect him their president. So while Leo Frank was incarcerated in the city jail as his appeals were wending their way through the appellate courts (1913-1915), he was running the affairs of this powerful Atlanta Jewish group like a powerful mafia boss behind bars until the Autumn of 1914. He was not re-elected once the affidavits, testimony and evidence of the Leo Frank Georgia Supreme Court records were revealed to the public (Available at The Internet Archive).

I encourage everyone to please listen to the Tom Watson 2015 centennial audiobooks Vanessa Neubauer has created from Watson’s Jeffersonian Magazine, January, March, August, September and October of 1915.

The People v. Leo Frank

The author of the definitive book on the Frank trial and lynching explains why the case still sparks debate a century later

Posted on 9/24/2013 8:00:00 AM by Steve Oney

Throughout the rain-threatened spring morning, pilgrims kept arriving at the Marietta City Cemetery. High school kids researching a history project. A Darlington, South Carolina, lawyer who’d been planning his trip for months. A curious college student. All made their way to the grave of Mary Phagan, a thirteen-year-old child laborer murdered in a downtown Atlanta factory on April 26, 1913, exactly 100 years before. Little Mary’s final resting place, with its hauntingly engraved stone (“Many an aching heart in Georgia beats for you, and many a tear, from eyes unused to weep, has paid you a tribute”), has long been a shrine.

But the girl’s mysterious death and the subsequent tragedy it inspired—the lynching of Leo Frank, a Cornell-educated Jewish industrialist convicted of her killing—make the site more than just a place for paying respects. Here, unresolved hostilities still erupt. Among this day’s visitors was eighty-year-old Edward R. Fields, a former Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, an associate of the late racist politician J.B. Stoner, and a founder of the anti-Semitic National States Rights Party. After offering a prayer and placing a flower, Fields told Leo Hohmann of the Marietta Daily Journal that Frank, contrary to most contemporary thinking, was guilty as charged. As to why many now believe otherwise, Fields declared, “Money is power. And the Jews have the money. They came down here from New York and made movies and wrote stories.” So began the centennial of Atlanta’s most infamous criminal case.

Even after 100 years, the questions linger. Was Leo Frank indeed innocent? Did he receive a fair trial? Did America’s Jews, especially those in the press, misplay their hand, inadvertently igniting the sectional hostility that doomed Frank? How did the lynch mob get away with such a brazen crime? Finally: Could it happen again?

From today’s perspective, the case beggars belief. Mary Phagan, who toiled at a Forsyth Street pencil factory run by Frank, was found strangled to death in the factory basement not long after leaving Frank’s office with her weekly pay: $1.20. Next to her body the police discovered two semiliterate notes that purported to have been written by her (“i wright while play with me,” read one) but were plainly the work of someone else. Jim Conley, the factory’s black janitor, claimed that Frank committed the murder when the girl rejected Frank’s sexual advances. Conley added that Frank dictated the notes to him in an effort to pin the crime on another black employee. Following a monthlong trial in the heat of summer, an all-white jury accepted Conley’s word over that of the Yankee Jew and returned a guilty verdict. A black witness had prevailed against a white defendant in a capital case in the Jim Crow South. The judge’s sentence: death by hanging.

Striking as all this was, what happened next proved even more dramatic. The Northern press, led by the New York Times, took up the story. Tom Watson, a fierce Georgia populist offended by what he saw as one-sided accounts in the Jewish-owned Times, responded in his weekly tabloid, the Jeffersonian, with incendiary rants that featured ugly stereotypes and played up Southern grievances. When the U.S. Supreme Court denied Frank’s last appeal, Governor John Slaton, widely seen as having a conflict of interest (his partner was the lead defense lawyer), reviewed the case. In June 1915 he commuted Frank’s sentence. Soon after, a disciplined cadre of vigilantes stormed the state prison in Milledgeville and abducted its now celebrated inmate. They drove Frank in an automobile caravan some 150 miles through the night to an oak grove near Mary’s family home in Marietta. There they carried out what they saw as the court’s verdict: They hanged Leo Frank. No one was indicted (one of the lynch mob leaders conducted the grand jury inquest), much less convicted. It was a perfect crime.

Little wonder the case remains profoundly unsettling. Not only were there two hideous murders, but religious prejudice, racism, and demagoguery ran rampant, and the law was trampled. When it was over, Atlanta’s Jews—previously secure in their social and business standing—retreated into a twilight of suspicion and fear. As for the leading citizens of Marietta who masterminded the hanging, they bore an abiding shame: the stigma of a lynching. For decades, neither group would speak of the subject. Nor would Georgia’s blacks. Conley, one of their own, gave the testimony that convicted Frank—testimony he had every reason to concoct if, as many came to suspect, he was the real culprit.

Not until the 1980s did the veil of repression and denial begin to lift, thanks largely to the late-in-life revelations of octogenarian Alonzo Mann, Frank’s long-ago office boy. Mann told the Nashville Tennessean that on the day Mary was murdered, he had entered the factory’s lobby and seen Conley toting the girl’s lifeless body. Conley, said Mann, threatened him: If he breathed a word, Conley would kill him. Mann’s story formed the basis for a posthumous pardon application for Frank filed by, among others, the Southern counsel for the Anti-Defamation League, an organization that grew out of the lynching. (A second group also emerged from the case: the modern KKK. Three months after the lynching, the hooded fraternity held its first twentieth-century cross-burning atop Stone Mountain.)

In 1983 the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles refused to grant Frank an outright pardon, but three years later it conceded that the state had failed to protect his constitutional rights (the break-in at the prison was unopposed) and issued what amounted to an apology. The affair reentered the public consciousness. NBC broadcast a miniseries starring Peter Gallagher as Frank and Jack Lemmon as John Slaton. In 1998 playwright Alfred Uhry, an Atlanta native, and director Hal Prince mounted a Broadway musical about the case, Parade. Finally, in 2003, And the Dead Shall Rise, my attempt to bring every last bit of the dark tale into the light, appeared in bookstores.

In the hours after Mary Phagan’s body was discovered, Leo Frank seemed unduly agitated. There was credible circumstantial evidence against him as well. According to one witness, he was not at his desk at the hour Mary was slain, even though he’d said he was. Also damning, at the trial many female employees testified to his reputation for lasciviousness. But almost certainly Frank did not kill the girl. The murderer was Conley. On the afternoon of the crime, the janitor was in the factory lobby when Mary emerged from Frank’s office with her wages. Drunk and by his own admission in debt, he had the opportunity to rob her, then a reason to kill her.

True, there will always be doubts. The Atlanta Police botched the forensics investigation, and an autopsy was not conducted on the victim until nine days after her death. Moreover, Conley testified convincingly at the trial, while Frank gave a wooden statement. But William Smith—Conley’s lawyer and a central character in my book—demonstrated that Conley lied about the case’s most important physical evidence. In a careful study, Smith, who’d long entertained doubts about his client, proved that Conley, not Frank, was the author of the notes found beside the girl’s body. Governor Slaton relied on Smith’s work when commuting Frank’s death sentence.

Frank’s trial was demonstrably unfair. There were frequent outbursts against him from spectators, and as the jury deliberated, the judge and the lawyers for both sides struck an agreement to keep Frank out of the courtroom when his verdict was read, for fear he would be lynched if acquitted. Still, there’s no evidence for a later claim that crowds shouted at the jury, “Hang the Jew, or we’ll hang you.” That was an invention by Frank’s supporters and is indicative of the heavy-handedness that would mark their pronouncements.

Although most American Jews believed that Frank was not so much prosecuted as persecuted, there was a fierce debate in the Jewish community about how to respond. American Jewish Committee president Louis Marshall, the constitutional lawyer who handled Frank’s appeals before the U.S. Supreme Court, felt that Frank’s ethnicity should not be a factor in the efforts to exonerate him. Others, among them Albert D. Lasker, the millionaire advertising executive who publicized Frank’s plight, disagreed, and they prevailed, transforming the case into a cause celebre in which religious prejudice was a central issue. Lasker’s daughter, Frances Lasker Brody, told me that in subsequent years her father said he had made a terrible mistake. He’d realized that his tactics had helped foment the backlash in Georgia against Frank.

No one was more convinced of Frank’s innocence than Adolph Ochs, publisher of the New York Times, and his conviction, no matter how well-intentioned, led to journalistic excesses. Ochs turned the paper of record into a pro-Frank propaganda machine. It printed hundreds of stories that played up facts in his favor. How biased was the Times? Researchers examining recently located files in the paper’s archives discovered a trove of photographs of the Phagan crime scene in which models reenact the murder in a sequence staged to establish Conley’s guilt. The pictures were commissioned by Ochs as the courts weighed Frank’s fate, and while he did not run them, they offer proof of the thinking behind what he did publish. The Times’ coverage spurred Watson to the rhetorical extremes that laid the foundation for the case’s awful conclusion.

Whatever the lapses by his allies, Frank’s lynching was an act of infamy. The crime was conceived by Marietta’s elite, men whose family names—Brumby, Clay, Brown, Morris—still resonate in high places and adorn prominent buildings across Georgia. It was carried out by farmers and merchants who answered to these worthies. But it was not merely a local operation. As I make clear in my book, the lynching was underwritten by the state legislature, which in the crime’s aftermath funded new construction at the Milledgeville prison. Georgia financed Frank’s lynching. It’s no surprise Frank’s sympathizers lacked the stomach to call for an investigation. In fact, the most startling discovery in the Times archives is a letter to Ochs from a sister who visited Atlanta after the lynching, telling him the city’s Jews had voted to let the matter rest. To look too deeply, they’d decided, could lead to more violence.

In many ways, 2013 bears a great similarity to 1913. Just as the industrial age is presently giving way to the information age, the agrarian age was then giving way to the industrial age, making people anxious about the future. There’s also another familiar element: proliferating and unreliable sources of news. In the early twentieth century, Atlanta boasted three daily papers (the least responsible was the Georgian, owned by William Randolph Hearst), and they deluged the city with extra editions about the Phagan murder. A detective probing the crime—making an observation that could just as easily apply to consumers of media in the era of Facebook and Twitter—described a witness as being “well-read to the extent that she is crazy.”

But the most worrisome parallel is this: The red state/blue state divide that now transforms elections and court decisions into venomous societal litmus tests finds its origins in events like the Frank affair. Under the right circumstances, the same sort of anarchy that engulfed Frank could be loosed again.

There is, of course, one huge difference between yesterday and today: The FBI, at the time of Frank’s lynching a nonentity, now has the authority to investigate civil rights violations and conspiracies. Indeed, just the threat of federal prosecution has a way of deterring atrocities. Even so, the sentiments articulated by ex-Klansman Edward R. Fields at Mary Phagan’s grave are not uncommon. For the next two years—the centennial will continue through August 17, 2015, the 100th anniversary of the lynching—the Frank case will be rehashed from all sides. The last battle of the Civil War and the first battle in the culture wars, it is not over.
