paperback. No Date (early 1914).1st edition. Original printed paper wrappers, 8 pages. Includes illustrations. 23 cm. "On August 16, 1915.At an oak grove outside of Marietta, Georgia, a quietly efficient lynch party hanged Leo M. Frank, a Jew convicted of murdering and suspected of violating his thirteen-year old employee, Mary Phagan. Three months later on Thanksgiving Day, members of the lynch party reconvened at Stone Mountain, Georgia, and lit a huge burning cross to signal the resurrection of Griffith's screen specters: the KKK would ride again. For nearly a century, the motion picture medium and the story of Leo Frank have shadowed each other-sometimes straight on, more often in veiled allegory. Unlike most sensational true crime stories, the facts of the Frank case are well known and mainly uncontested. On April 27, 1913, the bloodied and battered body of Mary Phagan was found in the factory basement of the National Pencil factory in Atlanta, Georgia. Initial suspicion fell on the African American night watchman who had discovered Phagan's body, but police soon turned their attention to the jittery factory supervisor, Leo M. Frank. A New Yorker, an industrialist in an agrarian culture, and a Jew, Frank was triply alien in the capital of what was still far more Old than New South. In photographs, Frank-- pallid, bespectacled, and gaunt-- bears an eerie resemblance to Franz Kafka. Official cupidity and cruel happenstance conspired to condemn the interloper. Even by the remedial forensic standards of the day, Atlanta's detectives were a careless and clueless crew: evidence was lost, ruined, perhaps fabricated. An ambitious prosecutor, Hugh M. Dorsey, seized on the case to make a name for himself (successfully: he was elected governor of Georgia in 1916) and a salivating tabloid press amplified the cries for blood ( 'Leo Frank is guilty of the foulest crime ever committed on a Georgia girl and he should not be allowed to escape,' snarled the Jeffersonian, a populist weekly). All Atlanta ached to avenge a girl who had come to represent everything that was pure and inviolate in Southern femininity-a girl who, like the brave heroine Little Sister in Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, had chosen death before dishonor. With evidence thin, the case against Frank rested largely on the testimony of Jim Conley, the African American janitor at the pencil factory. After several false starts, Conley settled on a vivid tale: that Frank had murdered Phagan while trying to sexually assault her and then forced Conley to help cover up the crime. When called to the witness stand, Conley, the first black man permitted to give testimony in a capital case against a white man, stuck to his story--and surely an ignorant black man could never have withstood the withering cross-examination of Frank's defense attorneys. In less than four hours, the jury returned a verdict of guilty; the next day, the judge sentenced Frank to death by hanging. Ecstatic Atlantans clogged the streets in an orgy of jubilation. By then, Frank's case had become a national cause célèbre. From coast to coast, a galvanized Jewish community raised money for appeals and publicized the travails of the man labeled an 'American Dreyfus.' The New York Times headlined developments, editorialized against the travesty of justice, and underwrote an independent investigation that exculpated Frank. The most enduring response came from the B'nai B'rith, the Jewish fraternal organization, which within weeks of Frank's conviction formed its Anti-Defamation League to combat prejudice of all kinds. After two years of unsuccessful court appeals, Frank's last hope to escape the gallows was a commutation from Georgia Governor John M. Slaton. Slaton might have passed the buck-his term was expiring and he harbored ambitions for the U.S. Senate-- but he felt the evidence against Frank was weak and the trial a scandal. In a true profile in courage, he commuted Frank's sentence to life imprisonment (Frank wanted a full pardon: ironically, his lawyers convinced him to go for the commutation fearing that an outright pardon would so enrage the citizenry as to put his life in jeopardy). Before Slaton announced the commutation, he had Frank secretly transferred to the state prison farm in Milledgeville, about two hours outside Atlanta. Enraged mobs converged on the governor's mansion, tossed rocks through the windows, and burned Slaton in effigy. The National Guard had to be called out to keep order. What happened next was not a spontaneous uprising by a crowd of liquored-up rednecks bearing torches and howling invective. The lynching of Leo Frank was executed with military precision by pillars of the community-judges, a solicitor general, even a former sheriff. Under cover of darkness, they cut the telegraph and telephone lines at the prison farm, overpowered the compliant guards, rousted Frank from his bed, and drove him in a multi-car convey to the oak grove outside Marietta, Mary Phagan's hometown. With due solemnity, the lynch party mounted Frank on a table, fixed an expertly tied noose around his neck, and kicked the table out from under him. By morning light, townspeople had gathered around the dangling body to gape, pose for photographs, and cut strips from his clothing for souvenirs. Though the case was too searing to be blotted totally from memory, for decades the story of Leo Frank was either passed over in silence or treated in coded allegory. As late as 1953, at a soiree celebrating the 40th anniversary of the ADL, a nationally televised event entitled A Dinner with the President with Dwight D. Eisenhower as guest of honor, not a single speaker on the dais uttered the name of the man whose plight had inspired its founding. In 1965, the publication of historian Leonard Dinnerstein's scrupulously researched The Leo Frank Case revived interest in the forgotten man. In the years since, the case and its university-friendly issues of race, religion, and region have spar.…
