Who was guilty in the Leo frank case. Who killed the girl?

Question

Who was guilty in the Leo frank case. Who killed the girl?

Answer 1

Mary Phagan, a southern girl, was killed in a pencil factory in Marietta, Georgia, that was run but not owned by a Northern Jewish businessman named Leo Frank. Tensions during this time in the South were high because one-time farmers and their families were being forced to seek factory jobs because farms were failing and they had to get money somehow. Frank was a businessman from up North, a fact that further made him a focal point of the murder investigation when Mary Phagan was found murdered in the basement of the factory. He was tried, found guilty and sentenced to die by a jury. The prosecuting attorney had political ambitions, and he gained much popularity in the South for bringing Frank to justice. The governor of Georgia re-opened the case and discovered that the prosecutor had ignored evidence that would have exonerated Leo Frank, so he reduced the sentence and quietly had him moved out of the Marietta jail to a prison camp. A group of outraged citizens of Marietta and probably other places in the South had formed a group called The Knights of Mary Phagan and the governor did not want them knowing where Leo Frank had been taken, but they found out and lynched Leo Frank. As for who actually killed the girl, it was a black man who was employed to clean up the factory. I think his first name was Jim.

Answer 2

Leo Frank confessed the murder of Mary Phagan, according to his janitor, Jim Conley, and -- according to the McKnight's, his wife, Lucille Selig.



Based on the statement's of Leo Frank, we know with almost absolute mathematical certainty, Leo Frank either murdered Mary Phagan alone in the metal room at the back of the factory on the second floor, or he enlisted his factory janitor, Jim Conley, to help him.



The pardon of Leo Frank in 1986, was without addressing his guilt or innocence.



Alonzo Mann's testimony in 1982, has been debunked as a hoax ever since then.



I encourage you to read the book, Murder of Mary Phagan, by Mary Phagan-Kean (1988, 1989), surprisingly, it gives the most even handed analysis of the Leo Frank case. You wouldn't expect that to happen, because the author is the grand-niece of Mary Phagan, but the book is the most accurate retelling of case in the last 100 years.



Senator Tom Watson, in his Watson's Magazine issues, August, September and October (1915), gives a legal analysis of the leo frank case from a seasoned criminal defense attorney.

Answer 3

Was Leo Frank Guilty

Answer 4

On April 26, 1913, Mary Phagan, the child of tenant farmers who had moved to Atlanta for financial gain, went to the pencil factory to pick up her $1.20 pay for the twelve hours she had worked that week. Leo Frank, the superintendent of the factory, paid her. He was the last person to acknowledge having seen Phagan alive.



Leo Mann was found guilty of killing the girl, however he was later pardoned.



The pardon was inspired in part by the 1982 testimony of eighty-three-year-old Alonzo Mann, who as an office boy had seen Jim Conley carrying Mary Phagan's body to the basement on the day of her death. Conley had threatened to kill Mann if he said anything, and the boy's mother advised him to keep silent. For those who thought Frank innocent, this provided confirmation; for those who believed him guilty, this was insufficient evidence to change their views.



I hope this is helpful.

Answer 5

Modern scholars have determined with a great deal of certainty that it was Leo Frank who strangled Mary Phagan. There are two books which deal with the case dispassionately and fairly. 1.) Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews Volume 3, April 26, 2016, and 2.) The Murder of Little Mary Phagan by Mary Phagan (her grand niece).



All the other books written about the Leo Frank case totally falsify and cherry pick the facts of the case. Steve Oney and Leonard Dinnerstein, wrote the two most biased and inaccurate books about the Leo Frank Case.



Read the four above stated books to learn what the 100 year old secret is about the Leo Frank Case.



Hint: Leo Frank told the Jury on August 18, 1913, that he might have unconsciously been at the scene of the crime, when the murdered occurred (in the men's toilet).



Basically Leo Frank gave away the secret to who killed Mary Phagan by admitting on the witness stand he was in the exact location Jim Conley said he found the dead body of Mary Phagan.
