A nice, complete, presentable copy. LEO FRANK, a Jew, was tried and convicted for the 1913 murder of 13 year old Mary Phagan who worked at the factory where Frank was a superintendent. Frank was convicted based substantially on the testimony of Jim Conley, an African-American who worked as a janitor at the factory. Frank appealed his conviction and his last appeal was denied in April 2015. He was sentenced to life in prison. A few months later Leo Frank was pulled from his cell by an armed mob and lynched. From Wikipedia: "Leo Frank and his lawyers made a series of unsuccessful appeals; their final appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States failed in April 1915. Considering arguments from both sides as well as evidence not available at trial, Governor John M. Slaton commuted Frank's sentence from capital punishment to life imprisonment. The case attracted national press attention and many reporters deemed the conviction a travesty. Within Georgia, this outside criticism fueled antisemitism and hatred toward Frank. On August 16, 1915, he was kidnapped from prison by a group of armed men, and lynched at Marietta, Mary Phagan's hometown, the next morning." Anti-semitism and racism infested the trial of Leo Frank and continues to infest it today. Many historians believe Leo Frank was innocent and that Jim Conley was the real murderer, while others believe that trying to blame Conley is ongoing racism. "Leo Frank's case spurred the creation of the Anti-Defamation League and the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan." - Wikipedia You can read all about Leo Frank, Mary Phagan, Jim Conley, and the trial on Wikipedia and numerous Internet sites.

Original booklets are extremely rare and difficult to find.****** About Leo Frank (from Wikipedia): ******Leo Max Frank, b.1884 - d.1915, was an American factory superintendent and lynching victim. He was convicted in 1913 of the murder of a 13-year-old employee, Mary Phagan, in Atlanta, Georgia. Frank's trial, conviction, and unsuccessful appeals attracted national attention. His kidnapping from prison and lynching became the focus of social, regional, political, and racial concerns, particularly regarding antisemitism. Modern researchers generally agree that Frank was wrongly convicted. The African American press condemned the lynching, but many African Americans also opposed Frank and his supporters over what historian Nancy MacLean described as a "virulently racist" characterization of Jim Conley, who was Black.******.

This is the first printing of a defense attorney's heart-wrenching post-trial speech. It was addressed to the trial court in the Leo Frank case; a trial rife with misallegations, steeped in issues of racism, antisemitism and child labor, that resulted in a lynching and major implications for the Jewish population of Georgia. Leo Frank was a Jewish community leader and superintendent of the National Pencil Company factory in Atlanta in 1913, when Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old girl who worked at the factory, was found beaten, strangled and likely raped in its cellar. Largely based on the testimony of Jim Conley, an African American janitor at the factory, Frank was convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Upon appeals, the last of which occurred in April 1915, his sentence was reduced to life in prison. Four months later, he was kidnapped from his cell by a group of armed men and lynched in Marietta, Mary's hometown. The case drew national media attention and fueled antisemitism and ire. At a 1913 conference on emerging child labor concerns, participants partly blamed Jewish factory owners. The lynchers, while locally known, were never identified or charged. Around half of Georgia's 3,000 Jews left the state. The case was referenced in the 1913 founding of the AntiDefamation League, and likely contributed to the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, which occurred just one month after the lynching. The general consensus among researchers is of the innocence of Leo Frank. In the present speech, addressed in the month that his client had been sentenced to be hanged, Frank's attorney Reuben Arnold declared that "It takes thirteen jurors to murder a man in cold blood" and that he felt "not only justified but required . . . to argue to the court the facts of this unusual case, and to give the reasons why the verdict of guilty should be set aside." Arnold particularly chastised the spectacle that the trial had become: "And how deadly is the spirit of the mob! . . . Sentiment, prejudice, excitement, had taken the place of justice . . . Argument was lost upon that jury . . . The cry rang out, 'The Jew did it.' Slanders against Frank were poured in the people's ears. He was locked up in jail and had no chance to meet them. The seeds of prejudice were sown broadcast and Frank was condemned in the public mind." An important work in legal and Jewish history, traversing myriad social issues. Reasonably well-represented in institutions.
