The American Mercury on The Leo Frank Trial: Frank Takes the Stand
AT THE CLIMAX of the Leo Frank trial, an admission was made by the defendant that amounted to a confession during trial. How many times in the annals of US legal history has this happened? Something very unusual happened during the month-long People v. Leo M. Frank murder trial, held within Georgia’s Fulton County Superior Courthouse in the Summer of 1913. I’m going to show you evidence that Mr. Leo Max Frank inadvertently revealed the solution to the Mary Phagan murder mystery.

The video is the story of Governor John Marshall "Jack" Slaton (December 25th, 1866 - January 11th, 1955) of Georgia, who in the early 1900s lessened Leo Frank's sentencing. Leo Max Frank had been convicted of and sentenced to death for raping and murdering a young girl. 1964 Profiles in Courage, a Jewish supremacist Hollywood drama that rehabilitates the image of the corrupt 60th governor of Georgia, John Slaton, who commuted the death sentence of Georgia State's criminal defense client Leo Frank. He was represented by a law partner from his own private legal firm, Glenn and Slaton, to life imprisonment over his 1913 conviction for the rape-murder of 13-year old Mary Phagan. Thereby, when the Governor commuted the death sentence of Leo Frank, there was a blatant conflict of interest with the public's benefit and well-being as well as a subversive diversion from the noble causes of truth and justice.
Various attempts at corruption had been attempted by Leo Frank's legal defense team comprising of various opportunistic and unscrupulous individuals claiming to be lawyers tried to bribe eye witnesses in either retracting their testimonies or persuade police officials towards illegally retrieving the original documents related to the case. Leo Frank's friends and supporters were said to be paying witnesses to leave town or make fabricated affidavits against their previous testimonies. A secret police informant by the name of Colyar recorded Felder attempting to pay $1000 for the original Coleman affidavit and for copies of the confidential police files on the Mary Phagan case. One such example would be that of the conman and lawyer “Colonel” Thomas B. Felder who tried his best discredit the validity of the case by purchasing the original documentation of the charge sheet and related evidence against Leo Frank. Chief of Police Lanford exposed Felder as working for Leo Frank despite his denial. Felder went as far as falsely accusing Jim Conley the factory sweeper of possessing an affidavit where he admitted guilt in murdering Mary Phagan. Jim Conley of course denied this vehemently. The Atlanta Georgian on May 26, 1913 claimed that the bribery effort came from Frank's friends which Thomas Felder automatically branded as being that of a diabolical conspiracy. When things didn't work out with Thomas Felder's antics, he decided to discard his services to Leo Frank's defense team and then towed the line regarding the popular belief that "Jewish money" was protecting Leo Frank. Despite several appeals to various US institutions between August 27, 1913, to April 22, 1915, Leo Frank's legal team was not able to acquire a successful appeal.
The real-life 60th governor of Georgia was a corrupt politician and attorney, who was part-owner of the law firm that represented Leo Frank at his 1913 summer trial during his appeals to the Georgia Supreme Court from the Autumn of 1913 till the late winter of 1914. Governor Slaton in real life commuted the death sentence of his law client to life in prison. It was one on the worse ethics violation in Georgia History at the time, a gross conflict of interest and unethical to the extreme. Despite the bribery and corruption, Governor John M. Slaton didn't oppose the guilty verdict - he just lessened the sentencing in order to save his client's life in the hope that he could perhaps extract funds from him and his fellow Jewish bedfellows over a longer period of time thereby benefiting his Glenn and Slaton legal firm and his then-contemporary law partner representing Leo Frank.
Even after the death of Leo Frank - one of his earlier witnesses, Alonzo Mann, had been bribed to change the story as a death-bed confession. He falsely stated that Jim Conley was the real killer of Mary Phagan which was impossible to prove since the Negro factory sweeper had been long dead by then. Even then, his new and falsified testimony which is tantamount to a perjury didn't vindicate Leo Max Frank in any way shape or form especially since all the other witnesses had passed away by then. The corrupt and bought-out judge in the video had stated that Leo Frank was innocent to a very high degree. However in real life, the original Justice Hugh Dorsey who had presided over this case, had rejected Leo Frank's appeals for a new trial on more than 100 grounds.
The drama is an anti-Gentile Hollywood film written and produced by the Jewish Supremacists of the 1960s who falsify the facts and evidence of the Leo Frank case to smear the Southerners who convicted the homicidal Jewish serial pedophile Leo Frank for the rape and murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan.
The production company for this docudrama was produced by Robert Saudek Associates. Robert Saudek (April 11, 1911 - March 13, 1997) was an American TV producer and executive. He was also the Vice President of ABC. He was born into a Jewish family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and ended up marrying Elizabeth Koch from another wealthy German Jewish family.
Little Mary Phagan's grand-niece Mary Phagan-Kean tells about her experience living a life as a namesake for the original person. Mary Phagan-Kean was shocked when she found out that she was indeed named after the young girl that was murdered by the Jewish criminal Leo Max Frank. The grand-niece knows he is guilty but the Jewish media is trying to clear his name as usual even over a hundred years after the incident happened.
In Chapter 8 of the Leo Frank case, Judge W.D. Ellis swore in the Fulton County grand jury, emphasizing the need for immediate attention to the Mary Phagan case before any other charges. Leo M. Frank, the first witness, testified that he had formerly lived in Brooklyn, New York, and left by October 1907. By 1908 till the day of his arrest, he worked for the National Pencil Company in Atlanta, Georgia, and recounted his duties at the factory, including overseeing material purchases, inspecting factory costs, entering and filling orders, and overseeing production. He did not know Mary Phagan's number but handed her an envelope with her employee's number stamped on it. Frank made no entry of the payment, as none was required. He explained that the Phagan child hadn't been working since Monday due to a shortage in the metal supply. He found Harry Denham, Arthur White, and Mrs. White, two employees of the factory, and went home and returned to the factory around 1:20 p.m. Saturday afternoon. He borrowed $2 from him and spent the rest of the afternoon working on the financial sheet. Frank continued his story the following Sunday, detailing his conversation with Lee at the police station on the Monday following the murder. Find out all the details of what happened during the initial phase of interviews and investigations by the Atlanta police.
ON THE HEELS of Leo Frank’s astounding unsworn statement to the court, the defense called a number of women who stated that they had never experienced any improper sexual advances on the part of Frank. But the prosecution rebutted that testimony with several rather persuasive female witnesses of its own. These rebuttal witnesses also addressed Frank’s claims that he was so unfamiliar with Mary Phagan that he did not even know her by name.

THE LAWS OF Georgia are extraordinarily favorable to a person accused of crime. He is not only protected in all of his rights under the Constitution of the United States, but he enjoys privileges far beyond those limits. No indictment against him will stand, if it can be shown that a single grand juror was disqualified, or failed to take an oath on that particular case...

TODAY we continue the new audio book version of the American Mercury’s centenary series on the 1913 trial and conviction of Jewish sex killer Leo Frank, recorded by Vanessa Neubauer. Many have described this as the trial of the century: Not only did it forever alter Jewish-Gentile relations in the United States, but some say it profoundly changed the attitude of Jews toward their hosts from one of relatively benign interaction to one of active suspicion if not hostility. What is certain is that the founding of the powerful Jewish pressure group, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), was closely tied to the case. Leo Frank was the president of the Atlanta chapter of B’nai B’rith, the parent organization of the ADL.

Was the Leo Frank Trial tainted by attitudes of bigotry against those who practice Judaism? Was it a typical anti-Semitic canard? This third installment by Watson continues on with the Leo Frank case and trial.
THE PROPAGANDA DISGUISED as journalism put forth by the partisans of Leo Frank has been ongoing for more than a century now. But for pure bluster, shallowness, self-promotion, and incompetence, there is none as egregious as the Nashville Tennessean’s money-fueled subsidy and promotion of the Alonzo Mann hoax in 1982.
