LEO FRANK
Last night, August, 16, 1915, Leo frank was lynched by the prominent citizens of Marietta. Leo frank was put into court after the murder of Mary Phagan, the child of tenant farmers who had moved to Atlanta for financial gain. Mary Went to Frank’s pencil factory to get her $1.20 that he’d owe her from the twelve hours she worked that week. Frank was the last person to see her alive.
The young lady was found in the cellar by the night watchman, Newt Lee. He called the police, and told them that she had been sexually assaulted and murdered. The next morning, when police showed up at Leo’s house, he seemed nervous. The police escorted him to the factory to see Phagan’s body. A single policeman knew the girl, and identified her.
