The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 23

Published by Philip St. Raymond on September 27, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury ATTORNEY WILLIAM SMITH traded his “free” services as a lawyer for James Conley for the influence of an agent of the William Burns detective agency, Dan Lehon, in an unrelated abduction case — illustrating either extreme naïveté or weak legal ethics on Smith’s part. Smith’s defection from advocate […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 22

Published by Philip St. Raymond on September 20, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury ONE OF the weirdest aspects of the Leo Frank case was the — shall we say — strained effort of the Frank team to make some human excrement found in the National Pencil Company elevator shaft into a “proof” that Leo Frank was innocent of murdering Mary Phagan. […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 21

Published by Philip St. Raymond on September 13, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury THE “death notes” left beside Mary Phagan’s body when she was murdered in 1913 have been the subject of endless speculation. Were the notes written by James Conley at the direction of Mary’s convicted killer, Leo Frank? — or were they Conley’s creation alone? — or were they […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 20

Published by Philip St. Raymond on September 6, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury ONE OF the most mysterious aspects of the Leo Frank case is the series of “death notes,” four of which were written, according to testimony, but only two of which were ever found. They were discovered right next to the dead body of Frank’s victim, 13-year-old Mary Phagan. […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 19

Published by Philip St. Raymond on August 30, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury THE TESTIMONY of Black men and women was pivotal in the trial of Leo M. Frank for the murder of Mary Phagan, and was so regarded by both the prosecution and defense. But little-heralded then, or now, is the horribly bad treatment these Black witnesses repeatedly received. The […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 18

Published by Philip St. Raymond on August 23, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury WHICH GETS MORE coverage in the media: the singular instance of one solitary Jew, Leo Frank (who was duly convicted of the sex murder of a young girl), being lynched — or the literally hundreds of Black men lynched around the same time in the South without even […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 17

Published by Philip St. Raymond on August 16, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury WHILE THE supposedly angelic and innocent Leo Frank and his alleged persecution at the hands of “anti-Semites” was a propaganda asset to the Jewish establishment, did it eventually dawn on Jewish leadership that the real Leo Frank, during any possible new trial they might obtain for him with […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 16

Published by Philip St. Raymond on August 9, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury IS IT POSSIBLE that the Jewish community — namely, the same forces that launched the massive public relations campaign portraying Leo Frank as an innocent victim of “anti-Semitism” — had a hand in murdering him? If not, then why did the Jewish-owned New York Times (the flagship of […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 15

Published by Philip St. Raymond on August 2, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury WHO LYNCHED Leo Frank? The culpability is often laid at the feet of a “mob” in the popular literature that promotes the Establishment’s narrative of the case. But was it a mob? How many “mobs” consist of the leading citizens of the community? How many “mobs” have as […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 12

Published by Philip St. Raymond on July 12, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury TO HEAR the attacks made on the character of James Conley — a major witness against Leo Frank when Frank was tried for murdering a 13-year-old girl in his employ, Mary Phagan — you could easily be forgiven for assuming that you were hearing a speech from a […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 9

Published by Philip St. Raymond on June 21, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury JEWISH WRITERS on the Leo Frank case have made some astounding claims about the “atmosphere of anti-Semitism” during the trial of B’nai B’rith official Leo Frank for the strangulation sex murder of his 13-year-old employee, Mary Phagan, in 1913 Atlanta. There were, we are told, “anti-Semitic” mobs (yes, […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 8

Published by Philip St. Raymond on June 14, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury THE PROSECUTION in the Leo Frank case never mentioned the word “Jew” until it was brought up by the defense — and lead prosecutor Hugh Dorsey had a long history of friendly relations and close collaboration with Jews throughout his life and career. So the accusation, common today […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 7

Published by Philip St. Raymond on June 7, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury WE HEAR A LOT today about people “playing the race card” — using race unjustly in a dispute, or as a moral bludgeon to obscure the facts. In 1913 Atlanta, the Leo Frank defense team played the race card — and in a very big way. Interestingly, the […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 6

Published by Philip St. Raymond on May 31, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury PARTISANS OF Leo Frank have often tried to discredit Jim Conley’s testimony by pointing out that his account of the visit of Corinthia Hall and Emma Clark to the pencil factory where the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan took place was off by more than an hour. But […]
