By Penelope Lee on November 9, 2018

by Philip St. Raymondfor The American Mercury WITH THIS audio recording, “Leo Frank Case Timeline,” we come to the final section of this important book. In combination with last week’s section setting forth the dramatis personae of this tragic, gripping tale, the listener can put the entire case in proper perspective.

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 28

By Philip St. Raymond on November 2, 2018

by Philip St. Raymondfor The American Mercury THE TITLE of this section of the book — “Who’s Who in the Leo Frank Case” — might sound like it’s describing a dry, lifeless list of names. But it is not. This is a most valuable and interesting piece for every serious student of the Leo Frank case. […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 27

By Ann Hendon on October 26, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury AS WE NEAR the end of this monumental audio book, we hear the long and moving list of lynching victims, contemporaries of Leo Frank — dozens upon dozens of names, and even some poor souls without names, so unsung were they and so uninvestigated were their murders. After […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 26

By Ann Hendon on October 19, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury THE LEO Frank case marked the maturation of — and radical changes in — the organized Jewish strategies relating to both whites and blacks in the United States. Prior to the Frank case, Jewish groups had definitely positioned themselves (whatever they privately thought, which may have been quite […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 25

By Philip St. Raymond on October 12, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury 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 […]

The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 24

By Philip St. Raymond on October 4, 2018

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury THERE HAS NEVER been a better refutation of the 1982 supposed testimony of Alonzo Mann “exonerating” Leo Frank of the charge of murder than in this book by the Historical Research Department of the Nation of Islam. They bring up the points that writers for the Mercury have […]

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

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 Frank Case Unmasks the ADL

By Ann Hendon on September 27, 2018

by Ron Unz IN his 1981 memoirs, the far right Classics scholar Revilo P. Oliver characterized the ADL as “the formidable organization of Jewish cowboys who ride herd on their American cattle” and this seems a reasonably apt description to me. Although I had long recognized the power and influence of the ADL, a leading Jewish-activist […]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 […]
