(Leo Frank hangs. “Lynch law better than no law,” said Tom Watson) 

henrymakow.com — May 9, 2021

In 1915, Georgia Governor John Slaton was almost lynched when he commuted the death sentence of a prominent Jew, Leo Frank, who was convicted of raping and murdering a child. Then, the people of Georgia took the law into their own hands and strung up Leo Frank.

Saturday, April 26th, 1913 –  (noon)

Leo Frank had Conley (a black man) to ‘watch out’ for him while he ‘chatted’ with 12-year-old little Mary Phagan who had come to pick-up her weekly pay from working at the pencil factory. Frank demanded sex, and Phagan refused. Next, Frank in cocaine-induced rage, beat her mercilessly. He then pulled her underwear off, tied it around her throat, and raped her. After Frank finished he strangled her to death with the cord.

Frank then summons Conley into the office, where he finds Leo crouching over the unconscious girl. Leo tells him that Mary had resisted his advances, and when he grabbed her, had fallen and struck her head. When he had finished with her, he decided to kill her with a garrote.

Mary Phagan has been strangled with a seven-foot length of cord tied in a slipknot still tightly wrapped around her neck. Quantities of cord of this character are found throughout the building.  Her tongue is swollen and protruding.  She has soot on her face, dirt in her eyes, and cinders in her mouth and nostrils.  She has a black eye, there are wounds on her scalp and below the knee and scratches on the elbow, and her clothing has been torn.  There is fresh blood in her underclothing, and she appears to have been raped vaginally and anally.  She has also been robbed, her purse containing the $1.20 is missing.
