Descriptions

On April 26, 1913, Mary Phagan stopped by the Atlanta Pencil Company to pick up her pay check. She never left the building. She was found brutally raped and murdered in the basement. After considering the African American watchman as the prime suspect, police turned to Leo Frank. In an historic trial with protestors yelling anti-Semitic words through the open windows, Leo Frank was convicted. When the Governor commuted his sentence, the Ku Klux Klan broke into the prison and drove Frank to Marietta, where he was hanged. Painstaking research yielded this important book. Suitable for teens to adults.
