By Christopher Powell Connolly

Book Overview

The Truth About The Frank Case is a book written by Christopher Powell Connolly in 1915. The book is a detailed account of the infamous Leo Frank case, which was one of the most controversial cases in American legal history. The case involved the brutal murder of a young girl named Mary Phagan in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1913. Leo Frank, a Jewish factory superintendent, was accused of the murder and was subsequently convicted and sentenced to death.The book provides an in-depth analysis of the case, including the investigation, trial, and subsequent appeals. It also examines the social and political context of the case, including the anti-Semitic sentiments that were prevalent in the South at the time. Connolly presents a compelling argument that Frank was wrongly convicted and that the case was marred by prejudice and bias.The book is well-researched and contains extensive quotes from court transcripts, newspaper articles, and other primary sources. It also includes photographs and illustrations that help to bring the story to life. The Truth About The Frank Case is a fascinating read for anyone interested in American legal history, social justice, and the fight against prejudice and discrimination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
