Leo M. Frank (1884-1915), a Jewish factory superintendent in Atlanta, was convicted under murky circumstances and evidence of the murder a 13-year-old female employee of the factory. Although his sentence was commuted by the Governor to life in prison following an unsuccessful appeal to the Supreme Court, a mob kidnapped him from prison and lynched him at Marietta. Modern research and analysis has determined that Frank was wrongly convicted and his conviction and lynching largely due to anti-semitism. The Frank case was among the factors which led to the founding of the Anti-Defamation League.
This sammelband assembled by Herbert J. Hannoch, a noted Jewish attorney from Newark, NJ. Included is a typescript of a presumably unpublished lecture about the case given to the Philonians.
