The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, part 7

Has Audio

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury WE HEAR A LOT today about people "playing the race card" — using race unjustly in a dispute, or as a moral bludgeon to obscure the facts. In 1913 Atlanta, the Leo Frank defense team played the race card — and in a very big way. Interestingly, the pro-Frank forces used race in a way that most people would find grossly unacceptable today: crudely attacking prosecution witness James Conley, a black man, in open court and on the record as a "dirty," "lying," "thieving" "nigger" — and characterizing the sex killing of Mary

But these Frank partisans fail to note that Conley never stated that he saw the two young woman at all — he was merely told that they were there by Leo Frank, who had hustled him into a dark, locked closet after Frank announced the two

by Philip St. Raymond for The American Mercury JIM Conley's testimony in the Leo Frank case riveted the attention of not only all those present in the courtroom, but the entire state of Georgia and beyond hung on his words as they were reported. Despite being a member of a disparaged minority, Conley's word was given respectful attention — and ultimately was even believed over the word of Leo Frank, an elite Jewish man considered white by the standards of the American South. This was unprecedented, but it was also inevitable given the detail, plausibility, and unshakable nature of Conley's evidence.

They were so eager to avoid any attention being given to another Black man, Jim Conley, the factory sweeper who later was shown to be Frank's accessory after the fact — that they totally ignored the sighting of Conley by a witness on the day of the murder.
