Abstract:
Quotes two witnesses who claimed to have seen the factory custodian Jim Conley carrying the dead body of Mary Phagan to the factory basement. Bullied by Conley, they failed to make declarations in defense of Leo Frank at his court trial in 1913. Had they testified to what they had seen, Frank could have been vindicated. One of these testimonies, by Alonzo Mann in 1982, was insufficient to pardon Frank posthumously by the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles in this year.
