The Leo Frank Case: Frank's Alibi - Inside Story of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery

This is the eighteenth Chapter in the 22-part series of 'Leo Frank Case: Inside Story Of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery'.

The case revolves around the murder of Leo M. Frank, a factory superintendent who was accused of murdering Mary Phagan. A multitude of witnesses testified to his alibi, including Miss Helen Curran, Mrs. M. G. Michael, Mrs. A. B. Levy, Cohen Loeb, and Mrs. Rebecca Carson. Former employees of the factory also testified that they had never seen improper conduct on the part of Frank or anyone else connected with the factory.

Frank's friends of the Selig family testified that he exhibited no signs of nervousness on the night of April 26, and that he was laboring under no extraordinary mental strain. On August 16, Mrs. Rae Frank took the stand in her son's behalf, identifying a letter addressed to his wealthy uncle, M. Frank, which formed another link in Frank's time alibi.

The defense called 100 more witnesses to testify about Frank's good character, most of whom were girls employed on the fourth floor of the pencil factory. Mrs. E. H. Carson testified that Frank's character was good and that she had never heard a word of criticism against him about the factory. Many other women employees of the factory testified that their character was beyond reproach.

Attorney Arnold asked them if they had ever met Leo M. Frank for an immoral purpose, and every answer was emphatically negative. One woman became so perturbed that she declared she would die for her superior. Miss Irene Jackson was called by the defense as a character witness, but the prosecution drew from her startling testimony.

Harlee Branch, a reporter for the Atlanta Journal, was called to tell of an interview with Conley when he was confined to the county jail. Conley denied several weeks after the murder seeing Lemmie Quinn enter the factory on April 26. Nearly everyone of the employees connected with the factory said that Conley had a bad character and that they would not believe him on oath. Hear about the defense team in this audio recording bring about eyewitnesses accounts and testimony as well as letters advocating for Leo Frank's high moral aptitude and character who never indulged in sexual misconduct with any of his female employees and the only other suspect remaining and capable of doing such a dastardly crime would be the janitor Jim Conley.
