The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Seven

In 1913 Atlanta, the Leo Frank defense team used the "race card" to unjustly attack prosecution witness James Conley, a black man, and characterize the sex killing of Mary Phagan as a "Negro crime" for which Leo Frank, president of the Atlanta B'nai B'rith, would be "incapable." The defense promoted the idea of a separate category of testimony called "Negro testimony," which jurors should ignore or regard as false. However, the race-baiting strategy failed, and the all-white jury believed the black man.

Leo Frank's own statement to the court, which is not considered testimony, was made under Georgia law at the time. Under Georgia law, defendants had the right to make an unsworn statement and deny the prosecution the right to cross-examine them on it. Frank spoke for hours on end, mainly telling the jury about the intricacies of managing the accounts of the pencil factory where he was superintendent. This was done to give the impression that he would have been so busy with his books on that fatal day that he would not have had time to commit the murder and move the body to the basement. The race-baiting strategy ultimately failed, and the all-white jury believed the black man.
