 The Leo Frank Case
By Steve Oney

CEnter Theatre Group Board of Directors The elements could hardly have been more volatile.
On Confederate Memorial Day, 1913, a 13-year-old child laborer

named Mary Phagan was strangled to death in the Atlanta,
Honorary Chairman Harold Applebaum Georgia, pencil factory where she worked. The last person
Lew R. Wasserman† Ronald J. Arnault* to admit seeing her alive was the plant superintendent, Leo
Pamela Beck Frank, a Cornell-educated Northerner and, of vital importance,
Chairman Judith Beckmen
a Jew. Local newspapers led by William Randolph Hearst’s
Richard Kagan Norris J. Bishton, Jr.
Marcy Carsey Atlanta Georgian ran wild with the story, setting the stage for
President Gordon Davidson* a sensational, month-long trial during which Jim Conley, a
Martin Massman Cástulo de la Rocha black man with an extensive criminal record, accused Frank
Charles Dillingham of murdering the Phagan girl after she repulsed his sexual

advances. Astonishingly in the Jim Crow South, an all-white jury

In the aftermath of Frank’s conviction, Dr. David Marx, rabbi

*Director Emeritus
† Deceased The efforts of Frank’s wealthy Northern allies sparked a
backlash across the South, particularly in Atlanta. In a region that
during the teens was still bridling from defeat in the Civil War
and reeling from the depredations real and imagined inflicted
by the Union army, any hint of what was known as “outside
interference” risked inspiring violent resentment. A fierce
Georgia demagogue and future United States senator named
Tom Watson gave voice to this opposing view. In the pages of his
influential weekly newspaper, The Jeffersonian, Watson attacked
the plant boss’s supporters. As he saw it, Northern Jews were
trying to subvert the judgment of the Georgia courts to free a
“lecherous Jew” who had raped and slain a child laborer who
toiled in a dehumanizing setting for pennies an hour. Watson,

ALFRED UHRY (Book)
is distinguished as
the first American
playwright to have
won a Pulitzer Prize,
an Academy Award
and a Tony Award. 
A graduate of Brown University, Mr.
Uhry began his professional career as
a lyric writer under contract to the late
Frank Loesser. His first major success
came when he collaborated with Robert
Waldman on a musical adaptation of
Eudora Welty’s The Robber Bridegroom
which opened at the Mark Taper Forum
in 1976 and went to Broadway, winning
Mr Uhry his first Tony nomination.  Drama Critics’ Circle Awards for Best
He followed that with five recreated
musicals at the Goodspeed Opera
House.  His first play, Driving Miss Daisy,
opened at Playwrights Horizons in New
York in 1987.  It moved subsequently to
the John Houseman Theatre, where it
ran for three years and won the Pulitzer
Prize in 1988.  The film version, starring
Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman,
won the Academy Award for Best
Adapted Screenplay in 1990.  The film
was also chosen as Best Picture.  His
next play, The Last Night of Ballyhoo, was
commissioned by the Cultural Olympiad
for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.  It
opened on Broadway the next year
where it ran for 550 performances and

The Leo Frank Case (continued from pg. 2)
the embodiment of the unreconstructed Southerner, despised
industrialization, loathed Wall Street, and, resorted to anti-
Semitism in the battle. “Jew money has debased us, bought
us, and sold us – and laughs at us,” he wrote. “In the name
of God, what are the people to do?” Such were Watson’s
rhetorical gifts that he inflamed many readers with his dark
passions.
From 1913 to 1915 – the time it took for Frank’s appeals to
wend their way through the courts – America was transfixed
by the case. Not only was it regularly on the front page of
The New York Times and featured in weekly magazines, but
it was the topic of news reels and a documentary film. There
were petition drives, mass meetings and public protests.
Through it all, a stoic and largely silent Frank sat in an
Atlanta jail, supported by his wife, Lucille, and a close circle
of friends. In June of 1915, on the eve of the execution date,
Georgia Governor John Slaton, long plagued by doubts about
Frank’s guilt, came to the conclusion that he was innocent
and commuted his death sentence to life imprisonment. This
action, far from tamping down hostilities in Georgia, brought
them to a hideous climax, destroying Slaton’s political
career and inspiring the worst outburst of anti-Semitism in
American history. mystery intrigues us. The horror serves as a warning.
Today, nearly one hundred years later, the Leo Frank
case remains fascinating, perplexing and disturbing. Most
scholars are now skeptical of the account advanced by the
state’s star witness. Jim Conley was in the factory the day
of Mary Phagan’s murder, and suspicion could have easily
fallen on him. Scared but cunning, he sold himself to the
authorities and later to the jury as “their Negro,” making the
racism that would have normally worked against him work
for him. Frank, the Jewish outsider, provided the perfect
scapegoat. Nonetheless, legitimate questions about the
plant superintendent’s behavior remain unanswered. He was
exceedingly nervous at the time of his arrest, told conflicting
tales, and came across at his trial as cold and unfeeling. He
seemed to value profit above the welfare of his workers. The
expensive campaign on his behalf by Ochs and others only
underscored the negative view. Like many old crimes that
still captivate us, the murder of Mary Phagan is shrouded in
ambiguities.
There is, however, no ambiguity when it comes to why the
story matters and why it merits continued attention. The
issues that came into play in the Frank case – class anxiety,
yellow journalism, the exploitation of labor, anti-Semitism
and the ways in which the efforts of well-meaning people can
backfire – are of enduring significance. Indeed, the Frank case
resonates with some of the polarities that still divide America.
A terrible miscarriage of justice occurred in Atlanta. The
