WHEN LEO FRANK was first arrested for the murder of Mary Phagan on Tuesday morning, April 29, 1913 at 11:30 a.m., his and his defense team’s major focus was placing the blame on old Newt Lee, the Black nightwatchman who discovered the murdered girl’s body dumped at the rear of the basement. 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 (many people had seen Conley on the morning of the murder sitting in the lobby). This was a most unusual and revealing omission, since the sighting could have been used by the defense early on to place suspicion on Conley, but they deliberately decided not to do that for what was later revealed to be obvious reasons. This lends considerable credence to the prosecution theory, backed up by Conley’s own testimony, that Conley helped Frank move the body and wrote the death notes (at the behest of Frank) which became an embarrassingly ham-handed attempt to frame-up Newt Lee.

In this, the fourth audio segment of this excellent scholarly book originally published by the Nation of Islam — the best researched book we have seen on this subject — we also learn how the Frank defense team, having failed to fix the murder on the Negro graveyard shift security guard (his shift ended at 6:30 a.m.), suddenly “discovered” the Negro Jim Conley and tried to blame him for the sex-murder and sloppy cover-up.

Leo Frank even attempted to take credit for alerting investigators to the fact that Jim Conley could write (he had been feigning illiteracy to avoid any connection with the “death notes” found by Mary Phagan’s body), though the testimony of all the detectives, even the detectives hired by Frank, was that Frank had nothing to do with that discovery. Frank even admits he waited two weeks to tell police Conley could read and write, but the police had found this out already when they questioned a pawnshop proprietor (review the Atlanta newspaper reports).
This new audio book, based on the Nation of Islam’s The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, is the best investigative effort made on the Leo Frank case in the last 100 years, it will take you on time traveler's trip into the past — to the greatest American murder mystery of all time; a mystery that will reveal to you the hidden forces that shape our modern world even at present.
