THE PEOPLE V. LEO FRANK
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 @ 7:30PM & 12:30AM
In the pre-dawn hours of April 27, 1913, the night watchman at an Atlanta pencil factory made a grisly discovery: the body of a young girl. She had been beaten, strangled, and possibly raped. The death of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, a white worker at the factory, quickly became front-page news. Several arrests were made, including Jim Conley, a black janitor at the factory. Also arrested was Leo Frank, the factory’s superintendent and the last person to admit seeing Mary alive.
