Description
In 1913, thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan was found brutally murdered in the basement of the Atlanta pencil factory where she worked. The factory manager, a college-educated Jew named Leo Frank, was arrested, tried and convicted in a trial that seized national headlines. When the governor commuted his death sentence, Frank was kidnapped and lynched by a group of prominent local citizens. In part one of my two hour interview with Steve Owney, author of "And the Dead Shall Rise: The Murder of Mary Phagan and the Lynching of Leo Frank", he tells the story of little Mary's murder, the investigation that followed, and highlights of Frank's sensational trial. The book can be purchased both at your local bookstore and here: https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Shall-Rise-Murder-Lynching/dp/0679764232/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2XQ5DSKOSKKDF&keywords=And+the+Dead+Shall+Rise&qid=1644176792&sprefix=and+the+dead+shall+rise%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-1
