    Description

    Great LEO FRANK Lynched LYNCHING Hanged Mary Phagan Murderer ? 1915 Newspaper
    (Note: additional images are located below the description)
    Offered is an original, historic, & collectible old newspaper: EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, California, Aug. 17, 1915
    * Leo Frank taken from jail
    * Lynched - lynching (early, same day report)
    * Mary Phagan murderer ?
    * Judaica - Jewish - Jews
    Although we have offered a number of issues on the lynching of Leo Frank, this is likely the most dramatic front page account we have seen.
    Those not familiar with the event, this is the story of Leo Frank, the Jewish factory superintendent in Atlanta who was found guilty of murdering a 13 year-old employee. His legal case, and lynching two years later, attracted national attention (evidenced by this ftpg. report from 3000 miles away) and became the focus of social, regional, political, and racial concerns, particularly regarding antisemitism.
    The large & banner headline--in red ink no less--announces:
    "
    MOB HANGS LEO FRANK
    "
    with a subhead: "
    Body Left Suspended For Hours; No Trace Of Lynchers Found
    ". Featured also on the front page is a montage of photos of Leo Frank, his wife, and other "...principal figures in Frank case...".
    The report carries over to page 5.
    Complete in 12 pages, in surprisingly great condition with essentially no fragility as would normally be expected.
    Please Note: All of our offerings are 100% authentic! We do not offer reprints or reproductions of any kind. They are guaranteed to be original!
