The ADL was formed to protect Jim Conely?

Yes and they still won't let this story. Leo Frank was sentenced to hang by a jury that included many Jewish. He tried to blame it on a black man and ended up being lynched

@@reapthewhirlwind4166 Let's not forget that the evidence was so overwhelmingly clear that Leo Frank murdered and graped a innocent little girl, 13 year old Mary Phagan, the KKK (Klu Klux Klan) came to the defense of the black man Leo Frank was trying to frame as the purpetrator of the crimes...KKK coming to speak in the defense of a black man in deep south Georgia at a time when racism was still quite a thing should say alot about just how guilty Leo Frank was, and what a sick evil disgusting man he indeed was... He got what he deserved!!!

Most jews blame blacks for their problems

Was she murdered on Passover?

@Sharon Q Sad thing is in the south she was of marrying age, which is terrible, jerry lee lewis is one guy that springs to mind, bloody terrible.

@Tom Hirens…you’re exactly right. Once a young girl had her first menstrual cycle, she was considered a woman and then able to be married off. This happened to my Granny. She was only 13 when she was married off to my Grandpa (old lecher is more like it, Grandpa or not) and he was a full grown man of 33. I can’t even begin to imagine, being so young, scared to death & married off to someone more than twice your age. Unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated incident and parents married off young daughters like this all the time. People were dirt poor, times were hard and if you married off a daughter that was one less mouth sitting at the dinner table that you had to feed. That sounds harsh but it’s the truth & how a lot of people looked at it. My Grandpa passed away when he was 77. My Grandma never remarried even though she was only in her late 50’s when he passed. She always said that there wasn’t enough money in the world to make her want to deal with all the bulls@*t a second time around. She had a hard life. As a younger man my Grandpa was a drunk & a gambler. A ne’er do well who left home and stayed gone for sometimes months at a time. When he did come home he’d either be flat busted or with his pockets stuffed full with cash. My Granny never saw any of it though. The only time my Pa was ever generous was at Christmas time. The kids usually got a peppermint stick, a stocking filled with fruit, nuts, and a little bit of penny candy and a new pair of shoes that were expected to last all year. If a kid had a growth spurt and grew out of their shoes before the next Christmas, they were usually SOL. My Granny always said that if it hadn’t been for a few good neighbors, a lot of times she, my dad, and his brothers and sister would have starved. It’s hard to visualize with the abundance of everything that we have today that there was a time when people were just so desperately poor that even small children were expected to work. So very sad that any child should have to suffer in that way. 😢

@@MeMe-nw9mq wow, thanks for the insight.

Yes Ron, thank you for all you do. Alot of times you are the last voice of the innocent, or should I say the last caring voice of the innocent. The flowers you put on some of the graves are heart touching. I'm thinking of the yellow roses you have placed on several graves at one time. (Mothers, sisters, daughters, sons etc....thank you for having such a warm and kind heart.

It's jus as sad as The George Stinney Jr. Trial.. :'(

Yeah it is a beautiful cemetery, the stones there are pretty amazing. Thanks for stopping by Rhett.

I feel so sad for her 😭

I agree completely... wouldn't it be wonderful if this case was definitively solved

Wouldn’t THIS be fascinating, though! Marvelous advances in DNA testing. But do we have DNA evidence in this case that contains so many layers?

@@31Alden it was a famous case. They may have kept some of the evidence just for posterity. Who knows? It could be on display in the local museum or police archives bldg.

Antisocial personality disorder is an inability to feel anxiety so those with this disorder have little or no conscience. Anxiety seems to be our inner police officer forcing us not to kill or harm each other. I think we should use gene editing tools like CRISPR to give everyone the ability to feel anxiety.

Why would it matter? That would be a ridiculous waste of resources given everyone involved is dead and dirt

Well what did she say about it?

They are beautiful. My favorite here is oakwood cemetery. So peaceful and beautiful. My granny actually lived few houses from it . So she could walk to it because of my grandpa and two children

There would also be many presditors thinking twice before preying on children.

ty Angela, you inspire me!

@@susanivy3619 I have no idea what really happened but I was just trying to imagine what would have kept Mary from leaving ASAP after getting paid (IF she was attacked at her work station). I envisioned her boss, after handing her pay packet, telling her that he needs to show her something in her area. She would probably go willingly. I have no clue. Those were just my thoughts. My grandparents didn't know either. I am certainly no expert . Just speculating.

My grandmother used to sing that song to us, too. My grandmother was born in 1903 so she would have been a very young girl when Mary died but it made a big impression on her. I guess the 1982 death bed testimony reignited interest in the story because there was a TV movie about the story back in the 1980's. I remember my grandmother was very excited to see the movie on TV and she told me all about what she heard back when she was a little girl.

@@letitbee7248 thanks for mentioning the movie. Just looked it up on KZfaq. About to watch it now

I agree a young white girls isn't going anywhere with a black man at that time and i'm a black woman that knows my history and the hatred towards blk ppl even today. I think Jim witnessed it and was the clean up guy. And i'm quite sure if the white men of that time thought any blk man was responsible there wouldn't have been a trial they would have found a tree.

@@SuperTruthful I'm afraid you are probably right.

If she was ugly would she have deserved it?

No child would deserve this.

Indeed Rest in Peace Angel Mary Phagan & thanks for trying to plead the case of those who support your cause to the angels close to God the Father & Christ the Son!

I have to agree with you that cemeteries are fascinating, especially century cemeteries. I like to stroll thru the older ones & read the stones. I also thought I must be morbid, or something wrong with me... but actually it's history. These are all people who existed. They had a life, a job, families, and were an existence in their time. I like to wonder what they were like, what they did, what life was like to live in that time. The older tomb stones tell the most detailed stories ... their birth date, and date of death, down to not only years & months of existance but days as well. Sometimes they even reveal how they died. This is a very interesting site, glad I found it. ....And in my opinion I think they got the right guy for this crime. His behaviour alone, when first interviewed, is tell-tale.. and the fact that he tried to say he hadn't seen Mary - but when confronted with their knowledge of Mary being there to get her pay... then he tried to redeem himself by suddenly remembering "Oh yeah, she was in to get her pay" . ... You don't forget a detail like that. He probably figured, with racism being the way it was, that he could get away with it and have a scapegoat in a black man being in the building too. RIP Little Mary.

That little "----" dash between birth date and death date is how you spent your life.

@@lindagordon2977 exactly. I always wonder what was in that dash meaning, how they spent their life. Who were they, where did they work, were they married, did they have children etc.

Pitter Pat Have you read the poem called “The Dash” by Linda Ellis? I heard it fir the first time last year at a family friend’s funeral & it’s definitely a very powerful poem!

@@nikkilynnebreder3233 I looked up the poem and loved it! Thank you for mentioning that to me.

You mean Conley/Connelly might have killed OTHERS???

@@amysbees6686 yes.. look into the Cabbage town serial killer aka the Atlanta Ripper! It's crazy

You beat me to the Frey's Gin Rd part. I agree with you. I think it was Conely

It was almost certainly Conley. I remember reading deep into this story when I moved to Atlanta about 8 years ago, the few locals that are left are still very positive it was Leo. Not because of evidence, but because Leo was Jewish and from the north. Leo never stood a chance, he was lynched because of his race and post-reconstruction era sentiments. Cabbage Town is a cool little place, especially Little's. Keep Cabbage Town shitty.

@@westenicho At the time Jewish families owned many of the prominent businesses in Atlanta. Leo Frank lived in Druid Hills , which is where the movie Driving Miss Daisy was set. Atlanta had only got limited electricity in 1912. Rural families had migrated to the city looking for work. Many families then lived on what would be less than minimum wage today. Leo Frank was actually born in Cuero Texas , but his family was a relatively wealthy from New York. That Phagan was killed on a Confederate celebration day fueled the resentment toward a northern Jew. The conspirators who lynched Frank were well known but they were never prosecuted. The lynching led to the revival.of the KKK, which had faded since the 1800s. The pencil factory building still.exists.

Excellent questions!

Wow, being the daughter of a prominent rabbi, you don't get cremated. It's not a typical Jewish burial. That's curious, most definitely.

Will Connolly was an on-again-off-again employee who had been fired.

​@MmmBop he was a prominent wealthy white man who happen to be rabbi

Great questions. He also should’ve noted that governor Slayton had a conflict of interest, being that he was associated with Frank’s legal team. Slayton was then ran out of Georgia… only to come back 10 years later and suddenly become the president of the bar association for the state of Georgia…

Its an excellent book. I read it in 2016. I didn't put it down until I had finished it .I highly recommend it.

Thank you. I’ll look for it.

Actually, it's quite a poor illustration since he was innocent. Maybe you were thinking of OJ.

@@senecakw The evidence against Frank (which the maker of this video barely even addressed) is overwhelming. He did it, and the world was made better on the day he left it.

@@AnnexIptaru I've spent two years studying the case and can tell you it's way different than what the neo-Nazi's portray. There's direct, powerful evidence of Frank's innocence and Conley's guilt. Read the evidence and think for yourself.

Leo Frank evaded justice when the governor pardoned him. I'm glad he finally saw good ol' southern-style justice.

@@TeemoTemosson Good old racism, anti-Semitism, and lynching Southern style. Get stuffed.

Why did they pardon Frank? He was convicted and all of his appeals were rejected. Frank was guilty, and regardless of what the Anti Defecation League says, nothing changes all the facts of the case.

@@user-xc6wd3hb4s The facts of the case clearly show he was innocent. The Governor commuted his sentence for precisely that reason.

Even now in 2024 we still discuss it. May she rest in peace

Was she murdered on Passover ?

@@BarneyGimble Parshat Va'etchanan was the holiday

@@Noticer333 Candace Owens said is happened on Passover , are you saying she is wrong?

@@BarneyGimble what are you on about. I’m talking about the Phagan murder not some grifter black lady

What makes you think that?

What possible reason do you have for thinking Leo is innocent?? Every bit of information leads to him being guilty as hell.

I saw another coverage that said, Mary was on the train with a 14 year old friend, a boy. She made plams to meet with him and others later , she told him she did not like to pick up her check because she was scared of Leo. Other little girls testified that He was inapporate with them. But thats ftom another coverage. It all boils fown to what os really being covered and and by whom. More tjan a hundred years later, who really knows now?

Leo frank was so guilty that the KKK defended the black guy

@@samuelbarrett9403 The supposed evidence against Frank is a pile of garbage and the evidence for his innocence is solid and plentiful. Stop reading neo-Nazi propaganda, read the trial records for yourself and think for yourself. That's what I've tried to do and I was surprised by what the real evidence shows.

I believe he lived with that secret as long as he could. For a black man to accuse a white man back in those days was certainly death. Those days were not nice to the black people, traded people as slaves horrible conditions. The black girls that were permitted to live in the main house as maids were subject to the head of the house treating them as their on sex objects.

@@springbrown9769 I believe Conley did it, because of the man who confessed on his death bed that Conley did indeed do it! Why else would he point the finger at Conley!

The only physical evidence points to Connely. The governor proved Connely lied about using the elevator to transport the body. He lied about that so why believe anything else he had to say? Besides, would a college educated man like Frank believe a rambling note would fool the police? Why didn't Frank just point the finger at Connely if they were both involved? They found blood on Connely's clothes, not Frank's.

Leo Frank's only crime was being from somewhere else. Another man confessed to the crime on his deathbed.

@@samw8452 .....you seem confused......no man confessed to the crime on his deathbed.....you may want to rewatch the video to get your facts straight......

Yes, Governor Slaton was the only person who really investigated this case. He was a hero.

Connly probably took the money. A witness saw Connly disposing of the body by himself, not with Frank. He passed a lie detector test. Alanzo Mann was the 12 year old office boy.

Connly probably killed her for the money. A witness saw Connly disposing of the body by himself, not with Frank. He passed a lie detector test. Alanzo Mann was the 12 year old office boy.

Neither her purse nor the $1.20 in pay was ever found.

The ADL

Yeah you would say that

@@preallz2493 what do you mean by that. Let's hear it. Say what you really mean.

Leo Frank was guilty beyond any doubt.

She was paid $1.20 in cash by Leo Frank in the office. Her purse and the money were never found.

According to his trial testimony, Conley had only about 1 year of formal education (not unusual at the time), but he had learned on his own how to read and write on a very basic level. He admitted to writing the notes.

I don't think he did have you seen the movie the murder of Mary phagan

(((The movie)))

Wow that is incredible history. Thank you for sharing.

Leo Frank was guilty as sin. He got what he deserved. Had nothing to do with being a Jewish yankee.

Interesting ! And Well Said “ Hi Melanie “

Thanks for the information note Melanie.

You make a good point. I tend to think you are right

cool, glad you found us!

@@FacesoftheForgotten I will be spreading the word of your channel! Thank you!

Welcome to our group

ADL was founded to stop Americans whites from serving justice to the little hat people. They believe no little hat can be guilty of crimes against us non little hats..

I’m not speculating when I say his wife knew he was guilty

@@robertpatterson9943his wife refused to be buried next to him

20 young women in the factory said Leo was a pos pervert

Right on Connie!

For the times & circumstance, considering the $, they were up against, the police did a good job with the technology at the time! Then Prosecutor, DA Hugh Dorsey did a tremendous job with the communication technology of the time in figuring Leo Frank out! Leo Max Frank was an evil man who used his family $ & connections to the max to escape from what he did! Frank's wife knew what he was & his mom knew he was twisted but wouldn't acknowledge the kind of man she was enabling! The police protected the black men from Frank's enablers & agents! I give them credit as I do the Knights of Mary Phagan not ensuring that Frank paid for his crime but would never be able to do it again! As a serial molester who was escalating, it would have happened again & that is the ultimate justification for capital punishment!

There was definitely lying going on by Connolly with the lift episode. Poor Mary what a horrible way to die

I think Alonzo Mann was right. I read he was only fourteen years old at the time of her death. I think a part of him was scared to death, in saying anything. He was threatened. For a fourteen year old child, that probably crippled him from saying anything. He figured Jim Connelly killed his friend, and he wasn't afraid of taking a life. Jim would do the same thing to him, so he stayed quiet.

In his trial testimony, Conley admitted to writing the notes.

If you believe Alonzo Mann's story (told 70 years later), he saw Jim Conley carrying Mary's limp, unconscious body from the first floor to the basement, but he was just 14 years old at the time (working as Leo Frank's office boy) and was too scared to say anything after Conley told him that he would kill him if he ever said anything about what he saw that day.

Mann’s story is dodgy at best. He claimed he returned as an office boy on his day off (it was Confederate Memorial day) as though he could come in and work whenever. He claimed he told his mother that Connelly threatened him with his life and his mother told him to keep it a secret. Now it’s truly doubtful a black man killing a white girl now threatening a white boy would get away with that in the South during this time. On top of that, Connelly died in the fifties, leaving decades where Mann could have laid this claim. When Mann came out with these claims in the 80s, he was poor and in bad health in need of paying his medical bills. On top of all that, nothing Mann stated was new to the case as many suspected Frank told Connelly to drag the body away. Just more garbage to muddy up the waters of Leo Frank’s utter guilt. Don’t fall for it

There was a "colored" bathroom in the basement and there were several black men that worked there with Jim Conley. Newt Lee, the night watchman and Alonzo Mann, another janitor, who are named in this story and other written accounts are 2 of them. Jim Conley was a deviant criminal and all the real evidence and testimony of others points to him as the murderer.

I will keep in mind...sooo may stories! ty

Very interesting possibility! Why wasn't Conley/Connelly charged as an accomplice?

@@amysbees6686 he was doing the bidding of a White person . For him to disobey was in itself an offense

Lol
