About this book
1913 August 24 Atlanta Constitution 58 Pages Georgia
Author: Atlanta Constitution
Year: 1913
Original Author: Britt Craig. Besides costing Fulton county a small-sized fortune, the trial of Leo Frank has broken many records which at one time seemed likely to stand for all time. It has been Georgia's longest trial. It has sent to court record a half-million more words than any other. It has been the state's most expensive. It brought to court more witnesses than any two criminal trials. It fostered more widespread Interest. It brought more sentiment into play. And that's not all! Worked Papers Hard. It worked the newspapers harder than they worked that eventful night when Daisy Grace held herself from the Jail of Luton and journeyed to Philadelphia. If all the white paper that has been devoted to the Frank trial were stretched in a string. It would reach all the way from Rabun gap to Tybee Light. If anyone were to tell you that the state would expend 10,000 perfectly good dollars in this expensive cost of living era just to hang a man, you'd either think the state was very vindictive or that your friend was a liar. But that will be just about what the state will have to pay when the verdict is in and the jury has gone home. Longest of All. There are only two criminal trials
