Seller's Description:
Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Columbia University Press, New York. 1968. 248 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. On April 27, 1913 the body of 13-yr. Old Mary Phagan was found in the basement of the Atlanta factory where she worked. Leo Frank, a northern Jewish industrialist who owned the factory, and the last person who admitted seeing her alive, quickly became the prime suspect and accused murderer. After a trial highlighted by sensational newspaper coverage, popular hysteria, and legal demagoguery, Frank was sentenced to death. As the story unfolds, it becomes quite obvious that forces too powerful to be contained continually thwarted the course of justice. Not only was Frank victimised by a strident press and a vulturous public, but his plight was subsequently aggravated by well-meaning but over-zealous do-gooders, ambitious politicians, and the strictures of narrow legalisms. One of the most infamous outbursts of anti-Semitic feeling in the US in the years 1913, 1914 and 1915.; 8vo 8"-9" tall; 248 pages.
