New Audio Book: The American Mercury on Leo Frank – Frank’s Trial, Week One
THIS WEEK we continue the new audio book version of the American Mercury’s centenary series on the 1913 trial and conviction of Jewish sex killer Leo Frank, recorded by Vanessa Neubauer.
Leo Max Frank was a Jewish sweatshop operator in Atlanta, Georgia, convicted of murdering his 13-year-old employee after she rejected his sexual advances.

This week’s recording is the second of the series, Week One of the trial itself, and you may download or play the program using the link or player below, and you may also follow along and read the text version too.
This installment covers Week One of Frank’s trial, including the vitally important testimony of Newt Lee, the Black night watchman who discovered the body — and who was the victim of an attempt to frame him for the murder. We’ll hear about the fake bloody shirt planted at Lee’s residence, and the altered time card that mysteriously replaced Lee’s real one, which the police left in Frank’s custody and was never seen again.
Also covered are the testimony of detectives Scott, Starnes, Rogers, and Black, essential for understanding the evidence in this case, as well as the evidence of John Gantt, who was a friend of the murdered girl, Mary Phagan. Then we hear some of the most convincing and damning testimony of all — that of factory worker Monteen Stover, who arrived to pick up her pay and found Leo Frank’s office empty at the exact time that the murder was most likely committed. There’s much more to hear, so let’s press the play button and go back in time and experience for ourselves the opening day of the murder trial of Leo Frank.
