Leo Frank Trial - Hugh Dorsey Closing Arguments Part 3
- 8 months ago
A key detail in the audiobook is that Frank's mother said that anyone who knew his writing should be able to identify it, and that the man put up to prove Frank's writing was so afraid of injury that he wouldn't identify the writing. He also showed nervousness when he went to run the elevator, nail up the door, talk to the police, and ride to the station. He also showed frivolity when he was waiting for Old Jim to come back to burn the body, such as laughing and joking and trying to read a story that resulted in annoyance to the people in the card game. The text ends with a message from Tonte, the German for aunt, wishing Frank and Tonte a safe journey home. The most important details in this text are that Frank wrote a letter to his uncle on Saturday the 26th, which shows that he anticipated that the old gentleman who runs the cigar business had wealthy people in Brooklyn.
He also wrote a sentence that bears the earmarks of the guilty conscience tremulous as he wrote it. This sentence was written when he knew that the body of little Mary Phagan, who died for virtue's sake, lay in the dark recesses of that basement. This shows that the dastardly deed was done in an incredibly short time, and that the phrase penned by the man to his uncle on Saturday afternoon didn't come from a conscience that was its own accuser. The most important details in this text are that Leo M. Frank is an eminent authority who believes that unusual, unnecessary, unexpected and extravagant expressions are always earmarks of fraud, and that the old man cared nothing for the veterans who braved the chilly weather to do honor to their fallen comrades. This is significant because today was Yontif holiday and the thin, gray lines of veterans braved the rather chilly weather to do honor to their fallen comrades.
Leo M. Frank is a statistician and the millionaire, or nearly so, who cared so little about the thin, gray line of veterans but cared all for how much money had been gotten in by the pencil factory. There was something startling in the factory within the space of 30 minutes, and the letter was written in the morning. Do you believe it? The most important details in this text are that a rich uncle, Leo M. Frank, was living in Brooklyn and had at least $20,000 in cold cash out on interest. His brother in law was the owner of a store employing two or three people, and if the uncle wasn't in Brooklyn, he was so near there that even Frank himself thought he was there. On April 28, Frank wired Adolf Montague in care of the Imperial Hotel, telling him that a factory girl was found dead Sunday morning in a cellar of the pencil factory, where he placed her and expected her to be found.
The incidents leading up to the murder of a factory girl discovered dead in a pencil factory cellar on April 28th are the most crucial details in this text.
