12-Year-Old Girl Vera Epps Wails for Slain Mary Phagan, Atlanta Georgian, Mon, Apr 28, 1913, Atlanta, GA captures the anguished cries of 12-year-old Vera Epps, a playmate of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, murdered on April 26, 1913, at the National Pencil Company. Living at 246 Fox Street, adjacent to Phagan’s, Vera’s tearful fury emerged in the Atlanta Georgian as she stated, “I’d help lynch the man that killed poor Mary,” wishing to “hold the rope” in vengeance. The horrific sight of Phagan’s bruised, swollen face, barely recognizable, left her in hysterics, her childish mind reeling from the violence. She lauded Phagan’s goodness, their daily games, and her avoidance of men, a detail that intrigued investigators. Vera’s racial note, “It’s a heap worse for a white man,” reflected 1913 Atlanta’s biases. Recalling their Thursday play with Lillian Waignel, carving “M. P.,” her wails underscored their bond. Her testimony, as the Leo Frank case unfolded, voiced a community’s outrage.
This video introduces the 1913 Leo Frank case, a landmark legal saga in Atlanta, Georgia. On April 26, 1913, 13-year-old Mary Phagan, a National Pencil Company worker, was raped and murdered, her body discovered in the factory basement the next day. Leo Frank, the Jewish superintendent, was convicted based on forensic evidence—blood and hair in the factory—and Jim Conley’s testimony, alleging Frank’s involvement. The trial, detailed in the Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence, ended with Frank’s conviction on August 25, 1913, despite defense claims of antisemitism, led by Luther Rosser and Reuben Arnold. The case led to the founding of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in 1913 to fight antisemitism, but Frank’s 1915 commutation by Governor John Slaton sparked outrage, resulting in his lynching by the Knights of Mary Phagan in Marietta on August 17, 1915. The video highlights the racial context of the Jim Crow South, where Conley, a Black man, was believed over Frank, a white man, due to compelling evidence. It also notes the 1986 pardon, which didn’t exonerate Frank, and 2025 efforts by the Georgia Innocence Project for exoneration, opposed by Phagan’s family. X debates as of May 20, 2025, show ongoing division, with some citing Alonzo Mann’s 1982 affidavit implicating Conley, while others support the trial’s outcome. The video frames the case as a lens for examining justice, bias, and historical narratives.
Episode 68 of the Fight Back podcast, hosted by Jake Shields and released on April 26, 2025, dives deep into the 1913 murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, a case that remains one of the most controversial in American legal history. Shields begins by recounting the tragic events of April 26, 1913, when Phagan, a worker at the National Pencil Company in Atlanta, visited the factory to collect her wages and was later found raped and strangled in the basement by watchman Newt Lee. The podcast details the swift investigation that zeroed in on Leo Frank, the factory’s Jewish superintendent, who admitted to seeing Phagan that day but denied any wrongdoing. Shields examines the prosecution’s case, led by Hugh Dorsey and Frank Hooper, which presented forensic evidence—blood and hair in the factory’s machine room—and relied heavily on the testimony of Jim Conley, a janitor with a criminal past who claimed Frank confessed to the murder and instructed him to dispose of Phagan’s body. The episode explores the defense’s counterarguments, led by attorneys Luther Rosser and Reuben Arnold, who portrayed Conley as the real killer, a theory later bolstered by Alonzo Mann’s 1982 affidavit, where Mann, a former office boy, claimed he saw Conley with Phagan’s body but remained silent out of fear. Shields delves into the trial’s social context, highlighting the antisemitism allegations that surrounded Frank’s prosecution, which the defense argued biased the jury. The podcast notes the trial’s conclusion on August 25, 1913, with Frank’s conviction and death sentence, a verdict that sparked national outrage and led to the founding of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to address antisemitism. Shields critiques the ADL’s ongoing efforts to posthumously exonerate Frank, pointing to the Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence, which documented extensive forensic and witness testimony upheld through appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court. The episode also covers the aftermath: Governor John Slaton’s 1915 commutation of Frank’s sentence, which incited public fury, and the subsequent lynching of Frank by a mob in Marietta on August 17, 1915, an act carried out by a group calling themselves the Knights of Mary Phagan. Shields addresses the racial dynamics of the case, noting the unusual circumstance in the Jim Crow South where a Black man’s testimony (Conley’s) was prioritized over a white man’s (Frank’s), reflecting the complex interplay of race and prejudice. The podcast reflects on the 1986 pardon by the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles, which acknowledged procedural errors but stopped short of exonerating Frank, and recent developments as of May 20, 2025, including advocacy by groups like the Georgia Innocence Project for a full exoneration, which remains contentious. Shields incorporates contemporary perspectives from X, where users debate Frank’s guilt, with some citing Mann’s affidavit as evidence of innocence, while others, including Phagan’s family, maintain the trial’s verdict was just. The episode concludes by emphasizing the case’s lasting impact on discussions of justice, antisemitism, and racial bias, urging listeners to grapple with the complexities of historical truth in a polarized modern context.

It is not a bailout, but a nearly condition-free loan. This is the message sent by the Spanish government after euro zone finance ministers agreed on Saturday to lend Madrid up to 100 billion euros for recapitalising its banks.
Following weeks of denying the need for financial assistance, Spanish PM Mariano Rajoy gave in to international pressure. He requested a rescue package that he portrayed as a triumph, but which caused outrage among Spanish citizens.
The Spanish authorities insisted that European aid does not come with additional austerity measures for citizens. Only the banking system will have to accept certain conditions in exchange for the money. But experts believe that a bailout will make it more difficult for Rajoy's government to meet its deficit targets, potentially leading to more cuts.

After calling a snap election for May, the Greek Parliament on Monday approved a 30 million euros budget to finance the campaigns of its political parties. The move has caused outrage inside and outside the country. Greece recently underwent severe cuts in public spending after it received a second bailout fund of 130 billion euros.
Liberal MEP Guy Verhofstadt questioned if the so-called Troika had approved the move. The Troika consists of EU officials who monitor how Athens spends its public money under bail-out conditions. In an open letter to Jose Manuel Barroso, Verhofstadt said that "in times when most Greeks are facing severe cutbacks, the same should be applied to politicians".
But the European Commission on Thursday said that it is not in their hands to control how member states spend their public money on national electoral campaigns.
It remains unclear wether the EU has the power to stop the payment. Greece will hold a snap election on the 6th of May to replace the technocrat government ...

Thankyou to PressTV ! The US, the UK and Israel are behind the death sentence handed to four anti-government protesters in Bahrain. A Bahraini military court has sentenced four protestors to death over the killing of two policemen during the country's recent anti-government protests.
In an interview with press TV, Chairman of the Committee against Torture in Bahrain Rodney Shakespeare described the court as "a kangaroo trial killing," saying the four were sentenced to death only for displaying "a little bit of democracy" in Bahrain's recent uprising.
The US and its allies are "behind these outrageous acts of what is going to be slaughter of four incent men," he said.
Shakespeare further expressed his outrage over the Bahraini government's "razing of mosques, the burning of Qur'ans, and now the killing of people."
The US is implementing the Zionist policy which is paving way for "fascism" into this world, he said.
"The USA and Israel has always backed totalitarian corrupt regimes."
Anti-government protesters have been holding peaceful demonstrations across Bahrain since mid-February, calling for an end to the Al Khalifa dynasty's 40-year rule.
On March 13, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates deployed police and military forces in the kingdom upon Manama's request to quell the nationwide protests.
According to local sources, scores of people have been killed and hundreds arrested so far during the government clampdown on the peaceful demonstrations.
