Subject: RE: Lyrics for Mary Phagen or Fagen or Fagin ??
A remarkable event in the history of US antisemitism. The Mary Fagan case is the only time I can recall when an innocent White man in the south was lynched on the evidence of a guilty Black man. Very sad and interesting story. Leo Frank was lynched after it became likly that he would be aquitted on appeal eventualy. \Cheers Larry
