Leo Frank Case
After many trials, they considered Leo Frank as maybe the killer. Jim Conley, was a witness, and said he helped Leo Frank carry Mary to where she was found dead, that night.
After a while in a jail cell, the governor, John Slaton, sentenced him to life in prison, but was hung. Many people find this tragedy to not be fair, because tough their was no true evidence against Leo Frank, he was still the easiest to accuse, because he was one of the few at work on Saturday, and he was the last to see her.
Though they never actually determined the murderer of Mary Phagan, Leo Frank was the one who was accused of killing her.

Delta Airlines
As of 1927, Delta has got a contract to carry airmail between Peru and Ecuador. Delta Airlines was originally in Monroe, Louisiana, and serving the needs of people there. Delta Airlines was started by B. R. Coad and C. E. Woolman.
Since June 17, 1929, Delta has three six-seat monoplanes. In 1930, Delta Corporation, which it was called at the time, expanded to Atlanta. They also went out to Fort Worth, Texas, and have an airport.

The Leo Frank Case is totally unfair! He has been hung for something, and being accused of something, that he did not do. There was no evidence that Leo Frank had anything to do with the death and murder of Mary Phagan. He should not be accused of something that has no proof of him doing.
Many people are going around and talking about him, because it's what they have heard and been told. However, I am here to say that Leo Frank is totally innocent, and had nothing to do with Mary Phagan's death! Whoever believes that Leo Frank was guilty of killing Mary Phagan is mistaken, because no evidence has been shown to prove him guilty.
