A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on August 17, 2007 and August 17, 2008.

Leo M. Frank, Plaintiff in Error, vs. State of Georgia, Defendant in Error. In Error from Fulton Superior Court at the July Term 1913. Brief of Evidence 1913.

I have read the entire official trial testimony record provided in 'References' and there is not a single word, sentence or phrase that suggests the Lindemann quote in the intro is true. This inserted quote is playing divisive politics and is unfounded. Please, if the Leo Frank entry in Wikipedia is going to be turned into a Gentile vs. Jews ethnic race war, at least provide some balance from the prosecution side of the case. The entire Leo Frank entry wreaks of taking Frank's side. The ethnicity of Frank was never brought up by the prosecution, though Reuben Arnold claimed if Leo Frank were not a Jew he would never have been on trial which is not true.

His trial became the focus of powerful class and political interests. Raised in New York, he was cast as a representative of Yankee capitalism, a rich northern Jew lording it over vulnerable working women, as the historian Albert Lindemann put it.

Closing Arguments of Counsel, Luther Rosser, Frank Hooper, Reuben Arnold and Hugh Dorsey. American State Trials V. X 1918. HernandoMaya (talk) 19:32, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have yet another sock puppet -- I've lost track of the number that have been blocked who use the exact same argument and source. In any event, Lindemann is a reliable secondary source and his analysis belongs in the article. The analysis of primary sources by individual wikipedia editors does not belong in the article.

Fact Check

Frank hired two Pinkerton detectives to help him prove his innocence.
