"It was just like the 24-hour news universe we now live in," he says Regionally, anti-Semitic passions were stirred by The Jeffersonian, a weekly populist paper " Atlanta, 1913: Leo Frank, a 29-year-old Cornell-educated Jew from Brooklyn, was plant supervisor of the National Pencil Co His book provides this vintage account of media immersion: A woman who, when interviewed by a detective, seemed helpless to distinguish between what she had witnessed and what she learned from the papers " And its interview with the dead girl's grandfather wove in atmospherics like the melancholy sound of "gently falling rain," undeterred that it hadn't been raining (as the unrepentant writer later explained, "it might well have been") Reporting Frank's arrest, the Georgian's front-page banner headline flatly declared "POLICE HAVE THE STRANGLER Oney tracked these rivals' competing efforts, which, at times, fed the public's appetite with extra editions issued on an hourly basis J Readers ate it up (Amazingly, The Atlanta Constitution broke this story in a special edition that was on the streets three hours later "I think people were experiencing it viscerally the same way as people experience events through TV coverage now," says Oney But however slight his doubts, he is clear about something else: coverage of Frank inflamed more than enlightened "With the Leo Frank case, it was constant coverage and constant stimulation The case drew national attention from the press, including The New York Times and Collier's Weekly magazine Less than three months later, Frank was abducted from the penitentiary where he was serving a life sentence and hanged from an oak tree in Atlanta's neighboring town of Marietta by a lynch mob composed of two dozen prominent citizens " He pored over 90-year-old newspapers, edition after edition ) Within weeks, Frank, claiming innocence, was arrested and charged with her murder Steve Oney revisited a past oddly akin to the current media world while writing his new book, "And the Dead Shall Rise: The Murder of Mary Phagan and the Lynching of Leo Frank A widely published magazine writer and former Atlantan who makes his home in Los Angeles, Oney, 49, has gathered overwhelming evidence of Frank's innocence after a 17-year investigation Simpson case is new," says Oney Thousands came to see What he found: all Leo, all the time But the driving forces were the three Atlanta dailies: the Journal, the Constitution and the Georgian The media were just different "She is well-read to the extent that she is crazy," the detective concluded Not when it centered on a gory crime further jazzed with sex and prejudice And it invited freewheeling excess, especially with The Atlanta Georgian, which, as a Hearst newspaper, gloried in sensationalism Unsurprisingly, the Frank story took on a life of its own in the papers, which peddled truth, titillation, opinion and spectacle, doing their part to whip the public into "a degree of frenzy almost inconceivable" (as The Atlanta Journal pronounced the local state of mind) Lindbergh's infant son, the Frank case would demonstrate that international fame wasn't needed for a story to seize the public's attention "We think we live in a new era of constant media bombardment," says Oney, "but past events were covered in the same way "We delude ourselves when we think that coverage of the Scott Peterson case or the O But his life, and Atlanta's, took a terrible turn on a Sunday morning in April when the bludgeoned, sexually molested body of Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old factory girl, was discovered in the building's filthy basement As grippingly recounted in "And the Dead Shall Rise," events escalated to a gruesome end: After two years of appeals following Frank's conviction in a circuslike courtroom, his execution was commuted by the governor, reigniting civic uproar Two decades before Bruno Hauptmann was tried for the kidnapping and killing of Charles A Sensational Murder Trial Didn't Need TV Dec 10, 4:46 PM EST The trial of the century! An audience ravenous for each fresh dispatch! Coverage around the clock, even when there's nothing new to report! For information junkies and journalists alike, TV news doesn't get any better than this! Unless, of course, the trial is taking place nearly a century ago, and the news cycle is in play not on CNN and Court TV, but in newspapers' rapid-fire extras " Miller said he plans to appeal $6 million in damages that Judge Zel Canter barred the jury from considering That amount represent the loss of TV revenues the concerts would have created and alleged debts Avram says he paid for the singer Avram's attorney, Louis "Skip" Miller, said he was pleased that the jury found Jackson was at fault 3 Million Mar 14, 8:32 AM EST A jury decided Thursday that Michael Jackson owes a concert promoter $5 He would have performed in Sydney, Australia, and then flown across the international dateline to Honolulu for another concert, technically within the same calendar day The jury deliberated for nearly two weeks At one point, the 44-year-old Jackson hobbled into court on crutches with his left foot wrapped in bandages because of swelling from what he described as a spider bite He also giggled during questioning and made comical faces at people in the courtroom Jackson's attorneys said it was Avram who canceled the shows over concerns they would not be profitable 3 million for backing out of two concerts planned to celebrate the millennium on New Year's Eve 1999 "The jury believed Avram, they did not believe Michael Jackson While much of the testimony drew little media attention, appearances from Jackson became worldwide news, mostly because of his ghostly appearance and witness-stand antics The verdict came in a $21 million breach-of-contract lawsuit filed against the singer by German concert organizer Marcel Avram That's what the whole thing comes down to," he said Jackson attorney Steve Cochran did not immediately return a call 31, 1999 Avram said Jackson had agreed to perform two concerts on Dec Jury: Michael Jackson Owes $5 |
