There was also a mountain of documents created by the appeals and an untold number of diaries, letters and reminiscences from contemporaries now stored in various institutions. He was left reading two years worth of Atlanta’s three papers from the time: The Journal, The Constitution, and the Hearst-owned Georgian, all which had voluminous and different takes on the proceedings. Oney said the trial transcripts, which would have stood 6 feet tall, disappeared from Fulton County court archives in the 1960s. “Things can get out of hand more quickly than we’d like to think.”Ī highly orchestrated crew from Marietta, put together by that town’s elites, drove the 120-plus miles to the prison in Milledgeville, stormed into the facility, hand-cuffed the warden, drove Frank back to Cobb County and strung him up in a tree near where the Big Chicken now stands. ![]() “It was a mob egged on by what was characterized as a miscarriage of justice,” Oney said, likening it to the Jan.
