The frontispiece from the March 1915 issue of Watson's Jeffersonian Magazine is entitled "The Shame of Georgia" and accompanies an article called "A Full Review of the Leo Frank Case." Frank, a Jew, was convicted of killing a thirteen-year-old and hanged by a lynch mob after Georgia governor John M. Slaton commuted his death sentence to life imprisonment. Many in the Jewish community and beyond believed that anti-Semitism played a role in Frank's conviction and subsequent death.
