  • A contemporary photograph of Newt Lee accompanied by a detective, from the August 1915 issue of Watson's Magazine. A bloody shirt found in his apartment, two bizarre notes at the scene of the crime and some clever innuendo by Leo Frank - including a doctored time slip - pointed the finger of suspicion at him, and led to his arrest. When Lee finally appeared in court though, it was as a prosecution witness at Frank's trial.
