Therefore, leo frank must have done it: frank had an attitude of snobbishness and therefore the police arrested him and charged him with the murder despite no evidence. Mob surrounded the court house calling for lynching and the jury decided frank was guilty: holmes dissent: the issue was one of federalism, that the state tries murders, not the federal government which he disagreed with.
