According to Wikipedia:
Howell was born on September 21, 1863 in Atlanta, Georgia. During the American Civil War his mother was in South Carolina, while his father, Captain Evan Howell, served in the infantry and commanded a Confederate artillery battery.
Clark Howell attended the University of Georgia (UGA) in Athens where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Literary Society as well as an early member of the Gamma chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order, and graduated with an A.B. degree in 1883.[1] Directly after he moved to New York City and began working as a reporter for the New York Times then worked as the night telegraph editor of the Philadelphia Press.
In 1880 he returned to Atlanta and worked as a reporter at the Atlanta Constitution where his father was editor-in-chief and a principal stock holder. After managing editor Henry W. Grady died in 1889, the younger Howell took over that position. He eventually succeeded his father as editor-in-chief in 1897 upon the elder Howell’s retirement. That year he was elected to the Fulton County Board of Commissioners and served for one year. In 1901, Clark Howell purchased controlling shares in the Constitution to become its new owner.[2]
Starting in 1886, Howell was elected to three terms in the Georgia House of Representatives and served as speaker for one term. In 1900, he was elected one of the original directors of the Associated Press, a position he maintained the rest of his life. Also in 1900 he was elected to the Georgia Senate where he served consecutive two-years terms and was the President of that body during the latter term.[1] Following that he was defeated in the contentious 1906 Democratic Georgia gubernatorial race won by Hoke Smith, owner of the rival Atlanta Journal newspaper.
Even though Howell was a life-long Democrat, President Warren G. Harding placed him on a special mining commission in 1922 and ten years later President Hoover appointed him to a national transportation commission.
The Constitution won the 1931 Pulitzer Prize for Howell’s series exposing the Atlanta graft ring which led to six indictments and the downfall of Mayor I. N. Ragsdale’s political career. In 1934, President Roosevelt named him to chair the Federal Aviation Commission in the wake of the Air Mail scandal and appointed him chairman of a commission to study aviation in foreign countries. The French government made him a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1935.
He served as Georgia’s state Democratic committeeman from 1896 to 1924 and again starting in June 1936 where he succeeded Governor Eugene Talmadge.[3]
Clark Howell founded WGST (Georgia School of Technology) as a gift to the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1922. Operating as a commercial station with educational opportunities for students, the radio station was officially owned by the Board of Regents. After several lawsuits, the station was sold to a private corporation in 1974. The school reacquired a radio station, now known as WREK.[4] A freshman residence hall at Georgia Tech, Howell Hall, as well as an academic building at his alma mater, Clark Howell Hall, are named in his honor.
When Howell died he was the president and editor of the Atlanta Constitution and a director of the Associated Press.

As Allen Koenigsberg once said (2013), “The [Leo Frank] defense has long held that the sworn statement of Minola McKnight was coerced, but Who was Leo Frank saving his kisses for?” (Leo Frank Case, Koenigsberg, 2013). Taking Koenigberg’s (2013) line of questioning to the deeper level as 21st century forensic time travelers, we might also ask, why did Leo Frank so thoughtfully buy a 1 Lbs. box of chocolates for $1 from Jacob’s Pharmacy, to give to his wife Lucille Selig on the evening of the murder? Was Leo Frank trying to assuage his guilt? or was Leo Frank making up for the argument he had with Lucille on the morning of the murder? (See, the advertisement next to Lucia Di Lammermore, Metropolitan Opera, April 26, 1913). Finally, We are left with wondering how Leo Frank could claim his wife was at home finishing her lunch time dinner at 1:20pm to 1:30 pm, getting ready to leave for the Metropolitan Opera, when we can now reasonably determine she had already left (page, 17, 18, Metropolitan Opera, April 26, 1913), because she would have been at the Grand Opera House at least 15 minutes before the performance started at 2:00 p.m.
If you have ever watched the internationally acclaimed Leo Frank musical known as ‘Parade’, that distorts the Frank-Phagan Case through the myopic eyes of Jewish cultural terrorists, then perhaps you’d like a glimmer of what really happened:
On Confederate Memorial Day, Saturday, April 26, 1913, in Atlanta, Georgia, it was inside the palatial auditorium, where the fourth annual season of Grand Opera performed by the visiting NYC Metropolitan Opera Company was coming to close. It was at the last Matinée of Lucia Di Lammermore, where Frieda Hempel’s soulful voice was climbing hauntingly skyward and while tears were showering down the eyes of Lucille Selig Frank — another script was playing out at a dingy shuttered factory, located at 37-41 South Forsyth Street in the heart of downtown Atlanta, it was an event that would forever become an indelible part of U.S. legal history and popular culture – The Leo Frank Jewish Hate Soap Opera (1913 to 2013).

Thrice Times Frank Made Ineluctable Admissions, Twice Before and One During his Trial
(Out of 4 known Leo Frank murder admissions, only 3, made it into the official record, because of the timing.)
Concerning the three Leo Frank murder incriminating admissions contained in the official record, be sure to start with learning about Leo’s 3rd and most dramatic, known as Leo Frank’s August 18, 1913, murder trial confession, before learning about his 4th published by the Atlanta Constitution on March 9, 1914.
Jim Conley and Lucille Selig Frank
The first two private Leo Frank murder confessions were made to, one, his accomplice-after-the-fact or accessory-after-the-fact Jim Conley, the incident at the NPCo is known as Leo Frank murder confession #1, and second, Leo Frank’s 68 East Georgia Avenue, Selig-Residence, second floor private bedroom chamber confession, he made to his wife Lucille Selig Frank, known as Leo Frank murder confession #2. (see BOE, Minola McKnight Affidavit, State’s Exhibit J, 1913, for the source of Leo Frank murder confession #2).
Thomas Edward Watson (more commonly known as Tom Watson) does a superb job articulating Leo Frank’s August 18, 1913, murder trial admission-confession in his ‘Jeffersonian Newspaper’ (1914 to 1917) and ‘Watson’s Magazine’ (1915):

Yellow Journalism: Frank Luther Mott (1941) defines yellow journalism in terms of five characteristics:
1. scare headlines in huge print, often of minor news
2. lavish use of pictures, or imaginary drawings
3. use of faked interviews, misleading headlines, pseudo-science, and a parade of false learning from so-called experts
4. emphasis on full-color Sunday supplements, usually with comic strips (which is now normal in the U.S.)
5. dramatic sympathy with the “underdog” against the system.

After reading these three local Atlanta Georgia newspapers, it’s time for you to decide the truth, first as the Judge and Jury, and secondly, as the Georgia Supreme Court Justices, to determine whether or not, the verdict rendered against Leo Frank was correct and should stand:
First:
1. You are now the Judge and Jury, read the official Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence from beginning to end, sifting it and pass your verdict. Would you leave the verdict of the jury and judge undisturbed?
Second:
2. You are now the Georgia Supreme Court, read the Leo Frank Supreme Court Records in either individual images or PDF, from beginning to end, sifting it and pass your verdict. Would you leave the verdict of the jury and judge undisturbed?
