"While Micheaux’s attendance at the trial and even his presence in Atlanta in 1913 are difficult to verify, Micheaux clearly knew the details of the case and the prosecution’s brief against Frank as they were reported in the city papers. He drew upon those details for both his film and for his 1915 novel The Forged Note: A Romance of the Darker Races."
