been heard and concluded and submitted to the jury, they at
least did not so express themselves or give vent to any other
expression within my hearing or knowledge, indicating any bias
or prejudice against the said Frank; I did not know how A.H.
Henslee stood on the issue until after the first ballot had been
taken; then said Henslee made a talk and stated that he had cast a
doubtful ballot; there was one ballot marked "doubtful"; he ex-
plained to the jury why he cast this doubtful ballot and sub-
mitted some suggestions with reference to the evidence; up to that
time, so far as I know, said Henslee had not intimated or ex-
pressed any opinion whatsoever with reference to any feature
of the case: THAT as to M.J. Chenning: during the entire twenty-
nine days that we were together as six jurors, he did not, so far
as I know, say or in any way intimate how he stood on the issue;
so far as I was able to judge from his conduct and deportment,
said Chenning was an upright, honest, fair, prudent, impartial
and conscientious juror, imbued with only one purpose, viz., the
ascertainment of the truth; what is said above as to the impartial-
ity, fairness and conscientiousness of Chenning is true of
Henslee and likewise of each and every one on the jury: THAT I
did not at any time, while a juror, hear any applause except such
as occurred in open court, and which was heard by the judge, jury
and attorneys in the case; I did not know that there had been any
cheering of anybody connected with the case at any time or that
there had been any cheering in any way growing out of or con-
nected with the Frank case, until after the verdict was rendered,
and I was told about said incidents; the jury left the courtroom
every time before the judge, lawyer and audience were permitted to
leave, and there was never any applause or cheering either inside
of the court or outside of the court, within my knowledge, while the
case was being considered; the jury, in leaving, were always attended
by the deputy sheriffs or bailiffs, one always going before and one
always in the rear; we were usually taken direct from the court-
house to the German Cafe, located midway of the block on Pryor Street
