opposite from the courthouse, and it took only a very short time
to go there - I should estimate about three minutes at the outside.
Upon reaching the German Cafe, we were taken directly to a private
dining room in the rear of the building and the door immediately
closed; after being shut up in this room, we never heard any
sounds that in the slightest resembled cheering or applause; the
only cheering that was heard at any time while the case was being
considered was the cheering that arose shortly after the verdict
of guilty was read, when there was cheering both on Hunter and
Pryor Streets; and said cheering was loud and long; with the ex-
ception of this cheering, I never heard anything that had the
slightest resemblance to cheering and I never heard any applause
except that heard by the Judge and only heard about the cheer-
ing after having been discharged from the case; THAT neither on
Saturday, August 23, 1913, nor on any other day or date, did any
man or men other than the bailiffs in charge of the jury, ever
walk with or by the side of the jury, neither did anybody, within
my knowledge, ever speak to any juror at any time or place out-
side of the presence of the court; THAT if at any time any man
ever grabbed any juror by the hand, or had any conversation with
any juror, the same was not in my presence, no man ever grabbed
me by the hand at the place referred to by W.P.Neill in his affi-
davit, nor did I see or hear or know anything about any man grabbing
any member of the jury by the hand or saying anything to any juror, or
attempting to say anything to any juror, and within my knowledge,
there was no communication at any time or place or in any shape,
manner or form, with any juror, with any party outside; all
communications had by the jury with outsiders, so far as I know,
were through the bailiffs, and said communications were authorized
by the court and known to counsel on both sides of the case; THAT
so far as I am personally concerned, and so far as I know as to
each and every juror on the case, they were influenced solely and
alone by the evidence and the charge as given by the court, and
were not influenced in any way, manner, shape, or
form, by anything from the outside, but the verdict as rendered
