Here is the extracted text from the image:

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 cheering 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, and neither
did anybody within my knowledge, ever speak to any juror at any
time or place outside of the presence of the court; THAT if at any
time any man ever grabbed any juror by the hand or held any
conversation with any juror, the same was not in my presence; no
man ever grabbed me by the hand at the time referred to by W. P.
Neill in his affidavit, 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 in any shape, manner or form, with any juror,
with any party on the 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 per-
sonally concerned, and so far as I know, 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 anywise, in any way, manner, shape, or form, by
anything from the outside, but the verdict as rendered, so far
as I am concerned, and as to the other jurors, so far as their de-
portment showed, I believe was rendered from an honest opinion, based
on the law and evidence of the case.

W. M. JEFFRIES makes affidavit deposing and saying as follows:
THAT I was a juror on the Frank case; I did not know
personally either A. H. Henslee or M. Johenning, who were also
jurors, trying this case, until after we were sworn in on said
jury; I had occasion to and do know the conduct of these two
men on the jury; at no time did either of them express themselves
