Here is the extracted text from the image:

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 exception of this cheering,
I never heard anything that had the slightest resemblance to
cheering, and I never heard any applause except as heard by
the Judge and only heard about the cheering after having been dis-
charged 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 place re-
ferred 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 com-
munication at any time or place, or in any shape, manner or form,
with any juror, with any party on the outside; all communications
had by the jurors 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 anywise, in any way, manner, shape or form, by
anything from the outside, but the verdict as rendered, was, so far
as I am personally concerned, and as to the other jurors, so far as
their deportment shows, I believe was rendered from an honest
opinion, based on the law and evidence of the case; THAT I have
read the affidavit of H.C. Loewenhert, sworn to on the 2nd day of
September, 1913, before C.W. Burke; I deny positively and emphatically
that I ever had any such conversation with said H.C. Loewenhert at any
time or place; THAT I have read likewise the affidavits made by
