J.T. OZBURN 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.Joehenning, 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
in a way to indicate that they were in the least bit prejudiced
or biased, but each of these men, as did each and every other
member of the jury, deported themselves as honest, upright,
prudent and impartial jurors; if either the said A.H.Henslee or
the said M.Joehenning believed that Frank was guilty until after
the entire case had 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, indi-
cating 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 cast a doubtful ballot; there was one ballot marked
"doubtful"; he explained to the jury why he cast this doubtful
ballot and submitted some suggestions with reference to the
evidence; up to that time, so far as I know, said Henslee had
not intimated or expressed any opinion whatsoever with refer-
ence to any feature of the case; THAT as to M.Joehenning; during
the entire twenty-nine days we were together as 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 de-
portment, said Joehenning 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 impartiality, fairness and conscientiousness of Joehenning,
is true of Henslee and likewise of each and every man on the jury.
THAT I did not at any time, while a juror, hear any applause ex-
cept 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
