Here is the extracted text from the image:

had been any cheering of anybody connected with the case at any
time, or that there had been any cheering 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 court
room every time before the Judge, lawyers, and audience were per-
mitted 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 in front and one always in the rear; we were usually taken direc
from the court house to the German Cafe located midway of the block
on Pryor Street, opposite from the court house, 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 im-
mediately closed; after being shut up in this room, we never heard any
sounds that in the slightest resembled applause or cheering; we
considered was the cheering that arose shortly after the verdict
of guilty was read, when there was one big shout and
Pryor Streets, and said cheering was loud and long with the ex-
ception of this cheering, I never heard anything that had the slight-
est 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 Satur-
day, 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 referred to by W.P.Neill
in his affidavit, nor did I see or hear or know anything about
