Here is the extracted text from the image:

--23--

when there was cheering both on Hunter and Pryor Streets, and
wild cheering was loud and long; with the exception of this
cheering, I never heard anything that had the faintest re-
semblance to cheering, and I have never heard any applause
except that heard by the Judge and only heard about THIRTY
other cheering after having been discharged from the case.
THAT the cheering which occurred just after the reading of
the verdict in said case occurred during the time the jury
were being polled by the Court: THAT at the time the cheering
was heard no objection whatsoever was made by anyone repre-
senting Leo M. Frank, or by the said Leo M. Frank himself, nor
was any motion made at the time by any of the attorneys of the
said Frank or by the said Frank himself, to the best of my
knowledge, but the polling of the jury, which was going on
at the time the cheering began and during the cheering and after
the cessation of the cheering, was continued: THAT this cheering
did not in any wise influence or affect the verdict which had al-
ready been made, nor did it have any influence whatsoever: THAT
deponent remained absolutely unaffected and uninfluenced by the
cheering or the surroundings in answering the poll, de-
ponent truthfully answered after he had heard the cheering that
it was his verdict and in so answering sustaining the verdict,
he discharged his duty and now subscribes to the correctness
of the verdict as rendered: 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, except Hello from a distance: THAT if at any time
any man ever grabbed any juror by the hand or held conversation
with any juror, the same was not in my presence; to my recollect-
ion, no man ever grabbed me by the hand at the place referred to
by W. E. Hull in his affidavit, even though I am not familiar with
same, nor did I see or hear or know anything about any man grab-
bing any member of the jury by the hand, or saying anything to any
