Here is the extracted text from the image:

in the City of Atlanta, say "I am glad they indicted the God
damn Jew", they ought to take him out and lynch him, and if I
get on that jury I will hang that Jew sure." I emphatically
deny that I used any such expression at any time or place; I am a
member of the Elk's Club; said Club has among its members a large
number of Jewish people, many of whom are my friends. I never
entertained any prejudice or animus against the Jewish people, or
against any one of them, and I did not make use of any such expres-
sion before said Aaron or any one else; I was at the Elk's
Club on Sunday, May 25th, 1913, in the morning; THAT I have read the de-
positions of W.L.Ricker, in which he undertakes to quote me; I do not
know the said Ricker - I may have been introduced to him; I did not
make the statement at any time or place as sworn to by said Ricker;
Ricker said that the conversation that he heard was in the store of
Nunnally and Harris at Monroe, Georgia; I have read also the deposition
of J. J. Nunnally with reference to the conversation about which Ricker
testified; I remember that the Frank case was discussed in the store of
Nunnally and Harris; this discussion occurred on June 2nd, 1913;
it was participated in by a number of people; I discussed it cas-

I was not in the store more than sixty minutes at the outside;
during a part of this time, I was engaged in an effort to sell
Nunnally and Harris some buggies, and the Frank case was not
discussed all of this time; or if it was, certain it is I did
not participate in the discussion; I positively deny that I used
the expression "They are going to break that Jew's neck" as
stated by Ricker in his deposition, and I likewise deny making
any such statements in manner, form or substance, as set out in
the depositions of said Ricker; I did not, in the presence of the said Ricker or Nunnally, or
in the store of said Nunnally and Harris, or anywhere else, at any
time say if the jury turned Frank loose, he could never
get out of Atlanta alive; I did state in the discussion of the
Frank case that it was my opinion that the man guilty of the
murder of Mary Phagan ought to be hung; I had not been reading
