Here is the extracted text from the image:

at this time, anything more than the headlines of the newspapers
and I had not formed any opinion based on newspaper reports or
casual rumor as to whether or not Frank was the man guilty of the
crime, and I did not express myself in the language attributed
to me by the said Ricker or any other language; nor did I know
that the public sentiment was so strong against Frank that he would
not be able, if acquitted, to get out of the City of Atlanta alive, and
I positively and emphatically deny that I ever made use of any such
expression; I was constantly on the road traveling from April 26th,
1913, until July 24th, 1913, during every week, and did not
spend a sufficient length of time in Atlanta to know what the
public sentiment there was with reference to the guilt or innocence
of the trial Leo M. Frank; THAT I have read the depositions of
H. Sh. Grey, S. W. Johnson, and John M. Holmes; I had a conversation
on Sept. 2nd, 1913, with the said H. Sh. Grey, S. W. Johnson, and
John M. Holmes; this was after the verdict in the Frank case had
been rendered on August 25th, 1913; I never saw Grey,
Johnson or Holmes together or separately after I was served with a
subpoena as a juror which was Friday July 25th, 1913, until after
I was discharged from the jury on the Frank case; on
July 24th, 1913, I was at Athens, Ga., on July 25th, 1913, I was at
Statham, Winder and Atlanta, Ga.; I remained in Atlanta on the 26th.
and 27th, and went on the jury on July 28th; I never saw
either of these men, either in Sparta or elsewhere, after I knew
I was a juror on the Frank case, until Sept. 2nd, 1913, at which
time, I did discuss with each and all of them the Frank case,
fully and freely in Walker and Holmes Insurance office; I then
stated that in my opinion there was not a shadow of a doubt
but that Frank was guilty; I did not hear several parties, as
stated by S. M. Johnson in his depositions, say that they thought
Frank was not guilty; but, on the contrary, every man who dis-
cussed the case in my presence in the office aforesaid, expressed
the opinion that the said Leo M. Frank was guilty, and I was con-
gratulated by everyone who came into that office among them
