Here is the extracted text from the image:

outside of the courthouse; I did not hear any applause in the
courtroom that I now recall, except as above stated; I do not re-
call what occasioned any laughter, except that occasioned by the
cross examination of Jim Connelly by Mr.Rosser, counsel for Frank;
I laughed myself, as did the audience and all of the jury, when
Connelly told Mr.Rosser how he spelled certain brands of pencils
and other words; I laughed and the audience laughed when B.Dalton
told Mr.Rosser when and where he was born, stating that he was
there but could not remember; also in conjunction with other
members of the jury and the audience when the said Dalton said that
Mrs.Daisy Hopkins was a peach and pretty as a pink; also the
jury and the audience laughed when Newt Lee stated that he "lit
a rag" instead of "ran", referring to his exit from the basement
where the body of little Mary Phagan was found; on no other oc-
casion did I observe any applause, or if I did - I do not re-
member it now; I do not remember any occasion when there was any
demonstration or applause otherwise than on the part of the audience
and spectators: THAT I have read the affidavit of Sampson Kay with
reference to certain alleged occurrences on Sat day evening, August
23rd., 1913 about 8 or 8:30 o'clock; I remember distinctly the walk
which the jury took at that time on Pryor Street; there was a deputy
sheriff in front of the jury and one in the rear; it is not true that
six or seven men, or any man not connected with the Frank
jury either as a juror or a bailiff walked along by the side of the
jurors and talked to or with them, either at the time and place
referred to by the said Kay or at any other time and place: THAT
I have read the affidavit of one W.P.Neill; I was not the juror re-
ferred to in said affidavit, or the affidavit does not speak the
truth; no man grabbed me by the hand or arm or by the hand or arm,
at the place stated by Neill in his affidavit, or talk to me; I
did not see or hear or know anything of any such thing as de-
tailed in the affidavit happening to any other jurors, as is set
out in the affidavit made by said Neill; I did not know see or know
