Here is the extracted text from the image:

conscientiousness of Johenning is true of Henslee and likewise
of each and every man on the jury; I did not at any time, while
a juror, hear any applause except such as occurred in open court,
and which was heard by the Judge, jury and attorneys in the case;
I did not know that there had been any cheering of anybody
connected with the case at any time or that there had been any
cheering in any way growing out of or connected with the Frank
case, until after the verdict was rendered, and I was told about
said incidents; The jury left the courtroom every time before
the judge, lawyers and audience were permitted 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 sheriff or bailiff, one always going in
front and one always in the rear; we were usually taken direct
from the courthouse to the German Cafe, located midws. of the
block on Pryor Street, opposite from the courthouse, 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 immediately closed; After being shut up in
this room, we never heard any sounds that in the slightest resembled
applause or cheering; The only cheering that I heard from the time
I was sworn to the time I was discharged was the cheering that
arose outside of the courthouse after the verdict had been read
and while the jury was being polled, with the exception of this
cheering, I never heard anything that had the slightest 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; Neither on Saturday, August 25,1913,
nor on any other day or date, did any man 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;
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
