Here is the extracted text from the image:

heard Plennie Minor repeat to him that he, Plennie Minor, saw him the man, speak to the juror.

Deponent further says that on two occasions, while he was sitting in the court room at the trial, at on time while he was about six to ten feet from the jury, this deponent heard shouts and cheering on the outside of the house from the crowds collected outside. One of said times were during Dorsey's speech.

While this deponent does not say whether or not the jury heard this cheering, he does say that he, the deponent, heard it, plainly and distinctly and was within a few feet of the jury at the time he heard it.

Further deposing he says that on an occasion he heard cheering in the Court room; the Judge said that unless the cheering stopped he would have to clear the Court room; and to this Deputy Sheriff Minor replied that that might be the only way he could stop the cheering in the Court room.
