Leo M. Frank. ) Motion for New Trial.

Before me personally appeared R. L. Gremer, who being duly sworn deposes and says that he makes this affidavit to be used on the motion for new trial in the above case.

Further deposing he says that he is a resident of Albany, Ga., that he is acquainted with Mack Farkas, who works with Mr. Sam Farkas, who operates a livery stable and sale barn in Albany.

Further deposing, he says that between the time of the murder of Mary Phagan, and the trial of Leo M. Frank, the exact date this deponent can not state, deponent was standing in front of Mr. Sam Farkas's place of business on Broad Street in Albany, in the presence of Mack Farkas and others, including a party by the name of A. H. Henslee; said Henslee is the same party whose picture appears on page 3 of the Atlanta Georgian issue of August the 26th, and on page 2 of the issue of the same paper of August 23rd, as a juror in the Frank case.

At said time and place, deponent heard the said Henslee express his conviction that Frank was guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan; his exact language was "there can be no doubt that Frank is guilty. I know he is guilty," referring to the murder of Mary Phagan.

Further deposing he says, he stated to said Henslee "It is queer that a man of Frank's standing could be guilty of such a crime." Henslee said, "Without a doubt he is guilty." Deponent said "What do you mean by without a doubt?" Henslee said positively, "Without a doubt to my mind or to anyone else."
