Deponent further states that he was in room 301 of the Kiser Building,
on Saturday, August 23; that he saw the jury emerge from the court house
entrance at about one o'clock; that a few minutes after the jury came out,
Mr. Dorsey came out and immediately a great crowd around the court house
door set up a yell and cheer, saying "Hurrah for Dorsey," taking off their
hats and throwing them in the air and otherwise exhibiting their enthusiasm;
that at the time of the yelling, the jury was still in sight of deponent, but
deponent is of the opinion that they were not in easy hearing of the yelling
and must have heard all that transpired.

Deponent further states that while he has been around the court house,
during the progress of the trial, he has heard numerous threats of violence
to the accused in case of an acquittal; that deponent knows that one of the
persons making threats was armed, that he exhibited his weapon at time of
making threat.

Personally appeared B. S. Lipschutz, who on oath says that he was out in
front of the Court House, mingling with the crowd, at about one P. M. on
Saturday, August 23, immediately after court adjourned; that deponent saw
the jury come out and about one or two minutes thereafter, Mr. Dorsey came
out, whereupon there was great cheering and yelling by the crowd; that at
the time the yelling and cheering took place, the jury could not have been
more than one minute's walk away from the court house, and in the opinion
of deponent, they could have heard the cheering and yelling.

Deponent further states that he was also present at the court house
on Friday evening, August 22nd, when Mr. Dorsey left the court house, and
heard the cheering and heard the crowd yelling "Hurrah."
