EXHIBIT R.

State of Georgia, ( ) Superior Court of Fulton County
Vs. ( ) Charged with Murder.
Leo Frank. ( )

Georgia Fulton county.

Personally appeared before the undersigned officer, W. B.
Cate, who being duly sworn deposes and says: That on Sept.,
let, 1913, in the afternoon, I was standing at the corner of
Alabama Street and S. Pryor Street, and had intended to go down
S. Pryor Street to the Court House where the Frank trial was
being conducted but was unable to get any closer to the
Court House on account of the crowd that had gathered in the
street, I was in about one block of the Court House, while I
was standing at this place I heard a great deal of cheering and
shouting, the street being full of men most of whom were making
noise and cheering. I saw some one come out of the court house,
who I understood was Hugh Dorsey the Solicitor General, and he
was picked up by some of the crowd and carried across the
street on the shoulders of the men around him. I could not see
the man that was carried on the shoulders of the men very
well but was told that it was Dorsey. There was at this time
fully three thousand men gathered around the Court House,
filling the streets on all sides of the court house. I only
know Col. Dorsey by sight.

W. B. Cate.

Sworn to and subscribed to before me,
this Sept., 16, 1913.
