showing a picture of the jury in the above stated case,
and showing a likeness of Juror A. H. Henslee. I know A. H.
Henslee by sight. I have heard A. H. Henslee discussing the question
of whether or not Leo M. Frank was guilty of the murder of Mary
Phagan, between the death of said Mary Phagan and the commencement
of the trial of Leo M. Frank charged with the murder of Mary Phagan.
Several parties were talking. Some said they thought Leo M. Frank
was guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan, others said they did not.
Henslee stated his conviction that Frank was guilty of the murder of
Mary Phagan. He did this firmly and positively. This took place
in Walker & Holmes' office about the last of June, 1913. I heard
A. H. Henslee state, in Sparta, Ga., between the time of the death of
Mary Phagan and the commencement of the trial of Leo M. Frank for the
murder of Mary Phagan, that Leo M. Frank was guilty of the murder of
Mary Phagan. A. H. Henslee said he had been drawn as a juror and
might have to serve. I work for Walker & Holmes.

John M. Holmes deposes and states by interrogatories issued
under sections 5918 and 5919 of the Code of 1910, as follows: I
have examined the clipping from the Atlanta Georgia of August, 26,
1913, showing a picture of the jury in the above stated
case and showing a likeness of Juror A. H. Henslee. I am per-
sonally acquainted with A. H. Henslee, and A. H. Henslee die-
cussing the question of whether or not Leo M. Frank was guilty of the
murder of Mary Phagan, between the death of said Mary Phagan and the
commencement of the trial of Leo M. Frank charged with the murder of
Mary Phagan. Several men were in my office. Mr. Henslee was asked the
question whether or not he believed Leo M. Frank was guilty of the
murder of Mary Phagan. He stated that he did. He stated this posi-
tively and firmly. This took place in Walker & Holmes' Insurance
office on the morning of June 27th, 1913. I heard A. H. Henslee state
in Sparta, Ga., between the time of the death of Mary Phagan and the
commencement of the trial of Leo M. Frank for the murder of Mary
Phagan, that Leo M. Frank was guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan.
Henslee stated that he had been summoned as a juror. I am a member
of the firm of Walker & Holmes, real estate and insurance.
