EXHIBIT Q.

The State of Georgia,
Vs.
Fulton Superior Court.
Leo M. Frank.

State of Georgia, Fulton County.

Personally appeared Samuel A. Boorstin, who, being duly sworn, on oath says: That on Friday evening, on the 22 day of August, 1913, at about 5 or 5:30 P. M., he was present at the Court room of Fulton Superior Court, Judge L. S. Roan, presiding during the trial of the State Versus Leo M. Frank; and after adjournment, and when the jury had been taken from the courtroom, and shortly thereafter, the Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey, had passed out of the court room, there was a large crowd waiting outside, through which the jury passed, comprising, perhaps, no less than two or three thousand people; that this crowd did tumultuously and noisily applaud and cheer the Solicitor General, and did congregate around the court room on the outside, standing in great numbers, both on the street and on the side walks; that deponent, upon adjournment of court, was walking up Pryor Street from said court room in a northerly direction, and when he reached Pryor and Alabama Sts., he saw two persons peering out of the third floor corner window in the Kimball House, looking in a Southwest direction at the large crowd congregated between the Kiser Building and the court house, that, as deponent continued walking northward and reached the restaurant in the Union Car shed, corner Pryor and Wall Sts., he still observed one of the figures in the jury room peering southward, with both hands upon the window sill, whom he recognized as being Juror Smith, one of the Jurors in the case of the State Vs. Leo M. Frank, then being on trial. The other person, who had his head through the window peering southward, had by this time stuck his head back into the room, and deponent could not tell who he was.
Sam'l. A. Boorstin.

Sworn to and subscribed before me this 3rd day of Oct., 1913.
