EXHIBIT W.

State of Georgia.

Vs.

Leo M. Frank.

Personally appeared Isaac Haas who on oath says that he was standing outside of the court house on Friday afternoon, Aug. 22nd, at about 12.30, and I saw the jury come out of the court room. Soon after the jury came out of the court room, Mr. Dor- sey came out, and the crowd set up cheering and yelling "Hurrah" "Hurrah". At the time of the yelling and cheering the jury was just crossing the street toward the Barber's Supply Co., which is next to the Kiser Building. That in the opinion of the deponent there was about a thousand people crowding about the court room.

Deponent further states that as the jury reached the other side of Pryor Street in front of the Barbers' Supply Company, deponent heard ten or fifteen men in front of the court house yelling toward the jury that unless they brought in a verdict of guilty, that they would kill the whole damn bunch; that the opinion of your deponent, the jury must have heard them, because one of the jurors turned his face toward the yelling just when that occurred.

Isaac Haas.

Sworn to and subscribed before me, this 29th day of August, 1913.
