Sworn to before me this 31st day of August, 1900.
GEO. P. HAMMOND, JR., Notary Public (164), N. Y. County.

_City and County of New York, ss._:
Mrs. Kate Jackson, being duly sworn, deposes and says that she resides
at 481 7th Avenue, and that on Wednesday evening, August 15th, 1900,
she heard a great commotion in the hallway and almost immediately a
loud knocking on her door, and loud demands to open the door. She
thought by the sound that the mob that she had heard and seen about
the house was endeavoring to get into her rooms, and do her and her
children bodily harm, and possibly murder. She caught up her youngest
child (three years old) in her arms, and in her frenzy and fright
jumped out the window on to a shed and thence to the yard, the child
still in her arms, receiving bruises during her descent which have
made her lame and unable to walk, and has suffered so from shock that
she is now in bed and unable to leave it, and is under the care of her
physician, Dr. William Hartley, 335 West 34th Street.
