:59:00
But he or someone else didn't pay you to
concoct an alibi for him and his friends...
:59:04
...by any chance, did they?
- Objection!
:59:07
Sustained. Strike it out.
:59:10
I wonder if I haven't been calling
the defense witnesses by mistake.
:59:14
His last remark proves
the district attorney...
:59:17
...hasn't lost his humor,
in spite of the fact...
:59:19
...that his attempt to establish
the presence of the defendants...
:59:23
...at the lynching has either failed
or been ridiculed by the defense.
:59:27
Wait. Just wait.
:59:28
Thaddus Hummel, Sheriff of Strand
County, is now on the stand.
:59:32
Can you identify any or all
of these defendants...
:59:36
...as having been in the mob
that stormed your jail and burned it...
:59:39
...thereby burning your prisoner
to death?
:59:42
Objection!
:59:44
To the latter part of the question as
assuming a fact not yet proved.
:59:48
I will change the question to:
:59:51
"Who stormed your jail
and burned it," then.
1:00:02
No, sir.
1:00:03
I can't identify them.
1:00:06
Can you, then, tell me the names of
anyone, other then these defendants...
1:00:10
...among those rioters?
- No, sir.
1:00:14
They must have been men
from out of town.
1:00:17
Oh, I see. Foreigners.
1:00:21
I will remind the jury of the easy habit
of putting on foreigners...
1:00:26
...events that disturb our conscience.
1:00:29
Or perhaps it was a roving band
of redskins. Indians, I mean.
1:00:34
Only red-skinned thing I saw
was that tomato...
1:00:37
...that plopped me in the face
and made a fool of me.
1:00:41
I must remind the spectators
of the dignity of this court.
1:00:47
An injury you suffered put you to bed
for a week, sheriff.
1:00:52
How did that happen?
1:00:53
The deputies that stuck with me...
1:00:57
...most of them disappeared...
1:00:58
...and I were holding off the mob
as best we could...
