1:23:00
Rise, please.
1:23:08
Supreme Court, State of New York,
now in session.
1:23:11
The Honourable Judge May presiding.
Be seated.
1:23:14
The court wishes to warn those present
it will tolerate no disturbances.
1:23:21
Regarding the sanity hearing
of Longfellow Deeds...
1:23:27
You represented by counsel, Mr Deeds?
1:23:31
I understand you have no counsel,
1:23:43
and you have no intention
of defending any of these charges.
1:23:46
Now, if you wish to change your mind,
the hearing can be postponed.
1:23:50
Crazy.
1:23:59
Proceed.
1:24:12
In the interest of my client,
relative of the late Martin W Semple,
1:24:14
we cannot permit the fortune
to be dissipated by a person
1:24:18
whose incompetency and abnormality
we shall prove beyond doubt.
1:24:21
I have a series of articles
written by a newspaperwoman,
1:24:24
who witnessed his conduct
since he came to New York.
1:24:28
She tells how, in mid-conversation,
he'd suddenly begin playing his tuba.
1:24:31
She tells of his attack on several
eminent writers for no reason.
1:24:36
l, myself, unable to keep pace with
his mental quirks and fearful of assault,
1:24:40
turned down an opportunity
to represent him as his attorney.
1:24:44
This newspaperwoman,
who we've subpoenaed to testify,
1:24:47
tells how he held up traffic for an hour
feeding doughnuts to a poor horse.
1:24:50
We have photographs
to substantiate this episode,
1:24:55
and others of him
jumping about a fire engine.
1:24:58
This scarcely sounds
like the action of a man
