1:26:01
as contemplated by the defendant,
1:26:05
is capable of fomenting a disturbance
from which we may not recover.
1:26:07
It is our duty to stop it.
1:26:11
Our government is aware
of its difficulties.
1:26:18
It can pull itself out of its economic rut
without the assistance of Mr Deeds.
1:26:20
His attempted action
must therefore be attributed
1:26:25
to a diseased mind, afflicted
with hallucinations of grandeur
1:26:28
and obsessed with an insane desire
to become a public benefactor.
1:26:31
Your Honour, we would like to call our
first witness, Louise " Babe" Bennett.
1:26:38
Miss Bennett, please.
1:26:43
Raise your right hand, please.
1:26:59
Do you swear to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth?
1:27:01
- I do.
- State your right name.
1:27:05
- Louise Bennett.
- Take the stand.
1:27:06
Miss Bennett, are you employed
by the Morning Mail?
1:27:10
- I ask you direct your attention to me.
- This is ridiculous.
1:27:14
- Answer the question.
- The hearing's ridiculous.
1:27:17
- That man's no more insane than you.
- Outrageous!
1:27:20
It's obviously a frame-up. They're
trying to railroad this man for money.
1:27:23
Another outburst
and I shall hold you in contempt.
1:27:27
We are not interested in your opinion.
You are to here to testify.
1:27:30
Sit down and answer questions.
Proceed.
1:27:34
Thank you.
Are you employed by the Mail?
1:27:36
No.
1:27:38
You're under oath.
Are you employed by the Mail?
1:27:40
No, I resigned last week.
1:27:43
Prior to that time,
were you employed by the Mail?
1:27:44
- Yes.
- You followed the activities of Deeds?
1:27:48
- Yes.
- Did you subsequently write about him?
1:27:51
- Yes.
- Are these the articles?
1:27:53
- Yes.
- Were you present?
1:27:55
- Yes.
- Are they true? They did take place?
1:27:57
- They just make him look silly.
- You saw them?
