There are men in this very courtroom,
Your Honor...
:48:04
who control every election
in this city...
:48:08
with such illegal votes.
:48:10
Men who sit in their
fine saloons...
:48:13
surrounded by every luxury
that money can buy--
:48:16
or that they can steal--
:48:19
while public officials bow and smile
before them and fight for their favor.
:48:24
Until today, nobody has ever obtained
sufficient evidence to convict them.
:48:29
Now, however, we have
an eyewitness...
:48:32
who was actually present
when the defendant, Edward Mitchell...
:48:35
was caught attempting to register
under four different names--
:48:39
The last time,
as the beloved
Bishop Cornwall himself.
:48:43
You know, he's really good.
:48:46
- Some day he'll be a great lawyer.
- l think he's all right now.
:48:50
Mr. Clerk, call Carrie Donohue
to the stand.
:48:52
Carrie Donohue
take the stand.
:48:58
- She can't do this to me.
- Quiet!
:49:03
Stand up. Raise your
right hand.
:49:05
Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth...
:49:07
- so help you God? What's your name?
- l do.
:49:09
- Carrie Donohue.
- Sit down.
:49:11
- Miss Donohue, you know this defendant?
- Do l know him?
:49:15
- Hmph! That big squirt.
- None of that now.
:49:18
- l'll haul off--
- Quiet!
:49:20
- Order in the court.
- Refrain from personal remarks.
:49:24
Tell the court what you know
about this man's registration.
:49:26
- Well, my gentleman friend's...
- Face the judge.
:49:28
hired to watch the registration
and l'm keeping him company...
:49:31
when this big squirt
walks in.
:49:33
Well, he don't see me
and l don't say anything...
:49:37
but when he keeps comin' back,
l get suspicious...
:49:40
and l'm just about to tell my friend
that something funny's going on...
:49:44
when, sure enough,
back he comes again...
:49:47
and, this time,
he says he's a bishop.
:49:49
Well, that's too much even for me.
:49:52
Order in the court.
:49:54
- That's what you get for marrying 'em.
- You married to this woman?
:49:56
- What?
- Can you imagine it?
:49:58
- Ever divorce her?
- No!
- Your Honor!
