:04:00
could you find some way
to be sorry for that?
:04:02
Dan, life and death should be left
to the Creator of life and death.
:04:07
Please stay, will you?
:04:16
How are you, Judge?
:04:17
This is Lane Wellington. His column fought
for you. Didn't think you were guilty.
:04:21
Sorry to let you down, pal.
:04:22
If you'd stuck to your guns,
I'd have kept you alive for years.
:04:25
I wouldn't try to be funny, if I were you.
:04:27
This man wants to admit
his debt to the State.
:04:29
What's that? My debt to the State?
:04:31
If you'd have done this sooner,
the debt wouldn't be so big.
:04:35
Is that what this is all about?
:04:37
You're going to take my life,
because I owe the State something?
:04:40
When I was a kid, 12 years old,
my mother died.
:04:43
Did I go on the cuff to the State
for the gutters I slept in? Is that it?
:04:46
That's just sniveling. The State reached
its arms out for three years...
:04:49
Yeah, in the reformatory.
:04:50
When I went in,
copping a loaf of bread was a job.
:04:52
- When I come out, I could rob a bank!
- Holy cats!
:04:55
Get this, big shots.
I'm going out that way in a few minutes.
:04:58
So you're getting the lowdown.
:05:01
Where was the State when a Ionely,
starving kid cried himself to sleep...
:05:04
in a flophouse with a bunch of drunks,
tramps, and hoboes?
:05:07
Is that when this debt started?
:05:09
The only pals I had a chance at
were the kids in the alley.
:05:11
I had to be tough to string along.
:05:14
Just before we got out
of the State's arms...
:05:16
the reformatory, we made up a gang,
six of us, and pals.
:05:20
We bet our lives across the board,
and let them ride. Crooks!
:05:23
Sure! Your mouths pop open at that one.
:05:25
Greek to you wise guys, ain't it?
:05:28
One of them turned rat for State's
evidence, and I killed him. But get this.
:05:32
One friend when I'm 12 years old...
:05:36
and I don't stand here like this!
Now, go on, get out of here...
:05:39
you bunch of mush-brained saps! Get out!
:05:49
Listen, Father. I am sorry for my mistakes.
:05:54
I am sorry.
