:08:03
It was too late to do very much for him...
:08:06
and I guess it's too late
to do very much for you.
:08:09
I'm afraid you're satisfied with something
to eat and a place to sleep.
:08:12
Father Flanagan!
:08:13
- What is it, Skinny?
- They got Jimmy!
:08:15
The cops got Jimmy!
Please tell them to let him go.
:08:17
He's my brother.
:08:19
- Who else have they got?
- They got Tommy and they got Steve.
:08:21
And they told me to go home.
:08:23
Yeah, home.
:08:26
Where's your mother, Skinny?
:08:30
Come on. We'll see what we can do.
:08:32
Mr. Morris, do you know
who broke your window?
:08:35
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Pardon me, but does it really matter?
:08:37
It was a free-for-all.
Any one of them could have done it.
:08:39
What do you mean, Father?
:08:40
Not to obstruct justice, even if I could,
but one boy threw that stone...
:08:44
did this special damage.
But he didn't mean to do it.
:08:46
They were all throwing things.
They were all excited.
:08:49
I'm trying to reduce it to a definite charge.
:08:50
That's what I was afraid of, Your Honor.
:08:52
- None of us want to abuse children.
- But we do, nevertheless.
:08:54
The business of the court is to take care
of the honest citizen.
:08:57
You. I have a high regard for you, but...
:09:00
Your Honor, these boys were arrested
this morning.
:09:01
It's now... It's 3:30.
:09:04
Has anybody come forward
to say one good word for them?
:09:07
Father, mother, uncle, sister. Anybody?
:09:09
Well, you're saying quite a few.
:09:11
And I'll go on, until you take back
the privilege you granted me.
:09:14
You heard Mr. Calatieri.
:09:16
- May I question him?
- Certainly.
:09:17
- Sit down, Mr. Morris.
- Thank you.
:09:19
Mr. Calatieri.
:09:21
Yes, Father?
:09:23
Tommy, stand up.
:09:25
- Tommy came in to buy some salami.
- Yes.
:09:28
I wrap my salami. I put him down.
He say, "Half a dozen eggs."
:09:33
I turn around to get the eggs,
I come back, where is my salami?
:09:38
No salami and no Tommy.
:09:40
But you didn't really see Tommy
steal the salami, did you?
:09:45
My nice, fresh salami. She no walk away.
:09:47
And the police found the salami,
and some bread, some other things.
:09:50
There's no doubt about their being stolen.
:09:52
There's also no doubt that these boys
should be taken off the streets...
:09:55
- for their own good.
- And sent to the reformatory.
:09:59
I'm wondering if you want to do that
to a homeless boy...
