1:06:01
Get going, Lincoln.
1:06:05
Now, Sheriff, let's just suppose
that my two defendants here...

1:06:09
were like that man
with a pitchfork...

1:06:12
only, let's say, they've got a knife.
1:06:15
And Scrub White
was the farmer's dog...

1:06:17
only instead of teeth,
he's got a pistol.

1:06:22
Well, now, wouldn't you say
it was a matter of self-defense...

1:06:25
to use that blade...
1:06:27
so long as Scrub didn't come at 'em
with the other end of the pistol?

1:06:31
Your Honor, I object...
1:06:34
and move that these remarks
be stricken from the record.

1:06:37
Counsel is presenting an argument.
1:06:40
The counsel's remarks
will be stricken from the record.

1:06:44
The jury will disregard them.
1:06:46
Now, you jurors watch out.
Don't remember about that dog.

1:06:51
- That's all.
- Just a moment.

1:06:57
You don't -
1:07:01
You don't, of your own knowledge...
1:07:03
know that Scrub White
came at them...

1:07:06
with the shooting end
of the pistol, do you?

1:07:09
- No, sir.
- Therefore -

1:07:11
That's the end the bullets
usually come from, isn't it?

1:07:13
Yes, sir.
1:07:15
There - But you didn't see
a shot fired, did you?

1:07:17
- No, sir.
- Then -

1:07:18
- But you heard it?
- I heard something sounded like a shot.

1:07:22
What do you figure you're best at -
seeing or hearing?

1:07:25
Well, both.
1:07:27
That's what I figured.
Step down.

1:07:31
If you -
1:07:32
Call Palmer Cass.
1:07:35
Palmer Cass, take the stand.
1:07:43
Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth,
1:07:44
the whole truth and nothing but the truth,
so help you, God?

1:07:47
- I do.
- What's your name?

1:07:49
J. Palmer Cass.
1:07:52
You knew Scrub White, didn't you?
1:07:55
Sure. I knew him well.
1:07:58
- When was the last time you saw him?
- The night he was killed.
