:25:03
At school you had a tendency toward
riots. I thought you'd outgrow it.
:25:07
I hate the way this town
is going after Leopold Dilg.
:25:11
Anybody who believes what Holmes says
about him has got to settle with me.
:25:16
I take it you're Dilg's lawyer.
:25:18
I am not. That is, I am.
The state appointed me.
:25:22
But Dilg doesn't want me. He says an
innocent man doesn't need a lawyer.
:25:25
- Original thinker.
- He certainly is.
:25:28
He's the only honest man in town
and they want to hang him.
:25:32
Sam, really.
:25:33
He's been shouting for years
that Holmes is crooked.
:25:37
Mind you, he's just a worker with
gumption enough to fight the boss.
:25:41
Getting quite a following too.
So, what happens?
:25:45
He predicts the mills will burn down.
They do. One man is killed.
:25:49
Here's Holmes' chance.
"It was Dilg," he says.
:25:52
He lashes this burg into a frenzy,
he rigs this phoney trial.
:25:57
Dilg escapes because he knows
he hasn't got a chance.
:26:00
- And the way this town feels now...
- What did you expect me to do?
:26:04
You, the most distinguished legal mind
in the state, could head a committee...
:26:09
...and demand a fair trial for him,
away from the prejudice of this town.
:26:14
Judge Grunstadt is a tool of Holmes
and out to get Dilg.
:26:18
He's said as much.
:26:20
You're not buying the idea.
:26:22
My business is with
the principles of law.
:26:25
I can't get mixed up
in these little local affairs.
:26:29
The philosophy behind the deed,
that's my field.
:26:32
- May I quote that?
- No.
:26:34
Little squabbles, eh? Personality.
:26:39
And now what?
:26:49
- Who lives here?
- Michael Lightcap.
:26:51
- Take the house, I'll take the grounds.
- Have you got a search warrant?
:26:55
Dilg escaped.
We're searching every house.
:26:59
Have you a warrant?
