They're getting up a pot
for Martin's wife.

1:08:27
Even Mapes chipped in.
1:08:29
-I didn't know he was showing his face.
-He ain't. He sent it by Sparks.

1:08:37
That reminds me,
I put in 25 bucks apiece for us.

1:08:41
-How much they got?
-About 500.

1:08:46
Not bad for a husband who bought
cattle in the spring without a bill of sale.

1:08:58
Maybe you ought to read
this letter too.

1:09:01
You know I can't read.
1:09:17
I'll read it to you.
1:09:21
"My dear wife:
1:09:23
Mr. Davies will tell you
what's happening here.

1:09:26
He's a good man and
has done everything he can for me.

1:09:30
There are some other good men too,
only they don't realize what they're doing.

1:09:35
They're the ones I feel sorry for,
because it'll be over for me. . .

1:09:40
. . .but they'll have to go on remembering
for the rest of their lives.

1:09:44
A man just can't take the law into his
own hands and hang people. . .

1:09:48
. . .without hurting
everybody in the world. . .

1:09:50
. . .because then he's not just
breaking one law, but all laws.

1:09:56
Law is a lot more than words
you put in a book. . .

1:09:59
. . .or judges or lawyers or sheriffs
you hire to carry it out.
