Put your hand on the Bible.
1:23:07
Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, so help you God?
1:23:11
- I do.
- Sit down.
1:23:27
Were you acquainted
with Mayella Violet Ewell?
1:23:31
Yes, sir.
1:23:32
I had to pass her place
going to and from the field every day.
1:23:37
Is there any other way to go?
1:23:40
No, sir.
None's I know of.
1:23:43
And did she ever speak to you?
1:23:45
Why, yes, sir.
1:23:48
I'd tip my hat when l'd go by.
1:23:51
And one day she asked me
to come inside the fence...
1:23:55
and bust up a chifforobe for her.
1:23:58
She give me the hatchet,
and I broke it up.
1:24:01
And then she said...
1:24:03
"I reckon I'll have
to give you a nickel, won't I?"
1:24:06
And I said, "No, ma'am.
There ain't no charge."
1:24:10
And I went home.
1:24:13
Mr Finch, that was way last spring,
way over a year ago.
1:24:18
Did you ever go
on the place again?
1:24:24
Yes, sir.
1:24:27
When?
1:24:31
I went lots oftimes.
1:24:34
Seemed like every time
l passed by yonder...
1:24:37
she'd have some little
somethin' for me to do:
1:24:40
chopping kindlin'
and totin' water for her.
1:24:54
What happened to you...
1:24:56
on the evening
ofAugust 2 1 of last year?
