:18:02
I'll have a peppermint
to settle my stomach.
:18:05
Yes, sir.
:18:18
The United States Court
of the Western District,
:18:21
having criminal jurisdiction in the Indian
Territory, is now in session.
:18:25
Is that Judge Parker,
the hanging judge?
:18:28
He's a tough customer. There's no
appeal except to the President himself!
:18:36
Call Deputy Marshal Cogburn.
:18:39
Mr Reuben J Cogburn
will take the stand.
:18:50
You were sworn this morning,
you're still sworn.
:18:53
Defence will cross-examine.
:19:02
Mr Cogburn, you testified
for the prosecution this morning.
:19:08
Allow me to summarise what you said.
According to your story...
:19:13
...C C Wharton grabbed a shotgun
and killed Marshal Potter.
:19:17
Then he turned the gun on you,
and you shot him.
:19:21
Then the father swung his axe,
and you shot him, too.
:19:26
The defendant tried to run,
you say, and you also shot him.
:19:30
Just winged him,
or he wouldn't be here to pay up!
:19:34
The old man and CC hit the ground dead.
:19:38
How long have you been
a Deputy Marshal, Mr Cogburn?
:19:42
Four years, come March.
:19:45
How many men have you shot
in that time?
:19:48
- The prosecution objects!
- Overruled!
:19:53
How many men have you shot
since becoming a marshal?
:19:57
- I never shot nobody I didn't have to!
- That's not the question. How many?
