:21:03
Yes, sir.
:21:05
You testified you backed away
from old man Wharton.
:21:08
- Yes, sir.
- Which direction?
:21:11
Backward! I always go backward
when I'm backing away!
:21:15
I appreciate the humour of that remark.
:21:17
Aaron Wharton was standing by a pot
when you arrived?
:21:20
More like squatting.
He was stirring the fire under the pot.
:21:25
- How far did you back away?
- Six, eight steps.
:21:30
Meaning Wharton advanced the same
distance? Six or eight steps?
:21:34
- Sixteen feet?
- Something like that.
:21:37
Then explain why the body was found
by the wash pot,
:21:41
one arm in the flames,
the sleeve and hand smouldering.
:21:45
Them hogs!
They may have moved the body.
:21:52
Hogs, indeed!
:21:54
Mr Goudy, do you have
any more questions?
:21:57
None that I'll get a straight answer to.
I'm finished with him.
:22:01
You're dismissed, Mr Cogburn.
:22:04
Call the next witness!
:22:08
Cecil Falling Leaf, take the stand!
:22:17
Raise your right hand...
:22:25
- Mr Rooster Cogburn?
- What is it?
:22:29
I'd like to talk with you a minute.
They say you're a man with true grit.
:22:33
What do you want? Speak up!
:22:36
You've already wrinkled the paper...
:22:39
It's pretty loose
because your makings are too dry.
:22:46
I'm looking for Tom Chaney.
:22:48
Well, who's he?
:22:50
He shot and killed my father,
Frank Ross.
:22:53
He's in the Indian Territory.
I need somebody to go after him.
:22:56
- Who are you?
- Mattie Ross.
:22:58
My family has 480 acres
of good bottomland in Yell County.
