:17:09
Well, we were playing
a game of five-card...
:17:13
...and Charlie, Mr. Conklin...
:17:16
...saw Sommersby slip a card
off the bottom of the deck.
:17:19
He jumped up
and called him a damn cheat.
:17:21
And what happened
when you got outside?
:17:25
Mr. Conklin hit Sommersby
in the stomach.
:17:30
He went down like a sack of potatoes.
:17:33
Then Sommersby got up
with a gun in his hand.
:17:38
Charlie hollered,
''Don't shoot, Sommersby!''
:17:42
But he shot him like a dog,
and he run off.
:17:46
Now, is the man you refer to
as Sommersby...
:17:49
...here in this courtroom?
:17:54
That's him.
:17:58
Let the record show
witness identified the defendant.
:18:03
I was standing on the corner
across the street.
:18:06
I couldn't see too well
because it was rather dark.
:18:09
And I saw...
:18:11
...a man lying on the ground.
And then he gets up.
:18:15
And I see he has
a gun in his hand.
:18:19
And I heard this other man say:
:18:22
''Don't shoot, Sommersby.''
:18:26
And he shot him.
:18:27
And the man fell to the ground.
:18:31
''Don't shoot, Sommersby.''
:18:34
Mr. Goldman...
:18:36
...did you see him sign this register?
:18:38
Yes, sir.
:18:40
Is that his signature right there?
:18:46
Was there anything wrong with his hand?
:18:50
No, sir.
:18:52
The jury will observe
this hotel register...
:18:55
...and the signature of J . Sommersby,
and compare it to...
:18:59
...the signature on a bank mortgage...
