:25:04
People believe
what they want to sometimes.
:25:08
Everybody wanted
Jack to be alive and home...
:25:11
...and when this man showed up,
looking like him, acting like him...
:25:15
...it weren't hard
just to let it be him.
:25:19
But there were signs
anyone could notice.
:25:22
For instance, Mr. Mead fit him
for boots and saw that his foot...
:25:27
...was smaller than Jack's.
:25:29
Got them templates mixed up,
that's all.
:25:31
Another thing, one day these drifters
came looking for work.
:25:35
They'd been in the Army with Jack...
:25:37
...when he was wounded,
and they said this man wasn't him.
:25:41
Why is she saying that about you?
:25:45
I don't know, son.
:25:47
Tell her it's you. All right?
:25:53
All right.
You go back and sit down now.
:25:58
Well, Jack, whoever he is...
:26:01
...pulled a knife on them
so they couldn't expose him.
:26:07
Mrs. Sommersby, I have here
a promissory note...
:26:11
...offering an option to purchase land,
given to a Mr. Joseph...
:26:15
...signed by the defendant.
:26:17
ls that your husband's signature?
:26:19
No. He couldn't sign like Jack, so
he made up a story about a bad hand.
:26:24
Your Honor, this witness
will say anything...
:26:28
...to save her husband.
I move we strike her testimony.
:26:33
Can you offer any support
to the claims of this witness?
:26:38
I can, Your Honor, and do.
:26:42
The defense calls Mr. Matthew Folsom.
:26:48
What is your occupation?
:26:50
I have a 2,000-acre farm
down in Clark County.
:26:55
Do you see the defendant?
:26:57
Yes, sir.
:26:58
Can you identify him?
