:27:01
Yes. His name's Horace Townsend.
:27:05
Horace Townsend.
:27:08
How do you know the defendant?
:27:10
He was the schoolteacher
in Redthorn for a short while.
:27:13
He taught my children for a year.
:27:16
Please continue.
:27:18
I don't know where he come from, but
he sweet-talked his way into the job.
:27:23
He knew a lot of fancy stuff
and Greek writing and all.
:27:26
He talked us into some scheme
to build a new schoolhouse.
:27:31
We gave him everything we had
and then some. More than $ 1 ,200.
:27:36
He run off with every cent.
:27:39
So, Mr. Folsom...
:27:41
...are you quite sure
that this man is Horace Townsend?
:27:45
I'm sure. There's a whole bunch
of folks in Clark County...
:27:49
...be pleased to see
''Yellow Horace'' in jail.
:27:52
Thank you, Mr. Folsom.
Your Honor--
:27:55
Heard he moved on south...
:27:57
...got some girl in the family way
and ran out on her.
:28:00
Ran out on the Army too.
That's why they call him ''Yellow Horace.''
:28:03
When our boys were in a bad fix...
:28:06
...he ran out and left them to it.
The Yankees found him behind the bushes.
:28:11
We lost track of him after that.
But I knew him as soon as I saw him.
:28:15
-What you're saying is--
-What I'm saying...
:28:19
...is that man is a liar,
a thief and a deserter.
:28:23
-And his name is Horace Townsend.
-Thank you, Mr. Folsom.
:28:27
Your Honor...
:28:29
...I believe the defense
has proven beyond a doubt...
:28:32
...that this is a case
of wrongful arrest--
:28:34
Your Honor, may I speak?
:28:37
You may not.
:28:39
-I move for a mistrial.
-If I dismiss my attorney...
:28:41
...may I then speak?
:28:43
You have the right to.
:28:45
-You are dismissed.
-You don't need to.
:28:47
On the basis of that man's testimony,
I'm about to rule on a mistrial.
:28:51
Mr. Webb is trying to prove
I'm not who I am.
:28:54
I don't see how I could win
anything that way.
