...to put Alcatraz on trial.
:46:02
''The warden can be relied upon
to carry out the instructions...
:46:05
''...of the Bureau, that no brutality...
:46:09
''...or inhumanity shall be practiced.
:46:11
''Sustained food and medical attention
shall be given.''
:46:14
We have wholeheartedly followed
those instructions.
:46:17
Thank you.
:46:19
So many opinions being expressed.
:46:21
We attempted to get a statement
from the recent Harvard graduate...
:46:24
...assigned to defend Henri Young.
:46:27
Why don't we keep the trial
in the courtroom? Thank you.
:46:30
l would like to address a few words
to the counsel for the defense.
:46:34
Mr. Stamphill, you are hereby
put on notice...
:46:37
...that this court has no interest
in newspaper headlines...
:46:39
...and will not be swayed by them.
:46:42
l further admonish that counsel's attempts
to try this case in the press...
:46:47
...and not before this court,
will put him in the utmost peril.
:46:52
ls that clear, Mr. Stamphill?
:46:54
Yes, Your Honor.
:46:56
Good.
:46:57
Bailiff, approach the bench.
:46:59
Before l hand down my ruling
on Mr. McNeil's objection...
:47:03
...l'd like to address a few words
to the counsel for the defense.
:47:07
While l cannot give legal advice
and sit on the bench at the same time...
:47:11
...l will express grave concern
with the defense's strategy.
:47:15
Counselor, l strongly recommend
you walk a straight line...
:47:18
...in terms of your defense.
:47:20
Anything you state in this courtroom
will be evaluated not only by the jury...
:47:24
...but very closely scrutinized by myself.
ls that understood, Mr. Stamphill?
:47:28
Yes, Your Honor.
:47:30
Very well.
:47:32
Prosecution's objection is overruled.
:47:35
You may pursue your line of defense...
:47:38
...concerning the penitentiary at Alcatraz...
:47:40
...and l will rule on any objections
on a point-by-point basis.
:47:43
Exception.
:47:45
Noted.
:47:46
Mr. McNeil, you may call
your first witness.
:47:48
Prosecution calls Terrence Swenson.
