1:25:01
Washed your hands of him.
1:25:03
Henri wanted me to ask you, ''Why?''
Why would you do that, sir? Why?

1:25:06
That's not true.
1:25:08
Objection.
1:25:09
l withdraw the question.
l apologize to the jury--

1:25:11
lt's not necessary that you apologize.
1:25:14
Actually, Your Honor, it is.
l made a mistake.

1:25:18
The warden couldn't simply have washed
his hands of Henri Young...

1:25:21
...because he had absolutely no idea
he was there.

1:25:24
lsn't that true?
1:25:25
You're never there. You permit Glenn
to run that prison any way he sees fit.

1:25:29
l am there as much as l need to be.
l run three penal institutions.

1:25:33
lt's impossible to know every detail
of every inmate.

1:25:37
l have the Port Authority records that you
signed every time you went to Alcatraz.

1:25:42
You went seven times in '38,
five in '39, ten in '40...

1:25:46
...and only twice so far this year.
1:25:47
Twenty-four day trips in over 3-1 /2 years...
1:25:50
...while Henri Young was in that dungeon
over 1,000 days.

1:25:53
Twenty-four out of 1,000 days.
1:25:55
That's how much you needed to be there?
1:25:57
You knew nothing about a man who was
left to die in a dungeon for 3-1 /2 years.

1:26:02
Absolutely nothing!
1:26:03
ln fact, you have never even met
Henri Young, have you?

1:26:06
Right now, in fact, is the first time
you have ever seen this man! Look at him !

1:26:11
That's him there! That's Henri Young!
Right there!

1:26:13
-He tried to escape.
-Yes, he did.

1:26:15
But the fact, the cold, brutal fact is
that this man...

1:26:19
...who had never,
never before in his entire life...

1:26:21
...harmed or attempted to harm
another human being...

1:26:24
...was now a murderer!
1:26:26
That is a fact!
1:26:27
-Yes, but he tried to escape.
-lt's a fact--

1:26:30
You can't let them get away with this.
lf we let them, where would we be?

1:26:34
-Should we let murderers roam free?
-Henri Young was not a murderer!

1:26:38
Henri Young was not a murderer
until Alcatraz got a hold of him !

1:26:41
The prison runs under your guidelines,
so you created the murderer, didn't you?

1:26:45
Didn't you?
1:26:48
He tried to escape.
1:26:52
That's the thing, you see.
1:26:59
Do you have any further questions
for this witness?
