1
00:00:11,145 --> 00:00:13,147
( theme song )

2
00:01:03,431 --> 00:01:06,434
( sounds of voices )

3
00:01:10,738 --> 00:01:13,941
We're in complete agreement
about this, Judge.

4
00:01:14,175 --> 00:01:16,076
I don't know.

5
00:01:16,177 --> 00:01:17,978
We're not going to take no
for an answer.

6
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:20,047
We're not going to let you
turn us down.

7
00:01:20,148 --> 00:01:21,415
You're the only man
in this district

8
00:01:21,515 --> 00:01:23,317
who can beat
Oliver Smith at the polls.

9
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:25,085
Even the Governor
agrees with us.

10
00:01:25,186 --> 00:01:27,255
That's why Arnold
made this special trip here.

11
00:01:27,355 --> 00:01:30,391
You may be overestimating
my drawing power, Arnold.

12
00:01:30,491 --> 00:01:32,092
Nonsense, Henry.

13
00:01:32,193 --> 00:01:34,328
You're the finest judge
we ever had in this state.

14
00:01:34,428 --> 00:01:35,863
Everybody knows that,

15
00:01:35,963 --> 00:01:38,399
and you're
the best qualified man
for the post.

16
00:01:38,499 --> 00:01:41,269
I can't understand
why you'd even hesitate, Henry.

17
00:01:41,369 --> 00:01:42,570
You can't?

18
00:01:42,670 --> 00:01:44,372
Well, you of all people
I thought would understand.

19
00:01:44,472 --> 00:01:45,339
You and Fred.

20
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:47,441
Well, I know,

21
00:01:47,541 --> 00:01:49,477
but that was
a long time ago.

22
00:01:49,577 --> 00:01:53,281
Yes, it was.
A long time ago.

23
00:01:53,381 --> 00:01:55,849
Times have changed.

24
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:59,320
But the basic issues haven't.

25
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:02,590
The Governor wants you to know
he'll back you all the way.

26
00:02:02,690 --> 00:02:04,592
The way the people
of this county feel about you,

27
00:02:04,692 --> 00:02:07,295
Judge, you don't need
any support from the capitol.

28
00:02:07,395 --> 00:02:09,363
Well, I must be going.

29
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,668
Well, how soon
do you need an answer?

30
00:02:14,768 --> 00:02:17,305
Arnold has to
go back tomorrow
on the noon train.

31
00:02:17,405 --> 00:02:18,706
You staying at the hotel?

32
00:02:18,806 --> 00:02:20,208
Yes.

33
00:02:20,308 --> 00:02:21,809
Well, I'll let you know
in the morning.

34
00:02:21,909 --> 00:02:22,976
Fine.
Good night.

35
00:02:23,211 --> 00:02:24,312
Good night.

36
00:02:24,412 --> 00:02:25,679
Now don't let us down.

37
00:02:25,779 --> 00:02:27,147
( chuckles )

38
00:02:27,248 --> 00:02:28,316
Thank you for coming over.

39
00:02:28,416 --> 00:02:29,617
Good night.
Fred.

40
00:02:31,685 --> 00:02:33,221
( clears throat )

41
00:02:36,924 --> 00:02:39,827
Well, as long as you're up,
you might as well come on down.

42
00:02:39,927 --> 00:02:42,563
You're liable to catch cold
sitting on the stairs.

43
00:02:55,409 --> 00:02:57,611
Hey, how'd you know
I was there?

44
00:02:57,711 --> 00:02:59,547
Oh, isn't it exciting?

45
00:02:59,647 --> 00:03:02,583
Oh, you'll look perfect
in a robe sitting up there
on the judge's bench!

46
00:03:02,683 --> 00:03:04,585
I'll be so proud of you.

47
00:03:04,685 --> 00:03:06,019
You think I should run, huh?

48
00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:07,255
Well, of course.

49
00:03:07,355 --> 00:03:09,323
You wouldn't turn it down,
would you?

50
00:03:11,325 --> 00:03:12,860
Let me show you something.

51
00:03:18,466 --> 00:03:20,568
I don't understand.

52
00:03:20,668 --> 00:03:22,770
I keep this around
as a reminder.

53
00:03:22,870 --> 00:03:25,172
You don't remember
the promise I made you,
do you?

54
00:03:25,273 --> 00:03:28,642
Oh, of course not,
you were only five
at the time.

55
00:03:28,742 --> 00:03:31,211
Jake Carhew.

56
00:03:32,980 --> 00:03:36,817
He brought this revolver
into Medicine Bow...

57
00:03:36,917 --> 00:03:39,287
ten years ago.

58
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,563
Jake and his brother Lennie
had more hate in them

59
00:03:49,663 --> 00:03:52,232
than any men I ever knew.

60
00:04:37,711 --> 00:04:39,713
It's them all right.

61
00:04:50,458 --> 00:04:52,993
Ain't seen you boys
in quite a while.

62
00:04:54,495 --> 00:04:55,829
We wanna see Billy.

63
00:04:57,431 --> 00:04:58,632
You got him here, ain't ya?

64
00:04:58,732 --> 00:04:59,867
He's here.

65
00:05:01,502 --> 00:05:03,404
You just get in town?

66
00:05:03,504 --> 00:05:06,039
Rode clear from Montana.

67
00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:09,977
Well, your little brother Billy
fixed himself up good this time.

68
00:05:10,077 --> 00:05:12,045
Killed old Clyde Morton.

69
00:05:18,486 --> 00:05:19,620
He had his trial?

70
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,355
Last Tuesday.

71
00:05:21,455 --> 00:05:23,791
Jury found him guilty
of murder in the first degree.

72
00:05:23,891 --> 00:05:26,794
The judge will be
passin' sentence Monday mornin'
first thing.

73
00:05:26,894 --> 00:05:28,862
And I'm givin' you
a fair warnin'.

74
00:05:28,962 --> 00:05:30,598
You boys pull
any rough stuff
in this town,

75
00:05:30,698 --> 00:05:31,899
I'll slap you in jail.

76
00:05:33,434 --> 00:05:35,503
You gonna let us
see Billy or not?

77
00:05:35,603 --> 00:05:37,638
How 'bout it?

78
00:05:37,738 --> 00:05:39,607
Sure, you can see him.

79
00:05:39,707 --> 00:05:41,509
Put your guns on the desk.

80
00:05:51,985 --> 00:05:54,154
You never did
trust us Carhews, did ya?

81
00:05:54,354 --> 00:05:56,023
No, can't say I ever did.

82
00:05:57,458 --> 00:05:58,826
Same old town.

83
00:05:58,926 --> 00:06:02,095
Nothin' don't ever change
around here, does it, Sheriff?

84
00:06:02,195 --> 00:06:05,032
Lots of changes
since you've been here.

85
00:06:05,132 --> 00:06:07,100
I ain't sheriff anymore,
for one thing.

86
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,536
Got beat
in the last election.

87
00:06:08,636 --> 00:06:10,471
I'm just a deputy now.

88
00:06:22,182 --> 00:06:23,817
You got company, Billy.

89
00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:27,187
Jake! Lennie!

90
00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:28,956
Holler when you want out.

91
00:06:29,056 --> 00:06:31,391
Doggone,
I sure never thought
I'd see you boys again!

92
00:06:31,492 --> 00:06:33,727
Ah, we come
as soon as we heard.

93
00:06:33,827 --> 00:06:35,929
Workin' with some of the boys
up in Montana.

94
00:06:36,029 --> 00:06:38,466
Boy, I sure
should've gone with ya,
and that's a fact.

95
00:06:38,566 --> 00:06:40,468
( banging )

96
00:06:40,568 --> 00:06:42,770
They're gonna hang me!

97
00:06:45,573 --> 00:06:46,840
They ain't gonna hang you.

98
00:06:46,940 --> 00:06:48,308
Yes, they are!

99
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:49,743
They pushed me
right through that trial,

100
00:06:49,843 --> 00:06:51,879
they're buildin' the gallows
for me, and they aim to use it!

101
00:06:51,979 --> 00:06:54,047
I'm gonna ask you
a question, Billy,

102
00:06:54,147 --> 00:06:56,450
and I want you
to tell me the truth.

103
00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:58,686
Did you shoot that fella
like they claim?

104
00:06:58,786 --> 00:06:59,987
No!

105
00:07:00,087 --> 00:07:01,455
Don't you lie to me, Billy!

106
00:07:01,555 --> 00:07:02,823
I can tell when you're lyin'!

107
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:06,126
You'd have shot him too,
Jake, I swear it!

108
00:07:06,226 --> 00:07:07,561
There was no other choice.

109
00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:11,098
It don't matter.

110
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:14,635
We ain't gonna let them
hang you, Billy.

111
00:07:14,735 --> 00:07:16,069
That's a promise.

112
00:07:16,169 --> 00:07:17,505
What do you aim to do?

113
00:07:17,605 --> 00:07:19,139
We're gonna get you
out of here.

114
00:07:19,239 --> 00:07:20,841
Just the two of you?

115
00:07:20,941 --> 00:07:22,610
Listen, I don't want you
and Lennie gettin' hurt
for nothin'.

116
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:24,444
Nah, there's more than just us.

117
00:07:24,545 --> 00:07:25,979
We got word
to the rest of the family.

118
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:27,815
There's Uncle Wilkie,
Cousin Harv...

119
00:07:27,915 --> 00:07:30,450
Ah, even so.
Listen, bustin' me out of here
ain't gonna--

120
00:07:30,551 --> 00:07:32,352
I didn't say nothin'
about bustin' you
out of here...

121
00:07:32,553 --> 00:07:33,687
unless we have to.

122
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:34,822
There's other ways.

123
00:07:34,922 --> 00:07:36,389
What?

124
00:07:36,490 --> 00:07:37,991
Listen,
Judge Garth's gonna
sentence me Monday mornin'.

125
00:07:38,091 --> 00:07:41,094
Who was your lawyer
at the trial?

126
00:07:41,194 --> 00:07:42,429
Old Parmalee?

127
00:07:42,530 --> 00:07:44,832
He's been dead two years,
right after you left.

128
00:07:44,932 --> 00:07:46,634
New fella named Smith.

129
00:07:46,734 --> 00:07:49,637
Denton, open up.
We're comin' out.

130
00:07:49,737 --> 00:07:52,472
Listen, you need anything,
now you let us know.

131
00:07:53,707 --> 00:07:55,876
Listen, you're just
wastin' your time.

132
00:07:55,976 --> 00:07:57,711
There's nothin' you can do,

133
00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,680
even if there's time
to do it in.

134
00:08:02,349 --> 00:08:04,417
I'm gonna make you
a promise, Billy.

135
00:08:04,518 --> 00:08:08,822
When we leave this town,
we're takin' you along,

136
00:08:08,922 --> 00:08:10,591
and there ain't nothin',

137
00:08:10,691 --> 00:08:14,194
I mean nothin'
in this whole world
gonna stop us!

138
00:08:21,134 --> 00:08:24,572
That new lawyer fella--
what's his name?

139
00:08:24,672 --> 00:08:25,573
Uh, Smith.

140
00:08:25,673 --> 00:08:26,840
Yeah, where's his office?

141
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:29,109
Upstairs
over the real estate office.

142
00:08:29,209 --> 00:08:31,378
You're wastin'
your time, Jake.

143
00:08:31,645 --> 00:08:32,980
Yeah?

144
00:08:34,915 --> 00:08:37,017
Here you are.

145
00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:47,895
Go find the sheriff, Piney.

146
00:08:47,995 --> 00:08:49,329
Think they'll try somethin'?

147
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:50,598
I know they will.

148
00:08:50,698 --> 00:08:52,866
Well, I've done
everything possible.

149
00:08:52,966 --> 00:08:54,702
I'm afraid there's
nothing more that can be done.

150
00:08:54,802 --> 00:08:55,836
I'm sorry.

151
00:08:55,936 --> 00:08:57,571
There's always somethin'
that can be done.

152
00:08:57,671 --> 00:08:59,106
We can raise more money
if that would--

153
00:08:59,206 --> 00:09:00,473
No, that wouldn't help.

154
00:09:00,574 --> 00:09:01,875
I've already appealed
the verdict.

155
00:09:01,975 --> 00:09:03,744
It was turned down
this morning.

156
00:09:03,844 --> 00:09:06,580
Frankly, I didn't even
have solid grounds
for the appeal,

157
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:07,715
but I had to try.

158
00:09:07,815 --> 00:09:09,049
Well, let me
tell you somethin'.

159
00:09:09,149 --> 00:09:11,084
We're gonna do a lot more
than just tryin'.

160
00:09:11,184 --> 00:09:12,285
Now Billy ain't hangin'.

161
00:09:15,188 --> 00:09:18,191
I'm afraid that's
in Judge Garth's hands now.

162
00:09:19,226 --> 00:09:20,293
Would he let Billy go?

163
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:23,764
No, the jury
found him guilty

164
00:09:23,864 --> 00:09:25,132
without recommendation
of mercy.

165
00:09:25,232 --> 00:09:27,334
You sure there
ain't any loops or holes?

166
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:29,737
Well...

167
00:09:29,837 --> 00:09:34,341
by law, the judge
could set aside the verdict,
but...

168
00:09:34,441 --> 00:09:36,376
Then it ain't up to the jury,
just to him.

169
00:09:36,476 --> 00:09:38,478
That's right,
the jury's been discharged,

170
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:41,849
but the judge would have
to have good reasons to take
such an action.

171
00:09:41,949 --> 00:09:45,786
Suppose you tell us
some of those reasons,
some of the good ones.

172
00:09:45,886 --> 00:09:48,355
Well, there aren't many,

173
00:09:48,455 --> 00:09:50,490
but I'm afraid there
just isn't much chance.

174
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:53,794
Mister, Billy ain't hangin'.

175
00:10:00,701 --> 00:10:01,835
Well!

176
00:10:01,935 --> 00:10:04,537
Daddy, Daddy,
can I go to?
Please, please?

177
00:10:04,638 --> 00:10:06,640
Well now, Betsy,
it's a long ride.

178
00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:08,776
I think you better stay here
with Mrs. McCleary.

179
00:10:08,876 --> 00:10:11,511
Please, Daddy,
I wanna see the ranch again!

180
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:12,780
Now he's right, dear.

181
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,014
You stay here with me

182
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:15,415
and let your father
and Miss Finley

183
00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:17,084
take their drive together.

184
00:10:17,184 --> 00:10:19,753
Oh, I never get
to go any place!

185
00:10:19,853 --> 00:10:21,254
( chuckles )
Betsy, listen,

186
00:10:21,354 --> 00:10:23,757
the very next time we go out,
we'll take you with us.

187
00:10:23,857 --> 00:10:25,926
I was planning to whip up
a batch of cookies today,

188
00:10:26,026 --> 00:10:27,194
and I'd like you to help me.

189
00:10:27,294 --> 00:10:28,561
Brownies?
Mm-hmm.

190
00:10:28,762 --> 00:10:29,930
Well, all right then.

191
00:10:30,030 --> 00:10:31,699
( all laugh )

192
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:34,735
Ah, be a good girl
and mind Mrs. McCleary.

193
00:10:34,835 --> 00:10:35,736
I will.

194
00:10:35,836 --> 00:10:36,870
Come on, dear.

195
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:39,072
We'll wave good-bye
from the doorway.

196
00:10:39,172 --> 00:10:41,041
( all laugh )

197
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,244
She's very good with Betsy.

198
00:10:44,344 --> 00:10:46,013
Oh, I'm lucky.

199
00:10:46,113 --> 00:10:49,282
Not many boarding houses
are run by women
like Mrs. McCleary.

200
00:10:49,382 --> 00:10:51,651
Thanks for meeting me here.

201
00:10:51,752 --> 00:10:54,287
It'll save us
a good hour's time.
Mm-hmm.

202
00:10:58,191 --> 00:10:59,326
Hello, Burt.

203
00:10:59,426 --> 00:11:01,228
Judge. Alice.

204
00:11:04,297 --> 00:11:06,133
Anything wrong?

205
00:11:06,233 --> 00:11:09,336
Well, I don't know, Judge,
my deputy seems to think so.

206
00:11:09,436 --> 00:11:12,072
Billy Carhew's brothers
just showed up in town.

207
00:11:13,741 --> 00:11:16,109
Well, I've been expecting
to see them. They giving you
any trouble?

208
00:11:16,209 --> 00:11:17,177
No.

209
00:11:17,277 --> 00:11:18,846
They will, depend on it.

210
00:11:18,946 --> 00:11:20,347
Are they that bad, Judge?

211
00:11:22,816 --> 00:11:24,584
Best thing that ever
happened to this town

212
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:26,586
was when the Carhews left.

213
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:30,090
Too bad Billy Carhew
didn't leave with them.

214
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:33,226
Well, anyway, I figured
I better let you know.

215
00:11:33,326 --> 00:11:35,395
Denton seemed to think
they'd be lookin' you up.

216
00:11:35,495 --> 00:11:36,596
Where are they now?

217
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:39,099
They went over
to see Oliver Smith.

218
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:41,735
Well, that doesn't
sound like the Carhews.

219
00:11:43,971 --> 00:11:45,638
Alice, I'm gonna
have to stay here,

220
00:11:45,739 --> 00:11:48,809
at least until I find out
what they want.

221
00:11:48,909 --> 00:11:50,978
Maybe we can see
the ranch tomorrow.

222
00:11:51,078 --> 00:11:52,612
Of course,
and don't worry,

223
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:54,114
I don't mind
driving home alone.

224
00:11:54,214 --> 00:11:55,215
Thanks.

225
00:11:55,315 --> 00:11:56,784
Oh, I better tell
Mrs. McCleary

226
00:11:56,884 --> 00:11:58,185
I'll be here for dinner
after all.

227
00:11:58,285 --> 00:11:59,452
Excuse me.

228
00:12:03,323 --> 00:12:06,393
Stop off by the lake.
I'd like to see you.

229
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,501
I'll be in my office
if you need me, Judge.

230
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:16,303
All right, Burt.

231
00:12:20,007 --> 00:12:21,741
Well, Judge,
it's none of my business,

232
00:12:21,842 --> 00:12:24,077
but you're never going to find
a mother for this little girl

233
00:12:24,177 --> 00:12:26,146
unless you take some time away
from that courthouse.

234
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:29,249
Well, I'm working on that
right now, Mrs. McCleary.

235
00:12:29,349 --> 00:12:31,919
You and Alice had better
set a date soon.

236
00:12:32,019 --> 00:12:33,987
I thought that's
what you were up to today.

237
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:35,823
Now, Mrs. McCleary.

238
00:12:35,923 --> 00:12:38,025
Say, you better save me
some of those brownies,
you hear?

239
00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:40,027
I thought you
didn't like brownies.

240
00:12:40,127 --> 00:12:42,062
( all laugh )

241
00:12:44,865 --> 00:12:45,866
( door closes )

242
00:12:48,001 --> 00:12:49,903
Alice...

243
00:12:50,003 --> 00:12:52,940
I hope you don't mind
going home alone.

244
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,474
Oh, no, no.

245
00:12:54,574 --> 00:12:58,545
I--I was worried about you
and those Carhew brothers.

246
00:12:58,645 --> 00:13:01,481
Well, there's nothing
to worry about.

247
00:13:01,581 --> 00:13:06,219
You go on ahead.
I'll--I'll walk
to the courthouse.

248
00:13:06,319 --> 00:13:08,755
Is it that serious
of a problem?

249
00:13:08,856 --> 00:13:11,058
No, I just wanna think.

250
00:13:13,693 --> 00:13:16,663
I'm sorry we won't
have a chance to talk today.

251
00:13:16,864 --> 00:13:18,431
We will tomorrow.

252
00:13:19,833 --> 00:13:21,334
Good-bye, Henry.

253
00:13:34,948 --> 00:13:36,316
Henry.

254
00:13:36,416 --> 00:13:37,851
Morning, Howard.

255
00:13:37,951 --> 00:13:40,520
I thought you and Alice
were gonna ride out
to your ranch today.

256
00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:44,557
Well, we had a change in plans.
Alice went on home.

257
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:46,894
Then you heard the Carhew boys
are in town.

258
00:13:46,994 --> 00:13:48,395
Yeah.

259
00:13:48,495 --> 00:13:50,097
Take care of yourself.

260
00:13:50,197 --> 00:13:53,333
I wouldn't want anything
to happen to my daughter's
best prospect.

261
00:13:53,433 --> 00:13:54,567
( chuckles )

262
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:56,303
Well, I'm a cautious man.

263
00:13:56,403 --> 00:13:58,939
Well, you know
the town's in back of you.

264
00:13:59,039 --> 00:14:01,574
I mean, all the way.

265
00:14:01,674 --> 00:14:04,011
Carhew is gonna hang,
isn't he?

266
00:14:05,245 --> 00:14:07,614
Sentence will be passed Monday.

267
00:14:07,847 --> 00:14:09,449
Morning, Howard.

268
00:14:23,230 --> 00:14:26,166
Mornin', Judge.
Surprised to see us?

269
00:14:26,266 --> 00:14:28,168
No.

270
00:14:28,268 --> 00:14:32,039
We was lookin' for ya.
Figured to talk to you
about Billy.

271
00:14:32,139 --> 00:14:34,074
We can talk in my chambers.

272
00:14:34,174 --> 00:14:37,344
I, uh, I don't allow weapons
of any kind in my courtroom.

273
00:14:37,444 --> 00:14:38,511
You can leave them out here.

274
00:14:38,611 --> 00:14:39,879
Now hold on--
Do as he says.

275
00:14:39,980 --> 00:14:42,049
We wanna do everything legal.

276
00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:54,161
What's on your mind?

277
00:14:54,261 --> 00:14:56,129
Poor Billy--
he's sure in a terrible fix.

278
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:57,464
We come to help him out.

279
00:14:57,564 --> 00:14:58,831
What do you want of me?

280
00:14:58,932 --> 00:15:00,667
Well, we had this little talk
with Billy's lawyer,

281
00:15:00,767 --> 00:15:02,902
and he says it's up to you
if Billy hangs.

282
00:15:03,003 --> 00:15:05,838
Billy--
he didn't kill nobody, Judge.

283
00:15:05,939 --> 00:15:07,640
He gave me his word on that.

284
00:15:09,042 --> 00:15:10,810
Did you see the transcript
of the trial?

285
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:13,446
The lawyer--
he filled us in on it.

286
00:15:16,716 --> 00:15:19,953
Your brother was heard
to threaten Morton
over a gambling debt.

287
00:15:20,053 --> 00:15:23,590
He was seen in the vicinity
of the Rock House Road
by four witnesses

288
00:15:23,690 --> 00:15:26,826
five minutes before the shots
were fired,

289
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:30,397
and he was seen riding away
from the scene of the killing
by two other witnesses,

290
00:15:30,497 --> 00:15:33,700
and he paid for a drink
at the Double Eagle Saloon

291
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,437
with a gold piece
which had been given to Morton
not three hours before.

292
00:15:37,537 --> 00:15:39,906
Well, ain't all that
what you call

293
00:15:40,007 --> 00:15:41,608
"circumstantial evidence"?

294
00:15:41,708 --> 00:15:43,310
All evidence
is circumstantial

295
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:44,877
unless there's
an eye-witness.

296
00:15:44,978 --> 00:15:46,413
Well then, if nobody
seen him do it,

297
00:15:46,513 --> 00:15:49,149
how can you be
so all-fired sure he did it,
Judge?

298
00:15:49,249 --> 00:15:51,584
Look, I don't intend
to discuss the testimony
of a case

299
00:15:51,684 --> 00:15:53,453
that's been heard
and the verdict handed down.

300
00:15:53,553 --> 00:15:56,056
( chuckles )

301
00:15:56,156 --> 00:15:57,657
I know you, Judge.

302
00:15:57,757 --> 00:16:00,193
You're a fair man.

303
00:16:00,293 --> 00:16:01,428
You're a real fair man.

304
00:16:01,528 --> 00:16:04,664
Now if we had us
a good legal reason

305
00:16:04,764 --> 00:16:06,733
why you shouldn't hang Billy,

306
00:16:06,833 --> 00:16:09,669
then you'd be obliged
to go along with us.

307
00:16:09,769 --> 00:16:11,871
Ain't that right?

308
00:16:12,105 --> 00:16:13,006
What reason?

309
00:16:13,106 --> 00:16:15,508
Well, the lawyer
says that on account

310
00:16:15,608 --> 00:16:17,977
of the way people
think of us Carhews,

311
00:16:18,078 --> 00:16:20,913
Billy didn't get himself
a fair trial.

312
00:16:21,014 --> 00:16:23,883
A jury found Billy
guilty of murder.

313
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:26,119
Well, the point we was talkin'
with the lawyer

314
00:16:26,219 --> 00:16:29,622
was the way folks
think hard of us.

315
00:16:29,722 --> 00:16:31,391
I never understood it myself.

316
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:38,631
Look, I've known you
and your family
since I came here,

317
00:16:38,731 --> 00:16:43,603
from the day I filed
for the first piece of land
for my ranch.

318
00:16:43,703 --> 00:16:48,541
In all those years,
you proved to be the meanest,

319
00:16:48,641 --> 00:16:51,911
most vicious, and corrupt men
in the county,

320
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:54,114
committed crimes
both legal and moral,

321
00:16:54,214 --> 00:16:56,783
been in jail so many times
I couldn't begin to count them.

322
00:16:56,883 --> 00:17:00,920
The lawyer says you
could set away that verdict.

323
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:02,189
That how you say it?

324
00:17:02,289 --> 00:17:03,790
Set aside.

325
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:07,060
Yeah, set aside the verdict
because of...

326
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,295
prejudice.

327
00:17:09,329 --> 00:17:10,297
Prejudice?

328
00:17:10,397 --> 00:17:11,764
Yeah, he said it'd be legal.

329
00:17:11,864 --> 00:17:13,966
I mean, you could let Billy go.

330
00:17:14,167 --> 00:17:15,435
Well, it would be legal,

331
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:17,504
but in this case
there are no grounds.

332
00:17:17,604 --> 00:17:19,072
No grounds?

333
00:17:19,172 --> 00:17:22,175
Why, you just spoke
the grounds, Judge.

334
00:17:22,275 --> 00:17:24,477
Prejudice--
a sure true thing.

335
00:17:24,577 --> 00:17:26,679
Ain't nothin' but prejudice
about us in this county.

336
00:17:26,779 --> 00:17:28,081
I mean, can you deny that?

337
00:17:28,181 --> 00:17:31,184
I kept prejudice out
of your brother's trial.

338
00:17:31,284 --> 00:17:33,620
But it was there!
You couldn't stop it!

339
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,623
Now you got a chance
to do the right thing, Judge.

340
00:17:36,723 --> 00:17:38,057
That's all I want.

341
00:17:38,158 --> 00:17:42,662
Lennie here--he was all
for bustin' Billy right out.

342
00:17:42,762 --> 00:17:45,432
Lennie's not too bright.

343
00:17:45,532 --> 00:17:47,100
That's what I said!
That's what I told him!

344
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,837
I said,
"Suppose someone comes along
and busts Billy out.

345
00:17:50,937 --> 00:17:53,606
Then Billy's got to run
the rest of his life," Judge!

346
00:17:53,706 --> 00:17:56,609
On the other hand,
if you got a good reason--

347
00:17:56,709 --> 00:17:59,779
a good reason to get rid
of that verdict,

348
00:17:59,879 --> 00:18:03,116
then Billy goes off a free man!

349
00:18:04,751 --> 00:18:08,087
Now how 'bout it, Judge?

350
00:18:09,789 --> 00:18:11,324
Sentence will be passed
Monday morning.

351
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:12,659
If you wanna hear it,

352
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:14,794
I suggest you
make arrangements
to be there.

353
00:18:14,894 --> 00:18:16,796
Now you ain't hangin' Billy.
I'm tellin' ya.

354
00:18:18,265 --> 00:18:19,166
Get out.

355
00:18:19,266 --> 00:18:22,335
You got a daughter,
ain't ya, Judge?

356
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:25,104
Well now, you just better
watch what you do.

357
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,209
Ugh!

358
00:18:29,309 --> 00:18:31,311
Lennie! Lennie!
Lennie! Lennie!

359
00:18:32,812 --> 00:18:34,681
Sorry about that, Judge.

360
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:39,752
Lennie here--
he, uh, he didn't mean nothin'.

361
00:18:39,852 --> 00:18:42,822
I mean, he wasn't threatenin'.

362
00:18:42,922 --> 00:18:45,158
You just think it over.

363
00:18:45,258 --> 00:18:47,160
Get out.

364
00:18:47,260 --> 00:18:49,128
Sure, Judge.

365
00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:52,131
Sure.

366
00:19:14,521 --> 00:19:15,622
Oh, Burt.

367
00:19:18,191 --> 00:19:20,327
You like that, huh?

368
00:19:20,427 --> 00:19:23,763
I--I can't stay very long.

369
00:19:23,863 --> 00:19:27,534
Father will see Henry
and know I didn't go out
to the ranch.

370
00:19:27,634 --> 00:19:29,269
Whatever you say.

371
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:36,075
Burt...

372
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:38,345
we just can't go on
meeting like this.

373
00:19:38,445 --> 00:19:39,946
It's not right.

374
00:19:40,046 --> 00:19:42,249
You're the one
that wanted it this way.

375
00:19:42,349 --> 00:19:44,150
Doesn't make any difference
to me.

376
00:19:44,251 --> 00:19:46,253
When are you going to tell him?

377
00:19:47,487 --> 00:19:50,390
I tried, but I...

378
00:19:50,490 --> 00:19:52,792
I can't.

379
00:19:52,892 --> 00:19:54,627
You feeling sorry
for the judge?

380
00:19:54,727 --> 00:19:57,364
No, of course not.

381
00:19:58,798 --> 00:20:03,202
I can't imagine anybody
feeling sorry for Henry Garth.

382
00:20:05,338 --> 00:20:07,240
If you think so much
of him,

383
00:20:07,340 --> 00:20:09,342
what are you doing here
with me?

384
00:20:11,311 --> 00:20:13,079
Sometimes I wonder.

385
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,614
Now what does that mean?

386
00:20:17,650 --> 00:20:20,219
Burt, I don't know.
I don't know!

387
00:20:23,490 --> 00:20:25,558
I just know there's
something about you

388
00:20:25,658 --> 00:20:31,130
that makes me
lie awake at night
wanting you to be near me,

389
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:33,933
wanting you to touch me,
to love me.

390
00:20:35,435 --> 00:20:38,170
I don't feel that way
about him.

391
00:20:38,271 --> 00:20:40,273
But it's something else--

392
00:20:40,373 --> 00:20:45,177
there's a kind of fondness,
respect.

393
00:20:45,278 --> 00:20:48,781
I used to think
I was in love with him until...

394
00:20:51,418 --> 00:20:54,587
Maybe I still am,
in a way.

395
00:20:54,687 --> 00:20:58,425
( chuckles )
Believe me, honey,

396
00:20:58,525 --> 00:21:01,328
you're not in love
with anyone but me.

397
00:21:11,404 --> 00:21:13,940
So I asked him what
his decision was gonna be.

398
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,442
Well, what did he say?

399
00:21:15,542 --> 00:21:16,876
He's gonna hang him.

400
00:21:16,976 --> 00:21:18,378
Did he tell you that?

401
00:21:18,478 --> 00:21:20,947
No, not in so many words,
but that's what his meaning--

402
00:21:21,047 --> 00:21:23,450
( bell rings )

403
00:21:23,550 --> 00:21:25,818
Afternoon, Mr. Finley,
Mr. Mercer.

404
00:21:25,918 --> 00:21:28,287
Hello, Jake, Lennie.

405
00:21:28,388 --> 00:21:31,991
Well, I've gotta be going,
Howard.

406
00:21:32,091 --> 00:21:34,427
I've got inventory waiting
for me. You know how that is.

407
00:21:34,527 --> 00:21:35,428
I'll see you later.

408
00:21:35,528 --> 00:21:36,763
Mm-mm.

409
00:21:36,863 --> 00:21:38,064
Now see here...

410
00:21:38,164 --> 00:21:40,833
He means we'd be much obliged
if you'd stay.

411
00:21:40,933 --> 00:21:42,435
Well, you've got
no business with me.

412
00:21:42,535 --> 00:21:43,936
Yes, sir, we do.

413
00:21:44,036 --> 00:21:46,439
As a matter of fact,
we was up to your place
a while ago,

414
00:21:46,539 --> 00:21:50,009
just after talking to,
uh, Mr. Miller, Miller,
at the hardware store.

415
00:21:50,109 --> 00:21:52,579
We had nothing to do with
convicting your brother.

416
00:21:52,679 --> 00:21:55,815
There's no call for you
to come storming in here.

417
00:21:55,915 --> 00:21:57,417
( thud )

418
00:21:57,517 --> 00:22:00,387
Nobody's stormin',
Mr. Finley.

419
00:22:00,487 --> 00:22:05,892
You know and I know
Billy didn't get a fair shake
in this town.

420
00:22:05,992 --> 00:22:09,762
Now Lennie here--
he got all riled up
about that,

421
00:22:09,862 --> 00:22:13,800
and he was all for--
he wanted to bust up this town.

422
00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:16,703
He figured he
could set a few fires.

423
00:22:16,803 --> 00:22:19,338
Uh, two, three maybe,

424
00:22:19,439 --> 00:22:23,109
and he could
just burn this town
right down to the ground.

425
00:22:26,679 --> 00:22:28,581
But that would hurt
a lot of innocent people,

426
00:22:28,681 --> 00:22:30,383
and we wouldn't
wanna do that,

427
00:22:30,483 --> 00:22:32,919
so we talked
with Billy's lawyer,

428
00:22:33,019 --> 00:22:35,254
and he says the verdict
against little Billy

429
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:38,825
can be set aside
because of...

430
00:22:38,925 --> 00:22:41,127
Uh, pre--pre- jud- ice.

431
00:22:41,227 --> 00:22:42,595
( chuckles )
That's right,
that's right.

432
00:22:42,695 --> 00:22:45,832
Well, you'll have to talk
to Judge Garth about that.

433
00:22:45,932 --> 00:22:50,002
Already did, only he
don't sound cooperative,

434
00:22:50,102 --> 00:22:52,405
so I figure maybe some
of you folks around here

435
00:22:52,505 --> 00:22:54,941
could, uh,
give him some advice.

436
00:22:55,041 --> 00:22:56,308
He needs it.

437
00:22:56,409 --> 00:22:58,578
You tryin' to get us
to put pressure on the judge?

438
00:22:58,678 --> 00:23:01,380
No, sir. No, no, sir.

439
00:23:01,481 --> 00:23:02,682
Ain't that right, Lennie?

440
00:23:02,782 --> 00:23:03,983
Hmm?

441
00:23:04,083 --> 00:23:05,084
( crash )

442
00:23:05,184 --> 00:23:07,987
Doggone it, Lennie!
Look what you done!

443
00:23:08,087 --> 00:23:10,289
Well, I'm sure sorry
about that.

444
00:23:10,389 --> 00:23:13,693
I reckon I'm pretty jittery
worryin' about little Billy
gettin' hung and all.

445
00:23:13,793 --> 00:23:17,396
Well, you better watch out
what you do from now on.
You hear me?

446
00:23:17,497 --> 00:23:20,867
We're mighty sorry
about them lamps.

447
00:23:20,967 --> 00:23:23,903
You think two dollars
will cover the damage?

448
00:23:24,003 --> 00:23:24,937
( whispers )
Yes.

449
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:30,943
Speak up, Mr. Finley,
I can't hear ya.

450
00:23:31,043 --> 00:23:32,479
I said yes!

451
00:23:32,579 --> 00:23:33,713
It should cover it.

452
00:23:33,813 --> 00:23:35,114
Good, good!

453
00:23:35,214 --> 00:23:37,684
Well, it's been nice
visitin' with you boys,

454
00:23:37,784 --> 00:23:40,453
and I want you to know
ain't nothin' gonna happen
to this town

455
00:23:40,553 --> 00:23:44,390
because I think
the people around here
are fair-minded.

456
00:23:44,491 --> 00:23:49,629
I, uh, I asked Billy
straight out if he
killed old Morton,

457
00:23:49,729 --> 00:23:51,831
and he swore--
he swore he didn't.

458
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:53,466
Billy wouldn't lie to me.

459
00:23:53,566 --> 00:23:55,602
I mean, you know that.
You know that.

460
00:23:55,702 --> 00:23:59,939
I don't think the people
around here are gonna stand by

461
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:02,709
and let that judge
hang an innocent boy

462
00:24:02,809 --> 00:24:07,079
when he's got a legal
and right way out of it.

463
00:24:07,179 --> 00:24:09,482
I sure don't.

464
00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:14,621
Well, I better get you
out of here

465
00:24:14,721 --> 00:24:16,589
before you bust up
somethin' else.

466
00:24:26,265 --> 00:24:30,737
( laughs )
Doggone.

467
00:24:30,837 --> 00:24:33,105
Hmm.

468
00:24:37,143 --> 00:24:39,111
They can't get away with this.

469
00:24:39,211 --> 00:24:41,080
They did.

470
00:24:41,180 --> 00:24:43,783
Who's gonna stop them?

471
00:24:43,883 --> 00:24:45,151
( knock at door )

472
00:24:45,251 --> 00:24:46,786
Come in.

473
00:24:50,657 --> 00:24:53,059
Well, everything
seems quiet on the street.

474
00:24:53,159 --> 00:24:55,094
Is that right?

475
00:24:55,194 --> 00:24:57,096
Something happen?

476
00:24:57,196 --> 00:24:59,599
Some of the most important
citizens in this town

477
00:24:59,699 --> 00:25:02,401
have been visited
by the Carhew boys.

478
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:05,772
I want thos two arrested
and kept in jail
until Monday morning.

479
00:25:05,872 --> 00:25:07,574
On what charge?

480
00:25:07,674 --> 00:25:10,476
Threatening these people
and the court.

481
00:25:10,577 --> 00:25:12,645
All right,
I'll take care of it.

482
00:25:12,745 --> 00:25:14,480
I'll go with you.
You'll need help.

483
00:25:14,581 --> 00:25:16,716
Listen, Pop,
I'll tell you what to do.

484
00:25:16,816 --> 00:25:18,050
You're just a deputy.

485
00:25:18,150 --> 00:25:21,453
You better take some help,
Burt.

486
00:25:21,554 --> 00:25:23,823
I was elected sheriff
of this town.

487
00:25:23,923 --> 00:25:25,257
I wouldn't have run
for the job

488
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:27,193
if I didn't think
I could take care of it.

489
00:25:27,293 --> 00:25:30,029
There's only two of them.

490
00:25:30,129 --> 00:25:32,064
All right, bring them in.

491
00:25:36,402 --> 00:25:39,606
Well, Judge, I guess
I shouldn't have stayed on
as deputy.

492
00:25:39,706 --> 00:25:41,440
I get under his skin too easy.

493
00:25:41,641 --> 00:25:43,876
Ah, he'll get over it.

494
00:26:05,031 --> 00:26:06,198
Howdy there.

495
00:26:06,298 --> 00:26:08,200
You're blocking my way.

496
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:09,936
Appears that way, don't it?

497
00:26:10,036 --> 00:26:12,038
Maybe you don't remember me,
Carey.

498
00:26:12,138 --> 00:26:13,740
I couldn't very well forget ya.

499
00:26:15,241 --> 00:26:16,876
I hear my cousins are in town.

500
00:26:16,976 --> 00:26:19,612
They're camped in a grove
in back of the courthouse.

501
00:26:19,712 --> 00:26:22,682
You'll be doing them a favor
if you tell them to get out
of town

502
00:26:22,782 --> 00:26:25,184
'cause there's nothing
any of you can do.

503
00:26:25,284 --> 00:26:27,086
Much obliged.

504
00:26:27,186 --> 00:26:29,055
I'll look you up
before I leave.

505
00:26:36,295 --> 00:26:37,997
( horse whinnies )

506
00:26:50,376 --> 00:26:53,145
Jake and Lennie Carhew.

507
00:26:53,245 --> 00:26:56,015
You must be the new sheriff.

508
00:26:56,115 --> 00:26:59,285
We was mighty sorry
to hear about old Denton
gettin' whipped like that,

509
00:26:59,385 --> 00:27:02,021
but then he
was beginnin' to slow down.

510
00:27:02,121 --> 00:27:05,057
( chuckles )
I guess that wasn't good,
was it?

511
00:27:05,157 --> 00:27:06,158
What do you want?

512
00:27:06,258 --> 00:27:07,293
Takin' you in.

513
00:27:08,427 --> 00:27:10,529
Is that a fact?

514
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:12,598
You mind tellin' us what for?

515
00:27:12,699 --> 00:27:14,734
For threatening
the townspeople
and the court.

516
00:27:14,834 --> 00:27:17,303
So you just stand up
and keep your hands
where I can see them.

517
00:27:17,403 --> 00:27:19,371
Sheriff, you're all wrong.

518
00:27:19,471 --> 00:27:21,607
We never threatened nobody.

519
00:27:21,708 --> 00:27:23,910
Smith, the lawyer,
he said that was against
the law,

520
00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:26,645
so we was mighty careful
not to do that.

521
00:27:26,746 --> 00:27:28,781
The judge swore a complaint
against you,

522
00:27:28,881 --> 00:27:30,116
so I'm lockin' you up.

523
00:27:31,317 --> 00:27:32,952
You can tell your side
to the court.

524
00:27:33,052 --> 00:27:35,054
Boy, you barkin' up
the wrong tree.

525
00:27:36,723 --> 00:27:37,824
We, uh...

526
00:27:40,793 --> 00:27:43,662
We don't wanna fight you,
Sheriff.

527
00:27:44,764 --> 00:27:47,199
But then we let you lock us up,

528
00:27:47,299 --> 00:27:49,869
Billy's last chance
goes right out the window.

529
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:52,104
Unbuckle the gun belt.

530
00:27:52,204 --> 00:27:53,205
Let it drop.

531
00:28:06,418 --> 00:28:07,419
Ugh!

532
00:28:16,162 --> 00:28:17,163
Ugh.

533
00:28:18,364 --> 00:28:20,499
Glad to see you could make it,
Cousin Harv.

534
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:21,734
I wouldn't miss it.

535
00:28:21,834 --> 00:28:24,403
I figure I owe this town
somethin'.

536
00:28:24,503 --> 00:28:27,173
Yeah, well, you're
gonna get your chance.

537
00:28:32,144 --> 00:28:35,514
Can you hear me, Sheriff?
Can you hear me?

538
00:28:35,714 --> 00:28:37,784
Yeah. Yeah.

539
00:28:37,884 --> 00:28:41,821
All right,
you listen close.

540
00:28:41,921 --> 00:28:47,359
I aim to have Billy
out of that jail,
free and clear.

541
00:28:47,459 --> 00:28:50,830
The judge is gonna set away
that verdict.

542
00:28:50,930 --> 00:28:52,799
You understand?

543
00:28:52,899 --> 00:28:55,234
I said, do you understand?!

544
00:28:55,334 --> 00:28:58,437
Yeah. Yes.

545
00:28:58,537 --> 00:29:01,373
You tell everybody what I said.

546
00:29:11,117 --> 00:29:12,919
We got some stew on the fire.

547
00:29:13,019 --> 00:29:14,186
You hungry?

548
00:29:14,286 --> 00:29:16,989
Ain't I always hungry,
Cousin Jake?

549
00:29:21,027 --> 00:29:22,028
Ugh.

550
00:29:44,851 --> 00:29:46,052
A bit more coffee, Judge?

551
00:29:46,152 --> 00:29:47,186
Yeah, please.

552
00:29:50,522 --> 00:29:52,024
There you are.

553
00:29:53,425 --> 00:29:57,096
Say, isn't that Wilkie Carhew
and his boy?

554
00:30:02,134 --> 00:30:03,569
Looks like them.

555
00:30:03,669 --> 00:30:05,604
Well, I say something
ought to be done about them

556
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:07,239
before they start anything.

557
00:30:07,339 --> 00:30:08,574
Something's being done.

558
00:30:08,807 --> 00:30:09,976
Good.

559
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,714
Oh, sit down.
Have some coffee.

560
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:17,884
No coffee.
Thanks, Judge.

561
00:30:17,984 --> 00:30:20,452
I ran into Clyde Carey
on the street.

562
00:30:20,552 --> 00:30:21,988
They're havin' a meeting
over at his place.

563
00:30:22,088 --> 00:30:23,222
I'd like for you
to be there.

564
00:30:23,322 --> 00:30:25,191
I'll drop in later.

565
00:30:25,291 --> 00:30:29,095
Now, Henry, we've been friends
for a long time.

566
00:30:29,195 --> 00:30:31,797
I've never given you
a bad steer, have I?

567
00:30:31,898 --> 00:30:33,799
( chuckles )
Only once.

568
00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:35,935
You were one of those
who talked me into leaving
the ranch

569
00:30:36,035 --> 00:30:37,003
and running for judge.

570
00:30:37,103 --> 00:30:39,305
Best thing ever happened
to this county.

571
00:30:40,539 --> 00:30:42,141
Well, anyhow,

572
00:30:42,241 --> 00:30:45,177
I don't like
to push my nose in
where it's not wanted,

573
00:30:45,277 --> 00:30:47,579
but, um...

574
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,081
What are you getting at, Joe?

575
00:30:49,181 --> 00:30:52,384
Oh, I don't know.
Nothin' maybe.

576
00:30:52,484 --> 00:30:55,154
I better get back down
to the jail.

577
00:30:58,057 --> 00:30:59,258
( door closes )

578
00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:05,597
( drops change )

579
00:31:24,150 --> 00:31:25,417
Judge.

580
00:31:25,517 --> 00:31:27,186
Glad you
could make it, Judge.

581
00:31:30,356 --> 00:31:31,557
Why all the secrecy?

582
00:31:31,657 --> 00:31:33,225
Purely precautionary.

583
00:31:33,325 --> 00:31:34,793
We don't wanna be interrupted.

584
00:31:34,893 --> 00:31:38,630
There are five of them now,
Henry. Did you know that?

585
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:40,432
Yes.

586
00:31:40,532 --> 00:31:42,368
Jake and Lennie
came into my livery stable.

587
00:31:42,468 --> 00:31:44,903
They kept dropping
lighted matches around.

588
00:31:45,004 --> 00:31:47,906
It was terrible!
We have to do something!

589
00:31:48,007 --> 00:31:50,943
I left instructions
with the sheriff
to arrest them.

590
00:31:51,043 --> 00:31:52,878
If any of the other Carhews
make threats,

591
00:31:52,979 --> 00:31:54,080
they'll be arrested too.

592
00:31:54,180 --> 00:31:56,548
It doesn't seem
that simple to me, Judge.

593
00:31:56,648 --> 00:31:58,550
I mean, you can't keep them
locked up forever.

594
00:31:58,650 --> 00:32:02,288
He's right.
If Billy Carhew hangs,
when they get out--

595
00:32:02,388 --> 00:32:05,324
They try anything
after they're released,
they'll be jailed again.

596
00:32:05,424 --> 00:32:07,193
How many of us
will be dead by then?

597
00:32:07,293 --> 00:32:09,996
This isn't the first murder
that one of the Carhews
has committed.

598
00:32:10,096 --> 00:32:12,464
It's just the first one
that anyone's been able
to prove.

599
00:32:12,564 --> 00:32:15,467
There won't be one of us
or our wives or kids
that'll be safe.

600
00:32:15,567 --> 00:32:17,436
You know the kind
of men they are, Judge.

601
00:32:21,073 --> 00:32:22,541
Yes, I know.

602
00:32:22,641 --> 00:32:25,077
Judge, we've been talking
something over.

603
00:32:25,177 --> 00:32:27,213
When Jake and Lennie
came to see me,

604
00:32:27,313 --> 00:32:31,283
they said that you
didn't have to hang Billy,
in spite of the jury's verdict.

605
00:32:31,383 --> 00:32:33,352
Their lawyer told them that.

606
00:32:33,452 --> 00:32:34,386
Yes.

607
00:32:34,486 --> 00:32:36,055
Well, we wanna know
if it's legal.

608
00:32:39,091 --> 00:32:43,262
Well, if prejudice
prevented Billy Carhew
from getting a fair trial,

609
00:32:43,362 --> 00:32:45,998
yes, the verdict
could be set aside.

610
00:32:46,098 --> 00:32:50,136
Well, as much as I hate
to admit it, they do have
a point about prejudice.

611
00:32:50,236 --> 00:32:53,105
The Carhew's have always
been treated like dirt
around here.

612
00:32:53,205 --> 00:32:55,874
If a crime was committed
within 100 miles of here,

613
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:58,610
they were accused of it,
and sometimes quite unjustly.

614
00:33:00,612 --> 00:33:03,182
Now I wasn't on that jury,

615
00:33:03,282 --> 00:33:06,718
but I'd say that you couldn't
pick a jury from this town

616
00:33:06,818 --> 00:33:09,021
that wouldn't be prejudiced
against the Carhews.

617
00:33:09,121 --> 00:33:12,191
Ask Williams there.
He had his troubles
with the Carhews.

618
00:33:12,291 --> 00:33:16,028
He was on the jury.
He was ready to believe
that Billy killed Morton

619
00:33:16,128 --> 00:33:17,929
before he even sat down
in the jury box.

620
00:33:18,030 --> 00:33:20,732
That's right, Judge.
The rest of the jury
felt the same way.

621
00:33:23,369 --> 00:33:25,537
You're asking me
to set aside the verdict.

622
00:33:25,637 --> 00:33:28,074
We just want you
to have the facts.

623
00:33:28,174 --> 00:33:32,644
They're irresponsible,
vicious, cold-blooded scum

624
00:33:32,744 --> 00:33:37,083
capable of practically
anything...

625
00:33:37,183 --> 00:33:40,552
but I personally don't think
it's worth the risk

626
00:33:40,652 --> 00:33:42,521
just to see one of them hang.

627
00:33:43,889 --> 00:33:46,425
There is only
one question here--

628
00:33:46,525 --> 00:33:48,460
did he get a fair trial?

629
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,795
We think not.

630
00:33:53,665 --> 00:33:56,135
The evidence
would have led inevitably

631
00:33:56,235 --> 00:33:59,605
to the same conclusion
in any court in this territory.

632
00:33:59,705 --> 00:34:02,374
You have admission
of prejudice--Williams.

633
00:34:02,474 --> 00:34:05,711
But a jury
rendered its verdict.

634
00:34:05,811 --> 00:34:10,015
The fact that Williams
has been scared out of his wits
since then

635
00:34:10,116 --> 00:34:12,050
doesn't add up to prejudice
in my book.

636
00:34:12,151 --> 00:34:14,019
Oh, be reasonable, Judge.

637
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,622
This is an unusual situation
for all of us.

638
00:34:16,722 --> 00:34:20,759
Every cent I own
is tied up in this town,
and I have four children.

639
00:34:20,859 --> 00:34:23,462
I don't want them caught up
in something like this.

640
00:34:24,696 --> 00:34:26,132
Nor do I.

641
00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:32,638
But, gentlemen,
only if our laws are respected

642
00:34:32,738 --> 00:34:35,641
can our families and our town
be safe.

643
00:34:35,741 --> 00:34:38,510
If we don't enforce the laws,
there'll be no town!

644
00:34:38,610 --> 00:34:42,214
Only a jungle, where animals
like the Carhews run wild.

645
00:34:42,314 --> 00:34:44,350
Then you're going
to hang Billy Carhew

646
00:34:44,450 --> 00:34:47,319
and the devil with us,
the town, and our children.

647
00:34:50,156 --> 00:34:52,558
Sentence will be passed
10:00 Monday morning.

648
00:34:52,658 --> 00:34:55,161
Now if you'd be good enough
to unlock the door.

649
00:34:59,598 --> 00:35:01,633
Burt's at the doc's.
I come to get ya.

650
00:35:01,733 --> 00:35:02,668
What happened?

651
00:35:02,768 --> 00:35:05,637
The Carhews--
they beat him up bad.

652
00:35:11,777 --> 00:35:13,612
He was a fool
to try it alone.

653
00:35:13,712 --> 00:35:15,681
Everybody's gotta learn
for himself.

654
00:35:15,781 --> 00:35:17,149
How'd the meeting go?

655
00:35:17,249 --> 00:35:19,285
Well, I've been thinkin'
of something for a long time.

656
00:35:19,385 --> 00:35:20,586
They made up my mind.

657
00:35:20,686 --> 00:35:22,354
They made up your mind?

658
00:35:22,454 --> 00:35:25,357
After this case is over,
I'm resigning from the bench.

659
00:35:25,457 --> 00:35:27,159
I don't like to hear that.

660
00:35:27,259 --> 00:35:29,428
Would you figure
to go out to Shiloh
and ranch?

661
00:35:29,528 --> 00:35:32,063
Well, there are too many things
I've been putting off.

662
00:35:32,164 --> 00:35:35,066
I wanna build up that ranch.
I want a real home for Betsy.

663
00:35:35,267 --> 00:35:36,535
I'm gonna get married.

664
00:35:36,635 --> 00:35:39,605
You really mean that,
don't you?
Uh-huh.

665
00:35:39,705 --> 00:35:41,740
Hold on, Henry.

666
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,510
As far as you're quittin'
as judge is concerned,

667
00:35:44,610 --> 00:35:46,111
I reckon you got good reason,

668
00:35:46,212 --> 00:35:49,114
but before you get all set up
on gettin' married,

669
00:35:49,215 --> 00:35:50,416
there's something
I gotta tell you.

670
00:35:50,516 --> 00:35:52,751
It ain't easy.

671
00:35:52,851 --> 00:35:55,187
It's about Alice and Burt.

672
00:35:55,287 --> 00:35:57,523
They've been seein' each other
behind your back.

673
00:35:58,524 --> 00:36:00,459
Joe.

674
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:02,928
What would make you
say a thing like that?

675
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:05,431
I seen them.

676
00:36:05,531 --> 00:36:06,932
Now don't think
I'm sayin' this

677
00:36:07,032 --> 00:36:09,167
to get back at Burt
for takin' my job.

678
00:36:09,268 --> 00:36:10,936
I know you better than that.

679
00:36:11,036 --> 00:36:14,440
No mistake, Judge.
I faced Burt with it.
He admitted it.

680
00:36:14,540 --> 00:36:15,774
Laughed about it.

681
00:36:17,776 --> 00:36:19,110
I'm sorry, Henry.

682
00:36:19,211 --> 00:36:21,247
Now I won't go over with you
to see Burt.

683
00:36:21,347 --> 00:36:23,815
I better get back to the jail
and look after my prisoner.

684
00:36:41,467 --> 00:36:44,470
Henry! Henry!

685
00:36:53,279 --> 00:36:54,780
Thought you were going home.

686
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,216
But I came back.
I have to talk to you today.

687
00:36:59,651 --> 00:37:01,287
What's wrong, Henry?

688
00:37:04,590 --> 00:37:07,859
I don't know,
could be a great deal.

689
00:37:07,959 --> 00:37:08,994
Do you love him?

690
00:37:09,094 --> 00:37:11,663
I wanted to tell you
before anybody else did,

691
00:37:11,763 --> 00:37:13,832
but I couldn't.

692
00:37:13,932 --> 00:37:16,302
You better come inside.
He's hurt.

693
00:37:32,351 --> 00:37:33,752
How bad is he?

694
00:37:33,852 --> 00:37:36,955
Oh, nothing broken.
He was lucky.

695
00:37:37,055 --> 00:37:38,924
Bad bruises and cuts.

696
00:37:39,024 --> 00:37:40,659
What happened?

697
00:37:40,759 --> 00:37:43,862
The Carhews jumped me.
Three of them.

698
00:37:43,962 --> 00:37:45,731
Shouldn't have tried it
alone.

699
00:37:45,831 --> 00:37:47,499
Is he in shape
to do his job?

700
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:48,900
Oh, sure.

701
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,670
He'll have some
aches and pains,
but he's all right.

702
00:37:51,770 --> 00:37:53,204
You better
get hold of Denton

703
00:37:53,305 --> 00:37:55,341
and deputize some more men
before you go back out there.

704
00:37:55,441 --> 00:37:56,842
I'll go with you.

705
00:37:56,942 --> 00:38:00,879
Broke a piece off my tooth
feels like.

706
00:38:06,284 --> 00:38:07,819
Yeah.

707
00:38:07,919 --> 00:38:10,522
You know there are
five of them in town now.

708
00:38:10,622 --> 00:38:12,391
You can use all the men
you can get.

709
00:38:12,491 --> 00:38:15,994
I want all the Carhews in jail
before Monday morning.

710
00:38:16,094 --> 00:38:18,397
Don't go orderin' me around,
Judge.

711
00:38:18,497 --> 00:38:20,566
That's exactly what I'm doing!

712
00:38:21,933 --> 00:38:24,503
You don't have too much time
to waste.

713
00:38:24,603 --> 00:38:28,206
Well, I'll take as much time
as I figure I need.

714
00:38:28,306 --> 00:38:31,743
Matter of fact,
as far as the Carhews
are concerned,

715
00:38:31,843 --> 00:38:33,479
I've had my fill of them.

716
00:38:33,579 --> 00:38:35,814
Had your fill?

717
00:38:35,914 --> 00:38:37,983
I'm not takin'
those boys on again.

718
00:38:42,988 --> 00:38:46,358
Just what kind of a law officer
are you, anyway?

719
00:38:46,458 --> 00:38:48,627
Judge,
I'll be honest with you.

720
00:38:48,727 --> 00:38:52,598
When I first ran for sheriff,
this seemed like a nice
peaceable town.

721
00:38:52,698 --> 00:38:56,902
All a sheriff had to do
was lock up the drunks
on Saturday night

722
00:38:57,002 --> 00:38:58,504
and turn them loose
in the morning.

723
00:38:58,604 --> 00:39:01,239
Seemed like a good way
to make a living.

724
00:39:01,339 --> 00:39:03,609
Now if I'd wanted more
than that,

725
00:39:03,709 --> 00:39:07,379
there's plenty of towns
like Tombstone and Leadville

726
00:39:07,479 --> 00:39:09,280
where the sheriffs
make more money,

727
00:39:09,381 --> 00:39:11,049
but they don't live as long.

728
00:39:11,149 --> 00:39:14,252
Me--I live being alive.

729
00:39:14,352 --> 00:39:17,556
But, Burt,
somebody's got to arrest
those men.

730
00:39:17,656 --> 00:39:19,190
Well, then let somebody
arrest them.

731
00:39:19,391 --> 00:39:20,258
Not Burt Adams.

732
00:39:20,492 --> 00:39:22,027
You know, Judge...

733
00:39:22,127 --> 00:39:26,532
seein' this badge is enough
to tame down most people,

734
00:39:26,632 --> 00:39:29,868
but the Carhews
act like they don't
even know what it means.

735
00:39:29,968 --> 00:39:33,572
Well, I'm not going to get
killed tryin' to teach them.

736
00:39:33,672 --> 00:39:35,741
Judge, the way I look at it,

737
00:39:35,841 --> 00:39:38,777
the Carhews
are this town's problem,
not mine.

738
00:39:38,877 --> 00:39:42,581
Now why should I
get killed because the Carhews
hate this town?

739
00:39:42,681 --> 00:39:44,550
I didn't make them hate it.

740
00:39:46,017 --> 00:39:50,856
So I think you
better get yourself
somebody else.

741
00:39:55,527 --> 00:39:58,697
You may be a spineless
two-bit Lothario,

742
00:39:58,797 --> 00:40:01,399
but you're still sheriff
of this town,

743
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:03,034
and I'll see that you
act like it!

744
00:40:03,134 --> 00:40:04,135
Stop it!

745
00:40:08,874 --> 00:40:10,075
You told him?

746
00:40:13,545 --> 00:40:15,981
Somebody else told him.
Denton?

747
00:40:16,081 --> 00:40:17,916
No hard feelings, Judge.

748
00:40:20,218 --> 00:40:21,687
( door closes )

749
00:40:23,555 --> 00:40:25,491
Now don't feel bad
about it, honey.

750
00:40:25,591 --> 00:40:27,092
It's nobody's fault.

751
00:40:30,829 --> 00:40:34,633
The best thing for both of us
is to get out of this town.

752
00:40:34,733 --> 00:40:38,537
You go home, tell your dad,
pack your things,

753
00:40:38,637 --> 00:40:41,006
and we'll catch
that midnight train
to Cheyenne.

754
00:40:44,109 --> 00:40:45,644
Come in, Henry.

755
00:40:47,879 --> 00:40:49,347
( sighs )

756
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:54,653
Well, it seems
our popular young sheriff
doesn't like his job.

757
00:40:56,454 --> 00:40:58,557
Left us behind in his retreat.

758
00:41:02,193 --> 00:41:05,731
I won't blame ya
if you turn it down.

759
00:41:05,831 --> 00:41:08,033
I won't turn it down.

760
00:41:08,133 --> 00:41:10,836
Little piece of tin
worth maybe four bits

761
00:41:10,936 --> 00:41:13,138
means more to me
than anything in my whole life.

762
00:41:13,238 --> 00:41:15,607
You know, when they
turned me out of office

763
00:41:15,707 --> 00:41:19,377
and I had to give this badge
to another man, I...

764
00:41:19,611 --> 00:41:21,580
( chuckles )

765
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:22,948
I know what you mean.

766
00:41:25,083 --> 00:41:28,053
Well, I'm in business now.
How do you wanna work it?

767
00:41:28,153 --> 00:41:31,623
I want to jail the Carhews.

768
00:41:31,723 --> 00:41:32,624
All of them?

769
00:41:32,724 --> 00:41:33,625
All of them.

770
00:41:33,725 --> 00:41:36,161
Where do you keep
your deputy badges?

771
00:41:36,261 --> 00:41:37,563
How many do you need?

772
00:41:37,663 --> 00:41:39,931
Six ought to do.

773
00:41:43,569 --> 00:41:44,770
Thanks.

774
00:41:44,870 --> 00:41:46,938
Now look, Henry,

775
00:41:47,038 --> 00:41:49,107
you ain't gonna
be doin' anything

776
00:41:49,207 --> 00:41:50,609
without lettin' me in on it.

777
00:41:50,709 --> 00:41:52,410
I may not be so fast anymore,

778
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:54,445
but I'm just as sure
as I always was.

779
00:41:54,546 --> 00:41:56,481
I wouldn't think
of keepin' you out of it.

780
00:41:56,582 --> 00:41:58,817
I'll get enough men
to back us up
and bring them here.

781
00:41:58,917 --> 00:42:00,786
You get ready
to swear them in.

782
00:42:02,588 --> 00:42:04,656
You wanna swear me in
as a deputy?

783
00:42:04,756 --> 00:42:06,424
That's exactly
what I want.

784
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:09,561
Well, I'm no coward, Judge.
You know that.

785
00:42:09,661 --> 00:42:12,297
But I'm a logical man,
and I ask myself--

786
00:42:12,397 --> 00:42:14,532
what good will it do
to put them in jail?

787
00:42:14,633 --> 00:42:16,134
If you don't know the answer
to that question--

788
00:42:16,234 --> 00:42:17,736
I know the answer
to that question.

789
00:42:17,836 --> 00:42:20,672
It keeps them from interfering
when you pass judgment.

790
00:42:21,940 --> 00:42:23,909
But take it
a little further, Judge.

791
00:42:24,009 --> 00:42:26,745
What happens when they
get out of jail?

792
00:42:26,845 --> 00:42:29,447
Look, I need your help.

793
00:42:29,648 --> 00:42:31,683
Now do I get it or not?

794
00:42:35,353 --> 00:42:37,656
Well, I'd really like
to accommodate you, Judge.

795
00:42:37,756 --> 00:42:39,891
I'm not asking you
to accommodate me.

796
00:42:39,991 --> 00:42:41,827
I can go with you
if there's any way

797
00:42:41,927 --> 00:42:43,595
you can guarantee
that's the end of it.

798
00:42:43,695 --> 00:42:46,264
All we can do is try.
There are no guarantees.

799
00:42:46,364 --> 00:42:49,067
That's all those Carhews need--

800
00:42:49,167 --> 00:42:51,102
to see me out there
with the rest of you.

801
00:42:51,202 --> 00:42:53,939
My hotel's too vulnerable.
That's the long and short of it.

802
00:42:55,373 --> 00:42:56,775
Then your answer is no.

803
00:42:56,875 --> 00:42:58,543
You'll have to excuse me,
Judge.

804
00:42:58,644 --> 00:43:00,812
I left Ferris on the desk,
and you know how he is.

805
00:43:12,057 --> 00:43:13,291
Harlowe!

806
00:43:18,363 --> 00:43:19,798
Now don't ask me, Judge.

807
00:43:19,898 --> 00:43:21,933
I don't wanna have
to turn you down.

808
00:43:22,033 --> 00:43:25,536
You know what they'll do
if they're allowed to get away
with this bluff.

809
00:43:25,637 --> 00:43:27,806
Well, they just wanna
get Billy out of jail,
that's all,

810
00:43:27,906 --> 00:43:30,241
and once they do,
I figure that'll be
the end of it.

811
00:43:30,341 --> 00:43:32,277
You're as blind as the rest.

812
00:43:32,377 --> 00:43:35,781
I'm willin' to face up
to anyone in a fair fight,
and you know that,

813
00:43:35,881 --> 00:43:38,516
but them Carhews
are back shooters.

814
00:43:38,616 --> 00:43:41,119
Sure, we could arrest them all
and throw them in jail,

815
00:43:41,219 --> 00:43:42,888
but they'll be
gettin' out one day.

816
00:43:42,988 --> 00:43:45,891
That's what everybody's sayin'.
You can't jail them forever.

817
00:43:45,991 --> 00:43:49,627
Yeah, that's what
everybody's sayin'.

818
00:43:49,728 --> 00:43:51,562
I got troubles enough
ridin' night herd

819
00:43:51,663 --> 00:43:54,032
without expectin'
a shot in the back any time.

820
00:43:54,132 --> 00:43:55,533
That's just what I'd get.

821
00:43:55,633 --> 00:43:57,936
Judge, you can't blame
the town in this.

822
00:43:58,036 --> 00:43:59,204
They're all good folks.

823
00:43:59,304 --> 00:44:02,173
Just some things
you can't ask people to do.

824
00:44:03,975 --> 00:44:06,011
Then God help you, Harlowe.

825
00:44:07,212 --> 00:44:09,715
God help this town.

826
00:44:22,260 --> 00:44:24,295
But I don't wanna go!

827
00:44:24,395 --> 00:44:27,665
I thought you liked staying
with Mrs. McCleary's sister.

828
00:44:27,766 --> 00:44:31,169
And you know, I hear they
have a new colt on the farm
just waiting to meet you.

829
00:44:31,269 --> 00:44:34,205
But I don't wanna meet him.
Let me stay with you, Daddy.

830
00:44:34,305 --> 00:44:35,373
Come on, dear.

831
00:44:36,674 --> 00:44:38,109
Please, Daddy.

832
00:44:39,778 --> 00:44:42,047
Now I'm gonna make you
a promise, honey.

833
00:44:42,147 --> 00:44:43,448
You know what a promise is?

834
00:44:43,681 --> 00:44:45,583
Of course.

835
00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:50,789
Well, I promise you
this is the last time
I'm ever gonna send you away.

836
00:44:50,889 --> 00:44:54,325
Oh, we'll build
a great big house at Shiloh.

837
00:44:54,425 --> 00:44:56,828
You'll have a pony
all your own.

838
00:44:57,996 --> 00:45:00,165
And I'll
never leave you again.

839
00:45:00,265 --> 00:45:02,467
Cross your heart?

840
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:04,803
Cross my heart.

841
00:45:07,472 --> 00:45:10,241
I do thank you
for what you're doing,
Mrs. McCleary.

842
00:45:10,341 --> 00:45:13,411
I'm glad to help
in any way I can.
You know that.

843
00:45:13,511 --> 00:45:16,948
Well, I'd like you
to keep her at your sister's
until I can come after her.

844
00:45:17,048 --> 00:45:20,618
Oh, that'll be Tuesday late
or Wednesday morning.

845
00:45:20,718 --> 00:45:24,289
Don't you worry about her.
I'll take good care of her.

846
00:45:24,389 --> 00:45:26,992
And God bless you, Judge.

847
00:45:27,092 --> 00:45:29,194
Thank you.
Bye, honey.

848
00:45:29,294 --> 00:45:31,863
Good-bye, Daddy,
and remember
what you promised.

849
00:45:31,963 --> 00:45:32,998
Oh, I won't forget.

850
00:45:33,098 --> 00:45:34,099
Giddup.

851
00:45:43,341 --> 00:45:45,010
Morning there, Judge.

852
00:45:45,110 --> 00:45:46,244
Morning.

853
00:45:46,344 --> 00:45:48,513
I see you're sending Betsy
out of town.

854
00:45:48,613 --> 00:45:51,216
Makes good sense to take
every precaution and all,

855
00:45:51,316 --> 00:45:53,651
but I don't think
it'll be necessary.

856
00:45:53,751 --> 00:45:57,522
Oh, and how did you
arrive at that conclusion,
Mr. Mercer?

857
00:45:57,622 --> 00:46:00,291
The town council
held another meeting
last night.

858
00:46:00,391 --> 00:46:03,428
They asked me
to give you these.

859
00:46:03,528 --> 00:46:05,096
There's one missing.

860
00:46:05,196 --> 00:46:07,765
Roscoe Overmeir--
he's out of town,

861
00:46:07,866 --> 00:46:09,901
but I believe
he'll be of the same opinion.

862
00:46:11,436 --> 00:46:12,437
Affidavits.

863
00:46:12,537 --> 00:46:13,504
Yes.

864
00:46:13,604 --> 00:46:15,673
From 11 members of the jury,

865
00:46:15,773 --> 00:46:17,943
admitting prejudice
against Billy Carhew.

866
00:46:18,043 --> 00:46:20,078
Now that you have proof,

867
00:46:20,178 --> 00:46:22,180
well, we can't see any reason

868
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,015
why you shouldn't set
that verdict aside.

869
00:46:24,115 --> 00:46:26,952
You can't see any reason?

870
00:46:27,052 --> 00:46:31,156
What about threatening jurors
till they're scared witless?

871
00:46:31,256 --> 00:46:32,858
That reason enough for you?

872
00:46:32,958 --> 00:46:35,193
I've got work to do
at the courthouse.

873
00:46:38,263 --> 00:46:41,266
Now, Judge, the whole town
likes you and respects you,

874
00:46:41,366 --> 00:46:43,334
but we feel we're right
about this.

875
00:46:43,434 --> 00:46:44,870
If you go against us,

876
00:46:44,970 --> 00:46:46,704
we intend to circulate
a recall petition

877
00:46:46,804 --> 00:46:48,006
to have you
removed from office.

878
00:46:48,106 --> 00:46:49,807
For your information,
Mr. Mercer,

879
00:46:49,908 --> 00:46:51,242
a judge isn't elected
to reflect

880
00:46:51,342 --> 00:46:53,578
the whimsical opinions
of the people who voted
for him.

881
00:46:53,678 --> 00:46:55,213
I was elected
to interpret the law,

882
00:46:55,313 --> 00:46:57,315
and that's exactly
what I intend to do!

883
00:46:57,415 --> 00:47:00,085
If you wanna recall me,
you better get started,

884
00:47:00,185 --> 00:47:02,553
but I tell you nothing--
absolutely nothing's

885
00:47:02,653 --> 00:47:05,023
gonna stop me
from convening court
in the morning.

886
00:47:05,123 --> 00:47:06,958
We'll put you out of office.
We mean that, Judge.

887
00:47:07,058 --> 00:47:08,426
Go right ahead...

888
00:47:08,526 --> 00:47:11,897
but you can't do it
before tomorrow morning,

889
00:47:11,997 --> 00:47:16,968
and after that,
Mr. Mercer,

890
00:47:17,068 --> 00:47:18,970
I'm resigning anyway.

891
00:47:23,174 --> 00:47:25,143
( gunshots )

892
00:47:43,861 --> 00:47:45,863
Let me have a try
at that thing.

893
00:47:47,132 --> 00:47:48,133
( gun cocks )

894
00:47:50,468 --> 00:47:52,938
( gunshots )

895
00:48:23,201 --> 00:48:26,304
I was just on my way home
from church.

896
00:48:28,039 --> 00:48:30,508
I knew I had to see you.

897
00:48:30,608 --> 00:48:33,078
I had to talk to you about--

898
00:48:33,178 --> 00:48:34,812
There's nothing to talk about.

899
00:48:34,912 --> 00:48:37,648
Please, Henry,
I have to talk to you.

900
00:48:37,748 --> 00:48:41,119
Last night,
Burt asked me to leave town
with him.

901
00:48:42,687 --> 00:48:45,090
I even went down
to the depot.

902
00:48:47,058 --> 00:48:49,227
I don't know why.

903
00:48:49,327 --> 00:48:52,463
I knew even then
I wouldn't leave with him.

904
00:48:52,563 --> 00:48:54,565
You don't have to explain
to me, Alice.

905
00:48:54,665 --> 00:48:57,202
Can you understand
why it happened?

906
00:48:58,369 --> 00:49:00,338
No.

907
00:49:00,438 --> 00:49:03,975
I suppose it's too much
even for you to understand,

908
00:49:04,075 --> 00:49:07,145
but I do now.

909
00:49:07,245 --> 00:49:10,715
I thought out a lot of things
last night, Henry.

910
00:49:10,815 --> 00:49:13,551
I had plenty of time,
I couldn't sleep.

911
00:49:13,651 --> 00:49:17,888
A month ago...
that was when you
were in Cheyenne.

912
00:49:17,989 --> 00:49:21,492
I danced with Burt
at a party.

913
00:49:21,592 --> 00:49:23,394
He took me home.

914
00:49:25,296 --> 00:49:30,368
He was just like a hero
in a novel.

915
00:49:30,468 --> 00:49:35,306
He was handsome,
gallant, and witty.

916
00:49:35,406 --> 00:49:38,076
Terribly romantic.

917
00:49:41,212 --> 00:49:44,049
He made me feel
like a schoolgirl.

918
00:49:46,051 --> 00:49:49,487
Well, I decided that night
I must be desperately in love
with him.

919
00:49:49,587 --> 00:49:52,123
I might have understood
if you told me then.

920
00:49:52,223 --> 00:49:53,891
I couldn't.

921
00:49:53,991 --> 00:49:55,893
There was something
that stopped me,

922
00:49:55,993 --> 00:49:58,396
and I didn't know what it was.

923
00:50:00,031 --> 00:50:03,234
You see, Henry,
you and I--

924
00:50:03,334 --> 00:50:06,237
our love...

925
00:50:06,337 --> 00:50:10,608
well, it wasn't like
the kind of love that I
read about in books.

926
00:50:10,708 --> 00:50:13,044
It was different.

927
00:50:13,144 --> 00:50:18,749
It was quiet and warm
and comfortable.

928
00:50:20,251 --> 00:50:22,620
I realized last night

929
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:25,990
that I'd been raised
like every other girl

930
00:50:26,091 --> 00:50:29,494
and thought the way
I was taught to think.

931
00:50:29,594 --> 00:50:34,832
I had learned to look
for certain qualities
in the man I'd marry.

932
00:50:34,932 --> 00:50:39,504
He would be dashing
and charming and romantic,

933
00:50:39,604 --> 00:50:41,706
and he'd sweep me
off my feet.

934
00:50:44,709 --> 00:50:51,282
Then I...
I learned that all of that
was meaningless.

935
00:50:53,050 --> 00:50:55,086
Burt showed me that.

936
00:50:57,122 --> 00:51:01,559
Oh, he--
he was all those things.

937
00:51:01,659 --> 00:51:04,495
I made the mistake
of thinking I was in love
with him.

938
00:51:06,097 --> 00:51:10,135
I didn't even seem him
as he really was
until yesterday...

939
00:51:11,902 --> 00:51:14,605
when I saw
he wasn't even a man.

940
00:51:17,875 --> 00:51:23,648
Then I knew...
why I had not been able
to tell you.

941
00:51:26,551 --> 00:51:29,754
Because I love you
as I can never love
another man.

942
00:51:30,921 --> 00:51:34,259
Our love
is not like the love

943
00:51:34,359 --> 00:51:36,361
that you read
in a cheap novel.

944
00:51:36,461 --> 00:51:42,367
It is quiet, comfortable,

945
00:51:42,467 --> 00:51:48,573
but it's true and very deep.

946
00:51:50,241 --> 00:51:55,146
I...
I just wanted you
to understand,

947
00:51:55,246 --> 00:52:00,285
and I don't expect you
to forgive me.

948
00:52:02,387 --> 00:52:03,421
( chuckles )

949
00:52:05,723 --> 00:52:11,196
You know, Henry,
it could have worked out
very well for both of us.

950
00:52:12,897 --> 00:52:17,668
I mean, I have
all the qualifications
for a perfect wife for you.

951
00:52:17,768 --> 00:52:23,174
I come from a good family,
and I'm of sound mind and body.

952
00:52:23,274 --> 00:52:28,613
I know how to make
social conversation with people
to make them feel important.

953
00:52:28,713 --> 00:52:31,649
Well, I can even serve
a formal dinner for 12

954
00:52:31,749 --> 00:52:36,287
with no more effort than it
takes most wives to serve
breakfast to their husbands.

955
00:52:36,387 --> 00:52:40,458
And most important of all...

956
00:52:40,558 --> 00:52:42,327
I love you, Henry.

957
00:52:42,427 --> 00:52:43,861
Alice.

958
00:52:43,961 --> 00:52:47,432
Please, Henry,
I understand.

959
00:52:47,532 --> 00:52:50,801
I'm going to leave town tonight.

960
00:52:50,901 --> 00:52:55,306
We have relatives in Denver
who have asked me to visit them
for a while.

961
00:52:56,707 --> 00:52:59,810
Take care of yourself, darling.

962
00:53:19,597 --> 00:53:20,665
Joe?

963
00:53:24,402 --> 00:53:25,703
Afternoon, Henry.

964
00:53:25,803 --> 00:53:27,071
Everything quiet?

965
00:53:27,305 --> 00:53:28,439
So far.

966
00:53:29,807 --> 00:53:32,443
Joe, I want you to get
a bunk in here for me.

967
00:53:32,543 --> 00:53:34,245
I'll be spending the night.

968
00:53:34,345 --> 00:53:38,383
Sure. Sure, yes, Henry,
I'll take care of it.

969
00:53:44,989 --> 00:53:46,857
I saw his honor come in.

970
00:53:46,957 --> 00:53:48,826
Yeah, over there.
Judge.

971
00:53:48,926 --> 00:53:49,894
Thank you.

972
00:53:51,796 --> 00:53:52,997
Good afternoon, sir.

973
00:53:53,230 --> 00:53:54,599
Afternoon.

974
00:53:56,100 --> 00:53:59,003
First of all,
I'd like to apologize to you.

975
00:53:59,236 --> 00:54:00,571
What for?

976
00:54:00,671 --> 00:54:05,142
Well, this is the first time
I've handled a case like this.

977
00:54:05,242 --> 00:54:09,280
I just passed my bar exams
before I came out here, and I--

978
00:54:09,380 --> 00:54:11,349
( chuckles )
Well, what I'm trying
to say

979
00:54:11,449 --> 00:54:13,384
is that when I
advised those men,

980
00:54:13,484 --> 00:54:16,887
I had no idea that things
would get out of hand this way.

981
00:54:20,024 --> 00:54:22,560
Well, if you hadn't
given them that way out,

982
00:54:22,660 --> 00:54:25,530
they'd have found
something else.

983
00:54:25,630 --> 00:54:27,998
I've been giving it
a good deal of thought,
your honor,

984
00:54:28,098 --> 00:54:31,001
and I think I've come up
with a simple solution,

985
00:54:31,101 --> 00:54:33,671
one that would satisfy
both the Carhews
and the town,

986
00:54:33,771 --> 00:54:35,740
and you wouldn't
be compromised by it.

987
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:36,741
Oh?

988
00:54:36,841 --> 00:54:39,176
Thank you.

989
00:54:39,276 --> 00:54:41,912
All right, you don't
wanna set aside the verdict,

990
00:54:42,012 --> 00:54:45,416
but you could use
the same evidence of prejudice
to declare a mistrial.

991
00:54:45,516 --> 00:54:47,918
That would
automatically require
a change of venue.

992
00:54:48,018 --> 00:54:51,021
The case could be retried
in Cheyenne perhaps,

993
00:54:51,121 --> 00:54:53,624
which is too big a town
for this sort of thing
to happen.

994
00:54:53,724 --> 00:54:56,761
and where there'd be
no question of prejudice
in a trial.

995
00:55:02,500 --> 00:55:07,004
I don't know what you
think the law is, Smith,

996
00:55:07,104 --> 00:55:10,941
but it's not a game
where you can get what you want

997
00:55:11,041 --> 00:55:13,344
simply by finding enough
legal justification.

998
00:55:13,444 --> 00:55:16,881
I can't declare a mistrial
unless there's been a mistrial!

999
00:55:16,981 --> 00:55:19,249
Just a minute, your honor.

1000
00:55:19,350 --> 00:55:21,486
This town faces a big problem.

1001
00:55:21,586 --> 00:55:24,389
I came to you
with what I thought
might be a solution.

1002
00:55:24,489 --> 00:55:28,859
There are five armed
and vicious men camped
behind the courthouse.

1003
00:55:28,959 --> 00:55:32,763
I don't call giving in
to that kind of terrorism
a solution.

1004
00:55:34,399 --> 00:55:36,634
All right, your honor,
maybe it's not,

1005
00:55:36,734 --> 00:55:39,937
but it is something
for you to consider,

1006
00:55:40,037 --> 00:55:44,008
and I'm officially
putting this petition
before you.

1007
00:55:45,743 --> 00:55:48,579
You'll have my decision
tomorrow morning in court.

1008
00:55:51,616 --> 00:55:52,650
Good day, sir.

1009
00:55:59,023 --> 00:56:00,925
Look what I got here.

1010
00:56:02,427 --> 00:56:04,829
Where'd you get that pig,
Wilkie?

1011
00:56:04,929 --> 00:56:07,965
Oh, a man give it to me.

1012
00:56:09,700 --> 00:56:12,470
Go on, ain't nobody
around here gonna give you
a pig.

1013
00:56:12,570 --> 00:56:15,806
Son, you don't seem to know
what powerful respect

1014
00:56:15,906 --> 00:56:18,976
people got around here
for the name Lennie Carhew.

1015
00:56:19,076 --> 00:56:20,845
Me?
( all laughing )

1016
00:56:24,482 --> 00:56:26,784
They got respect for me?

1017
00:56:26,884 --> 00:56:28,553
Sure thing, boy.

1018
00:56:28,653 --> 00:56:31,422
See, I was passin' by
the butcher shop this evenin',

1019
00:56:31,522 --> 00:56:34,892
and the butcher
just got himself in
a wagonload of pigs,

1020
00:56:34,992 --> 00:56:37,094
and I stopped and says,

1021
00:56:37,194 --> 00:56:40,665
"I sure do like
the looks of that pig,"

1022
00:56:40,765 --> 00:56:46,270
and he says, "Say, you ain't
Lennie Carhew's uncle are ya?"

1023
00:56:46,471 --> 00:56:49,807
And I said, "I sure am,"

1024
00:56:49,907 --> 00:56:52,643
and he said,
"Well, take that pig

1025
00:56:52,743 --> 00:56:55,946
'cause I sure don't wanna tangle
with Lennie Carhew."

1026
00:56:56,046 --> 00:56:58,616
Now that was a smart man.

1027
00:56:58,716 --> 00:57:00,184
( laughs )

1028
00:57:00,417 --> 00:57:01,919
( branch snaps )

1029
00:57:08,493 --> 00:57:10,461
Hey, how come
Billy ain't with you?

1030
00:57:10,561 --> 00:57:12,329
I thought you
was gonna get him out.

1031
00:57:12,429 --> 00:57:14,899
I came to tell you
that I presented Judge Garth

1032
00:57:14,999 --> 00:57:17,735
with a petition asking him
to declare a mistrial.

1033
00:57:17,835 --> 00:57:20,070
He won't make a formal ruling
on it until tomorrow morning
in court.

1034
00:57:20,170 --> 00:57:21,639
What's that mean?

1035
00:57:21,739 --> 00:57:25,109
He means the judge
ain't gonna let Billy go
until mornin'.

1036
00:57:25,209 --> 00:57:27,077
That's right, ain't it?

1037
00:57:27,177 --> 00:57:30,615
No, it means we won't know
what Judge Garth is gonna do

1038
00:57:30,715 --> 00:57:32,717
until he announces
his decision in court.

1039
00:57:35,185 --> 00:57:37,321
You said you was gonna get him
out of there.

1040
00:57:37,522 --> 00:57:39,657
Jake. Jake Carhew.

1041
00:57:42,793 --> 00:57:44,529
It's Clyde Carey, Jake.
I'm alone.

1042
00:57:44,629 --> 00:57:46,230
I'd like to talk to you.

1043
00:57:47,598 --> 00:57:50,200
All right.
Come on on in here
where we can see ya.

1044
00:57:54,805 --> 00:57:56,541
Evening, Mr. Smith.

1045
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,677
Drink?

1046
00:57:59,777 --> 00:58:01,245
No. No, thanks.

1047
00:58:02,547 --> 00:58:04,048
What's on your mind?

1048
00:58:04,148 --> 00:58:06,551
Well, I just want to let you
know that, well,

1049
00:58:06,651 --> 00:58:10,020
we agree with you that Billy
didn't get a fair trial.

1050
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,691
We've asked the judge
to set aside the verdict.

1051
00:58:13,791 --> 00:58:17,127
We've--we've even threatened
to recall the judge,

1052
00:58:17,227 --> 00:58:20,164
but, of course,
we can't do that
by tomorrow morning,

1053
00:58:20,264 --> 00:58:22,399
so we just thought
you ought to know

1054
00:58:22,499 --> 00:58:26,403
that we've done
everything we can.

1055
00:58:26,503 --> 00:58:27,738
Of course,
you've gotta realize

1056
00:58:27,838 --> 00:58:32,242
that we can't control what
the judge says or thinks.

1057
00:58:32,342 --> 00:58:35,145
I mean,
in this case, well...

1058
00:58:35,245 --> 00:58:36,513
Ugh!

1059
00:58:39,016 --> 00:58:41,586
Show him your knife.

1060
00:58:41,686 --> 00:58:43,187
Wait a minute,
leave him alone!

1061
00:58:47,992 --> 00:58:49,627
Let me tell you somethin',
Carey.

1062
00:58:49,727 --> 00:58:54,198
I'm right happy
to hear all you done,
but understand me--

1063
00:58:54,298 --> 00:58:56,767
it better work.
You hear?

1064
00:58:56,867 --> 00:58:58,268
Yes.

1065
00:58:58,368 --> 00:59:01,238
And don't go tellin' me
you can't control a judge!

1066
00:59:01,338 --> 00:59:03,974
Because you better.
Understand?

1067
00:59:05,342 --> 00:59:06,877
Billy ain't hangin'.

1068
00:59:06,977 --> 00:59:10,114
You and the rest of this town
better see to it.

1069
00:59:23,027 --> 00:59:24,595
When you came to me
and told me

1070
00:59:24,695 --> 00:59:26,263
how the hole county
felt about your family,

1071
00:59:26,363 --> 00:59:27,732
I thought you had
a legal case,

1072
00:59:27,832 --> 00:59:29,099
but this sort of thing--

1073
00:59:29,199 --> 00:59:31,435
you can't free your brother
by terrorizing the town.

1074
00:59:31,669 --> 00:59:35,272
( chuckles )

1075
00:59:35,372 --> 00:59:38,308
Boy, you're as green
as they come, ain't ya?

1076
00:59:45,582 --> 00:59:48,919
The judge and this town
have done been flattened.

1077
00:59:49,019 --> 00:59:50,755
Now he may try
to make a big show

1078
00:59:50,855 --> 00:59:52,156
because he
don't wanna look bad,

1079
00:59:52,256 --> 00:59:53,891
but this town's runnin' scared.

1080
00:59:53,991 --> 00:59:57,494
He does anything to Billy,
people around here

1081
00:59:57,594 --> 00:59:59,229
are gonna give him
a coat of feathers

1082
00:59:59,329 --> 01:00:01,766
and ride him right out
on a rail, lawyer.

1083
01:00:01,866 --> 01:00:04,001
You get on thing straight,
Mr. Carhew--

1084
01:00:04,101 --> 01:00:06,771
I'll use every legal means
to help your brother, but--

1085
01:00:06,871 --> 01:00:08,072
But what?!

1086
01:00:10,708 --> 01:00:12,576
I'm tellin' you, lawyer--

1087
01:00:12,677 --> 01:00:17,114
you're gonna come out
of that courtroom with Billy
in the mornin'

1088
01:00:17,214 --> 01:00:19,216
or you better be runnin'
when you hit that door.

1089
01:00:19,316 --> 01:00:24,121
Now you go get your sleep.

1090
01:00:50,948 --> 01:00:52,950
( all conversing )

1091
01:02:15,966 --> 01:02:17,968
You know, Judge,
I've been thinkin'

1092
01:02:18,068 --> 01:02:21,371
it might do no harm
if you got over to court
a little early.

1093
01:02:22,807 --> 01:02:25,675
So you can take the prisoner
over by yourself, is that it?

1094
01:02:25,776 --> 01:02:27,177
Now don't get stubborn
with me, Henry.

1095
01:02:27,277 --> 01:02:28,645
You know as well as I do

1096
01:02:28,745 --> 01:02:29,914
it don't make
one whit of difference

1097
01:02:30,014 --> 01:02:32,416
whether one man or two men
take the prisoner over,

1098
01:02:32,516 --> 01:02:34,785
not if they're gonna take him.

1099
01:02:34,885 --> 01:02:36,787
Joe, you're a brave man.

1100
01:02:36,887 --> 01:02:40,090
No, not brave, it's just that
I've done this so many times.

1101
01:02:40,190 --> 01:02:42,626
Ain't you sense enough
to get scared?

1102
01:02:42,860 --> 01:02:45,095
Well, yes.

1103
01:02:45,195 --> 01:02:47,965
Yes, what?

1104
01:02:48,065 --> 01:02:52,602
Yes, I'm scared,
and, yes, I'm going with you.

1105
01:02:52,803 --> 01:02:54,071
( chuckles )

1106
01:02:54,171 --> 01:02:58,909
Well, maybe the easiest way
would be to just let Billy go.

1107
01:02:59,009 --> 01:03:02,446
You ain't gonna make
any friends in this town
hangin' him.

1108
01:03:02,546 --> 01:03:06,917
You too, Joe?
You think I should give in
gracefully?

1109
01:03:07,017 --> 01:03:10,921
Anybody that had sense enough
to know when to back away.

1110
01:03:11,021 --> 01:03:13,557
Everybody in this town
wants you to.

1111
01:03:16,660 --> 01:03:18,829
Joe, what would you do
in my place?

1112
01:03:18,929 --> 01:03:22,833
Oh, me, I'm just an old man.
I got nothin' to lose.

1113
01:03:22,933 --> 01:03:25,369
Decisions are too easy
for people with nothin'
to lose,

1114
01:03:25,469 --> 01:03:27,704
but if I was a bettin' man,
I'd lay pretty good odds

1115
01:03:27,804 --> 01:03:30,074
we'll never get him
over to that courthouse
without a fight.

1116
01:03:30,174 --> 01:03:31,508
( door opens )

1117
01:03:34,444 --> 01:03:37,414
This is sure one jail
I'm sure not gonna be sorry
to say good-bye to.

1118
01:03:37,514 --> 01:03:38,949
Oh, come on.

1119
01:03:39,049 --> 01:03:42,752
I ought to go with you
as far as the courthouse door.

1120
01:03:42,853 --> 01:03:45,522
No, Piney, what you're doing
is more important.

1121
01:03:45,622 --> 01:03:48,092
Yes, sir.
I'll have everything ready.

1122
01:03:55,132 --> 01:03:56,333
Cover me, Joe.

1123
01:04:35,072 --> 01:04:38,442
We got your horse
all saddled, Billy Boy.
You ready to ride?

1124
01:04:38,542 --> 01:04:39,776
All ready, Jake.

1125
01:04:39,876 --> 01:04:42,646
I intend to take this prisoner
into the courthouse.

1126
01:04:42,746 --> 01:04:45,382
I warn you--
don't make the slightest move
to stop us.

1127
01:04:47,251 --> 01:04:49,186
Don't try nothin', Jake,
he'll pull that trigger.

1128
01:04:49,286 --> 01:04:50,988
Get out of my way.

1129
01:04:53,390 --> 01:04:54,491
Do like he says, Jake.

1130
01:05:21,085 --> 01:05:22,919
Hold it.

1131
01:05:23,020 --> 01:05:24,921
No guns inside the courtroom.

1132
01:05:25,022 --> 01:05:27,491
You wanna come inside
and hear the decision,
leave them out here.

1133
01:05:27,591 --> 01:05:29,259
Now look, you ain't
in no position--
Sure thing, Judge.

1134
01:05:29,359 --> 01:05:31,295
We wanna do everything
accordin' to law.

1135
01:05:31,395 --> 01:05:33,263
You put them down now, boys.

1136
01:05:44,074 --> 01:05:46,076
( all conversing )

1137
01:05:47,677 --> 01:05:49,079
Everybody get up!

1138
01:05:56,420 --> 01:05:59,289
The 15th district court,
territory of Wyoming,

1139
01:05:59,389 --> 01:06:01,525
township of Medicine Bow
is now in session.

1140
01:06:01,625 --> 01:06:03,227
The Honorable Henry Garth
presiding.

1141
01:06:03,327 --> 01:06:04,361
Sit down.

1142
01:06:15,239 --> 01:06:18,008
Early last week,
a jury of 12 men

1143
01:06:18,108 --> 01:06:20,410
returned a verdict of guilty

1144
01:06:20,510 --> 01:06:23,747
in the case of the people
against William Homer Carhew.

1145
01:06:23,847 --> 01:06:27,217
Today, it is the court's duty
to pass sentence.

1146
01:06:27,317 --> 01:06:29,119
Ordinarily in a case like this,

1147
01:06:29,219 --> 01:06:31,755
sentencing would be simple
and obvious,

1148
01:06:31,855 --> 01:06:35,192
but a grave question
has been raised...

1149
01:06:35,292 --> 01:06:37,127
which must be considered.

1150
01:06:38,528 --> 01:06:40,597
The court has before it
a petition

1151
01:06:40,697 --> 01:06:42,899
asking that a mistrial
be declared

1152
01:06:42,999 --> 01:06:44,668
on the grounds of prejudice.

1153
01:06:46,070 --> 01:06:47,304
Now before the court rules
on this,

1154
01:06:47,404 --> 01:06:51,408
there's something I...
I wanna say.

1155
01:06:51,508 --> 01:06:53,443
The attorney representing
the defendant

1156
01:06:53,543 --> 01:06:56,780
was perfectly within his rights
to make this petition,

1157
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:00,284
under the provisions of the law
designed to protect the rights

1158
01:07:00,384 --> 01:07:03,253
of an individual
unjustly convicted of a crime,

1159
01:07:03,353 --> 01:07:06,090
and it would seem
that the people

1160
01:07:06,190 --> 01:07:09,526
who have made it clear
that they support this petition

1161
01:07:09,626 --> 01:07:12,462
were within their rights...

1162
01:07:14,698 --> 01:07:17,167
But there is no justice

1163
01:07:17,267 --> 01:07:21,371
when a particularly cold-blooded
and vicious murderer

1164
01:07:21,471 --> 01:07:25,242
is allowed to go unpunished

1165
01:07:25,342 --> 01:07:30,314
simply because the citizens
are intimidated by threats

1166
01:07:30,414 --> 01:07:32,816
and frightened to death.

1167
01:07:35,452 --> 01:07:38,355
William Carhew
was tried in this court

1168
01:07:38,455 --> 01:07:40,957
not for the kind of man he is,

1169
01:07:41,057 --> 01:07:44,394
but on the specific charge
of murder.

1170
01:07:46,062 --> 01:07:48,098
I refuse to believe

1171
01:07:48,198 --> 01:07:51,768
that 12 honorable men
perjured themselves

1172
01:07:51,868 --> 01:07:54,070
when they swore
to render a verdict

1173
01:07:54,171 --> 01:07:58,074
based solely on the evidence
placed before them.

1174
01:07:58,175 --> 01:08:00,910
The petition to set aside
the verdict is denied.

1175
01:08:01,111 --> 01:08:03,713
( all conversing )

1176
01:08:11,188 --> 01:08:13,790
The prisoner will rise
and face the bench.

1177
01:08:18,428 --> 01:08:21,064
William Homer Carhew,

1178
01:08:21,165 --> 01:08:23,500
you have been tried
according to the law,

1179
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,070
found guilt of murder
in the first degree.

1180
01:08:27,171 --> 01:08:30,874
It is the sentence
of this court

1181
01:08:30,974 --> 01:08:34,478
that you shall be taken
to the appointed place
of execution.

1182
01:08:34,578 --> 01:08:39,216
There you shall be hanged
by the neck until dead.

1183
01:08:39,316 --> 01:08:40,550
( all conversing )

1184
01:08:40,650 --> 01:08:42,752
Because of
the unusual circumstances

1185
01:08:42,852 --> 01:08:44,087
surrounding this matter,

1186
01:08:44,188 --> 01:08:46,423
the sentence will be carried out
immediately.

1187
01:08:48,325 --> 01:08:50,560
May God have mercy on your soul.

1188
01:08:50,660 --> 01:08:52,562
Stay there!

1189
01:08:52,662 --> 01:08:54,864
Jake, you ain't
gonna let them hang me!

1190
01:08:54,964 --> 01:08:57,501
Jake, help me!
Jake! Jake, help me!

1191
01:08:57,601 --> 01:08:58,568
( screams )

1192
01:09:05,175 --> 01:09:06,276
Doctor.

1193
01:09:16,786 --> 01:09:17,787
He's dead.

1194
01:09:19,389 --> 01:09:20,790
Take the prisoner out.

1195
01:09:23,159 --> 01:09:25,795
Stay in your seats! This court
hasn't been adjourned!

1196
01:09:34,971 --> 01:09:39,543
"I am the resurrection
and the life," said the Lord,

1197
01:09:39,643 --> 01:09:42,379
"and who so ever believith
on me..."

1198
01:09:47,751 --> 01:09:53,357
Oh Lord, incline thine eyes
to this most unworthy sinner

1199
01:09:53,457 --> 01:09:57,160
who faced by
thy most righteous judgment

1200
01:09:57,261 --> 01:09:59,696
and aware of
his contrite spirit,

1201
01:09:59,796 --> 01:10:01,731
grant him thy mercy

1202
01:10:01,831 --> 01:10:04,434
in the name of Jesus Christ
Our Lord

1203
01:10:04,534 --> 01:10:07,804
who came to bring thy mercy
to all mankind.

1204
01:10:07,904 --> 01:10:10,340
Amen.

1205
01:10:24,854 --> 01:10:26,523
( sound of trap being strung )

1206
01:10:40,904 --> 01:10:43,473
The sentence
has been carried out,
your honor.

1207
01:10:49,513 --> 01:10:51,014
Court is adjourned.

1208
01:11:04,694 --> 01:11:07,597
( all conversing )

1209
01:11:26,550 --> 01:11:28,418
Don't go near those guns.

1210
01:12:38,622 --> 01:12:39,756
Judge.

1211
01:12:41,758 --> 01:12:42,992
You were right.

1212
01:12:47,230 --> 01:12:50,900
Maybe one of these days
there'll be no need for these.

1213
01:12:53,937 --> 01:12:57,741
Stick around.
This country's gonna need you.

1214
01:13:00,644 --> 01:13:03,547
And the Carhews
never came back?

1215
01:13:03,647 --> 01:13:05,715
No, they never came back.

1216
01:13:05,815 --> 01:13:08,284
Well, if you ran
against Oliver Smith,

1217
01:13:08,384 --> 01:13:10,654
you could beat him,
couldn't you?

1218
01:13:10,754 --> 01:13:13,957
Hmm, I don't know.
I'm not so sure.

1219
01:13:14,057 --> 01:13:16,993
Ten years can make
quite a difference

1220
01:13:17,093 --> 01:13:19,529
in a country and in a man,

1221
01:13:19,629 --> 01:13:23,567
and in Smith's case,
I think all of those changes
have been to the good.

1222
01:13:23,667 --> 01:13:26,870
I think he'd do a fine job
as a judge.

1223
01:13:26,970 --> 01:13:29,573
Is that your verdict?

1224
01:13:29,673 --> 01:13:31,541
That's my verdict.

1225
01:13:31,641 --> 01:13:32,976
Disappointed?

1226
01:13:33,076 --> 01:13:34,310
No, I like having you around.

1227
01:13:34,544 --> 01:13:35,745
( both chuckle )

1228
01:13:35,845 --> 01:13:38,381
And how would the foremost
retired judge in this state

1229
01:13:38,482 --> 01:13:40,950
like a cup of hot chocolate
before he goes to bed?

1230
01:13:41,050 --> 01:13:45,855
Well, just off hand now...

1231
01:13:45,955 --> 01:13:47,824
he'd like it fine.

1232
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:12,849
( theme song )
