...with tear gas and rifle butts...
1:01:03
...when somebody slugged me
from behind, and l...
1:01:06
You said, "slugged," "tear gas,"
"rifle butts," "mob."
1:01:11
After all, this was an attempted
lynching then!
1:01:13
- Objection!
- The question was proper!
1:01:16
I disagree! Your constant use
of the word lynching...
1:01:19
If counsel's ears were as quick
as his objections...
1:01:22
...he'd know I said
attempted lynching.
1:01:24
If the state's evidence was
as breathtaking as its sarcasm...
1:01:27
...which I suggest is being employed
to hide from the jury...
1:01:31
...the failure of its own witnesses
to back up its hollow case...
1:01:34
Hooray! Hollow as a busted jug,
is what it is!
1:01:37
Quiet, will you?
1:01:39
Remove that man.
1:01:42
- I was just...
- Come here. You're going.
1:01:45
They hadn't ought to treat Uncle Billy
that way! Uncle Billy's right!
1:01:49
This is a shame against the good name
of our town.
1:01:53
- Bring that man before the court.
- Order in the court. Quiet.
1:01:57
He won't do nothing to me.
I ain't afraid.
1:02:00
Sit down, you. Sit down!
1:02:03
I order you held in contempt
with a fine of $ 100...
1:02:05
...or 10 days in the county jail.
1:02:07
I protest against this injustice!
1:02:10
The fine will be $200 or 30 days.
1:02:14
But he can't put me in...
Why, all I said was...
1:02:19
A trial for murder...
1:02:21
...is the most solemn occasion
upon which men can be called...
1:02:24
...to perform a public duty.
1:02:27
Any further demonstration
and I shall order the courtroom cleared.
1:02:33
- Proceed.
- May it please the court.
1:02:36
The state's own witnesses...
1:02:38
...have not been able to identify
these defendants...
1:02:41
...as having even been
at the scene of the crime...
1:02:44
...alleged in the indictment.
1:02:46
We must insist that the state
give us facts...
1:02:49
...instead of...
1:02:51
...tittle-tattle here.
1:02:54
Your Honor...
1:02:55
...in the last 49 years...
1:02:58
...mobs have lynched
6010 human beings...
