:56:01
May it please the court,
the State of Illinois is ready-
:56:04
ready and waiting, sir.
:56:09
Then go ahead, gentlemen,
and pick yourselves a jury.
:56:17
- So your name's Bill Killian?
- Yes, sir.
:56:22
- You don't like my clients, do you, Bill?
- No, sir, I don't.
:56:28
Well, tell me this.
:56:30
You any kin to old Jake Killian,
used to live down in New Salem?
:56:34
Why, yes, sir. I'm his son.
:56:40
Well, Bill, if you take after your dad,
you're a smart boy...
:56:44
and an honest one too.
:56:46
Reckon he's all right with us,
Your Honor.
:56:55
Clarence, how you stand
on capital punishment?
:56:59
You mean, do I want to see
them two fellas hung? I do.
:57:04
- You're a blacksmith, aren't you?
- Sure.
:57:08
Well, there's going to be a heap
of horseshoein' around here this week.
:57:13
I wouldn't want to
keep you from your job.
:57:16
- You're excused.
- Get going, Clarence.
:57:23
You say you've never
discussed this case?
:57:26
No, sir, I never did.
:57:27
Ever hear anybody else discuss it?
:57:30
No, sir.
:57:33
How long you been a barber
in this town?
:57:36
Oh, about 18 years, goin' on.
:57:38
And you never heard it mentioned?
:57:42
No, sir, not that I remember.
:57:44
Do you know the, uh, gentleman
who's prosecuting this case, Mr. Felder?
:57:51
- I guess I know him.
- Then you're excused.
:57:54
Your Honor, this is a waste of time.
:57:57
Mr. Lincoln should know
that the mere fact...
:57:59
that a prospective juror
knows counsel for the State...
