1:04:02
And then what did you find there?
1:04:04
Ajug of liquor
about three-quarters full.
1:04:09
Did the boys deny they'd been drinking
on the night of the crime?
1:04:14
No, sir. They said they'd had
a snort or two, as usual.
1:04:18
- "As usual".
- Yes, sir. That's what they said. "As usual".
1:04:22
Thank you, Sheriff. Your witness.
1:04:29
- Where's the jug now?
- In my jail.
1:04:33
- Empty?
- Well, there's some left.
1:04:35
- How much?
- About one-fourth full.
1:04:40
- Who drank it?
- Well -
1:04:42
Never mind.
1:04:45
That'll be our little secret.
1:04:48
Tell me this -
Did Scrub White have a pistol?
1:04:51
He was a deputy.
He had to have one.
1:04:53
Do you know if he tried to use it
on the defendants?
1:04:56
- No, sir.
- You don't know he didn't.
1:04:58
No, sir.
1:05:01
Sheriff, did you ever hear
about the fix a man was in...
1:05:05
when he was comin' down the road
with a pitchfork on his shoulder...
1:05:09
and a farmer's dog ran out
and bit him on the leg?
1:05:12
No, sir. That must have been
out of my district.
1:05:16
Well, then you probably don't recall...
1:05:19
that in defending himself...
1:05:22
he stuck one of the prongs of the pitchfork
into the dog and killed him.
1:05:27
The farmer got pretty mad.
1:05:30
"What made you kill my dog?" he said.
1:05:33
Well, the fellow said,
"What made your dog bite me?"
1:05:37
"Well," the farmer says, "why didn't you
go after him with the other end?"
1:05:42
To which the man replied...
1:05:44
"Well, why didn't your dog
come at me with the other end?"
1:05:48
Pretty good, Gil.
1:05:57
Abe, tell 'em the one
about the mule!
1:05:59
Order.! Order.!
