1:07:01
You don't, of your own knowledge...
1:07:03
know that Scrub White
came at them...
1:07:06
with the shooting end
of the pistol, do you?
1:07:09
- No, sir.
- Therefore -
1:07:11
That's the end the bullets
usually come from, isn't it?
1:07:13
Yes, sir.
1:07:15
There - But you didn't see
a shot fired, did you?
1:07:17
- No, sir.
- Then -
1:07:18
- But you heard it?
- I heard something sounded like a shot.
1:07:22
What do you figure you're best at -
seeing or hearing?
1:07:25
Well, both.
1:07:27
That's what I figured.
Step down.
1:07:31
If you -
1:07:32
Call Palmer Cass.
1:07:35
Palmer Cass, take the stand.
1:07:43
Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth,
1:07:44
the whole truth and nothing but the truth,
so help you, God?
1:07:47
- I do.
- What's your name?
1:07:49
J. Palmer Cass.
1:07:52
You knew Scrub White, didn't you?
1:07:55
Sure. I knew him well.
1:07:58
- When was the last time you saw him?
- The night he was killed.
1:08:03
You had spent a great part of that day
with him, hadn't you?
1:08:07
I was with him all day, near abouts.
1:08:09
Tell me, Mr. Cass -Just what did you
and Mr. White do that day?
1:08:14
Well, we went to the parade first
and then to the fairgrounds.
1:08:17
Had supper down at the People's House
and went back to the fairgrounds that night.
1:08:21
I see. Yes. And do you recall...
1:08:24
where, and under what circumstances,
you first saw the defendants?
1:08:29
We went on down to the tug-o'-war,
and there they were.
1:08:32
First thing I knew, they was both cussin'
Scrub out and wantin' to fight him.
1:08:36
- Why, 'tain't so.
- It's a lie, sure enough.
1:08:38
What did Mr. White do then?
1:08:41
Well, he just laughed some more...
1:08:43
asked them what they wanted to
fight him with - knives, pistols or fists.
1:08:47
And how did he ask that -jokingly?
1:08:50
Oh, sure.
He was laughin' all the time.
1:08:53
And that night, Mr. Cass...
1:08:55
just before the killing -
1:08:57
Tell the jury what happened then.
