1:27:01
- Moon bright?
- Yes, sir.
1:27:07
Of course, if it hadn't
been moon bright...
1:27:09
you couldn't have seen a hundred yards,
could you?
1:27:13
- Course not.
- But you did see it.
1:27:17
I told you I saw it, didn't I?
1:27:20
What's he driving at?
1:27:25
And, uh, the only reason
you're tellin' us this now...
1:27:29
is 'cause you feel sorry
for one of the defendants?
1:27:32
Well, I didn't want to see 'em
both get hung.
1:27:36
Well, I don't reckon you'd lie
about a thing like that.
1:27:50
You can step down.
1:27:52
No further questions, Your Honor.
1:28:01
Oh, Mr. Cass.
1:28:04
I forgot. There's just one other question
I want to ask you.
1:28:09
Cass, what'd you have
against Scrub White?
1:28:16
- Why, nothing. I -
- What'd you kill him for then?
1:28:21
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Yes, you do.
1:28:25
Look at this. Go on, look at it.
1:28:28
It's the Farmer's Almanac.
Go ahead. Look at it. Look at page 12.
1:28:33
You see what it says
about the moon?
1:28:35
That the moon was only
in its first quarter that night...
1:28:38
and set at 10:21...
1:28:41
40 minutes
before the killing took place.
1:28:46
So, you see, it couldn't have
been moon bright, could it?
1:28:50
You lied, didn't you, Cass?
1:28:52
And you weren't trying to save
these boys' necks, were you?
1:28:55
You were trying to save your own,
weren't you?
1:28:58
- Well, come on! Weren't you?
- No.
