:40:00
You know as well as we do
Kinkaid can't tell us anything.

:40:04
-He's dead.
-Dead?

:40:07
FARNLEY:
What do you think we're here for?

:40:09
How should I know?
He was all right yesterday.

:40:12
Why don't you just
stop this farce and take us in?

:40:15
Because the law's slow
and careless around here.

:40:19
We're here to see it's speeded up.
:40:21
-Who sent you up here?
-The sheriff.

:40:23
GIL: That ain't true.
SMITH: Let's don't get started again.

:40:27
-The sheriff didn't know we were coming.
-I should have said deputy sheriff.

:40:32
I'm not trying to obstruct justice, but just
as this young man says, this is a farce. . .

:40:38
. . .and it'll be murder
if you carry it through.

:40:41
All he's asking is what
every man's entitled to: a fair trial.

:40:45
You say you're innocent,
and I believe you.

:40:48
MA:
Then you're the only one.

:40:50
If there's any justice here. . .
:40:52
. . .it would only be after a confession.
:40:54
They say they're innocent,
and you haven't proved they're not!

:40:57
MAPES:
Shut up!

:40:59
-Have you a bill of sale for those cattle?
-No, but Kinkaid said it'd be all right.

:41:05
He was on the range and didn't
have one with him. He said he'd mail it.

:41:09
-Moore.
-Yep?

:41:11
-How long you been riding for Kinkaid?
-Six years.

:41:13
Ever know him to sell any cattle
without a bill of sale?

:41:16
No, can't say that I ever did.
:41:19
Of course, I can't remember
every head he sold.

:41:22
-But it's customary for him to give one?
-Yep.

:41:25
Ever know him to sell cattle
after spring roundup?

:41:28
-This year or any other year?
FARNLEY: I can answer that.

:41:31
I heard him say a couple days ago he
wouldn't sell a head to nobody this spring.

:41:36
Well?
:41:39
I know it looks bad, a dead man
as a witness, but it's the truth.

:41:43
-You don't believe me?
-Would you, in my place?

:41:46
I'd find out before hanging
three men who might be innocent.

:41:49
If it were only rustling, maybe.
But with murder, no.
