I, Mitchell Lodwick, prosecuting
attorney, come into Iron Cliffs...
:57:04
and give the court to understand
that one Clarence Madigan...
:57:07
alias ""One-Shot"" Madigan,
alias ""Smoky"" Madigan...
:57:11
did break and enter the dwelling house
of Casper Katz...
:57:13
and did there commit the felony
of larceny on said premises.
:57:17
Does Mr. Madigan have an attorney?
:57:20
No. A man's gotta have money to ask
them fellas the time of day.
:57:23
Mr. Madigan,
if you're impoverished...
:57:25
it's my duty to appoint an attorney
on your behalf.
:57:28
I wouldn't bother, Your Honor.
:57:31
I stole the whisky.
I'm guilty as hell.
:57:34
It was a full case of
expensive bourbon, Your Honor.
:57:36
Did you sell this whisky?
:57:38
No. I drank it.
:57:39
- All of it?
- You bet,Judge.
:57:42
Are you aware that it will be
necessary to punish you for this crime?
:57:44
It was worth it.
:57:46
Well, I'll accept your plea
of guilty, Mr. Madigan.
:57:49
You'll be sentenced later.
You may now return to your place.
:57:52
Thanks, Your Honor.
:57:55
Case number two--
:57:58
The People v, Frederick Manion,
:58:00
The charge-- murder.
:58:02
Paul Biegler for the defendant.
My formal appearance is already on file.
:58:07
Which of these men
is your client, Mr. Biegler?
:58:10
None of them.
:58:11
Sheriff, will you produce
the prisoner?
:58:14
Well, I-- I'm afraid
I can't do that, Your Honor.
:58:18
Perhaps someone should explain.
I'm not clairvoyant.
:58:21
The defendant is in Detroit
being examined by a psychiatrist.
:58:25
Shouldn't the court
have been consulted...
:58:27
before the defendant
was allowed to leave its jurisdiction?
:58:30
Your Honor, we're dealing
with the army in this matter.
:58:33
This is the only crack they would
give us at one of their psychiatrists.
:58:36
The court was not present. It was urgent
we get the defendant to a psychiatrist.
:58:41
What does the attorney for the people
say to this?
:58:43
It was done with my knowledge.
:58:45
I've always heard this Upper Pennisula
of our fair state was a queer place.
:58:50
If it's customary here to allow a man
charged with first degree murder...
:58:54
to wander about at will, I don't suppose
it behooves an outsider to point out...
:58:58
that the law makes no provision
for such quaint liberalism.
