Therefore it is now by the court
considered, ordered and adjudged

that you be remanded to the custody of
the warden of Leavenworth penitentiary

and kept in solitary confinement there
until the 8th day of November, 1918,

:17:17
and then and there be hanged
by the neck until you are dead.

:17:21
No!
:17:24
This sentence is unspeakable!
:17:27
You call this justice?
:17:29
You don't even know
the meaning of the word, sir.

:17:45
Forget it. It's "Katy bar the door" for me.
I'm done.

:17:49
Sit down, Robbie.
:17:52
Sit down.
:17:58
Look, Ma, you fought,
you spent all your money,

:18:03
you got old followin' me from jail to jail.
:18:07
It's time to douse the lights.

I told you before, Robbie,
I will not let them kill you.

:18:14
I'm going to Washington DC very soon.
:18:17
- I haven't begun to fight.
- Time's up.

:18:25

do you, Ma?

:18:32
Did you think Mother was gonna
let them hurt my Robbie?

in an effort to gain an audience
with the president of the United States.

:18:53

Senator Ham Lewis.

:18:57
He reminded her
of the president's grave illness.
