:14:00
I see.
That'll be all, Mr. Brocius.
:14:05
Now, is it a fact that you're
a heavy financial backer
:14:08
of another one of your employees,
Pete Spence,
:14:11
for the Tombstone City Marshal post
now held by Virgil Earp?
:14:14
It is a fact.
:14:18
That will be all.
:14:24
When you heard the shooting,
:14:26
why did you not go to the aid
of your brother and the McLowerys?
:14:30
It's been so long since there's been
a gunfight in this county,
:14:33
I could scarcely believe my ears.
:14:35
When you did ascertain
that a gunfight was actually in progress,
:14:39
what did you do?
:14:40
Nothing. I was unarmed.
:14:43
I find that my familiarity with weapons
is not an asset to me as a businessman.
:14:47
It has been stated
that your employees...
:14:52
the bookkeeper
and the cattle breeder...
:14:55
were armed.
Why, Mr. Clanton?
:14:57
I've been told that there's
a plot to assassinate me.
:15:01
Because of my stand for freedom
of the range against the easterners.
:15:05
In my opinion...
:15:08
such was the purpose of
the marshal's attack on the O.K. Corral.
:15:12
That is all.
:15:16
Then you did have an animosity
toward the Clanton group
:15:19
prior to October 26, 1881?
:15:21
Everyone in town knows I did.
:15:23
Oh, Marshal, you walked down
to that O.K. Corral
:15:26
with your brothers and Doc Holliday
in a state of frustration,
:15:29
with malice in your heart,
toward lke Clanton and his group.
:15:31
I've said that. Repeating the question
won't make it any stronger.
:15:35
That's all.
:15:37
Just a moment, Your Honor.
I should like to reexamine the defendant.
:15:42
Wyatt, did malice move you
against the Clanton group?
:15:46
No.
:15:47
Would you tell the court what did?
:15:49
The Clanton group was armed
:15:52
and made threats
of death and violence against us.
:15:55
It was our duty as sworn peace officers
to disarm and arrest them.
:15:59
I would disarm and arrest
