1:12:02
Can you offer us an opinion?
1:12:05
What did you say your name was?
1:12:08
Walter Stoll.
I'm prosecuting you for murder.

1:12:11
Well, Mr. Stoll, I was just a little drunk.
1:12:15
Why?
1:12:16
Because I'd been drinking.
1:12:21
What's your problem now?
1:12:25
I didn't understand you.
1:12:27
We're trying you for murder,
for a capital offense.

1:12:30
So far, no one has had much success
in getting your attention.

1:12:34
Well, I've been in jail.
1:12:38
You've been in jail?
1:12:40
What has that got to do
with your lackadaisical response...

1:12:43
to the questions of the court?
1:12:45
I'm a little bored.
1:12:47
What Prosecutor Stoll is trying
to apprise you of is that...

1:12:50
we're trying to decide whether or not...
1:12:52
you're guilty of a crime
for which you should be hung.

1:12:55
You're gonna do what you have to do.
1:12:58
Do you object to the assertion
of Marshal Belle...

1:13:01
that you killed Jimmy Nolt?
1:13:04
That was your reply
in the transcribed conversation.

1:13:11
Mr. Horn?
1:13:13
Did anybody see me kill that kid?
1:13:16
There were not, and you know it,
any witnesses.

1:13:19
I think what the prosecutor is trying
to say to you is that...

1:13:22
we would keenly like
to have you reply specifically...

1:13:25
to the accusation that you killed this boy.
1:13:29
You want me to say
whether I did or I didn't do it?

1:13:32
In effect, yes...
1:13:33
although a plea of innocence
has been entered.

1:13:36
I'm not going to give you the satisfaction.
Now, whether you or Stoll...

1:13:40
or that sold-out,
son-of-a-bitching marshal Joe Belle...

1:13:43
want to see me guilty, you go right ahead.
1:13:45
But I'm not going to give you
any more satisfaction than I have to.

1:13:48
Whether you shoot me or hang me...
1:13:51
or take my rifle or my horse...
1:13:54
one reason is as good as another.
1:13:56
And I believe that, I do.
That's my last word on this matter.
