:48:01
Witness shall remain standing
until sworn in.
:48:05
Put your hand on the Bible.
:48:07
Cut it out.
:48:08
Do you swear to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth...
:48:11
...so help you God?
:48:13
So help me God.
:48:14
You may be seated.
:48:17
Mr. Swenson, as a guard at Alcatraz,
did you know Henri Young?
:48:21
Yes, sir.
:48:22
Could you point him out for us?
:48:25
That's him right over there, sir.
:48:27
Thank you, Mr. Whitney.
:48:29
Thank you.
:48:30
Now, on the morning of June 1 1, 1941,
where were you?
:48:34
l was on duty in the dining hall.
:48:36
Everything was normal.
:48:38
And l saw the defendant--
:48:40
Henri Young.
:48:41
That's correct.
:48:43
l saw him standing over Rufus McCain.
:48:45
He lifted up his chin and....
:48:47
-Excuse me, l'm nervous.
-lt's all right.
:48:49
And he plunged a metal object...
:48:53
...which l later learned was a spoon...
:48:55
...into McCain's throat.
:48:57
He then ripped it open.
:49:00
Did the defendant ever appear
to be ranting...
:49:02
...or raving?
:49:03
No, sir.
:49:04
Mr. McKeon, was he frothing
at the mouth?
:49:07
No, sir.
:49:08
Did he in any way give the impression
of one who was insane?
:49:12
Objection. This man is not
a qualified psychiatrist.
:49:15
Sustained.
:49:16
So, it appeared to you that it was a cool,
calculated and deliberate act?
:49:20
-Objection!
-Overruled.
:49:22
The witness may answer the question.
:49:24
Yes, sir. Young did it,
just as cool as a cucumber.
:49:27
Thank you.
:49:28
No further questions.
:49:30
This court will reconvene
after the holiday...
:49:33
...9:00 a.m., July 5.
:49:35
All rise.
:49:36
You should have played cards with me.
:49:38
Alcatraz.
:49:40
lt was built by the military
during the Civil War.
:49:44
ln May of '33, the War Department
abandoned the island.
:49:48
lt was leveled, all except for the lower
floor which is now used for storage.
:49:52
Note to myself:
Get access to the lower level...
:49:55
...because that's where the dungeons have
gotta be located.
:49:58
The only guard on record to be fired...
