-Objection, Your Honor!
-Sustained.

1:17:04
Confine yourself to one question at a time.
1:17:06
ls it not true you ordered two guards to
throw Henri down a steel flight of stairs?

1:17:10
That you smashed his face
with a blackjack?

1:17:12
That you took a straight razor, sliced open
his ankle, hobbling him for life?

1:17:16
Answer the question!
1:17:17
Objection!
1:17:18
-He testified he didn't beat any prisoners.
-He's testified to a lot of things.

1:17:22
Are you aware that, in a federal court
system, perjury is a crime?

1:17:25
-You could go to jail!
-Young is on trial!

1:17:27
Mind you, young man, that Henri Young
is the one on trial here, not me!

1:17:31
l am a public servant!
l am not the bad guy!

1:17:34
l will not be treated the same way as this,
this lying, murdering...

1:17:37
...two-time loser!
1:17:39
Silence, Mr. Glenn!
1:17:40
Mr. Stamphill, you are perilously close
to contempt of this court!

1:17:45
You will proceed with caution!
ls that understood?

1:17:50
Temper, temper.
1:17:55
Would you care to withdraw
any testimony?

1:17:57
You wouldn't want somebody to testify
to the contrary, would you?

1:18:00
No. l would not withdraw any testimony...
1:18:03
...no matter what Henri Young
has told you.

1:18:06
l'm not talking about Henri Young.
Who would believe him?

1:18:10
Mr. Simpson, did you ever beat
this man, Henri Young?

1:18:13
Objection! This has no bearing.
1:18:14
No bearing? Beatings have a bearing
on a man's state of mind.

1:18:18
So does three years of darkness.
1:18:20
Do we need to be psychologists to know
that? You know that. l know you do.

1:18:24
Objection overruled.
1:18:25
Thank you, Your Honor.
1:18:27
Did you ever beat Henri Young
with a blackjack?

1:18:30
Yes.
1:18:31
Did you ever throw Henri Young
down a steel flight of stairs?

1:18:34
Yes, I did.
1:18:35
-You were ordered to do this?
-Yes, sir.

1:18:36
Tell us the name of the man...
1:18:38
...who was your superior who ordered you
to do these things.

1:18:41
Mr. Glenn.
1:18:42
You never went to Warden Humson
about these matters?

1:18:44
No, sir.
1:18:45
Thank you very much. l won't ask where
you got your bruises. l already know.

1:18:50
The prosecution would like to mark
for identification...

1:18:53
...the employment records
of Mr. Derek Simpson.

1:18:55
Do you recall...
1:18:57
...being suspended on November 4, 1936...
