1
00:01:11,514 --> 00:01:13,395
"It was the afternoon of September 8th."
2
00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:16,344
"The News Intelligencer, one of
St. Howard's three newspapers .."
3
00:01:16,444 --> 00:01:18,729
"Was cranking up as usual
for tomorrow morning's edition."
4
00:01:19,637 --> 00:01:22,383
"As usual it would print whatever its
editor Haven Allridge had decided."
5
00:01:22,716 --> 00:01:24,418
"Within the limits of
truth and decency."
6
00:01:24,859 --> 00:01:26,855
"Without fear, favor or
permission of anybody."
7
00:01:27,507 --> 00:01:30,398
"A good old American custom
called Freedom of the Press."
8
00:01:31,573 --> 00:01:32,906
"This day being Wednesday .."
9
00:01:33,006 --> 00:01:35,652
"Allridge was planning to spend the
evening with Peggy and Randy Stauton."
10
00:01:35,891 --> 00:01:37,576
"His daughter and son-in-law."
11
00:01:38,148 --> 00:01:41,391
"The Stautons lived in the county about
30 miles from the heart of St. Howard."
12
00:01:42,017 --> 00:01:44,518
"The Factory Creek bridge was
the boundary between the city .."
13
00:01:44,618 --> 00:01:46,998
"And the sprawling sparsely
settled county of Bridgewood."
14
00:01:47,995 --> 00:01:49,984
"It was a nice drive
on county Route 54."
15
00:01:50,922 --> 00:01:53,484
"The permanent campaign signs
of Bridgewood Sheriff Burke .."
16
00:01:53,584 --> 00:01:56,386
"Reminded voters who they could
thank for the newly paved highway."
17
00:01:57,402 --> 00:01:59,268
"The county seat was
the town of Bridgewood."
18
00:01:59,857 --> 00:02:02,232
"On the surface, like any other
small American community .."
19
00:02:02,332 --> 00:02:04,499
"It had its shops, its square,
its courthouse."
20
00:02:05,857 --> 00:02:07,706
"Randy, who was county prosecutor."
21
00:02:08,119 --> 00:02:11,401
"Had his office here and his car
was usually parked near the court."
22
00:02:11,979 --> 00:02:13,509
"He had probably gone home already."
23
00:02:15,311 --> 00:02:18,103
"The Stauton's house was in the
residential section on Saxbury Road."
24
00:02:18,282 --> 00:02:19,845
"A few blocks from the courthouse."
25
00:02:23,217 --> 00:02:24,417
"Yes. Randy was home."
26
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:26,399
"And so was Haven Allridge."
27
00:02:27,062 --> 00:02:29,070
"This was their story.
The story of a family."
28
00:02:30,493 --> 00:02:32,023
"And it could have happened to you."
29
00:02:34,442 --> 00:02:35,833
"An hour or so after dinner .."
30
00:02:35,933 --> 00:02:38,989
"Allridge left the Stautons to drive
to the office and put the paper to bed."
31
00:02:40,005 --> 00:02:41,907
"This was to be the
beginning of an experience."
32
00:02:42,087 --> 00:02:44,440
"A month in his life which
Allridge would never forget."
33
00:03:00,081 --> 00:03:01,227
No damage, mister.
34
00:03:01,537 --> 00:03:03,692
Mr Allridge, Willy. May I
give you a lift to the city?
35
00:03:03,870 --> 00:03:05,361
Good evening, Mr Allridge.
36
00:03:06,001 --> 00:03:07,502
It will be a real favor, I am sure.
37
00:03:18,566 --> 00:03:20,723
County buses never come
along when you want one.
38
00:03:21,274 --> 00:03:23,672
I don't guess you're going to
the building at this time of night?
39
00:03:23,772 --> 00:03:26,081
No. Just drop me off anywhere
after the bridge, Mr Allridge.
40
00:03:26,181 --> 00:03:26,910
Alright.
41
00:03:28,350 --> 00:03:29,708
I wonder who they are chasing.
42
00:03:48,749 --> 00:03:51,109
What's the trouble, officer?
- Let me see your driver's license.
43
00:03:53,514 --> 00:03:56,594
Sorry. I'm afraid I have left my
wallet in my office jacket.
44
00:03:56,801 --> 00:03:57,444
Yeah?
45
00:03:57,915 --> 00:03:58,860
How about you?
46
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,852
He is not driving.
- Give me your papers.
47
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,259
Trouble, Grayton?
48
00:04:10,435 --> 00:04:11,823
No driver's license, Sheriff.
49
00:04:12,510 --> 00:04:13,382
Get out, you.
50
00:04:25,211 --> 00:04:26,648
Look at old Cliff go.
51
00:04:26,930 --> 00:04:28,593
Boy, he must be loaded tonight.
52
00:04:29,014 --> 00:04:31,897
Sheriff, I can have my license
out here within an hour.
53
00:04:32,545 --> 00:04:34,132
Just about the time you get old Cliff.
54
00:04:37,556 --> 00:04:38,685
What's this all about?
55
00:04:39,171 --> 00:04:40,701
You're a city man, ain't you mister?
56
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:43,228
Out here we don't hold
court on the highway.
57
00:04:44,006 --> 00:04:44,849
Take him in.
58
00:04:56,776 --> 00:04:57,963
I want to use the phone.
59
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,462
Anything you want
to say you can tell us.
60
00:05:00,776 --> 00:05:02,287
Tank keys. Number 11.
61
00:05:05,076 --> 00:05:06,282
Sixty-eight bucks.
62
00:05:10,926 --> 00:05:13,032
Two dead moths. They starved to death.
63
00:05:13,504 --> 00:05:14,700
Okay, get going.
64
00:05:15,128 --> 00:05:16,945
Forgetting your license
isn't a jail offence.
65
00:05:17,419 --> 00:05:19,235
You know all about the law, don't you.
66
00:05:19,438 --> 00:05:20,633
An important man.
67
00:05:21,259 --> 00:05:22,367
A very important man.
68
00:05:22,799 --> 00:05:25,086
Okay, very important man. Who are you?
69
00:05:26,058 --> 00:05:26,844
A citizen.
70
00:05:27,635 --> 00:05:28,502
Who isn't?
71
00:05:29,534 --> 00:05:30,549
Take him, Cannell.
72
00:05:41,884 --> 00:05:44,542
The first two. Ain't nobody
driving cars tonight?
73
00:05:44,739 --> 00:05:45,715
How do I know.
74
00:05:47,387 --> 00:05:48,116
Come on.
75
00:05:55,864 --> 00:05:57,108
You get used to the smell.
76
00:05:57,968 --> 00:05:59,900
Keep moving.
You are going to court first.
77
00:06:00,231 --> 00:06:02,194
Well that's good news.
- The prisoners' court.
78
00:06:04,219 --> 00:06:05,256
A kangaroo court?
79
00:06:05,665 --> 00:06:07,374
In this state?
- In this county.
80
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:08,677
Let's go.
81
00:06:13,890 --> 00:06:15,620
A couple of new fish
for you, Little Jake.
82
00:06:41,435 --> 00:06:42,278
The big one.
83
00:06:44,491 --> 00:06:46,472
You. Wait over by the bunks.
84
00:06:49,514 --> 00:06:51,345
You. Stand against the wall.
85
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,164
Take your coat off.
86
00:06:59,655 --> 00:07:00,778
Take off your coat.
87
00:07:13,207 --> 00:07:14,602
Put your hands in them rings.
88
00:07:21,013 --> 00:07:23,659
You swear to tell the truth, and nothing
but the truth so help you, Burke?
89
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,005
Court is now in session.
90
00:07:25,105 --> 00:07:28,128
The charge is breaking and entering this
jail without the consent of Little Jake.
91
00:07:28,228 --> 00:07:29,407
What is the evidence?
92
00:07:29,507 --> 00:07:31,240
What's the evidence?
He's here, ain't he?
93
00:07:31,417 --> 00:07:32,187
Guilty.
94
00:07:32,412 --> 00:07:34,581
That's a fairer trial than you
will get tomorrow morning.
95
00:07:34,926 --> 00:07:36,170
See if he's got any dough.
96
00:07:40,907 --> 00:07:41,922
A buck and a half.
97
00:07:44,006 --> 00:07:45,889
I fine him a buck and a half buck costs.
98
00:07:46,363 --> 00:07:47,264
Next prisoner.
99
00:07:53,791 --> 00:07:55,809
Hey. This guy ain't got
nothing but a bus token.
100
00:07:56,561 --> 00:07:57,290
Hold it.
101
00:07:58,468 --> 00:08:00,245
He was hiding a quarter
in his vest pocket.
102
00:08:00,345 --> 00:08:00,999
Well.
103
00:08:01,434 --> 00:08:02,511
A smart man, huh?
104
00:08:03,509 --> 00:08:04,775
What do you say Cannell?
105
00:08:04,875 --> 00:08:06,049
You know the rules.
106
00:08:07,457 --> 00:08:08,272
Okay, boys.
107
00:08:20,370 --> 00:08:22,169
Send out for sandwiches
will you, Cannell.
108
00:08:22,269 --> 00:08:22,980
Yep.
109
00:08:30,305 --> 00:08:34,346
According to evidence presented you are
charged with obstructing a highway.
110
00:08:34,572 --> 00:08:35,580
You plead guilty?
111
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,612
I hauled my rig over to the shoulder.
- Changing a tyre, wasn't you?
112
00:08:38,983 --> 00:08:40,926
You saw it yourself.
My rig over on the shoulder.
113
00:08:41,026 --> 00:08:42,516
Don't argue with the Sheriff.
114
00:08:42,616 --> 00:08:43,937
Guilty or not-guilty?
115
00:08:46,627 --> 00:08:47,409
Guilty.
116
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:50,712
You should have thought of that in the
first place. Saved us all a lot of time.
117
00:08:51,537 --> 00:08:52,618
The fine will be ..
118
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:54,185
Fourteen dollars.
119
00:08:56,420 --> 00:08:58,067
I'll take a receipt for this. My boss ..
120
00:08:58,167 --> 00:09:01,051
You're walking out of here in one piece.
That's enough of a receipt for you.
121
00:09:01,151 --> 00:09:01,994
Who is next?
122
00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:06,871
Hey, you. You're up.
123
00:09:14,717 --> 00:09:15,757
What's the charge?
124
00:09:16,172 --> 00:09:19,594
County Ordinance 72.
Soliciting rides on highway.
125
00:09:20,181 --> 00:09:21,282
Guilty or not-guilty?
126
00:09:21,476 --> 00:09:24,002
I didn't ask for a ride.
I was waiting at a bus-stop.
127
00:09:24,211 --> 00:09:25,584
Here is his wallet. Not money.
128
00:09:26,089 --> 00:09:27,217
I had a bus token.
129
00:09:27,549 --> 00:09:29,395
I was waiting for the
bus when Mr Allridge ..
130
00:09:29,495 --> 00:09:31,445
Answer the question.
Guilty or not-guilty?
131
00:09:33,431 --> 00:09:34,389
Not-guilty, sir.
132
00:09:34,624 --> 00:09:36,859
If you plead not guilty you
will have to stand trial.
133
00:09:37,206 --> 00:09:38,513
Thirty days from this date.
134
00:09:38,793 --> 00:09:40,576
I remand you to the
custody of the Sheriff.
135
00:09:40,925 --> 00:09:41,768
Who is next?
136
00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:55,716
Call that man back. I will go his bail.
137
00:09:56,086 --> 00:09:59,381
He's got thirty days on the
labor gang. You want to do that?
138
00:09:59,575 --> 00:10:01,592
But he had no idea he was
breaking your ordinance.
139
00:10:01,821 --> 00:10:03,409
Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
140
00:10:03,718 --> 00:10:04,821
You're doing alright.
141
00:10:05,906 --> 00:10:07,588
One more funny crack, mister.
142
00:10:07,803 --> 00:10:09,990
And you'll be back in the
crib on contempt charges.
143
00:10:10,526 --> 00:10:12,439
What's the charge on this fellow, K.C.?
144
00:10:12,972 --> 00:10:16,902
No license. Damaging county property.
Running from the scene of an accident.
145
00:10:17,127 --> 00:10:18,028
What accident?
146
00:10:18,319 --> 00:10:21,475
You backed your car into the
marker at Saxbury bus stop.
147
00:10:21,831 --> 00:10:24,305
What kind of a home-made law is that?
- Quiet, you.
148
00:10:24,850 --> 00:10:26,413
Remember the dignity of the court.
149
00:10:26,939 --> 00:10:27,954
I find you guilty.
150
00:10:28,328 --> 00:10:29,737
The fine will be 50 dollars.
151
00:10:31,972 --> 00:10:35,598
And 18 dollars costs.
That will 68 dollars total.
152
00:10:36,507 --> 00:10:37,980
There is a lawyer of you want him.
153
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,319
A little late to get legal, isn't it?
154
00:10:40,728 --> 00:10:43,102
Why didn't you tell us who you was?
155
00:10:43,385 --> 00:10:46,783
We never would have hauled you in if
I'd known you was kin to Randy Stauton.
156
00:10:48,465 --> 00:10:50,225
I didn't know. Until now ..
157
00:10:50,413 --> 00:10:54,186
That there was a special kind of law for
fathers-in-law of county prosecutors.
158
00:10:54,602 --> 00:10:57,660
I thought the same law covered
truck drivers, salesmen and ..
159
00:10:58,207 --> 00:10:59,136
Candy peddlers.
160
00:10:59,813 --> 00:11:03,382
Last night the kangaroo court in your
jail fined me a dollar and a half.
161
00:11:03,909 --> 00:11:08,172
The only difference I see between that
court and this is 66 dollars, 50 cents.
162
00:11:09,383 --> 00:11:10,116
Burke.
163
00:11:10,369 --> 00:11:13,909
I'm going to skin this tin badge
off that floppy shirt of yours ..
164
00:11:14,009 --> 00:11:15,581
If it's the last thing I do.
165
00:11:16,304 --> 00:11:17,534
It's been tried before.
166
00:11:22,144 --> 00:11:23,366
It will be tried again.
167
00:11:27,338 --> 00:11:29,866
Goodnight, son. Sleep tight.
- Sweet dreams.
168
00:11:30,645 --> 00:11:31,321
Randy.
169
00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:35,023
I've got to ask you to do something.
- Anything you need, dad. You know that.
170
00:11:35,575 --> 00:11:37,350
No. This isn't personal. It's official.
171
00:11:37,702 --> 00:11:38,392
Shoot.
172
00:11:38,875 --> 00:11:41,875
This rough-riding Sheriff of yours
has got to be blasted out of office.
173
00:11:42,074 --> 00:11:44,172
And it is on your doorstep.
- What can I do?
174
00:11:44,501 --> 00:11:45,884
You're the county prosecutor.
175
00:11:45,984 --> 00:11:48,029
Go to the Grand Jury for
an indictment against Burke.
176
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,726
No. It wouldn't work.
- Why not?
177
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,814
Because there is an election coming up.
178
00:11:52,102 --> 00:11:55,636
They'd stall hearings until after their
boys chewed my ears off at the polls.
179
00:11:55,736 --> 00:11:57,626
And then their new boy
would quash the charge.
180
00:11:57,961 --> 00:11:59,062
Why were you elected?
181
00:11:59,347 --> 00:12:00,611
To hold a job, or do one?
182
00:12:00,778 --> 00:12:02,951
Dad, these things take time.
- Time for what?
183
00:12:03,383 --> 00:12:05,958
For another hundred Willy Jacksons
to be beaten up like animals?
184
00:12:06,238 --> 00:12:08,548
Time for Burke and his gang
to spread out of their county ..
185
00:12:08,648 --> 00:12:10,260
And move on to the city and the state?
186
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,317
No. Time to ..
187
00:12:12,846 --> 00:12:13,624
Marcia.
188
00:12:16,562 --> 00:12:19,316
Marcia, you little monkey.
Climb right back in that bed.
189
00:12:19,724 --> 00:12:21,197
Dad, I wish you'd listen to Randy.
190
00:12:21,555 --> 00:12:23,543
Do you remember all that
fuss about that Tom Kenny?
191
00:12:23,893 --> 00:12:25,192
Randy was right then.
192
00:12:26,015 --> 00:12:29,318
Tom Kenny was a dead man who looked
murdered. My information was that.
193
00:12:30,492 --> 00:12:33,579
But Willy Jackson is alive and I saw
what happened to him with my own eyes.
194
00:12:34,004 --> 00:12:36,193
I still say he knows these
men better than you do.
195
00:12:36,577 --> 00:12:38,279
You both have to do
what you think right.
196
00:12:38,661 --> 00:12:41,166
Randy is not a newspaper man.
He's a public official.
197
00:12:41,342 --> 00:12:44,178
She's right, dad. These men are
dangerous. We're thinking of you.
198
00:12:44,412 --> 00:12:45,398
Look, youngsters.
199
00:12:45,549 --> 00:12:48,330
When I cashed my first 12 dollar
check as a kid reporter ..
200
00:12:48,530 --> 00:12:52,028
I took on the newspaperman's job chore
of playing watchdog to a free society.
201
00:12:52,275 --> 00:12:55,499
And it is my job to bark my lungs out
when I see a burglar prowling around.
202
00:12:55,599 --> 00:12:57,580
And believe you and me,
I'm just getting tuned up.
203
00:12:58,069 --> 00:13:00,057
Well, as an editor you are
a hundred percent right.
204
00:13:00,332 --> 00:13:02,086
But my job is staying in office.
205
00:13:02,820 --> 00:13:04,933
Your job is to carry on your
obligations to the public.
206
00:13:07,916 --> 00:13:10,723
I'll show you and bite off that
pretty pink nose of yours.
207
00:13:12,113 --> 00:13:13,271
Sorry I blew off, kids.
208
00:13:14,873 --> 00:13:16,887
That's enough Marcia.
It's bedtime for the dolls.
209
00:13:17,085 --> 00:13:18,358
Give grandpa his bunny hug.
210
00:13:19,404 --> 00:13:20,533
Goodnight, sweetheart.
211
00:13:20,775 --> 00:13:21,605
Off you go.
212
00:13:21,998 --> 00:13:23,021
Goodnight, Marcia.
213
00:13:23,998 --> 00:13:26,173
Dad, we all have to blow off sometime.
214
00:13:26,911 --> 00:13:29,453
Don't worry. Someday we'll
get Burke and Tarsson.
215
00:13:29,794 --> 00:13:31,324
It won't be easy but we'll get them.
216
00:13:31,972 --> 00:13:34,429
Right now I think you are
being sensible to let it drop.
217
00:13:34,944 --> 00:13:35,979
Let it drop?
218
00:13:36,911 --> 00:13:37,971
Not on your life.
219
00:13:38,986 --> 00:13:40,690
These hoods think they
are nice and safe.
220
00:13:41,207 --> 00:13:43,746
But there is one court that can
burn even Burke's tail feathers.
221
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,230
Public opinion.
222
00:13:45,489 --> 00:13:48,112
And Grandpa has got just
the blowtorch to heat it up.
223
00:13:49,047 --> 00:13:51,149
Put your gloves on before
you pick up tomorrow's paper.
224
00:13:52,436 --> 00:13:54,306
"So Haven Allridge went
back to the paper .."
225
00:13:54,406 --> 00:13:56,886
"And threw the libel laws out of
the window and started to blast."
226
00:14:38,746 --> 00:14:40,661
"The case of Sam Slaper
was a tip-off that .."
227
00:14:40,761 --> 00:14:43,187
"The cash-and-carry court had
a lot of dissatisfied customers."
228
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:45,541
"The speed trap was only a beginning."
229
00:14:45,798 --> 00:14:47,720
"Gambling had long
been illegal in our state .."
230
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:50,546
"But according to Slaper,
a service station attendant by day."
231
00:14:50,893 --> 00:14:53,335
"Amboy's was more than a
dine and dance roadhouse."
232
00:14:53,435 --> 00:14:55,761
Those guys are loaded. I knew it.
I've been trying all night.
233
00:14:55,861 --> 00:14:59,674
"Slaper stated a pair of house dice were
heavier on one side than the other."
234
00:15:00,181 --> 00:15:03,392
"He was shown his error by a
conviction for disturbing the peace."
235
00:15:05,452 --> 00:15:07,696
"A disgruntled horse
player supplied to Allridge .."
236
00:15:08,005 --> 00:15:10,625
"The details of how the bookies
serviced the city of St. Howard .."
237
00:15:10,725 --> 00:15:12,891
"From behind the safe
refuge of the county line."
238
00:15:13,633 --> 00:15:15,973
"The parents of 12 high
school boys blew the whistle .."
239
00:15:16,073 --> 00:15:18,538
"On the dime-bet bookie joint
behind Bridgewood high school."
240
00:15:18,903 --> 00:15:20,925
"Where the kids had been
losing their lunch money."
241
00:15:21,608 --> 00:15:25,181
"Several men who were unfortunate enough
to go to county court without money."
242
00:15:25,649 --> 00:15:29,658
"Reported their experiences with the
Burke/Tarsson version of public works."
243
00:15:30,518 --> 00:15:33,015
"Day by day the blowtorch burned
brighter and was getting hotter."
244
00:15:33,474 --> 00:15:35,612
"The court of public opinion
was beginning to flame."
245
00:15:36,254 --> 00:15:37,983
"And Burke had to put out the fire."
246
00:15:54,927 --> 00:15:57,087
Okay, folks. Kindly step back please.
247
00:15:57,664 --> 00:16:00,101
Step back. That's the way.
Now hold your places there please.
248
00:16:01,932 --> 00:16:03,860
Keep back please. That's the way.
249
00:16:08,146 --> 00:16:09,860
You know who did it?
- Who do you think?
250
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,610
Burke's stooge wanted a description.
251
00:16:12,242 --> 00:16:14,904
Mr Allridge, you know
Captain Maxwell, river precinct?
252
00:16:15,132 --> 00:16:16,953
Since he walked the beat.
How are you, Buck?
253
00:16:17,132 --> 00:16:18,024
Fine thanks.
254
00:16:18,124 --> 00:16:20,610
You getting along with your model cop?
- What do you mean "cop"?
255
00:16:20,910 --> 00:16:23,179
He's just a cheap election
fixer with a star on his shirt ..
256
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:24,892
And a gang of war heroes for deputies.
257
00:16:25,098 --> 00:16:27,057
Please don't call him a cop.
- I was only kidding.
258
00:16:27,288 --> 00:16:27,966
Chief.
259
00:16:28,196 --> 00:16:31,548
Mr Mayor, this is no longer a private
fight between Burke and The News.
260
00:16:32,183 --> 00:16:36,065
First, an ordinance forbidding delivery
of newspapers outside daylight hours.
261
00:16:36,301 --> 00:16:39,925
Yesterday, they stopped us bringing our
newsprint in over the county highway.
262
00:16:40,567 --> 00:16:42,758
This wreck is just
their topper for today.
263
00:16:43,306 --> 00:16:44,286
Now, what next?
264
00:16:44,536 --> 00:16:46,302
Well, it's no field day for us either.
265
00:16:46,682 --> 00:16:49,434
Ask Buck. It's his precinct
that's taken the beating.
266
00:16:50,094 --> 00:16:52,832
You tell us something we can do
and we'll give you a monument.
267
00:16:52,932 --> 00:16:55,149
Haven, you know the city
hasn't an ounce of authority ..
268
00:16:55,249 --> 00:16:57,190
When it gets two inches
beyond that county sign.
269
00:16:57,639 --> 00:16:58,654
But the state has.
270
00:16:59,033 --> 00:17:00,375
Andy. Walt.
271
00:17:00,662 --> 00:17:02,485
I want you fellows to
appeal to the capital.
272
00:17:02,917 --> 00:17:06,413
Try to get the state's attorney general
send down a special prosecutor.
273
00:17:07,721 --> 00:17:11,243
Bridgewood county delivers 18,000 votes
on the barrel head every election.
274
00:17:11,868 --> 00:17:13,770
And who do you think delivers
Bridgewood county?
275
00:17:14,493 --> 00:17:15,214
Burke.
276
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:21,074
"You couldn't blame Maxwell
for feeling a little cynical."
277
00:17:21,925 --> 00:17:24,153
"But counties don't deliver
the conscience of a state."
278
00:17:24,792 --> 00:17:26,910
"The conscience of my state
had already been aroused."
279
00:17:27,113 --> 00:17:30,925
"When clippings from Allridge's articles
came to the capital in every mail."
280
00:17:31,772 --> 00:17:33,616
"A file was laid on
the desk of my boss."
281
00:17:33,716 --> 00:17:36,536
"The attorney general's assistant
in charge of the trial section."
282
00:17:37,051 --> 00:17:38,409
"And that is where I came in."
283
00:17:40,084 --> 00:17:41,090
How is his mood?
284
00:17:41,380 --> 00:17:43,521
Don't be silly, Chick.
Only people have moods.
285
00:17:50,951 --> 00:17:53,070
Mr Johnson is coming in now.
Goodbye, sir.
286
00:17:53,707 --> 00:17:55,526
That was the attorney general.
- Uhuh.
287
00:17:55,865 --> 00:17:56,916
Mr Morrison.
288
00:17:57,372 --> 00:18:00,897
I want to tell you how much I've enjoyed
working with you over the last 4 years.
289
00:18:01,210 --> 00:18:03,169
He wants us to take action
on a civil rights case.
290
00:18:03,522 --> 00:18:06,676
And how deeply I regret having to submit
my resignation from the department.
291
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,159
Up in Bridgewood County.
292
00:18:08,848 --> 00:18:12,428
I saw you lunching with Dan Bayliss
last week. You going to work for him?
293
00:18:12,620 --> 00:18:14,839
That's what I've been shooting
for ever since I came here.
294
00:18:15,583 --> 00:18:19,655
You will go up to St. Howard tonight
on the flyer. Contact Captain Maxwell.
295
00:18:20,534 --> 00:18:23,852
The St. Howard Police Department is
loaning him to us as an investigator.
296
00:18:24,232 --> 00:18:25,803
He knows all the local people there.
297
00:18:26,034 --> 00:18:28,967
Hold on a minute, Mr Morrison.
I don't work here anymore, remember?
298
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:31,803
You will work here until
I accept your resignation.
299
00:18:32,242 --> 00:18:35,012
I have a lot of things to clean up.
I must get my cases ready for turnover.
300
00:18:35,218 --> 00:18:37,529
The editor .. whatsisname?
301
00:18:38,532 --> 00:18:43,320
They have accumulated enough evidence
to build up a section 21 indictment ..
302
00:18:43,731 --> 00:18:44,930
On a dozen counts.
303
00:18:46,072 --> 00:18:48,402
You can put in the wheres and
wherefores in two weeks.
304
00:18:48,627 --> 00:18:50,349
What happens if the case stretches out?
305
00:18:50,980 --> 00:18:52,808
Bayliss talked to Stan
Walters too you know.
306
00:18:52,908 --> 00:18:56,119
What you are being hired for is what you
are taking away from this department.
307
00:18:56,874 --> 00:18:59,622
You owe the department a duty
and you'll pay it in St. Howard.
308
00:19:00,347 --> 00:19:03,341
Your job finishes when the Grand
Jury returns an indictment.
309
00:19:03,734 --> 00:19:04,606
Or a No Bill.
310
00:19:05,990 --> 00:19:07,235
Okay. Okay.
311
00:19:09,163 --> 00:19:11,100
Can I stay in a decent hotel this time?
312
00:19:11,897 --> 00:19:14,579
Three weeks from now Bayliss
can buy you a suite in the Ritz.
313
00:19:15,014 --> 00:19:18,007
But until that time you are on
the regular state per diem.
314
00:19:26,412 --> 00:19:27,417
Mr Morrison.
315
00:19:28,224 --> 00:19:30,556
I didn't mean to get personal
but you must know how I feel.
316
00:19:31,263 --> 00:19:33,584
You've been knocking yourself
out here for the last 31 years.
317
00:19:33,684 --> 00:19:35,247
And what have you got to show for it?
318
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:41,617
That is something you will have
to find out for yourself, Charles.
319
00:19:42,537 --> 00:19:44,874
When you do, maybe you
will make a good lawyer.
320
00:19:46,528 --> 00:19:48,979
Well, don't just stand there.
You've got a train to catch.
321
00:19:59,054 --> 00:20:00,482
Mr Johnson?
- I'm Johnson.
322
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,753
Are you Captain Maxwell?
- Yeah.
323
00:20:03,001 --> 00:20:04,932
Glad to meet you.
You're certainly an early bird.
324
00:20:05,198 --> 00:20:07,142
Burke is an early worm.
- The earlier the better.
325
00:20:07,414 --> 00:20:10,165
I'd like to set up this hearing and be
out of here by the first of the month.
326
00:20:10,410 --> 00:20:11,768
It may not be such a pushover.
327
00:20:12,020 --> 00:20:13,607
You haven't seen this morning's paper.
328
00:20:20,196 --> 00:20:21,895
Dropped out kind of sudden, didn't they?
329
00:20:22,328 --> 00:20:24,458
The man who was riding them
dropped out even suddener.
330
00:20:25,459 --> 00:20:26,986
Was he bought off or scared off?
331
00:20:27,534 --> 00:20:29,451
That's a fool thing to say
about Haven Allridge.
332
00:20:29,551 --> 00:20:30,852
A lot of chips on the table.
333
00:20:31,196 --> 00:20:32,753
Any report why he dropped out?
334
00:20:33,810 --> 00:20:34,511
Yep.
335
00:20:35,127 --> 00:20:37,498
At 2 o'clock this morning
he phoned the city editor ..
336
00:20:37,598 --> 00:20:39,643
That he had to take a vacation
because of his health.
337
00:20:39,967 --> 00:20:41,497
Which his doctor doesn't know about.
338
00:20:42,437 --> 00:20:45,301
Then he woke up his daughter to say he
had to leave town on urgent business.
339
00:20:45,401 --> 00:20:47,131
Which is news to his
publisher and lawyer.
340
00:20:48,625 --> 00:20:49,812
Well, we won't need him.
341
00:20:50,089 --> 00:20:52,456
All we really need is that mess
of leads and evidence he filed.
342
00:20:52,556 --> 00:20:54,249
I can still be out of here by the first.
343
00:20:54,454 --> 00:20:55,841
Whether or not your nail Burke?
344
00:20:56,163 --> 00:20:57,436
Don't worry. I'll nail him.
345
00:20:58,970 --> 00:21:01,892
Now where do you suppose Allridge kept
his evidence? That is if he had any.
346
00:21:08,276 --> 00:21:10,979
You might be interested in this. It was
here in his typewriter when he left.
347
00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:15,413
55. Wilfred Jackson. 55.
348
00:21:15,632 --> 00:21:18,139
Affidavits from 55 cash
and carry victims.
349
00:21:18,844 --> 00:21:21,744
It looks like he planned to stop these
articles when he left here last night.
350
00:21:23,109 --> 00:21:25,091
He made a string of
appointments for today too.
351
00:21:25,191 --> 00:21:27,147
Is it alright if we borrow
these for a few days?
352
00:21:27,247 --> 00:21:27,890
Sure.
353
00:21:28,045 --> 00:21:30,921
What I'm really interested
in are those 55 affidavits 55.
354
00:21:31,885 --> 00:21:33,152
That's no problem.
355
00:21:33,894 --> 00:21:35,764
Tell me, was Allridge a heavy drinker?
356
00:21:36,350 --> 00:21:39,777
You picture he's one of those dreamboy
reporters racing round stealing photos.
357
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,247
With his coat collar turned
up and his hat brim down.
358
00:21:42,843 --> 00:21:44,306
And a pint in every pocket.
359
00:21:45,167 --> 00:21:48,442
Always wanted to meet one of those but
I never got far enough from the paper.
360
00:21:48,648 --> 00:21:51,068
So he isn't out of town
losing a ten-day weekend?
361
00:21:51,324 --> 00:21:53,569
Not Mr Allridge. Here we are.
362
00:21:54,892 --> 00:21:55,883
That's funny.
363
00:21:56,991 --> 00:21:59,727
I saw him put that folder back in the
drawer and lock it before he went out.
364
00:22:00,812 --> 00:22:03,309
Does your night elevator
man sign people in and out?
365
00:22:03,939 --> 00:22:04,840
Just a minute.
366
00:22:11,916 --> 00:22:12,588
Sandy?
367
00:22:13,005 --> 00:22:15,535
Did Mr Allridge come back into
the building after I left last night?
368
00:22:15,939 --> 00:22:17,040
Take a look will you.
369
00:22:18,355 --> 00:22:19,099
Thanks.
370
00:22:21,113 --> 00:22:23,906
He came back in about 2:40 am
and left ten minutes later.
371
00:22:24,399 --> 00:22:26,343
What do you suppose he
did with those affidavits?
372
00:22:27,069 --> 00:22:29,548
He's probably holed up somewhere
putting together a mop-up story ..
373
00:22:29,648 --> 00:22:31,739
That'll blow Burke and
company right out their shoes.
374
00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:33,315
I hope he is a speed typist.
375
00:22:39,725 --> 00:22:41,295
Nellie. Nellie.
376
00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:46,130
What are you doing out of the
courthouse at this time of day?
377
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,872
We've got to do something or
I'm going to break it my way.
378
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:50,116
Got to?
379
00:22:50,421 --> 00:22:51,236
About what?
380
00:22:51,801 --> 00:22:54,285
This smart kid from the
attorney general's office.
381
00:22:55,153 --> 00:22:58,792
He arrives this morning on the flier and
right away he starts smelling around.
382
00:22:59,566 --> 00:23:00,209
Well?
383
00:23:01,064 --> 00:23:02,425
Well, we got to do something.
384
00:23:03,768 --> 00:23:05,241
You're worried, aren't you, Burke.
385
00:23:05,566 --> 00:23:06,417
Why not?
386
00:23:06,825 --> 00:23:09,074
With State house guys
crawling all over us.
387
00:23:09,604 --> 00:23:12,670
And the only rebuttal you can
think of is a gun or a blackjack.
388
00:23:13,041 --> 00:23:15,318
These State Capital guys.
They ain't got any handles on them.
389
00:23:16,088 --> 00:23:17,994
Perhaps we can put a handle on this one.
390
00:23:18,464 --> 00:23:19,769
You ain't even seen the guy.
391
00:23:20,262 --> 00:23:21,384
He's human, isn't he?
392
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:24,116
Pass the word to be
careful for a few days.
393
00:23:24,478 --> 00:23:26,976
Put the covers on the tables,
lay off the highways.
394
00:23:27,415 --> 00:23:29,389
Take the re-men off the labor gang.
395
00:23:31,002 --> 00:23:32,824
Keep your blackjack in your pocket.
396
00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:36,478
Play it my way.
397
00:23:53,077 --> 00:23:55,122
What do you have that's
good for sore feet?
398
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,727
More bourbon, less walking.
399
00:23:57,418 --> 00:23:58,408
With plain water.
400
00:24:02,375 --> 00:24:03,070
Say.
401
00:24:03,512 --> 00:24:05,577
What does a guy do with
an evening in St. Howard?
402
00:24:05,887 --> 00:24:07,399
That is without walking.
403
00:24:08,901 --> 00:24:09,615
Well.
404
00:24:22,233 --> 00:24:23,669
You saving this for somebody?
405
00:24:24,449 --> 00:24:25,681
Yes. You.
406
00:24:27,792 --> 00:24:28,525
Light?
407
00:24:35,653 --> 00:24:37,944
Now you're going to say a
little more than that, aren't you?
408
00:24:38,044 --> 00:24:41,721
All day long I've walked around the city
talking to people who won't talk to me.
409
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,599
It's getting me down.
- Really?
410
00:24:44,479 --> 00:24:46,593
Did anybody ever tell your
fortune with ice-cubes?
411
00:24:47,159 --> 00:24:48,117
Like tea leaves.
412
00:24:48,624 --> 00:24:51,675
These ice-cubes tell me we've
been wasting a lot of valuable time.
413
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:55,823
Cute little ice-cubes.
414
00:24:56,345 --> 00:24:58,576
They are working themselves
around to a great big idea.
415
00:25:00,321 --> 00:25:02,738
They suggest you waste a little more
time and have dinner with me.
416
00:25:03,288 --> 00:25:05,132
The cubes aren't very clear on that.
417
00:25:05,889 --> 00:25:07,759
Come now. Let's approach this sanely.
418
00:25:09,288 --> 00:25:11,235
Here I am, a lonely
guy in a strange city.
419
00:25:11,550 --> 00:25:12,478
Here are you.
420
00:25:12,578 --> 00:25:15,967
The most beautiful, most glamorous, most
exciting woman in the whole wide bar.
421
00:25:16,831 --> 00:25:19,395
Why Mr Johnson, how you do rattle on.
422
00:25:20,370 --> 00:25:21,144
You know.
423
00:25:22,164 --> 00:25:25,780
These ice-cubes reveal more than I knew.
They've even got my name on them.
424
00:25:26,683 --> 00:25:28,726
Maybe you are not wasting
your time after all.
425
00:25:29,970 --> 00:25:31,651
I really blew that one wide open.
426
00:25:32,815 --> 00:25:35,413
Well, as I always say.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
427
00:25:36,298 --> 00:25:39,147
Ill-gotten gains are the
devil's form of waste.
428
00:25:39,561 --> 00:25:40,693
Waste not, want not.
429
00:25:42,810 --> 00:25:43,829
I'll think of one.
430
00:25:44,384 --> 00:25:45,946
Don't. I ran out too.
431
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,265
What did Burke want
you to get out of me?
432
00:26:05,513 --> 00:26:07,983
Get friendly. Have you come to Amboy's.
433
00:26:10,246 --> 00:26:12,055
Is that all? There must be more.
434
00:26:12,257 --> 00:26:13,695
You are to make a date with me.
435
00:26:13,795 --> 00:26:14,993
Or to meet at Amboy's.
436
00:26:15,307 --> 00:26:16,969
Burke is there, Tarsson is there.
437
00:26:17,235 --> 00:26:18,708
We all play drop the handkerchief.
438
00:26:19,188 --> 00:26:20,709
Could you think of something else?
439
00:26:21,829 --> 00:26:22,754
Well, yeah.
440
00:26:24,909 --> 00:26:25,700
Okay.
441
00:26:27,154 --> 00:26:29,647
Well maybe we'd better play
it their way. Dinner at Amboy's.
442
00:26:30,009 --> 00:26:30,938
No.
- Why not?
443
00:26:31,568 --> 00:26:33,298
Very smoky. Bad air.
You wouldn't like it.
444
00:26:33,558 --> 00:26:34,659
I don't breathe much.
445
00:26:35,708 --> 00:26:36,980
I'll try it another way.
446
00:26:37,997 --> 00:26:39,682
I wouldn't want to pick up your pieces.
447
00:26:40,805 --> 00:26:43,090
Are you being nice to me
by some strange reason?
448
00:26:43,473 --> 00:26:44,688
It's part of our service.
449
00:26:45,201 --> 00:26:46,683
I'll say this, you are a new type.
450
00:26:48,018 --> 00:26:49,883
It's confusing isn't it.
- Yeah.
451
00:26:50,882 --> 00:26:52,949
I know this won't make
much sense to you but ..
452
00:26:53,773 --> 00:26:54,874
Don't come out there.
453
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:58,010
Look. We've all got an
angle. You, Burke and I.
454
00:27:00,112 --> 00:27:01,538
What are you smiling about?
455
00:27:01,990 --> 00:27:03,081
I was just thinking.
456
00:27:03,539 --> 00:27:06,242
It would have been kind of nice if I'd
have really come in here by accident.
457
00:27:06,581 --> 00:27:08,454
But then you would have
lit your own cigarette.
458
00:27:08,854 --> 00:27:09,652
Would I?
459
00:27:10,121 --> 00:27:11,702
And would you have let that stop you?
460
00:27:12,478 --> 00:27:13,858
I don't think so.
461
00:27:33,763 --> 00:27:35,059
I don't see Amboy's.
462
00:27:37,951 --> 00:27:40,190
It's another ten miles out on Route 54.
463
00:27:40,510 --> 00:27:41,868
This is where you switch cabs.
464
00:27:41,968 --> 00:27:44,181
What do you mean, switch cabs?
What's wrong with this one?
465
00:27:44,281 --> 00:27:45,642
Look mister, I'm a city hack.
466
00:27:46,011 --> 00:27:48,016
If I try busting over onto
Burke's territory ..
467
00:27:48,116 --> 00:27:50,871
I end up in the clink with a
busted noggin and no dough.
468
00:27:51,368 --> 00:27:52,621
So, you switch cabs.
469
00:27:53,828 --> 00:27:56,486
This is a new twist.
He hasn't missed a bet.
470
00:27:58,434 --> 00:27:59,844
Let's chance it. Keep driving.
471
00:28:00,612 --> 00:28:03,287
You sound like you never had your dome
creased with the deputy's blackjack.
472
00:28:03,659 --> 00:28:04,996
Be a nice fellow, mister.
473
00:28:05,096 --> 00:28:07,828
Take one of them county cabs and
save everybody a lot of trouble.
474
00:28:09,546 --> 00:28:10,275
Alright.
475
00:28:16,073 --> 00:28:18,725
"Them that's good, them that's mean."
476
00:28:19,012 --> 00:28:21,182
"Them that's somewhere in between."
477
00:28:21,282 --> 00:28:23,646
"But it looks to me
from what I've seen."
478
00:28:23,881 --> 00:28:26,726
"That if you can't do wrong, do right."
479
00:28:27,608 --> 00:28:30,065
"Look at that gal, Delilah."
480
00:28:30,744 --> 00:28:32,503
"She had them all in a spin."
481
00:28:33,724 --> 00:28:35,589
"Then the mighty Samson."
482
00:28:36,758 --> 00:28:38,674
A guy could get himself
fired doing that.
483
00:28:38,890 --> 00:28:40,781
A beautiful thought, Jack.
Only she is my wife.
484
00:28:40,974 --> 00:28:42,383
Let it be a warning to you.
485
00:28:42,609 --> 00:28:44,630
"Just one road for you and me."
486
00:28:45,373 --> 00:28:49,147
"He said no, he's lost the fight
because you can't do wrong .."
487
00:28:49,776 --> 00:28:51,898
"When you're doing right."
488
00:29:05,581 --> 00:29:06,496
Hello there.
489
00:29:06,848 --> 00:29:08,813
Is there something you'd
like me to play for you?
490
00:29:09,046 --> 00:29:11,148
I thought I told you not to come here.
- Do you know ..
491
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:12,793
"You are all I need"?
492
00:29:12,893 --> 00:29:14,470
I told you I have my angle.
493
00:29:14,859 --> 00:29:16,481
Maybe these characters have theirs.
494
00:29:16,768 --> 00:29:18,298
That's just what I want to find out.
495
00:29:18,871 --> 00:29:20,787
Whatever it is you lose,
why don't you go.
496
00:29:21,069 --> 00:29:22,974
Darling, not while you're
playing our song.
497
00:29:24,580 --> 00:29:25,824
Good evening, Miss Bethel.
498
00:29:26,695 --> 00:29:28,225
You are playing beautifully tonight.
499
00:29:28,507 --> 00:29:30,482
Any friend of mine should
be a friend of yours.
500
00:29:31,342 --> 00:29:32,071
Alright.
501
00:29:32,220 --> 00:29:34,236
Mr Tarsson, meet Mr Johnson.
502
00:29:34,474 --> 00:29:35,233
Johnson?
503
00:29:35,333 --> 00:29:38,153
Mr Charles Johnson from the capital?
What a pleasant coincidence.
504
00:29:38,517 --> 00:29:40,365
You mean it's a small world?
- Exactly.
505
00:29:40,947 --> 00:29:42,896
Some people were asking
about you only today.
506
00:29:43,426 --> 00:29:45,444
Funny. I've been asking
some people about you too.
507
00:29:46,374 --> 00:29:48,700
If you gentlemen would
like to dance I'll excuse you.
508
00:29:49,004 --> 00:29:50,507
Would you spare it my dear?
509
00:29:51,088 --> 00:29:52,723
We could have a little private talk.
510
00:30:03,194 --> 00:30:04,571
Get lost, greasy.
511
00:30:09,777 --> 00:30:10,961
Sit down, Mr Johnson.
512
00:30:11,317 --> 00:30:12,561
Make yourself comfortable.
513
00:30:15,382 --> 00:30:16,054
Cigar?
514
00:30:16,481 --> 00:30:17,892
No thanks. What's on your mind?
515
00:30:19,213 --> 00:30:23,244
Suppose we consider this a pre-trial
conference between opposing counsel.
516
00:30:23,535 --> 00:30:26,124
In an attempt to find
areas of agreement ..
517
00:30:26,825 --> 00:30:27,764
May I ask.
518
00:30:30,027 --> 00:30:33,804
May I ask Mr Johnson what charges
you intend to lay against my client?
519
00:30:35,732 --> 00:30:38,320
According to the writings of one
Haven Allridge in Bridgewood County ..
520
00:30:38,420 --> 00:30:40,883
It is not etiquette to tell a
defendant what he's charged with.
521
00:30:43,221 --> 00:30:44,273
The same?
- Yep.
522
00:30:44,609 --> 00:30:45,747
My usual, Ben.
523
00:30:49,191 --> 00:30:53,290
Mr Allridge was guilty of using his
paper to air purely personal grievances.
524
00:30:53,576 --> 00:30:54,579
You say he was.
525
00:30:55,285 --> 00:30:58,534
He seems to have discontinued
his foul attacks, but ..
526
00:30:59,185 --> 00:31:00,572
We are getting off the subject.
527
00:31:00,988 --> 00:31:01,631
Well.
528
00:31:02,293 --> 00:31:04,368
I am asking an indictment
of Burke and his deputies ..
529
00:31:04,468 --> 00:31:06,894
On the basis of Section 21
of the revised penal code.
530
00:31:07,070 --> 00:31:08,666
If any officer ..
- Of the law ..
531
00:31:08,766 --> 00:31:12,882
Wilfully deprives any citizen of any
rights or privileges or guarantees etc.
532
00:31:13,967 --> 00:31:15,995
That's out of the
old territorial statutes.
533
00:31:16,502 --> 00:31:17,977
It's still in the books isn't it.
534
00:31:18,286 --> 00:31:20,812
But any such charges
of course be baseless.
535
00:31:21,206 --> 00:31:23,370
There are none of those
restraints in Bridgewood County.
536
00:31:23,901 --> 00:31:25,986
Why did I have to switch
cabs at the county line?
537
00:31:27,597 --> 00:31:28,926
A highway safety ordinance.
538
00:31:32,725 --> 00:31:33,663
Mr Johnson.
539
00:31:34,218 --> 00:31:36,455
Under our unfortunate judicial system.
540
00:31:37,448 --> 00:31:41,679
Accusations of crimes can be as damaging
to my client's name as convictions.
541
00:31:42,182 --> 00:31:44,629
Funny. That was one of the things
Haven Allridge was beefing about.
542
00:31:44,998 --> 00:31:46,777
And the way you keep
talking about clients.
543
00:31:47,792 --> 00:31:49,551
You are going to be
a client too, you know.
544
00:31:50,463 --> 00:31:53,870
Mr Johnson, my clients
and I are sensitive men.
545
00:31:54,538 --> 00:31:55,324
We have ..
546
00:31:55,665 --> 00:31:57,586
Have reputations in the community.
547
00:31:58,356 --> 00:32:01,101
Although we are innocent of your
charges we wish to avoid the ..
548
00:32:01,773 --> 00:32:03,201
Difficulties of a trial.
549
00:32:08,374 --> 00:32:09,443
Mr Johnson.
550
00:32:09,785 --> 00:32:12,110
You have impressed me
as an alert young man.
551
00:32:12,395 --> 00:32:13,811
With an eye for the main chance.
552
00:32:17,494 --> 00:32:18,337
Pick a card.
553
00:32:19,199 --> 00:32:20,090
Any card.
554
00:32:21,123 --> 00:32:22,710
As long as it is the Jack of Diamonds.
555
00:32:25,344 --> 00:32:28,109
Ah, the young eye is
quicker than the old hand.
556
00:32:29,653 --> 00:32:30,802
As a lawyer myself ..
557
00:32:30,902 --> 00:32:35,100
I know drawing valid indictments under
section 21 will be a tricky business.
558
00:32:36,076 --> 00:32:38,687
If a key clause or two were,
let us say to be ..
559
00:32:38,995 --> 00:32:40,357
Inexpertly phrased.
560
00:32:43,174 --> 00:32:44,404
Mr Johnson.
561
00:32:44,704 --> 00:32:47,174
Would you care to make a
small wager on your skill?
562
00:32:47,718 --> 00:32:48,545
Say ..
563
00:32:49,099 --> 00:32:51,634
One dollar of yours against
five thousand of mine ..
564
00:32:51,734 --> 00:32:53,932
That you can pick the Jack again.
565
00:32:55,361 --> 00:32:56,351
Quite a team.
566
00:32:56,855 --> 00:32:58,951
Burke swings the blackjack
and you toss the bankroll.
567
00:32:59,803 --> 00:33:01,734
Is the attorney general
making any better offers?
568
00:33:03,944 --> 00:33:05,167
The Jack of Diamonds?
569
00:33:12,663 --> 00:33:13,430
You win.
570
00:33:34,081 --> 00:33:35,091
Enjoy the dance?
571
00:33:35,415 --> 00:33:37,090
Divine if you can stand the partner.
572
00:33:37,378 --> 00:33:38,752
You should try the fat one.
573
00:33:39,725 --> 00:33:41,255
Oh, you mean the one with the badge?
574
00:33:41,594 --> 00:33:43,098
Yes. They'd make a lovely couple.
575
00:33:45,722 --> 00:33:47,917
Were you just browsing or do
you have something in mind?
576
00:33:48,373 --> 00:33:49,690
You.
- Well.
577
00:33:50,485 --> 00:33:51,865
What are you doing next month?
578
00:33:52,635 --> 00:33:54,883
You impetuous impulsive boy.
- No. What I meant ..
579
00:33:54,983 --> 00:33:57,738
You walked out up there without getting
your drink. And Nelly was buying.
580
00:33:57,838 --> 00:33:58,648
Thanks.
581
00:33:58,748 --> 00:34:00,579
Anything for you, Cleo?
- No thanks, Ben.
582
00:34:04,046 --> 00:34:05,538
You were about to say something.
583
00:34:05,886 --> 00:34:07,645
I'll try it another way.
What's your angle?
584
00:34:07,811 --> 00:34:08,975
Try it another way.
585
00:34:09,661 --> 00:34:11,130
Well. This place.
586
00:34:11,952 --> 00:34:13,074
These people.
587
00:34:13,567 --> 00:34:14,312
You.
588
00:34:15,403 --> 00:34:16,128
Thanks.
589
00:34:16,576 --> 00:34:18,507
That's the nicest thing
anybody didn't say to me.
590
00:34:19,226 --> 00:34:22,121
No. What I mean is, isn't there a thing
you'd like to do next week, next month?
591
00:34:22,416 --> 00:34:23,860
Next year? Haven't you any plans?
592
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:25,158
Who makes plans?
593
00:34:25,796 --> 00:34:27,134
You do the best you can.
594
00:34:27,506 --> 00:34:29,437
Sometimes you wish it
had turned out differently.
595
00:34:33,234 --> 00:34:34,507
Thanks for the song, honey.
596
00:34:34,745 --> 00:34:36,478
Bless you, sir.
- Not if you're smart.
597
00:34:37,037 --> 00:34:38,980
Part of our service. Bye-bye, baby.
598
00:34:50,559 --> 00:34:53,408
Look, I ain't going to talk. I ain't
going to put my mark on nothing.
599
00:34:53,878 --> 00:34:55,351
Because I am afraid of K.C. Burke.
600
00:34:55,643 --> 00:34:58,093
Burke says he'll get a lot of us
after he runs you out of town.
601
00:34:58,357 --> 00:35:00,622
I can make you talk, my friend.
Ever hear of a subpoena?
602
00:35:01,134 --> 00:35:04,073
Did you ever hear of a lousy memory?
Let me tell you, mister state capital.
603
00:35:04,173 --> 00:35:07,272
If you subpoena me up on a witness stand
I won't be able to remember my own name.
604
00:35:20,137 --> 00:35:21,753
Buck, is everybody around here chicken?
605
00:35:22,203 --> 00:35:23,840
You ever been scared of losing our job?
606
00:35:24,062 --> 00:35:26,372
Having your little store burned
out or your truck wrecked?
607
00:35:26,472 --> 00:35:29,015
Getting beat up, maybe crippled
or lying around on a phony rap?
608
00:35:30,443 --> 00:35:32,345
Maybe having your wife
bothered. Even your kids.
609
00:35:32,908 --> 00:35:33,837
Yes. For what?
610
00:35:34,495 --> 00:35:35,839
Court guys talk slick.
611
00:35:36,345 --> 00:35:38,702
These guys talk sore. Here.
You notice this thing?
612
00:35:40,264 --> 00:35:42,207
These guys were all
called in for the treatment.
613
00:35:42,399 --> 00:35:43,792
To Amboy's?
- It's likely.
614
00:35:44,024 --> 00:35:44,898
Allridge too?
615
00:35:45,594 --> 00:35:47,320
He wouldn't know how to find the place.
616
00:35:48,523 --> 00:35:49,413
Look, Buck.
617
00:35:49,674 --> 00:35:51,834
I know I said we wouldn't
need Allridge, but I was wrong.
618
00:35:52,144 --> 00:35:55,096
We've had forty-three complainants
fizzle out like wet firecrackers.
619
00:35:55,381 --> 00:35:56,968
Some of them pretty strong characters.
620
00:35:57,306 --> 00:35:59,466
Now, if Burke put the heat on
Allridge we've got to know.
621
00:35:59,658 --> 00:36:01,882
Ever since I was a rookie he's
been the big man in town.
622
00:36:02,672 --> 00:36:04,774
Why? Because no-one else
ever came up to his shoulders.
623
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:06,674
No, you're banging on the wrong door.
624
00:36:06,874 --> 00:36:09,005
Alright, so it's slim. But it's
the only lead we've got.
625
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:12,350
I'm a cop, Johnson. I know a man like
him doesn't just change overnight.
626
00:36:12,820 --> 00:36:15,768
Then you ought to enjoy running me out
to Amboy's and showing me up for a dope.
627
00:36:16,586 --> 00:36:17,973
What about it, Buck? Right now.
628
00:36:18,304 --> 00:36:20,030
Just walk in and ask the man, huh?
- Yep.
629
00:36:20,769 --> 00:36:22,580
First, you got something to learn.
- What?
630
00:36:23,050 --> 00:36:24,636
Why policemen have flat feet.
631
00:36:26,206 --> 00:36:27,815
"But we didn't have to go to Amboy's."
632
00:36:27,915 --> 00:36:31,136
"Because Maxwell's flat feet led to some
information that brought Amboy to us."
633
00:36:41,845 --> 00:36:44,505
You were right. Dig long enough
and there is always a soft spot.
634
00:36:45,434 --> 00:36:47,002
Or maybe it just looks soft.
635
00:36:52,025 --> 00:36:52,768
Come in.
636
00:36:56,020 --> 00:36:57,082
I am Bennie Amboy.
637
00:36:57,513 --> 00:36:59,108
One of you guys phoned me to come in.
638
00:36:59,405 --> 00:37:00,748
On the evening of the 21st ..
639
00:37:00,848 --> 00:37:03,490
You made a phone call to Haven Allridge
editor of The News Intelligencer.
640
00:37:03,772 --> 00:37:04,964
Why?
- So what?
641
00:37:05,064 --> 00:37:07,043
Then you did phone him?
- Who told you to phone?
642
00:37:07,143 --> 00:37:09,997
Is that why Tarsson paid you the $100?
- Huh? For crying out loud.
643
00:37:10,097 --> 00:37:12,886
You ordered room service to room 14 when
Allridge arrived. What happened there?
644
00:37:13,067 --> 00:37:15,499
Now wait a minute you guys.
- What about this $100 from Tarsson?
645
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:19,087
What hundred dollars from who?
646
00:37:19,786 --> 00:37:23,573
On the 21st, Tarsson drew a counter
check for $100 on Bridgewood National.
647
00:37:23,818 --> 00:37:25,761
On the 22nd you deposited
the same check ..
648
00:37:25,861 --> 00:37:27,877
In your single name account
in the Sennheier trust.
649
00:37:28,251 --> 00:37:29,964
Now, ain't that a coincidence.
- Bennie.
650
00:37:30,683 --> 00:37:33,243
Don't you realise we can knock
your place over any time we like.
651
00:37:33,497 --> 00:37:34,970
A gambling rap, liquor violations.
652
00:37:35,244 --> 00:37:37,413
A sanitation charge.
Anything else in the state statutes.
653
00:37:37,798 --> 00:37:39,643
First you got to knock
over Burke and Tarsson.
654
00:37:39,802 --> 00:37:41,312
Would you testify to that in court?
655
00:37:41,830 --> 00:37:43,674
What a comic. You kill me.
656
00:37:44,187 --> 00:37:45,603
About this hundred-dollar check.
657
00:37:46,215 --> 00:37:49,666
Why didn't you put it in the Bridgewood
Bank in a joint account with Mrs Amboy?
658
00:37:50,337 --> 00:37:53,619
Does Mrs Amboy know that you keep a
single name account in another bank?
659
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,952
You're not knocking down on
your own wife, are you Bennie?
660
00:37:56,052 --> 00:37:58,742
Holding out dough on a hot-tempered
woman like Mrs Amboy.
661
00:37:58,842 --> 00:38:01,235
We've been selling you short, Bennie.
You're a very brave fellow.
662
00:38:05,620 --> 00:38:07,082
You boys are out of your league.
663
00:38:07,587 --> 00:38:09,060
You picked the wrong guy to bluff.
664
00:38:11,104 --> 00:38:14,550
Don't think you can threaten to tell
Jenny about my St. Howard bank account.
665
00:38:14,916 --> 00:38:16,099
She knows all about it.
666
00:38:17,855 --> 00:38:20,507
If you crack one word to her
I'll the both of you in the clink.
667
00:38:21,014 --> 00:38:22,487
It's blackmail. That's what it is.
668
00:38:22,705 --> 00:38:24,949
A dirty blackmailing
trick to make me sing.
669
00:38:28,617 --> 00:38:31,481
Why you so worried about this punk
of a newspaper editor anyway?
670
00:38:31,788 --> 00:38:33,842
He comes out to the joint
wanting to sell us an Ad.
671
00:38:33,942 --> 00:38:37,566
Just a shakedown to pay us to quit
printing them fancy newspaper stories.
672
00:38:41,293 --> 00:38:42,451
He's alright, ain't he?
673
00:38:45,130 --> 00:38:47,063
For crying out loud say
something, can't you?
674
00:38:47,824 --> 00:38:49,690
You were doing fine all by yourself.
675
00:38:50,986 --> 00:38:52,823
Bennie, you're in deeper
water than you know.
676
00:38:52,923 --> 00:38:54,823
You'd better start

that room that night?
678

What's in it for me if I talk?

We don't make deals.

Plus, for what it's worth Bennie,
Captain Maxwell here is a married man.

Okay.

687
00:39:25,875 --> 00:39:28,851
That night at a quarter to ten, someone
called Allridge on your payphone.
688

Was it you?
689

Yep.
- What did you say to him?
690
00:39:33,706 --> 00:39:36,662
Well, I says to him like
Nelly Tarsson tells me.
691
00:39:37,844 --> 00:39:40,934
That's right, Mr Allridge.
This will be strictly the low-down.
692
00:39:41,929 --> 00:39:43,235
Amboy's, room 14.
693
00:39:44,121 --> 00:39:46,690
No there is nobody. Nothing.
Just go right upstairs into the room.
694
00:39:48,248 --> 00:39:48,891
Yeah.
695
00:40:11,201 --> 00:40:12,722
But allow me to say this.
696
00:40:13,590 --> 00:40:15,699
Although I disagree with what you print.
697
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,103
I admit your sacred right to print it.
698
00:40:19,725 --> 00:40:22,774
And I envy your consummate
skill with the pen.
699
00:40:23,472 --> 00:40:25,717
Let's skip the small talk
and get down to cases.
700
00:40:26,123 --> 00:40:28,379
Your man on the telephone
promised me the low-down.
701
00:40:28,713 --> 00:40:32,192
I presume he referred to
information and not the company.
702
00:40:33,369 --> 00:40:35,687
Nelly, I ain't going to
let him pop off like that.
703
00:40:35,877 --> 00:40:38,666
Mr Allridge, you've collected a
number of letters and statements ..
704
00:40:39,121 --> 00:40:41,284
From certain disgruntled individuals ..
705
00:40:41,384 --> 00:40:43,589
Who claim to have been
wronged in Bridgewood County.
706
00:40:43,923 --> 00:40:45,796
You should see them.
Some of them are Lulus.
707
00:40:46,147 --> 00:40:48,204
As the High Sheriff of
Bridgewood County ..
708
00:40:48,304 --> 00:40:52,011
Mr Burke is the lawfully constituted
guardian of the public welfare.
709
00:40:52,637 --> 00:40:56,351
He demands that turn this so-called
evidence over to him forthwith.
710
00:40:56,977 --> 00:40:58,066
Just like that, eh?
711
00:40:58,166 --> 00:41:00,730
Well, naturally of course we are
prepared to compensate you.
712
00:41:01,941 --> 00:41:03,506
This compensation.
713
00:41:04,270 --> 00:41:07,370
I suppose you would expect me
to discontinue my articles?
714
00:41:07,659 --> 00:41:08,590
Of course.
715
00:41:09,763 --> 00:41:10,853
Name the sum.
716
00:41:12,293 --> 00:41:13,717
Well, every man has his price.
717
00:41:15,814 --> 00:41:19,213
Mine is the satisfaction of seeing
you hoodlums behind bars.
718
00:41:19,923 --> 00:41:23,486
Goodnight, gents. Don't miss tomorrow's
paper. You make the front page as usual.
719
00:41:23,829 --> 00:41:25,673
Allridge, you're making grave mistake.
720
00:41:26,261 --> 00:41:27,457
You've made yours.
721
00:41:29,763 --> 00:41:30,778
Get out of my way.

Tarsson, call off your dogs.
723
00:41:34,026 --> 00:41:36,841
Mr Allridge, we've tried every
means of peaceful persuasion.
724
00:41:37,125 --> 00:41:38,794
For the last time I appeal to you.
725
00:41:51,948 --> 00:41:52,703
Now.
726
00:41:53,507 --> 00:41:55,037
Maybe you'll talk a deal.
727
00:41:57,511 --> 00:42:00,065
This is a waste of time.
Take him inside.
728
00:42:07,821 --> 00:42:10,078
Get him a double brandy and
leave it outside the door.
729
00:42:14,835 --> 00:42:17,608
Then I go downstairs and
after that I know from nothing.
730
00:42:18,089 --> 00:42:20,453
When you went back with the
brandy what did you see or hear?
731
00:42:20,812 --> 00:42:22,463
Nothing. They was in the back room.
732
00:42:23,205 --> 00:42:25,787
How much longer was Allridge up there?
- I never seen him again.
733
00:42:26,003 --> 00:42:27,862
They probably let him
out the back stairs.
734
00:42:29,168 --> 00:42:32,142
You sure you don't want to see none of
the junk I lugged all the way down here?

You didn't say what for.

gas tank slips, my draft registration.

from my aunt Effie in Peoria.

We'll put you up for a
pension, Bennie. Thanks.

that set up the date?

am I. Look, I want to win this case.

00:47:49,327 --> 00:47:51,129
I was hoping you'd
be a friendly witness.
846
00:47:51,229 --> 00:47:53,188
You wanted to get tough
so there is your subpoena.
847
00:47:54,278 --> 00:47:55,254
Mr Johnson.
848
00:47:56,110 --> 00:47:57,159
In all goodwill.
849
00:47:57,432 --> 00:48:00,143
I warn you most seriously against
putting me on that stand.
850
00:48:00,803 --> 00:48:03,592
Don't think I'm going to let you run for
cover under the 1st or 5th amendments.
851
00:48:03,777 --> 00:48:05,000
You will talk alright.
852
00:48:05,283 --> 00:48:06,962
I'll cross-examine you until you bleed.
853
00:48:10,847 --> 00:48:13,755
Mr Allridge, it is your duty as a
citizen and as a newspaperman.
854
00:48:14,365 --> 00:48:16,210
To help us rid the state
of these vicious men.
855
00:48:16,979 --> 00:48:18,452
You will win your case without me.
856
00:48:19,164 --> 00:48:21,037
You're going to make a
good lawyer, Mr Johnson.
857
00:48:21,240 --> 00:48:23,285
And you're going to make
a good witness, Mr Allridge.
858
00:48:24,569 --> 00:48:25,355
Goodnight.
859
00:48:35,014 --> 00:48:36,792
I tell you I tried
everything on the guy.
860
00:48:36,892 --> 00:48:40,890
Flattery, insults, tears, civic duty,
the flag and American fatherhood.
861
00:48:41,717 --> 00:48:43,598
I'll say this much for him,
he's an honest man.
862
00:48:43,698 --> 00:48:45,494
When he sells out he stays sold.
863
00:48:45,966 --> 00:48:48,126
Haven Allridge wouldn't sell
out any more than me or you.
864
00:48:48,331 --> 00:48:49,330
Look, are you ..
865
00:48:50,299 --> 00:48:52,721
Skip it. It doesn't matter.
I'm lucky I found out in time.
866
00:48:53,269 --> 00:48:56,380
If I'd gone through with the hearing I'd
look like the prize sap of the state.
867
00:48:56,746 --> 00:48:58,104
What do you mean, "if"?
868
00:48:58,356 --> 00:48:59,649
I'm a smart fellow, Buck.
869
00:48:59,749 --> 00:49:02,489
When I'm dead, I fall over as
un-publicly as I can arrange it.
870
00:49:03,204 --> 00:49:05,364
And let Burke walk away from
here without even a scratch?
871
00:49:05,539 --> 00:49:06,268
:Listen.
872
00:49:06,778 --> 00:49:08,941
Even if you get beat you can
maul him on your way down.
873
00:49:09,414 --> 00:49:12,042
Keep your shirt on. It looks big
tonight but it's just another case.
874
00:49:12,388 --> 00:49:14,494
Can't you ever get it through
your smart legal head ..
875
00:49:14,594 --> 00:49:16,353
That a crime ain't just
a case it's a club.
876
00:49:16,552 --> 00:49:17,567
It's hurts people.
877
00:49:17,678 --> 00:49:19,863
And there are 150 million
people in this country.
878
00:49:19,963 --> 00:49:21,464
Nobody can worry about all of them.
879
00:49:21,628 --> 00:49:24,368
4,651 live in my precinct.
880
00:49:25,098 --> 00:49:26,770
They're not animals. They're not robots.
881
00:49:26,870 --> 00:49:29,836
People like your mother and father and
your sister and brother if you got any.
882
00:49:30,603 --> 00:49:33,335
They all want to make something of
themselves and they've all got feelings.
883
00:49:33,598 --> 00:49:36,061
As long as Burke stays on top
they'll keep taking it in the head.
884
00:49:38,314 --> 00:49:39,466
I'm wasting my breath.
885
00:49:40,912 --> 00:49:43,644
You won't know what I'm talking about
until a club hits near you. Never mind.
886
00:49:57,418 --> 00:49:58,662
Don't disappoint me, Buck.
887
00:49:58,793 --> 00:50:01,611
We'll cancel our subpoenas and take our
complainant up to Canada in the morning.
888
00:50:01,984 --> 00:50:03,628
I'll drop in on you before I leave town.
889
00:50:15,392 --> 00:50:16,384
331 please.
890
00:50:19,212 --> 00:50:19,946
Thanks.
891
00:50:20,046 --> 00:50:22,646
By the way I'll check out tomorrow.
You can have the room about noon.
892
00:51:39,914 --> 00:51:40,989
Cone on out, Bennie.
893
00:51:41,187 --> 00:51:42,420
Why are you tagging me?
894
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,174
Because you know something I don't
now and that always makes be nervous.
895
00:51:45,742 --> 00:51:46,585
Come on out.
896
00:51:50,067 --> 00:51:52,327
I want to bail out a prisoner.
- A hundred bucks.
897
00:51:52,568 --> 00:51:54,947
What kind of a car was he driving?
- It's a woman. Cleo Bethel.
898
00:51:55,467 --> 00:51:57,289
Oh, the woman. Let me see.
899
00:52:01,337 --> 00:52:02,466
We ain't got no woman.
900
00:52:02,974 --> 00:52:03,760
Goodnight.
901
00:52:08,366 --> 00:52:09,785
Hey, you can't go down there.
902
00:52:14,257 --> 00:52:15,166
Operator.
903
00:52:19,607 --> 00:52:20,277
What?
904
00:52:20,377 --> 00:52:22,422
Johnson, special prosecutor.
I want to see the woman.
905
00:52:24,182 --> 00:52:25,571
She is staying in twelve.
906
00:52:26,022 --> 00:52:26,894
Hey, Cannell.
907
00:52:35,028 --> 00:52:35,838
Twelve.
908
00:52:49,814 --> 00:52:50,457
Cleo.
909
00:52:51,121 --> 00:52:52,219
Cleo, you in there?
910
00:52:54,951 --> 00:52:55,649
Cleo.
911
00:52:56,167 --> 00:52:56,933
Chick.
912
00:52:58,292 --> 00:52:59,195
You alright?
913
00:52:59,584 --> 00:53:00,233
No.
914
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:03,629
Open this door.
915
00:53:03,752 --> 00:53:05,311
You got something to show from Burke?
916
00:53:05,990 --> 00:53:06,665
Yeah.
917
00:53:33,260 --> 00:53:34,647
Come on, let's get out of here.
918
00:53:45,167 --> 00:53:46,360
Easy, mister.
919
00:53:48,801 --> 00:53:49,988
What are you doing here?
920
00:53:53,475 --> 00:53:54,271
Shut up!
921
00:53:54,864 --> 00:53:56,051
Do you hear me? Shut up!
922
00:53:56,179 --> 00:53:58,055
Why, it's Mr Johnson from the capital.
923
00:53:58,314 --> 00:54:00,424
You got a nerve busting here like this.
924
00:54:00,641 --> 00:54:03,486
You have a nerve holding this woman on a
phony vagrancy charge and without bail.
925
00:54:03,586 --> 00:54:04,729
Let her loose, Burke.
926
00:54:04,829 --> 00:54:06,970
She's been shooting off her
face too much. She stays in.
927
00:54:07,449 --> 00:54:11,252
I warned you weeks ago Nellie that you'd
square this beef or I'd break it my way.
928
00:54:11,515 --> 00:54:15,017
I regret this scene, Mr Johnson. We'll
set bail as soon as court convenes.
929
00:54:15,285 --> 00:54:17,994
Wait a minute.
I've finally got my bellyful.
930
00:54:18,531 --> 00:54:21,956
This capital snoop comes down here to
poke his nose into everybody's business.
931
00:54:22,317 --> 00:54:24,496
Getting my wife so upset
that I hate to go home.
932
00:54:24,870 --> 00:54:27,891
Even digging into my bank records
to find out how much money I spend.
933
00:54:28,474 --> 00:54:31,545
And now he comes snooping
into my court. Busting into my jail.
934
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:32,968
Your court? Your jail?
935
00:54:33,068 --> 00:54:34,140
Shut your fat mouth.
936
00:54:34,726 --> 00:54:38,019
I'll shut my mouth when I give this
snoop one more hunk of advice.
937
00:54:38,796 --> 00:54:42,945
Go back to your 2-bit hotel, pack your
shiny suit and trot back to the capital.
938
00:54:43,242 --> 00:54:46,058
Sheriff Burke might waive
bail and release Miss Bethel ..
939
00:54:46,158 --> 00:54:48,563
If she agrees to leave this part
of the country before morning.
940
00:54:48,834 --> 00:54:50,207
I ain't finished yet.
941
00:54:51,049 --> 00:54:53,587
You tell the attorney general
or whoever you work for ..
942
00:54:53,687 --> 00:54:57,109
That 12,000 people elected me
Sheriff of this county three times.
943
00:54:57,507 --> 00:54:59,535
Because they like the
way I take care of them.
944
00:55:00,123 --> 00:55:04,228
And when K.C. Burke wants help to run
his county he'll ask for it himself.
945
00:55:05,437 --> 00:55:06,166
Shut up!
946
00:55:07,068 --> 00:55:07,970
Now you get.
947
00:55:08,781 --> 00:55:10,287
I'm taking the girl with me, Burke.
948
00:55:10,883 --> 00:55:12,028
I warn you.
949
00:55:12,475 --> 00:55:14,186
You're aiding a prisoner to escape.
950
00:55:14,521 --> 00:55:15,485
You bet I am.
951
00:55:17,843 --> 00:55:18,829
Don't do it, K.C.
952
00:55:21,767 --> 00:55:23,330
What do you think you're doing here?
953
00:55:23,430 --> 00:55:26,908
I'm throwing a gun on you K.C. as a
deputy to the attorney general's office.
954
00:55:27,995 --> 00:55:29,182
I can show you the card.
955
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,732
It gives me the right to shoot you dead
if you don't drop your gun right now.
956
00:55:35,501 --> 00:55:36,313
You too.
957
00:55:39,481 --> 00:55:40,330
Let's go.
958
00:55:43,149 --> 00:55:45,673
I'll see you in court.
- We'll beat you, Johnson.
959
00:55:45,875 --> 00:55:47,227
I'll maul you as I go down.
960
00:55:57,835 --> 00:55:59,510
I guess Burke uses the back door.
961
00:56:06,272 --> 00:56:10,056
"Train 209 arriving on time. Track 4."
962
00:56:11,363 --> 00:56:14,856
"Train 117 westbound on Track 3."
963
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,693
Maybe we should have
bought a copy of that book:
964
00:56:17,793 --> 00:56:19,535
"What to say before
the train pulls out".
965
00:56:19,635 --> 00:56:21,830
Or, how to say goodbye
for twenty minutes.
966
00:56:22,729 --> 00:56:23,780
No laughs, huh?
967
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,492
You ought to be laughing at me.
968
00:56:25,592 --> 00:56:27,480
They're driving you
out and I can't stop it.
969
00:56:27,580 --> 00:56:28,795
I'd have moved on anyway.
970
00:56:29,390 --> 00:56:32,290
I suppose my car is at the
very end, a mile away.
971
00:56:32,731 --> 00:56:33,753
The cattle car.
972
00:56:35,232 --> 00:56:36,544
B71. Here you are.
973
00:56:36,794 --> 00:56:38,468
You're not in a cattle car after all.
974
00:56:39,678 --> 00:56:40,528
Excuse me.
975
00:56:44,675 --> 00:56:46,448
Will you give me a
penny for my thoughts?
976
00:56:55,914 --> 00:56:57,202
I'm silly for fortunes.
977
00:56:57,554 --> 00:57:00,123
I didn't think you were the kind
of girl that cared about the future.
978
00:57:00,223 --> 00:57:01,606
Lower sixth. Here.
979
00:57:01,868 --> 00:57:03,315
I just found out when to duck.
980
00:57:05,014 --> 00:57:06,191
All aboard.
981
00:57:07,699 --> 00:57:08,432
Cleo.
982
00:57:08,782 --> 00:57:11,202
Don't make pretty noises just
because you're saying goodbye.
983
00:57:11,575 --> 00:57:14,449
We're like those ships you're always
hearing about that pass in the night.
984
00:57:14,844 --> 00:57:18,806
We ruffle the water up a bit but pretty
soon it's as if no-one had been there.
985
00:57:20,777 --> 00:57:23,165
I still don't know what to talk
about before the train pulls out.
986
00:57:23,795 --> 00:57:24,781
Just say goodbye.
987
00:57:30,893 --> 00:57:31,942
Goodbye, chick.
988
00:57:32,447 --> 00:57:33,604
Good luck tomorrow.
989
00:57:34,084 --> 00:57:35,115
Goodbye, Cleo.
990
00:57:35,864 --> 00:57:37,208
Good luck from here on out.
991
00:58:19,689 --> 00:58:20,647
Window dressing.
992
00:58:21,186 --> 00:58:23,524
I could write out my case on
the inside of a match cover.
993
00:58:25,002 --> 00:58:26,242
That depends on Allridge.
994
00:58:26,549 --> 00:58:29,571
I'm gambling that he is decent. If he is
I think I can show him he's got to talk.
995
00:58:29,816 --> 00:58:32,576
Anyway, you will be in on something
new to the annals of jurisprudence.
996
00:58:33,045 --> 00:58:36,107
A prosecutor presenting his whole
case to one witness instead of a judge.
997
00:58:52,815 --> 00:58:54,899
You can still move for
a dismissal, Johnson.
998
00:58:55,824 --> 00:58:57,726
I never will learn to pick
the Jack of Diamonds.
999
00:58:59,406 --> 00:59:00,325
Court rise.
1000
00:59:01,486 --> 00:59:03,505
Superior Court of Bridgewood
County now in session.
1001
00:59:03,686 --> 00:59:04,844
Judge Neeler presiding.
1002
00:59:05,188 --> 00:59:06,676
The people versus Burke et all.
1003
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,998
I've been sent to this district to find
from evidence presented at this hearing.
1004
00:59:11,369 --> 00:59:14,836
Whether there is probable cause to hold
the defendants for subsequent trial.
1005
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:16,981
I will hear the prosecution.
1006
00:59:22,457 --> 00:59:25,229
Your Honor, as prosecuting attorney
for the county of Bridgewood.
1007
00:59:25,874 --> 00:59:28,943
I ask permission of the court to
hear councillor Charles Johnson.
1008
00:59:29,613 --> 00:59:33,119
Appointed as special prosecutor in this
case by the state Attorney General.
1009
00:59:33,430 --> 00:59:35,758
Is this all you will have to do
with the case, Mr Stauton?
1010
00:59:35,991 --> 00:59:38,889
The primary witness for the
prosecution, Mr Allridge.
1011
00:59:39,317 --> 00:59:40,466
Is my father-in-law.
1012
00:59:41,465 --> 00:59:42,194
Proceed.
1013
00:59:43,020 --> 00:59:45,979
Your honor, the state asks the court to
find cause to indict Kellwin C. Burke ..
1014
00:59:46,152 --> 00:59:49,568
Elk M. Ludens and Edward Grayton under
section 21 of the revised penal code.
1015
00:59:49,879 --> 00:59:51,636
Covering the invasion
of constitutional ..
1016
00:59:51,736 --> 00:59:53,094
I've read your specifications.
1017
00:59:53,194 --> 00:59:54,165
Yes, Your Honor.
1018
00:59:54,265 --> 00:59:56,661
I now wish to add a further
count under section 46.
1019
00:59:57,216 --> 01:00:00,262
To wit, that said defendants,
and in addition Nelson S. Tarsson.
1020
01:00:01,052 --> 01:00:04,328
Did conspire to intimidate
and did intimidate and restrain ..
1021
01:00:04,428 --> 01:00:06,368
Haven D. Allridge, editor
of a daily newspaper ..
1022
01:00:06,468 --> 01:00:09,149
From the exercise of his constitutional
right to freedom of the press.
1023
01:00:10,534 --> 01:00:13,125
The amended charges are also detailed
in the brief. The state is ready.
1024
01:00:15,971 --> 01:00:19,232
Does the defence wish additional
time to study the amended charges?
1025
01:00:19,746 --> 01:00:21,527
The defence waives its rights.
1026
01:00:21,969 --> 01:00:22,698
Proceed.
1027
01:00:23,185 --> 01:00:26,175
With Your Honor's permission I call the
first state witness. Haven D. Allridge.
1028
01:00:28,382 --> 01:00:29,527
Haven D. Allridge.
1029
01:00:36,959 --> 01:00:39,784
Do you swear to tell the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
1030
01:00:39,884 --> 01:00:40,527
I do.
1031
01:00:41,070 --> 01:00:42,808
State your name.
- Haven D. Allridge.
1032
01:00:45,970 --> 01:00:48,456
Mr Allridge. You are a
newspaper man by profession?
1033
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,277
I am.
- Thank you.
1034
01:00:50,585 --> 01:00:52,365
Witness dismissed, subject to recall.
1035
01:00:59,065 --> 01:00:59,690
Oh.
1036
01:01:00,687 --> 01:01:02,417
Please stay in the
courtroom, Mr Allridge.
1037
01:01:04,472 --> 01:01:05,599
The defence objects.
1038
01:01:06,395 --> 01:01:09,985
Your Honor, this is merely a device to
compel the witness to sit in court ..
1039
01:01:10,085 --> 01:01:12,898
Where he must hear and be
influenced by the testimony of others.
1040
01:01:13,664 --> 01:01:16,734
The prosecutor's tactics are unorthodox
but within his technical rights.
1041
01:01:17,599 --> 01:01:18,424
Overruled.
1042
01:01:19,544 --> 01:01:20,708
Call Walter O. Hickby.
1043
01:01:21,039 --> 01:01:22,458
Walter O. Hickby.
1044
01:01:27,801 --> 01:01:30,627
Do you swear to tell the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
1045
01:01:30,727 --> 01:01:32,824
I do. - State your name.
- Walter O. Hickby.
1046
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:35,355
Mr Hickby.
1047
01:01:35,455 --> 01:01:37,127
This article signed by Haven Allridge ..
1048
01:01:37,227 --> 01:01:40,013
Reports certain facts concerning
your detention by the defendants.
1049
01:01:40,479 --> 01:01:42,459
Was your treatment
as Mr Allridge describes?
1050
01:01:43,543 --> 01:01:45,073
Like I told you, I refuse to answer.
1051
01:01:45,412 --> 01:01:46,431
On what grounds?
1052
01:01:46,787 --> 01:01:47,942
On advice of counsel.
1053
01:01:48,439 --> 01:01:51,454
Did Sheriff Burke or his agents
pay you for refusing to testify?
1054
01:01:51,701 --> 01:01:53,317
Did they threaten you with bodily harm?
1055
01:01:53,922 --> 01:01:55,744
I refuse to answer on
the advice of counsel.
1056
01:01:56,210 --> 01:01:57,942
My friend, you can't
refuse to testify ..
1057
01:01:58,042 --> 01:01:59,814
Without courting a
citation for contempt.
1058
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,276
Did anyone tell you not to
talk to the newspapers?
1059
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:03,375
I refuse ..
1060
01:02:03,784 --> 01:02:04,823
I don't remember.
1061
01:02:05,046 --> 01:02:06,952
On what grounds?
- On advice of counsel.
1062
01:02:07,832 --> 01:02:09,162
I'm not sure I got that last.
1063
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:11,511
He doesn't remember
on advice of counsel.
1064
01:02:11,927 --> 01:02:13,285
He's telling the truth anyway.
1065
01:02:14,232 --> 01:02:15,897
Who is your counsel, Mr Hickby?
1066
01:02:21,785 --> 01:02:23,429
Well, that is one question you answered.
1067
01:02:23,948 --> 01:02:24,892
Your witness.
1068
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:27,047
No questions.
1069
01:02:28,889 --> 01:02:30,136
Call Samuel Slaper.
1070
01:02:31,357 --> 01:02:33,415
He won't talk either.
- That's right.
1071
01:02:33,963 --> 01:02:35,087
Samuel Slaper.
1072
01:02:38,228 --> 01:02:41,100
Do you swear to tell the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
1073
01:02:42,195 --> 01:02:42,981
Mr Vetzer.
1074
01:02:43,231 --> 01:02:45,446
Earlier this month you
spoke freely to Mr Allridge ..
1075
01:02:45,546 --> 01:02:48,312
About the wrongs done to you by the
defendants. Now you can't remember?
1076
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,077
I'll give you one last chance to
gain your self-respect, Mr Vetzer.
1077
01:02:59,771 --> 01:03:00,643
Your witness.
1078
01:03:02,060 --> 01:03:02,954
No questions.
1079
01:03:04,058 --> 01:03:04,875
Dismissed.
1080
01:03:07,730 --> 01:03:08,574
Mr Johnson.
1081
01:03:09,153 --> 01:03:11,834
The court has been very patient with
this long procession of witnesses ..
1082
01:03:11,934 --> 01:03:14,376
Who disclaim knowledge of the
situation under examination.
1083
01:03:15,254 --> 01:03:18,649
I remind you that we're taking a great
deal of time to apparently get nowhere.
1084
01:03:19,015 --> 01:03:20,267
The contrary, Your Honor.
1085
01:03:20,367 --> 01:03:22,953
We're building a picture of a
sinister pattern of threats, pressure ..
1086
01:03:23,053 --> 01:03:24,452
And intimidation of witnesses.
1087
01:03:24,776 --> 01:03:27,676
I'm now ready to back up these
indications with direct testimony.
1088
01:03:28,411 --> 01:03:29,777
Call Wilfred Jackson.
1089
01:03:31,460 --> 01:03:34,035
Somehow Mr Jackson's writ
didn't get served on your jail ..
1090
01:03:34,135 --> 01:03:36,048
Until after you gentlemen
had come upstairs.
1091
01:03:38,910 --> 01:03:39,900
Wilfred Jackson.
1092
01:03:53,300 --> 01:03:56,118
Do you swear to tell the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
1093
01:03:56,574 --> 01:03:58,347
Yes, sir. I do.
- State your name.
1094
01:03:59,002 --> 01:03:59,960
Wilfred Jackson.
1095
01:04:00,834 --> 01:04:01,649
Mr Jackson.
1096
01:04:02,473 --> 01:04:04,549
How long have you been
acquainted with Mr Allridge?
1097
01:04:05,574 --> 01:04:07,291
About eight years.
1098
01:04:07,569 --> 01:04:10,559
Do you work for Mr Allridge?
- No, sir. I'm in business for myself.
1099
01:04:11,076 --> 01:04:11,890
I sell ..
1100
01:04:13,009 --> 01:04:14,110
That is, I sold.
1101
01:04:14,751 --> 01:04:17,131
Candy and sandwiches
and stuff like that.
1102
01:04:17,484 --> 01:04:18,945
In Mr Allridge's newspaper plant.
1103
01:04:19,136 --> 01:04:21,261
You say "sold". What is
your present occupation?
1104
01:04:22,515 --> 01:04:25,095
I'm in the prison labor gang
working at Mr Tarsson's home.
1105
01:04:25,515 --> 01:04:27,388
Were you convicted of an
offence and sentenced?
1106
01:04:27,741 --> 01:04:29,874
No, sir. I haven't had my trial yet.
1107
01:04:30,264 --> 01:04:32,106
Object, Your Honor. Object.
1108
01:04:32,322 --> 01:04:34,138
The questioning is
irrelevant and immaterial.
1109
01:04:34,454 --> 01:04:37,063
It's material, pertinent and relevant.
- Overruled.
1110
01:04:37,286 --> 01:04:41,026
The witness's experience was quoted in
one of the articles you didn't suppress.
1111
01:04:43,617 --> 01:04:47,081
Did any of the defendants tell you
not to talk to the newspapers?
1112
01:04:48,774 --> 01:04:49,577
Yes, sir.
1113
01:04:49,677 --> 01:04:51,465
Will you point them out
to the court please.
1114
01:04:56,555 --> 01:04:58,891
I'm afraid you will have to speak
the names into the record.
1115
01:05:01,406 --> 01:05:02,300
Mr Burke.
1116
01:05:03,021 --> 01:05:03,995
Mr Tarsson.
1117
01:05:04,358 --> 01:05:05,901
And that man they call "Ned".
1118
01:05:06,348 --> 01:05:08,479
Did they threaten you with any
punishment if you talked?
1119
01:05:10,155 --> 01:05:12,689
They said that they would
throw me to the kangaroos.
1120
01:05:13,039 --> 01:05:13,984
Like Tom Kenny.
1121
01:05:14,084 --> 01:05:16,241
But Tom Kenny's body was
found alongside the highway.
1122
01:05:16,341 --> 01:05:18,321
Are you implying that these
men killed Tom Kenny?
1123
01:05:18,539 --> 01:05:20,259
Object, Your Honor. Object!
1124
01:05:20,526 --> 01:05:22,791
This is hearsay.
No connection with the charges.
1125
01:05:23,455 --> 01:05:24,241
Sustained.
1126
01:05:32,035 --> 01:05:32,678
This.
1127
01:05:33,529 --> 01:05:35,903
Is a newspaper article in
which Mr Allridge reported ..
1128
01:05:36,003 --> 01:05:38,566
What Sheriff Burke and others did
to you the night you were arrested.
1129
01:05:38,666 --> 01:05:40,469
Have you seen the article?
- Yes, sir.
1130
01:05:41,039 --> 01:05:43,172
My wife says she has
a copy in our scrapbook.
1131
01:05:43,894 --> 01:05:45,876
Are the facts in the article
correct as stated?
1132
01:05:46,117 --> 01:05:46,984
Oh yes, sir.
1133
01:05:47,912 --> 01:05:49,614
It was just the way
Mr Allridge wrote it.
1134
01:05:50,780 --> 01:05:51,959
Thank you, Mr Jackson.
1135
01:05:52,466 --> 01:05:53,996
May I say that I feel rather humble.
1136
01:05:54,310 --> 01:05:55,611
In the face of your courage.
1137
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:57,352
Your witness.
1138
01:05:58,299 --> 01:05:59,862
No questions at this time.
1139
01:06:01,453 --> 01:06:02,519
Witness dismissed.
1140
01:06:11,180 --> 01:06:12,353
Recall Haven Allridge.
1141
01:06:13,357 --> 01:06:15,723
Your Honor, is it necessary
to hear this witness?
1142
01:06:16,301 --> 01:06:19,064
No evidence has yet been
offered to show that Mr Allridge ..
1143
01:06:19,267 --> 01:06:22,699
At any time had any contact
with any one of the defendants.
1144
01:06:23,371 --> 01:06:26,281
Without contact, obviously there
could have been no intimidation.
1145
01:06:26,690 --> 01:06:27,832
I will prove contact.
1146
01:06:28,117 --> 01:06:32,064
By a man who was there in the outer room
at Amboy's when your mugs beat Allridge.
1147
01:06:32,748 --> 01:06:33,677
Haven Allridge.
1148
01:06:34,053 --> 01:06:35,412
I'm calling Bennie Amboy.
1149
01:06:44,528 --> 01:06:45,932
He accepted the subpoena.
1150
01:06:59,900 --> 01:07:00,773
Your Honor.
1151
01:07:00,873 --> 01:07:03,960
At a late hour last night Mr Amboy
agreed to testify to what he had seen.
1152
01:07:04,876 --> 01:07:07,947
At an early hour this afternoon his
body was found at Factory Creek.
1153
01:07:08,533 --> 01:07:09,922
A few yards from the spot ..
1154
01:07:10,022 --> 01:07:12,986
Where unknown assailants wrecked
a News Intelligencer delivery truck.
1155
01:07:13,517 --> 01:07:15,190
The pattern I mentioned is now complete.
1156
01:07:15,889 --> 01:07:17,648
Do you wish to recess
the case, Mr Johnson?
1157
01:07:17,962 --> 01:07:19,852
No, sir. I'll present my final witness.
1158
01:07:20,260 --> 01:07:22,763
The courageous editor of the
St. Howard News Intelligencer.
1159
01:07:22,925 --> 01:07:26,359
Whose fearless investigative reporting
brought this issue to the light of day.
1160
01:07:27,468 --> 01:07:29,299
I call Haven Allridge.
- Haven Allridge.
1161
01:07:35,662 --> 01:07:38,372
Here we go off the high-board.
I hope there is water in the pool.
1162
01:07:38,620 --> 01:07:39,435
He'll talk.
1163
01:07:45,712 --> 01:07:48,487
Mr Allridge, you've been a member
of this community for your entire life.
1164
01:07:48,924 --> 01:07:49,664
I have.
1165
01:07:49,971 --> 01:07:51,867
Do you feel that each
member of a community ..
1166
01:07:51,967 --> 01:07:54,384
Owes a duty to his fellow members
keep it clean and safe?
1167
01:07:56,092 --> 01:07:56,735
I do.
1168
01:07:57,051 --> 01:08:00,601
Do you feel the editor of a newspaper
with his influence on public opinion ..
1169
01:08:00,701 --> 01:08:02,216
Holds a position of public trust?
1170
01:08:03,244 --> 01:08:06,641
Your Honor, the defence objects to this
line of questioning. It is immaterial.
1171
01:08:07,028 --> 01:08:07,814
Sustained.
1172
01:08:08,347 --> 01:08:10,964
Mr Allridge had been known favorably
throughout the state for many years.
1173
01:08:12,507 --> 01:08:15,810
Mr Allridge, you heard the testimony
of Wilfred Jackson a few minutes ago.
1174
01:08:16,544 --> 01:08:18,150
Yes, I did.
- Did he speak the truth?
1175
01:08:22,366 --> 01:08:23,667
Shall I repeat the question?
1176
01:08:24,469 --> 01:08:25,842
I heard the question.
1177
01:08:26,075 --> 01:08:27,790
Then did Wilfred Jackson
speak the truth?
1178
01:08:29,202 --> 01:08:30,260
I refuse to answer.
1179
01:08:33,197 --> 01:08:34,155
Quiet, please.
1180
01:08:35,901 --> 01:08:38,490
In your years in this community,
have its people been good to you?
1181
01:08:39,882 --> 01:08:40,609
Yes.
1182
01:08:40,709 --> 01:08:43,262
Do you feel you owe them anything
in the way of loyalty and devotion?
1183
01:08:45,656 --> 01:08:46,378
Do you?
1184
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:48,152
Yes, I do.
1185
01:08:48,876 --> 01:08:50,578
Then you will answer
this final question.
1186
01:08:51,684 --> 01:08:55,279
On the night of September 21st you came
to the establishment of Bennie Amboy.
1187
01:08:55,923 --> 01:08:59,495
You proceeded to an upstairs room
where you rejected contemptuously ..
1188
01:08:59,721 --> 01:09:03,297
Various offers by defendants Burke and
Tarsson to discontinue your articles.
1189
01:09:03,862 --> 01:09:06,371
Then and there you were beaten
by defendants Burke and Grayton.
1190
01:09:07,355 --> 01:09:10,272
At the conclusion of this beating
you were led to an inner room.
1191
01:09:11,562 --> 01:09:13,429
Mr Allridge, what happened
in that inner room?
1192
01:09:14,797 --> 01:09:16,028
I refuse to answer.
1193
01:09:17,092 --> 01:09:18,432
On the advice of counsel?
1194
01:09:20,581 --> 01:09:23,304
On the grounds that it would
incriminate and degrade me.
1195
01:09:28,455 --> 01:09:30,717
Answering the question won't
incriminate or degrade you.
1196
01:09:36,024 --> 01:09:36,896
Your witness.
1197
01:09:38,492 --> 01:09:39,364
No questions.
1198
01:09:40,209 --> 01:09:41,506
Witness dismissed.
1199
01:09:45,617 --> 01:09:46,314
Why?
1200
01:09:50,213 --> 01:09:51,794
Is the defence ready, Mr Tarsson?
1201
01:09:52,250 --> 01:09:54,128
Listen, I ain't going
to sit still on this.
1202
01:09:54,326 --> 01:09:56,310
So we pick up a guy on the
highway now and then.
1203
01:09:56,795 --> 01:09:59,542
They are all outsiders and the
fines keep the taxes down.
1204
01:09:59,999 --> 01:10:03,290
12,000 people voted and elected
me three times running.
1205
01:10:03,835 --> 01:10:07,063
And when they want K.C. Burke
out they can quit voting for me.
1206
01:10:08,007 --> 01:10:11,430
Your Honor, the .. prosecution
having offered no evidence ..
1207
01:10:11,730 --> 01:10:13,956
For us to argue, we waive our rights.
1208
01:10:15,073 --> 01:10:17,972
Do you wish to summarise Mr Johnson
or rest on the evidence as submitted?
1209
01:10:19,162 --> 01:10:21,526
You have only the direct
testimony of the witness Jackson.
1210
01:10:21,885 --> 01:10:22,814
Uncorroborated.
1211
01:10:23,585 --> 01:10:26,090
So, unless you gave a new view to add.
- Your Honor, I have.
1212
01:10:26,809 --> 01:10:28,711
In the mute parade of
these frightened citizens.
1213
01:10:29,475 --> 01:10:31,425
Weak men and strong men
who have become weak.
1214
01:10:31,635 --> 01:10:33,880
Little men. Big men who have
become little. All frightened.
1215
01:10:34,536 --> 01:10:37,512
Their very silence testifies to that.
More strongly than shouted words.
1216
01:10:38,907 --> 01:10:40,408
Their first protection was the law.
1217
01:10:41,151 --> 01:10:44,134
Under the domination of brutal, ruthless
men the law was turned against them.
1218
01:10:44,865 --> 01:10:46,687
There is another protection.
Public opinion.
1219
01:10:47,673 --> 01:10:49,649
Public opinion finds
its voice in the press.
1220
01:10:50,217 --> 01:10:51,182
In a free press.
1221
01:10:52,273 --> 01:10:55,224
Here, a courageous editor brought
his newspaper to the battle.
1222
01:10:55,447 --> 01:10:56,274
He fought.
1223
01:10:56,565 --> 01:10:57,793
His blows began to hurt.
1224
01:10:58,405 --> 01:11:00,898
And little men who had been
fooled or frightened began to stir.
1225
01:11:01,194 --> 01:11:02,724
To fall in behind his waving banner.
1226
01:11:03,391 --> 01:11:04,640
Then something happened.
1227
01:11:05,147 --> 01:11:07,769
Exactly what happened we
don't know. We may never know.
1228
01:11:08,734 --> 01:11:11,109
But we do know that the
voice of the public was stilled.
1229
01:11:11,489 --> 01:11:12,813
The press had been enslaved.
1230
01:11:13,565 --> 01:11:16,199
When the press lost its freedom
these people lost their freedom.
1231
01:11:17,978 --> 01:11:19,402
And freedom is no idle phrase.
1232
01:11:20,194 --> 01:11:21,491
It's close and personal.
1233
01:11:21,846 --> 01:11:24,428
It's the right of Wilfred Jackson,
Walter Hickby, Bennie Amboy.
1234
01:11:24,699 --> 01:11:27,244
These people. Of you and me,
weak and strong, big and little.
1235
01:11:27,422 --> 01:11:30,183
To follow our normal pursuits
in peace and without fear.
1236
01:11:31,871 --> 01:11:32,686
Your Honor.
1237
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:37,129
The situation uncovered here
today is a symptom of civic cancer.
1238
01:11:38,153 --> 01:11:41,381
We smell its malignancy not only
in the terror-stricken avoidance ..
1239
01:11:41,481 --> 01:11:44,695
Of civic duty by this parade of
bribed and intimidated witnesses.
1240
01:11:45,353 --> 01:11:48,127
Not only in the treasonable misconduct
of these of these public officials.
1241
01:11:49,094 --> 01:11:52,199
Not only in the violence, abuse
and even death which we've observed.
1242
01:11:53,254 --> 01:11:57,913
But in the growing helplessness of all
decent people and their apparent apathy.
1243
01:11:58,298 --> 01:12:00,114
To the tightening grip
of these ruthless men.
1244
01:12:01,660 --> 01:12:03,874
This cancer must be
traced down to its roots.
1245
01:12:04,678 --> 01:12:06,266
It must be cut out or it will spread.
1246
01:12:07,336 --> 01:12:09,337
When it spreads far enough
the community will die.
1247
01:12:13,157 --> 01:12:16,415
I therefore plea that this court free
the people of Bridgewood County ..
1248
01:12:16,515 --> 01:12:20,381
From this dictatorship of fear by
binding these defendants over for trial.
1249
01:12:22,190 --> 01:12:23,148
The state rests.
1250
01:12:27,846 --> 01:12:28,947
You mauled them, boy.
1251
01:12:31,118 --> 01:12:33,296
Are counsel ready to hear
the judgement of the court?
1252
01:12:37,578 --> 01:12:40,542
Despite the eloquent and sincere
plea of counsel for the state.
1253
01:12:41,210 --> 01:12:44,175
He well knows that my decision
must be rendered solely on the law.
1254
01:12:44,831 --> 01:12:46,816
And on the evidence
lawfully presented here.
1255
01:12:47,592 --> 01:12:50,048
No matter how strongly the court
may feel as a private individual.
1256
01:12:51,451 --> 01:12:52,795
The law is a stern master.
1257
01:12:53,470 --> 01:12:54,775
The law must govern.
1258
01:12:55,789 --> 01:12:57,550
I therefore find that ..
- Your Honor ..
1259
01:12:59,307 --> 01:13:00,122
Mr Stauton.
1260
01:13:00,990 --> 01:13:02,468
If the court permits.
1261
01:13:04,605 --> 01:13:08,182
On the grounds that evidence vital
to a proper decision in this case ..
1262
01:13:08,282 --> 01:13:09,768
Has not yet been disclosed.
1263
01:13:10,538 --> 01:13:12,230
May I recall a witness to the stand?
1264
01:13:12,491 --> 01:13:13,592
I object, Your Honor.
1265
01:13:13,730 --> 01:13:15,345
This is a hearing, not a trial.
1266
01:13:16,265 --> 01:13:17,463
Go ahead, Mr Stauton.
1267
01:13:18,598 --> 01:13:19,903
I call Haven Allridge.
1268
01:13:20,156 --> 01:13:21,659
Haven D. Allridge.
1269
01:13:36,082 --> 01:13:38,608
Mr Allridge, would you please
tell the court what happened ..
1270
01:13:38,708 --> 01:13:41,481
In the inner room at Amboy's
on the night of September 21st.
1271
01:13:43,704 --> 01:13:45,502
Were you or were you not present?
1272
01:13:45,976 --> 01:13:48,003
In the inside room on that night?
1273
01:13:49,929 --> 01:13:53,056
Mr Allridge, answer that question.
- It's not only you involved in this.
1274
01:13:53,156 --> 01:13:54,775
Were you in that room?
- Randy.
1275
01:13:55,573 --> 01:13:57,518
Peggy Stauton.
- Do you know what you're doing?
1276
01:13:58,305 --> 01:14:00,534
Object, object, object!
1277
01:14:00,857 --> 01:14:04,303
Would you please tell the court where
I was on the night of September 21st.
1278
01:14:04,650 --> 01:14:06,810
You were in room 14 at Bennie Amboy's.
1279
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,192
Object, Your Honor. Object!
1280
01:14:09,466 --> 01:14:10,940
This is beyond all bounds.
1281
01:14:11,362 --> 01:14:12,707
Objection sustained.
1282
01:14:19,691 --> 01:14:20,492
Alright.
1283
01:14:21,614 --> 01:14:25,266
On the night you met with the defendants
in the upstairs room at Amboy's.
1284
01:14:25,879 --> 01:14:27,406
Did you accept money from them?
1285
01:14:28,236 --> 01:14:29,027
I did not.
1286
01:14:29,330 --> 01:14:31,370
Did you accept some other
form of consideration?
1287
01:14:32,569 --> 01:14:33,241
I did.
1288
01:14:33,987 --> 01:14:36,845
Would you please tell the court
what happened in that room.
1289
01:14:38,086 --> 01:14:39,462
In full and true detail.
1290
01:14:40,715 --> 01:14:44,444
Mr Johnson's intimation of
the bribe offer and the beating.
1291
01:14:45,673 --> 01:14:46,475
Was true.
1292
01:14:47,588 --> 01:14:49,209
I was in a daze for a little while.
1293
01:14:49,767 --> 01:14:51,125
When I came out of it I was ..
1294
01:14:52,111 --> 01:14:54,377
"Being led into another room which I .."
1295
01:14:55,125 --> 01:14:56,492
"Took to be Tarsson's office."
1296
01:14:57,069 --> 01:14:58,631
Come here please, Mr Allridge.
1297
01:15:05,668 --> 01:15:06,855
What are you doing here?
1298
01:15:10,325 --> 01:15:11,858
I'm going to explain that now.
1299
01:15:13,313 --> 01:15:15,204
Remember, we've tried
every other means ..
1300
01:15:15,398 --> 01:15:18,030
Of persuading you to stop
printing your abusive articles.
1301
01:15:19,601 --> 01:15:23,297
This, as you can see is an indictment
concerning the death of Tom Kenny.
1302
01:15:24,183 --> 01:15:27,820
You may recall that at the time shortly
after Randy became prosecutor.
1303
01:15:28,205 --> 01:15:30,731
Some question was raised
about the coroner's finding ..
1304
01:15:30,919 --> 01:15:33,661
That Kenny's injuries were
inflicted by a hit-and-run driver.
1305
01:15:34,825 --> 01:15:38,377
This indictment alleges that he died
in the Bridgewood county jail ..
1306
01:15:38,477 --> 01:15:42,083
As the result of questioning by the
by the so-called kangaroo court.
1307
01:15:42,512 --> 01:15:45,002
And that his body was later
dumped beside the highway.
1308
01:15:46,296 --> 01:15:49,215
Why wasn't this indictment
returned by the grand jury?
1309
01:15:50,437 --> 01:15:52,512
Insufficient proof as I recall.
1310
01:15:53,009 --> 01:15:57,124
Although you may find it hard to believe
after reading these sworn statements ..
1311
01:15:57,224 --> 01:15:59,960
Of eyewitnesses who were
present in the jail that night.
1312
01:16:00,523 --> 01:16:02,919
The originals are safe
in the courthouse vault.
1313
01:16:04,567 --> 01:16:08,235
Not so fast, Mr Allridge. You're
missing the most interesting aspect.
1314
01:16:09,046 --> 01:16:10,863
These marginal notes.
1315
01:16:11,318 --> 01:16:13,365
Are in Randolph's handwriting.
1316
01:16:17,243 --> 01:16:19,266
It's a frame-up.
- Ask him.
1317
01:16:21,126 --> 01:16:21,798
Randy.
1318
01:16:23,304 --> 01:16:26,024
You didn't know about these when
you quashed that indictment, did you?
1319
01:16:29,445 --> 01:16:32,964
And why did he endorse this
cashier's check for $7,500?
1320
01:16:33,793 --> 01:16:36,499
The date coincides with the
withdrawal of the indictment.
1321
01:16:41,164 --> 01:16:43,201
Why, Randy? Why, why?
1322
01:16:45,351 --> 01:16:46,640
It wasn't the money, dad.
1323
01:16:47,924 --> 01:16:49,058
I was ambitious.
1324
01:16:50,581 --> 01:16:51,372
It was.
1325
01:16:52,266 --> 01:16:53,229
You know.
1326
01:16:54,225 --> 01:16:55,383
You make deals.
1327
01:16:56,196 --> 01:16:59,429
They promised me if I'd string along
they'd send me to the state capital.
1328
01:17:00,614 --> 01:17:02,678
Send you to the state capital?
1329
01:17:05,027 --> 01:17:06,920
They'll send you to
the state penitentiary.
1330
01:17:08,088 --> 01:17:09,887
For ten to twenty years.
1331
01:17:11,281 --> 01:17:14,529
A long, lonely time for your
daughter and the little one.
1332
01:17:15,910 --> 01:17:18,952
A child needs her father
in the springtime of her life.
1333
01:17:23,469 --> 01:17:25,263
As I said once before to Tarsson.
1334
01:17:25,934 --> 01:17:27,579
Every man has his price.
1335
01:17:29,053 --> 01:17:31,374
Mine was my daughter
and my granddaughter.
1336
01:17:32,198 --> 01:17:33,070
So I paid it.
1337
01:17:34,499 --> 01:17:37,174
Then I went back to the office
and turned over my evidence.
1338
01:17:38,480 --> 01:17:40,430
And sneaked out of
the city like a thief.
1339
01:17:45,461 --> 01:17:49,372
Your Honor has of course
perceived this obvious ..
1340
01:17:49,746 --> 01:17:52,600
Cloak and blackjack
story as a pure fabrication.
1341
01:17:53,304 --> 01:17:56,439
Mr Stauton has his eager young
eye on the coming election.
1342
01:17:57,133 --> 01:17:57,924
Partly.
1343
01:17:58,598 --> 01:18:01,250
Mr Stauton has just deliberately
and courageously ..
1344
01:18:01,445 --> 01:18:03,751
Nominated himself for a term
in the state penitentiary.
1345
01:18:07,117 --> 01:18:08,774
Does defence wish to cross-examine?
1346
01:18:11,021 --> 01:18:11,836
Your Honor.
1347
01:18:11,936 --> 01:18:15,187
I ask for an emergency search warrant on
the documents for the Tom Kenny case.
1348
01:18:15,450 --> 01:18:17,167
Now Your Honor, obviously ..
1349
01:18:17,494 --> 01:18:23,459
The gravity of the situation demands a
thorough and painstaking investigation.
1350
01:18:30,091 --> 01:18:33,052
I would like to read certain
relevant matter from the statutes.
1351
01:18:33,327 --> 01:18:35,833
Your Honor. The emergency
demands an immediate ruling.
1352
01:18:42,271 --> 01:18:45,562
You missed the best part, K.C. Where the
good guys chew the ears off bad guys.
1353
01:18:45,789 --> 01:18:47,899
Buck, let go of my arm.
You want to break it off?
1354
01:18:48,275 --> 01:18:48,926
Yeah.
1355
01:18:51,391 --> 01:18:54,725
And I would further like to
read from the state reports.
1356
01:18:55,592 --> 01:18:58,101
In the case of the
people versus Addison.
1357
01:18:58,438 --> 01:18:59,265
Your Honor.
1358
01:18:59,790 --> 01:19:02,484
Your Honor, physical duress
right before your eyes.
1359
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:10,163
I offer this in evidence.
1360
01:19:12,018 --> 01:19:14,536
It certainly seems to have been
executed with admirable despatch.
1361
01:19:17,715 --> 01:19:19,399
Has Mr Stauton identified the documents?
1362
01:19:25,175 --> 01:19:26,780
Your Honor, the prosecution rests.
1363
01:19:29,099 --> 01:19:31,993
Prosecution will rest more comfortably
after dismissing its witness.
1364
01:19:32,497 --> 01:19:33,538
Witness dismissed.
1365
01:19:37,542 --> 01:19:38,537
Forgive me.
1366
01:19:39,332 --> 01:19:40,375
I thank you.
1367
01:19:42,992 --> 01:19:45,308
Counsel and defendants will
rise to hear judgement.
1368
01:19:49,473 --> 01:19:51,346
The court finds in favor
of the prosecution.
1369
01:19:52,403 --> 01:19:54,276
And orders the defendants
bound over for trial.
1370
01:19:55,454 --> 01:19:57,839
And in view of possible
physical danger to witnesses ..
1371
01:19:57,939 --> 01:19:59,559
While these defendants are at large.
1372
01:20:00,135 --> 01:20:03,258
I order that they be held without
bail in the Bridgewood County Jail.
1373
01:20:04,262 --> 01:20:06,183
Mister, you are in my county.
1374
01:20:10,204 --> 01:20:11,762
Who is going to put us in there?
1375
01:20:12,459 --> 01:20:13,680
The law, Mr Burke.
1376
01:20:14,734 --> 01:20:17,206
It is bigger than men.
Stronger than force.
1377
01:20:17,870 --> 01:20:20,473
You can't shoot it, you can't
bribe it, you can't threaten it.
1378
01:20:21,244 --> 01:20:22,017
Nobody.
1379
01:20:22,386 --> 01:20:24,049
No person, no group, no gang.
1380
01:20:24,338 --> 01:20:27,124
Nobody in this country has ever
been big enough to defy it for long.
1381
01:20:28,082 --> 01:20:31,704
Because the law is the united will
of all people acting in concert.
1382
01:20:33,718 --> 01:20:34,722
Are you that big?
1383
01:20:38,035 --> 01:20:39,050
Come on. Let's go.
1384
01:20:49,193 --> 01:20:50,219
Session adjourned.
1385
01:20:57,554 --> 01:20:59,605
Jackson. Judge says come on out.
1386
01:21:12,696 --> 01:21:14,429
It's going to be pretty
rough on Stauton.
1387
01:21:14,802 --> 01:21:17,389
That was no joyride he just finished.
- I guess not.
1388
01:21:18,587 --> 01:21:20,084
No. Not for any of them.
1389
01:21:25,897 --> 01:21:29,304
Can you delay your leave a few weeks and
help me get this case ready for trial?
1390
01:21:29,594 --> 01:21:31,124
What became of your big outside job?
1391
01:21:31,391 --> 01:21:33,694
l want to nail these characters
down so they don't come loose.
1392
01:21:33,899 --> 01:21:36,402
You'll spend the rest of your life
in the attorney general's office.
1393
01:21:36,502 --> 01:21:39,244
And what will you have to show for it?
- Satisfaction, Buck.
1394
01:21:39,595 --> 01:21:41,620
Satisfaction of pulling your
own share of the wagon.
1395
01:21:41,973 --> 01:21:45,099
With all its creaks and squeaks it's
a pretty good wagon to be hitched to.
1396
01:22:40,437 --> 01:22:41,382
