One of the most controversial
figures in early Los Angeles
3
00:00:24,763 --> 00:00:26,504
was Major Horace Bell--
4
00:00:26,548 --> 00:00:29,159
newspaper editor, attorney,
5
00:00:29,203 --> 00:00:31,466

of the Los Angeles rangers,

of volunteers

with military experience.

Although his newspaper,
The Porcupine,
9
00:00:38,299 --> 00:00:40,562
stuck into the hides
of many citizens,
10
00:00:40,605 --> 00:00:44,044

done, the call went out for...

went to bed early.

the grape when it was reddest?

San Peter was three hours late

due to a gallon of brandy
and a broken axel.
22

The fiesta at the ballet union
was broken up by a skunk.

unidentified man about 50

in a brewery vat.

I warned you.

It's none of your business.
This man killed my brother.

judge him, not you.

humanity a kindness

Step out of that noose,
kid, and come on over here.

Anybody accusing
this man of murder

will have a chance to prove
it in the court of law.

a card with printing on it.

Um, Judge Wattles,
may I speak with you?

I'm unavailable.

It's Major Bell again.
He insists.

some rain must fall."

hung out his shingle here,

the accused.

As usual. How's it look?
83

The accused has waved
his right to a jury trial.

We could clean it up
in a half an hour.

That Bell does things
like this just to annoy me,
87
00:04:42,020 --> 00:04:44,719

then it's my fault.
88

over till tomorrow.

there's one important thing

I want from you,
no matter what it costs.
95

I want the absolute truth.

I didn't kill him, Major Bell.
That's the truth.

He pulled his knife on me,
said he'd kill us both.

Lots of times.
I didn't worry about myself,
100

but when he threatened Rose,
that was different.

like I told you.

say it's a role

thrust upon me.

breezes of San Pedro today.

it here, you might make it.

I saw my brother this morning
179
00:09:28,742 --> 00:09:31,048
before he left
to open up the saloon,
180
00:09:31,092 --> 00:09:33,747
and he told me Gid
was in drunk last night
181
00:09:33,790 --> 00:09:37,141
and warned him to keep away
from that, that...
182
00:09:39,361 --> 00:09:41,319
I mean, Miss Tosca.
183
00:09:41,363 --> 00:09:43,147
And then, a couple
of hours later,
184
00:09:43,191 --> 00:09:45,149
somebody come in
and said there'd been a fight
185
00:09:45,193 --> 00:09:47,282
and Lem was hurt,
so I rushed out
186
00:09:47,325 --> 00:09:50,851
and I see Rose
and Gid and the cook
187
00:09:50,894 --> 00:09:53,984
was trying to help Lem,
but he was nearby dead.
188
00:09:54,028 --> 00:09:56,770
And then I went
for Sam and some others
189
00:09:56,813 --> 00:09:59,555
to do a little justice to Gid.
190
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:00,861
What's the name of that cook?
191
00:10:00,904 --> 00:10:02,950
Juan Peralta, I think.
192
00:10:02,993 --> 00:10:05,692
Send over to Dos Amigos
and get the cook, Juan Peralta.
193
00:10:05,735 --> 00:10:08,042
I want him here fast.Yes, sir.
194
00:10:08,085 --> 00:10:10,261
Your witness, Major.
195
00:10:12,568 --> 00:10:14,831
Did you talk to your brother
before he died?
196
00:10:14,875 --> 00:10:17,268
He couldn't talk. He was dying.
197
00:10:17,312 --> 00:10:18,922
Didn't you and your
brother once try
198
00:10:18,966 --> 00:10:21,229
to lynch a man out in El Monte?
199
00:10:21,272 --> 00:10:24,754
That was during the war and
he was running down Jeff Davis.

Objection.WATTLES:
Sustained.
201
00:10:27,235 --> 00:10:29,803
Isn't that why you tried
to lynch Gid King?
202
00:10:29,846 --> 00:10:31,239
Objection!
203
00:10:31,282 --> 00:10:34,242
And isn't that why
you're defending him?
204
00:10:34,285 --> 00:10:36,592
Because you and him
are both Yankees?
205
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:38,333
[ crowd muttering,

206
00:10:38,376 --> 00:10:40,378
WATTLES:
Order. Order.
207
00:10:40,422 --> 00:10:43,599
And isn't it true that while
your beloved state of Alabama
208
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:45,949
was fighting for what
it considered right,
209
00:10:45,993 --> 00:10:48,125
you and your brother
were in Arizona
210
00:10:48,169 --> 00:10:50,954
selling beef
to the Federal cavalry?
211
00:10:50,998 --> 00:10:54,436
You got a big mouth,
little girl.
212
00:10:54,479 --> 00:10:56,960
If that dirty little...
213
00:10:57,004 --> 00:10:59,310
I mean, Miss Tosca,
tolds you that--
214
00:10:59,354 --> 00:11:02,313
Well, that's enough of that.
Stick to the case.
215
00:11:02,357 --> 00:11:04,751
That's all, Your Honor.
216
00:11:04,794 --> 00:11:07,014
Would you call
my next witness, please?
217
00:11:09,277 --> 00:11:13,803
Next witness, Miss Rose Tosca.
218
00:11:23,465 --> 00:11:25,510
Raise your right hand, please.
219
00:11:25,554 --> 00:11:28,078
Do you solemnly swear to tell
the truth, the whole truth,
220
00:11:28,122 --> 00:11:30,298
and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
221
00:11:30,341 --> 00:11:31,952
I do.
222
00:11:31,995 --> 00:11:33,518
Be seated.
223
00:11:37,958 --> 00:11:42,353
Miss Tosca, why did you visit
the Dos Amigosthis morning?
224
00:11:42,397 --> 00:11:46,009
You knew how it was
between Gid and Lem and me,
225
00:11:46,053 --> 00:11:47,837
and I didn't want trouble.
226
00:11:47,881 --> 00:11:50,144
I was afraid of Lem.
227
00:11:50,187 --> 00:11:54,235
So you risked
what you considered danger?
228
00:11:54,278 --> 00:11:57,891
But it wasn't for me,
it was for Gid.
229
00:11:57,934 --> 00:12:00,589
I didn't want
anything to happen to him,
230
00:12:00,632 --> 00:12:04,201
and that's why I thought
talking to Lem might help.
231
00:12:04,245 --> 00:12:05,812
What happened then?
232
00:12:05,855 --> 00:12:08,684
The place was empty.
233
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:12,601
I was in the back room
arguing with Lem.
234
00:12:12,644 --> 00:12:14,821
Then Gid came in,
235
00:12:14,864 --> 00:12:17,693
and they fought,
236
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:20,304
and Lem, he fell on the floor,
237
00:12:20,348 --> 00:12:23,264
and the knife was stuck in him.
238
00:12:24,265 --> 00:12:27,181
And we tried to help him,
he was dying.
239
00:12:27,224 --> 00:12:29,836
Was there anyone else
around the place?
240
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:33,143
There was the cook
back in the kitchen,
241
00:12:33,187 --> 00:12:36,277
and he did try
to come in and help us.
242
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,018
Did anyone send for a doctor?
243
00:12:38,061 --> 00:12:39,715
Oh, I don't know.
244
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:42,283
I told Gid that Buzzer
would be after him.
245
00:12:42,326 --> 00:12:44,154
That's when he went
and hid in the brickyard,
246
00:12:44,198 --> 00:12:48,332
and then I came
and got you, Major.
247
00:12:49,333 --> 00:12:52,380
Describe the stabbing, Rose.
248
00:12:52,423 --> 00:12:55,165
Lem was trying to stick
Gid with a knife.
249
00:12:55,209 --> 00:12:57,820
It was terrible.
250
00:12:57,864 --> 00:13:01,519
They fell down fighting
and then they rolled over,
251
00:13:01,563 --> 00:13:04,218
and I saw the knife
252
00:13:04,261 --> 00:13:06,829
and the blood.

That'll be all, thank you.
256
00:13:15,969 --> 00:13:20,190
Your honor, may I question
another witness at this point?

Mr. Peralta?

Do you solemnly swear...

Hurry up, Bailiff. It's hot.
263

Oh, sí, I went to the market

Later, Juan. The fight.

00:14:13,069 --> 00:14:15,898
Oh, that's right, the fight.
They were fighting all over.

You should have been there,
señor Judge.

They were fighting all over.

señorCrandall is lying
on the floor with some blood.
277
00:14:24,864 --> 00:14:26,517
Could you see
where the knife stuck him?
278
00:14:26,561 --> 00:14:30,217
Oh, sí. Right in the back.
279
00:14:30,260 --> 00:14:31,392
Right here.
280
00:14:31,435 --> 00:14:33,176
I helped put him in the bed.

00:14:33,220 --> 00:14:34,612
What happened then?

You gave the dead man
a drink of whiskey?

He was breathing. I only
wanted him to feel better.

alone in the back room?

we were all ready.

that there's been no official
report of a murder,

no death weapon, and nobody's
seen a dead body,

stand adjourned

can be verified.

there's been no murder.

becomes excited

00:18:33,808 --> 00:18:36,767
with a hole in his back.
353
00:18:36,811 --> 00:18:40,249
Miss Tosca,
this court charges you
354
00:18:40,293 --> 00:18:41,729
with assault
with a deadly weapon.
355
00:18:41,772 --> 00:18:44,297
Bailiff, get a date
set for trial.
356
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:48,127
Why not now?
We all know she's guilty.
357
00:18:48,170 --> 00:18:50,346
That's not a bad idea.
358
00:18:50,390 --> 00:18:53,784
I've got to leave town
tomorrow for a...
359
00:18:53,828 --> 00:18:56,004
for some important business.
360
00:18:56,047 --> 00:18:59,703
Uh, Bell, are you
representing Miss Tosca?
361
00:19:01,357 --> 00:19:03,316
Well, the law says
that you get a
362
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,710
proper amount of time
to prepare your case.
363
00:19:06,754 --> 00:19:09,191
How's about it?
364
00:19:09,235 --> 00:19:11,062
We're ready, Your Honor.
365
00:19:11,106 --> 00:19:13,369
Take the stand, please.
366
00:19:17,982 --> 00:19:19,332
Raise your right hand.
367
00:19:19,375 --> 00:19:22,291
Do you solemnly swear--She already did.
368
00:19:22,335 --> 00:19:26,774
Sit down, Miss Tosca. Now,
how do you plead? Yes or no?
369
00:19:29,168 --> 00:19:30,908
Not guilty, sir.
370
00:19:30,952 --> 00:19:32,562
It's a trick.
371
00:19:32,606 --> 00:19:35,174
Another low-down Yankee trick.
372
00:19:35,217 --> 00:19:38,264
Throw him out.
373
00:19:40,831 --> 00:19:42,224
Mr. Buzzer.
374
00:19:42,268 --> 00:19:44,835
You take your hands off me.
375
00:19:47,925 --> 00:19:50,493
Getting so there's
no justice around here.
376
00:19:50,537 --> 00:19:53,409
Well we're going to get some!
377
00:19:53,453 --> 00:19:55,498
Come on, Sam.
378
00:20:00,938 --> 00:20:04,246
Order.
379
00:20:04,290 --> 00:20:06,814
You may examine, Mr. Billings.
380
00:20:06,857 --> 00:20:10,731
Miss Tosca, you said
there were only three of you
381
00:20:10,774 --> 00:20:13,299
at the Dos Amigosthis morning.
382
00:20:14,822 --> 00:20:16,867
That's right, sir.
383
00:20:16,911 --> 00:20:19,261
And that those three
were Len Crandall,
384
00:20:19,305 --> 00:20:22,395
Gid King, and yourself?
385
00:20:22,438 --> 00:20:24,310
That's right.
386
00:20:24,353 --> 00:20:27,835
Now, you realize
that Lem Crandall has sworn
387
00:20:27,878 --> 00:20:31,360
that it was impossible for
Gid King to have stabbed him.
388
00:20:33,449 --> 00:20:36,713
Nothing could be
more apparent, Your Honor.
389
00:20:36,757 --> 00:20:40,021
Well Major, anything
you'd care to say?
390
00:20:40,064 --> 00:20:43,372
Yes, I'd like to ask my client
a couple of questions.
391
00:20:45,635 --> 00:20:48,377
Rose,
392
00:20:48,421 --> 00:20:51,293
did you stab Lem Crandall?
393
00:20:51,337 --> 00:20:53,469
Yes.
394
00:20:53,513 --> 00:20:57,343
Yes, I did.Why?
395
00:20:57,386 --> 00:20:59,910
Because I was afraid
he'd kill Gid and me, too.
396
00:20:59,954 --> 00:21:01,738
Did he threaten to kill you?
397
00:21:01,782 --> 00:21:03,436
Yes.
398
00:21:03,479 --> 00:21:06,700
He used to brag about what he'd
done to people who crossed him.
399
00:21:06,743 --> 00:21:09,485
Is that why
you carried a knife?
400
00:21:09,529 --> 00:21:12,358
Yes.
401
00:21:12,401 --> 00:21:15,012
He said he'd kill
Gid and me both
402
00:21:15,056 --> 00:21:18,364
if I didn't run away with him.
403
00:21:18,407 --> 00:21:22,019
Used to talk about it
all the time.
404
00:21:22,063 --> 00:21:24,761
I had the knife.
405
00:21:28,199 --> 00:21:32,465
I couldn't help it.
406
00:21:32,508 --> 00:21:36,730
I couldn't help it.
407
00:21:36,773 --> 00:21:38,949
Your Honor, I submit
that Rose Tosca
408
00:21:38,993 --> 00:21:41,343
has proven herself innocent
on the ground of--
409
00:21:41,387 --> 00:21:45,304
Self defense. Not guilty.
Case dismissed.
410
00:22:09,545 --> 00:22:12,896
Major Bell?
411
00:22:12,940 --> 00:22:15,899
I got something for you.
412
00:22:15,943 --> 00:22:18,424
Crandall, you've caused
enough trouble.
413
00:22:20,295 --> 00:22:22,602
You think you're pretty
dang smart, don't you?
414
00:22:22,645 --> 00:22:24,168
Smart enough to know
when justice
415
00:22:24,212 --> 00:22:25,692
has been done
in a court of law.
416
00:22:25,735 --> 00:22:28,390
You lied about me and
my brother in a court of law.
417
00:22:28,434 --> 00:22:29,739
Now nobody,
418
00:22:29,783 --> 00:22:32,612
not enough the great
Major Horace Bell,
419
00:22:32,655 --> 00:22:34,875
does that to us Crandall's.
420
00:22:34,918 --> 00:22:37,530
Why don't you go
have a drink and forget it?
421
00:23:07,429 --> 00:23:09,475
Come on, let him have it, Bell.
422
00:23:09,518 --> 00:23:12,434
It's legal. He started it.
423
00:23:24,446 --> 00:23:25,839
Bell,
424
00:23:25,882 --> 00:23:28,363
since I've served on the bench
here in Los Angeles,
425
00:23:28,407 --> 00:23:30,365
I've said a great
many things about you,
426
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:32,454
but I have never stated
427
00:23:32,498 --> 00:23:35,152
that you were lacking
in brains or courage.
428
00:23:35,196 --> 00:23:39,156
Right now, I'd like
to drink a toast to that.
429
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,767
Come on.
430
00:23:40,810 --> 00:23:43,334
Well, Your Honor, modesty's
never been one of my virtues.
431
00:23:43,378 --> 00:23:45,424
I'd be happy
to have a drink with you.
432
00:23:45,467 --> 00:23:49,689
That does include my friends,
doesn't it?
433
00:23:52,474 --> 00:23:55,782
Well, why not?
434
00:24:05,139 --> 00:24:07,010
A high-rise building now stands
435
00:24:07,054 --> 00:24:09,665
on the old Bell ranch
in Los Angeles,
436
00:24:09,709 --> 00:24:12,842
but Bell street still remains.
437
00:24:12,886 --> 00:24:14,757
This copy of his newspaper,
438
00:24:14,801 --> 00:24:17,151
loaned to us by the
Los Angeles County Museum,
439
00:24:17,194 --> 00:24:19,675
still reflects the wit, daring,
440
00:24:19,719 --> 00:24:22,373
and courage
of Major Horace Bell,
441
00:24:22,417 --> 00:24:24,201
one of the most
colorful characters
442
00:24:24,245 --> 00:24:25,594
of the Old Southwest.
