Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:45,380 --> 00:02:47,112
Here we are, ladies.
2
00:02:47,312 --> 00:02:50,868
100% cotton made right here in America.
3
00:02:51,068 --> 00:02:52,981
Watch it!
4
00:02:53,181 --> 00:02:56,157
Are you blind?
5
00:03:00,890 --> 00:03:04,090
Give me a couple a boxes here
6
00:03:04,290 --> 00:03:05,570
run them low
7
00:03:20,846 --> 00:03:24,374
How many times I gotta tell you to
keep your hands off my merchandise?
8
00:03:26,260 --> 00:03:27,399
This is yours?
9
00:03:28,982 --> 00:03:31,621
Didn't mean to knock it down,
just wanted to see it!
10
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,041
I'm really sorry!
11
00:03:33,241 --> 00:03:34,775
There's nothing to be sorry about.
12
00:03:35,420 --> 00:03:36,849
How much for the ball?
Five cents.
13
00:03:38,980 --> 00:03:40,286
It's yours now.
14
00:03:40,486 --> 00:03:41,901
Thanks, mister!
15
00:03:48,326 --> 00:03:50,714
My name is Dave.
David Stevenson,
16
00:03:51,619 --> 00:03:54,159
but my friends call me Steve
Fred loves the name
17
00:03:54,359 --> 00:03:57,241
If you ain't right about that heat
18
00:03:59,249 --> 00:04:01,021
I can get you something nice and cold
19
00:04:01,941 --> 00:04:03,698
with a bite if it'll mind
20
00:04:04,783 --> 00:04:07,714
I hope you're talking about root beer.
21
00:04:10,234 --> 00:04:11,583
Start supporter the prohibition
22
00:04:11,783 --> 00:04:15,252
if he must use the
alcoholic that blend in well and reckon home
23
00:04:16,044 --> 00:04:18,394
Right enough I guess.
24
00:04:18,594 --> 00:04:20,712
If you're new about here
25
00:04:20,912 --> 00:04:22,040
I'm from down of Indianapolis.
26
00:04:22,713 --> 00:04:23,752
I'm in the coal business
27
00:04:23,966 --> 00:04:26,024
Hey hey, I'm trying to sell some
pencils here mr. Fred
28
00:04:26,775 --> 00:04:28,039
You gonna get them or
said I widdle them?
29
00:04:34,169 --> 00:04:37,638
You're looking at something?
oh no I'm sorry
30
00:04:37,838 --> 00:04:38,795
Excuse me, I was..
31
00:04:38,995 --> 00:04:41,546
I was just thinking that
it's a hell of a thing
32
00:04:42,891 --> 00:04:46,590
A man who wears a silver star and the only job
he can get is a job selling pencils
33
00:04:48,463 --> 00:04:49,176
How'd it happen?
34
00:04:51,524 --> 00:04:54,509
Artillery barrage, Aragon
35
00:04:54,709 --> 00:04:58,830
I was at Bellawood but we never
saw it the way you boys did at Aragon
36
00:04:59,030 --> 00:05:01,953
Bellawood?
Yeah.
37
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,545
Years and years of war but
we come home to immigrants
38
00:05:14,745 --> 00:05:19,334
Or immigrants crowding us out of our jobs
39
00:05:20,986 --> 00:05:25,090
overwhelming our schools and
our elected officials
40
00:05:25,849 --> 00:05:28,156
using public
office for private prop
41
00:05:28,848 --> 00:05:32,151
Maybe your elected officials
sure as hell ain't mine
42
00:05:32,388 --> 00:05:36,712
yeah, what about crime?
Gangsters and thugs
43
00:05:36,912 --> 00:05:39,164
making a mockery of the law
44
00:05:39,682 --> 00:05:42,453
My point is my point exactly
me doesn't it seem to you folks
45
00:05:42,653 --> 00:05:46,494
I don't know, there's
something wrong with America
46
00:05:47,671 --> 00:05:51,375
The values sighs that
we fought and died for, disappearing
47
00:05:53,434 --> 00:05:55,196
disappear right before our very eyes.
48
00:05:57,352 --> 00:05:58,566
But you know?
49
00:05:59,591 --> 00:06:00,926
there is a way to make a difference
50
00:06:02,043 --> 00:06:04,480
there is something for us to do
51
00:06:04,864 --> 00:06:06,495
there is something we can all do:
52
00:06:07,187 --> 00:06:10,261
to capture the promise of this great land
53
00:06:12,949 --> 00:06:14,180
before it's too late.
54
00:06:16,506 --> 00:06:18,028
Have any of you ever met a teacher before?
55
00:06:19,292 --> 00:06:20,450
Do any of you know how to read?
56
00:06:20,736 --> 00:06:22,075
Raise your hand if you do!
57
00:06:26,829 --> 00:06:28,981
okay, my name
is Miss Oberholtzer and I'm a teacher
58
00:06:30,931 --> 00:06:34,514
what's your name?
your first name?
59
00:06:39,111 --> 00:06:42,787
yes my name's Jesse
you hush, Jesse!
60
00:06:43,259 --> 00:06:47,015
Thank you, Jesse, that's a very pretty name
61
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:49,541
Does anyone know how to spell their name?
62
00:06:52,961 --> 00:06:56,236
Has anyone ever been to a school,
any kind of school?
63
00:06:57,357 --> 00:07:01,505
To a school!
Pardon me?
64
00:07:02,871 --> 00:07:03,693
To a school!
65
00:07:07,737 --> 00:07:09,370
A school is a place
where you learn things
66
00:07:09,533 --> 00:07:11,690
Would you like to learn how to spell your name?
67
00:07:18,990 --> 00:07:21,174
Hold that black board
68
00:07:23,070 --> 00:07:24,709
holds great here it's a chalk
69
00:07:24,909 --> 00:07:26,548
Now what's your name?
Ronnie
70
00:07:27,207 --> 00:07:29,586
Ronnie very nicely, start with an R
71
00:07:34,729 --> 00:07:39,700
O, here comes an N..
He hang on to no good
72
00:07:40,797 --> 00:07:42,801
ain't got time for school
73
00:07:43,001 --> 00:07:46,310
We're always moving from town to town for work
74
00:07:47,363 --> 00:07:49,077
they just ain't got time for school
75
00:07:56,264 --> 00:07:56,264
Be realistic, you want them to read
76
00:07:56,464 --> 00:07:57,711
they don't even know what the alphabet is
77
00:07:57,911 --> 00:08:00,304
All these kids need is an opportunity
78
00:08:00,504 --> 00:08:03,641
they need instruction and books and materials
and that's where I come in
79
00:08:03,841 --> 00:08:06,027
Madge, you got a promotion,
I'm happy for you!
80
00:08:06,638 --> 00:08:11,783
but don't think an office of the
Department of Education is a fancy tailor
81
00:08:14,096 --> 00:08:15,998
Ronnie that's wonderful, thank you!
82
00:08:17,765 --> 00:08:19,052
I'm gonna miss teaching
83
00:08:19,382 --> 00:08:21,431
but I didn't give it up so I could
have a private office
84
00:08:21,748 --> 00:08:23,235
I gave it up so I can make a difference
85
00:08:23,755 --> 00:08:25,117
I mean things are going to change!
86
00:08:25,872 --> 00:08:27,037
I wish that were true, Madge
87
00:08:27,771 --> 00:08:30,029
I'll make it true!
88
00:08:31,297 --> 00:08:33,644
I'm sorry!
Well here let me get it.
89
00:08:33,968 --> 00:08:36,665
No, no, you don't know
I got plenty of work to do
90
00:08:37,043 --> 00:08:38,565
if you need the text why
don't you just use it
91
00:08:38,765 --> 00:08:40,288
and then when you finish give it back to me.
92
00:08:40,540 --> 00:08:42,208
Are you sure?
Sure, absolutely of course.
93
00:08:42,408 --> 00:08:42,969
I got plenty of work to do.
94
00:08:45,214 --> 00:08:46,973
oh well thanks.
Madge Oberholtzer
95
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,095
Klell Henry. Klell it's a family name.
96
00:08:52,295 --> 00:08:54,560
Oberholtzer
Thanks again.
97
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:16,393
Well, are you an attorney?
98
00:09:16,593 --> 00:09:18,400
um yes I am, I am...
99
00:09:21,862 --> 00:09:23,992
I'm a assistant prosecutor for the county
100
00:09:24,762 --> 00:09:26,683
Oh, good have you heard of the
young people's reading circles?
101
00:09:26,883 --> 00:09:28,395
It's part of the State
Department of Education.
102
00:09:29,533 --> 00:09:31,784
Sure.
well, no.
103
00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:35,075
well I run it and I'm
trying to develop a program
104
00:09:35,275 --> 00:09:37,349
to provide books for
itinerant farm children.
105
00:09:37,868 --> 00:09:39,224
And I have to be pretty careful to write
106
00:09:39,424 --> 00:09:41,017
something that operates
within state guidelines
107
00:09:41,464 --> 00:09:43,443
Would you take a look up,please?
108
00:09:47,833 --> 00:09:51,337
Sure, but...
109
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,782
I practice criminal law and it's not same.
110
00:09:57,178 --> 00:09:58,764
Are you an attorney?
Oh no, I'm a teacher.
111
00:09:59,391 --> 00:09:59,707
I was
112
00:10:01,692 --> 00:10:03,685
Well, you you've done a fabulous job.
113
00:10:03,885 --> 00:10:06,578
This conforms to all the
requisite manuals..
114
00:10:07,231 --> 00:10:09,865
You might want to present this to
the Ways and Means Subcommittee
115
00:10:11,179 --> 00:10:12,912
instead of going through the finance people.
116
00:10:15,112 --> 00:10:17,723
Might help you from getting lost
in the shuffle.
117
00:10:19,168 --> 00:10:19,702
Oh
118
00:10:20,432 --> 00:10:22,714
County Prosecutor?
oh I'll remember that, thanks.
119
00:10:27,891 --> 00:10:30,439
The itinerant laborers follow a
pattern moving from farm to farm.
120
00:10:30,956 --> 00:10:35,063
I propose we locate the textbook distribution
points along primary rural routes.
121
00:10:36,373 --> 00:10:39,200
Sound expensive, miss Overholser
122
00:10:39,398 --> 00:10:42,703
Sir, if we don't educate these children
now we will end up supporting them later.
123
00:10:43,954 --> 00:10:47,366
If it costs money, no way mr. Kenley
won't give books to negros.
124
00:10:47,965 --> 00:10:49,903
remember what he said when I
asked for a raise?
125
00:10:50,491 --> 00:10:51,872
Yes, he said no!
126
00:10:53,437 --> 00:10:54,505
Excuse me.
127
00:10:58,780 --> 00:11:01,825
There was air draft from there.
128
00:11:03,025 --> 00:11:05,835
Gentlemen this program will work.
129
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,948
We can give these children a future.
130
00:11:09,037 --> 00:11:10,960
we can give these children hope.
131
00:11:11,094 --> 00:11:13,968
All we have to do is give
them something to read
132
00:11:14,168 --> 00:11:16,043
besides the labels on feed sacks
133
00:11:18,375 --> 00:11:23,556
Would you want to personally
oversee this program?
134
00:11:24,308 --> 00:11:25,066
Yes, I would.
135
00:11:29,736 --> 00:11:31,992
A rather lofty propulsion
for a young woman.
136
00:11:33,230 --> 00:11:34,818
yes well look at the time
137
00:11:36,090 --> 00:11:39,720
Ah I don't think we've ever
heard a better presentation
138
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,270
Thank you.
139
00:11:41,392 --> 00:11:42,673
Certainly enough for me young lady.
140
00:11:44,583 --> 00:11:46,558
We've never heard a
presentation from a young lady.
141
00:12:14,830 --> 00:12:16,133
This is a nice crowd...
142
00:12:16,574 --> 00:12:17,905
And I'll see the membership table
143
00:12:18,627 --> 00:12:21,024
It's no use spreading the good word
if we can't sign up the new converts
144
00:12:21,325 --> 00:12:22,781
We had it set up at the back of the park.
145
00:12:22,981 --> 00:12:24,579
We'll begin as soon as you start speaking.
146
00:12:24,779 --> 00:12:28,406
Mike took the new ship of the rose
he won't get caught short on the big sizes again
147
00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:30,231
Good man oh
148
00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:32,674
Mark the extra-large another 50 cents
149
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,442
A marine the other day left his legs in the war
150
00:12:47,816 --> 00:12:50,224
Now he sells pencils because
he can't get a good job.
151
00:12:52,911 --> 00:12:54,529
My name is David Stevenson
152
00:12:55,191 --> 00:12:56,341
my friends call me Steve
153
00:12:58,078 --> 00:13:01,423
War' years are over, we're home now
154
00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:05,532
Now is the healing time for America!
155
00:13:05,732 --> 00:13:12,429
The time when Americans band together to
help stop the decline of this great nation!
156
00:13:14,625 --> 00:13:18,098
but instead we've got keep
hot dull on Al Capone!
157
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:22,399
We must stop the gangsters, the swindlers
and the robber barons
158
00:13:22,599 --> 00:13:25,557
who would steal our rightful
inheritance!
159
00:13:28,478 --> 00:13:31,345
we must up the flood of unwashed methods
160
00:13:32,588 --> 00:13:34,546
that will dilute that inheritance
by sheer numbers!
161
00:13:37,724 --> 00:13:40,029
America is a country built upon the faith in God
162
00:13:41,516 --> 00:13:42,830
and the belief in country!
163
00:13:45,033 --> 00:13:48,401
I obey the law and I condemn the devil alcohol
164
00:13:48,622 --> 00:13:52,709
because it more than anything else
it's destroying the American family!
165
00:13:52,873 --> 00:13:54,719
Son of a gun, look who's here!
166
00:13:56,465 --> 00:14:00,853
Don't say son of a gun, that's a
terrible thing for a very young lady to say!
167
00:14:01,053 --> 00:14:02,965
A remark of my father.
168
00:14:04,475 --> 00:14:06,135
We had lunch, daddy, I'm sorry!
169
00:14:06,913 --> 00:14:09,343
Alright, give me a chance
to see your new office, there's still time.
170
00:14:09,543 --> 00:14:12,319
I can't, I gave my proposal to
Kenley this morning
171
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:14,069
so I have to be here to see there's
any questions.
172
00:14:15,712 --> 00:14:17,642
28 years old and still not married
173
00:14:18,454 --> 00:14:19,748
A girl as pretty as this!
174
00:14:19,948 --> 00:14:21,820
If I was her I'd never get married
175
00:14:22,020 --> 00:14:24,305
I trade in my husband in a second
176
00:14:25,404 --> 00:14:28,249
well, can somebody else take care of
the future of Indiana youths for an hour?
177
00:14:28,449 --> 00:14:29,384
I can't
178
00:14:30,724 --> 00:14:32,301
What's going on in the park?
179
00:14:32,740 --> 00:14:35,128
Oh another one of those political
things helps them Mason
180
00:14:35,328 --> 00:14:36,650
something like that I think.
181
00:14:36,850 --> 00:14:38,447
They're handing out flyers.
182
00:14:39,018 --> 00:14:40,570
Seems like somebody's always joining something
183
00:14:42,091 --> 00:14:44,560
listen I'm sorry about lunch
It's all right.
184
00:14:45,945 --> 00:14:47,573
We'll do it another time
185
00:14:48,250 --> 00:14:49,978
I know your work is important to you.
186
00:14:50,178 --> 00:14:52,339
Daddy..
Really, keep it up!
187
00:14:53,295 --> 00:14:55,547
And I like your new office, Maggie, a lot!
188
00:14:56,643 --> 00:14:59,892
I was 15 years on the job before
I had an office like this!
189
00:15:01,751 --> 00:15:03,031
I believe in God!
190
00:15:03,391 --> 00:15:05,924
I believe in God, the one true christian God!
191
00:15:06,738 --> 00:15:11,197
I respect womanhood, I believe in the
values of chastity, decency and family
192
00:15:11,397 --> 00:15:12,825
and so do you!
193
00:15:14,899 --> 00:15:21,294
A lot of people say Clare Higgins
and dismissals are such, it's just not true!
194
00:15:22,307 --> 00:15:24,222
I don't care about the color man skin
195
00:15:24,850 --> 00:15:26,942
nor do I care
about the nature of his religion
196
00:15:27,491 --> 00:15:29,406
but I do care I care very deeply
197
00:15:29,842 --> 00:15:33,690
if what that man chooses to believe has an impact
upon my way of life!
198
00:15:38,108 --> 00:15:42,044
yes sir yes sir here just make your X there or sign it up
199
00:15:42,658 --> 00:15:44,652
Now you can pick up your role of
the membership table over there
200
00:15:45,451 --> 00:15:46,489
thank you sir, thank you
201
00:15:47,025 --> 00:15:50,200
like to sign up all we need is your signature,
he'll bring America back to Americans!
202
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,458
My signature and ten of my hard-earned dollars
203
00:15:53,658 --> 00:15:57,339
Seems a small price to pay to
help bring America back to Americans!
204
00:15:58,662 --> 00:15:59,680
Maybe next time.
205
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,400
Thanks anyway.
206
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,424
We deserve a better country, gentlemen.
207
00:16:04,688 --> 00:16:05,867
May I give you one of our newspapers?
208
00:16:07,042 --> 00:16:09,636
You'll be able to read a
little bit more about what we stand for.
209
00:16:09,778 --> 00:16:11,103
Membership information is on the back
210
00:16:13,190 --> 00:16:15,894
Help bring America back to americans
211
00:16:17,828 --> 00:16:19,457
"Fiery cross"
Catchy title
212
00:16:20,329 --> 00:16:22,407
Hey, boy listen to this!
213
00:16:23,124 --> 00:16:24,217
Spare me!
214
00:16:38,123 --> 00:16:40,769
What on earth is that?
Something in the park.
215
00:16:41,785 --> 00:16:46,218
You could think it's the second coming
216
00:16:46,546 --> 00:16:47,791
We can let the Rockefellers, the Carnegies
217
00:16:47,991 --> 00:16:52,699
and the DuPont buy for the few what
is rightfully owned by the many?
218
00:16:52,899 --> 00:16:54,131
No!
219
00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:56,336
It was the big business that got
us into the world
220
00:16:57,563 --> 00:17:00,233
We need to hear from the common man
221
00:17:00,597 --> 00:17:04,598
The decent American man who sweats
for his daily bread!
222
00:17:04,798 --> 00:17:09,034
We need to protect our
children from the... Tammany Hall
223
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:11,705
and the godless Bolsheviks
which are all around us!
224
00:17:11,905 --> 00:17:14,157
Foreigners take American jobs and
225
00:17:14,357 --> 00:17:18,587
unemployed American fathers turn
to drink away their sorrows!
226
00:17:19,285 --> 00:17:20,465
We need to change all that!
227
00:17:24,207 --> 00:17:28,064
We need an organization
that respects what we respect!
228
00:17:28,146 --> 00:17:31,874
we need you to unite not just
here in Indianapolis
229
00:17:32,311 --> 00:17:35,230
but all across the state from state to state
230
00:17:35,834 --> 00:17:38,725
we need to unite, unite with us now!
231
00:17:39,131 --> 00:17:40,456
All across the nation
232
00:17:41,022 --> 00:17:43,576
join the Ku Klux Klan, join with us!
233
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:04,385
Klell!
they approved it, Klell!
234
00:18:04,915 --> 00:18:07,793
they're gonna put it on the budget
agenda before the next session of the legislature
235
00:18:08,364 --> 00:18:09,648
That's great!
Oh, I owe you once.
236
00:18:10,117 --> 00:18:11,679
Oh no, don't be silly,
you don't own me!
237
00:18:11,936 --> 00:18:13,850
Listen, this week we're having
a party on Tuesday night
238
00:18:14,349 --> 00:18:16,132
it's going to be quite a wingding
is invited half the City Hall,
239
00:18:16,332 --> 00:18:16,983
would you like to go?
240
00:18:18,661 --> 00:18:19,928
oh Madge..
241
00:18:20,128 --> 00:18:23,870
There'll be a lot of people there from
the legislature I can talk about my book program
242
00:18:25,024 --> 00:18:27,024
I... I think I'm supposed to ask you.
243
00:18:29,210 --> 00:18:31,050
I come on a little strong sometimes,
I'm sorry.
244
00:18:34,576 --> 00:18:35,440
Oh, I'd love to go.
245
00:18:36,126 --> 00:18:38,383
What time shall I pick you up?
7:30 sharp
246
00:18:38,583 --> 00:18:39,380
Bye
247
00:18:57,700 --> 00:19:01,798
Look at this palace!
The guy must have a money machine!
248
00:19:01,998 --> 00:19:05,149
Play your cards right, then
you can wheel out a campaign contribution.
249
00:19:18,943 --> 00:19:21,844
Excuse me but I'm gonna
have to ask you to put that away please
250
00:19:22,044 --> 00:19:24,038
Do you know who my husband is?
251
00:19:24,757 --> 00:19:26,410
Yes ma'am, state senator Monroe
252
00:19:26,912 --> 00:19:29,481
but Steve is very strong...and
here is the law against alcohol
253
00:19:29,681 --> 00:19:32,582
Onest start in the
Ku Klux for you, senator.
254
00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:42,021
What do you figure cost through a party like this?
255
00:19:42,778 --> 00:19:44,030
A small fortune,
Excuse me.
256
00:19:47,340 --> 00:19:50,890
Excuse me, may I see your invitation?
257
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:51,924
Simms from "The Times"
258
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:56,058
Pleasure, mr. Simms this is a private party
and the press is not invited.
259
00:19:56,258 --> 00:19:57,807
Can I see you to the front door?
260
00:20:13,301 --> 00:20:18,165
Steve we're so thankful for the donation that you
approved for the Baptist Hospital
261
00:20:18,728 --> 00:20:20,725
It will mean the world in new facilities!
262
00:20:20,925 --> 00:20:22,762
Always glad to help a worthy cause
263
00:20:22,962 --> 00:20:24,651
The Klan has a Christian heart.
264
00:20:25,060 --> 00:20:25,872
Do you mean that?
265
00:20:26,072 --> 00:20:27,791
I mean everything I said.
Ed Jackson
266
00:20:28,576 --> 00:20:29,604
I'm running for governor.
267
00:20:29,804 --> 00:20:31,050
I've heard you speak a couple of times
268
00:20:31,250 --> 00:20:33,504
and read the columns you've written for "The fiery cross"
269
00:20:33,704 --> 00:20:34,861
We have a great deal in common
270
00:20:35,246 --> 00:20:36,481
what do we have in common, sir?
271
00:20:36,681 --> 00:20:38,200
We're embarrassed that
our last governor was a crook,
272
00:20:39,563 --> 00:20:42,550
we believe in Christianity,
a strong American morality,
273
00:20:43,376 --> 00:20:44,340
we believe in the prohibition
274
00:20:44,540 --> 00:20:46,756
Sounds like a speech I made last Tuesday
275
00:20:46,956 --> 00:20:50,037
I've never heard
anyone speak the way you do.
276
00:21:04,190 --> 00:21:07,240
I think it's time that you
and I set down and talk a bit.
277
00:21:07,947 --> 00:21:09,847
You're right in?
We do have a great deal in common.
278
00:21:10,764 --> 00:21:12,208
Let me see what I can come up with.
279
00:21:17,438 --> 00:21:19,511
I'd be happy to send you a
copy of the proposal,senator
280
00:21:19,711 --> 00:21:22,410
Here, Madge
281
00:21:22,610 --> 00:21:23,859
I brought something to eat, too.
Thanks.
282
00:21:24,059 --> 00:21:26,574
Have you met the senator, his wife Harriet?
283
00:21:26,774 --> 00:21:28,350
No.
Please to meet you.
284
00:21:35,259 --> 00:21:36,102
John
285
00:21:36,302 --> 00:21:38,762
You managed to entrance the most
beautiful women at the party.
286
00:21:40,750 --> 00:21:41,192
Hi, Henry.
287
00:21:41,392 --> 00:21:44,558
We haven't met,
my name is David Stevenson.
288
00:21:44,871 --> 00:21:47,065
Madge Oberholtzer.
289
00:21:47,265 --> 00:21:51,414
Clell Henry
How do you do.
290
00:21:52,707 --> 00:21:54,392
Welcome to my home
291
00:21:54,927 --> 00:21:55,780
Thank you
292
00:21:57,670 --> 00:21:59,512
Do you work in the Department
of Education don't you?
293
00:21:59,712 --> 00:22:00,827
How do you know that?
294
00:22:01,722 --> 00:22:03,662
You hear things.
295
00:22:06,574 --> 00:22:08,422
Come together?
We did.
296
00:22:13,148 --> 00:22:14,327
You're a lucky man, Klell.
297
00:22:18,219 --> 00:22:20,440
We'll talk again.
298
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,293
Soon.
299
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:24,511
Goodbye
300
00:22:29,809 --> 00:22:31,283
This is fun crowd gladden cane/
301
00:22:40,309 --> 00:22:42,394
Madge!
302
00:22:52,045 --> 00:22:53,190
Where have you been?
303
00:22:53,390 --> 00:22:55,104
I had been getting my lunch.
What is going on?
304
00:22:55,504 --> 00:22:59,806
What is going on?
305
00:23:04,652 --> 00:23:07,007
we don't know but they arrive while
you were out stuffing yourself
306
00:23:07,644 --> 00:23:09,481
oh,there must be a car
307
00:23:10,232 --> 00:23:11,524
Oh, come on
308
00:23:11,724 --> 00:23:14,822
I don't know what you've been doing
but you sure had an effect on somebody!
309
00:23:22,347 --> 00:23:23,590
Madge Oberholtzer
310
00:23:23,777 --> 00:23:26,201
Hello, Madge.
Who is this?
311
00:23:26,365 --> 00:23:28,480
You don't remember my voice?
312
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:28,907
No.
313
00:23:31,108 --> 00:23:31,893
You've come to my house,
314
00:23:32,093 --> 00:23:34,103
you socialize with my party and
now you can't remember my name?
315
00:23:35,013 --> 00:23:35,865
I'm crushed.
316
00:23:37,573 --> 00:23:39,063
Did you do this?
You sent the roses?
317
00:23:39,567 --> 00:23:41,270
Do you like them?
No... well there's just so many!
318
00:23:41,470 --> 00:23:45,012
May I see you on Thursday night?
319
00:23:45,212 --> 00:23:47,876
I can't even know you
You'll get to know me then.
320
00:23:48,076 --> 00:23:49,774
You're sure you like roses?
321
00:23:50,230 --> 00:23:52,752
yes I...but no, I mean for Thursday.
322
00:23:52,952 --> 00:23:54,915
Good great come on I'll pick
you up Thursday at 7:00
323
00:23:55,115 --> 00:23:58,889
No, I w.as. yes I was
talking about the roses.
324
00:23:59,128 --> 00:24:01,746
I thought you didn't like roses.
yes I do.
325
00:24:01,980 --> 00:24:04,509
All right, yes for Thursday
326
00:24:04,709 --> 00:24:07,014
I wasn't sure you liked roses
that's why I sent the daisies.
327
00:24:07,333 --> 00:24:08,633
What daisies?
328
00:24:38,732 --> 00:24:40,316
I didn't know you're such a basketball fan.
329
00:24:40,667 --> 00:24:43,494
Hey, this is Indiana, it's illegal
not to be a basketball fan!
330
00:24:43,742 --> 00:24:44,470
It's our
cultural heritage, huh?
331
00:24:45,365 --> 00:24:46,570
you know why yes
332
00:24:46,770 --> 00:24:48,690
when I was a kid I could only dream
about a tournament like this.
333
00:24:48,890 --> 00:24:53,754
Uniforms, referees, wood floors, my goodness!
334
00:24:54,412 --> 00:24:56,348
We used to play on dirt with bare feet
335
00:24:56,855 --> 00:24:58,312
and settle our differences with a fist fight
336
00:24:58,588 --> 00:24:59,767
Were you any good?
337
00:25:00,337 --> 00:25:02,685
I was a pretty good ballplayer
and a terrible fighter.
338
00:25:03,523 --> 00:25:08,408
It doesn't seem like a Ku Klux Klan kind of thing
339
00:25:08,608 --> 00:25:12,905
Well we don't bring out the tar brushes
and the nooses until after the half...
340
00:25:13,118 --> 00:25:14,050
What's about?
341
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:16,625
I didn't mean that
well that's alright
342
00:25:16,825 --> 00:25:20,407
A lot of people still think of
the Klan as bunch of rednecks
343
00:25:21,678 --> 00:25:22,548
And that's not true?
344
00:25:22,748 --> 00:25:24,190
The old leadership is gone, Madge
345
00:25:24,390 --> 00:25:26,630
it's a new age and Americans need help
346
00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:30,138
they need help stand up to the
money men and the bootleggers.
347
00:25:31,048 --> 00:25:34,550
so you believe in your book program, don't you
you believe it helps people?
348
00:25:34,948 --> 00:25:35,152
Yes.
349
00:25:35,352 --> 00:25:37,082
well the Klan is my book program
350
00:25:37,737 --> 00:25:39,988
Not the old Klan, the new Klan, my clan.
351
00:25:41,997 --> 00:25:44,130
I'm sorry that sending all those
flowers created a problem.
352
00:25:45,146 --> 00:25:47,839
I sent him and I was thinking afterwards,
maybe your boss got angry.
353
00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:49,581
you're sweet
354
00:25:51,056 --> 00:25:52,387
I'm smitten.
355
00:25:52,587 --> 00:25:55,465
You're the most beautiful, most intelligent
woman I've ever met in my life.
356
00:25:57,642 --> 00:25:58,787
You make me blush.
357
00:26:01,766 --> 00:26:05,667
I'm proud to introduce to you a man
who made this evening possible!
358
00:26:06,454 --> 00:26:11,186
a man who makes me proud to
stand up and say I'm american:
359
00:26:11,386 --> 00:26:13,212
mr. David Stevenson!
360
00:26:38,530 --> 00:26:40,700
Thank you thank you all very much
361
00:26:40,866 --> 00:26:42,270
I appreciate it, I do
362
00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:45,790
I just wanted to step out here
before we start tonight's game
363
00:26:45,990 --> 00:26:47,987
and ask you folks a question:
364
00:26:50,055 --> 00:26:53,133
Don't you think that this is
the most beautiful lady you've ever seen?
365
00:27:11,835 --> 00:27:13,508
Do you have an appointment to see mr.
Stevenson?
366
00:27:15,980 --> 00:27:18,550
Tell him it's Hiram Evans.
367
00:27:18,750 --> 00:27:20,420
And what is the nature
of your visit, mr. Evans?
368
00:27:20,620 --> 00:27:22,950
We're from Atlanta, young lady mr. Evans here
369
00:27:23,150 --> 00:27:26,525
is the Imperial wizard of the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
370
00:27:26,725 --> 00:27:28,280
Imperial wizard?
371
00:27:29,038 --> 00:27:34,112
The boss of all the Klan
of the entire United States
372
00:27:34,901 --> 00:27:36,686
Pam, would you please send these documents?
373
00:27:38,973 --> 00:27:40,499
Mr. Hiram Evans, sir
374
00:27:40,699 --> 00:27:43,977
Please come right in
General, step this way please.
375
00:27:44,550 --> 00:27:46,410
Come right in.
376
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,180
You've been king... of the indiana
Klan for what is it?Nine months?
377
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:06,426
Yes, sir
378
00:28:06,626 --> 00:28:11,392
Nine months yet you've managed
to quintuple your membership.
379
00:28:12,365 --> 00:28:14,185
No other Klan in America
comes even close to that!
380
00:28:14,817 --> 00:28:16,848
well, I was always a believer in hard work, sir.
381
00:28:17,065 --> 00:28:18,494
It's not hard work, it's you!
382
00:28:18,937 --> 00:28:21,052
Something about you.
383
00:28:23,574 --> 00:28:27,126
we want you to be Membership Director
for the entire Midwest
384
00:28:27,481 --> 00:28:29,758
That's 22 States and you'll control all of it.
385
00:28:30,425 --> 00:28:32,242
no organized Klan in each state
386
00:28:32,816 --> 00:28:33,970
Pick your own men to serve as..
387
00:28:34,170 --> 00:28:37,946
You tell them who to appoint as Titans and Furies
388
00:28:39,624 --> 00:28:44,666
We can make the Ku Klux Klan
the most powerful political force in America.
389
00:28:46,273 --> 00:28:47,712
These are chaotic times son.
390
00:28:47,912 --> 00:28:50,842
There's lawlessness and loose
morals right here in Indiana.
391
00:28:51,042 --> 00:28:53,567
Your own governors being
indicted for mail fraud.
392
00:28:53,767 --> 00:28:56,617
No better an Al Capone.
Good people want something better than that
393
00:28:56,817 --> 00:29:01,011
They want, they need an organization.
394
00:29:01,211 --> 00:29:03,932
That's the Ku Klux Klan.
395
00:29:04,132 --> 00:29:06,140
And that's you, Steve.
396
00:29:06,340 --> 00:29:11,531
We've got to do something for the
coloreds, Catholics and Jews start taking over.
397
00:29:12,194 --> 00:29:15,502
Hell the Jews, already run Wall Street
398
00:29:15,536 --> 00:29:17,791
the coloreds are taking our jobs,
399
00:29:17,991 --> 00:29:20,872
Next thing you know the Catholics will be putting
a Pope in the White House!
400
00:29:24,965 --> 00:29:26,408
I would give you these 22 states
401
00:29:26,608 --> 00:29:29,043
Can you get the same results
you got here in Indiana?
402
00:29:35,075 --> 00:29:39,990
well... Yes sir, I believe I can.
403
00:29:50,660 --> 00:29:53,490
Who's there?
404
00:29:53,690 --> 00:29:54,720
I've got a shotgun in here!
405
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,593
Read it...
406
00:30:11,793 --> 00:30:15,727
"God bless the KKK"
407
00:30:53,970 --> 00:30:55,776
Why, what a coincidence!
408
00:30:56,318 --> 00:30:58,864
I guess the movie people just
happened to be passing by!
409
00:30:59,504 --> 00:31:01,223
oh don't be such a cynic George!
410
00:31:02,231 --> 00:31:04,769
...a milk program down in Bloomington
411
00:31:07,294 --> 00:31:09,629
PARADE CELEBRATES KLAN GROWTH
412
00:31:44,340 --> 00:31:50,819
And what we need is for the book distribution sites
to be centrally located within the local farm area
413
00:31:51,310 --> 00:31:53,831
There aren't any of these places
I'm riding down would be good for you
414
00:31:54,643 --> 00:31:56,923
but the local
council has to prove anything like this
415
00:31:57,387 --> 00:31:58,741
and I'm just not sure...
Steve!
416
00:32:04,626 --> 00:32:06,869
I saw a familiar face
How you doing?
417
00:32:07,197 --> 00:32:12,069
You know well. Working on the
book program, fighting the good fight.
418
00:32:12,478 --> 00:32:13,251
As usual!
419
00:32:14,361 --> 00:32:15,343
How are you today, mr. mayor?
420
00:32:15,651 --> 00:32:17,425
Steve gosh-darn, it's good to see you!
421
00:32:18,436 --> 00:32:21,007
I didn't know you knew my favorite person
in all Indiana!
422
00:32:21,536 --> 00:32:23,125
You should have said so!
423
00:32:23,570 --> 00:32:24,706
We were doing a little business here
424
00:32:25,083 --> 00:32:26,590
I hope you are taking good care of her!
425
00:32:26,914 --> 00:32:28,445
oh you bet we will
426
00:32:28,684 --> 00:32:31,518
Now if you see any of the folks on this list
you tell them I sent you
427
00:32:31,959 --> 00:32:33,447
and you tell them to give me a call
428
00:32:33,647 --> 00:32:35,420
Well thank you, mr. Neher.
429
00:32:35,534 --> 00:32:36,760
You take care my friend!
430
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,982
Nice to see you sir!
431
00:32:38,749 --> 00:32:40,455
David Stevenson, how do you do?
432
00:32:40,578 --> 00:32:43,051
Not as well as Madge, apparrently.
Barbara Evers
433
00:32:44,943 --> 00:32:46,086
What are you doing here?
434
00:32:46,186 --> 00:32:47,817
Well, actually I came to see you.
435
00:32:48,857 --> 00:32:50,209
Better you ladies aren't busy.
436
00:32:53,619 --> 00:32:53,886
I planned for three
A picnic?
437
00:32:54,086 --> 00:32:58,374
We'd love to.
well we were going to look at school sites
438
00:32:58,757 --> 00:32:59,980
we'll all look together
439
00:33:01,109 --> 00:33:03,135
I hope you don't mind me coming up here
spur-of-the-moment
440
00:33:03,335 --> 00:33:05,983
Not as long you have something cool to drink in it
441
00:33:07,570 --> 00:33:12,292
Even better
fresh from my own tree picked them myself
442
00:33:12,614 --> 00:33:16,230
guaranteed to quench your thirst,
and satisfy your sweet too.
443
00:33:16,430 --> 00:33:18,950
Ladies...
444
00:33:19,005 --> 00:33:20,126
thank you
445
00:33:32,750 --> 00:33:35,324
In another mile there should
be a covered bridge
446
00:33:35,524 --> 00:33:37,441
The mayor said there's a barn just beyond that
447
00:33:37,641 --> 00:33:39,335
That would be great for temporary school.
448
00:33:40,357 --> 00:33:43,196
She doesn't always talk about business
, sometimes she actually makes conversation.
449
00:33:44,588 --> 00:33:46,407
I thought you could make a picnic there
450
00:33:47,041 --> 00:33:49,229
you choked all the way
451
00:33:49,429 --> 00:33:51,428
I'd walk if I had to
452
00:33:51,628 --> 00:33:54,184
No telling how far I'll go for a proper date!
453
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,355
ED JACKSON FOR GOVERNOR
454
00:34:21,699 --> 00:34:23,540
NIGGERS AND CATHOLICS
STAY OUT OF OUR COUNTRY
455
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:24,592
BY ORDERS OF THE KKK
456
00:34:27,650 --> 00:34:29,670
Look what they've done!
457
00:34:43,354 --> 00:34:44,905
I guess your Klan still has room
for some bigger.
458
00:34:46,851 --> 00:34:48,425
Maybe actually did this weren't Klansmen.
459
00:34:50,653 --> 00:34:52,153
People pretend to be Klansmen
460
00:34:52,353 --> 00:34:54,174
They pretend to be Klansmen for
their own purposes
461
00:34:59,770 --> 00:35:01,610
I'm sorry.
462
00:35:01,810 --> 00:35:05,592
Go find your barn no just a classroom.
463
00:35:33,380 --> 00:35:35,864
Madge, come on inside, come on
464
00:35:37,624 --> 00:35:38,921
I get you boys anything to eat or something?
465
00:35:39,516 --> 00:35:40,871
Nothing, Steve, thanks.
No, thank you.
466
00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:44,018
Steve the house is gorgeous, just beautiful!
467
00:35:44,397 --> 00:35:46,417
You didn't call a Sunday morning
meeting to tell me that, John.
468
00:35:46,661 --> 00:35:50,000
Come on in and sit down, John.
Can I get you some coffee or something?
469
00:35:52,066 --> 00:35:53,849
What John wants is for you to support him
470
00:35:54,049 --> 00:35:56,729
as mayoral candidate here in Indianapolis.
471
00:35:58,825 --> 00:36:00,288
Now why do you want my support?
472
00:36:01,454 --> 00:36:02,782
Well, you're a man of influence.
473
00:36:02,982 --> 00:36:05,374
Right, perceptive, socially active.
474
00:36:06,270 --> 00:36:07,833
Got a lot of money and I can turn
out the Klan vote
475
00:36:09,371 --> 00:36:10,528
you got rid of that Jew in the house,
476
00:36:10,793 --> 00:36:12,394
you got Sam Ralston elected to the Senate
477
00:36:13,313 --> 00:36:15,599
I've seen what you've done Fred
478
00:36:15,755 --> 00:36:17,438
I want some of that
479
00:36:26,918 --> 00:36:29,573
...holy through Christ shall
we reach the kingdom of Heaven
480
00:36:30,310 --> 00:36:31,887
You know many people are hearing this right now?
481
00:36:32,087 --> 00:36:34,822
People sit in
their houses and listen to this thing
482
00:36:35,022 --> 00:36:38,424
You are on the air and you can get
right into a man's home
483
00:36:39,854 --> 00:36:41,575
Put an ad in the paper he'll take
you to work with it in the morning
484
00:36:43,367 --> 00:36:47,225
It's a brand new age,gentlemen
485
00:36:51,426 --> 00:36:51,939
Steve...
486
00:36:52,139 --> 00:36:53,933
I give you my support,John
487
00:36:55,789 --> 00:36:58,335
and what will you give me?
A mayor you can be proud of!
488
00:36:58,535 --> 00:37:02,488
What do you want?
489
00:37:11,949 --> 00:37:13,988
write this down and sign it
490
00:37:16,581 --> 00:37:20,090
In return for
the political support of DC Stevenson
491
00:37:20,290 --> 00:37:22,850
"In the event that I'm elected
mayor of Indianapolis Indiana
492
00:37:23,050 --> 00:37:25,523
I promise not to appoint any
person member of the Board of Public Works
493
00:37:25,723 --> 00:37:29,932
without their first having the
endorsement of DC Stevenson
494
00:37:30,450 --> 00:37:32,902
I also promise...
495
00:37:33,102 --> 00:37:35,237
What if the letter were discovered?
496
00:37:35,743 --> 00:37:37,925
This would be the only copy of the
letter that exists and I'll have it.
497
00:37:38,125 --> 00:37:41,862
I trust you and I trust Eddie
498
00:37:42,008 --> 00:37:46,370
You trust me.
499
00:37:46,570 --> 00:37:48,880
We'll go a lot further than mayor.
500
00:37:49,250 --> 00:37:53,263
We'll do a lot more good that you can on
your own, John
501
00:37:55,496 --> 00:37:56,683
Ask ahead.
502
00:38:06,041 --> 00:38:07,103
All right can you give it to me again
503
00:38:07,422 --> 00:38:08,363
Sure.
504
00:38:08,563 --> 00:38:16,497
"In return for the political
endorsement of DC Stevenson
505
00:38:18,494 --> 00:38:21,620
and in the event that I am elected
mayor of Indianapolis Indiana
506
00:38:27,293 --> 00:38:29,462
I promise not to appoint...
Am I going too fast?
507
00:38:30,446 --> 00:38:31,602
no that's fine
508
00:38:31,802 --> 00:38:34,000
Over 50 letters to the editor
509
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,669
and all from local Klansmen
510
00:38:36,869 --> 00:38:39,948
Two years ago there weren't 500 members
of the Klan all over the country.
511
00:38:40,996 --> 00:38:44,039
Now there are almost 200,000
right here in Indiana alone
512
00:38:45,154 --> 00:38:48,260
and we risk alienating those readers
if you continue to attack the Klan
513
00:38:48,821 --> 00:38:53,009
I'm trying to inform
the readership mr. LeBouf not pander to
514
00:38:53,322 --> 00:38:56,450
Klan has become a major advertiser in
almost every significant daily in the state.
515
00:38:57,703 --> 00:39:00,328
We are losing substantial revenue
by not running their copy
516
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,371
and we will continue to lose that
revenue as long as I'm
editor-in-chief at "The times"
517
00:39:05,341 --> 00:39:07,750
Read this: Klan writes these
things called Klan comments
518
00:39:07,950 --> 00:39:13,240
look they spell "comments" with a K so it's cute
Let me hear it!
519
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:14,737
"What is the Klan?
520
00:39:14,937 --> 00:39:21,697
The Klan is organized patriotism, intensified
Americanism and unified Protestantism
521
00:39:22,426 --> 00:39:25,679
the mission of the Klan is to serve
and to save America"
522
00:39:26,168 --> 00:39:28,304
Maybe the easy answer is if you're out of work
523
00:39:28,504 --> 00:39:31,133
and immigrants have all the jobs
524
00:39:31,571 --> 00:39:33,510
Nationally the Klan is run by
a man named Hiram Evans
525
00:39:33,710 --> 00:39:35,162
a dentist originally from Texas
526
00:39:35,362 --> 00:39:36,260
locally it's all David Stevenson.
527
00:39:37,621 --> 00:39:39,644
I've seen Stevenson work, he's very good.
528
00:39:40,397 --> 00:39:42,231
Well he uses preachers to warm up the crowds
529
00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:45,112
don't..
530
00:39:45,334 --> 00:39:47,179
Pulpit politicians got prohibition ratified
531
00:39:47,629 --> 00:39:50,731
Take religious fundamentalism
and mix it with politics
532
00:39:51,551 --> 00:39:52,939
and you get a formidable force
533
00:39:53,756 --> 00:39:56,297
we have information that suggests
Stevenson is backing candidates
534
00:39:56,497 --> 00:39:57,726
for almost every elective office
535
00:39:57,860 --> 00:39:59,092
municipal county and state
536
00:39:59,762 --> 00:40:03,109
He is sending a whole delegation
to the Democratic National Convention
537
00:40:03,309 --> 00:40:06,550
He is 33 years old, he
is spending a fortune,
538
00:40:06,863 --> 00:40:08,335
from where he's get it?
539
00:40:08,758 --> 00:40:11,622
he tells people he's in the coal business
but I ran a tax check
540
00:40:12,514 --> 00:40:13,792
his coal business earns no money
541
00:40:14,108 --> 00:40:14,561
Doesn't have to
542
00:40:15,434 --> 00:40:16,839
People are paying 10 bucks
a head to join the Klan
543
00:40:17,498 --> 00:40:18,882
another 10 bucks
for robes and hoods
544
00:40:19,370 --> 00:40:20,880
it's a money machine.
545
00:40:22,861 --> 00:40:25,279
Dig into it I want to stay on top of this, huh?
546
00:40:27,793 --> 00:40:29,968
Are you going to put my paper
in the hot seat again, boy?
547
00:40:30,547 --> 00:40:31,635
I certainly hope so
548
00:40:31,954 --> 00:40:33,121
Marge give me the hall records
549
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,009
I thought you wanted to talk.
550
00:40:52,563 --> 00:40:53,378
Something like that
551
00:40:53,578 --> 00:40:58,198
since you like the big gesture,
those speeches the party, the flowers
552
00:40:58,861 --> 00:40:59,813
oh yes I do
553
00:41:00,571 --> 00:41:02,145
A man who visualizes things
554
00:41:03,274 --> 00:41:05,109
picture a better world to live in
555
00:41:05,862 --> 00:41:09,460
peace justice woman like you
waiting when I come home
556
00:41:09,660 --> 00:41:11,984
My mother want me
about men like you
557
00:41:13,054 --> 00:41:14,488
your mother never knew a man like me
558
00:41:15,479 --> 00:41:17,170
you're right
559
00:41:17,370 --> 00:41:20,946
I'm always right.
Ready to dance?
560
00:41:21,379 --> 00:41:24,156
I might be able to master if you step
561
00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:51,830
When I'm out here with you like this I feel
wonderful
562
00:41:59,027 --> 00:42:01,573
Don't make me to be safe in my intention
563
00:42:03,460 --> 00:42:06,447
it's after midnight,
I really should get home
564
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:11,243
Say you'll see me again.
565
00:42:11,443 --> 00:42:12,339
okay
566
00:42:49,300 --> 00:42:51,665
So, when you gonna marry this guy?
567
00:42:51,865 --> 00:42:54,212
Marry him? I've only known you for three weeks
568
00:42:54,412 --> 00:42:57,896
Come on, are you telling me you haven't
thought about it?
569
00:42:58,352 --> 00:43:01,941
well should i?
I mean I don't know, is all happening so fast
570
00:43:02,141 --> 00:43:03,354
I don't know what his
intentions are.
571
00:43:03,634 --> 00:43:06,913
Face it Madge! he's your dream man
572
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,973
he's smart sincere rich...
Gorgeous!
573
00:43:15,364 --> 00:43:17,335
You've been reading too many
dime story romances
574
00:43:17,535 --> 00:43:20,534
You haven't read a dime story
romance in your life!
575
00:43:21,172 --> 00:43:22,354
No, maybe I should have been
576
00:43:22,621 --> 00:43:23,712
I'd know what to do
577
00:43:24,489 --> 00:43:27,820
what's that?
smoke
578
00:43:29,940 --> 00:43:33,490
oh my lord I know those people
pull in
579
00:43:41,519 --> 00:43:50,802
Ali your children are alright?
580
00:43:52,134 --> 00:43:54,039
Thank God
you're not about here me Bobby
581
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,677
Michelle's away before you seen
582
00:43:57,019 --> 00:43:58,094
What happened?
583
00:43:58,652 --> 00:44:00,290
well I went in to register for the voting
584
00:44:01,188 --> 00:44:04,870
The man come by last week said
colored folks better stay away from the election man
585
00:44:06,073 --> 00:44:08,248
He said it wasn't none of our affair
586
00:44:08,732 --> 00:44:11,247
It wasn't my affair to peel
potatoes in the army for three years
587
00:44:12,136 --> 00:44:15,628
I got the vote God Heaven,
I'm going to use it!
588
00:44:16,151 --> 00:44:21,546
Who did this?
Somebody wants a soul royal signing his self up
589
00:44:21,746 --> 00:44:25,928
Night riders.
What?
590
00:44:26,180 --> 00:44:27,559
Night riders, the men who
pretend to be in the Ku Klux Klan
591
00:44:30,883 --> 00:44:32,113
That is what they tell you in the city?
592
00:44:33,091 --> 00:44:35,609
Ain't nobody out here pretending to be in the clan
593
00:44:35,809 --> 00:44:38,301
Who come
last night was the real thing
594
00:44:40,809 --> 00:44:42,695
They dragged him outside
and they whipped him
595
00:44:45,751 --> 00:44:46,498
Not too good off
596
00:44:47,833 --> 00:44:49,306
And I saw a face.
It was one of the men I've seen in
597
00:44:49,506 --> 00:44:54,020
the Klan parade and passing out
those little sheets of paper in town
598
00:44:55,541 --> 00:44:58,034
you don't have to tell me
nothing about the Ku Klux Klan
599
00:44:58,991 --> 00:45:02,731
I know all I need to know
firsthand
600
00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:08,777
hi
601
00:45:24,580 --> 00:45:32,325
We now have 320,000 dues-paying members
of the clan here in Indiana
602
00:45:34,570 --> 00:45:38,025
Almost millions have joined throughout the Midwest
603
00:45:38,225 --> 00:45:40,346
Gentlemen
604
00:45:42,220 --> 00:45:45,597
our doors are only open to half the population
605
00:45:47,787 --> 00:45:49,055
What about the women and children?
606
00:45:52,877 --> 00:45:56,336
therefore I have established
607
00:45:58,259 --> 00:46:01,326
Junior Klan for the boys, Triple Klan for the girls,
608
00:46:01,526 --> 00:46:03,654
for the women "Queens of the
golden mask"
609
00:46:05,324 --> 00:46:06,411
how's that sound you folks?
610
00:46:07,325 --> 00:46:09,266
five bucks for Mama join the dollar for each kit
611
00:46:09,587 --> 00:46:10,770
make all the rolls will sell
612
00:46:11,833 --> 00:46:14,088
Think of the next generation
613
00:46:14,902 --> 00:46:15,994
All right you boys I'm going up
to New York City with
614
00:46:16,194 --> 00:46:18,571
higher members the Democratic
National Convention
615
00:46:20,354 --> 00:46:22,215
I don't want you sitting
on your butts while I'm gone.
616
00:46:23,084 --> 00:46:25,019
We're going to
be a family in this.
617
00:46:25,873 --> 00:46:28,459
if you need to talk you can come to me
618
00:46:29,170 --> 00:46:30,707
just think of me as the old man
619
00:46:31,532 --> 00:46:32,588
Go ahead, let me hear you say
620
00:46:33,444 --> 00:46:35,921
The old man
621
00:46:36,121 --> 00:46:38,597
sounds good
622
00:46:38,797 --> 00:46:40,922
all right, you can go
623
00:46:43,122 --> 00:46:44,890
Now you!
624
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,280
when you have money
and power you have enemies, am i right?
625
00:46:52,489 --> 00:46:53,866
We need a security department
626
00:46:54,066 --> 00:46:55,549
Maybe we should hire the Pinkertons
627
00:46:55,749 --> 00:46:57,398
we need men we can trust
628
00:46:57,900 --> 00:46:59,794
I've been talking to our friends in the Statehouse
629
00:47:00,865 --> 00:47:02,456
we can deputize some people
630
00:47:03,802 --> 00:47:05,292
our people
631
00:47:07,406 --> 00:47:09,316
You mean legal deputies sworn with badges?
632
00:47:09,790 --> 00:47:12,406
I mean we'll call it the horse
thief detective Association
633
00:47:13,292 --> 00:47:15,141
I mean it will be like having our own army
634
00:47:15,341 --> 00:47:18,776
Steve
635
00:47:19,837 --> 00:47:22,814
miss Oberholtzer is here
Show her in.
636
00:47:24,873 --> 00:47:26,051
All right you boys can go
637
00:47:43,222 --> 00:47:43,663
Thank you
638
00:47:44,136 --> 00:47:47,709
Madge, I wasn't supposed to pick
you up for lunch for another hour, was I?
639
00:47:48,609 --> 00:47:50,065
we won't be going to lunch today Steve
640
00:47:50,265 --> 00:47:52,410
Madge, I'm leaving for New York tonight
641
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,278
I'll be gone for several weeks,
I want to have lunch with you
642
00:47:54,478 --> 00:47:57,400
I met a family, a black family whose
barn was burned last night
643
00:47:58,081 --> 00:47:59,889
the men who burned their barn were hoods
644
00:48:00,089 --> 00:48:02,742
they set fire to a cross in
their front yard across a fire
645
00:48:02,942 --> 00:48:03,569
Sounds familiar?
646
00:48:03,769 --> 00:48:05,012
oh my God, Knight Riders!
647
00:48:05,359 --> 00:48:06,743
No the men who did this were not Knight Riders
648
00:48:07,289 --> 00:48:08,839
whatever that is, they were Klan
649
00:48:09,039 --> 00:48:11,818
These people pretend to be clans
A man was whipped
650
00:48:12,590 --> 00:48:14,030
Steve he saw one of the men doing
the whipping
651
00:48:15,675 --> 00:48:16,666
it was dark, what could he see?
652
00:48:17,253 --> 00:48:19,081
He doesn't know his name
but it was one of your men!
653
00:48:21,980 --> 00:48:23,708
well I sometimes in these little towns
will be a drunk who beats his wife
654
00:48:24,061 --> 00:48:25,512
or a bootlegger who won't stop bootlegging
655
00:48:25,842 --> 00:48:27,522
so the locals do something
656
00:48:27,622 --> 00:48:29,079
This man registered to vote.
657
00:48:30,749 --> 00:48:34,900
Madge, honestly if these men were Klansmen
658
00:48:35,100 --> 00:48:36,319
and I knew their names
659
00:48:36,519 --> 00:48:39,462
I would prosecute them to the fullest
extent of the law.
660
00:48:40,543 --> 00:48:42,204
My friend won't press charges, he's afraid
661
00:48:42,875 --> 00:48:45,791
I'm sorry Madge, I am
662
00:48:45,991 --> 00:48:49,152
but it's not me, it's not my
clan that would do this
663
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,143
Go and talk to him and find out who
did this and press charges
664
00:48:52,343 --> 00:48:53,599
I can't do that, Madge!
665
00:48:53,799 --> 00:48:56,982
The accused has a right to confront his accuser
666
00:48:57,303 --> 00:49:00,841
I wasn't there I can't do that!
667
00:49:01,202 --> 00:49:02,202
You mean you won't!
668
00:49:02,750 --> 00:49:06,385
Madge! I believe I'm a good man
669
00:49:06,585 --> 00:49:08,536
I believe the plan is good
670
00:49:08,736 --> 00:49:14,448
Don't damn us and don't don't damn me
on account of a few evil outsiders
671
00:49:20,539 --> 00:49:21,846
Don't let this come between us
672
00:49:24,713 --> 00:49:32,222
I need you you and I you
You're the best parts of me
673
00:49:35,462 --> 00:49:37,180
I need to think
Madge...
674
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,873
I don't wanna lose you
675
00:49:42,073 --> 00:49:44,763
I need you...you know that
676
00:49:45,362 --> 00:49:47,020
Please, Steve
677
00:49:47,220 --> 00:49:49,647
I don't know...
678
00:49:49,847 --> 00:49:53,731
just don't know anymore
679
00:50:00,275 --> 00:50:01,564
People of New York City
680
00:50:02,212 --> 00:50:05,941
honorable delegates of his 24th
Democratic National Convention
681
00:50:06,705 --> 00:50:09,247
One man could lead this party
682
00:50:09,447 --> 00:50:11,878
one man can refute the influence
of our misguided friends
683
00:50:12,078 --> 00:50:14,409
who call themselves Klansmen
684
00:50:14,609 --> 00:50:16,799
It is with great pride that I blink before you our
685
00:50:16,999 --> 00:50:19,190
candidate for the Democratic nominee
686
00:50:19,390 --> 00:50:20,860
for the president of the United States,
687
00:50:21,511 --> 00:50:23,511
Al Smith!
688
00:50:34,980 --> 00:50:37,900
a fight is breaking out in the Iowa
dellegation
689
00:50:38,100 --> 00:50:39,720
I see another in Colorado
690
00:50:40,382 --> 00:50:42,544
Ladies and gentlemen, chaos reigns
691
00:50:44,744 --> 00:50:47,369
This is a race for the nomination
that just might well be a
692
00:50:47,569 --> 00:50:50,220
contest between the Pope and the Imperial wizard.
693
00:50:50,420 --> 00:50:53,019
So solidly to the Catholic
delegate support Smith
694
00:50:53,219 --> 00:50:55,494
and the Klan sympathizers support McAdoo.
695
00:50:56,625 --> 00:50:57,477
They want Smith
696
00:50:58,229 --> 00:50:59,677
They won't give up easily without him.
697
00:50:59,877 --> 00:51:02,134
What, we're reasonable men.
698
00:51:03,332 --> 00:51:04,232
We'll compromise.
699
00:51:04,605 --> 00:51:06,802
Compromise on what,
what exactly have in mind?
700
00:51:07,002 --> 00:51:09,224
Well, maybe we can go to Smith's people
701
00:51:09,424 --> 00:51:11,399
get them to see things our way.
702
00:51:12,110 --> 00:51:13,967
That's not the kind of
compromising we are talking about.
703
00:51:14,638 --> 00:51:17,110
Gentlemen..
704
00:51:18,229 --> 00:51:20,040
why compromise?
705
00:51:20,993 --> 00:51:23,887
If we want McAdoo, we should have him!
706
00:51:26,824 --> 00:51:28,204
Get rid of Smith in any way we can.
707
00:51:28,764 --> 00:51:30,087
Gentlemen, this is David Stevenson.
708
00:51:34,441 --> 00:51:36,628
Nice to meet you, my friends call me Steve
709
00:51:36,828 --> 00:51:38,708
Son of a gun, I read about you, sir!
710
00:51:38,908 --> 00:51:41,369
You're all anyone talks about.
711
00:51:41,554 --> 00:51:43,819
They say you just about owned Indiana
712
00:51:44,730 --> 00:51:45,606
Just about.
713
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:49,649
On this fifth day of the convention
714
00:51:50,224 --> 00:51:52,265
now the longest in the history of the Democrats
715
00:51:52,465 --> 00:51:56,678
we have just heard from former
presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan
716
00:51:56,878 --> 00:52:01,426
the 87th ballot has just been completed
and it remains a deadlock
717
00:52:01,745 --> 00:52:05,384
It seems the Ku Klux Klan
will not stop stonewalling
718
00:52:05,584 --> 00:52:10,866
there is speculation that this may be the beginning
of the end of the Democratic Party
719
00:52:12,027 --> 00:52:13,810
Miles wide has been
on the convention tour for...
720
00:52:14,010 --> 00:52:16,740
Hard to believe!
721
00:52:16,940 --> 00:52:18,743
We will be lucky if our party is nominee at all
722
00:52:21,270 --> 00:52:22,374
It is hard to believe.Scuse me
723
00:52:26,450 --> 00:52:27,116
Madge!
724
00:52:30,629 --> 00:52:31,955
There was something I want to ask you
725
00:52:32,154 --> 00:52:33,420
So what is it, I'm sorry.
726
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:40,281
Well this is a bit awkward but I just thought...
727
00:52:41,476 --> 00:52:43,035
well I wondered...
728
00:52:45,739 --> 00:52:48,141
There's this new movie in town,
"The White Rose"
729
00:52:49,041 --> 00:52:49,594
would you...
730
00:52:50,587 --> 00:52:52,723
At this...
mr. Stephenson will never be home
731
00:52:52,999 --> 00:52:54,622
Is not my mr. Stevenson!
732
00:52:54,974 --> 00:52:57,410
I guess not, until you're his mrs. Stevenson!
733
00:52:57,610 --> 00:52:58,637
It's not a joke, Martha!
734
00:52:58,837 --> 00:53:01,849
Sorry! I didn't mean..
I know I just...
735
00:53:02,383 --> 00:53:04,383
Scuse me, I'm sorry!
736
00:53:12,602 --> 00:53:14,691
Mr Bryan please understand it's not our intention..
737
00:53:14,986 --> 00:53:16,589
We've been at this for six days!
738
00:53:17,209 --> 00:53:19,157
They've been 102 ballots
739
00:53:19,799 --> 00:53:21,427
You've got to stop tearing this convention apart
740
00:53:22,145 --> 00:53:25,661
Convention is a time for iron our differences
and forward to a new direction for the party
741
00:53:25,921 --> 00:53:27,208
You know what we're doing!
742
00:53:27,522 --> 00:53:29,791
Damn it man! The American people
are not going to elect bill McAdoo
743
00:53:29,991 --> 00:53:33,008
And you sir cannot expect us to accept Al Smith
744
00:53:34,106 --> 00:53:35,460
We can't go on like this!
745
00:53:35,778 --> 00:53:38,326
The American people are going to lose
their faith in a democratic process!
746
00:53:39,024 --> 00:53:40,074
Withdraw Al Smith
747
00:53:40,669 --> 00:53:43,751
My people cannot and will not accept
McAdoo
748
00:53:50,589 --> 00:53:52,577
Forget Smith, we forget McAdoo
749
00:53:54,099 --> 00:53:57,218
Name a compromise nominee.
750
00:53:57,418 --> 00:53:58,738
John Davis
751
00:54:04,613 --> 00:54:06,324
Davis it is
752
00:54:06,524 --> 00:54:08,546
That's that
753
00:54:10,628 --> 00:54:12,928
That's that for this election
754
00:54:13,838 --> 00:54:19,133
and in 28 there'll be no compromises.
our convention our candidate
755
00:54:38,103 --> 00:54:39,103
Congratulations
756
00:54:42,525 --> 00:54:43,923
Yes sir.
757
00:54:45,552 --> 00:54:46,552
No, no sir,no.
758
00:54:47,005 --> 00:54:49,708
I mean I just don't see how you could
be doing any better with Spain,
759
00:54:49,908 --> 00:54:51,690
and all that especially
with the Cuban situation
760
00:54:53,885 --> 00:54:56,087
Of course, sir.
Yes, sir.
761
00:54:56,819 --> 00:54:58,184
Well, your calls are welcome anytime, sir.
762
00:54:59,272 --> 00:55:00,272
Goodbye.
763
00:55:04,690 --> 00:55:07,114
Sorry for the delay, Cal Coolidge.
764
00:55:07,314 --> 00:55:09,239
President Calvin Coolidge?
765
00:55:09,679 --> 00:55:11,606
He calls whenever he needs advice
766
00:55:11,806 --> 00:55:13,833
is just a chat and his phone put in special
767
00:55:14,033 --> 00:55:16,869
direct line to the White House
768
00:55:17,069 --> 00:55:21,370
So people actually believe that?
769
00:55:24,196 --> 00:55:26,690
How can I help you today mr...Gurley?
770
00:55:27,845 --> 00:55:30,939
Is the judge Jackson the Ku Klux
Klan's candidate for governor?
771
00:55:31,139 --> 00:55:34,978
As far as I know a Jackson is the
Republican candidate for governor
772
00:55:35,519 --> 00:55:37,232
Come on, mr. Stevenson!
Steve
773
00:55:37,681 --> 00:55:38,782
Call me Steve
774
00:55:40,495 --> 00:55:40,948
Steve
775
00:55:41,148 --> 00:55:44,684
Edie Jackson was gonna be an also-ran
776
00:55:46,057 --> 00:55:48,667
then he starts quoting the plan
and now he's the odds-on favorite
777
00:55:48,867 --> 00:55:52,637
it's a sign that the people of this state
are ready for some honest government.
778
00:55:52,837 --> 00:55:56,120
Is it true Jackson stumps the
state in your personal car?
779
00:55:59,992 --> 00:56:00,792
Come in
780
00:56:02,986 --> 00:56:06,487
Pardon me, I tried miss Oberholtzer's office again,
they still say she's not in.
781
00:56:09,052 --> 00:56:10,021
Thank you, Pam.
782
00:56:13,060 --> 00:56:15,560
Look if I think the dead Jack's will
make an honest effective governor
783
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,572
you're darn right I want
to see him get elected.
784
00:56:19,426 --> 00:56:21,920
Enough to spend over a hundred
thousand dollars to see him do it?
785
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,365
I've never contributed to sent ahead
Jackson's campaign
786
00:56:28,028 --> 00:56:30,814
Well how much has the
Ku Klux Klan contributed then?
787
00:56:32,521 --> 00:56:37,186
Every nickel that's been contributed has been a legitimate
contribution to the Republican Party.
788
00:56:37,386 --> 00:56:38,963
Except for your car
789
00:56:44,190 --> 00:56:45,327
My car...
790
00:56:47,594 --> 00:56:53,370
my car is alone to a personal friend,
mr. Gurley.
791
00:56:55,078 --> 00:56:56,646
Good day
792
00:57:03,650 --> 00:57:07,296
It's a very nice painting, mr. Stevenson
793
00:57:13,720 --> 00:57:15,499
Steve
794
00:57:17,071 --> 00:57:18,788
Tommy Steve
795
00:57:21,316 --> 00:57:21,991
Listen to this:
796
00:57:23,927 --> 00:57:26,908
"The clan was conceived in secrecy and bigotry
797
00:57:27,108 --> 00:57:32,015
and is dedicated to the principle
that all men are not created equal"
798
00:57:32,930 --> 00:57:34,600
What's that?
799
00:57:34,759 --> 00:57:38,507
Boy girly is saying that Ed
Jackson is in the Klan' pocket
800
00:57:38,707 --> 00:57:40,740
we should vote for McCulloch
801
00:57:41,205 --> 00:57:42,948
... is an old club again?
802
00:57:46,198 --> 00:57:48,707
your anything about this down at
the prosecutor's office?
803
00:57:49,676 --> 00:57:56,192
Well I've heard that... there may be
some less than above board activities
804
00:57:57,096 --> 00:57:58,091
Just talk though
805
00:57:58,291 --> 00:58:00,038
oh I'm sure it's talk that's all it is.
806
00:58:00,355 --> 00:58:05,777
My Lois is thinking of join and he says quite
a few gentlemen down at the bank are members
807
00:58:05,977 --> 00:58:07,865
and they're quite above board.
808
00:58:08,065 --> 00:58:10,866
Madge, it's for you.
Mister Stevenson.
809
00:58:14,380 --> 00:58:15,728
Madge!
810
00:58:18,583 --> 00:58:19,451
Tell him I'm not here.
811
00:58:27,386 --> 00:58:28,258
She's there.
812
00:58:29,090 --> 00:58:29,964
Jesus plan.
813
00:58:30,905 --> 00:58:32,718
The times in the post
Democrat are hitting us hard
814
00:58:32,918 --> 00:58:35,276
Gives a cross
815
00:58:36,722 --> 00:58:39,614
sells more copies in their rags,
give it away if you have to
816
00:58:39,814 --> 00:58:44,097
They got a hold of our books
short at Jackson as a member
817
00:58:44,370 --> 00:58:45,937
Who the hell they think these those rags anyway?
818
00:58:46,037 --> 00:58:47,905
A bunch of Jew lovers and catholics,
that's they are!
819
00:58:48,105 --> 00:58:50,060
Trying to destroy the dream!
820
00:58:50,260 --> 00:58:54,309
People are sitting on the fence about us and
we got to make sure they fall off our way!
821
00:58:55,502 --> 00:58:57,831
Well maybe with a few more speeches
we might be able to do something about it
822
00:58:58,031 --> 00:59:01,239
Pope John is making speeches!
823
00:59:20,968 --> 00:59:23,397
MAKE AMERICA CATHOLIC
824
00:59:25,540 --> 00:59:26,568
Election is over.
825
00:59:26,768 --> 00:59:28,582
Final count has just end.
Yeah?
826
00:59:28,977 --> 00:59:29,115
They won
827
00:59:29,334 --> 00:59:31,648
Almost every candidate seemes was backing as one.
828
00:59:32,100 --> 00:59:36,535
They took Senate seats and governors chairs in
Colorado Oregon Maine Iowa Kentucky Oklahoma
829
00:59:37,261 --> 00:59:39,579
or doesn't face my last count.
Ed Jackson is a new governor.
830
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,128
Somebody's gotta.. the sky
831
00:59:57,834 --> 01:00:00,863
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer
832
01:00:01,063 --> 01:00:07,514
my God my strength adventurous
I call upon you Lord because I'm so confused.
833
01:00:07,714 --> 01:00:12,524
Can I pray with you madam?
834
01:00:12,724 --> 01:00:17,369
We've been talking things over
since you were a child.
835
01:00:19,417 --> 01:00:21,332
I don't think you can help me this time
836
01:00:22,781 --> 01:00:25,315
Such disrespect in this new generation
837
01:00:25,515 --> 01:00:28,178
I'm a soldier of the Lord Madge
838
01:00:28,441 --> 01:00:32,479
Let me try.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude
839
01:00:34,679 --> 01:00:36,767
I'm so confused
840
01:00:39,447 --> 01:00:40,525
People gossip.
841
01:00:42,521 --> 01:00:44,485
Is David Stevenson the problem?
842
01:00:45,657 --> 01:00:48,492
Do you know him?
Yes, and he's a fine man!
843
01:00:49,376 --> 01:00:50,539
He'll go far in this world.
844
01:00:52,343 --> 01:00:54,273
Reverend, what do you
think of the Ku Klux Klan?
845
01:00:55,375 --> 01:00:58,136
The Klan began, Madge, with good intentions.
846
01:00:59,005 --> 01:01:01,103
it's true it lost its way for a time
847
01:01:01,515 --> 01:01:03,017
But do you really think they've changed?
848
01:01:03,898 --> 01:01:06,226
Look around today and I see a new plan.
849
01:01:07,137 --> 01:01:09,895
they support churches and hospitals
850
01:01:10,461 --> 01:01:12,231
Community Chest and youth programs
851
01:01:12,709 --> 01:01:13,175
and with Negroes would register
852
01:01:13,375 --> 01:01:16,237
to vote and use the cross with an image of hate
853
01:01:16,597 --> 01:01:17,171
Madge..
854
01:01:17,371 --> 01:01:22,210
David Stevenson is a good man
trying to do the Lord's work
855
01:01:22,410 --> 01:01:25,084
I can tell you from personal experience
856
01:01:25,635 --> 01:01:27,214
that's not an easy job these days
857
01:01:28,049 --> 01:01:29,669
I know, reverend.
858
01:01:30,398 --> 01:01:34,791
Madge, the Klan is bringing
people back to church.
859
01:01:36,399 --> 01:01:38,808
and in this age of godless socialism
860
01:01:39,910 --> 01:01:41,674
that's good for our country.
861
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,820
I wish I could believe that
862
01:01:47,620 --> 01:01:51,372
You don't have to save your problems
before you come and see me
863
01:01:51,572 --> 01:01:56,280
Tell your parents I said that, too.
864
01:01:57,136 --> 01:01:59,136
I will.
865
01:02:12,450 --> 01:02:15,799
Each and every one of you is aware of
866
01:02:15,999 --> 01:02:19,992
the conservative nature of the recent elections
867
01:02:20,963 --> 01:02:27,226
the legislature has interpreted those
results as a mandate for action.
868
01:02:27,413 --> 01:02:29,005
Sounds to me like we're getting the ax.
869
01:02:30,517 --> 01:02:31,871
Nobody is getting the ax!
870
01:02:33,306 --> 01:02:35,510
there have been certain bills introduced
871
01:02:36,464 --> 01:02:38,249
that may eliminate many of the programs
872
01:02:38,449 --> 01:02:42,141
that we're asking for in the upcoming budget
873
01:02:42,476 --> 01:02:43,735
well that's the same thing Harvey
874
01:02:45,263 --> 01:02:47,495
The following are the programs being targeted"
875
01:02:49,248 --> 01:02:51,473
The farmers supplementary fund
876
01:02:51,673 --> 01:02:54,568
the interstate roadway development study
877
01:02:55,324 --> 01:02:57,450
the young people's reading circle
878
01:02:57,650 --> 01:03:01,987
the hkvF, the Great lake shoreline
preservation program
879
01:03:06,356 --> 01:03:09,026
We now have 5
million Jews paying members
880
01:03:09,444 --> 01:03:13,085
that's nearly 10 percent of registered voters
committed working for our cause
881
01:03:13,848 --> 01:03:17,087
You've done a good job
Now I want you to have a reward
882
01:03:17,749 --> 01:03:19,834
The ultimate reward
883
01:03:21,034 --> 01:03:23,738
What would that be harmed life everlasting?
884
01:03:24,505 --> 01:03:28,853
I've decided to crown you as the Grand Dragon
of the realm of Indiana
885
01:03:32,390 --> 01:03:35,415
Grand dragon?
That's right
886
01:03:41,180 --> 01:03:43,880
Pouting isn't gonna do any good.
887
01:03:44,489 --> 01:03:46,645
I'm not pouting
888
01:03:47,823 --> 01:03:50,717
It's the reality of a new administration,
honey
889
01:03:51,820 --> 01:03:53,806
It's not just my program, they're
cutting everywhere
890
01:03:54,328 --> 01:03:56,712
No one thinks if I can't do this
a child's going to go to bed hungry
891
01:03:56,912 --> 01:03:58,566
or if I do this job he'll learn how to live.
892
01:04:00,272 --> 01:04:01,332
Madge
893
01:04:03,172 --> 01:04:08,304
Hello, Madge
Dad, this is mr. Stevenson.
894
01:04:12,380 --> 01:04:13,271
Honored to meet you, sir.
895
01:04:14,359 --> 01:04:18,451
I'm sure.
I'll be in the house
896
01:04:27,973 --> 01:04:29,212
your father loves you very much
897
01:04:31,575 --> 01:04:33,667
You're lucky.
Yes, I am.
898
01:04:35,842 --> 01:04:41,105
My parents... I left from my
parents a long time
899
01:04:45,575 --> 01:04:47,814
Do you take a ride with me?
900
01:04:48,014 --> 01:04:52,451
I have to end this thing
I want to show you something
901
01:04:55,327 --> 01:04:58,000
please
902
01:05:26,340 --> 01:05:30,455
What is this?
This is a crummy building
903
01:05:31,108 --> 01:05:32,559
Come on.
Where?
904
01:05:33,535 --> 01:05:34,357
inside
905
01:06:14,430 --> 01:06:15,508
Come on!
906
01:06:15,708 --> 01:06:18,236
What's this?
907
01:06:18,436 --> 01:06:23,280
This is what I can do
908
01:06:24,843 --> 01:06:27,062
this is what the Klan can do
909
01:06:29,344 --> 01:06:32,124
There have two million people
in the KKK here in Indiana, Madge.
910
01:06:33,110 --> 01:06:35,608
someone look fewer
backwards and me not all not me
911
01:06:36,687 --> 01:06:39,995
Don't continue to let something a very
few men did keep us apart
912
01:06:40,195 --> 01:06:43,317
What about you?
I mean you, not your Klan?
913
01:06:43,789 --> 01:06:44,822
What about me?
914
01:06:45,549 --> 01:06:47,839
I'm a good man a caring man, thank
915
01:06:48,039 --> 01:06:50,530
A man who wants to
make the world a better place
916
01:06:52,623 --> 01:06:53,545
same as you do, Madge.
917
01:06:56,905 --> 01:06:58,201
You want to make the world a better place
918
01:06:59,910 --> 01:07:03,349
you're special you have the dream
919
01:07:05,005 --> 01:07:06,126
so do I
920
01:07:09,068 --> 01:07:10,876
I'm about to go through the
most important event of my life
921
01:07:11,076 --> 01:07:12,104
and I can't think about anything
922
01:07:12,304 --> 01:07:13,716
but you..
923
01:07:13,916 --> 01:07:14,936
The most important event of your life?
924
01:07:16,490 --> 01:07:18,016
You're gonna crown me Grand Dragon
925
01:07:18,239 --> 01:07:19,814
You know what that means?
926
01:07:21,020 --> 01:07:24,730
you turn green and gross scales
927
01:07:25,735 --> 01:07:27,589
it means I can do this all over the country
928
01:07:30,207 --> 01:07:32,190
but I don't want to do anything without you
Madge
929
01:07:36,909 --> 01:07:38,677
and I don't wanna do anything without you
930
01:07:41,572 --> 01:07:42,767
I missed you
931
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,059
I want to share things with you.
932
01:07:50,777 --> 01:07:52,571
It's all so confusing, Steve
933
01:07:57,671 --> 01:07:59,574
I've never been touched in my life the
way you touch me.
934
01:08:02,150 --> 01:08:05,570
Don't turn the light from me, Madge.
935
01:08:40,940 --> 01:08:43,830
Look at this!
What time is it?
936
01:08:44,030 --> 01:08:45,136
Eleven to three.
937
01:08:45,336 --> 01:08:47,414
Damn thing, it was supposed to start at 2:30
938
01:08:47,614 --> 01:08:50,019
Where is Millencamp,
where are the photographers?
939
01:08:50,219 --> 01:08:53,828
I've never seen this many people before
940
01:08:54,028 --> 01:08:57,608
Oh Grady how can this many people be to?
941
01:08:57,808 --> 01:09:00,624
What about this guy checks out?
942
01:09:00,824 --> 01:09:02,917
He claims to be a war veteran
943
01:09:03,117 --> 01:09:04,586
we finally got the reports back
from Washington
944
01:09:04,786 --> 01:09:06,505
He's living up the country!
945
01:09:08,188 --> 01:09:09,814
I don't understand it
946
01:09:13,134 --> 01:09:16,462
I'm sure he'll be here soon sir
947
01:09:16,662 --> 01:09:19,863
He was scheduled to be here at
9:00 a.m. this morning
948
01:09:20,446 --> 01:09:22,653
We were
Well Steve has a real feel for the crowd
949
01:09:23,144 --> 01:09:24,437
Sometimes he likes to
be a little late.
950
01:09:25,014 --> 01:09:26,315
What Steve likes isn't important.
951
01:09:26,515 --> 01:09:29,186
Is important what I like.
These things will deceive me.
952
01:09:29,386 --> 01:09:31,125
This is Indiana, sir.
953
01:09:42,988 --> 01:09:45,780
He said it was going to be a picnic oh
954
01:09:45,980 --> 01:09:48,929
And they're gonna feed us dinner too?
955
01:09:50,459 --> 01:09:54,963
Course they will George, won't it?
956
01:09:56,699 --> 01:09:58,081
You think all these people are in the clan?
957
01:10:00,005 --> 01:10:00,763
I suppose so.
958
01:10:03,548 --> 01:10:05,617
I gotta tell you... you see a
crowd like this it's pretty exciting
959
01:10:07,577 --> 01:10:09,466
I didn't know this many people in all of Indiana
960
01:11:10,710 --> 01:11:13,940
hi, Steve!
961
01:11:59,050 --> 01:12:02,000
Steve!
962
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:14,665
Imperial wizard...
963
01:13:21,609 --> 01:13:25,604
all the citizen on the invisible empire!
964
01:13:41,450 --> 01:13:45,350
We have joined together on this day
965
01:13:45,550 --> 01:13:50,273
by an abiding faith in our American heritage!
966
01:13:55,880 --> 01:14:05,160
a mission of a Christian soldier
967
01:14:06,369 --> 01:14:12,532
who has joined in a
to protect and defend..
968
01:14:36,307 --> 01:14:38,307
America for America!
969
01:15:01,552 --> 01:15:02,878
What?
970
01:15:20,256 --> 01:15:22,256
I can't hear you!
971
01:15:26,449 --> 01:15:28,324
I said... and noone will stop us!
972
01:15:57,410 --> 01:16:00,289
When I'm with you like this I feel wonderful
973
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:03,927
I think the next step would be
Sunday dinner at my home
974
01:16:04,127 --> 01:16:06,878
Now the usual Ponder's courtship
975
01:16:07,821 --> 01:16:09,855
And what would you say if I
asked you to come with me to Chicago tonight?
976
01:16:10,719 --> 01:16:12,552
A gentleman wouldn't ask such a question
977
01:16:13,006 --> 01:16:14,855
I'm a dragon.
A grand dragon.
978
01:16:17,316 --> 01:16:21,842
I wish I could but it's hard to forget that in
less than a week the legislators canceled my program
979
01:16:22,042 --> 01:16:24,768
and everything I've worked for
will be swept into oblivion
980
01:16:24,968 --> 01:16:26,478
Don't want to dance anymore.
981
01:16:40,392 --> 01:16:40,962
Let me ask you:
982
01:16:42,607 --> 01:16:44,063
if you could talk to these
people and tell them
983
01:16:44,263 --> 01:16:46,193
why you think your program
should be maintained, would you?
984
01:16:46,393 --> 01:16:47,522
I could find a few things I could say
985
01:16:49,110 --> 01:16:52,285
I can arrange that
A meeting with the legislators?
986
01:16:52,485 --> 01:16:56,070
If you want
I want it very much
987
01:16:56,664 --> 01:16:57,064
it's yours
988
01:16:57,264 --> 01:16:58,304
we'll have a dinner party
989
01:16:58,504 --> 01:17:02,706
I invited certain key legislators
and you can twist their arm
990
01:17:02,906 --> 01:17:04,321
How about tomorrow night?
991
01:17:05,050 --> 01:17:05,681
what... fine
992
01:17:05,881 --> 01:17:08,723
But how can you get these
people together so quickly?
993
01:17:09,743 --> 01:17:12,905
the advantages of organization and caring
994
01:17:24,353 --> 01:17:26,780
Will trim the budget to an
acceptable level but there will still be a budget
995
01:17:26,980 --> 01:17:31,104
many of the social programs
you're talking about will continue
996
01:17:31,460 --> 01:17:35,441
The chosen, that's right
997
01:17:36,403 --> 01:17:40,479
The chosen. We weigh cost and value and
we'll make a choice.
998
01:17:41,596 --> 01:17:43,557
Let's call fiscal responsibility
999
01:17:43,757 --> 01:17:45,756
What about the young people's reading circle?
1000
01:17:45,956 --> 01:17:48,513
That's too early to know.
1001
01:17:48,804 --> 01:17:50,653
You won't pin him down, do you?
1002
01:17:50,853 --> 01:17:53,238
He has to find out how to think, first.
1003
01:17:53,438 --> 01:17:54,741
Shut up, Harriet.
1004
01:17:54,941 --> 01:17:58,238
Oh Harriet, being critical at the parties.
1005
01:18:13,450 --> 01:18:15,450
you want a drink?
1006
01:18:16,969 --> 01:18:18,268
No, thank you, I don't drink.
1007
01:18:19,823 --> 01:18:20,561
You will.
1008
01:18:20,761 --> 01:18:24,851
I'm very serious about my program.
I wanted you to know that.
1009
01:18:26,338 --> 01:18:29,169
I believe in value. Why tell me?
1010
01:18:32,606 --> 01:18:37,717
So maybe I'll nag John into voting for it?
yes
1011
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:44,140
There isn't a politician in that room who doesn't wet his
pants from David Stevenson speaks.
1012
01:18:45,589 --> 01:18:46,815
Think about that.
1013
01:18:51,500 --> 01:18:54,697
Yes I do have an influence
with these people.
1014
01:18:55,825 --> 01:18:56,510
I contributed to their campaigns
1015
01:18:56,710 --> 01:18:58,690
promoted them in the "Fiery cross"
1016
01:18:58,890 --> 01:19:00,389
I turned out the Klan vote
1017
01:19:01,033 --> 01:19:04,327
You own them.
Well I was certainly do influence them, yes
1018
01:19:05,228 --> 01:19:08,696
then influence them I wish they
would support it on its own merits
1019
01:19:09,154 --> 01:19:11,104
but at least you understand the
importance of the book program.
1020
01:19:12,101 --> 01:19:15,410
Yes.
You do believe in what I'm doing, don't you?
1021
01:19:15,610 --> 01:19:18,092
Absolutely. I'm willing to do
anything I can to help Madge,
1022
01:19:19,355 --> 01:19:20,388
but I need your help too
1023
01:19:21,421 --> 01:19:22,694
I need your attention Madge
1024
01:19:23,854 --> 01:19:27,099
playing me like a champ,
always there but not quite
1025
01:19:28,628 --> 01:19:30,452
always just out of reach
1026
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:35,781
You've been drinking?
You know I don't drink, Madge!
1027
01:19:35,981 --> 01:19:37,380
I can smell it!
1028
01:19:38,607 --> 01:19:41,307
I'm tired of playing, Madge!
Come upstairs with me now!
1029
01:19:41,507 --> 01:19:43,024
We shouldn't continue this conversation
1030
01:19:43,790 --> 01:19:45,419
Madge... we deserve each other
1031
01:19:45,738 --> 01:19:47,887
We deserve to wait Steve!
We've waited long enough!
1032
01:19:58,987 --> 01:20:03,105
I said I want...
1033
01:20:50,460 --> 01:20:53,582
I want you to take him home
make him rest making him plenty of oranges
1034
01:20:54,567 --> 01:20:56,939
and keep the boobs away
1035
01:21:34,389 --> 01:21:36,420
Oh
1036
01:21:39,010 --> 01:21:41,390
Pour me a couple of fingers, will you?
1037
01:21:43,340 --> 01:21:44,919
How are you doing, boss?
1038
01:21:47,890 --> 01:21:49,315
Thirsty
1039
01:21:51,902 --> 01:21:53,687
you want something to eat Steve?
I can get you a couple of eggs.
1040
01:21:53,887 --> 01:21:56,093
That'd be fine after some whiskey
1041
01:22:09,940 --> 01:22:13,799
Who am I?
you're the old man
1042
01:22:15,886 --> 01:22:17,280
That's good!
1043
01:22:20,361 --> 01:22:23,687
Here I am, the old man.
1044
01:22:24,409 --> 01:22:26,068
I own the Klan, I own Indiana
1045
01:22:28,401 --> 01:22:31,423
In 1928 I damn well will
be the President of the United States
1046
01:22:34,973 --> 01:22:36,730
Seems that such a man as
that ought to be able
1047
01:22:36,930 --> 01:22:39,039
to do just about anything he wants to do,
doesn't it?
1048
01:22:42,014 --> 01:22:44,803
Eggs will be ready in a couple of minutes.
1049
01:22:49,104 --> 01:22:50,560
You'll get my whisky
1050
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:52,130
Can I go out and get you a woman, boss?
1051
01:22:53,770 --> 01:22:55,470
I can go downtown and get you a couple.
1052
01:22:56,730 --> 01:22:58,513
I'm gonna get me a woman at home
1053
01:22:59,960 --> 01:23:03,250
Don't you worry about that.
1054
01:23:15,493 --> 01:23:16,234
Oh, I'll get it.
1055
01:23:16,434 --> 01:23:18,709
Barbara suppose to call.
1056
01:23:23,136 --> 01:23:23,964
Hello
1057
01:23:24,164 --> 01:23:25,468
Hello, Madge.
1058
01:23:25,668 --> 01:23:29,956
You shouldn't have called Steve,
there isn't anything to say.
1059
01:23:30,833 --> 01:23:32,687
No, not about us, no,that's all over.
1060
01:23:33,976 --> 01:23:38,089
I'm sorry for the way that I behaved
that was.. is it gone differently.
1061
01:23:39,302 --> 01:23:40,487
But that's all over.
1062
01:23:41,746 --> 01:23:42,984
Now there's only business.
1063
01:23:43,271 --> 01:23:44,520
What you mean?
1064
01:23:45,946 --> 01:23:48,064
I mean that I need to talk
to you about your book program
1065
01:23:49,862 --> 01:23:54,350
I'd come to you but I'm
packing to leave for Chicago tonight.
1066
01:23:54,733 --> 01:23:57,129
So, may I send someone for you?
1067
01:23:58,431 --> 01:24:02,141
What about the program?
Well the vote is in three days
1068
01:24:02,773 --> 01:24:06,571
if I'm gonna get the bill passed
I'm gonna need to know some facts
1069
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,109
You're going to support
the young people's reading circle?
1070
01:24:09,309 --> 01:24:11,906
Yes, Madge.
Without obligation?
1071
01:24:12,597 --> 01:24:13,328
Yes, Madge.
1072
01:24:13,528 --> 01:24:15,589
You were right, I was impatient.
1073
01:24:17,142 --> 01:24:18,528
but match I still believe in you
1074
01:24:19,483 --> 01:24:20,902
and I still serve the greater good
1075
01:24:21,503 --> 01:24:26,344
and right now I am in the middle of writing an
editorial in support of your book program
1076
01:24:27,434 --> 01:24:29,179
and I need you to help me finish it
1077
01:24:31,130 --> 01:24:37,986
So come on over and we'll see
that the bill gets passed.
1078
01:24:42,890 --> 01:24:44,123
Alright.
1079
01:24:46,235 --> 01:24:47,588
Alright then, I'll see you soon.
1080
01:25:28,179 --> 01:25:32,101
Come this way, please.
Thank you
1081
01:25:33,043 --> 01:25:36,800
That's all behold.
Good evening, Madge.
1082
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:38,029
Very glad you could make it.
1083
01:25:41,395 --> 01:25:43,145
Can I offer you a drink?
No, thank you.
1084
01:25:43,507 --> 01:25:45,000
We don't have much time
1085
01:25:46,446 --> 01:25:48,497
How long do you think it'll take
to explain your program to me?
1086
01:25:51,364 --> 01:25:53,934
uh I don't know...
an hour and a half, maybe less
1087
01:25:54,627 --> 01:25:56,677
Hey, I don't know if we have all that time
1088
01:25:56,829 --> 01:25:58,255
it's the car ready?
Ready to go.
1089
01:26:03,557 --> 01:26:07,493
Where's everybody?
I gave the staff the night off, Madge.
1090
01:26:07,693 --> 01:26:08,481
Matt's here.
1091
01:26:08,681 --> 01:26:11,113
I have something here I'd like you to try,
I think you'll love it
1092
01:26:11,313 --> 01:26:12,767
I don't want to drink!
I insist
1093
01:26:12,967 --> 01:26:16,324
Maybe my coming here it's a bad idea
we can talk when you get back.
1094
01:26:16,833 --> 01:26:18,085
Nonsense.
1095
01:26:18,285 --> 01:26:21,013
Why don't you come with me to
Chicago, you can explain it all in the car?
1096
01:26:21,669 --> 01:26:23,527
I don't want to go Steve.
Drink this
1097
01:26:23,916 --> 01:26:25,401
Smells like... Drink it!
1098
01:26:30,790 --> 01:26:31,907
God, it make me sick!
1099
01:26:33,260 --> 01:26:34,484
Just a little laudanum,
it will help you to relax
1100
01:26:36,910 --> 01:26:38,190
you're one of the more tense people I know, Madge
1101
01:26:39,719 --> 01:26:42,293
How can you make the world a
better place if you can't enjoy it?
1102
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,560
Put her in the car.
1103
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:51,219
We're all gonna take a little trip.
1104
01:27:07,630 --> 01:27:11,462
I've got three tickets for Chicago,
luxury compartment
1105
01:27:11,662 --> 01:27:13,432
I'm not going to, Steve
1106
01:27:16,837 --> 01:27:18,830
What's the name of that small town
just before the state line?
1107
01:27:19,376 --> 01:27:21,512
Drive up and meet us there.
1108
01:27:26,712 --> 01:27:29,423
See you there.
1109
01:27:30,416 --> 01:27:34,156
Come on, Madge!
1110
01:27:35,356 --> 01:27:40,812
Come on, sweetheart
1111
01:27:45,012 --> 01:27:50,201
Steve, where are you taking me?
1112
01:27:50,790 --> 01:27:53,069
Oh,shut up and stand up straight.
1113
01:27:53,534 --> 01:27:54,987
You look like an old drunk, Madge!
1114
01:27:57,230 --> 01:28:04,672
I want you to stop all this nonsense,
Madge and get on the train!
1115
01:28:06,226 --> 01:28:09,311
I don't want you to look at anybody
and don't talk to anybody!
1116
01:28:10,647 --> 01:28:12,647
Please let me go!
1117
01:28:12,847 --> 01:28:14,043
Sure, Madge!
1118
01:28:14,243 --> 01:28:18,528
You're about to have the time of your life!
1119
01:28:38,780 --> 01:28:43,338
Good evening folks welcome aboard.
Right this way, please
1120
01:28:53,661 --> 01:28:55,661
We can handle it
from here
1121
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,303
You get the top
1122
01:30:32,050 --> 01:30:33,908
hey, how are you doing?
1123
01:30:37,817 --> 01:30:39,075
you read about these Yankees?
1124
01:30:40,705 --> 01:30:42,380
These murderers rose really something
1125
01:30:44,654 --> 01:30:45,831
What do you want to do about the girl?
1126
01:30:46,031 --> 01:30:49,949
What do I care, take her home
1127
01:30:52,101 --> 01:30:52,940
Take her home?
1128
01:30:54,358 --> 01:30:55,831
Now what's the big deal?Take her home.
1129
01:31:33,580 --> 01:31:36,186
Get it cleaned up that?
1130
01:31:40,879 --> 01:31:42,314
Oh Steve what if she dies?
1131
01:31:43,010 --> 01:31:44,572
She looks like she's gonna die
1132
01:31:46,150 --> 01:31:49,452
Haven't you figured it out,
doesn't matter if she dies.
1133
01:31:49,886 --> 01:31:50,947
nothing matters except me!
1134
01:31:53,727 --> 01:31:55,115
I'm David Stevenson I'm the law in Indiana!
1135
01:31:56,962 --> 01:31:58,876
I'm the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan
1136
01:31:59,076 --> 01:32:02,139
and six million God-fearing
Americans out there who follow me!
1137
01:32:03,450 --> 01:32:04,950
I'm on my way to top!
1138
01:32:06,981 --> 01:32:09,298
Nothing can't stop me!
1139
01:32:10,585 --> 01:32:11,548
Nothing.
1140
01:32:11,748 --> 01:32:15,658
I've been right here by the phone,
1141
01:32:15,858 --> 01:32:21,609
like you asked me to be
but Madge hasn't called!
1142
01:32:21,873 --> 01:32:24,225
Yeah Eunice, thanks for your help in this,
we really appreciate it.
1143
01:32:33,290 --> 01:32:36,633
We're doing everything we can sir,
we'll find her.
1144
01:32:38,098 --> 01:32:38,987
Clell...
1145
01:32:39,187 --> 01:32:41,725
what are you... are you tired, mrs. Oberholtzer
let's get something to eat?
1146
01:32:41,925 --> 01:32:44,561
My daughter's been missing almost three days
1147
01:32:46,625 --> 01:32:48,271
I want to know if we should check the morgue
1148
01:32:50,140 --> 01:32:53,740
Madge, is that you?
thank you oh my why
1149
01:32:53,940 --> 01:32:56,629
Man, where are you carrying her?
1150
01:32:57,164 --> 01:32:59,025
What happened?
Car wreck!
1151
01:32:59,225 --> 01:33:01,710
Car wreck?
Is she she badly hurt?
1152
01:33:01,956 --> 01:33:02,950
You better get a doctor!
1153
01:33:12,325 --> 01:33:13,363
Who are you?
Jones.
1154
01:33:14,202 --> 01:33:15,325
You better get a doctor!
1155
01:33:15,930 --> 01:33:17,090
Oh
1156
01:33:28,169 --> 01:33:29,411
Madge!
1157
01:33:29,611 --> 01:33:33,729
.. that's why I came over
1158
01:33:33,929 --> 01:33:36,144
I'll get these things over
1159
01:33:37,144 --> 01:33:38,769
Call my mamma
1160
01:33:39,769 --> 01:33:42,421
Yes, honey, I'll get her right away
1161
01:33:42,621 --> 01:33:43,829
all for you yeah okay I don't
1162
01:34:16,900 --> 01:34:19,090
She's in the room?
Yes,
1163
01:34:21,495 --> 01:34:24,255
What happened?
He said about a car wreck but I don't know
1164
01:34:38,220 --> 01:34:39,019
Oh, my God!
1165
01:34:41,420 --> 01:34:46,293
George, she's ice cold!
1166
01:34:47,955 --> 01:34:50,206
Nasty bruises! How'd you get hurt, Madge?
1167
01:34:52,077 --> 01:34:55,967
I don't remember
It wasn't a car wreck oh
1168
01:35:02,072 --> 01:35:04,072
O, the..right away
1169
01:35:09,458 --> 01:35:10,245
You'll be alright
1170
01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:28,898
Well?
1171
01:35:29,098 --> 01:35:32,661
So she didn't get those
wounds from a car wreck
1172
01:35:33,180 --> 01:35:34,463
it look like teeth
1173
01:35:37,495 --> 01:35:40,668
ah I put another cup of coffee
1174
01:35:41,503 --> 01:35:43,054
...down the block
1175
01:35:44,625 --> 01:35:48,029
Who brought her home?
A man, his name is Johnson
1176
01:35:48,229 --> 01:35:49,729
John... good.
1177
01:35:49,929 --> 01:35:53,956
Can I speak with her?
I rather you didn't just yet
1178
01:35:54,536 --> 01:35:56,092
I gave her some morphine for the pain
1179
01:35:56,857 --> 01:35:58,518
her lacerations are infected,
1180
01:35:58,718 --> 01:36:01,289
but at this stage they
shouldn't be producing
1181
01:36:01,489 --> 01:36:04,236
the kind of agony she
seems to be experiencing
1182
01:36:04,436 --> 01:36:06,933
It's something inside her that's hurting her
1183
01:36:07,133 --> 01:36:09,311
If I knew what it was I could fight it
1184
01:36:13,610 --> 01:36:15,654
when she comes around talk to her
1185
01:36:20,077 --> 01:36:22,513
would it be all right if if...I wait?
1186
01:36:22,713 --> 01:36:26,519
O, son, you've been an enormous help
1187
01:36:27,045 --> 01:36:29,571
I appreciate that.
Why don't you go home now?
1188
01:36:31,079 --> 01:36:31,940
Please.
1189
01:36:32,921 --> 01:36:34,965
And you too, Eunice.
1190
01:36:36,214 --> 01:36:38,069
Thank you for coming.
1191
01:36:44,709 --> 01:36:46,124
Madge will like to hear
1192
01:36:47,169 --> 01:36:48,936
that would be good
1193
01:37:33,510 --> 01:37:35,943
Thanks, thank you for coming
1194
01:37:51,496 --> 01:37:53,496
Our baby girl
1195
01:37:58,906 --> 01:38:00,103
tell me what happened
1196
01:38:05,541 --> 01:38:08,464
the doctor doesn't know how to help you
1197
01:38:08,757 --> 01:38:12,682
he thinks maybe you've been poisoned
1198
01:38:13,949 --> 01:38:16,323
he needs to know if you took anything
1199
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:23,101
you got to tell me
1200
01:38:31,261 --> 01:38:35,419
I think those marks are teeth marks
1201
01:38:37,446 --> 01:38:40,058
Don't listen to that
How could that be?
1202
01:38:40,826 --> 01:38:42,275
you don't have to be ashamed to me, Madge
1203
01:38:44,830 --> 01:38:46,910
You don't have to be embarrassed
of anything before me
1204
01:38:47,110 --> 01:38:50,220
I am ashamed
1205
01:38:55,530 --> 01:38:57,531
I love you.
1206
01:38:59,433 --> 01:39:02,670
He beat me, oh, he did things!
1207
01:39:02,870 --> 01:39:05,297
Tell me who it was?
1208
01:39:15,919 --> 01:39:17,919
Steve
1209
01:40:13,010 --> 01:40:15,395
You bastard!
1210
01:40:15,595 --> 01:40:22,153
She's gonna blow your brains out
1211
01:40:22,310 --> 01:40:25,449
Oh getting better Madge
1212
01:40:37,569 --> 01:40:40,360
I don't care how much money a bastard has
1213
01:40:42,163 --> 01:40:44,914
He can't do something like
this and get away with it!
1214
01:40:46,403 --> 01:40:50,217
not even here in a town
where he owns that damn police
1215
01:40:50,417 --> 01:40:52,174
You can have them arrested by
filing a citizen's complaint
1216
01:40:52,601 --> 01:40:55,036
All you have to do is swear your
charges and the police must act.
1217
01:40:55,236 --> 01:40:56,502
I don't know how to do that!
1218
01:40:56,702 --> 01:40:58,815
I'll go to the police with you
with dr. Kingsbury's report
1219
01:40:59,015 --> 01:41:01,076
they'll have no choice but to arrest him
1220
01:41:01,276 --> 01:41:03,530
I don't want him just arrested
1221
01:41:04,606 --> 01:41:05,734
I want him convicted
1222
01:41:06,350 --> 01:41:07,308
I want him hanged.
1223
01:41:08,031 --> 01:41:09,756
THE KLAN SUPPORTS YOUR LOCAL POLICE
1224
01:41:11,810 --> 01:41:13,973
yes, gentlemen, you have a problem?
1225
01:41:14,253 --> 01:41:15,000
we're we're
1226
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:17,340
filing a complaint for crimes
1227
01:41:17,540 --> 01:41:20,404
committed against mr. Oberholtzer's daughter
1228
01:41:20,806 --> 01:41:21,970
I outlined them here -
1229
01:41:22,470 --> 01:41:23,390
what kind of crime?
1230
01:41:23,631 --> 01:41:24,967
Mr. Oberholtzer daughter was raped and beaten
1231
01:41:25,345 --> 01:41:29,958
we have finally charges for
for assault, aggravated assault,
1232
01:41:30,158 --> 01:41:32,719
attempted rape with intent to kill,
aggravated rape
1233
01:41:33,435 --> 01:41:35,712
kidnapping man
My God,against who?
1234
01:41:36,036 --> 01:41:37,078
David C Stanton
1235
01:41:38,392 --> 01:41:40,132
Who?
1236
01:41:44,332 --> 01:41:46,420
This bastard!
1237
01:41:47,168 --> 01:41:48,250
Right here.
1238
01:41:51,735 --> 01:41:53,490
They are arresting him
Who?
1239
01:41:53,690 --> 01:41:56,003
They are arresting David Stevenson!
what did he do?
1240
01:41:59,030 --> 01:42:01,688
we know what she took?
Bichloride of mercury
1241
01:42:02,933 --> 01:42:03,323
how much? A lot.
1242
01:42:03,523 --> 01:42:07,122
They were the convulsions and the vomiting
1243
01:42:07,322 --> 01:42:10,243
She's probably gotten most
of it in her nervous system
1244
01:42:10,443 --> 01:42:13,966
if she survived this long it's a good sign
1245
01:42:14,166 --> 01:42:15,710
George would you excuse us
1246
01:42:15,910 --> 01:42:17,184
Oh, sure.
1247
01:42:25,969 --> 01:42:27,927
let's see what else we're dealing with
1248
01:42:28,674 --> 01:42:32,065
note the bruising and the lacerations
1249
01:42:32,265 --> 01:42:33,686
somebody beat the hell out of this girl
1250
01:42:34,353 --> 01:42:37,100
bite marks and flesh tears evidence on
1251
01:42:37,300 --> 01:42:40,801
both breasts stomach inner thighs
1252
01:42:41,585 --> 01:42:45,977
hematoma present with the contusions
1253
01:42:46,177 --> 01:42:50,088
indication at least two cracked ribs
1254
01:42:50,288 --> 01:42:53,134
she appears to have been chewed
1255
01:42:53,745 --> 01:42:55,745
lord what kind of animal did this?
1256
01:43:01,853 --> 01:43:02,930
I get a copy of that!
1257
01:43:04,470 --> 01:43:05,701
I send one home to my mother
1258
01:43:09,118 --> 01:43:09,890
So, how this man look like?
1259
01:43:10,090 --> 01:43:11,270
Did you do it, mr. Stevenson?
1260
01:43:11,470 --> 01:43:13,240
Is it true that you raped Madge Overholser?
1261
01:43:16,972 --> 01:43:17,930
you boys not got animals
1262
01:43:18,130 --> 01:43:20,015
you know there's people that get me
1263
01:43:20,497 --> 01:43:22,570
I went out with magic Overholser a couple of times
1264
01:43:23,207 --> 01:43:25,373
I didn't much like her
1265
01:43:25,573 --> 01:43:28,606
well I just came down and let Steve
and the loyal voters of the state
1266
01:43:28,806 --> 01:43:30,757
know that his friends
haven't lost faith
1267
01:43:31,929 --> 01:43:32,559
now when each and every one of you to
1268
01:43:32,759 --> 01:43:34,424
know that right now as I speak
1269
01:43:34,624 --> 01:43:36,775
the wheels of justice have been set into
motion
1270
01:43:44,739 --> 01:43:48,904
In an inspiring show of solidarity and power
1271
01:43:49,104 --> 01:43:51,974
the Ku Klux Klan marched on Washington today
1272
01:43:52,174 --> 01:43:55,981
white broke Klansmen
flooded the streets of our capital city
1273
01:43:56,181 --> 01:43:59,562
in the most impressive parade
since the end of the Great War
1274
01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:10,678
It was a hell of a show!
People from miles!
1275
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:13,152
We should all be proud
1276
01:44:16,340 --> 01:44:21,166
more importantly how the local clan
ones responded to the indictment
1277
01:44:21,366 --> 01:44:25,214
with the loyalty of true Knights
1278
01:44:25,837 --> 01:44:30,450
Now New York Times is paying
attention and some of the other Jew newspapers
1279
01:44:30,919 --> 01:44:32,431
but most of them are ignoring it so far
1280
01:44:32,631 --> 01:44:36,344
get some people down there I
want to be kept up to date
1281
01:44:36,544 --> 01:44:38,126
we have people there already
1282
01:44:40,114 --> 01:44:41,075
not Steve's people
1283
01:44:41,569 --> 01:44:43,086
my people
1284
01:44:59,665 --> 01:45:01,244
Mr Oberholtzer
1285
01:45:01,673 --> 01:45:05,789
Klan members say that Mr Stevenson is being railroaded
in a political effort to destroy their cause
1286
01:45:08,051 --> 01:45:09,923
Son of the horse, he has the
whole damn country behind him
1287
01:45:11,665 --> 01:45:12,852
He left the up against him
1288
01:45:13,995 --> 01:45:17,892
well Steven..trial to Ku Klux Klan
1289
01:45:18,047 --> 01:45:19,558
well I'm not sure he can separate the two anymore
1290
01:45:23,322 --> 01:45:27,532
there's a... there's been a prosecutor
assigned to oversee the case
1291
01:45:27,732 --> 01:45:29,513
well thank
God for that!
1292
01:45:31,536 --> 01:45:36,076
yes is he good?
I don't know.
1293
01:45:37,581 --> 01:45:40,328
What the hell is that?
well...
1294
01:45:42,852 --> 01:45:46,680
well he's tried a couple of assaults and
1295
01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:51,374
a couple of a grand theft auto
1296
01:45:52,260 --> 01:45:56,670
there was a camel encasement once
yeah anyone
1297
01:45:56,870 --> 01:45:57,818
most of them
1298
01:45:58,018 --> 01:46:01,969
He just doesn't go a lot
of experience, that's all.
1299
01:46:02,198 --> 01:46:05,002
damn it, Clell, I just want to
take a big gun to bring Stevens
1300
01:46:05,102 --> 01:46:06,374
you know that everybody knows that
1301
01:46:11,303 --> 01:46:12,500
only thing
1302
01:46:12,700 --> 01:46:15,450
they've got no interest in bringing it down
1303
01:46:15,650 --> 01:46:22,020
He's a man with a lot of power mr. Oberholtzer
1304
01:46:24,623 --> 01:46:27,844
A case like this could end a man's
career if Stephenson comes out on top
1305
01:46:30,606 --> 01:46:31,946
Who is going to prosecute?
1306
01:46:39,370 --> 01:46:40,472
Me.
1307
01:46:47,251 --> 01:46:53,070
Clell you're a good boy and I appreciate
everything you've... you're trying to do.
1308
01:46:54,247 --> 01:46:57,829
well.. this makes me damn mad
1309
01:46:58,029 --> 01:47:00,642
It makes me damn mad, you're just the sacrificial lamb
1310
01:47:00,842 --> 01:47:02,837
and mr Stevenson's gonna through you up
1311
01:47:22,110 --> 01:47:23,988
Mind if I came in?
1312
01:47:28,724 --> 01:47:29,724
Hi, Clell.
1313
01:47:36,367 --> 01:47:42,610
We have David Stevenson arrested, Madge
1314
01:47:42,810 --> 01:47:44,303
They've put me in charge of prosecuting the case
1315
01:47:48,495 --> 01:47:55,873
Madge, I need to
hear the things you told to your father
1316
01:47:57,461 --> 01:48:01,290
you get tired you you feel weak
1317
01:48:02,248 --> 01:48:07,397
I'll stop whatever you want but
I need to hear everything that happened.
1318
01:48:07,597 --> 01:48:10,066
I want to write
it down
1319
01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:18,007
I can't prepare a case if
I don't know what happened
1320
01:48:18,207 --> 01:48:21,082
would it help if I stayed, Madge?
1321
01:48:22,003 --> 01:48:24,223
and wrote it down for Klell
1322
01:48:24,561 --> 01:48:26,049
That would make it easier?
1323
01:48:30,979 --> 01:48:34,765
Is gonna be a trial?
1324
01:48:34,965 --> 01:48:35,495
yes
1325
01:48:38,906 --> 01:48:45,888
well, I have to describe
what he did to me in court?
1326
01:48:49,931 --> 01:48:56,892
in front of a jury, yes
1327
01:49:02,259 --> 01:49:03,596
...a good time
1328
01:49:18,369 --> 01:49:24,134
I'm going to die, Klell
No, you're not!
1329
01:49:24,334 --> 01:49:31,450
you're going to beat this and
we're going to put Stephenson away
1330
01:49:31,650 --> 01:49:35,616
And I promise you that, Madge.
1331
01:49:40,787 --> 01:49:45,219
Why don't you start by telling us what
happened after you got off the train?
1332
01:50:23,590 --> 01:50:27,068
I'll kill you if you're yelling or screaming
1333
01:50:27,268 --> 01:50:28,175
You understand?
1334
01:50:40,999 --> 01:50:44,698
I need some new clothes Steve
I can't go round like this, please
1335
01:50:44,898 --> 01:50:47,659
yeah sure you got to look nice,
1336
01:50:47,859 --> 01:50:49,563
I'm going to use you 2 or 3 more times.
1337
01:50:49,900 --> 01:50:54,780
Clay take her in there, get her
whatever she wants
1338
01:50:54,980 --> 01:50:56,071
Come
1339
01:51:09,410 --> 01:51:14,174
we got to pay now
let me go
1340
01:51:14,374 --> 01:51:18,436
Steve's waiting for you
I can't go through that again!
1341
01:51:18,636 --> 01:51:21,011
please just let me go, I'll do
whatever you want
1342
01:51:21,211 --> 01:51:23,482
I'm not gonna put myself
against the old man, Madge,
1343
01:51:23,682 --> 01:51:24,751
I only do what he says.
1344
01:51:30,530 --> 01:51:33,494
Can we go to the drugstore?
I need something.
1345
01:51:35,370 --> 01:51:36,758
Sure, we can do that.
1346
01:52:35,513 --> 01:52:37,044
try and breathe nice and even
1347
01:52:37,855 --> 01:52:41,778
Deep breaths.
1348
01:52:42,978 --> 01:52:45,902
Better now?
1349
01:52:52,556 --> 01:52:54,175
Things comes closer together
Do you think maybe I'm pregnant?
1350
01:52:54,375 --> 01:52:57,968
Infection's gotten worse, Madge.
1351
01:52:58,168 --> 01:53:02,530
You've got what is called nefritis
1352
01:53:02,730 --> 01:53:05,280
what's that,something good?
1353
01:53:13,552 --> 01:53:14,579
Come on fellas, I don't have all day, do I?
1354
01:53:14,779 --> 01:53:19,264
You're going to die Madge
1355
01:53:30,940 --> 01:53:34,530
a little different when...
1356
01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:48,155
Clell Henry
we've tried everything
1357
01:53:48,355 --> 01:53:51,021
infections gotten worse Klell
I thought you should know.
1358
01:53:51,764 --> 01:53:55,024
well I'm almost finished with
the transcription of her statement.
1359
01:53:55,348 --> 01:53:57,634
She'll have to sign it.
You'd better hurry
1360
01:54:29,180 --> 01:54:32,950
Great!
how much of this is hearsay?
1361
01:54:33,642 --> 01:54:36,710
none of it I've got a buddy
on the force, it's all true
1362
01:54:39,361 --> 01:54:41,254
it's good writing.
I'm not gonna run it.
1363
01:54:41,454 --> 01:54:44,647
It's an important story no one else is covering it,
we both know why!
1364
01:54:45,244 --> 01:54:46,923
If the girl recovers she's had enough shame
1365
01:54:47,673 --> 01:54:50,296
if she dies we'll have plenty
of time to run the story
1366
01:54:50,496 --> 01:54:51,903
hold on this.
1367
01:55:15,230 --> 01:55:19,065
Was I asleep?
We have the notes here,Madge
1368
01:55:19,265 --> 01:55:20,870
we want to read them back to you
1369
01:55:21,070 --> 01:55:21,778
Good plan
1370
01:55:21,978 --> 01:55:26,072
if we got anything wrong
tell me and I'll change it
1371
01:55:26,272 --> 01:55:29,095
when it's
just right I want you to sign it
1372
01:55:34,016 --> 01:55:36,918
I, Madge Madge Oberholtzer being
a full possession
1373
01:55:37,118 --> 01:55:41,109
of my mental faculties and conscious
1374
01:55:41,309 --> 01:55:46,220
that I am about... I'm
about to die...
1375
01:55:48,530 --> 01:55:52,019
you're doing fine Klell, don't stop now
1376
01:55:56,330 --> 01:56:01,820
that is my dying declaration the
following statement.
1377
01:56:08,730 --> 01:56:12,240
This is delicious!
1378
01:56:14,082 --> 01:56:17,368
You know what encouraged me that unspools
are really going to make me stand trial for this?
1379
01:56:17,846 --> 01:56:19,069
No way!
1380
01:56:19,269 --> 01:56:21,721
They need a criminal lawyer
and they're just a man
1381
01:56:22,521 --> 01:56:23,971
He's the best, world class!
1382
01:56:24,171 --> 01:56:25,896
I could have him stop by if you want
1383
01:56:26,205 --> 01:56:28,480
it's real good
I've hit everybody you bet
1384
01:56:28,680 --> 01:56:30,160
Listen
1385
01:56:30,360 --> 01:56:33,095
floozie like this figure
she's got something coming that she's done
1386
01:56:33,491 --> 01:56:34,602
so she makes these kind of charges against you.
1387
01:56:35,612 --> 01:56:38,197
every man at this table is a
target for something like that
1388
01:56:39,340 --> 01:56:40,450
You can't get away with her, right?
1389
01:56:40,997 --> 01:56:42,947
you're a good friend and I appreciate it
1390
01:56:50,522 --> 01:56:52,000
Gentlemen, any way we can lose?
1391
01:56:54,435 --> 01:56:58,739
I'm sure that I will not
recover from this illness
1392
01:56:58,939 --> 01:57:02,101
and that death is very near to me
1393
01:57:02,301 --> 01:57:07,272
and I have made all of the foregoing
statements as my dying declaration
1394
01:57:09,459 --> 01:57:10,400
and they are true
1395
01:57:18,384 --> 01:57:20,630
that's all of it?
1396
01:57:26,830 --> 01:57:28,770
yes
1397
01:57:28,970 --> 01:57:34,109
Is everything I read to you true and accurate?
1398
01:58:00,768 --> 01:58:02,096
I hope it's legible.
1399
01:58:03,246 --> 01:58:04,201
It's fine, Madge.
1400
01:58:09,030 --> 01:58:10,909
Why did you do this to me,Barb?
1401
01:58:13,750 --> 01:58:18,929
he won't do this to anyone else I promise
1402
01:58:22,500 --> 01:58:24,140
Do you, Klell?
1403
01:58:30,776 --> 01:58:31,878
I love you
1404
01:58:49,500 --> 01:58:53,250
I'll get...
1405
01:59:26,070 --> 01:59:30,620
the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away
1406
01:59:30,820 --> 01:59:33,441
how difficult these words of Job
1407
01:59:33,847 --> 01:59:36,168
are for us to accept in our sorrow
1408
01:59:37,282 --> 01:59:40,219
and yet the Bible tells us:
1409
01:59:40,419 --> 01:59:44,612
"trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean
not on our own understanding
1410
01:59:46,042 --> 01:59:51,264
for it is not given to us to fathom
the workings of God's great plan"
1411
01:59:52,140 --> 01:59:56,194
we must lean on our faith for that
1412
01:59:58,023 --> 02:00:02,562
let us therefore honour Madge not by our grief alone
1413
02:00:03,945 --> 02:00:06,923
but by reaffirming our faith
1414
02:00:08,307 --> 02:00:12,884
and thus make greater things grow
from smaller
1415
02:00:13,972 --> 02:00:16,338
may peace arrive from chaos
1416
02:00:19,306 --> 02:00:22,895
for our Lord Jesus Christ amen
1417
02:00:35,800 --> 02:00:39,295
Call me, my prayers are with you.
1418
02:00:53,910 --> 02:00:58,563
This is not natural, parent bearing the child
1419
02:01:01,119 --> 02:01:03,865
the child buries a parent that's
natural that's right
1420
02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:07,362
Who will bury us now?
1421
02:01:18,610 --> 02:01:21,773
I wish he didn't look at me that way
1422
02:01:24,904 --> 02:01:26,605
have you read "The star" this morning?
1423
02:01:27,290 --> 02:01:30,462
They are calling you "the Boy prosecutor"
1424
02:01:30,492 --> 02:01:32,660
I can't give them much confidence
What about me?
1425
02:01:36,432 --> 02:01:39,145
I'm going home with them.
I'll talk to you later
1426
02:02:12,520 --> 02:02:14,654
Mr. Henry
Boyd Gurley, "Indianapolis Times "
1427
02:02:16,441 --> 02:02:18,001
oh no, this isn't a very good time,mr. Gurley
1428
02:02:18,201 --> 02:02:20,533
I know that and I'm sorry
but I do have to talk to you
1429
02:02:20,733 --> 02:02:21,048
I'm sure you do
1430
02:02:21,248 --> 02:02:24,797
I'm told you just raised the
charges against Stevenson to murder
1431
02:02:25,830 --> 02:02:26,561
how come
1432
02:02:26,864 --> 02:02:27,645
because that's what he did
1433
02:02:28,600 --> 02:02:31,500
David Stevenson murdered Madge Oberholtzer
1434
02:02:32,499 --> 02:02:33,745
now he's gonna answer for it
1435
02:02:34,083 --> 02:02:36,750
28 year-old woman who takes
poison by her own hand?
1436
02:02:36,950 --> 02:02:39,050
You're gonna have to be very
good to prove it was murder
1437
02:02:40,601 --> 02:02:42,910
You're lawyer or reporter?
1438
02:02:42,954 --> 02:02:44,009
I've covered a trailer too
1439
02:02:46,679 --> 02:02:48,965
I'm gonna give the jury the truth
1440
02:02:49,165 --> 02:02:51,452
what else can I do mr. Gurley on
1441
02:02:51,652 --> 02:02:55,215
that is the most naive statement
of it across a lawyer's lips
1442
02:02:55,415 --> 02:02:59,360
Do you know who you're up
against?
1443
02:03:00,199 --> 02:03:04,030
Your name is David Stevenson?
My friends call me Steve.
1444
02:03:04,230 --> 02:03:07,991
Would you like some coffee?
1445
02:03:08,742 --> 02:03:09,370
No thank you
1446
02:03:09,570 --> 02:03:11,714
My lawyers tell me I need another lawyer
1447
02:03:12,639 --> 02:03:14,128
Ed Jackson says
you're the best there is.
1448
02:03:14,328 --> 02:03:15,860
That's true
1449
02:03:16,584 --> 02:03:18,163
I am a confident man.
1450
02:03:18,363 --> 02:03:23,041
I'm gonna need a confident man to defend
me against these outrageous charges
1451
02:03:23,692 --> 02:03:28,342
you kill that girl?
I swear to God.. I did not
1452
02:03:28,542 --> 02:03:32,001
Did you kidnap, rape, do any of
those things she said you did?
1453
02:03:39,719 --> 02:03:42,212
Madge Oberholtzer and I were lovers
1454
02:03:43,949 --> 02:03:45,552
Things weren't working
out the way she wanted to
1455
02:03:45,752 --> 02:03:50,447
You know what they say about a woman scorned
1456
02:03:51,647 --> 02:03:52,252
Sir, you speak once
1457
02:03:52,452 --> 02:03:57,369
you know up and Gary jam-packed with Steel Workers
and the wives and the kids
1458
02:03:58,138 --> 02:04:01,677
You spoke for two hours there's people
that make a sound you held them spellbound
1459
02:04:03,568 --> 02:04:06,865
If you can move a jury like
that you get it made
1460
02:04:07,683 --> 02:04:08,830
What about Gentry and Clink?
1461
02:04:09,030 --> 02:04:10,795
two loyal fellows who have done no harm
1462
02:04:10,995 --> 02:04:13,891
if you'll represent me he'll be representing them
1463
02:04:15,131 --> 02:04:16,900
I'll need your help I'm rich I'm famous
1464
02:04:17,276 --> 02:04:18,496
and this is going to be a famous case
1465
02:04:20,064 --> 02:04:21,980
I don't know the facts yet mr. Stevenson
1466
02:04:22,526 --> 02:04:24,597
Call me Steve.
Steve.
1467
02:04:24,797 --> 02:04:28,215
I'll have to review the evidence
1468
02:04:28,415 --> 02:04:31,604
But I don't see a problem,
the girl took poison by her own hands-suicide.
1469
02:04:40,744 --> 02:04:42,744
We've got nothing to say
1470
02:05:43,380 --> 02:05:45,218
Mr. Henry? yeah
1471
02:05:45,418 --> 02:05:47,779
We haven't had the pleasure
1472
02:05:50,031 --> 02:05:50,761
Mister..
1473
02:05:52,314 --> 02:05:54,336
Relax, son, this won't take long.
1474
02:05:56,892 --> 02:05:58,390
I didn't think he is so young!
He's so scared!
1475
02:05:59,550 --> 02:06:02,380
Scare is good, shows he's thinking
1476
02:06:02,580 --> 02:06:03,623
All rise.
1477
02:06:03,971 --> 02:06:06,928
The Superior Court of Indiana is now in session.
1478
02:06:07,969 --> 02:06:11,139
The Honorable Judge William Sparks presiding.
Be seated!
1479
02:06:14,339 --> 02:06:18,339
Looks like an armed camp in here
1480
02:06:19,949 --> 02:06:24,127
Mr. Inman. isn't it appropriate for
the accused to be present at his own trial?
1481
02:06:24,327 --> 02:06:27,853
It's my intention to address that
in our opening moments, your honor
1482
02:06:28,053 --> 02:06:30,041
Very well
1483
02:06:30,059 --> 02:06:31,058
Well we have a lot of ground to cover
1484
02:06:31,258 --> 02:06:32,605
before jury select the gentlemen
so let's get down to business.
1485
02:06:34,647 --> 02:06:35,767
mr. Inman
1486
02:06:36,238 --> 02:06:39,294
I have decided and ruled prior to motion
1487
02:06:40,216 --> 02:06:41,090
That bail will not be granted
1488
02:06:41,290 --> 02:06:44,383
as inappropriate where the charge
of murder is under consideration.
1489
02:06:44,583 --> 02:06:45,755
It'll hit the fan now.
1490
02:06:45,955 --> 02:06:47,502
No objection, your honor
1491
02:06:49,428 --> 02:06:52,491
Well, that's very cooperative view mr. Inman
1492
02:06:53,722 --> 02:06:55,442
are there any motions you'd like
to make it this time?
1493
02:06:55,642 --> 02:06:57,646
Quite a few your honor,
but I'm afraid they're inappropriate
1494
02:06:57,846 --> 02:07:00,422
until a more pressing issue is addressed.
1495
02:07:01,070 --> 02:07:03,141
Very well, sir.
1496
02:07:05,125 --> 02:07:09,720
You already noticed the security guards present
1497
02:07:09,920 --> 02:07:12,562
I'd like you to take a look at this, sir.
1498
02:07:14,227 --> 02:07:15,439
Death threats
1499
02:07:15,639 --> 02:07:18,514
some of them quite
descriptive in their mania
1500
02:07:18,714 --> 02:07:21,051
two going so far as the
state that mr. Stephenson
1501
02:07:21,251 --> 02:07:23,832
would be murdered where he
sat here in the courtroom
1502
02:07:24,293 --> 02:07:28,145
Because of this I'm forced to
move for a change of venue
1503
02:07:28,345 --> 02:07:32,267
out of Indianapolis to a more
control over environment.
1504
02:07:32,616 --> 02:07:35,421
Your Honor, may I see those?
1505
02:07:37,889 --> 02:07:41,478
I've compiled the list three times
1506
02:07:41,678 --> 02:07:45,230
all within an easy drive of Indianapolis and
1507
02:07:45,430 --> 02:07:46,644
pray that you'll choose one as an alternative...
1508
02:07:46,844 --> 02:07:49,198
your honor
1509
02:07:49,514 --> 02:07:52,126
those sites are Heighten,
Greentown and Noblesville
1510
02:07:52,326 --> 02:07:54,544
each and every one a Hoosier town of the finest
1511
02:07:54,744 --> 02:07:55,518
Jury!
1512
02:07:55,718 --> 02:07:58,034
The bastard's trying to load the jury!
1513
02:07:58,358 --> 02:08:03,512
Your honor, to say that a defendant
cannot be protected here in Indianapolis
1514
02:08:03,712 --> 02:08:04,201
our capital city...
1515
02:08:04,401 --> 02:08:06,989
The death threats seem very real to me, sir.
1516
02:08:07,969 --> 02:08:10,946
Now, your honor realizes where I could not allow my
client to appear today
1517
02:08:12,289 --> 02:08:14,695
out of a grave concern for his safety.
Grave concern?
1518
02:08:15,646 --> 02:08:18,587
Motion granted mr. Enmund.
I'll grant you your change events.
1519
02:08:19,965 --> 02:08:25,588
This Court will reconvene
in exactly one week's time in Noblesville Indiana
1520
02:08:26,122 --> 02:08:27,478
Court adjourned!
Damn!
1521
02:08:27,936 --> 02:08:31,892
All rise!
You can't believe those...himself
1522
02:08:32,092 --> 02:08:33,731
All right, all right
1523
02:08:35,108 --> 02:08:36,989
If we're gonna trench
all over that backwords
1524
02:08:37,189 --> 02:08:39,669
you might as well let this
son of a whore go right now!
1525
02:08:40,110 --> 02:08:43,029
This lunatic raped and murdered my little girl!
What the hell is going on here?
1526
02:08:43,310 --> 02:08:45,390
You run-up to this point
1527
02:08:54,010 --> 02:08:55,719
what I tell you son?
1528
02:08:55,919 --> 02:08:58,225
It didn't take long at all!
1529
02:09:19,297 --> 02:09:21,343
Steve, Steve!
1530
02:09:31,110 --> 02:09:33,953
Mr Stevenson, how long do you
think the trial will last?
1531
02:09:34,153 --> 02:09:37,069
Do you mind standing trial here in Noblesville?
1532
02:09:37,269 --> 02:09:39,751
No, sir
I'm proud of the trial here
1533
02:09:41,154 --> 02:09:43,002
There are some of the best
people in America right here
1534
02:09:44,254 --> 02:09:45,438
I love Noblesville
1535
02:09:45,638 --> 02:09:47,873
Noblesville is gonna set me free.
1536
02:09:58,133 --> 02:09:58,879
Alright mr. Cage.
1537
02:09:59,079 --> 02:10:02,478
Tell us your name and swear you'll
answer all our questions truthfully
1538
02:10:03,626 --> 02:10:06,791
Pete Cage.I swear
You know why you're here?
1539
02:10:06,991 --> 02:10:09,621
You wanted to see if I would be a fit juror.
1540
02:10:09,821 --> 02:10:11,787
Yeah, I reckon you're right.
1541
02:10:12,771 --> 02:10:16,556
Now these two lawyers here
are gonna ask you some questions
1542
02:10:16,756 --> 02:10:24,150
and if it looks like you'll make
a good juror I'm gonna have you sit over there
1543
02:10:24,350 --> 02:10:25,961
And go over here?
1544
02:10:26,161 --> 02:10:28,531
Yeah all right, mr. Henry
1545
02:10:36,630 --> 02:10:38,235
Mr. Cage,
1546
02:10:41,435 --> 02:10:44,857
do you know who David Stevenson is?
1547
02:10:45,057 --> 02:10:46,004
I reckon.
1548
02:10:46,204 --> 02:10:48,940
Who do you reckon he is?
1549
02:10:49,140 --> 02:10:52,783
Reckon he's about the finest
man that ever walked this land.
1550
02:11:00,276 --> 02:11:02,994
It's being said Steve's conduct
hadn't been Klan like.
1551
02:11:03,962 --> 02:11:05,305
This from our people or is this is rumors?
1552
02:11:05,543 --> 02:11:06,210
Our people
1553
02:11:06,995 --> 02:11:09,959
the more their nose around the more
they hear talk a heavy drinking
1554
02:11:10,159 --> 02:11:12,897
..they say Steve's even
involved in bootlegging
1555
02:11:19,949 --> 02:11:23,080
How the Indiana Klan reacted?
1556
02:11:24,343 --> 02:11:25,651
there is concern.
1557
02:11:25,851 --> 02:11:28,595
there are those who wonder if
these stories might not be true
1558
02:11:30,354 --> 02:11:32,647
membership has just passed eight million
1559
02:11:32,847 --> 02:11:37,541
something like this could destroy our progress
1560
02:11:37,764 --> 02:11:40,065
Something like this could destroy us completely
1561
02:11:40,265 --> 02:11:43,908
If people lose faith in us we have nothing
1562
02:11:45,424 --> 02:11:50,585
That maybe I can lend a little support of my own.
1563
02:11:55,503 --> 02:11:59,488
What Noblesville needs is Klan Day
1564
02:11:59,688 --> 02:12:02,380
Abel Parks
1565
02:12:02,580 --> 02:12:05,459
number 48
1566
02:12:06,660 --> 02:12:08,765
You are Abel Parks?
1567
02:12:08,965 --> 02:12:10,412
he won't be coming in here to be no juror!
1568
02:12:10,894 --> 02:12:13,138
I came here to tell you that
1569
02:12:13,207 --> 02:12:15,748
When you're called you got to come,
that's the law
1570
02:12:15,948 --> 02:12:17,037
Not Abel, he's dead!
1571
02:12:17,329 --> 02:12:19,625
hell, I saw him just last week!
1572
02:12:19,825 --> 02:12:20,542
He's dead!
1573
02:12:21,483 --> 02:12:23,967
So he won't be coming in here to be on no jury
1574
02:12:33,380 --> 02:12:36,000
Bailiff,your next prospective juror
1575
02:12:36,200 --> 02:12:37,397
Number 49
1576
02:12:37,597 --> 02:12:40,529
You are five days into jury selection
you've still got nobody
1577
02:12:41,450 --> 02:12:43,500
I'd say that makes things
look pretty good for the other side.
1578
02:12:43,700 --> 02:12:47,615
good for the other side would be a bunch
of Klansmen witness on the stand in line
1579
02:12:47,815 --> 02:12:48,816
That's not happening
1580
02:12:49,783 --> 02:12:52,241
no people are lying because they
don't want to sit in judgment
1581
02:12:52,441 --> 02:12:59,014
I want good people in the jury
doesn't matter so much what they believe now
1582
02:13:00,020 --> 02:13:03,357
if they're honest and just
they'll be swayed by the facts.
1583
02:13:03,557 --> 02:13:05,884
And where we're gonna find
these good people to get on the stand?
1584
02:13:06,084 --> 02:13:08,823
They're scared silly
Stephenson's thugs are all over town
1585
02:13:09,805 --> 02:13:13,318
But people know for sure just
what Stevenson was like
1586
02:13:15,686 --> 02:13:18,950
They might be more willing to
hear our side the case.
1587
02:13:22,869 --> 02:13:30,757
Boyd, if I gave you a copy of Maja's
deathbed statement would you print it?
1588
02:13:30,957 --> 02:13:34,780
Give these folks a chance to read it.
1589
02:13:37,500 --> 02:13:40,874
Son, you learn fast!
1590
02:14:07,519 --> 02:14:10,115
DYING GIRL CHARGES AGAINST STEVE
1591
02:14:17,640 --> 02:14:19,191
How can there be a Klan day without me?
1592
02:14:19,493 --> 02:14:20,975
I didn't order,
I'm the one who orders Klan Day!
1593
02:14:21,602 --> 02:14:24,599
I have just read the text, the girl's
so-called dying declaration
1594
02:14:26,160 --> 02:14:28,817
Come here!
They're up to something, damn it!
1595
02:14:28,841 --> 02:14:30,092
You want to read this statement or not?
1596
02:14:30,683 --> 02:14:33,378
you read it, you take care of it,
you're the best maybe get a mistrial
1597
02:14:34,298 --> 02:14:37,350
Ernie, you tell Billy to get his butt over here,
I want to know what's going on over there!
1598
02:14:37,866 --> 02:14:47,320
Sure thing Steve!
Mr Stevens!
1599
02:14:47,520 --> 02:14:49,148
I'm trying to tell you that they've got no case.
1600
02:14:49,348 --> 02:14:51,082
Henry's basing his prosecution
1601
02:14:51,282 --> 02:14:55,270
on the admission of this document
as a legitimate dying declaration.
1602
02:14:55,620 --> 02:14:56,718
a court will never allow it
1603
02:14:57,031 --> 02:14:57,991
The statement is not allowed
1604
02:14:58,446 --> 02:15:01,301
then there's no evidence to substantiate
any of Miss Oberholtzer accusations
1605
02:15:01,805 --> 02:15:04,647
Is it?
1606
02:15:05,659 --> 02:15:09,152
You people have absolutely no idea what's
really important, do you?
1607
02:15:11,797 --> 02:15:13,230
No idea!
1608
02:15:15,338 --> 02:15:30,368
we do abstain from... and when the Klan announces
a crooked politician..
1609
02:15:32,375 --> 02:15:37,334
and corruption we also declare
allegiance to our members
1610
02:15:37,689 --> 02:15:39,373
in good faith...
1611
02:15:39,573 --> 02:15:43,627
and when we declare the sovereignty
of womanhood
1612
02:15:44,691 --> 02:15:50,574
we do worship our mothers and the fair
womanhood as the true knights we are!
1613
02:15:51,774 --> 02:15:54,343
Let's not forget this
1614
02:15:56,922 --> 02:15:59,444
And he who forgets... suffer!
1615
02:16:09,701 --> 02:16:11,301
Ku Klux Klan!
1616
02:16:15,490 --> 02:16:21,520
Mr. Marsh, do you know anything
about this case?
1617
02:16:21,720 --> 02:16:23,684
Just what I read
1618
02:16:25,118 --> 02:16:27,804
we haven't had a whole lot of
luck finding the jury
1619
02:16:28,769 --> 02:16:30,796
nope but it don't look that way
1620
02:16:32,007 --> 02:16:37,711
we need fair men to listen to this case
and come to a fair decision
1621
02:16:40,689 --> 02:16:45,483
if you were sitting over here could
you be one of those men
1622
02:16:54,603 --> 02:16:56,394
are you going to turn your back
on Madge Oberholtzer?
1623
02:16:57,014 --> 02:16:59,947
or are you going to hear
what she has to say?
1624
02:17:09,305 --> 02:17:13,295
Well I guess someone's got to do it,
might as well be me.
1625
02:17:20,219 --> 02:17:20,952
well gentlemen
1626
02:17:21,873 --> 02:17:23,724
It appears we have our first juror
1627
02:17:25,300 --> 02:17:26,666
hallelujah!
1628
02:17:42,478 --> 02:17:49,524
Well yeah yo mister Oberholtzer
1629
02:17:49,905 --> 02:17:52,628
huh ma'am I would
1630
02:17:52,828 --> 02:17:57,053
I was..we've worked with a trial..
start tomorrow..
1631
02:17:58,018 --> 02:17:59,244
I just want to spend some time with her
1632
02:18:01,789 --> 02:18:03,312
I want to do well for her.
1633
02:18:06,732 --> 02:18:09,390
Nothing on this earth is
more important to me now
1634
02:18:11,920 --> 02:18:15,200
that this man Stevenson be punished
for what he's done,you know that.
1635
02:18:18,309 --> 02:18:23,058
I maybe haven't been as
considerate of your feelings inside honor
1636
02:18:24,357 --> 02:18:26,789
but I was angry about what happened
1637
02:18:29,206 --> 02:18:33,111
it seemed that everybody and
... was bending over to let the Stevenson off
1638
02:18:33,311 --> 02:18:38,921
including giving the prosecution to a
young pup who was way out of his league
1639
02:18:41,640 --> 02:18:42,738
and I was wrong about that
1640
02:18:45,168 --> 02:18:46,699
I think you're doing a fine job son
1641
02:18:49,179 --> 02:18:52,096
I'm glad you think so too
1642
02:19:21,520 --> 02:19:28,606
You do fine, my Madge.
I think you do fine.
1643
02:19:30,040 --> 02:19:31,966
All rise!
1644
02:19:32,166 --> 02:19:40,390
Hear, hear, the State Court
of Indiana is now in session!
1645
02:19:41,402 --> 02:19:43,023
the Honorable Judge William Sparks presiding
1646
02:19:46,223 --> 02:19:49,059
Be seated
1647
02:19:55,942 --> 02:19:57,564
Mr. Henry,
I believe it's your show!
1648
02:20:03,217 --> 02:20:05,715
Mr. Henry!
1649
02:20:08,189 --> 02:20:09,497
You're on!
1650
02:20:25,086 --> 02:20:26,574
this is the biggest case I've ever trialed
1651
02:20:29,078 --> 02:20:30,236
and I got to tell you I'm scared to death
1652
02:20:31,795 --> 02:20:37,150
but like you I'm here because we got a job to do.
1653
02:20:39,530 --> 02:20:40,465
it's going to be hard
1654
02:20:40,665 --> 02:20:43,257
and it's going to take a long time
1655
02:20:45,135 --> 02:20:47,530
but you're men of the land,
you know what work is
1656
02:20:47,730 --> 02:20:50,578
you know that hard work pays off
1657
02:20:51,940 --> 02:20:57,177
that is good, is true and it has value.
1658
02:20:59,283 --> 02:21:00,309
It's pretty good
1659
02:21:00,454 --> 02:21:04,974
now these men over here
1660
02:21:05,174 --> 02:21:09,783
are charged for the murder of
Madge Oberholtzer
1661
02:21:12,380 --> 02:21:14,787
murder
1662
02:21:16,980 --> 02:21:20,086
Now I know you've all read the paper
1663
02:21:20,835 --> 02:21:22,768
and I know you're all thinking
1664
02:21:22,968 --> 02:21:26,705
"murder? didn't that girl kill
herself by taking poison?"
1665
02:21:34,132 --> 02:21:35,274
Damn good!
1666
02:21:35,630 --> 02:21:37,281
Sure she took poison
1667
02:21:38,834 --> 02:21:41,973
she took it after she was atrapped
1668
02:21:44,016 --> 02:21:52,436
drugged kidnapped assaulted and beaten and raped.
1669
02:21:54,044 --> 02:21:59,692
she took it as the culmination
of indignities and brutalities
1670
02:21:59,913 --> 02:22:02,693
unheard of in a civilized community like ours
1671
02:22:05,270 --> 02:22:12,691
she was forced by the loss of
all that any woman holds dear
1672
02:22:14,497 --> 02:22:16,541
To take that poison
as the only means of escape
1673
02:22:18,257 --> 02:22:22,576
and then having taken that poison
was denied all medical aid by these animals.
1674
02:22:22,910 --> 02:22:23,790
objection
1675
02:22:24,056 --> 02:22:25,481
Sustained
1676
02:22:26,412 --> 02:22:30,416
She begged, pleaded for aid
1677
02:22:31,052 --> 02:22:32,108
it was denied
1678
02:22:33,507 --> 02:22:36,146
David Stevenson held her captive
1679
02:22:37,980 --> 02:22:41,039
allowing her wounds to fester,
her body to grow sick
1680
02:22:41,669 --> 02:22:43,750
until finally unalterably
1681
02:22:43,950 --> 02:22:48,252
it was impossible for Madge
Oberholtzer to have survived
1682
02:22:49,982 --> 02:22:53,476
David Stevenson
killed Madge Oberholtzer
1683
02:22:54,665 --> 02:22:58,639
as surely as if he pointed a gun at
her head and pulled the trigger.
1684
02:23:05,249 --> 02:23:06,566
now
1685
02:23:07,759 --> 02:23:11,214
I'll provide witnesses
to establish this chain of events
1686
02:23:11,414 --> 02:23:16,141
but the most telling witness of all
1687
02:23:19,845 --> 02:23:24,614
the only eyewitness to the horror
which she endured
1688
02:23:25,580 --> 02:23:27,629
will be Madge
1689
02:23:28,773 --> 02:23:30,565
Madge will tell you.
1690
02:23:33,495 --> 02:23:35,651
Madge will convince you
1691
02:23:37,441 --> 02:23:43,128
Madge will point her finger at him and
you will do the rest
1692
02:23:47,040 --> 02:23:49,015
thank you
1693
02:23:50,891 --> 02:23:53,317
What's he gonna do,
bring her back from the dead?
1694
02:23:57,942 --> 02:24:00,997
When I arrived Madge was in a state of shock
1695
02:24:03,238 --> 02:24:04,786
her face was pale and bruised
1696
02:24:07,720 --> 02:24:10,916
Her dress was soiled and in unsanitary condition.
1697
02:24:12,162 --> 02:24:13,570
Did she say anything to you?
1698
02:24:15,786 --> 02:24:16,991
she said she thought she would die
1699
02:24:18,560 --> 02:24:20,304
I began a full physical examination
1700
02:24:20,504 --> 02:24:22,601
to check for broken bones as someone had
1701
02:24:22,801 --> 02:24:25,519
said that Madge had been in an automobile accident
1702
02:24:27,252 --> 02:24:28,313
And what did you find?
1703
02:24:29,097 --> 02:24:32,197
Injuries not consistent with
an automobile accident
1704
02:24:33,225 --> 02:24:35,181
Will you describe them?
1705
02:24:37,372 --> 02:24:44,078
there was additional bruising on
her chest breasts ribs abdomen and legs
1706
02:24:46,087 --> 02:24:48,022
considerable lacerations on her breasts
1707
02:24:48,508 --> 02:24:53,309
and abdomen and on her genitalia
1708
02:24:56,507 --> 02:24:58,342
What do you mean by lacerations?
1709
02:24:59,139 --> 02:25:04,012
Tears as if her flesh had been torn gouged
1710
02:25:04,751 --> 02:25:07,612
What do you think caused those wounds?
1711
02:25:09,535 --> 02:25:11,720
Human teeth.
1712
02:25:15,000 --> 02:25:16,052
No further questions
1713
02:25:19,385 --> 02:25:21,089
Mrs Oberholtzer finally admitted to you
1714
02:25:21,447 --> 02:25:24,822
that she had ingest the poison known
as bychloride of mercury, did she not?
1715
02:25:25,022 --> 02:25:26,245
yes she did
1716
02:25:26,543 --> 02:25:28,101
you tell us something about that please?
1717
02:25:28,301 --> 02:25:31,540
well, in small diluted doses by chloride of mercury
1718
02:25:31,740 --> 02:25:37,121
can be used to treat skin rashes
or bacterial infection
1719
02:25:38,182 --> 02:25:42,613
a large amount undiluted will eat
at the internal organs like acid
1720
02:25:43,341 --> 02:25:45,595
that's why her pain was extreme terrible.
1721
02:25:45,871 --> 02:25:49,298
just what did you administer for her pain?
morphine
1722
02:25:51,621 --> 02:25:58,027
miss Oberholtzer was taking morphine the
entire time that you were treating her?
1723
02:25:58,390 --> 02:26:00,287
yes
1724
02:26:00,487 --> 02:26:04,485
Excuse me.I have here a copy of the
1725
02:26:04,685 --> 02:26:10,183
physicians medicinal reference volume 4
1726
02:26:10,897 --> 02:26:16,871
Morphine: a narcotic derived from opium
1727
02:26:17,110 --> 02:26:20,185
producing a feeling of lethargic euphoria
1728
02:26:21,793 --> 02:26:25,393
and in some cases hallucination
and extreme suggestibility"
1729
02:26:29,879 --> 02:26:33,381
Dr. it seems to me that
if this poor girl were
1730
02:26:33,581 --> 02:26:37,783
under the influence such a
powerful drug as morphine
1731
02:26:40,257 --> 02:26:44,479
we can't believe a single
thing she might have said!
1732
02:26:44,810 --> 02:26:49,005
Can we?
1733
02:26:51,358 --> 02:26:53,893
State your name and
your occupation if you would, sir.
1734
02:26:54,093 --> 02:26:54,884
Levi Thomas
1735
02:26:55,084 --> 02:26:59,683
I'm the Pullman Porter on a hook
of my car out of Indianapolis.
1736
02:27:01,132 --> 02:27:05,060
Mr. Thomas, do you recognize anyone in this room?
1737
02:27:05,260 --> 02:27:06,770
yes sir
1738
02:27:08,779 --> 02:27:12,360
Him and him. I don't recognize the other fellow.
1739
02:27:13,883 --> 02:27:14,590
Let the record show that
1740
02:27:14,790 --> 02:27:19,193
Mr. Thomas pointed at mr. Stevenson and mr.Gentry.
1741
02:27:19,393 --> 02:27:22,729
How'd you come to know them sir?
1742
02:27:22,929 --> 02:27:27,556
Is a nice car, only four swich to a car.
1743
02:27:30,345 --> 02:27:35,744
One Sunday night which was the 15th,
those two and a young lady
1744
02:27:36,146 --> 02:27:40,430
ordered and locked themselves in his
suite until the next morning.
1745
02:27:42,431 --> 02:27:43,773
What happened that next morning?
1746
02:27:45,759 --> 02:27:48,464
They got up early I guess, cause
it was getting off at Hammond
1747
02:27:49,922 --> 02:27:51,437
so I went in to make the bed
1748
02:27:56,621 --> 02:27:57,933
Good morning.
1749
02:27:59,133 --> 02:28:00,718
You think you, gentleman
and the lady would like
1750
02:28:00,918 --> 02:28:03,393
a nice cool glass of orange juice
when you start your day?
1751
02:28:03,593 --> 02:28:06,675
We're going to get nob at Hammond
so don't be wearing about any orange juice.
1752
02:28:08,819 --> 02:28:11,467
The lady in there has a rough night
1753
02:28:23,950 --> 02:28:26,668
The doctor is back in D car
1754
02:28:27,184 --> 02:28:29,024
All right, nigger, come on get your ass out of here
1755
02:28:33,175 --> 02:28:37,699
Hey boy, you run up ahead and you make
sure this train stops at Hammond
1756
02:28:40,707 --> 02:28:41,727
right here look, here you go
1757
02:28:41,927 --> 02:28:45,059
Buy something for your woman on me
1758
02:28:56,354 --> 02:28:58,979
When Madge had that bad time
1759
02:28:59,031 --> 02:29:02,349
did mr. Stevenson or mr Gentry check on her?
1760
02:29:03,489 --> 02:29:06,319
They didn't move a muscle.
1761
02:29:08,229 --> 02:29:10,454
What happened then?
1762
02:29:10,654 --> 02:29:13,140
well after they left the train
I went back into the suite
1763
02:29:13,954 --> 02:29:17,414
both kind of nosy, you know
1764
02:29:17,614 --> 02:29:24,772
so I went into the lavatory...
blood all over the place
1765
02:29:24,972 --> 02:29:29,929
so much blood and that trash!
1766
02:29:30,129 --> 02:29:32,241
didn't bother to clean it up
1767
02:29:36,720 --> 02:29:39,476
No further questions, your honor.
1768
02:29:44,652 --> 02:29:47,788
Thomas did you see miss
Oberholtzer board the train?
1769
02:29:47,988 --> 02:29:49,578
yes I did
1770
02:29:49,778 --> 02:29:52,644
Did she call out there for help?
No sir,she didn't.
1771
02:29:53,601 --> 02:29:56,226
how about in Hammond trade
stock did she call out that day?
1772
02:29:56,558 --> 02:29:57,563
No, sir.
1773
02:29:57,871 --> 02:30:00,473
Did she call out for the other
porter to the Pullman, anyway?
1774
02:30:00,673 --> 02:30:02,096
Not that I know of
1775
02:30:02,646 --> 02:30:03,142
No, sir
1776
02:30:03,342 --> 02:30:07,453
Didn't that lead you to
believe that she didn't want help?
1777
02:30:08,712 --> 02:30:12,168
Maybe miss Oberholtzer was exactly
where she wanted to be
1778
02:30:12,368 --> 02:30:14,078
voluntarily
1779
02:30:14,993 --> 02:30:16,614
I guess you could say that's
what it matter
1780
02:30:18,243 --> 02:30:21,202
but if he showed you that
gun with that look in his...
1781
02:30:21,207 --> 02:30:22,887
That's all your honor, no further questions.
1782
02:30:24,992 --> 02:30:26,853
Quiet, please
1783
02:30:28,612 --> 02:30:30,109
Thank You mr. Thomas
1784
02:30:30,854 --> 02:30:32,043
Dismissed
1785
02:30:58,595 --> 02:30:59,669
Put them on the front page
1786
02:30:59,869 --> 02:31:01,047
Put extra 400,000 copies!
1787
02:31:02,059 --> 02:31:02,802
I want to crucify him!
1788
02:31:03,002 --> 02:31:06,807
if you sit here and listen to what that monster did to
her you volunteered pull his nails!
1789
02:31:07,556 --> 02:31:08,505
Now print it!
1790
02:31:08,705 --> 02:31:11,749
miss Harris
1791
02:31:12,140 --> 02:31:19,773
Were you in Madge Oberholtzer's bedroom
during the time of her demise?
1792
02:31:20,833 --> 02:31:23,699
Yes
Had you spent much time with her?
1793
02:31:24,916 --> 02:31:27,882
That last month while she lay dying?
Yes
1794
02:31:30,156 --> 02:31:30,964
why?
1795
02:31:31,070 --> 02:31:33,235
Well, we were friends for one.
1796
02:31:39,953 --> 02:31:42,366
mm-hmm but also we needed to know
what had happened to Madge.
1797
02:31:42,566 --> 02:31:45,938
it was a little
easier for to talk with me there
1798
02:31:48,679 --> 02:31:50,014
She told you what happened to her?
1799
02:31:50,641 --> 02:31:53,814
yes. Madge thought that she was dying
1800
02:31:55,042 --> 02:32:02,028
so we, you, I and Madge said about producing a written
account of what had happened to her
1801
02:32:02,644 --> 02:32:06,687
Would you mind telling us how that worked?
1802
02:32:10,960 --> 02:32:15,650
well Madge told us what happened
1803
02:32:15,850 --> 02:32:22,530
I wrote it down and then you
transcribed my notes
1804
02:32:25,333 --> 02:32:28,574
Is this the statement to which
you've been referring?
1805
02:32:28,939 --> 02:32:29,827
objection your honor
1806
02:32:30,144 --> 02:32:34,096
Mr. Henry is trying to enter this document into the record
as legitimate testimony and it is not!
1807
02:32:34,954 --> 02:32:37,489
A dying declaration is
legally recognized testimony
1808
02:32:37,689 --> 02:32:39,667
But this is not a dying declaration
1809
02:32:40,640 --> 02:32:42,936
a person must have
accepted death completely
1810
02:32:43,136 --> 02:32:46,286
before a statement can be
considered a dying declaration
1811
02:32:46,925 --> 02:32:50,487
and this is young woman was being treated by
physicians for a period of weeks
1812
02:32:51,266 --> 02:32:53,478
She did everything she possibly could
1813
02:32:53,646 --> 02:32:56,072
not to accept the inevitability of her death
1814
02:32:57,257 --> 02:33:00,777
well you don't know huh you
don't live with her pain!
1815
02:33:01,718 --> 02:33:02,027
you didn't steer her long
1816
02:33:02,227 --> 02:33:04,307
you didn't clean up the blood out!
1817
02:33:06,923 --> 02:33:08,699
Mr Oberholtzer, please
1818
02:33:08,899 --> 02:33:11,611
Gentlemen I want quiet!
1819
02:33:11,811 --> 02:33:15,898
I'll have order in this
court or I'll clear this room!
1820
02:33:17,804 --> 02:33:18,456
Your Honor
1821
02:33:18,656 --> 02:33:24,690
I'd like to publicly apologize if I said anything
at all to exacerbate the Oberholtzers' grief
1822
02:33:26,329 --> 02:33:29,289
but this document is not the story of a murder
1823
02:33:29,859 --> 02:33:34,360
it's simply a recounting of
incidents perhaps accurate perhaps not
1824
02:33:35,005 --> 02:33:37,560
leading up to this poor girl's suicide
1825
02:33:37,760 --> 02:33:43,302
and if Madge overall to suicide is the
result of actions by David Stevenson
1826
02:33:43,502 --> 02:33:45,509
What better source of information do we have?
1827
02:33:45,886 --> 02:33:48,188
if this statement is Patrick Your Honor
1828
02:33:48,948 --> 02:33:50,127
if this statement is hers
1829
02:33:50,923 --> 02:33:52,575
and not embellished by others
1830
02:33:52,775 --> 02:33:56,738
if this statement was made by someone
in full control of her faculties
1831
02:33:56,938 --> 02:34:01,063
and not under the haze of
an opium induced hallucination
1832
02:34:01,941 --> 02:34:02,639
if if..
1833
02:34:05,559 --> 02:34:09,255
This piece of paper is all that
is left of Madge Oberholtzer
1834
02:34:09,710 --> 02:34:14,827
she will never marry, she will never bear children because
those things have been taken away from her.
1835
02:34:16,678 --> 02:34:20,675
This is her voice it is the only way
she has of telling us what happened
1836
02:34:23,065 --> 02:34:24,567
Don't take that away from her too!
1837
02:34:30,930 --> 02:34:32,289
Gentlemen,
1838
02:34:34,489 --> 02:34:39,011
I'll have to give this
point some consideration
1839
02:34:45,380 --> 02:34:46,698
The more we dig, the crazier it gets
1840
02:34:47,383 --> 02:34:50,083
Stevenson began his political career
as a socialist in Oklahoma
1841
02:34:50,872 --> 02:34:52,889
tried to get into Congress as a Democrat
1842
02:34:52,932 --> 02:34:55,079
failing that became a Republican
Whatever works, huh?
1843
02:34:56,122 --> 02:34:57,810
it's just been a brawl at the Klan
frayed new comers
1844
02:34:58,010 --> 02:35:00,470
so..
1845
02:35:00,670 --> 02:35:02,148
Talk to Stoney before you write it
1846
02:35:02,371 --> 02:35:03,132
why?
1847
02:35:03,332 --> 02:35:05,330
Three guys in Wilmette drove a truck
into a burning cross to knock it down
1848
02:35:05,530 --> 02:35:07,884
Stoney's got that story and four others just like it
1849
02:35:08,084 --> 02:35:12,102
Sounds to me like the seeds
of a full-blown rebellion against the Klan!
1850
02:35:13,703 --> 02:35:15,378
Sounds to me like some hot Heads popping off
1851
02:35:16,045 --> 02:35:17,377
It'll take more than that to stop the Klan.
1852
02:35:18,402 --> 02:35:20,155
and if Stephenson walks we are finished
1853
02:35:20,917 --> 02:35:22,215
and his Klan will be stronger
than ever
1854
02:35:28,479 --> 02:35:35,026
Mr. Inman mr. Henry, you approach the bench.
1855
02:35:42,715 --> 02:35:46,865
I'd given great thought to whether I
should allow Miss oberholser statement
1856
02:35:47,065 --> 02:35:49,266
to be admitted into these proceedings.
1857
02:35:49,466 --> 02:35:52,147
and uh there may indeed be doubt mr.Inman
1858
02:35:52,615 --> 02:35:57,892
as to whether or not Madge Overholser
believed she was certain to die
1859
02:35:58,092 --> 02:36:00,275
but that's something I'm going
to leave for the jury to decide
1860
02:36:00,475 --> 02:36:04,038
I'm going to allow Madge
Oberholtzer statement to be admitted as evidence
1861
02:36:04,459 --> 02:36:05,438
Your honor
1862
02:36:05,638 --> 02:36:07,479
I can't cross-examine a document
1863
02:36:07,679 --> 02:36:10,221
I know you can't cross-examine the document
1864
02:36:11,094 --> 02:36:13,142
but the jury to decide whether
or not they believe it
1865
02:36:14,027 --> 02:36:15,792
let's leave it at that, mr Inman
1866
02:36:16,549 --> 02:36:18,913
Call your next witness
1867
02:36:28,771 --> 02:36:31,711
Dr. Bowman, what killed Madge Oberholtzer?
1868
02:36:31,911 --> 02:36:35,752
well technically nephritis of the kidneys
brought on by the by chloride poisoning
1869
02:36:35,952 --> 02:36:39,178
I want you to think carefully
about this before answer me, doctor
1870
02:36:39,530 --> 02:36:43,114
After Madge Oberholtzer alone in a room
1871
02:36:43,808 --> 02:36:46,923
by her own hand took
the Bychloride of mercury tablets
1872
02:36:47,123 --> 02:36:48,712
could she have been saved?
1873
02:36:49,239 --> 02:36:51,927
impossible three gramms is
considered a lethal dose
1874
02:36:52,127 --> 02:36:55,018
Miss Oberholtzer ingested
four times that amount
1875
02:36:55,904 --> 02:37:01,337
so there was nothing David Stevenson
could've done to save it
1876
02:37:01,556 --> 02:37:03,697
That's right.Even if that day they
rushed immediately to the nearest hospital
1877
02:37:04,213 --> 02:37:07,940
Absolutely nothing
1878
02:37:08,140 --> 02:37:10,832
Your witness
1879
02:37:14,882 --> 02:37:17,703
you said the lethal dose is three gramms,
1880
02:37:17,903 --> 02:37:22,719
does that mean three grams in her
blood moving through her system?
1881
02:37:23,052 --> 02:37:24,029
three grams in her system
1882
02:37:24,229 --> 02:37:27,279
Madge Oberholtzer threw up repeatedly
1883
02:37:29,298 --> 02:37:31,639
Wouldn't that have flushed much
of the poison from her stomach?
1884
02:37:32,394 --> 02:37:33,804
well,perhaps
1885
02:37:34,025 --> 02:37:36,210
so that in fact maybe there was
only a marginal dose
1886
02:37:36,538 --> 02:37:38,984
a survivable dose
if she had received immediate attention
1887
02:37:39,924 --> 02:37:45,177
But she didn't,doctor
1888
02:37:45,377 --> 02:37:48,530
Listen to Madge Oberholtzer's words
1889
02:37:48,730 --> 02:37:49,991
help me oh my
1890
02:37:50,885 --> 02:37:54,851
God what the hell happened?
1891
02:37:55,051 --> 02:37:56,043
Gentry!
1892
02:37:57,076 --> 02:38:02,695
I took poison
That's crazy
1893
02:38:02,895 --> 02:38:05,070
yes crazy, you didn't take poison
1894
02:38:05,270 --> 02:38:08,264
what'd you do?
stabbed yourself?
1895
02:38:09,224 --> 02:38:13,712
Backroom poison
God, it hurts!
1896
02:38:13,912 --> 02:38:16,344
I'll get the doctor
Don't get the doctor!
1897
02:38:16,773 --> 02:38:20,361
Steve she needs help!
Take her back to Indianapolis
1898
02:38:22,120 --> 02:38:25,790
it's a 14 hour drive!
1899
02:38:25,990 --> 02:38:33,165
"All the way back to Indianapolis
I suffered great agony
1900
02:38:33,365 --> 02:38:40,149
and screamed for a doctor
but they refused to stop"
1901
02:38:51,979 --> 02:38:55,030
what do you want us to do with
assertion we call a doctor?
1902
02:38:55,483 --> 02:38:57,323
Put her in the carriage and clean up this car
1903
02:38:59,604 --> 02:39:00,541
You can't just leave her!
1904
02:39:00,741 --> 02:39:02,865
Put her there in a carriage
house and clean up the car
1905
02:39:03,065 --> 02:39:05,163
how you think you could
figure out that much for yourself!
1906
02:39:08,194 --> 02:39:11,327
She just mess blood all over the place!
1907
02:39:11,527 --> 02:39:13,421
Takes real guts to do this, Gentry
1908
02:39:14,614 --> 02:39:17,720
Only the old man has guts like this.
1909
02:39:17,920 --> 02:39:19,170
You boys remember that!
1910
02:39:29,393 --> 02:39:34,743
"it takes real guts to do this, Gentry"
1911
02:39:34,943 --> 02:39:38,140
and that's where they left her, doctor
1912
02:39:38,340 --> 02:39:43,451
in the basement for two days and two nights
1913
02:39:44,005 --> 02:39:48,690
alone, the bychloride of mercury
eating away at her like acid
1914
02:39:48,890 --> 02:39:52,513
" it takes real guts
to do this Gentry"
1915
02:39:58,950 --> 02:40:01,912
with proper medical care if she
had not been held captive
1916
02:40:03,258 --> 02:40:07,987
if her body had not
been bitten and beaten and abused
1917
02:40:10,675 --> 02:40:12,526
she would be here today,wouldn't she doctor?
1918
02:40:12,726 --> 02:40:15,520
that's difficult..
1919
02:40:15,776 --> 02:40:16,816
no, she could not have survived.
1920
02:40:18,762 --> 02:40:21,239
you're David Stevenson's
personal physician, are you not?
1921
02:40:21,439 --> 02:40:23,462
That's a matter of record, yes sir.
1922
02:40:24,316 --> 02:40:26,737
I'm also the leading authority
on the fright us in this state
1923
02:40:26,937 --> 02:40:31,762
What sort of illnesses has mr.
Stevenson been plagued by?
1924
02:40:32,050 --> 02:40:33,021
Objection
Not relevant
1925
02:40:33,420 --> 02:40:37,069
Your honor,I'm attempting to demonstrate that
the witness is an intimate of the defendant.
1926
02:40:37,269 --> 02:40:40,964
Overruled
what have you treated him for?
1927
02:40:41,164 --> 02:40:45,866
Colds, flu, bout of gastritis once.
1928
02:40:46,221 --> 02:40:46,459
Nothing else?
1929
02:40:46,659 --> 02:40:50,008
you've never treated or prescribed for mr.
Stevenson for anything more serious?
1930
02:40:50,810 --> 02:40:52,313
No.
what's he doing?
1931
02:40:53,185 --> 02:40:54,439
I think he's faking it out
1932
02:40:55,921 --> 02:40:57,864
God is listening doctor!
what you mean?
1933
02:40:58,710 --> 02:41:01,315
I have two witnesses who will testify
1934
02:41:01,515 --> 02:41:06,884
that you treated David Stevenson for delirium
tremens brought on by the overuse of alcohol!
1935
02:41:08,559 --> 02:41:10,182
does he? now now under oath did
1936
02:41:11,466 --> 02:41:15,938
you ever treat David Stevenson for alcoholism
1937
02:41:20,062 --> 02:41:22,283
Not for alcoholism alone...
1938
02:41:22,595 --> 02:41:28,752
You mean to tell me that the Grand Dragon of
the Ku Klux Klan, the great abstainer is a drunk?
1939
02:41:45,403 --> 02:41:47,404
Quiet in the courtroom!
WE'll have to put you in the stand tomorrow
1940
02:41:48,518 --> 02:41:49,577
first witness
1941
02:41:50,985 --> 02:41:55,242
No.
The admission of Madge's statement hurts us
1942
02:41:57,241 --> 02:41:58,693
I know I told you I was saving
you for the end
1943
02:41:59,051 --> 02:42:00,110
but you're going to have to face them now
1944
02:42:00,310 --> 02:42:07,538
You're going to have to refute every
claim the girl made
1945
02:42:07,738 --> 02:42:13,620
Sir, no. There have been death threats
have to be careful
1946
02:42:13,969 --> 02:42:15,220
oh come on now, what death threats?
1947
02:42:15,420 --> 02:42:16,527

1948
02:42:19,537 --> 02:42:22,530
listen now I need you
on that stand tomorrow
1949
02:42:24,043 --> 02:42:28,131

1950
02:42:28,461 --> 02:42:29,953
you forget me on the stand
1951
02:42:38,521 --> 02:42:42,170
Ernie!
Ernie give me...
1952
02:42:46,465 --> 02:42:48,369
Papers from Washington to San Francisco
1953
02:42:48,569 --> 02:42:51,302
are taking an increasing
stance against the knighthood
1954
02:42:51,628 --> 02:42:55,058
look Edmund will launch a strong defense in
McCullum's
1955
02:42:55,588 --> 02:43:00,771
by the stephenson wins and losses is
no longer the question, people are turning against us,
1956
02:43:00,971 --> 02:43:02,130
we need to protect what we've
gained before it's too late
1957
02:43:02,330 --> 02:43:05,826
I move with separate ourselves from this mess
1958
02:43:08,721 --> 02:43:11,268
There's a motion on the table
how say you?
1959
02:43:15,330 --> 02:43:21,326
Aye. So carry.
1960
02:43:31,408 --> 02:43:34,021
Steve
You get through to Atlanta?
1961
02:43:34,221 --> 02:43:36,820
You're okay?
1962
02:43:40,546 --> 02:43:46,254
Atlanta yeah I even talked to mr. Evans
1963
02:43:49,088 --> 02:43:52,052
where's the phone?
1964
02:43:52,440 --> 02:43:53,770
He said he wouldn't speak to you Steve
1965
02:43:56,668 --> 02:44:00,095
he said for you to read the latest cross
1966
02:44:06,855 --> 02:44:10,600
it was a Rome burnin in Texas
1967
02:44:10,800 --> 02:44:14,705
60 Klansmen burned their robes
and said the Klan was a fraud
1968
02:44:17,339 --> 02:44:19,339
March in Virginia was stoned
1969
02:44:22,312 --> 02:44:24,917
bunch of Marines broke up a
clever meeting organ
1970
02:44:27,022 --> 02:44:31,127
that an article in tears about me
Steve..
1971
02:44:31,420 --> 02:44:33,110
It's against you
1972
02:44:52,471 --> 02:44:55,010
I'm gonna win this one, Arnie
1973
02:44:55,210 --> 02:45:02,927
and we get a mom

1974
02:45:03,127 --> 02:45:06,023

02:45:08,007 --> 02:45:09,726
would you tell
us your name and occupation please.
1976
02:45:10,551 --> 02:45:12,335
mrs. Charles, householder
1977
02:45:14,072 --> 02:45:19,141
I'm a wife and a mother of four children
1978
02:45:19,341 --> 02:45:21,825
Mrs Householder, I have here a copy
1979
02:45:22,025 --> 02:45:24,492
of Madge Oberholtzer so-called "deathbed statement"
1980
02:45:24,692 --> 02:45:28,971
the one that mr. Henry maneuvered so
cleverly to have admitted it
1981
02:45:30,750 --> 02:45:31,740
Have you read it?
1982
02:45:31,940 --> 02:45:33,210
yes sir
1983
02:45:34,175 --> 02:45:36,408
Mr. Henry tells us that
the entire relationship
1984
02:45:36,608 --> 02:45:39,568
between mr. Stevenson and Miss
Oberholtzer is outlined here.
1985
02:45:40,205 --> 02:45:41,560
everything every time they had dinner
1986
02:45:41,760 --> 02:45:43,951
at a time
every time they saw each other.
1987
02:45:44,901 --> 02:45:46,867
Is that true?
Is this record complete?
1988
02:45:48,221 --> 02:45:50,750
No sir.
Oh?
1989
02:45:50,950 --> 02:45:52,852
Which is missing?
what's not here?
1990
02:45:53,431 --> 02:45:57,580
well I saw mr. Stevenson
and the Oberholtzer woman
1991
02:45:57,780 --> 02:46:01,634
together two times that weren't mentioned in there
1992
02:46:01,834 --> 02:46:03,123
Exactly two?
1993
02:46:03,323 --> 02:46:05,270
How can you be sure it's 2, not 1 or 3?
1994
02:46:05,470 --> 02:46:08,005
Because they were with my husband two times
1995
02:46:08,450 --> 02:46:11,691
Mrs householder how do you know
these things?
1996
02:46:14,150 --> 02:46:16,845
I was I was following my husband because
1997
02:46:17,045 --> 02:46:22,695
he and Madge Overholser were sleeping
together
1998
02:46:28,007 --> 02:46:30,950
I asked her to stay away from Charlie
1999
02:46:31,008 --> 02:46:34,212
I told her that he had a family
2000
02:46:34,800 --> 02:46:38,159
I begged her, slept that she didn't care
2001
02:46:38,580 --> 02:46:39,654
objection your honor said that is a
2002
02:46:39,854 --> 02:46:41,647
direct attack on the character
of Madge Oberholtzer sir,it has no place here!
2003
02:46:41,847 --> 02:46:45,518
when you decided to admit
miss Oberholtzer statement
2004
02:46:45,718 --> 02:46:47,385
your honor you said that the
jury needed to determine
2005
02:46:47,585 --> 02:46:49,060
how far a woman might
go to defend her virtue
2006
02:46:50,260 --> 02:46:53,276
Fair enough. Then I must have the
right to question mrs Pritchard
2007
02:46:57,198 --> 02:47:00,563
Madge overall his character is not on trial
of course it is!
2008
02:47:02,207 --> 02:47:03,135
if you contend she took the poison
2009
02:47:03,335 --> 02:47:05,807
because she lost her virtue
2010
02:47:06,007 --> 02:47:08,568
then we need to know if she really did lose it
2011
02:47:08,743 --> 02:47:11,329
maybe she didn't maybe maybe...
there was nothing there to lose
2012
02:47:35,773 --> 02:47:39,587
mr. Evan I'm really good strike mrs
Householder touch them all day
2013
02:47:39,787 --> 02:47:41,683
that miss Oberholtzer was sleeping
with her husband
2014
02:47:41,883 --> 02:47:44,998
is not danger main to the issues
to be decided here
2015
02:47:45,198 --> 02:47:48,306
I like an exception
to your ruling entered into the record
2016
02:47:48,506 --> 02:47:50,890
Your exception will also be entered
2017
02:47:51,090 --> 02:47:52,990
well,I warned you sir I will allow no
2018
02:47:53,190 --> 02:47:56,700
testimony that is a direct character
attack on Miss Oberholtzer
2019
02:47:57,000 --> 02:48:01,738
Now let's get back out there
and act like we know what we're doing
2020
02:48:01,938 --> 02:48:05,371
it's not over yet, son
2021
02:48:11,038 --> 02:48:14,296
State your name, occupation
and place of birth if you would, please
2022
02:48:14,496 --> 02:48:19,063
clive woods. I'm a deputy sheriff of state Indiana
2023
02:48:19,687 --> 02:48:20,978
and I was born here in Noblesville
2024
02:48:26,193 --> 02:48:27,763
I was waiting to meet you
for a long time mr. Woods
2025
02:48:29,640 --> 02:48:31,116
Describe your war record, please
2026
02:48:31,316 --> 02:48:36,613
Navy Cross, Silver Star, Bronze
Star with clusters
2027
02:48:37,791 --> 02:48:38,704
three purple hearts
2028
02:48:39,077 --> 02:48:40,031
and the ill de France mark
2029
02:48:43,920 --> 02:48:44,570
right impression
2030
02:48:46,887 --> 02:48:51,146
Since Madge Oberholtzer' says purported
statement has been entered into the record
2031
02:48:52,991 --> 02:48:54,943
I like to read something from it
2032
02:48:55,143 --> 02:48:58,960
a man by the name of clink put
my clothes on me
2033
02:48:59,160 --> 02:49:00,860
and carry me down to the car
drove the car to my home
2034
02:49:02,004 --> 02:49:04,146
told me to tell everyone that
I've been in a traffic accident
2035
02:49:05,425 --> 02:49:08,802
it was about noon on Tuesday
the 17th when we got to the house
2036
02:49:11,356 --> 02:49:13,723
what were you doing in the 17th, Clive?
2037
02:49:14,454 --> 02:49:18,967
I was transferring prisoners from a County
work farm to a road crew up back Castle Rock
2038
02:49:21,666 --> 02:49:24,751
what about her and Clink?
You're assistant
2039
02:49:24,951 --> 02:49:27,786
At noon on 17th
her and Clink was at me
2040
02:49:31,129 --> 02:49:35,846
But miss Oberholtzer statement says that
clink was with her at noon on the 17th
2041
02:49:36,931 --> 02:49:38,279
well she must have been mistaken sir
2042
02:49:40,181 --> 02:49:43,976
yes, you must have been easy to understand
was what we know about morphine
2043
02:49:44,176 --> 02:49:49,319
I just wonder what else in
her statement is mistaken
2044
02:50:04,052 --> 02:50:07,329
we need to put together a list of character,
witnesses people who knew Madge
2045
02:50:09,131 --> 02:50:09,852
like who
2046
02:50:10,489 --> 02:50:12,637
friends neighbors anyone will say something good
2047
02:50:13,050 --> 02:50:15,039
The more people are set up
there and say "Madge is honest"
2048
02:50:15,844 --> 02:50:17,785
the better shot will have a convincing the jury
2049
02:50:18,450 --> 02:50:19,832
that the Household woman is a put-up job
2050
02:50:20,032 --> 02:50:23,535
People talk like we're
gonna have to find people to lie
2051
02:50:24,168 --> 02:50:26,985
No one means that, Mandy!
You should hear yourselves!
2052
02:50:27,934 --> 02:50:29,670
No one has come on most things
2053
02:50:30,395 --> 02:50:33,931
that were said
those things were lies!
2054
02:50:35,851 --> 02:50:37,136
you want paper?
2055
02:50:37,336 --> 02:50:39,126
here, pencil to write the names down
2056
02:50:39,326 --> 02:50:42,496
I can fill a table with people
who will speak up to my girl!
2057
02:50:46,399 --> 02:50:49,262
We got to attacked Clive Woods, too.
2058
02:50:54,796 --> 02:50:58,194
Mrs. Household said the Madge's
statement was incomplete.
2059
02:50:58,394 --> 02:51:00,288
Woods flat out said it was wrong
2060
02:51:01,948 --> 02:51:04,401
Now I got to prove Woods is lying.
2061
02:51:05,705 --> 02:51:09,637
Now maybe judge Sparks would give us half data
look into it
2062
02:51:09,837 --> 02:51:12,948
What the hell do we need a recess for?
2063
02:51:13,148 --> 02:51:16,239
Isn't your office just look into it?
2064
02:51:16,531 --> 02:51:19,375
There's no budget for an investigator.
2065
02:51:19,575 --> 02:51:21,482
twelves beenadding his own money
to the prosecution fund
2066
02:51:24,830 --> 02:51:26,858
That's just paperwork and I and I...
I don't want you to worry about it
2067
02:51:28,055 --> 02:51:32,414
I just uh... I'll let you
know when I had something.
2068
02:51:37,040 --> 02:51:38,452
Gas money...
I don't
2069
02:52:14,370 --> 02:52:18,193
Hi, my name is Quayle Henry
2070
02:52:18,954 --> 02:52:20,567
County prosecutor
2071
02:52:27,222 --> 02:52:28,271
I don't know I don't think any of us have met
2072
02:52:32,967 --> 02:52:37,271
Some of you men were transferred from the jail
to work farm last March on the 17th
2073
02:52:40,297 --> 02:52:45,820
I want to know if this was one of the guard
2074
02:52:46,565 --> 02:53:00,341
All the one go
I drove the truck oh wait cough
2075
02:53:01,392 --> 02:53:02,233
are you sure
2076
02:53:03,398 --> 02:53:07,898
I mean you didn't see any other guards,
or hear another name a garden
2077
02:53:15,098 --> 02:53:16,143
you be willing to testify to that?
2078
02:53:17,989 --> 02:53:19,031
Why are we wanting to help you?
2079
02:53:20,014 --> 02:53:24,286
because I'm prosecuting David Stevenson,
head of the Ku Klux Klan
2080
02:53:47,580 --> 02:53:51,190
You can't put two black
2081
02:53:51,390 --> 02:53:54,588
convicts understand to contradict Clive Woods
2082
02:53:54,788 --> 02:53:56,892
On 17 they've never seen Clive
2083
02:53:57,476 --> 02:53:58,777
They said Clive would wasn't even around.
2084
02:53:58,977 --> 02:54:00,572
Clive Woods is a hero!
2085
02:54:01,711 --> 02:54:04,674
These men are criminals and they're colored
2086
02:54:05,692 --> 02:54:06,781
You'll get laughed out of the state!
2087
02:54:06,981 --> 02:54:10,076
look even doesn't character witnesses,
why don't you go with them first?
2088
02:54:11,226 --> 02:54:12,132
if they can convince the jury
2089
02:54:12,332 --> 02:54:15,428
of Madge's purity maybe
you won't have to use these guys!
2090
02:54:18,127 --> 02:54:22,390
All rise
state court of Indiana is now in session
2091
02:54:22,952 --> 02:54:24,606
the Honorable Judge William Sparks presiding
2092
02:54:26,420 --> 02:54:27,704
Be seated
2093
02:54:32,181 --> 02:54:35,570
Mr. Henry call your next witness
2094
02:54:36,028 --> 02:54:37,148
Mrs. Eunice Hopes.
2095
02:54:37,348 --> 02:54:41,142
I live across the street from
the Oberholtzer, in Irvington.
2096
02:54:42,837 --> 02:54:44,262
And you know Madge a long time
2097
02:54:45,012 --> 02:54:47,071
Oh Lord more than 20 years
2098
02:54:47,957 --> 02:54:52,023
Would you described Madge as a young
woman with the sound moral character
2099
02:54:53,248 --> 02:54:53,723
Your Honor
2100
02:54:54,611 --> 02:54:56,681
counsel is addressing the
character of a dead person
2101
02:54:56,881 --> 02:54:59,064
when that person character
is not the call of the question!
2102
02:54:59,768 --> 02:55:01,525
The defense did attack Madge
Oberholtzer, your honor.
2103
02:55:01,850 --> 02:55:04,953
They produced a witness who claimed
that Madge carried on with men,
2104
02:55:05,153 --> 02:55:07,034
who clearly implied that she's a liar.
2105
02:55:07,444 --> 02:55:09,268
That testimony was struck mister Henry.
2106
02:55:09,825 --> 02:55:11,013
The jury heard it, Your Honor
2107
02:55:11,213 --> 02:55:14,301
if mr. Henry wants to venture into the character
Your Honor it's alright for me.
2108
02:55:14,501 --> 02:55:18,650
I can fill this court with witnesses of my own!
2109
02:55:18,862 --> 02:55:19,839
Hey, liar!
2110
02:55:21,036 --> 02:55:22,677
Quiet!
2111
02:55:25,320 --> 02:55:30,292
Mr. Henry I cannot allow you to
produce witnesses of this nature!
2112
02:55:30,875 --> 02:55:32,348
The law will not allow it!
witness dismissed
2113
02:55:32,548 --> 02:55:35,119
Now let's finish up and get out of here
2114
02:55:35,501 --> 02:55:36,602
it's been a hell of a long trial
2115
02:55:37,309 --> 02:55:38,932
You have then another witness?
2116
02:55:39,029 --> 02:55:40,229
Yes, sir.
Call him
2117
02:55:47,600 --> 02:55:55,659
the state would like to call
Pete majors as its final witness
2118
02:56:02,208 --> 02:56:03,126
All right, settle down!
2119
02:56:13,720 --> 02:56:18,355
Half of these good folks are already in the Klan
2120
02:56:18,555 --> 02:56:22,840
All we got going for you using big trouble
2121
02:56:38,234 --> 02:56:38,791
Hey Boyd!
2122
02:56:38,991 --> 02:56:42,796
I'm not supposed to be here
I supposed to be running the paper
2123
02:56:42,996 --> 02:56:44,341
I heard the jury's still out
2124
02:56:44,541 --> 02:56:49,246
Young Henry have a chance?
Inman was very good today.
2125
02:56:49,446 --> 02:56:52,608
..yeah I heard that too
2126
02:56:52,808 --> 02:56:54,651
Either way I thought you'd like to see these
2127
02:56:54,851 --> 02:56:56,840
Why are these service copy?
2128
02:56:57,040 --> 02:56:59,323
from Portland,Cincinnati Sacramento all over the place!
2129
02:56:59,927 --> 02:57:01,521
People are telling the Klan to take a hike
2130
02:57:01,721 --> 02:57:04,854
folks over in Ohio are even talking
about an anti mask law
2131
02:57:05,130 --> 02:57:06,300
And?
2132
02:57:06,500 --> 02:57:08,668
People are starting to see
the truth about the Klan
2133
02:57:09,727 --> 02:57:12,820
So win or lose...maybe what
happened here meant something
2134
02:58:00,320 --> 02:58:03,720
Jury's been out five hours
2135
02:58:05,920 --> 02:58:07,685
You've done your best, son and we appreciate that
2136
02:58:09,706 --> 02:58:11,128
I gave them the truth mr. Oberholtzer.
2137
02:58:12,250 --> 02:58:13,783
You think they heard it?
2138
02:58:16,699 --> 02:58:18,090
Are there any questions
or have you come to a decision?
2139
02:58:19,130 --> 02:58:20,337
No questions, your honor
2140
02:58:20,574 --> 02:58:21,822
we've got the decision
2141
02:58:35,911 --> 02:58:39,530
Please read it loud
The defendants please rise.
2142
02:58:47,339 --> 02:58:49,370
we find Earl Gentry and Earl Clink
2143
02:58:49,570 --> 02:58:52,915
acquitted of any wrong in the
death of Madge Oberholtzer
2144
02:59:01,271 --> 02:59:01,888
Quiet!
2145
02:59:02,088 --> 02:59:02,935
Alright
2146
02:59:05,104 --> 02:59:09,491
We the people of Indiana,
the good people of Indiana
2147
02:59:11,240 --> 02:59:18,629
agree unanimously to find David Stevenson
guilty of murder in the second degree
2148
02:59:31,718 --> 02:59:35,515
punishable by life in prison in the
State Penitentiary in Michigan City
2149
02:59:35,715 --> 02:59:42,853
Verdict is accepted, the jury is excused
and this Court is adjourned
2150
03:00:02,859 --> 03:00:05,009
What do you say about this verdict?
2151
03:00:05,209 --> 03:00:08,771
People are fool
they don't understand I run again,I'm the law!
2152
03:00:08,971 --> 03:00:10,995
I'll never see the inside of a prison
2153
03:00:11,195 --> 03:00:13,684
I have got friends in Jacksonville
who will pardon me
2154
03:00:13,884 --> 03:00:17,584
I have friends, I am the power in Indiana!
2155
03:00:18,420 --> 03:00:21,562
I am the absolute law, yes exactly!
2156
03:00:42,267 --> 03:00:44,244
Then I let my messages
to the governor get through
2157
03:00:46,741 --> 03:00:49,517
you you'll see you could get the message through then
2158
03:00:49,717 --> 03:00:51,468
Why you called me?
2159
03:00:53,858 --> 03:01:00,126
You know who I am.
If you can't trust the press who can you trust?
2160
03:01:02,421 --> 03:01:04,724
You tell them I want my part,
you tell them to get me out of here
2161
03:01:05,052 --> 03:01:06,182
I'll blow the lid off this thing
2162
03:01:06,382 --> 03:01:08,406
not just Jackson but John, Duvall all of them.
2163
03:01:08,606 --> 03:01:10,578
You tell them I have the proof
2164
03:01:10,884 --> 03:01:12,411
you told them it was not destroyed
2165
03:01:13,980 --> 03:01:16,715
Proof of what?
2166
03:01:16,915 --> 03:01:20,891
You don't know.You'll know.
2167
03:01:24,174 --> 03:01:26,109
If I fall, they'll all fall.
2168
03:01:26,744 --> 03:01:30,697
It will be chaos, city, state.
2169
03:01:30,897 --> 03:01:33,006
You tell them.
2170
03:01:33,206 --> 03:01:36,763
You tell them they can't turned
their bags on the old man
2171
03:01:38,042 --> 03:01:39,588
I still got the black boxes.
2172
03:01:55,818 --> 03:02:00,025
GOVERNOR REFUSES PARDON FOR STEVENSON
2173
03:02:16,700 --> 03:02:20,399
Come through, boys
2174
03:02:32,561 --> 03:02:33,424
My God
2175
03:02:33,624 --> 03:02:37,592
Look at this!
Letters of agreement
2176
03:02:38,461 --> 03:02:40,965
Contracts, canceled checks,
2177
03:02:41,165 --> 03:02:43,112
look at these names:
2178
03:02:43,472 --> 03:02:46,011
governor Jackson, John Duvall,
half the game legislature
2179
03:02:46,211 --> 03:02:48,504
Can't believe the governor
actually did the right thing
2180
03:02:48,704 --> 03:02:49,115
What choice did he have?
2181
03:02:49,315 --> 03:02:51,062
He would have been lynched by the ground department
2182
03:02:51,746 --> 03:02:53,436
His only hope was that Stephenson was bluffing
2183
03:02:53,783 --> 03:02:56,451
This was no bluff!
He's gonna do it!
2184
03:02:57,536 --> 03:02:58,845
he's gonna bring them all down!
2185
03:02:59,787 --> 03:03:00,823
We're putting out a special edition
2186
03:03:01,444 --> 03:03:03,952
Gravy, call the mayor
Mill, get a statement from the governor
2187
03:03:04,522 --> 03:03:05,169
let's go, let's go!
2188
03:03:07,801 --> 03:03:09,651
we got him!
we got him!
2189
03:03:54,159 --> 03:03:57,699
In the year following the trial of DC Stevenson
2190
03:03:57,899 --> 03:04:02,300
Ku Klux Klan membership fell from over
six million to under three hundred thousand.
2191
03:04:03,561 --> 03:04:07,453
in 1928 Boyd Gurley was
awarded the Pulitzer Prize
2192
03:04:07,653 --> 03:04:11,624
for his investigative
reporting against the Klan
2193
03:04:14,199 --> 03:04:19,456
David Stevenson served 31 years
for the murder of Madge Oberholtzer
2194
03:04:23,028 --> 03:04:26,895
Four years after his parole
Stephenson was convicted
2195
03:04:27,095 --> 03:04:28,932
of assaulting a 16 year old girl
and was sent back to jail.
2196
03:04:29,407 --> 03:04:31,407
He died in 1966.
