01:44yes sir breakfast and lunch that's good i want to make sure he's healthy when he comes to trial
01:51what about that defense lawyer mr fisher he come by here yet yeah he was out here quite a while
01:57talking to muff like they was old friends he's from st louis i think if you ask me it's a
02:03waste
02:03of the taxpayers money having a big city lawyer defending this case i don't think there's any
02:08question about the fact that potter is the one who killed doc robinson no doubt about that one
02:13drink that's all just one little drink
02:33quiet down order in the cart hey wait a minute joe there's tom hey tom where are you going
02:40we're having a whole lot of fun tom come and see yeah joe what are you guys doing we're having
02:46a
02:46trial hmm a stray cat killed his bird so now we're putting the cat on trial for murder
02:51you know tom just like muff potter i'm the judge here and i've made up my mind this cat's a
03:00murderer
03:00which means she's gotta hang how do you know she's the one that did it ban no doubt about it
03:06i seen
03:07her my dad started chasing our canary just the other day tom it don't matter what you saw the
03:11other day it don't mean she killed this one of course she did when we found her she had it
03:15in her
03:15mouth well another cat might have gotten that burden she picked it up later what we really need is
03:20some witnesses to testify i object we have all the witnesses we need yep let's have order in the
03:30court now whoever witnessed this cat killing the bird has to say so now i'm gonna settle the score
03:42if there's anybody here who saw the cat do it raise your hand now wait a minute tom you're the
03:48defense lawyer and the trial's not over yet that game ain't very much fun if you ask me suit yourself
03:54well i'll be wonder what's eating him today they don't know that cat is guilty not for sure it's
04:01just like muff potter everybody thinks he's the one that murdered dr robinson but i know for a fact it
04:06was
04:29what's the matter with you nothing no for some time now you've been looking at me kind of funny
04:37like you're scared of me why is that boy oh i don't know what you mean ain't polite you know
04:45staring at
04:46folks like that i'm thinking that you owe me an apology boy you do that and then we can be
04:51friends
04:53all right i apologize
05:00you're there engine joe afternoon sheriff collins what can i do for you just want to remind you to
05:06be a muff potter's trial tomorrow you're the only eyewitness we got and the prosecutor's dependent on
05:10your testimony you worry too much sheriff i'll be there see you then poor muff just one mistake and now
05:19he's going to hang for it that fella's got to be awful careful
05:37when we were visiting the jail last night the bars on muff's window felt kind of loose
05:41do you think we could help him escape it wouldn't work
05:45he'd only get caught again and then folks would think he did it for sure
05:51everybody in town's talking about poor old muff like he's the devil or something whenever i hear
05:56him i want to tell them how wrong they are know what you mean
05:59now i'm wondering if maybe we did the wrong thing swearing that oath like we did
06:05what do you mean you know the oath we swore that night after we saw the murder
06:11not to ever tell living soul about it hmm you know what engine joe would do to us if he
06:16ever found out
06:17yeah i guess you're right everyone's so sure that muff did it that no one will believe us even if
06:22we do
06:22tell him what we saw
06:25the sheriff will listen to us and might even believe us eventually and go after engine joe but we won't
06:31last
06:31that long engine joe will find out we saw what happened a long time before they arrest him
06:36and then you know what he'll do you think he'd use a knife or a gun
06:41i got a hunch it could be something even worse than that
06:45slow and painful i bet
06:46you were at the cemetery that night weren't you see it go to bed i'd bet anything you were weren't
07:04you you're dreaming sid now go to sleep will you you're the one that's been dreaming tom you've been
07:09talking to your sleep for days now is that so you've been saying some pretty strange things like
07:15what for instance oh he's gonna get me i don't want to die he murdered the doctor oh
07:23oh blood blood oh i want to i want to please please don't kill me
07:30you stop doing that muff's gonna come back to haunt me because it'll be all my fault
07:37oh blood blood
07:42you're crazy sid i didn't say any such thing you're just dreaming it all up i'm not you're hearing
07:47things my hearing's just fine tom shut up sid you hear me oh come on tom you can tell me
07:54i'm your
07:54brother tell me what happened to dr robinson that night what is it you can't tell anyone
07:59one more word and i'll strangle you
08:01one more word and i'll strangle you
08:25Yoo-hoo! Anybody there?
08:27Mmm. That you, Tom?
08:30It's me and Huck. We brought you some tobacco.
08:34Here.
08:35I sure do appreciate it. Thank you, boys.
08:43We wanted to bring you some whiskey, but we couldn't get any.
08:46Well, it's the thought that counts, boys.
08:48We'll try to bring it the next time we come to visit you.
08:51If there's anything else you need, we'll try and get it for you.
08:54I sure would love to have a drink. Ain't no doubt about that.
08:57But the sheriff gives me three square meals a day,
08:59and I got a bunk to sleep in and a blanket to keep me warm.
09:02Considering the terrible thing I've done,
09:04they're treating me better than I deserve.
09:06There's something I gotta ask you.
09:08Was you really the one that killed Dr. Robinson?
09:11Yep. Not that I had a mind to kill him. It was nothing like that.
09:14It's just that I was so drunk I didn't know what I was doing.
09:17Never did know when to stop.
09:19Always knew liquor would be the death of me.
09:23A man's likely to do just about anything when liquor's got a hold of him
09:27and not even know he'd done it.
09:28Why, I can't even remember a thing about what I'd done.
09:31All of a sudden, my hands were bloody.
09:35And I couldn't figure out where it all come from.
09:37Thought maybe I'd cut myself.
09:41And then I saw the body.
09:43I heard somewhere that if you can prove you didn't know what you was doing,
09:47you can't be found guilty.
09:48There ain't no doubt I'm guilty, Huck.
09:50I was standing there with the knife in my hand and blood all over me
09:53and the doctor laying dead on the ground.
09:55I deserve hanging.
10:00Tell you this, though, until that trap door opens underneath me,
10:04you two boys are the best friends I got.
10:06I can't thank you boys enough for what you've done.
10:09I reckon you're the best two friends I ever had.
10:11And I'm beholden to you.
10:13The only thing I'm sorry for is that we couldn't be friends a little longer.
10:21Now listen to me.
10:22Don't give up yet.
10:23You gotta keep hoping, you know?
10:26Boy, I wanna...
10:28I wanna shake your hand.
10:33Thanks again, boys, for everything you've done.
10:36Couldn't ask for more than having two friends like you.
10:39No, sir.
10:41If only I'd known you sooner,
10:43maybe things would have been different.
10:59Oh, I just don't know if I can stand it any longer.
11:03Stand what?
11:05Not telling anyone about it.
11:07What'll we do?
11:09Listen, Huck, I know we swore not to tell,
11:11but if I could find some way of doing it
11:13without anybody knowing that you were there with me,
11:15would that be all right with you?
11:17Long as Muff thinks he did it, what good would it do?
11:20You're right, Huck.
11:21That's the one thing I can't seem to find a way around.
11:24I could yell my head off in the middle of town
11:26and it wouldn't make no difference
11:27unless Injun Joe confesses that he's the one who did it.
11:30And he'll never do that.
11:32Hmm.
11:36Of course, if he was accused and he thought folks believed it,
11:39then he would...
11:39That just might do it, Huck.
11:42Hey, where are you going?
11:42To see Mr. Fisher, the defense lawyer.
11:45Liar? What for?
11:47I gotta go and tell him how he's gonna defend Muff at the trial tomorrow.
11:50See you later.
11:52Full moon tonight. That must be it.
12:20I'll arrest the next man who does that.
12:26All right, Muff. Move along.
12:29Sorry, sir.
12:31And you're gonna get sorrier.
12:34As far as I know,
12:35there wasn't no event in the history of St. Petersburg
12:38that so many people wanted to go to
12:40as the murder trial on Muff Potter.
12:44Ain't no ten of sardines was ever packed tighter
12:47than the courtroom was that day.
12:52Come to order.
12:55Now, quiet down.
13:00Now, Mr. Prosecutor, please continue.
13:03Certainly. Thank you, Your Honor.
13:05Now, as I understand it,
13:08you went to the cemetery with Dr. Robinson
13:10and the defendant here.
13:12Now, will you please tell the court
13:13why the three of you were there so late at night?
13:16To dig up the body of Hoss Williams
13:18and take it back to the doctor's office.
13:20For what purpose?
13:22I answered that question already.
13:24Didn't the sheriff tell ya?
13:25The questions the sheriff ask you
13:26must be answered again in this courtroom.
13:28Your answer, please.
13:29All right.
13:30He wanted that body for the same reason
13:32he wanted the other bodies we dug up for him.
13:35When Dr. Robinson got those bodies back in his office,
13:37he would examine them.
13:38And why did he do that?
13:40Did he ever tell you?
13:41He said you could learn a lot about diseases that way
13:44and why people died.
13:46You said this wasn't the first.
13:48Exactly how many were there?
13:49I don't know.
13:50Three or four?
13:51You don't know?
13:52There were four, all right.
13:56Was Muff Potter there with you each time?
13:58Yeah, that's right.
14:00All four times.
14:01That's what I said, isn't it?
14:08Afternoon, Sid.
14:10Tom's still upstairs?
14:12No, he's gone.
14:13Gone?
14:14That boy'll be the death of me.
14:15I told him I needed his help today
14:17and he's run off anyway.
14:19Aunt Pauly?
14:20Yes, Sid?
14:21I thought you ought to know
14:22that Tom's been having these awful bad dreams every night.
14:25Really?
14:25What makes you think so, Sid?
14:27Well, he's constantly talking in his sleep
14:30and he yells too
14:31and it's always about horrible things
14:32like murder and blood and Dr. Robinson.
14:35Dr. Robinson, you say?
14:36Yes, and I think Tom was out there that night
14:38and saw the killing.
14:40My goodness, that was several days ago.
14:42Why didn't you tell me, Sid?
14:43Well, I wasn't sure until last night, Aunt Pauly.
14:46Well, that explains it.
14:48I thought he was acting that way because he was sick.
14:51That's why he had no appetite
14:52and wouldn't see his friends.
14:54Poor Tom.
14:55No wonder he's been so moody.
14:57Poor boy.
14:59Oh, to think of how horrible it must have been for him.
15:02And in a cemetery.
15:04Hmm?
15:05That's strange.
15:07Mm-hmm.
15:08What?
15:08What on earth was Tom doing at the cemetery
15:11in the middle of the night?
15:14Please go on.
15:15What did Mr. Potter do then?
15:16I saw him raise the knife above his head
15:19and bring it down with all his might
15:21and stab the doctor.
15:24It all happened so fast, so sudden,
15:26I didn't have time to stop him.
15:28I've known Muff Potter for a long time
15:31and I just couldn't believe he'd do something like that.
15:34Not Muff.
15:35It was the liquor.
15:36He'd had so much to drink,
15:37he didn't know what he was doing.
15:38You've stated that Mr. Potter drew a knife.
15:41Yes, sir.
15:41You heard me right.
15:45Was it this one?
15:50That's it, all right.
15:51I submit this knife to the court as Exhibit A, Your Honor.
15:55The prosecution doesn't see any need
15:57to ask this witness any more questions at this time.
15:59Very well.
16:02Your witness, Counselor.
16:04Have you any questions for this witness, Mr. Fisher?
16:07Do you wish to cross-examine?
16:09No, sir.
16:11Are you sure, Mr. Fisher?
16:12May I remind you that this is the key witness for the prosecution?
16:15If it please the court,
16:17I merely wish to remind the witness that he's under oath.
16:20No questions, Your Honor.
16:21Just what do you mean by that, Mr. Fancy Pence, lawyer?
16:25You calling me a liar?
16:27Listen.
16:28You quiet down, behave yourself.
16:30Understand?
16:31Hmm.
16:32Very well, witness may step down.
16:34But you may be recalled to the stand,
16:36so don't leave the courtroom.
16:44Order, order in the court.
16:46Mr. Prosecutor, you may call your next witness.
16:51I call Donald Taylor.
16:53Would you please come forward and be sworn in?
16:56You're positive?
16:57It's his, all right.
16:58I've seen him use it for carving wood.
17:00So, you're positive this knife belongs to Mr. Muff Potter?
17:04Yes, sir.
17:06Very well.
17:07You're a witness, Counselor.
17:08Witness may step down.
17:10I remember thinking how strange it was seeing Muff down in the river taking a bath.
17:14Ain't like him at all.
17:15And he was scrubbing himself so hard that whatever he was trying to get rid of must have been awful
17:19hard to wash off.
17:20I see.
17:21So then, from what you saw, it could have been blood.
17:24Isn't that right?
17:25No questions.
17:26You may call the next witness.
17:28No questions.
17:28I'm trying to defend him.
17:30Calm down.
17:31You hear me?
17:32Quiet.
17:35Mr. Fisher, as counsel for the defense,
17:37it's your duty to use whatever opportunities present themselves during the proceedings of this trial
17:42to establish the innocence of your client.
17:44Like maybe asking the witness a few questions.
17:46May it please the court.
17:47I have my own methods.
17:50Your Honor, the defense counsel's lack of participation is due to the fact that the prosecution has established the defendant's
17:56guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt
17:57and that attempting to defend him would be an exercise in futility.
18:01Mr. Fisher, if you do have anything to say, now's the time to speak your piece.
18:07All right, Your Honor.
18:08The defense will now call its only witness whose testimony will prove that my client is innocent.
18:14Mr. Fisher, this is highly irregular.
18:16Mr. Fisher, in the cause of justice, I insist that he be heard.
18:19Mr. Fisher, I believe it would be a waste of time to call any more witnesses, Your Honor. Don't you
18:24agree?
18:25Mr. Fisher, is your witness here in the courtroom?
18:28Mr. Fisher, yes.
18:29Mr. Fisher, I call Tom Sawyer.
18:31Mr. Fisher, you can go sit down now, miss.
18:34Mr. Fisher, come forward, Tom.
18:35Mr. Fisher, don't be afraid.
18:38Mr. Fisher, order in the court.
18:39Mr. Fisher, I'm going to call him up here anyway.
18:41Mr. Fisher, there you are.
18:43Mr. Fisher, well, you ready?
19:07Are you all right, Tom?
19:08Uh, I'm, I'm, I'm, uh, mm-hmm.
19:13Everything will be all right.
19:15That chair up there is the witness stand.
19:17Have a seat and we'll begin.
19:27Go ahead and sit down, boy.
19:29Haven't got all day, you know.
19:31I, uh, oh!
19:36Tom don't know nothing, Mr. Fisher.
19:38What's he up there for?
19:39We'll find out soon enough.
19:44All right, back down.
19:46Order in the court.
19:48Let me get a spot to this line.
19:53Is your trial almost over?
19:57It'll be over soon.
19:59Ain't no doubt that Potter's guilty.
20:01Yep.
20:02I'm sorry.
20:04So when you went to the graveyard that night,
20:07you weren't alone.
20:08You were with a friend, correct?
20:10That's right.
20:11And the name of your friend?
20:14I'd rather not say less.
20:15I have to.
20:16At present, it's not important.
20:18And your loyalty to your friend is admirable.
20:20But later, we may have to know his identity.
20:22And then you'll have to tell us.
20:23All right?
20:24Yes, sir.
20:25Were you near Horse Williams' grave that night?
20:28Yes, sir.
20:29That spot is real close to where I was.
20:31Can you tell us how close you were, Tom?
20:33Well, it was dark and all, but near as I can figure,
20:36about as close as I am to Muff right now.
20:38Then why didn't he see you?
20:40I was hiding behind a tombstone.
20:42I see.
20:43So at midnight, on the evening of June 17th,
20:46you were in the St. Petersburg Cemetery
20:48within a few feet of Horse Williams' grave.
20:50Then you heard someone coming and hid behind a tombstone.
20:54What happened then, Tom?
20:58Tom?
21:00Tom?
21:03Well, Tom?
21:04Huh?
21:06I would like you to describe the events
21:08that took place that night.
21:10You must tell us, or an innocent man will hang.
21:15He didn't see nothing.
21:17He's bluffing.
21:19There was three of them.
21:20Muff Potter and another man
21:22were arguing with Dr. Robinson.
21:23They all sounded real angry.
21:25It looked like Muff and the other men
21:27were about to attack Dr. Robinson.
21:30And then...
21:31Huh?
21:32Ooh!
21:33Ooh!
21:35Now I'm going to settle the score.
21:38Huh?
21:39No!
21:40Huh?
21:41Uh-huh.
21:43Uh-huh.
21:43Uh-huh.
21:45And the man who did it
21:46is the man who's sitting in front of me right now.
21:50Uh-huh.
21:51Uh-huh.
21:52Uh-huh.
21:53Uh-huh.
21:54Uh-huh.
21:54That's enough.
21:54Quiet now.
21:55Just quiet down.
21:56Better tend to your own well-being, boy.
21:59Continue, Mr. Fisher.
22:05It's that man, the one they call Injun Joe.
22:07He's the one who killed Dr. Robinson.
22:17Hold it right there, Joe.
22:24Joe, Joe, I'm warning you. Stop our own suit.
22:30Come away!
22:44Hey, come on, everybody! He's getting away!
22:47The murderer! What are you waiting for?
23:03I'm real sorry, Muff.
23:05If I'd have spoken up earlier, you wouldn't have had to go through all this,
23:08but I was too scared.
23:11You probably won't ever forgive me.
23:15It's okay. I don't blame you.
23:20You saved me, Tom.
23:24Thank you, Tom. Thank you.
23:28Bless you, boy. Bless you.
23:31Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
23:35Somewhere out there, Engine Joe's on the loose.
23:38And as good as he is at sneaking and hiding,
23:41I got a pretty strong hunch that the posse won't catch him.
23:44And sooner or later, on some dark night,
