Marshall will you defend my

boy no I'm afraid not we were ready to

put this up for bail you get L off it's

all yours you would have gotten your

bail back you don't think once we got L

out of here we're going to come back do

you will you do it Mr Wesley I'm not an

attorney you studied law for a year at

Harvard you could do it just as well as

anybody

else and we don't know anybody else well

first I'm not entirely convinced of his

innocence second this is only a hearing

to see if he'll be held for

trial but I will appear as a friend of

the court and establish what facts I

can thank you Marshall thank you come on

get out of here will you get out of here

before man changes his

mind thank

you I don't think they have a chance

judge Mason's a friend of Coopers and

the ranch owner

himself there's anything he hates at

squatters

[Music]

the second time we asked him nice like

to please get off our land he chucked a

knife at dealer Spain caught him right

in the neck and you let him get away

happened so fast no noise until dealer

fell over and I went him to see what it

was and I turned back till I was

gone you're on our I appr a bench

sure

is this the murder weapon it is how far

away was the man from Spain when he

threw the

knife about near to that

wall the knife seems to have caught

Spain dead center is it possible to be

accurate at that

distance let me have that

knife this is August 13th isn't

[Music]

it under the circumstances isn't it

dangerous to show you handle a knife so

well everyone around here knows how good

I handle a knife but doing it since I

was 10 years

old did you ever throw a knife in any

way other than the way you just did two

things have never change a style of man

uses to throw a rope and a

knife did the man wear the knife at his

belt no he had it down his back in his

shirt that's all all right co go get

over there get that squatter up

here you swear to tell the truth the

whole truth nothing but truth help God

what did you say say yes and sit down

yes what did he say grandpa

well he said that shut up now give the

court your version of what

happened

well happened just exactly as that fell

said except for two things what two

things first spleen bet Cooper a dollar

he could shoot a half moon of my big

toenail without drawing

blood he D near did it twice

he's getting shaky and I scared he'd

shoot me in the

foot so I threw my knife to distract him

so I could get away but I didn't hit him

I hit a tree right by him squatter can

you prove

that no de

honor I'd like to discuss

motivations I found that Spain and

Cooper owned that ranch in joint tency

with right of survivorship

Spain's death left Cooper sole owner of

a 3500 acre ranch at neted lies here

nothing but a charge of murder you

accuse me of murder you'll wind up back

with the rest of those Doge eating

Apaches I've wanted to come after you a

lot of times you better be glad I'm a

marshall first and Apache

second is this your

knife sure is and is this a Scabbard for

it yeah would you put it on

sure this man wears his knife like the

helos Mexican cow hands you will note

the eaglebeak at the top of the half

besides being decorative and symbolic it

gives a forefinger something to hook on

to on drawing the knife and throwing

it Mr

Wesley did you throw this knife at that

calendar

sure

very good

lies your

honor do you notice anything in

particular about this only that I

wouldn't bet against either one of them

in the knife tossing contest Cooper's

knife hit with a blade edge up Wesley's

hit with a blade edged

on T if it

didn't Deputy fors when you saw the body

was the knife still in the neck was was

a blade edge up toward the chin or down

toward the toes I object now C I don't

doubt that a bit but if you killed de

Spain I can only warn you that I learned

just one set of laws and they apply to

everybody about the position of the

knife

uh I can't be

sure your honor it's obvious one of

these men is telling the truth and the

other one is lying there is no concrete

evidence available but if the court will

indulge me 15 minutes I believe I can

straighten this thing

out Grant

it

[Music]

my people have a way of finding out who

is telling the truth and who isn't a

knife is Heen then placed on the tongues

of the men involved if the knife slides

off then a man is telling the

truth but if the knife sticks to the

Flesh and the man is

lying

why don't she use a divining Rod or a

bone with feathers on it your honor

there's more to this test and

Superstition a liar's mouth is dry with

fear he doesn't have enough saliva to

Stave off the

heat I think it's up to the men involved

you the squatter come up

[Music]

here is it all right with

you

Marshall this hot knife on the tongue

sounds sort of personal sure it works

that way it always

has it's all right with me what about

you Cooper I suppose this was a court of

law not no Apache Camp dance Cooper

there's an awful lot of evidence against

you this is one way to clear

yourself will he go

first

yes all

[Music]

right

tastes

Rusty now if Mr Cooper will be Mr Cooper

will be killing Mr

buckheart

[Music]

appears the complaining witness isn't

going to press his

[Applause]

complaint get out of my way out of my

[Applause]

way George I didn't see who planned that

knife from Cooper did you your old man

did it John Wesley maybe you better take

him man well you better charge him quick

so I can find a out guilty in time to

get on on the noon stage not

guilty the way that crazy Cooper was

pointing that gun he could have killed

me

hey the way you figured that knife that

was real thoughty of you catching out

Cooper that away than yes that came as a

real surprise to me it did why well I

thought lies did

it

[Music]

ha

[Music]
