3. and you must stand united on this,Copy !req
4. can stamp out this frightful
assassin of our youth.Copy !req
5. You can do it by initiating
compulsory educationCopy !req
6. on the subject of narcotics
in general.Copy !req
7. But dread marihuana in particular!Copy !req
8. That is why we are meeting,
ladies and gentlemen,Copy !req
9. to lay the foundation for
a nationwide campaign by youCopy !req
10. to demand by law
such compulsory education.Copy !req
11. For it is only through enlightenment
that this scourge can be wiped out.Copy !req
12. Out of the traffic in these drugs,Copy !req
13. a lawlessness we can hardly estimate
has grown and is now flourishing.Copy !req
14. It exists in almost every city
and hamlet in the country.Copy !req
15. You will find it interesting
and important to knowCopy !req
16. some of the methods used
to bring drugs into the countryCopy !req
17. and the work of the forces
of law and order,Copy !req
18. which are daily
combatting the traffic,Copy !req
19. always risking their agents' lives.Copy !req
20. The Dept. Of Narcotics, Washington,
wages this ceaseless fight.Copy !req
21. I have a letter of vital importance
from someone in the Narcotics Bureau.Copy !req
22. I'm going to read this letter to you.Copy !req
23. "My dear Dr.Copy !req
24. "The suppression of the use of
marihuana and the forces behind itCopy !req
25. "is the most important job
this department is engaged in.Copy !req
26. "At the outset, there is
one vital fact I would submit.Copy !req
27. "There is a powerful agency.
I speak of the school-parent groupsCopy !req
28. "which can be invaluable
in stamping out this scourge.Copy !req
29. "Their help and vigilance could be
the deciding factor in our fight.Copy !req
30. "Marihuana is grown
in every state in the Union.Copy !req
31. "Recently, in Brooklyn, New York,Copy !req
32. "a fie/d of marihuana was found
behind a tenement court.Copy !req

53. No doubt, many of you do not believe
that these things do happen,Copy !req
54. that they cannot happen to you.Copy !req
55. You may also believe the facts
have been exaggerated.Copy !req
56. Let me tell you something that
happened here in our own city.Copy !req
57. You probably read about it.Copy !req
58. However, I'll give you
the real facts behind the case.Copy !req
59. An apartment was near
one of our high schools.Copy !req
60. It was run by a woman
known as Mae Coleman.Copy !req
61. Hey.Copy !req
62. - Come on, Mae, get up.
- What time is it?Copy !req
63. Time to clean this place.
It's like the Marines landed.Copy !req
64. That bunch last night was high enough
to defeat the Marines.Copy !req
65. Get on the job.
Some of the kids may be up later.Copy !req
66. Jack, we don't need to drag
those young kids up here.Copy !req
67. Just button up your lip.Copy !req
68. Always squawking about something.
You got more static than a radio.Copy !req
69. Ah, greetings.Copy !req
70. - Hello, fella, how are you?
- Fine, how are you? Come in!Copy !req
71. Glad to be here.Copy !req
72. - ls Mae in?
- She'll be right in. Just sit down.Copy !req
73. - What kind of a joint is this, Eddie?
- It's OK, Gwen.Copy !req
74. - See, they probably had a party.
- Ahh.Copy !req
75. - A couple of your customers, Mae.
- Yeah?Copy !req
76. They know what they're doing, not
like the young kids you bring here.Copy !req
77. All right, all right.
Listen, I'm gonna blow.Copy !req
78. Where you going?Copy !req
79. Got to make some deliveries.
I'll bring back a couple of kids.Copy !req
80. - Oh, I wish you'd lay off those kids.
- Why don't you get over your complex?Copy !req
81. By the way, Ralph, I'm giving a party
Saturday at my grandmother's.Copy !req
82. The place with the pool. Coming?Copy !req
83. - Maybe.
- I'd like to have you.Copy !req
84. - OK, I'll probably drop over.
- So long, Ralph.Copy !req
85. - Hey, Ralph! How are you, kid?
- Fine, Jack. You?Copy !req
86. - Oh, great. Where you headed?
- Oh...Copy !req
87. Hey, how do you like that?Copy !req
88. That's the one I was
telling you about.Copy !req
89. Very nice.Copy !req
90. I don't know why you make such a fuss
over Ralph.Copy !req
91. He's a swell swimmer.
Made the freshman team at college.Copy !req
92. My dad knows his family.
None of them are any good.Copy !req
93. - Parents just got a divorce in Paris.
- Yeah?Copy !req
94. Ralph runs around pretty much
on his own. He's been in trouble.Copy !req
95. Well, I don't go around with him.Copy !req
96. You better not. He's too old for us.
That's what my dad said.Copy !req
97. - Hello, Mary. Hi, Bill.
- Hi, Ralph.Copy !req
98. Hi, Ralph. You know my brother Jimmy,
don't you?Copy !req
99. How are you?Copy !req
100. I'd like you to meet a friend
of mine, Jack Perry. Mary, Bill.Copy !req

122. - You're sweet to help me, Bill.
- Anything but Domestic Science.Copy !req
123. Don't you want to learn about
running your own home?Copy !req
124. The answer is no. You know, after
that session we had yesterday,Copy !req
125. I told Mother the trouble
with her pot roast gravy wasCopy !req
126. she hadn't added three heaping
teaspoonfuls of olive oil.Copy !req
127. - What did she say?
- She threw me out of the kitchen.Copy !req
128. - No wonder.
- Hello, children.Copy !req
129. - Hello, Mother.
- Hello, Mrs. Lane.Copy !req
130. - That was sweet of you, Mother.
- Hot chocolate! Thanks, Mrs. Lane!Copy !req
131. You can't study on empty stomachs.
Enjoy yourselves.Copy !req
132. - He will.
- She will too, Mrs. Lane.Copy !req
133. - May l?
- Thank you, sir. You're so very kind.Copy !req
134. Mary, before we do that math,
let's read this. It's swell.Copy !req
135. Romeo and Ju/iet?Copy !req
136. - Don't you like it?
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
137. When I study this, I think of you.Copy !req
138. I feel as though you're
there beside me.Copy !req
139. Oh, listen.Copy !req
140. "It is my soul that calls
upon thy name.Copy !req
141. "How silver-sweet sound
lovers' tongues by night.Copy !req
142. "Like softest music
to attending ears!"Copy !req
143. - "Romeo!"
- "My dear?"Copy !req
144. "At what o'clock tomorrow
shall I send to thee?"Copy !req
145. - "By the hour of nine."
- "l will not fail."Copy !req
146. "Tis twenty years till then."Copy !req
147. Well... I'll see you tonight, Mary.
Goodbye, Mrs. Lane.Copy !req
148. - Goodbye, Bill.
- So long.Copy !req
149. Gosh, l...Copy !req
150. Oh, Bill!Copy !req
151. I guess I'm all right. Bye! Bye!Copy !req
152. - Hey, Daddy!
- Oh, Junior!Copy !req
153. There you are!Copy !req
154. - Hey, Dad, you got anything for me?
- Don't bother your father.Copy !req
155. - Have you?
- There you are.Copy !req
156. What made you so late, Bill?
I was worried.Copy !req
157. Oh, I had to study, Ma.Copy !req
158. He was not. I saw him out
walking with his girl.Copy !req
159. Bill's got a girlfriend...Copy !req
160. - Make him stop!
- Junior!Copy !req
161. - Well, Bill has got a girl.
- Quiet! And put that candy away.Copy !req
162. - You shouldn't have given it to him.
- His girl's name is Mary.Copy !req
163. Hey, I'll shut you up.Copy !req
164. Bill! Junior! Quit that carrying on!Copy !req
165. They're all right, they're young.Copy !req
166. Mary's little lamb.Copy !req
167. I didn't mean it, Bill!Copy !req
168. What I'm burned up about is that you
didn't say Bill had a swell girl!Copy !req
169. Gee. It must be love.Copy !req
170. - She must be swell if you like her.
- You must want something.Copy !req
171. - Come on, what is it?
- It's my model plane. It won't work.Copy !req
172. Gosh, Bill, you could fix it.
You can fix anything!Copy !req
173. OK, I'll fix it.Copy !req
174. - Dad, read me the funny papers.
- Here we are.Copy !req
175. - Hey, Bill!
- Oh hello, Jimmy.Copy !req
176. Mary went home. Her mother
wanted her to go to the dressmaker.Copy !req
177. Oh thanks, Jimmy.Copy !req
178. I see Mary let you have the car.Copy !req
179. - Can I take you anyplace?
- I wasn't going anyplace special.Copy !req
180. How about driving over to Joe's place
with me? I'll buy you a soda!Copy !req
181. - I never drink that stuff!
- I'll buy you something else.Copy !req
182. - You're on the hook for a root beer.
- Swell!Copy !req
183. - Hi. What'll you have?
- Hey, Jimmy!Copy !req
184. Hi Jimmy. Hi, Bill.
Come on, slide in.Copy !req
185. - Hello, Blanche. Hello, Ralph.
- How've you been, Ralph?Copy !req
186. Two sodas...
I mean one soda and one root beer.Copy !req
187. - How's Mae?
- Fine. We're going to her apartment.Copy !req
188. - Could Bill come?
- Sure.Copy !req
189. - I don't know...
- Come on, Bill!Copy !req
190. - Thanks, but...
- Come on, Bill.Copy !req
191. - Mary won't be jealous.
- A lot of the kids will be there.Copy !req

Well, OK.Copy !req
193. - Hiya, kids!

194. Yeah, come on in.Copy !req
195. - Jack!

196. Come on, Bill, don't stand there!Copy !req
197. Billy-hillbilly!Copy !req
198. - Hi, kids!
- Mae, this is Bill Harper. He's OK.Copy !req
199. Hello.Copy !req
200. Well, if you say so, he's all right
with me. I'll be back in a minute.Copy !req
201. - Hiya, kids, how ya doing?
- OK. Hiya, Mae.Copy !req
202. - There's a new one in today.
- Yeah, Bill Harper.Copy !req
203. He's all right. Blanche's got
herself quite a yen for him.Copy !req
204. Not bad. I didn't think she had
that much taste.Copy !req
205. She got Ralph not to bother her.
Now she's got her hooks out for Bill.Copy !req
206. We haven't many more smokes.
You'd better go and get some.Copy !req
207. Couldn't you find that out this
morning? Now my car is in the shop.Copy !req
208. So what? That kid out there, Jimmy.
He's got a car. He'll take you.Copy !req
209. Come on, get going. Hurry up.Copy !req
210. - Hey, Jimmy.
- Yup?Copy !req
211. I've got to go to Cedar Avenue.Copy !req
212. - You got a car?
- My sister's.Copy !req
213. - Mind giving me a lift?
- Why sure, come on.Copy !req
214. No, thank you.Copy !req
215. - Well, here we are.
- Oh, thanks.Copy !req
216. Oh, Mae, don't forget me.Copy !req
217. I never forget you.Copy !req
218. Oh dear. If you want a good smoke,
try one of these.Copy !req
219. I thought you were a sport.Copy !req
220. Of course, if you're afraid...Copy !req
221. That's better! That's more like it.
I know you'll like it.Copy !req
222. Just take a puff of this.Copy !req
223. - Just be a minute, kid.
- Give me a cigarette, will you?Copy !req
224. - Hello, Jack.
- Hiya, Boss.Copy !req
225. - How's business?
- Great. Those kids sure go for it.Copy !req
226. - Swell.
- Had to get a few more cartons.Copy !req
227. - Ran short today.
- All right.Copy !req
228. Danny? Pack ten gross for Jack Perry.Copy !req
229. Who? Pete Daley?
All right, send him in.Copy !req
230. It's all right, stay where you are.Copy !req
231. I want to talk to you.Copy !req
232. Go ahead, Jack's OK. What's the beef?Copy !req
233. I never beefed
when I sold that rotten gin.Copy !req
234. - You want dough, right?
- I don't need it that bad.Copy !req
235. - Taking two-bit pieces from kids.
- Millions, begging to be taken.Copy !req
236. - Don't be a dope.
- Just dope enough to draw the line.Copy !req
237. OK, Pete. You know what
my policy's always been.Copy !req
238. if the boys are not satisfied,
I'm always glad to have them retire.Copy !req
239. Retire permanently.Copy !req
240. So long.Copy !req
241. - I wish you had a couple of kids...
- Get out!Copy !req
242. - Jack, pick up your stuff from Danny.
- OK, boss.Copy !req
243. - Let's go, Jack, I'm red-hot!
- Be careful or you'll be ice cold.Copy !req
244. Take it easy, kid!Copy !req
245. Slow down! You'll kill somebody!Copy !req
246. Mary, you're not eating
your breakfast again.Copy !req
247. Bill Harper hasn't been around
lately. Anything wrong?Copy !req
248. Why should there be anything wrong?Copy !req
249. There shouldn't be.
Whatever it is isn't serious, I know.Copy !req
250. - I'm sorry for snapping at you.
- Don't worry about it, dear.Copy !req
251. Why don't you speak to Bill?
He'll be honest, whatever it is.Copy !req
252. - I'm sure Bill Harper never lied.
- Yes, his mother says he never lies.Copy !req
253. - There, you see?
- It'd be all right if...Copy !req
254. - ... if I speak to him about it?
- Why, of course.Copy !req
255. - Oh, Jimmy.
- Hello, Ma.Copy !req
256. Sit down. I'll have your breakfast
for you in a moment.Copy !req
257. - ls something worrying you?
- What have I got to worry about?Copy !req
258. - Why don't you tell me?
- Don't cross-examine me!Copy !req
259. Jimmy!
Don't let Mother see you like that.Copy !req
260. There is certainly an organized gang
distributing narcotics to students.Copy !req
261. Not only in my school,
but all over the city.Copy !req
262. You government men have got to find
some way to stop it.Copy !req
263. Of course, I agree with you,
Dr. Carroll.Copy !req
264. But do you realize marihuana
is not like other forms of dope?Copy !req
265. It grows wild in almost every state
in the Union.Copy !req
266. Thus, there is no interstate commerce
in the drug.Copy !req
267. So, the government's hands are tied.Copy !req
268. Frankly, the only sure cure is a
widespread campaign in education.Copy !req
269. It's fine to talk about education,
Mr. Wyatt.Copy !req
270. But we educators can't do anything
until the public is aroused.Copy !req
271. Let me show you something.Copy !req
272. In 1930, the records on marihuana
in the Narcotics DivisionCopy !req
273. scarcely filled a small folder
like this.Copy !req
274. Today, they fill cabinets.Copy !req
275. All these... devoted to
marihuana records.Copy !req
276. Here is an example.Copy !req
277. A 16-year-old lad, apprehended
in the act of staging a holdup.Copy !req
278. 16 years old,
and a marihuana addict.Copy !req
279. - Here is a most tragic case.
- Yes, I remember. Just a young boy.Copy !req
280. Under the drug's influence,
he killed his entire family.Copy !req
281. Then there is the most
vicious type of case.Copy !req
282. Here.Copy !req
283. In Michigan. A young girl,
17 years old. A reefer smoker.Copy !req
284. Taken in a raid
in the company of five young men.Copy !req
285. Here is a most flagrant case.Copy !req
286. I remember. The papers made
quite a play of it.Copy !req
287. - In West Virginia, wasn't it?
- Yes. And there are hundreds of them.Copy !req
288. I'd like to take these records.
I feel they would be invaluable to meCopy !req
289. - in combating the evil in my school.
- You're very welcome, Dr. Carroll.Copy !req
290. Sit down, Bill.Copy !req
291. There seems to be something wrong.
What is it?Copy !req
292. You were always a fine student.
You always had excellent grades.Copy !req
293. I guess the work is getting harder,
Dr. Carroll.Copy !req
294. No. No, it isn't that.Copy !req
295. Bill, I'd like to help you.
But I can't, unless you let me.Copy !req
296. You're undermining your health.Copy !req
297. There's nothing, Dr. Carroll, really.
I'll study harder, honest.Copy !req
298. Honest? if you were being honest
with me and honest with yourself,Copy !req
299. I'm afraid you'd tell me
an entirely different story.Copy !req
300. I'm going to ask you
a straightforward question.Copy !req
301. - I'd like a straightforward answer.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
302. isn't it true that you have,
perhaps unwillingly,Copy !req
303. acquired a harmful habit through
association with undesirable people?Copy !req
304. - Well?
- Oh no, sir. I haven't, Dr. Carroll.Copy !req
305. Well, that is, you see, I'm...Copy !req
306. worried about something at home.Copy !req
307. All right, my boy.
We'll just have to let it go at that.Copy !req
308. But remember, if you ever
want to confide in me,Copy !req
309. - no one will ever be the wiser.
- Thank you, Dr. Carroll.Copy !req
310. - Hi, Mary, want to play?
- Thanks, I'm waiting for someone.Copy !req
311. if you're waiting for Bill,
he hasn't been here for weeks.Copy !req
312. - Come on, Jimmy, play something hot!
- OK!Copy !req
313. Come on, Billy! Dance with me!Copy !req
314. - Didn't take Bill long to catch on.
- Don't take any of them long.Copy !req
315. - Hey, don't you ever get fed?
- You're feeding me, can't you see?Copy !req
316. - Give me a knife and fork, will you?
- Get it yourself.Copy !req
317. Come on, Bill!Copy !req
318. Come on! Come on, Bill!Copy !req
319. Come on, Bill.Copy !req
320. - Good morning, we're the police.
- Good morning.Copy !req
321. We're tracing a hit-and-run.
Someone caught part of the license.Copy !req
322. - We're checking all numbers like it.
- I'll try to help.Copy !req
323. - Do you recall the 29th, last month?
- The day before Mother's birthday.Copy !req
324. Yes, I left school and went
to the dressmaker with mother.Copy !req
325. - I was there all afternoon.
- Did you loan your car to two men?Copy !req
326. - No, I had the car all afternoon.
- Thanks, Miss. Sorry to trouble you.Copy !req
327. Tell me... Did they...?
Was the person killed?Copy !req
328. Fortunately not. But that's still
no excuse for hit-and-run driving.Copy !req
329. Has Jimmy Lane been here today?Copy !req
330. He was in. He went over to
Mae's place. You know where that is.Copy !req
331. He was going to wait for me here,
so he didn't give me Mae's address.Copy !req
332. Are you sure Jimmy didn't leave
any message for me? Mary?Copy !req
333. No, he didn't.Copy !req
334. But I guess you're OK.
I'll write it down for you.Copy !req
335. - Mary! Come right in!
- ls Jimmy here?Copy !req
336. Oh, why, he's around somewhere.Copy !req
337. I think he went to take Agnes home.
He'll be right back.Copy !req
338. Sit down, Mary.
Let me take your coat.Copy !req
339. Who's the new kid just came in?Copy !req
340. It's that gal Ralph's
gone overboard for.Copy !req
341. We've never been able
to get her up here before.Copy !req
342. Hey, hey. Scram, will ya?Copy !req
343. - Smoke, Mary?
- Thanks.Copy !req
344. - Are you sure Jimmy'll be back soon?
- Sure. Any minute.Copy !req
345. Say, what's the matter?
Am I an orphan?Copy !req
346. - Where do you put it? A hollow leg?
- Thanks, dear.Copy !req
347. Here, Mary.Copy !req
348. - Oh, Mary, give me a kiss, Mary!
- No! Don't! Don't!Copy !req
349. - Please, no!
- Oh, Mary!Copy !req
350. You leave me alone!Copy !req
351. - Go away!
- Mary! Everybody's...Copy !req
352. Leave me alone! Oh, leave me alone!Copy !req
353. - Everything's over.
- Leave me be!Copy !req
354. Ralph! Ralph!Copy !req
355. Look!Copy !req
356. Jack, is she all right?Copy !req
357. She's dead.Copy !req
358. Mae, get me some water.Copy !req
359. Now listen, you two.Copy !req
360. Get out of here. Forget you were ever
in here today.Copy !req
361. I'll handle this. Now get going.Copy !req
362. Give it to me.Copy !req
363. Here.Copy !req
364. Mary?Copy !req
365. Mary? Mary!Copy !req
366. - What happened?
- You killed her.Copy !req
367. Mary, Mary!Copy !req
368. Oh, Mary...Copy !req
369. Look. After I scram,
you call the cops.Copy !req
370. And this is your story. Remember it.Copy !req
371. These kids came here for some beer.
From the kitchen, you heard shots.Copy !req
372. You came in, and
that's what you found.Copy !req
373. Just stick to that story.Copy !req
374. Mary!Copy !req
375. Mary! Speak to me! Mary!Copy !req
376. - Hello, Jack.
- I was just talking to a friend.Copy !req
377. A cop.Copy !req
378. Sergeant on the homicide squad.Copy !req
379. - Guy you hit that day died.
- Died? You... I mean you didn't...?Copy !req
380. No. I didn't crack,
and I'm not going to.Copy !req
381. - Nobody'll know you drove that car.
- Thanks, Jack.Copy !req
382. Just don't say you were ever
up in Mae's apartment.Copy !req
383. Why sure, Jack!Copy !req
384. OK.Copy !req
385. Your honor, I'd like to recall
Dr. Alfred Carroll to the stand.Copy !req
386. Call Dr. Alfred Carroll to the stand.Copy !req
387. Dr. Carroll, as principal of
the Lakeside High School,Copy !req
388. did you, in the last three months,Copy !req
389. notice changes in the demeanor of
your student, William Harper?Copy !req
390. Yes, in a number of things.Copy !req
391. For example, at times,
disassociation of ideas.Copy !req
392. Also, I happened to attend the recent
interscholastic tennis matches.Copy !req
393. While Bill Harper had been considered
an exceedingly good player,Copy !req
394. I saw him miss the ball by
as much as three or four feet.Copy !req
395. This, I understand, could be
attributed to the use of marihuana.Copy !req
396. It causes errors in time and space.Copy !req
397. Objection, your honor!Copy !req
398. The witness isn't qualified
as an expert on narcotics.Copy !req
399. Sustained. Dr. Carroll has been
called merely as a character witness.Copy !req
400. Although you didn't personally know
the defendant was using marihuana,Copy !req
401. did you notice any changes that would
lead you to believe, as an educator,Copy !req
402. that he was under some severe stressCopy !req
403. which might possibly have been
induced by some drug?Copy !req
404. Yes. I recall distinctly,
a few weeks ago.Copy !req
405. It was during a class
of English literature.Copy !req
406. There was a serious discussion of
Shakespeare's Romeo and Ju/iet,Copy !req
407. when he burst into an uncontrollable
fit of hysterical laughter.Copy !req
408. Oh, by the way, Dr. Carroll,Copy !req
409. six months ago, what was your opinion
regarding the character of my client?Copy !req
410. He was a fine, upstanding
American boy.Copy !req
411. A good scholar, a good athlete,Copy !req
412. and representative of the caliber of
young men we are proud to graduate.Copy !req
413. Oh, snap out of it, will you?
It's not our fault.Copy !req
414. Why'd I ever bring him up there,
anyway? He's just a kid.Copy !req
415. - They can't hang him.
- Shut up, shut up!Copy !req
416. Why don't you let yourself go? Talk.Copy !req
417. Go off your nuts
and have me that way too.Copy !req
418. - It's his own fault, wasn't it?
- Shut up!Copy !req
419. They've got us hidden out, haven't
they? The cops can't find us!Copy !req
420. Jack. Jack, I want
to get out of this place.Copy !req
421. You'll stay here as long as we have
to keep those two under cover.Copy !req
422. Till the trial's over... or the boss
gets a better idea.Copy !req
423. - But they're getting on my nerves.
- It can't last much longer.Copy !req
424. I'm not worried about her.
We got to keep him gagged.Copy !req
425. Oh, he's about ready to crack.Copy !req
426. Just keep him from having
too many reefers.Copy !req
427. Any day now, that punk'll get hot.Copy !req
428. He'll probably spill and tell all
if he gets a chance.Copy !req
429. I don't think he'll get it.Copy !req
430. - I'll see you later.
- Where are you going?Copy !req
431. I'm going to see the boss.Copy !req
432. - Hello, Jack.
- Hello, Boss.Copy !req
433. - What'll we do about that Wiley guy?
- Still jittery, huh?Copy !req
434. - I don't know what he'll do.
- Feed him hot sticks.Copy !req
435. Mae's doing that. No good.Copy !req
436. I got a hunch that he's due to crack
when that Harper verdict comes in.Copy !req
437. He's liable to take a powder on us
and blow his topper to the D.A.Copy !req
438. You mean you think we'd all be better
off if he never heard the verdict?Copy !req
439. Well,Copy !req
440. what are you waiting for?Copy !req
441. You, ladies and gentlemen
of the jury, have a duty to perform.Copy !req
442. A duty to yourselves
and to our community.Copy !req
443. Mary Lane is dead.Copy !req
444. The evidence you've
heard at this trialCopy !req
445. could not have failed to convince you
of the guilt of the defendant.Copy !req
446. By his own admission, he pressed
the trigger of the weaponCopy !req
447. that sent lovely and innocent Mary
Lane to a tragic and untimely death.Copy !req
448. We are not so much concerned about
the motives as about the deed itself.Copy !req
449. While the defendant has told you that
he saw someone attacking Mary Lane,Copy !req
450. and that his mind went blank
from that moment on,Copy !req
451. the defense has not produced
one witness to verify that statement.Copy !req
452. Now, ladies and gentlemen, you've
heard able men testify at this trial,Copy !req
453. men who have tried
to bring out the factCopy !req
454. that the defendant might have
become momentarily insaneCopy !req
455. when he fired the shot
that killed Mary Lane.Copy !req
456. But the defense has been unable
to prove that he was insane.Copy !req
457. He was sane when he visited the
apartment where the tragedy occurred.Copy !req
458. He habitually visited the place.Copy !req
459. He was sane when he went to a bedroom
with another woman.Copy !req
460. You heard what went on in that room,
from the defendant's own lips.Copy !req
461. lnvolved as he was in
a tawdry love affair,Copy !req
462. Mary Lane was in the way.
She had found him out.Copy !req
463. In a moment of anger, he deliberately
and willfully killed her.Copy !req
464. if such deeds are permitted
to go unpunished,Copy !req
465. this community would cease to be
a decent and safe placeCopy !req
466. for us or our children to live.Copy !req
467. I do not believe I have to plead,
or even demand,Copy !req
468. that you bring in a verdict
to punish the defendantCopy !req
469. for the crime that he has committed
against society.Copy !req
470. You are upright citizens. That is why
you were chosen to judge another.Copy !req
471. As honest, upright citizens, there is
only one verdict you can find.Copy !req
472. And that is a verdict of "Guilty."Copy !req
473. And this court will be adjourned
until the jury's verdict is reached.Copy !req
474. I suppose you all feel the same
about this case.Copy !req
475. - But he might have been insane.
- No, he knew what he was doing.Copy !req
476. - But supposing he was insane?
- You'll never make anyone believe it.Copy !req
477. We'll take a first vote.Copy !req
478. Eleven for conviction.
One for acquittal.Copy !req
479. There's a reasonable doubt
about his sanity. We can't...Copy !req
480. No doubt that he murdered her.
He admitted it himself.Copy !req
481. That wasn't the first time
he was there.Copy !req
482. We got to make an example before such
boys contaminate all of our children.Copy !req
483. We can't let every murderer hide
behind a gag of insanity.Copy !req
484. Sure, they see red before they kill
somebody. But whose fault is it?Copy !req
485. Have you reached a verdict?Copy !req
486. We have.Copy !req
487. The defendant will rise.Copy !req
488. What is your verdict?Copy !req
489. We find the defendant
guilty as charged.Copy !req
490. No!Copy !req
491. Stop that racket! Stop it!Copy !req
492. What's the matter with you?
You give me the creeps.Copy !req
493. Mae. Mae!Copy !req
494. - What do you want?
- Bring me some reefers.Copy !req
495. They're going to hang him.Copy !req
496. - Blanche. They're going to hang him.
- Oh, come on. Get a hold of yourself.Copy !req
497. Here you are.Copy !req
498. And quit that crazy laughing!Copy !req
499. - Where's Jack? I want to leave.
- You'll hang if you don't pipe down.Copy !req
500. I want to see Jack. Jack.Copy !req
501. I want to see Jack.Copy !req
502. Jack.Copy !req
503. - You'd better quiet him.
- I can't do anything with him.Copy !req
504. I've got to see Jack.Copy !req
505. We can't let that kid hang.Copy !req
506. He'll be here. Don't worry.
He'll be here in a little while.Copy !req
507. I've got to see him. I've got to...Copy !req
508. Come on, darling.
Everything'll be over soon.Copy !req
509. - Want me to play something for you?
- Yeah. That's it. Play something.Copy !req
510. All right. Come on.Copy !req
511. Sit down.Copy !req
512. Honey, give me a smoke, will you?Copy !req
513. Faster.Copy !req
514. Faster!Copy !req
515. Play faster!Copy !req
516. Faster. Play faster.Copy !req
517. Faster.Copy !req
518. I know what you want.Copy !req
519. You want to kill me.Copy !req
520. You're crazy. Take it easy, kid.Copy !req
521. I just want to talk to you.Copy !req
522. Hurry, hurry! There's a terrible
fight going on! Yes... Apartment 32.Copy !req
523. Stop it! Stop it! Let go of me!
Take your hands off of me!Copy !req
524. Stop it! Take your hands off me!
Stop it!Copy !req
525. Stop it!Copy !req
526. Who hired you and Jack Perry?
Are you ready to te// what you know?Copy !req
527. Yes!Copy !req
528. /'// ta/k.Copy !req
529. if we can gain leniency
for my client, she will plead guilty,Copy !req
530. and turn state's evidence
in the case of William Harper.Copy !req
531. I regret this court is not prepared
to bargain with justice.Copy !req
532. I'll tell anyway. I was there.
I saw it.Copy !req
533. I know who killed Mary. And I'll tell
you who killed Mary Lane.Copy !req
534. It wasn't Bill. It was Jack.Copy !req
535. Jack Perry. He shot Mary and then
he put the gun in Bill's hand.Copy !req
536. We were all at the apartment one day.
Mary came in looking for her brother.Copy !req
537. Bill and l,
we'd been in another room.Copy !req
538. Bill came in and caught Ralph
with Mary. They started to fight.Copy !req
539. Jack had the gun. He was going to hit
Bill over the head to make him stop.Copy !req
540. And then... then the gun went off.
I saw it.Copy !req
541. I can see it now. It was horrible!Copy !req
542. Before we knew it, Mary...
Mary was dead.Copy !req
543. But you see, Judge, Bill didn't know
he hadn't killed Mary.Copy !req
544. He was so doped up,
they made him think he had.Copy !req
545. Ralph wanted to tell you, too.
Oh, if they'd only let him.Copy !req
546. But this is the truth, Judge.
I'm telling you the truth.Copy !req
547. After Jack saw that Mary was dead,
he put the gun in Bill's hand.Copy !req
548. It was Jack's fault.Copy !req
549. And it was my fault, too.Copy !req
550. I got all of them to come up
to the apartment.Copy !req
551. I'm just as much to blame.Copy !req
552. I am. I am.Copy !req
553. Do you wish to plead guilty to a
charge of fostering moral delinquencyCopy !req
554. - in the case of William Harper?
- Yes, yes. I'm guilty. I am!Copy !req
555. Prepare a statement
for signature, and an orderCopy !req
556. setting aside the verdict in the case
of the People v. William Harper.Copy !req
557. In the interests of justice, I shall
direct a verdict of not guilty.Copy !req
558. Sign here, please.Copy !req
559. You shall be brought into court on
Thursday, the 17th, for sentencing.Copy !req
560. Meanwhile, you will be held
as a material witnessCopy !req
561. in the case of
the People v. Ralph Wiley.Copy !req
562. We have come in the hearings
before this court todayCopy !req
563. to what I hope will be the final
actions in a sad, unfortunate case,Copy !req
564. one whose horrible tragedy
will forever remain with me.Copy !req
565. I am happy to have been enabled,
before it was too late,Copy !req
566. to set aside the verdict in the case
of the People v. William Harper.Copy !req
567. But, young man,Copy !req
568. although this court believes that to
convict you would be grossly unjust,Copy !req
569. we cannot condone your acts.Copy !req
570. We only express the hope that your
experiences may not alone keep you,Copy !req
571. but thousands of others, from
the vicious pitfalls of marihuana.Copy !req
572. Thus, I am ordering you to remain
in this court during the next caseCopy !req
573. so that you will have to witness what
you yourself so narrowly escaped.Copy !req
574. Call the case of
the People v. Ralph Wiley.Copy !req
575. Bill.Copy !req
576. Bill.Copy !req
577. Your honor, the State waives trial
of the defendant, Ralph Wiley...Copy !req
578. and recommends that he
be placed in an institutionCopy !req
579. for the criminally insane
for the rest of his natural life.Copy !req
580. The defendant's counsel joins
the State in this request.Copy !req
581. Since counsel for the defense and
counsel for the state agree on this,Copy !req
582. I see no reason why the request
should not be granted.Copy !req
583. That happened right here,
to your neighbors.Copy !req
584. It is not too much to say that in
your hands lies the possibilityCopy !req
585. of averting other tragedies like it.Copy !req
586. We must work untiringly to oblige
our children to learn the truth,Copy !req
587. because it is only through knowledge
that we can safely protect them.Copy !req
588. Failing this, the next tragedy may be
that of your daughter,Copy !req
589. or your son, or yours,Copy !req
590. or yours... or yours.Copy !req
