I used to wave at 'em, tryin' to
be friends with 'em.
But they'd never wave back
or nothin'.
Just make their womenfolk
get indoors.
First time I seen Fleety Belle, I...
I thought she was a boy the way
she was dressed.
Well, I blowed my whistle...
and-and she waved back.
And her old man came out
and gave her a whippin'.
After that, I seen her pretty
near every, day.
her old man gave...
her a worse whippin;
And that's why she run away.
-Was it one of her kinfolks you killed?
-No, sir.
-It was Big Steve.
-Who's he?
Engineer on the Memphis Girl.
the steamboat...
where I was hiding her...
You know I don't get mad easy, but...
but when I do, it's like a-like
a thorn tree...
a-growin' and growin' inside
of me, and-
Well, we started in fightin'.
He drawed a knife...
stove wood and...
throwed it at his hand.
and I knowed...
by the way he fell that he
was dead.
Well, then, ain't nobody can say
that that wasn't self-defense.
-Did anybody see it?
-Nobody but a-a preacher fella.
-Calls hisself the New Moses.
-I know 'im. I know him.
He come up on the Pride of
Paducah with me.
I sent a message to you by him.
Did he give it to you?
Yeah, he told me.
-He-He seen it, huh?
-He seen it.
And it was night, and he was
sleepin' on deck.
He didn't blame me none. Just
done a lot of prayin'...
and told me to give myself up.
I don't know nothin about
religion.
But he's right.
He-He's right.
There ain't no jury could blame
you for...
doin' a thing like that.
Now, come on. Come on and sit
down there. Come sit down.
Get you something to eat here now.

see the sheriff,...
and you can give yourself up.

He ain't gonna give his self up.
Listen here. Who asked for any
opinion of...
yours on this thing?
You've done enough to him already.
Now, sit down there and get you
something to eat.
He's gonna do as I say. He knows
that he can trust me.
No, he ain't gonna do what you say.
We heard tell of this hangin' judge.
-Sit down!
-Sit down, Fleety Belle.
Eat some thin'.
Uncle John's right.
There ain't no thin' to run
away from.
I told you not to come here. We'd
be safe in the swamp.
Aw, swamps! He's a river man.
He couldn't live in the swamps.
He's not that kind of people.
But they'll hang you, Duke.
I know they will!
Aw, they won't do any such a
thing. They won't hang him.
Don't pay any attention to her,
