understand, you can expect
anything except what you're looking
for while we're in Sioux territory.
You here to kowtow
to them, Mr. Paige?
You an Indian lover, too?
I'm here to extend
the hand of friendship.
Why don't you shut up, Grimes?
I'll shut up when I see soldiers
back here protecting us.
That's the kind of
friendship I want.
Judge, we caught us a traitor.
BAKER:
Why, Marshal,that's John Lawrence!
I'm surprised
as much as you are.
Caught him red-handed, about
10 miles out of town,
dickering with some Indians.
I always suspected Lawrence was
in sympathy with the rebels.
MAN 1:
A traitor's a traitor.MAN 2:
Let's string him up!(ALL AGREEING)
We don't string up anybody without a
trial while I'm Marshal of this town.
But you caught him in the act.
And that's enough!
We don't have to
wait for nothin' now.
Be a warning to some
others I ain't sure about.
MAN 3:
Yeah. That's right.(ALL AGREEING)
Just a minute!
You making the charge, Marshal?
Heard it all.
He and some renegade braves
were planning to kill War Cloud.
Then, they were going to take over
our town and the whole territory.
Haven't you anything to say
about it, Mr. Lawrence?
say would help me now, Mike.
You're right, nothin'
you'd say could help you.
He's going to get a fair trial.
All right, if we got
to have it legal,
let's get on with it, Judge.
- Right here.

BOGGS:
Well,what are we waiting for?
(ALL AGREEING)
Not a very peaceful introduction
to our town for you, sir.
I'm very interested in
watching frontier justice.
We live in constant fear
We're forced to
use drastic methods
with men who attempt to inflame
GRIMES:
There's only one curefor a spy. The rope!
(ALL AGREEING)
Quiet, please. Quiet!
Court's in session.
State your name.
John Lawrence.
Where were you born?
Richmond, Virginia.
But you always said
you were born in Boston.
I was born in
Richmond, Virginia.
John Lawrence, you've been
found guilty by a fair trial
Indians against the whites,
of spying for the South.
You've been sentenced to
death by due process of law.
Dad!
- As Marshal of this township, it is my duty to...
- Dad!
- Dad!
- Ruthie.
Dad, those fools,
those stupid fools.
Ruthie, you must
go away. Please.
Dad, tell them it isn't true.
Tell them you're not a spy.
It's useless.
I only did for the South
what any one of them
would do for the North.
Hang her, too, Marshal.
She's just as guilty as he is.
(ALL AGREEING)
Ruthie, I want you to leave now.
