Mike, you can't let her see this.

Get her out of here.

Ruthie, you'd better

come along with me.

Mike, you didn't do anything?

He tried his best. There

was nothing he could do.

- Judge Baker was...

- (DISDAINFULLY) Judge Baker.

He gave your father

a fair trial.

Yes, I can see how fair it was.

Right here in the

middle of the street.

Why, it's no better than murder.

Murderers, that's what

you all are. Murderers!

If this is the way

the North fights the war,

then I hate the North.

And if my father loves the

South enough to die for it,

then I love it, too.

Don't you want to

sentence me, Judge Baker?

Why don't you put a rope

around my neck, too?

That's enough, Ruth.

You've got to get...

Mike, get her out of here now.

Come on.

You men responsible for murdering

my father will pay for it.

What are we waiting for?

Let's hang the dirty spy!

(ALL AGREEING)

You can stop this hanging.

You can tell 'em it's a matter

for the Federal government.

I can't interfere.

Do you have anything

you want to say?

I do not regret anything

that I've done.

Except that I've brought

unhappiness on my daughter.

She knew nothing

of my activities

for the South, that I swear.

(ALL SHOUTING)

(ALL CHEERING)

Oh, Mike, how could they?

How could they?

War causes terrible things

on both sides, honey.

We'll go away from this town,

where you can forget about

what happened today.

No, I won't.

I won't give them

that satisfaction.

Ruth, you can't stay here now.

I will.

They're not going to

drive me away.

You'll never be able

to stay around here

after what happened today.

Look, you know what

I've always hoped for.

I could start a stage

line somewhere else.

But, Mike, you mustn't

leave your business here.

Then you're not going to

fight this town alone.

What do you mean?

It's going to be

you and me, honey,

against the whole world,

from now on.

Oh, yes, Mike.

Always. Always.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

I'd like a word with you, Mike.

Hasn't there been enough said

and done around here today?

Now, now, Mike, that was

a very sorrowful affair,

but one we couldn't help.

I know you're close to the family,

but the tragedies of war...

Do I have permission

of the Court

to give Mr. Lawrence

a decent burial?

I will personally see to it that his

body is adequately taken care of.

More than adequately.

Now, about Mr. Paige and what

we promised to do for him,

with respect to the Indians.

Won't tomorrow do?

I'd like to see War Cloud

as soon as possible.

I consider it very important

that we lend Mr. Paige

every assistance.

We never know when those savages

might break loose and turn on us.

All right, if you insist.
