 They've got to listen to me. I'll make them. That's what you think. But if they don't want to, they won't. You're certainly not very optimistic. Oh, don't get me wrong. I sure hope they do listen to you. But I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. Well, if they won't listen to me now, I'll wait until I'm questioned again. And then I'll come out with it. Can you imagine Red Morrison being on that court? Listening to Jerry being accused of something that he did himself? That's your nerve for you. That's more than nerve. It's mean. And even that isn't the right word for us. Come on, hurry up. Did you ever stop to think that you've got longer legs than I have? Well, move yours a little faster, then, to make up for the difference. We've got to get back before it's all over, and they find Jerry guilty. After you tell them what you found, just start all over. You mean reopen the case? Uh-huh. Maybe. Oh, they won't be through yet. Well, I don't know about that. When I left, they were calling Sergeant Alden to be questioned, and I think he was the last witness. Did he think Jerry did it? Mm-hmm. It was he and Ted Metcalf who figured Jerry was the guilty one. They were the only ones who knew Jerry. I thought Ted liked Jerry. He seemed to get along all right. Now, wait a minute. Don't hold it against Ted for wanting to get at the bottom of a thing like this. It's serious, and it should be looked into. Yes, and regardless of who it hurts, friendship has nothing to do with duty. I suppose you're right about that. Sure I am. Hello, Phillips. Oh, hello. What's your hurry? Are you going on fire? Well, worse than that. Should I wait outside? No, sir, you come right in with me. I might need you to help me. Oh, wait a minute. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Why don't you come with me? I might need you to back up my story. But you didn't tell me what you found in Red's Room. What could I say? Never mind. You'll come with me. You want to knock at the door? Nothing doing. There might not lot ofRETEMING. I'm going to break right in on them. And here it goes. So every witnessIGOTARY Couldette Phillips. And you, Linwell. I'd like to say something, Major. It's very important. business enough for the moment but what I've got to say sir has to do with this case I've got to tell you just a moment Phillips Captain Bogart is rather an usual procedure I'd like to ask you advice in this matter sir Phillips says he has information bearing on the case but the defense continue with cadet Dugan and then we can listen to what Phillips has to say you might let him remain in court until you call him thank you Captain Bogart we'll hear what you have to say as soon as Captain Radford finishes questioning Cadet Dugan you may be seated up thank you sir continue Captain Radford I'd like you to tell the court cadet Dugan whether or not you have ever committed a malicious action before coming to Pharaoh's no sir I have not have you ever taken part in any pranks or let us say practical jokes no sir have you ever been accused of either no sir thank you I will be all my gentlemen I think in questioning cadet Dugan I have brought out the fact that his character is above reproach I think it's safe to assume that a young man such as cadet Dugan who has had good training is of good morals and habits wouldn't in a short time change to a malicious and ruthless person his character belies the fact that he would be capable of the crime he's accused of in closing I'd like to say that while we have been unable to present witnesses in our behalf or established televised the evidence presented by the prosecution has been purely circumstantial that's all thank you gentlemen now cadet Phillips yes sir step up here please and tell Captain Bogart and myself your information regarding this case yes sir that all now Captain Radford afraid it is unless Lee Phillips really has some new information or evidence that will help you do you're seeing that just tell what he knows or what he found out yes he did let's hope he has something because if he hasn't I don't think there's much in your favor you mean you mean they'll say I'm guilty now take it easy we didn't have any alibis you know you were out in the store with Splendor and you admitted making that remark to Major Metcalf looks bad for you but what you just said in your last speech that they only had circumstantial evidence against me that's true but we'll just have to wait and see wait a minute Captain Bogart's going to speak order gentlemen Major Metcalf and I have just received some startling and enlightening information in regards to this case cadet Lee Phillips has just presented some facts that by all means bear looking into he boy is that news let me be a break for you Major Metcalf may give the court their instructions this court will now adjourn in orderly fashion to Trent Hall where we will be again in session I'll phone Dr. Campbell and tell him to meet us there good you've got any idea what this is all about no I haven't not as yet but it looks good for you they certainly wouldn't be going to this trouble to get more evidence against you but I can't figure out why we're going over to Trent Hall I can't see what that's got to do with me the chances are Lee has found some evidence that's going to be in your favor and in order to see the evidence we've got to go to some room in Trent Hall it's over my head I can't figure it out but I'm sure glad I've got a feeling now that maybe they'll find out I wasn't to blame after all well if that's the case you can certainly thank your friend Lee for coming through for you at the right time I'll see so please all right he did you notice the way he answered the questions Captain Lockhart asked him yes I did it was like pulling teeth to get him to say anything against you oh he's a pal hey Jerry oh Harold I don't know what I'm supposed to be talking to you or not you think it's okay no I don't know I guess so how about it Captain Radford I can't see where we're doing it huh boy are you lucky you don't know what this is all about though do you know do you well I know something what is it Linwell do you know why the courts adjourned at Trent Hall I know part of it oh come on in out with it you really think it's okay to tell I don't want to get any trouble over certainly we'll find out in a couple of minutes anyway but you can relieve Dugan a little by giving him some advanced information if you have any well one thing I know the courts are going over to Reds room red Morrison what for Linwell well that's the part I don't know well and how do you know we're going over to Reds room then because Lee and I went over there while you were in the court Marshall and Lee found something it's sure gonna help you found out something what do you find I don't know but he said he had enough proof now to prove that you didn't lose miss saddle and besides he said he was sure sure red did it you mean Phillips can show proof that Morrison was the one that caused the accident that's what he told me red Morrison what how could he well well I don't know what this is all about but well red was one of the last ones out to the field yesterday afternoon sounds kind of funny I hope your friend Lee isn't building up something in his mind that he can't back up with facts did Lee go into Trent Hall sure how else did he get in the Reds room boy sure took an awful chance I told him he's taken an awful chance when he did it but he said it was worth the chance if he could help you you're right to get Lee is a pal of yours he's been at Farrell's long enough to know what upperclassmen do to please when they're caught in Trent Hall how about you Harold did you go in with them sure but it's okay for me to go into Trent Hall today what do you mean today well I made your netcast orderly this afternoon oh let's get into this room quickly man I hope your troubles are over Jerry now thanks are go ahead to stand over by the window next to the dresser there's a good place for you yes all right all right gentlemen the reason we adjourn to this room is to investigate the claim Cadet Lee Phillips presented to Captain Bogart and myself Phillips came over to this room while the court martial was in session in the cadet officers club room now I'm aware that Phillips being a plebe isn't allowed in Trent Hall we can overlook that and view of the fact that he claims to have discovered startling evidence all right Phillips you may address the court now in this wardrobe closet our cadet Morrison's regulation boots this boot here if you look closely you'll see a piece of hay caught in the heel excuse me how do we know that you didn't figure this out to help Jugans but you didn't plant this piece of hay in the boot I know it didn't I was right here with him go ahead Phillips well the hay is only one thing now these gloves hanging here at or into it too there are a few white horse hairs in the seam of the right glove I'll continue now Phillips Morrison step forward yes sir are these your boots and gloves yes sir did you wear these regulation boots to classes yesterday yes sir did you wear these boots or your riding boots that mounted drill practice yesterday I wore my riding boots sir splendor is the only white horse at Fair Oaks is that right yes sir were you riding him yesterday no sir I come in why yes Dr. Campbell step right in just in time doctor now Morrison but a half hour before you would do with the stables for drill practice yesterday you were in my mechanical drawing class right yes sir you asked me to excuse you said you didn't feel well and that you wanted to see the doctor dr. Campbell yes captain did cadet Morrison pay you a visit at the infirmary yesterday between 2 30 and 3 o'clock no he didn't were you at the infirmary at that time doctor yes I was but Morrison didn't come over there thank you doctor when I got out of the classroom and got out of the air I felt much better sir never mind that Morrison Major Metcalf men of the court I'll carry on from here yes sir Morrison yes sir when you asked me to excuse you I allowed you to leave didn't I yes sir but as I said I own when you left you went directly to the stables wearing your regulation boots you went to the stall in which the horse splendor is kept you loosened the synth strap on that horse in order to cause an accident to Paul Warren just in order to make a place for yourself as pivot man on the riding team and so you could ride that horse is that true quiet men well Morrison was it you who loosened that synth strap yes sir yes I did it but I didn't think what I was doing I didn't realize it was going to make so much trouble I didn't want to hurt Warren as much as I did but I quiet man all right Morrison you'll go with me immediately to see Major Davis but first before your fellow officers and the cadets from your supposed to inspire as a cadet officer at Fair Oaks Military Academy I want to say that in all my years of service active and here at FMA I've never seen or heard of such a low trick I probably shouldn't be saying anything to you at this time should probably leave it in Major Davis's hands but I can't help it I feel sorry for you Morrison when you go out to battle the world that's all Major Metcalf you come with Morrison me you're dismissed men may go to your quarters or you can before you go I want to say Jerry I'm very very sorry about this you're a real man thank you sir congratulations do good I'm that Jerry yeah I don't know it it all happened so fast I ah gee Lee I just knew you didn't do it Jerry and and I well I did the best I could to prove it nice work Phillips thanks doctor yeah I don't know how to thank you Lee I'll forget it Jerry you do the same for me you bet I would
