Yes it triked me a good idea

So i made some

- It's overhere, on the dresser

- Put it where you like

Eat it yourself

Taste your custard

I put a lot of effor in this custard

and you're going to eat it

- No, you can't do it

- Oh I know I'm going to do it

You... you are a bastard

You bastard

He should serve enough time

Pervert like that should be f***ed

Hanging, it is too easy

if he is guilty, he shoul die

that's what they say

- When's your birthday, Joe?

- What?

- It's horoscopr, I read it for you

- Where's Ella?

Elle's gone. Come and sit down

What do you mean Ella's gone darts?

Elle's gone to see Les.

What you think you done?

I'm leaving

Should have done it long time ago

You are going anywhere?

No, I'm leaving looking for another job

You're looking for somewhere to stay?

Supposr I am?

- I'll find you a lodger

- I'm not going to stay for long

May be a month

- Well, interested?

- Yes, how much?

I'll introduce you to my wife

I work at night. You'll see her more than me

You have to pay in advance.

Your room is there

I go to work

I see you in the morning

See you later

Dady!

I suppose you 're our last lodger

Get up, he'll be here soon

There were the bargemen

who found her body, isn't it?

- Anyone you know?

- What?

- The bargemen. Did you know them?

- I knew one of them

You have been in a trial?

- No. You?

- No

I don't want to, either

I think I might go along to it

Just to see what it like, you know

Pencils? Give me small something

How do you describe your relationship with the deceased?

We were flatmate but I don't know

I recently moved in so...

We were friendly rather than friends

And what do you know her relationship with the accused?

I think she met him when he came

to fix plumbing in the flat

I only saw him once, so

couldn't from an opinion

But I know she was lonely

Her last boyfriend recently has gone to China

Thank you

You should have been rich, Joe

then it might have been

I loved you

Will you write to me?

I'll send you a letter from China

- You are not going oot China

- May be I am

I'm sorry

What are you sorry about?

It happened

We ran our course

Goodbye, Joe

What you do that for?

I've no use for that

- Must be worth something, no?

- Not to me

I saw him wiht her

I recognize his face

Thank you. No further questions.

I'd like to call Mr. Leslie Gold.

Can you please describe for us the circomstances

Under which you found the body of the deceased?

We were with a cargo of coal to be delivered

and I saw a body bloating by

and I fished it out, with Joe

- Joe?

- My mate

I see

Was ms Dimly dead when you...

fished her out of the water?

- Yes, she was dead already

Thank you

No further questions

We have no further questions

Thank you, you may step down

So? You think he's guilty?

- The murder is not proved yet

- What do you mean?

They didn't prove that it was

They know that

Woman don't get undressed for nothing

- She had sex

- You'll see

They'll hang him

Poor beggar

According to the examination

of the deseased's shoes

it was found that they matched

exactly those of the accused

Also the fibers found on her finger nails

exactly matched the material of the accused's shirt

There could be no mistakes

The chances that they could belong to

anyone else are practically none

with the evodence of sexual activities

and the main of reason

in my opinion there is overwhelming evidence

that the deceased had intimate contact

with the accused

very shortly before her death

- Objection

These facts do not have

any relevance for the jury

Overruled

I wasn't with her then. I swear

I never went near the river

Silence! Silence! Keep order.

Just answer the question, Mr. Gordon.

What was the question, sir?

What did you do after removing the deceased's clothes?

I never took her clothes off

We just went for a walk together

- You was with her

- No, not then

I see

Were you aware that the deceased was pregnant?

No. No, it wasn't me. No

I didn't. I didn't

- You new she was pregnant?

- No

You planed to get rid of her before

your wife discover your dark secret

- No

- She invited you to her house as a tradesman

She trusted you as a tradesman man

You abused this position of trust

You preyed on her loneliness

I alone was with Catherine Dimly

at the time she died

The drowning was accidental

There was no mueder

I cannot identify myself without

the risk of finding myself

in the same shoes as Mr. Gordon.

I made a mistake of not reporting

the accident at the time

and I have that on my conciense

If you condemn Mr. Gordon,

you'll be condemning an innocent man

Ladies and gentlemen, who speaks for you?

Have you reached a verdict?

Yes

What is your verdict?

We find the accused guilty as charged

Is your verdict unanimous or by majority?

Unanimous

Would the accused please stand

Mr. Gordon, do you have anything to say

before the sentence is passed?

I swear to god I'm innocent

You put to us in beautiful cloths!

- You thought about the child?

- Silence!

Now clear the court

M. Daniel Gordon, you have been found guilty

of the murder of Ms Catherine Dimly.

After taking in considerations

and the circomstamces of this case

I have no choice but to impose

the maximum penalty

I therefore sentence you to be

by the neck until you are dead

may God have merci on your soul

Teke the prisoner out

Ladies and gentlement of the jury

Thank you for your civic duty

All rise!
