No one spoke until Judge Whitford pointed out, in measured tones, that Henwood was surrounded in jail by men he had convicted. He explained how evidence convinced the jury that Henwood was guilty.

Henwood cut in. “May I interrupt?”

“No.”

“In talking, I forgot something. You will ruin my case. I would like to . . .”

“Very well. I thought you were through. Say anything further that you want.”

Henwood took up where he left off:

I believe it has been stated that I shot von Phul in the back. You have never shown that I shot von Phul in the back, and the evidence goes to show that the first shot might have struck him in the wrist. I am just as sure in my heart that the man was facing me as that I am facing you now, and that his first movement was to reach for his gun. The doctors brought by the state could not tell which direction the bullet went in his shoulder.

Now, there is not an American citizen who can satisfy himself in his own mind that after a man has struck a man and knocked him on the floor that [he] will immediately turn his back completely around. I have always claimed that the man was looking at me. I have always claimed that he put his hand on his hip pocket.

I think Mr. Chiles and Mr. Elliott will see the day when they are big enough to take me by the hand and say, when all of these things come out, that I have been wronged. All the truth is going to come out.
