Episode 33. - Thanks, Brother Jones, for holding my seat. - Please be seated. - Come on, children.
- This court is now in session. Everybody rise. - On the night of August 21, I was just leaving my office to go home when Bob... Mr. Ewell came in. Very excited, he was, and he said to get to his house as quick as I could, that his girl had been raped. I got to my car and went out there as fast as I could. She was pretty well beat up. I asked her if Tom Robinson beat her like that. She said, "Yes, he had." I asked if he'd taken advantage of her. She said, "Yes, he did." That's all there was to it. - Thank you. - Did anybody call a doctor, Sheriff? - No, sir. - Why not? - I didn't think it was necessary. She was pretty well beat up. Something sure happened, it was obvious. - Sheriff, you say she was mighty beat up. In what way? - She was beaten around the head. There were bruises already coming on her arms. She had a black eye starting. - Which eye? - Let's see, it was her left. - Now, was that... Was that her left, facing you, or looking the way that you were? - Yes, that would make it her right eye. It was her right eye, Mr. Finch. Now I remember. She was beaten up on that side of her face. - Which side, again? - Her right side. She had bruises on her arms. And she showed me her neck. There were definite finger marks on her gullet. - All around her neck, at the back of her throat? - I'd say they were all around.
