Neville Brand: Bart Craddick

Quotes 

• Lamar Kendall : Could he have gone for help?

  Bart Craddick : Mm - it coulda happened that way. At least, he wasn't there for the attack.

  Lamar Kendall : Mrs. Wheeler says he was. She saw him shot down, tryin' to save some children, just before her team bolted.

  Bart Craddick : She says that?

  Lamar Kendall : That's what she says. She saw him die.

  Bart Craddick : Then he must be dead.

  Lamar Kendall : And you must be mistaken.

  Bart Craddick : And I must be mistaken.

• Bart Craddick : It'll look like you two killed each other. That way, I'll be in the clear, and Nancy Wheeler will be a sure enough widow both ways from the nine-spot.

  Lamar Kendall : You're gonna have trouble with Nancy. She's not overly fond of you.

  Bart Craddick : She will be. I'm not a man that runs away from a woman.

• Lamar Kendall : According to the statutes of all civilized communities, the removal of a body from a grave without permission of a duly constituted court is a serious crime. Craddock, who gave you permission to dig up the deputy?

  Bart Craddick : Nobody. I was accused of murder; the proof of my innocence was buried in the ground - so I dug it up.
