summation the least we can say is that the defendant and adams was drunk and driving while drunk makes him guilty of gross culpable negligence that he was drunk has been disguised by the defense counsel but it cannot be denied that michael adams was drinking is a fact we know that the waiter and the bartender have both testified that mike adams had at least  maybe some of you still think that he wasn't drunk if he wasn't drunk why did the girl claire roberts refused to ride in his car when he left the tavern she had had only ginger ale to drink she was the only member of the party whom we can actually believe was entirely so she rode to the tavern in his car didn't she but after the drinking she wouldn't get back and now i know that she has refused to testify as to his drunkenness but her actions have spoken far more accurately than her words even his friend tom wilkins wouldn't drive back with you now would you consider your verdict i ask you to remember the conditions under which the accident occurred it did not occur on occur the accident occurred on the stretch of absolutely straight highway the road top was dry and wide enough for two the sheriff's department has testified that mr pritchard car was traveling at a reasonable rate of speed or headlights were functioning they can be no question about this and when adams was driving under the influence of alcohol because every painful and critical condition the court is excused jane nielson from appearing before you but i wish you could see what a beautiful girl looks like with one leg and i wish you could see mr pritchard lying and all just as there was only one verdict that you can return to this court and that verdict is guilty law in one case we cannot act on general principles for myself i can't see how anybody could say he was not negligent he was brash too sure of himself and he had been drinking if we met him go free every other highway rod he will think he can get by with manslaughter to we can't let him go free he'll just go on telling neither can we send a man to prison unless we are sure h remind you mr blank you're the prosecutor couldn't find one person to testify against hours what are they talking about i'm sure we made the best presentation we possibly could and we have a good hard working jury there i don't you give up all you just hold on my own mike whatever the jury says remember you are not a criminal whatever the verdict didn't cut off a girl's leg do you want that killer driving on the highway maybe he'll kill you the next time you're not sticking to the point if i am down to make a point i'm sticking to it w i'll never be able to say thank the right boy now that is over mike i can say that i think it was your good manners and your record that saved you that that credit not like are you going tommy have to do that i have to do it alone yeah i guess you do you must have been acquitted yes i wa what is it going to do to you know you know it's supposed to act like this you're supposed to tell me you wish i were dead in the other neck he won't be able to work for at least three years why do you worry about  trial i've been thinking about it maybe we were lucky we were part of it got to believe that i don't know when i've told her everything how poor we're going to be how hard you and i are going to have to work that there isn't any money for a honeymoon right now but it doesn't seem to make much difference i was your father is he being friendly he's trying you been working at the figures again i'm beginning to get the feel of how it's going to be this is your automobile liability twenty thousand plus the money i've saved four thousand seven hundred plus three hundred dollars to dig up some place makes twenty five thousand dollars the first payment i am i'm sorry my about the savings it would have helped you through college you mustn't worry about that dad college is the least i can give up i'll make out i don't worry you've been such a fine engineer let's don't talk about it please howard how did you figure the second payment we have eighteen months to pay that twenty thousand  have to dig up in eighteen months between us well get the contract and we can get the work done i'm going home tomorrow to get started you and jane  you don't even get sore at me i'm your father wouldn't you like to to curse me to yell at me just once anyway with that being intelligent you'll have enough to live down as it is boy remember when you've made the last payment on that last mortgage you'll be over forty  you want to tell me goodbye please sir what is this one last man to face up to hand away yes or no i'm clearing the base and i want you to know i'm sorry for the lousy publicist and for the press attacks against you and i wish to god every one of us could know what you've learned in the last six months yes sir you faced up to everything all along the line i like that adams goodbye and good luck
