Major Bolton:
[discussing the death of Reverend Hesse]
When he left Fort Edward, you knew that he was going to report back here to the authorities in Pietersburg.
Harry Morant:
I had no way of knowing what he was going to do.
Major Bolton:
But it would have been in your interest, would it not, to prevent him?
Harry Morant:
Well, I hardly know about that. All I do know is that someone prevented him, and I'm still here on trial.
Major Bolton:
I suggest that you instructed Leftenant Hancock to follow the Reverend Hesse and to shoot him!
Harry Morant:
I had sent a message to Colonel Hall in Pietersburg informing him of my intentions towards the Boer prisoners. I have nothing to hide.
Major Bolton:
I find that statement hard to believe.
Harry Morant:
Then I suggest, sir, that you recall Colonel Hall from India. He will confirm it. I don't mind waiting.
