Henry Fonda: Chief Marshal Simon Fry

Quotes 

• Marshal Simon Fry : I'm taking you both back to Prescott.

  Dorothy Mansfield's Brother : What's the charge?

  Marshal Simon Fry : Well, you could say "resistin' an officer" but, to tell you the truth, you're going to help me test a theory.

  Dorothy Mansfield's Brother : I don't get ya.

  Marshal Simon Fry : Well now, if you were a peace officer instead of Dorothy Mansfield's brother, what would you think if you heard the foreman of the jury and the trial judge were both dead - murdered!

  Dorothy Mansfield's Brother : Dorothy never killed her husband and they sent her up for life! Still doesn't mean we had anything to do with whay you're talkin' about.

• Marshal Simon Fry : This is Arizona Territory in 1880. Being Chief Marshal, I'd seen lots of killings that didn't make sense. But the mystery in the shooting of Judge Bonny and Joe Howard and the threat against Marshal Herk Lamson of Silver City tied into a pattern that went back a couple of months to the Mansfield murder trial. Somebody didn't like the verdict and was saying it with bullets. And I was playing a hunch that it was Dorothy Mansfield's brothers.
