Mr. Willis’1)testimony is not only 2)vague, it is 3)unsubstantiated. The substance I was looking for Mr. Simms was to come from you. Charlie Simms: I’m sorry. Trask: I’m sorry to Mr. Simms, because you know what I’m going to do in this as much as I can’t punish Mr. Havemeyer, Mr. Potter or Mr. Jameson and I won’t punish Mr. Willis.

It’s a path made of principle that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey. You hold this boy’s future in your hands, committee. It’s a valuable future, believe me. Don’t destroy it, protect it. Embrace it. It’s going to make you proud one day. I promise you. |
