When Walter revived , Dr. Small would have removed him , but Ralph insisted that his testimony should be heard . Under pretense of watching his patient , Small kept close to him . And Walter began the same old story about Dr. Small 's having arrived at the office before eleven o'clock , when Bud came up behind the doctor and fastened his eyes on the witness with the same significant look , and Walter , with visions of the penitentiary before him halted , stammered , and seemed about to faint again . `` If the court please , '' said Bronson , `` this witness is evidently intimidated by that stout young man , '' pointing to Bud . `` I have seen him twice interrupt witness 's testimony by casting threatening looks at him , I trust the court will have him removed from the court-room . '' After a few moments ' consultation , during which Squire Hawkins held his wig in place with one hand and alternately adjusted his eye and his spectacles with the other , the magistrates , who were utterly bewildered by the turn things were taking , decided that It could do no harm , and that it was best to try the experiment of removing Bud .
