    In Hangman's House he is a spectator at the steeplechase.
    He knocks the fence down and leads
    the other spectators toward the winning horse.


    Duke is seen:-


    5 mins
    into the movie, in silhouette, Duke is seen
    standing on the gallows, awaiting execution.
    Although the scene is just a few seconds long,
    it is clear from the victims stature that it is him.


    26 mins
    Duke is seen in a head shot
    as another victim, in the tortured judges mind
    as he greets death.

    38 mins

    Duke is clearly seen, in four quick shots,
    that total 10 seconds.
    In the most shown clip of Duke's participation,
    he seen at the horse race,
    pounding on the fence until he finally crashes through it!
