Lute Borden is accused of killing Amos Judd. There's only one person who saw him do it, a family man with a wife and two small children. Lute has a brother, Rafe, who tries to scare Charley Wagner out of testifying by threatening not him, but his family. That's where Hoby Gilman steps in. He's supposed to try and protect the family, and he does.
The ending was so characteristic of Hoby! He looks quite shaken with the fact that he had to kill a man to protect the family. He wasn't going to let this man walk away, we know that. Hoby is a good man full of integrity, but when it comes to women and children, he finds that sometimes he has that sometimes things are gray, not black and white!
