The only text evidence I see referring to Judge Taylor's thoughts on Bob Ewell's testimony have to do with correcting his language and off color comments.

Mr. Gilmer’s back stiffened. “Are you the father of Mayelle Ewell?” was the next question.
“Well, if I ain’t I can’t do nothing about it now, her ma’s dead,” was the answer.
Judge Taylor spoke up in a way that made all the laughter in the courtroom die down, “Are you the Father of Mayella Ewell?”
“Yes sir,” Mr. Ewell said meekly.
Judge Taylor spoke again and informed Mr. Ewell that he will no longer take any obscene speculations on any subject from anybody in this courtroom.
