Gun Smoke, starring William Conrad, The Transcrant story of the
(00:47):

of a man who moved with it.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first
man they looked for and the left. Yes, they want

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Kitty? Wait a minute, I remember.
Speaker 3 (06:06):

Speaker 6 (06:13):
Well you've been all these years.
Speaker 5 (06:14):

some twenty years.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
I didn't mean missieur, No, I guess you didn't. Ain't
fitting place.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
With the likes of you is it wasting time talking
to him.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
All but you work in here.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Huh yeah, good, Well, I have a little talk before
we leave town for all time sake.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
You going about your worktown.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
We'll see you later. Not they're going to do something
to him.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
They're just a couple of riders, you say, kiddy, that's
all I know about him. Maybe I can find out more. Oh,
I think Hook's gone out to his room. Excuse me kidding.
I'll be back in a little while. What are the
(07:38):
names of Bell centers at Hogley?
Speaker 5 (07:41):
You heard them?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, I heard them, but I don't know quite what
they were talking about.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
It's nothing, Martialls. I used to know metsal A, Missouri. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
They said something about Lawrence back in fifty six. They
were just talking Lawrence, Kansas. That was the first time
it was raided by Missourians under General Atchison.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Mother, you and Sentators and hug.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Where were with it?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Huh, all right, I'll tell you. I was there. I
raid it across the border with him. I helped them Sacklons.
I even killed a man. I killed him in cold blood, Marshall.
He was trying to give up. I mean I shot
him anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
The center's and hugg where. I don't hold that against shit.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
They not hardly. Oh they knew the man, but they
didn't care about that.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
And why are they after?
Speaker 9 (08:38):
The war didn't start at Fort Sumter in sixty one, Marshall,
It started in fifty six, right here in Kansas at launch.
So I'll never know why I killed that man, but
I swore I'd never killed another for any care.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
So I run away.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
There are a lot of men who didn't fight who but.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
I started out fighting and then quit. They don't forget that,
not Missouri. They do. Maybe I am a color I
don't know. But they're gonna kill me. Marshall. You you're
sure that I know them and I know what they're like.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
All right, Tuck, I want you to stay here and dodge.
And you killed, and now they've found you, they'll follow you.
You're safer in Dodge, and you'd be anyplace else, no,
I guess, So you leave it to me. You'll be safe.
Speaker 10 (09:51):
You went off.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
We don't go get him soon. Where's he gonna run to?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Ouglar is right? He isn't running anywhere.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, Oh, Marshall, huh, you're a huggler.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
You want something, Marshal, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I want you to leave arden Hook alone.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
We ain't gonna bother Hook, Marshall, not if you're a smart.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Little coward like that. I wouldn't feel right even touching him.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
What happened happened a long time ago. Why I keep
it alive?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Was you in the war Marshall?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah? Yeah, I was in the war. But it's all over,
and the sooner everybody forgets about it, the better we
might have won if it wasn't for cards like arden Hook.
All right, there's no usaw again with you. But Hook's
gonna stay here. And if anything happens to him, anything
at all, I got enough evidence on you too to
(10:46):
hang you.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Too.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Bad you found out about all this Marshall, Yeah, I
guess there's nothing we can do now. Centers, you mean
we're gonna let that little card go?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Yeah, we'll let him go.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
Cares about him anyway, By Marshall.
Speaker 10 (11:21):
It's awful hot today, man.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Well that's the sun, Doc, It's it's the sun that.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Makes it hot.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I was only making a comment.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
I wasn't asking for a scientific explanation.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Oh excuse me, Doc, I didn't understand what you wanted.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Well, now, that you've started it.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
I can tell you what the heat.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Does to some people.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Oh good, you you tell me about that?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Hold hellout?
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Just uh?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Has either one of you saw arden Hook today?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
No?
Speaker 10 (11:52):
I haven't seen him for the past few days.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Why, Chester, Well, if a j wingates cooking point.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It might mean a job working it.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Jebb's always said he'd never have anybody working for him. Well,
they ain't for a job.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Why would he be looking for him?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Oh? I figure that's Jeb's business, don't you.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Here's miss Kitty.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Maybe you know where he's at.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I don't know why you're so concerned. Chester, Well, I still.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Think it made a job for him.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Oh, looking, miss Kitty, and you saw Ardenhook?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Any words, it's really important, No, Chester, not since he
left us Noon left before.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Well, Jeff Wing finally found him and they left.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Where'd they go?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Kitty? Jeff gave him a job.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Matt hired him on Claire. See what did I tell you? See?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
There?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You were?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Right? Chester?
Speaker 9 (12:43):
Yeah? Well, I wish him luck, But I can't say
arden Hook working on a ranch some though.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
He's about the last man i'd take out. Matt.
Speaker 10 (12:52):
I've got an idea.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
What but I just remember something. Well, tell us it's
nothing you don't already know if you just have thought
of it. Yeah, but I didn't think of it.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Dog. You ever hear of lou Wingate?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah, Jebb's talked about him in time or two.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
He talks about him a lot.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I went him on a duck. Lou Wingate was killed
in the first raid on Lawrence in fifty cents, right,
shot down when he was trying to give up the
way Jebb always tells users and Hogler, they went to
Jebb and told him who killed his brother.
Speaker 10 (13:26):
So he hired arden Hook hired him so's he.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Can have him out there alone where there'll be no witness. Chester,
Go get our horses. Going to be dark before we
get there, now, step.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Easily, trust me, m.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
But I still don't know why we left our horses
way back yonder.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I just kept behind that wagon on the side of
the barn. And I'll tell you him.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
He look here, jebling Gate sitting with his back the window.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's out of do's not.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
A reason why make you're doing. Somebody's coming. I think
they followed us.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Oh, I don't know, but they weren't far behind us.
I don't let 'em see you.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
The household people who want to see what going on? What?
Speaker 9 (14:58):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Good?
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Audiences a curiously Yeah, hey, look at that Senters sitting duck.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We can put a rifle bullet through him from here.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
He's oh, Huggler, why not?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Well jib Wingate said he was gonna kill Hook and
make it look like an accident in me.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, then why not let him do it? Cause i'mat
Hug killed another way.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
I want that smart Marshal Dylan to hang him, and
now I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Make him do it.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
How kill wyn Gate? And everybody will think who'd done it?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
He's the only man who'd have a reason, ain't he? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Yeah, all we gotta say is he killed wyn Gate
cause he is afraid of it.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Still murdered. You're a smart older.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I like the idea of Marshall's Dylan having to hanging. Well,
go ahead you.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I'm gonna move out there Chester.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
You stay here right in the back.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
I got the finding a Holdler. He's hard and Hook
he's got a rifle. Put that rifle down.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Where'd you come from, Hug?
Speaker 5 (16:08):
I heard your horses coming in. I heard most of
what you were telling sinners.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
He's going to shoot this Hogler.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
I wouldn't shoot. Nobody ought to know that. And what's
the rifle for? Or shoot in the air to Warren Wingate?
I'll kid you. You do that maybe, but you won't
kill wing Gate.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Harden Hook was ready to give it his life for you, Jeff.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
I know, and I ain't very proud of myself. Marshall,
You've got no cause to be.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
You know.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I'd throw you in jail, but you haven't done anything yet.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
I want to do something.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah what, Hook?
Speaker 7 (17:39):

If you'll stay. I ain't sure I'm strong enough of
this kind of work. I don't know how to tell him. Marshall,
why don't you tell.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Him that you've got that kind of strength? Tell him
it takes a different kind of strength to be.

A brave man.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Thank you, Marshall. Will you stay, Hook, Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Stay our star William Conrad.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
I didn't mean missieur, No, I guess you didn't. Ain't
fitting place.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
With the likes of you is it wasting time talking
to him.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
All but you work in here.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Huh yeah, good, Well, I have a little talk before

Speaker 5 (06:44):
We'll see you later. Not they're going to do something
to him.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
They're just a couple of riders, you say, kiddy, that's
all I know about him. Maybe I can find out more. Oh,
I think Hook's gone out to his room. Excuse me kidding.
I'll be back in a little while. What are the
(07:38):
names of Bell centers at Hogley?
Speaker 5 (07:41):
You heard them?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, I heard them, but I don't know quite what
they were talking about.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
It's nothing, Martialls. I used to know metsal A, Missouri. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
They said something about Lawrence back in fifty six. They
were just talking Lawrence, Kansas. That was the first time
it was raided by Missourians under General Atchison.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Mother, you and Sentators and hug.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Where were with it?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Huh, all right, I'll tell you. I was there. I
raid it across the border with him. I helped them Sacklons.
I even killed a man. I killed him in cold blood, Marshall.
He was trying to give up. I mean I shot
him anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
The center's and hugg where. I don't hold that against shit.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
They not hardly. Oh they knew the man, but they
didn't care about that.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
And why are they after?
Speaker 9 (08:38):
The war didn't start at Fort Sumter in sixty one, Marshall,
It started in fifty six, right here in Kansas at launch.
So I'll never know why I killed that man, but
I swore I'd never killed another for any care.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
So I run away.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
There are a lot of men who didn't fight who but.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
I started out fighting and then quit. They don't forget that,
not Missouri. They do. Maybe I am a color I
don't know. But they're gonna kill me. Marshall. You you're
sure that I know them and I know what they're like.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
All right, Tuck, I want you to stay here and dodge.
And you killed, and now they've found you, they'll follow you.
You're safer in Dodge, and you'd be anyplace else, no,
I guess, So you leave it to me. You'll be safe.
Speaker 10 (09:51):
You went off.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
We don't go get him soon. Where's he gonna run to?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Ouglar is right? He isn't running anywhere.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, Oh, Marshall, huh, you're a huggler.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
You want something, Marshal, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I want you to leave arden Hook alone.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
We ain't gonna bother Hook, Marshall, not if you're a smart.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Little coward like that. I wouldn't feel right even touching him.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
What happened happened a long time ago. Why I keep
it alive?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Was you in the war Marshall?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah? Yeah, I was in the war. But it's all over,
and the sooner everybody forgets about it, the better we
might have won if it wasn't for cards like arden Hook.
All right, there's no usaw again with you. But Hook's
gonna stay here. And if anything happens to him, anything
at all, I got enough evidence on you too to
(10:46):
hang you.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Too.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Bad you found out about all this Marshall, Yeah, I
guess there's nothing we can do now. Centers, you mean
we're gonna let that little card go?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Yeah, we'll let him go.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
Cares about him anyway, By Marshall.
Speaker 10 (11:21):

Speaker 1 (11:26):

Speaker 4 (11:30):
I was only making a comment.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
I wasn't asking for a scientific explanation.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Oh excuse me, Doc, I didn't understand what you wanted.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Well, now, that you've started it.
Speaker 5 (11:39):

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Oh good, you you tell me about that?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Hold hellout?
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Just uh?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Has either one of you saw arden Hook today?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
No?
Speaker 10 (11:52):
I haven't seen him for the past few days.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Why, Chester, Well, if a j wingates cooking point.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It might mean a job working it.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Jebb's always said he'd never have anybody working for him. Well,
they ain't for a job.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Why would he be looking for him?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Oh? I figure that's Jeb's business, don't you.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
Here's miss Kitty.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Maybe you know where he's at.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I don't know why you're so concerned. Chester, Well, I still.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Think it made a job for him.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Oh, looking, miss Kitty, and you saw Ardenhook?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Any words, it's really important, No, Chester, not since he
left us Noon left before.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Well, Jeff Wing finally found him and they left.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Where'd they go?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Kitty? Jeff gave him a job.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Matt hired him on Claire. See what did I tell you? See?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
There?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You were?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Right? Chester?
Speaker 9 (12:43):
Yeah? Well, I wish him luck, But I can't say
arden Hook working on a ranch some though.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
He's about the last man i'd take out. Matt.
Speaker 10 (12:52):
I've got an idea.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
What but I just remember something. Well, tell us it's
nothing you don't already know if you just have thought
of it. Yeah, but I didn't think of it.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Dog. You ever hear of lou Wingate?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah, Jebb's talked about him in time or two.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
He talks about him a lot.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I went him on a duck. Lou Wingate was killed
in the first raid on Lawrence in fifty cents, right,
shot down when he was trying to give up the
way Jebb always tells users and Hogler, they went to
Jebb and told him who killed his brother.
Speaker 10 (13:26):
So he hired arden Hook hired him so's he.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Can have him out there alone where there'll be no witness. Chester,
Go get our horses. Going to be dark before we
get there, now, step.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Easily, trust me, m.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
But I still don't know why we left our horses
way back yonder.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I just kept behind that wagon on the side of
the barn. And I'll tell you him.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
He look here, jebling Gate sitting with his back the window.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's out of do's not.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
A reason why make you're doing. Somebody's coming. I think
they followed us.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Oh, I don't know, but they weren't far behind us.
I don't let 'em see you.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
The household people who want to see what going on? What?
Speaker 9 (14:58):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Good?
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Audiences a curiously Yeah, hey, look at that Senters sitting duck.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We can put a rifle bullet through him from here.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
He's oh, Huggler, why not?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Well jib Wingate said he was gonna kill Hook and
make it look like an accident in me.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, then why not let him do it? Cause i'mat
Hug killed another way.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
I want that smart Marshal Dylan to hang him, and
now I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Make him do it.
Speaker 1 (15:35):

Speaker 5 (15:39):
He's the only man who'd have a reason, ain't he? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Yeah, all we gotta say is he killed wyn Gate
cause he is afraid of it.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Still murdered. You're a smart older.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I like the idea of Marshall's Dylan having to hanging. Well,
go ahead you.

what you were telling sinners.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
He's going to shoot this Hogler.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
I wouldn't shoot. Nobody ought to know that. And what's
the rifle for? Or shoot in the air to Warren Wingate?

You've got no cause to be.
