Speaker 2 (00:19):
Around Odge City and in the territory on West. There's
just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.
And that's where the US Marshal and the smell of
gun smoke.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Gun smoke the story of the violence that moved west
with Young America, the story of a man who moved
with it. Matt Dylan, United States Marshall, stay there. Next
time you hear a crackling noise in your kitchen, better
get up and investigate. Maybe somebody just couldn't wait for
his breakfast of crackling crisp post toasties. And that's a
(01:12):
treat you shouldn't miss. Post toasties, you know, are the
heap good corn flakes. Why, after one taste, I'll bet
anything you'll agree with me. Post toasties is just the
best thing that's happened to corn since the Indians discovered it.
There's nothing quite like sweet kernel corn flavor when it's
toasted right in toasted in the crisp fresh corn flakes. Man,

Speaker 4 (02:20):
To push him, Bryant. I hired you because I ain't
been up here before. How far is it to Dodge?
Oh fifty miles? Maybe five easy days? Then I don't
want to bring them steers in too poor. It's the
men that's got poor this trip, not the steers. There's
(02:41):
a lot of juice left and the men too much.
Maybe look at him. Oh, it's that old Indian that
rode in a while ago. They're just having a little
fun with him. I'd better take it easy. No telling
how many warriors he's got waiting somewhere. Hey Cotton, Yeah,
(03:02):
tell it Indian to come over here. I want to
talk to him. He probably just wants to steer out
of the herd, and I'm tired of give him good
peop away?

Speaker 3 (05:09):

Speaker 6 (05:10):

Speaker 5 (05:14):
Tovi, you men with much honor among white men in army.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
This ain't the army run them off? I said, come on, Chief, I.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Really said it.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
Well, that sounds nice, miss kidding.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
I thought so too, Chester, until he got real drunk
and told me his mother was the first woman to
be hung south of San Antonio.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Who was who hung her brother?
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The way?
Speaker 13 (07:13):

Speaker 3 (07:34):
You tell him my own name? Why shut up?
Speaker 14 (07:37):
So, Marshall, that indian's gonna get itself hurt?
Speaker 3 (07:43):

Speaker 5 (07:45):

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Uhuh? Now that's to Bill? You know him? What's the
trouble Wiser?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
He keeps following us around, says it's gonna kill us.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
To Bill, that doesn't say I like him? Well, it's true, kids,
you asked me.
Speaker 14 (08:04):
He's been haunting us for four days, just stands around
staring Atison.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Saying we're gonna die.
Speaker 15 (08:11):
I'd have shot him long ago, but I hear that's
against the law around.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Here where you men from Wyoming Territory? What you know, Tobill,
We've been in Dodge a couple of weeks.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I've seen him around here.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I wa'ts the trouble between you.
Speaker 12 (08:23):
Well, we we played a little joke on him. Is
all made him mad?
Speaker 14 (08:31):
I guess we told him he could get a job
guiding trail herds into dodge.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Give him a letter.
Speaker 14 (08:38):
He thought the letter said how good he was, but
it really said he was a thief.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
To run him out of cab I seen, and he
tried to use your letters, I guess.
Speaker 14 (08:49):
So he went away for a couple of days, and
since he got back, he keeps saying he's gonna kill us.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
It's getting on my nerves.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Marshall.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I'll shoot him. She'll shoot anybody, and you'll hang for it. Wiser.
I'll wait here, I'll go talk to him.
Speaker 11 (09:04):
I gotta go to work, Matt okay kidding.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I'll see you later.
Speaker 11 (09:06):
And you two heroes, you're pretty funny. I hope he
does kill you.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Why you watch him? Chester? Yes?
Speaker 9 (09:26):
Hello, Tobio, Hello Marshall, Tobil.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Those two men over there say that you've threatened to
kill them.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Is that true?
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Did I?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
They told me the story, Tobyl. I'm sorry it happened,
but you can't kill men for that.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
To be old but still proud.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You know what will happen if you do kill him,
don't you You'll go to jail and probably hang for it.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
No, Tobill, never in jail, man with much honor.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Look Tobil, I got no use for Wiser and Driven.
Neither one of them could be much good. But the
law is the law.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
And Tobil no kill.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Tobil's medicine kill, make very strong medicine against him.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
How you work all the medicine you want, but don't
you do any killing yourself, and stay away from him, Tobil.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You're making them jumping. There might be trouble if you don't.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Tobill not prayed.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
They carry guns, Tobil, or you've got some knife, remember that.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Mm I remember?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
All right?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Tell him Marshall.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, you men didn't understand him. He's not threatening to
kill you himself. He's making Indian medicine against you.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That's all.
Speaker 8 (10:54):
Well, Well, then why does he keep saying saying we're
gonna die?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
And why is he always following us? Or he thinks
say his medicine will kill you? I guess he wants
to be there when it does. There's no harm in it.
And I'm wanting you again, both of you leave him alone.
You do anything to that old man, and I'll throw
you in jail.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
Look, Marshall, let let her have started all this. That
was Weiser's idea, not mine.
Speaker 15 (11:19):
It sure was any idea we've ever had been mine?
Oh I never did need you dirty?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Oh was that soul?
Speaker 12 (11:26):
Who did your dirty work up to Cheyenne?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
You did? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Yeah, Floor, I sure didn't.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
You still owe me for it?
Speaker 15 (11:32):
I shut up, So you ain't gonna do nothing about that,
Indian Marshall.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I know Tobillo pretty well, and I'll personally guarantee his word.
Nobody's gonna do anything about him, including you. Good day, gentlemen,
(12:06):
mister Dylan. Oh, good morning Chester.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
Uh, good morning, mister Dylan. They just carried that fellow Weisser.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Up the docks. Wow, Oh what happened to him?
Speaker 9 (12:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Let's go see, just.
Speaker 16 (12:26):
See it, Chester, No, sure, I just saw a couple
of men coming downstairs and they said I'd better go
get you.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
That's all they said.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Oh hello, man, what happened to Weiser? Doctor?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Well, for one thing, he's been stabbed, man, Oh, bad, bad.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Enough to kill him.
Speaker 17 (12:44):
The men who carried him up here said they found
him lying in an alley this morning. He's been dead,
Oh three four hours, I'd say. And there's something else, man,
take a look here. Why somebody hit him on top
of the head dog.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
No, no, they didn't hit him.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
He's been scalped Chester Indian style.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Say how are morning appetites at your house? Well, if
they're pretty drowsy, here's a real good way to wake
them up. Set a bowl full of post toasties the
heat good corn flakes at everybody's place. Just watch your
folks take notice when they see how crisp post toasties are,
and wait till they taste that sweet kernel corn flavor.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Toast it.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
In bet your whole TRIBEI agree with you. Post toasties
are the best thing that's happened to corn since the
Indians discovered it. And here's a thought. If you'd like
to make a good thing even better, try topping post
toasties with your favorite fruit. You'll find that's a mighty
good way to start the day. The fact is, it's
a downright delicious way. So next time you shop, be
(14:15):
sure to ask for post toasties. They are the heap
good corn flakes you'll see.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Post toasties, heat good corn flakes. The best thing that's
happened to corn since the Indians is converted. Keep good
corn flakes, Post toasties, keep good corn flakes.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Now back to gun smoke.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It was pretty hard for me to accept the idea
that to Bill had murdered and scalped Weiser.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
But the evidence plain enough.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
The old Kiawa had been a highly valued army scot
for over thirty years, and then it moved into a
little hut at the edge of Dodge when he grew
too old for active service. He lived quietly, had never
given anyone any trouble at all before.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
But why is erin?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Durbin had injured his pride with her so calm joke
and Toby that evidently reacted and the only way he
knew now I.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Had to arrest him.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Chester and I walked out towards hut, and just as
we reached it, Durban came running up.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
We told you, Marshall, didn't we We.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
Told you that engine was gone when it kills somebody,
did Jews see it happened?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Durban?
Speaker 7 (15:47):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
No, I went to bed.
Speaker 12 (15:50):
Why he was doing a little gambling, A dirty red skin.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
He got him on the way home. It hasn't been
proved either it of course he did it. Who I
should scalp a man? I don't know.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
But here look at that here, Marshall, look you right here,
lay hanging right on to his hut.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Like like he was bragging about it.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
Why, mister Dillon, that's your scalp.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Yeah, he's drying it in the Sun's what he's doing.
He did a murdering death.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
You too, Stay here, I'll see if he's inside. Yes,
come outside, Tobill.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I got you now, Tobill, let's bring him up.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Marshall.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Right, he.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Tobill, did you kill Weisser last night? Way, sir?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Here?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Stabbed with a knife and scalped? He die urbin there?
Speaker 5 (17:05):
He died too, you see, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
He even admits I told you to stay out of
this debn not on me? Strike, Tobill. Did you kill him?
Speaker 5 (17:18):
To Bill? No kill? Tobyll's madicine kill?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
And what's Weiser's scalp doing there? Scalp right there?
Speaker 11 (17:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Whys a scalp?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
All right? Where's your knife? Tobyll? Here?
Speaker 5 (17:39):
My knife?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Look out, Marshall here, use it now. I won't give
me your knife, Tobill. Mm and it looks clean to me.
Speaker 12 (17:51):
Wait a minute, of course, he's had plenty of time
to get clean.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
You think I killed Wiser with knife? Did you medicine
kill Wiser?
Speaker 5 (18:05):
To Bill? No kill?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
At Tobil I'm gonna have to arrest him. He'll have
to go to jail.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Jail, no for deal man with too much genre for jail.
Speaker 12 (18:18):
I'm sorry to Bil, but you'll get a trial. Let's
hang him now, Marshall. Indians don't need no trial.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I'm the law here. Durbin or don't you start or
anything like that.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Big disgrace to Bill in jail.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I know, but I can't help it. Chester, get that scalp.
We will need it for evidence.
Speaker 10 (18:42):
Yes, you you ready to go to supper?
Speaker 8 (19:03):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, I'll be right with you, Doc. Chester, you better
stay here and watch Toby. All right, you can go
eat when I get back.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I'll see you later.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
And I hear to Bill is pretty unhappy about being
locked up.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Matt.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I have a long talk with him. Doc. I'm afraid
he's going to be locked up for a long time.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Oh why is that man?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Well, no judge will hang him on circumstantial evidence, but
he'll probably go to prison. He hasn't any kind of
an alibi, Doc, not at all.
Speaker 10 (19:38):
And if I know Tabill, he'd rather hang than be
in prison.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I'm afraid you're right. What's that? It came from a
jail Come on, what happened? Chester? Somebody shot Tobia right
through the bars. He'd dead?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
You sure look to let me take a look at him.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
All right, doctor, get out the front, Chester and come
up to the alley.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yell. If you see anybody, I'll cover them back. Alright,
I'm coming Chester. What is it?
Speaker 16 (20:23):
I saw Germany You run out of the next alley
and went into the alpha.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
Gander there.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Alright, let's go get him.
Speaker 16 (20:30):
Must have been him that done it sure looks like it.
Speaker 9 (20:43):
There he is God at the bar.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Get out of the way, Chester, Dar.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You're under arrest, Urban Unbuckle your gun belt and drop
it on the floor.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
But for Marshall. But shouldn't Tobill? I've seen Chester standing
there when I come out the alley. Should have shot
him to never mind the talk? Drop your gun?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
No, shouldn't. Tobill was a bad enough mistake, Derbin.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
You finding out I did it? Was you? See?
Speaker 8 (21:34):
I think Tobill must have saw me get wise shirt
at the trial.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
He he he, he'd just started talking.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Now he was home alone making medicine against you. He
had no alibi at.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
All, and I I killed him for nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, I hadn't killed him he'd probably been convicted and
you would have gone free.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
Look, Marshall, you can't prove ooh that I I killed Wiser.
No well, and I ain't gonna hang for shooting no engine,
not mean.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Don't try it to him? Why not you? You?
Speaker 9 (22:29):
You hit him both times, but you don't. Yeah, won't
me to take care of it?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
No, somebody else can do it, but you and me go.

rode in a while ago. They're just having a little
fun with him. I'd better take it easy. No telling
how many warriors he's got waiting somewhere. Hey Cotton, Yeah,
(03:02):
tell it Indian to come over here. I want to
talk to him. He probably just wants to steer out
of the herd, and I'm tired of give him good
peop away?

a beggar, and a thief. What he wouldn't steal a
hound pup couldn't pull out.
Speaker 3 (04:28):

Well, I'll take the word of a white man any day.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Wait?
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Let her lie? They fool me?
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Tovi, you men with much honor among white men in army.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
This ain't the army run them off? I said, come on, Chief, I.
Speaker 6 (05:24):

Speaker 11 (06:55):
Do you know what one of them told me once?
Speaker 9 (06:57):
He said, I reminded him of his mother?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Really said it.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
Well, that sounds nice, miss kidding.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
I thought so too, Chester, until he got real drunk
and told me his mother was the first woman to
be hung south of San Antonio.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Who was who hung her brother?
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The way?
Speaker 13 (07:13):
He did oh now, miss kidding? No man would hang
his on Mama. Why it just ain't, Marshall. Yeah, we
come to warn you, warn me about what mister? My
name ain't mister, it's Weisser. Partner's name here is Derby.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
You tell him my own name? Why shut up?
Speaker 14 (07:37):
So, Marshall, that indian's gonna get itself hurt?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
That indian across the street there see him?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Uhuh? Now that's to Bill? You know him? What's the
trouble Wiser?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
He keeps following us around, says it's gonna kill us.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
To Bill, that doesn't say I like him? Well, it's true, kids,
you asked me.
Speaker 14 (08:04):
He's been haunting us for four days, just stands around
staring Atison.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Saying we're gonna die.
Speaker 15 (08:11):
I'd have shot him long ago, but I hear that's
against the law around.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Here where you men from Wyoming Territory? What you know, Tobill,
We've been in Dodge a couple of weeks.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I've seen him around here.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I wa'ts the trouble between you.
Speaker 12 (08:23):
Well, we we played a little joke on him. Is
all made him mad?
Speaker 14 (08:31):
I guess we told him he could get a job
guiding trail herds into dodge.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Give him a letter.
Speaker 14 (08:38):
He thought the letter said how good he was, but
it really said he was a thief.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
To run him out of cab I seen, and he
tried to use your letters, I guess.
Speaker 14 (08:49):
So he went away for a couple of days, and
since he got back, he keeps saying he's gonna kill us.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
It's getting on my nerves.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Marshall.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I'll shoot him. She'll shoot anybody, and you'll hang for it. Wiser.
I'll wait here, I'll go talk to him.
Speaker 11 (09:04):
I gotta go to work, Matt okay kidding.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I'll see you later.
Speaker 11 (09:06):
And you two heroes, you're pretty funny. I hope he
does kill you.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Why you watch him? Chester? Yes?
Speaker 9 (09:26):
Hello, Tobio, Hello Marshall, Tobil.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Those two men over there say that you've threatened to
kill them.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Is that true?
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Did I?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
They told me the story, Tobyl. I'm sorry it happened,
but you can't kill men for that.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
To be old but still proud.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You know what will happen if you do kill him,
don't you You'll go to jail and probably hang for it.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
No, Tobill, never in jail, man with much honor.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Look Tobil, I got no use for Wiser and Driven.
Neither one of them could be much good. But the
law is the law.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
And Tobil no kill.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Tobil's medicine kill, make very strong medicine against him.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
How you work all the medicine you want, but don't
you do any killing yourself, and stay away from him, Tobil.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You're making them jumping. There might be trouble if you don't.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Tobill not prayed.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
They carry guns, Tobil, or you've got some knife, remember that.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Mm I remember?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
All right?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Tell him Marshall.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, you men didn't understand him. He's not threatening to
kill you himself. He's making Indian medicine against you.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That's all.
Speaker 8 (10:54):
Well, Well, then why does he keep saying saying we're
gonna die?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
And why is he always following us? Or he thinks
say his medicine will kill you? I guess he wants
to be there when it does. There's no harm in it.
And I'm wanting you again, both of you leave him alone.
You do anything to that old man, and I'll throw
you in jail.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
Look, Marshall, let let her have started all this. That
was Weiser's idea, not mine.
Speaker 15 (11:19):
It sure was any idea we've ever had been mine?
Oh I never did need you dirty?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Oh was that soul?
Speaker 12 (11:26):
Who did your dirty work up to Cheyenne?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
You did? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Yeah, Floor, I sure didn't.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
You still owe me for it?
Speaker 15 (11:32):
I shut up, So you ain't gonna do nothing about that,
Indian Marshall.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I know Tobillo pretty well, and I'll personally guarantee his word.
Nobody's gonna do anything about him, including you. Good day, gentlemen,
(12:06):
mister Dylan. Oh, good morning Chester.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
Uh, good morning, mister Dylan. They just carried that fellow Weisser.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Up the docks. Wow, Oh what happened to him?
Speaker 9 (12:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Let's go see, just.
Speaker 16 (12:26):
See it, Chester, No, sure, I just saw a couple
of men coming downstairs and they said I'd better go
get you.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
That's all they said.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Oh hello, man, what happened to Weiser? Doctor?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Well, for one thing, he's been stabbed, man, Oh, bad, bad.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Enough to kill him.
Speaker 17 (12:44):
The men who carried him up here said they found
him lying in an alley this morning. He's been dead,
Oh three four hours, I'd say. And there's something else, man,
take a look here. Why somebody hit him on top
of the head dog.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
No, no, they didn't hit him.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
He's been scalped Chester Indian style.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Say how are morning appetites at your house? Well, if
they're pretty drowsy, here's a real good way to wake
them up. Set a bowl full of post toasties the
heat good corn flakes at everybody's place. Just watch your
folks take notice when they see how crisp post toasties are,
and wait till they taste that sweet kernel corn flavor.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Toast it.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
In bet your whole TRIBEI agree with you. Post toasties
are the best thing that's happened to corn since the
Indians discovered it. And here's a thought. If you'd like
to make a good thing even better, try topping post
toasties with your favorite fruit. You'll find that's a mighty
good way to start the day. The fact is, it's
a downright delicious way. So next time you shop, be
(14:15):
sure to ask for post toasties. They are the heap
good corn flakes you'll see.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Post toasties, heat good corn flakes. The best thing that's
happened to corn since the Indians is converted. Keep good
corn flakes, Post toasties, keep good corn flakes.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Now back to gun smoke.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It was pretty hard for me to accept the idea
that to Bill had murdered and scalped Weiser.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
But the evidence plain enough.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
The old Kiawa had been a highly valued army scot
for over thirty years, and then it moved into a
little hut at the edge of Dodge when he grew
too old for active service. He lived quietly, had never
given anyone any trouble at all before.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
But why is erin?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Durbin had injured his pride with her so calm joke
and Toby that evidently reacted and the only way he
knew now I.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Had to arrest him.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Chester and I walked out towards hut, and just as
we reached it, Durban came running up.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
We told you, Marshall, didn't we We.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
Told you that engine was gone when it kills somebody,
did Jews see it happened?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Durban?
Speaker 7 (15:47):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
No, I went to bed.
Speaker 12 (15:50):
Why he was doing a little gambling, A dirty red skin.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
He got him on the way home. It hasn't been
proved either it of course he did it. Who I
should scalp a man? I don't know.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
But here look at that here, Marshall, look you right here,
lay hanging right on to his hut.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Like like he was bragging about it.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
Why, mister Dillon, that's your scalp.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Yeah, he's drying it in the Sun's what he's doing.
He did a murdering death.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
You too, Stay here, I'll see if he's inside. Yes,
come outside, Tobill.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I got you now, Tobill, let's bring him up.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Marshall.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Right, he.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Tobill, did you kill Weisser last night? Way, sir?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Here?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Stabbed with a knife and scalped? He die urbin there?
Speaker 5 (17:05):
He died too, you see, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
He even admits I told you to stay out of
this debn not on me? Strike, Tobill. Did you kill him?
Speaker 5 (17:18):
To Bill? No kill? Tobyll's madicine kill?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
And what's Weiser's scalp doing there? Scalp right there?
Speaker 11 (17:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Whys a scalp?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
All right? Where's your knife? Tobyll? Here?
Speaker 5 (17:39):
My knife?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Look out, Marshall here, use it now. I won't give
me your knife, Tobill. Mm and it looks clean to me.
Speaker 12 (17:51):
Wait a minute, of course, he's had plenty of time
to get clean.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
You think I killed Wiser with knife? Did you medicine
kill Wiser?
Speaker 5 (18:05):
To Bill? No kill?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
At Tobil I'm gonna have to arrest him. He'll have
to go to jail.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Jail, no for deal man with too much genre for jail.
Speaker 12 (18:18):
I'm sorry to Bil, but you'll get a trial. Let's
hang him now, Marshall. Indians don't need no trial.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I'm the law here. Durbin or don't you start or
anything like that.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Big disgrace to Bill in jail.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I know, but I can't help it. Chester, get that scalp.
We will need it for evidence.
Speaker 10 (18:42):
Yes, you you ready to go to supper?
Speaker 8 (19:03):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, I'll be right with you, Doc. Chester, you better
stay here and watch Toby. All right, you can go
eat when I get back.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I'll see you later.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
And I hear to Bill is pretty unhappy about being
locked up.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Matt.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I have a long talk with him. Doc. I'm afraid
he's going to be locked up for a long time.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Oh why is that man?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Well, no judge will hang him on circumstantial evidence, but
he'll probably go to prison. He hasn't any kind of
an alibi, Doc, not at all.
Speaker 10 (19:38):
And if I know Tabill, he'd rather hang than be
in prison.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I'm afraid you're right. What's that? It came from a
jail Come on, what happened? Chester? Somebody shot Tobia right
through the bars. He'd dead?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
You sure look to let me take a look at him.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
All right, doctor, get out the front, Chester and come
up to the alley.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yell. If you see anybody, I'll cover them back. Alright,
I'm coming Chester. What is it?
Speaker 16 (20:23):
I saw Germany You run out of the next alley
and went into the alpha.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
Gander there.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Alright, let's go get him.
Speaker 16 (20:30):
Must have been him that done it sure looks like it.
Speaker 9 (20:43):
There he is God at the bar.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Get out of the way, Chester, Dar.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You're under arrest, Urban Unbuckle your gun belt and drop
it on the floor.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
But for Marshall. But shouldn't Tobill? I've seen Chester standing
there when I come out the alley. Should have shot
him to never mind the talk? Drop your gun?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
No, shouldn't. Tobill was a bad enough mistake, Derbin.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
You finding out I did it? Was you? See?
Speaker 8 (21:34):
I think Tobill must have saw me get wise shirt
at the trial.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
He he he, he'd just started talking.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Now he was home alone making medicine against you. He
had no alibi at.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
All, and I I killed him for nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, I hadn't killed him he'd probably been convicted and
you would have gone free.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
Look, Marshall, you can't prove ooh that I I killed Wiser.
No well, and I ain't gonna hang for shooting no engine,
not mean.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Don't try it to him? Why not you? You?
Speaker 9 (22:29):
You hit him both times, but you don't. Yeah, won't
me to take care of it?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
No, somebody else can do it, but you and me go.
Give to ball a real fine berrier.
