It sounds peaceful and it isn't.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
There will be by the time White Herb gets through.
He is the peacemaking his man I ever met outside
of you, matt who was the telehead down at the
depot anyway, No, Thorn, he just a spoiled kid kid,
couldn't be much younger than you.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Sure, but Thorn never grew up.
Speaker 8 (04:18):
His father has coddled him and protected him and gotten
him out of scrapes ever since he was a fuck.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
He's never had to be a man. That was Big
Jack Whitt.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Nursing, Big Jack Big Jack Finley. No, you know him,
I've heard of him.
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Well, that figures he owns about half of Kansas. Starr
in a box, runs more cars, and he can.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Count, swings a lot of weight. And Dodge had too much.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Mister Dolon, mister Dolan.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Somebody's head the dog holler. They'd come into town today
and he oh, excuse me, it's all right, Chester. Let
you shake hands with him. Don't mind if I shake
with my left hand. Kind of habit. Yeah, I know,
mister Dylan has the same habit he would. How about
dinner tonight?
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Man?
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Sure? Sure? How long are you being dodge?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Not long?
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Just till I finish the chore? Oh, but sure? Have
anything to do with Big Jack?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Finley might say, So it's gonna kill him.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
All right, Dylan, turn him loose. You forgot to close
the door. Mister Finley, You're going.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
To turn my boy loose, so I'm gonna have to
do it for you.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
You got a rid of habeas corpus.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Writ Thorn didn't commit no cry charges are dropping, disorderly,
disturbing the peace, and attempted assag with a deadly weapon.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
I was you still need a writ, But man.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Nathan does what I say, and you know it. Don't
you think I can get a rid?
Speaker 7 (06:04):
I'm sure you can and will you always do?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Then what's the point, Dylan. It's just a lot of
useless red tape.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
It's a law.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
Close the door on the way out.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
All right, Thorn, didn't I tell you, Big Jackel get
me out? When are you going to learn? You can't
slave the speech? The law can't touch a Findley. You
ought to get smart, Marshall like you? Sure like me?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Hi, big Jack?
Speaker 7 (06:45):
You okay? So I'm fine anything else? S Lister Finley?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Why, oh my boy here is a little boisterous sometimes,
I know, high spirited.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
You understand, huh huh?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So so I want to put a stop to all
this nonsense of yours, arresting him every time he kicks
up his.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Heels a bit.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Go on, Well, I'm offering you a job, let's say,
protecting my interests two hundred.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
A month and no work.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Naturally, I see, we understand each other perfectly, no work,
of course.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
All I have to do is just shut my eyes
whenever Junior here breaks the law.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I said, we understand each other. There's no need to
elaborate on it, Dylan.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
There's a big need.
Speaker 8 (07:30):
Only how do I explain to a person like you
that some men don't wear a price tag?
Speaker 7 (07:35):
How do I explain how.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
I feel about a so called respectable citizen making.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
The law has private doormat?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Hey, you're nothing but the stupid gunman. I've always thought
you were Unstan. You took the part of Doc Holiday
against my son.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
I kept Thorn from committing suicide.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, you sided with a notorious killer against an important
citizen of this community. I'm telling you, Dody, I don't
want him in Dodge tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Doc may be a gunfighter, but he's clear with a law.
Finley and a better man than your son will ever be.
What boy that hurts? Doesn't it cute?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I'm serving notice, Mushall, you run the killer of Dodge City,
or I'll do it myself.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Big Jack Finley, cattleman and self made king of Southern Kansas,
no better or worse than most of the men carbon
empires out of the West until love for his son
blinded into the fact that Thorn Fenley had gone bad.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
And from here on I knew the war was on
between Big Jack and me.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
So Big Jack Bentley's gonna run me out of town
unless I do it first.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
For home, I do something naughty man, and.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
He's threatened a man's life, and just between friends, man,
anything else stuck not murder, murder? I think give him
an even bright with you.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
That's still murder, don't you think you better tell me
about it. What if I don't tell you how, then
my job still Warren Finley and try to protect him.
You're a tough man to be friends with, Matt. It
applies to you too, de.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Guys, maybe bead At that didn't realize how I put
you on the spot by spopping off my good intentions. Sorry,
forget it, forget it. You want to talk to me.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
All right? Remember girl named Ruth Davis died.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
In a riding accident a few months ago. I always
wondered if it wasn't suicide. She lost her brother two
weeks before then. No accident, no suicide.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
You're sure? Sure? You know?
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Ruth and her brother ran a ranch along A man
started pestering Ruth and she hated him. Her brother kicked
the man off the ranch. The spell of drag ghost.
Ruth's brother made it look like a robbery. You have
any proof of this? Yeah, Ruth was afraid to go
to the law, so she's not letter to me. Hen't
read it yourself. She says the man was Finley and
says she expects him to try and shut her up.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
A good That doesn't mean it's big Jack.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
I went to see Ruth's folks. They had her belongings
among them.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
I found this.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Watch Chaine engraved JF.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
On the class Jack Finley. You see why I've got
to kill hi, Matt. He forced Ruth's horse over that
cliff shore. But do you still think she died accidentally?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
No?
Speaker 7 (10:50):
But who's responsible? Was something for a court to decide. Court?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
With Finley's money and influence, he wouldn't spend five days
in jail even if he was convicted.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Which you wouldn't be. He doesn't know him.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
The court maybe not, but it's still the most powerful
man in the state against a dead girl who's the
only friend is Doc Holiday, How do you think a
judge will decide?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Doc?
Speaker 8 (11:10):
I'm going to ask you a favor, make it one
I can give. I got an idea, but you must
let me handle it my way. Give the law a chance,
all right, Matt. I can wait, thank you.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
I'll keep this letter in chain for a while, all right.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
But if the law fails, I'll brace Big Jack finily
when he walks out of the courthouse, and you'll be
bracing two men.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Do Finley and me come in?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
H An Marshall looks like to be a fine dame.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
Well, you're up kind of early just to bring me
a weather report, don't you, Judge Nathan.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Uh, oh, well, I wanted to see you and I
go right ahead.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Do you mind if I finished shaven?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Please do. I just thought i'd chat with you about
the lot of the friendlies.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Uh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
It seems a big Jack's very upset by your attitude.
I'm not surprised he's You're a little rough on your boy.
I am then his boys a little runner. Yeah, wow,
Raft Thorny is a high spirited like yesterday.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Yesterday it was just quaint high.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Tell me, Judge Nathan, how do you like being on
friendlies payroll? Uh? You know you used to be a
pretty decent person. Oh you can't talk to me? Yes,
I can. I'm setting a copy of Thorn's record of
the governor.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
Governor, and whether I'm sending the list of the rich
you've issued to get him out of jail and a
copy of the court records.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I've only tempered my justice with mercy, that's all.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
Thorn's been arrested for eighteen offenses, convicted of ten, spent
no time in jail, and payed a total of fifteen
dollars in fines.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
I'd say you've been very merciful.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
You said you were sending this to the governor. You
haven't actually mailed it yet.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
No, you got enough.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Not that I don't feel justified in any decisions I'd made,
But there's such a report might cause d talk.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
At the Capitain ruin your political hopes. Well, my conditions
are simple. Get off Finley's payroll now, very well, and
give me cooperation from here on, no matter who's involved.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Do that and I show the report.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Oh god, mister Dylon, troubles are making what kind of
trouble Chester?
Speaker 7 (14:05):
It's big Jack Finny. Mister Doty's rounding up his crew
at the Aliphraganza. They're going to ride Duck Holiday out
of town on a rail. Did you cut yourself shaving?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
We will return for the second act of gun Smoke
in just a moment, but first, don't forget. Starting Mondays,
CBS Radio's tremendous news staff will start bringing you the
complete coverage of the Democratic Convention in Chicago. As you
found during the Republican Convention, CBS Radio never misses, So
starting Monday, stay with CBS Radio all day. At evening
(14:57):
for the Democratic Convention. Now the second act of gunsmoke, Doc.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
Doc, Wake up, Doc, it's Matt. Oh, what's up? Trouble,
lots of trouble. Big Jack Finley is organizing a little
citizens committee of his own hand picked men coming to
West Court.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
You out of town on a rail. Yeah, that's the
general idea. Here, take a shotgun.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Yeah, I'll hide it under the covers, modest like, I'll
wait against the wall here, good, and it'll put him
in a crossfire.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
That comes to that. There's enough. I'm wearing a spot
and likely who.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
You are, you're risking your neck to save me some bruises.
When I owe you, friend, Matt, it's my job, still one,
I owe you, all.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Right, stop right there, I'll shoot the man who takes
another step.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
You think you're going to stop us stealing?
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I think so.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
Me and Duck Duck show him, Doc, sure thing, Marshall,
Look boys, surprise. I sure do love surprises, Helen.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I've got a dozen men with me.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Well sure about six of them.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
More die, betle if you don't crawl out of here fast.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
And guess who'll die first? Big Jack here.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
There mon Crief always figured you for some brains get
your boss out of here quick.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Sure talking, says big Jack.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Shut up on cree you showing yellow ovens man.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
There's nothing here for us to die over.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Let's and so in Finny that greener doc is holding
has eighteen buck shopping.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Each barrel gets slaughtered if he triggers that thing.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
And I'm getting Edgie Finley in me.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
If i get a coffin spell, I'm liable to shoot
without meaning to.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
All right, this is twice you have made a findly
back down. You'll never get a third chance.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Let's get out of here, Matt.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
When you're gonna arrest it when I'm ready, not long,
I hope, not getting impatient to see that man dead.
Speaker 10 (17:54):
I got your message, Marshall.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
I hope it's important. It is, moncrief. How long you
have been foreman for Big Jack? Fifteen sixteen years? You
know him pretty well. Would he be the kind to
kill a girl?
Speaker 10 (18:09):
No, of course not, because he'd kill a man if
he got mad enough.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
But he wouldn't kill no girl, Marshall. But I have
proof that he did a girl and her brother. But
it doesn't set right. I'm hoping you can help. What's
your proof, Marshall? A letter that names Finley is the
man Ruth Davis wrote it for. She died Ruth Davis,
and this watch.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Chain was fonded with her belongings engraved on the I.
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Know I was with Big Jack when he bought this
chain in Chicago.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It was right after his wife died. Big Jack wear
it all the time.
Speaker 10 (18:44):
You wrote the right hunch, Marshall, Wow, Thorn is your man, just.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Like your figure.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
He had a n for the Davis girl, but he
kept it quiet because he didn't want to know.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
She throwed him over.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
But the watch chain.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Jack gave that to Thorn on.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
His twenty fifth birthday. Whole ranch contestify to that.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Good all right, thank you man. Grief.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
You try and arrest Thorn. Why it's Big Jack believes
Thorn killed that girl. It'll break his.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Heart broke her neck. If he don't believe it, then he'll.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
Protect Thorn and Marshall, there's not enough lawmn in the
state of Kansas to make Big Jack give up his son.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, oh you Marshall and John Holiday. Doctor is Judge
Nathan uh huh Holiday?
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Oh yes, I've heard of you. I've heard of you too,
Judge Wonder, which has heard the worst. Uh, what's that? Why,
I judge, I'm here on business.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Oh of course, come in, won't you in my study
here so we won't be disturbed?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (20:28):
What is it, Marshall?
Speaker 8 (20:29):
I want you to swear out a warrant for Thornon
Finley's arrest charge murder.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
You sure you want to go with me? Doctor, I'm sure?
Speaker 7 (20:51):
All right? Hold up your right hand. No, Matt, you
wouldn't make me a lama. If you go, you go
as my deputy. I'm not letting you make the's a
private fight, and with.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
My friends if they hear I wore a star. All right, man,
it's your show.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
You swear to uphold and enforce the laws of this community,
the state of Kansas, and the United States, to the
best of your ability as Deputy Marshalls.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
So help you God. All of that over that I
swear here put on this batch all right, man?
Speaker 5 (21:27):
You know I'm feeling this badge is going to cramp my.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Style something terrible. Better breathe our horses going up through
this patch. We've still got a good ride ahead.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
How far about ten miles? What do you think, Matt?
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Will they fight? Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Grass, some clouds you don't pay high you'll creeps on
the other side of the path behind you.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
That's being smart, Dylan.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Queen will drop you if you touch a gun butt.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
You're handy at this bushwacking, not shit, Thorn.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
If that's all right, My slug seems to have bounced
off his thick skull.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Good, and let's pull your teeth.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Better.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
You do it with your left hand reached down in across. Slow,
put your gun out with.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Your fingertips and toss it away.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
Nervous, just cautious, or maybe this queen doesn't exist, Haunt Thornon.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Queen Queen's one of Dad's man but I pay him
extra to work for me. Any more questions, I guess not.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
Here's my gun the rifle. Next, I got a penknife
in my pants pocket.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
You know why Holiday came to Dodge?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Yeah, yeah, I guess you do.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Who you wouldn't be riding with him? And he's not
going to tell any stories to my dad or anyone else.
You can't kill us.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
He is not planning on killing you.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
And what have you got planned? A Queen's kind of
a magician.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
He's going to make Holiday just disappear. Folks won't care
much about one of his kinds I would.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
I care so much I had to hang you for it.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
No.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
No, with Holiday gone, it's your word against mine, and
he won't be able to approve a thing, Dylan, you
sure of that. I'm sure otherwise I take care of
you along with Holiday. Now get out and start walking
back to town. It's like I told you, law can't
touch if Finley.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
It was no time for heroic so I walked. When
I reached the turn, I cut back through the rocks,
but it was too late.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
They were gone with him, the horses, guns, and doc Holiday.
Two miles up the road, I found my horse turned loose.
With a mindful of cold hate. I raced onto the
star in a box on the front porch of the
ranch off and one of king jack Men.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Hold it right there.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Out of my way, mister, I'm in no mood to
shake hands. Why you head long man? You don't hear well?
Where's Holiday?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
How should I know? Get off my rage?
Speaker 7 (24:55):
And where's that prized son of yours? Trot him out?
I want him? Do you know?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Why not for Thorn? Put that gun away?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Oh no, this is just in case the Marshall loses
his tenth.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
I've lost it. Junior.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Sure, Dylan, I've had all. I'm going to stand from you.
We just think you have.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Where's holiday? Thorn? Right, Queen?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Take him holiday? Why having the faintest idea?
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Where is Queen?
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Dad writing finch linement?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
What do you, marshall? We don't know where your friend is.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
You're under arrest or what's said? Ask him to show
the warrant here rated findlay.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Oh no, no, that that's not possible to judge. Wouldn't
you a warrant without proof?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
He has proof, Thorn, This is a lie.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Thorn couldn't be guilty of murder.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
No, take a look at his face.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Son, Daddy's trying to frame me.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Holiday, Mattock.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
It sounds worse stuck.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Yeah, I got orders to go to Arizona.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
Air is dry there better for my lung going. I
thought I might. Why it invited me to visit him?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
He and Virgil Morgan is the law down there, a
little mining town called Tombstone.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
It sounds peaceful and it isn't.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
There will be by the time White Herb gets through.
He is the peacemaking his man I ever met outside
of you, matt who was the telehead down at the
depot anyway, No, Thorn, he just a spoiled kid kid,
couldn't be much younger than you.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Sure, but Thorn never grew up.
Speaker 8 (04:18):
His father has coddled him and protected him and gotten
him out of scrapes ever since he was a fuck.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
He's never had to be a man. That was Big
Jack Whitt.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Nursing, Big Jack Big Jack Finley. No, you know him,
I've heard of him.
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Well, that figures he owns about half of Kansas. Starr
in a box, runs more cars, and he can.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Count, swings a lot of weight. And Dodge had too much.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Mister Dolon, mister Dolan.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Somebody's head the dog holler. They'd come into town today
and he oh, excuse me, it's all right, Chester. Let
you shake hands with him. Don't mind if I shake
with my left hand. Kind of habit. Yeah, I know,
mister Dylan has the same habit he would. How about
dinner tonight?
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Man?
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Sure? Sure? How long are you being dodge?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Not long?
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Just till I finish the chore? Oh, but sure? Have
anything to do with Big Jack?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Finley might say, So it's gonna kill him.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
All right, Dylan, turn him loose. You forgot to close
the door. Mister Finley, You're going.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
To turn my boy loose, so I'm gonna have to
do it for you.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
You got a rid of habeas corpus.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Writ Thorn didn't commit no cry charges are dropping, disorderly,
disturbing the peace, and attempted assag with a deadly weapon.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
I was you still need a writ, But man.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Nathan does what I say, and you know it. Don't
you think I can get a rid?
Speaker 7 (06:04):
I'm sure you can and will you always do?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Then what's the point, Dylan. It's just a lot of
useless red tape.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
It's a law.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
Close the door on the way out.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
All right, Thorn, didn't I tell you, Big Jackel get
me out? When are you going to learn? You can't
slave the speech? The law can't touch a Findley. You
ought to get smart, Marshall like you? Sure like me?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Hi, big Jack?
Speaker 7 (06:45):
You okay? So I'm fine anything else? S Lister Finley?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Why, oh my boy here is a little boisterous sometimes,
I know, high spirited.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
You understand, huh huh?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So so I want to put a stop to all
this nonsense of yours, arresting him every time he kicks
up his.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Heels a bit.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Go on, Well, I'm offering you a job, let's say,
protecting my interests two hundred.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
A month and no work.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Naturally, I see, we understand each other perfectly, no work,
of course.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
All I have to do is just shut my eyes
whenever Junior here breaks the law.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I said, we understand each other. There's no need to
elaborate on it, Dylan.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
There's a big need.
Speaker 8 (07:30):
Only how do I explain to a person like you
that some men don't wear a price tag?
Speaker 7 (07:35):
How do I explain how.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
I feel about a so called respectable citizen making.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
The law has private doormat?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Hey, you're nothing but the stupid gunman. I've always thought
you were Unstan. You took the part of Doc Holiday
against my son.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
I kept Thorn from committing suicide.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, you sided with a notorious killer against an important
citizen of this community. I'm telling you, Dody, I don't
want him in Dodge tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Doc may be a gunfighter, but he's clear with a law.
Finley and a better man than your son will ever be.
What boy that hurts? Doesn't it cute?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I'm serving notice, Mushall, you run the killer of Dodge City,
or I'll do it myself.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Big Jack Finley, cattleman and self made king of Southern Kansas,
no better or worse than most of the men carbon
empires out of the West until love for his son
blinded into the fact that Thorn Fenley had gone bad.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
And from here on I knew the war was on
between Big Jack and me.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
So Big Jack Bentley's gonna run me out of town
unless I do it first.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
For home, I do something naughty man, and.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
He's threatened a man's life, and just between friends, man,
anything else stuck not murder, murder? I think give him
an even bright with you.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
That's still murder, don't you think you better tell me
about it. What if I don't tell you how, then
my job still Warren Finley and try to protect him.
You're a tough man to be friends with, Matt. It
applies to you too, de.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Guys, maybe bead At that didn't realize how I put
you on the spot by spopping off my good intentions. Sorry,
forget it, forget it. You want to talk to me.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
All right? Remember girl named Ruth Davis died.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
In a riding accident a few months ago. I always
wondered if it wasn't suicide. She lost her brother two
weeks before then. No accident, no suicide.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
You're sure? Sure? You know?
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Ruth and her brother ran a ranch along A man
started pestering Ruth and she hated him. Her brother kicked
the man off the ranch. The spell of drag ghost.
Ruth's brother made it look like a robbery. You have
any proof of this? Yeah, Ruth was afraid to go
to the law, so she's not letter to me. Hen't
read it yourself. She says the man was Finley and
says she expects him to try and shut her up.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
A good That doesn't mean it's big Jack.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
I went to see Ruth's folks. They had her belongings
among them.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
I found this.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Watch Chaine engraved JF.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
On the class Jack Finley. You see why I've got
to kill hi, Matt. He forced Ruth's horse over that
cliff shore. But do you still think she died accidentally?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
No?
Speaker 7 (10:50):
But who's responsible? Was something for a court to decide. Court?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
With Finley's money and influence, he wouldn't spend five days
in jail even if he was convicted.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Which you wouldn't be. He doesn't know him.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
The court maybe not, but it's still the most powerful
man in the state against a dead girl who's the
only friend is Doc Holiday, How do you think a
judge will decide?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Doc?
Speaker 8 (11:10):
I'm going to ask you a favor, make it one
I can give. I got an idea, but you must
let me handle it my way. Give the law a chance,
all right, Matt. I can wait, thank you.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
I'll keep this letter in chain for a while, all right.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
But if the law fails, I'll brace Big Jack finily
when he walks out of the courthouse, and you'll be
bracing two men.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Do Finley and me come in?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
H An Marshall looks like to be a fine dame.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
Well, you're up kind of early just to bring me
a weather report, don't you, Judge Nathan.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Uh, oh, well, I wanted to see you and I
go right ahead.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Do you mind if I finished shaven?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Please do. I just thought i'd chat with you about
the lot of the friendlies.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Uh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
It seems a big Jack's very upset by your attitude.
I'm not surprised he's You're a little rough on your boy.
I am then his boys a little runner. Yeah, wow,
Raft Thorny is a high spirited like yesterday.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Yesterday it was just quaint high.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Tell me, Judge Nathan, how do you like being on
friendlies payroll? Uh? You know you used to be a
pretty decent person. Oh you can't talk to me? Yes,
I can. I'm setting a copy of Thorn's record of
the governor.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
Governor, and whether I'm sending the list of the rich
you've issued to get him out of jail and a
copy of the court records.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I've only tempered my justice with mercy, that's all.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
Thorn's been arrested for eighteen offenses, convicted of ten, spent
no time in jail, and payed a total of fifteen
dollars in fines.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
I'd say you've been very merciful.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
You said you were sending this to the governor. You
haven't actually mailed it yet.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
No, you got enough.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Not that I don't feel justified in any decisions I'd made,
But there's such a report might cause d talk.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
At the Capitain ruin your political hopes. Well, my conditions
are simple. Get off Finley's payroll now, very well, and
give me cooperation from here on, no matter who's involved.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Do that and I show the report.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Oh god, mister Dylon, troubles are making what kind of
trouble Chester?
Speaker 7 (14:05):
It's big Jack Finny. Mister Doty's rounding up his crew
at the Aliphraganza. They're going to ride Duck Holiday out
of town on a rail. Did you cut yourself shaving?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
We will return for the second act of gun Smoke

Speaker 8 (15:24):
Doc, Wake up, Doc, it's Matt. Oh, what's up? Trouble,
lots of trouble. Big Jack Finley is organizing a little
citizens committee of his own hand picked men coming to
West Court.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
You out of town on a rail. Yeah, that's the
general idea. Here, take a shotgun.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Yeah, I'll hide it under the covers, modest like, I'll
wait against the wall here, good, and it'll put him
in a crossfire.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
That comes to that. There's enough. I'm wearing a spot
and likely who.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
You are, you're risking your neck to save me some bruises.
When I owe you, friend, Matt, it's my job, still one,
I owe you, all.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Right, stop right there, I'll shoot the man who takes
another step.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
You think you're going to stop us stealing?
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I think so.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
Me and Duck Duck show him, Doc, sure thing, Marshall,
Look boys, surprise. I sure do love surprises, Helen.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I've got a dozen men with me.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Well sure about six of them.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
More die, betle if you don't crawl out of here fast.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
And guess who'll die first? Big Jack here.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
There mon Crief always figured you for some brains get
your boss out of here quick.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Sure talking, says big Jack.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Shut up on cree you showing yellow ovens man.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
There's nothing here for us to die over.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Let's and so in Finny that greener doc is holding
has eighteen buck shopping.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Each barrel gets slaughtered if he triggers that thing.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
And I'm getting Edgie Finley in me.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
If i get a coffin spell, I'm liable to shoot
without meaning to.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
All right, this is twice you have made a findly
back down. You'll never get a third chance.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Let's get out of here, Matt.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
When you're gonna arrest it when I'm ready, not long,
I hope, not getting impatient to see that man dead.
Speaker 10 (17:54):
I got your message, Marshall.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
I hope it's important. It is, moncrief. How long you
have been foreman for Big Jack? Fifteen sixteen years? You
know him pretty well. Would he be the kind to
kill a girl?
Speaker 10 (18:09):
No, of course not, because he'd kill a man if
he got mad enough.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
But he wouldn't kill no girl, Marshall. But I have
proof that he did a girl and her brother. But
it doesn't set right. I'm hoping you can help. What's
your proof, Marshall? A letter that names Finley is the
man Ruth Davis wrote it for. She died Ruth Davis,
and this watch.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Chain was fonded with her belongings engraved on the I.
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Know I was with Big Jack when he bought this
chain in Chicago.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It was right after his wife died. Big Jack wear
it all the time.
Speaker 10 (18:44):
You wrote the right hunch, Marshall, Wow, Thorn is your man, just.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Like your figure.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
He had a n for the Davis girl, but he
kept it quiet because he didn't want to know.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
She throwed him over.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
But the watch chain.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Jack gave that to Thorn on.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
His twenty fifth birthday. Whole ranch contestify to that.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Good all right, thank you man. Grief.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
You try and arrest Thorn. Why it's Big Jack believes
Thorn killed that girl. It'll break his.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Heart broke her neck. If he don't believe it, then he'll.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
Protect Thorn and Marshall, there's not enough lawmn in the
state of Kansas to make Big Jack give up his son.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, oh you Marshall and John Holiday. Doctor is Judge
Nathan uh huh Holiday?
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Oh yes, I've heard of you. I've heard of you too,
Judge Wonder, which has heard the worst. Uh, what's that? Why,
I judge, I'm here on business.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Oh of course, come in, won't you in my study
here so we won't be disturbed?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (20:28):
What is it, Marshall?
Speaker 8 (20:29):
I want you to swear out a warrant for Thornon
Finley's arrest charge murder.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
You sure you want to go with me? Doctor, I'm sure?
Speaker 7 (20:51):
All right? Hold up your right hand. No, Matt, you
wouldn't make me a lama. If you go, you go
as my deputy. I'm not letting you make the's a
private fight, and with.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
My friends if they hear I wore a star. All right, man,
it's your show.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
You swear to uphold and enforce the laws of this community,
the state of Kansas, and the United States, to the
best of your ability as Deputy Marshalls.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
So help you God. All of that over that I
swear here put on this batch all right, man?
Speaker 5 (21:27):
You know I'm feeling this badge is going to cramp my.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Style something terrible. Better breathe our horses going up through
this patch. We've still got a good ride ahead.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
How far about ten miles? What do you think, Matt?
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Will they fight? Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Grass, some clouds you don't pay high you'll creeps on
the other side of the path behind you.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
That's being smart, Dylan.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Queen will drop you if you touch a gun butt.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
You're handy at this bushwacking, not shit, Thorn.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
If that's all right, My slug seems to have bounced
off his thick skull.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Good, and let's pull your teeth.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Better.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
You do it with your left hand reached down in across. Slow,
put your gun out with.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Your fingertips and toss it away.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
Nervous, just cautious, or maybe this queen doesn't exist, Haunt Thornon.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Queen Queen's one of Dad's man but I pay him
extra to work for me. Any more questions, I guess not.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
Here's my gun the rifle. Next, I got a penknife
in my pants pocket.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
You know why Holiday came to Dodge?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Yeah, yeah, I guess you do.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Who you wouldn't be riding with him? And he's not
going to tell any stories to my dad or anyone else.
You can't kill us.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
He is not planning on killing you.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
And what have you got planned? A Queen's kind of
a magician.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
He's going to make Holiday just disappear. Folks won't care
much about one of his kinds I would.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
I care so much I had to hang you for it.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
No.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
No, with Holiday gone, it's your word against mine, and
he won't be able to approve a thing, Dylan, you
sure of that. I'm sure otherwise I take care of
you along with Holiday. Now get out and start walking
back to town. It's like I told you, law can't
touch if Finley.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
It was no time for heroic so I walked. When
I reached the turn, I cut back through the rocks,
but it was too late.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
They were gone with him, the horses, guns, and doc Holiday.
Two miles up the road, I found my horse turned loose.
With a mindful of cold hate. I raced onto the
star in a box on the front porch of the
ranch off and one of king jack Men.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Hold it right there.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Out of my way, mister, I'm in no mood to
shake hands. Why you head long man? You don't hear well?
Where's Holiday?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
How should I know? Get off my rage?
Speaker 7 (24:55):
And where's that prized son of yours? Trot him out?
I want him? Do you know?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Why not for Thorn? Put that gun away?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Oh no, this is just in case the Marshall loses
his tenth.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
I've lost it. Junior.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Sure, Dylan, I've had all. I'm going to stand from you.
We just think you have.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Where's holiday? Thorn? Right, Queen?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Take him holiday? Why having the faintest idea?
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Where is Queen?
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Dad writing finch linement?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
What do you, marshall? We don't know where your friend is.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
You're under arrest or what's said? Ask him to show
the warrant here rated findlay.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Oh no, no, that that's not possible to judge. Wouldn't
you a warrant without proof?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
He has proof, Thorn, This is a lie.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Thorn couldn't be guilty of murder.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
No, take a look at his face.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Son, Daddy's trying to frame me.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Don't let him get away with this.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
Oh I won't. I won't get out. Dun't man, open
your eyes.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
This is not gonna house you hurt me.
Speaker 2 (25:56):

believe my son. So get off this ranch, get out
of the state. You let me see you again, So
help me. I'll kill you myself and get me.

my boat just for men like him. Born.

a chance I might cross you. Yeah, and i'd have

I'm afraid of. It's a long man. Good luck, Doc,
