Speaker 1 (00:12):
Gun Smoke brought to U by Chesterfield. Chesterfield packs more
pleasure because it's more perfectly packed. Thanks to ACCUAE, they
satisfy the most around that city and in the territory
on West, there's just one way to handle the killers
(00:34):
and the spoilers. And that's where the US Marshall and
the smell of guns smoke, guns smoke. William Conrad the

America and the story of a man who moved with

Speaker 1 (03:27):
This is professor Jacoby.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
He calls himself an artist of a camera.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Well forevermore so. There's one of them things I've been
hearing about it.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well, keep your hands, keep your hands off with my
good man. It's a very sensitive instrument. Oh yes, sir,
I'm sorry. Well you're Marshall Dylan. I take it, sir.
That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Well, I'm glad to meet you, Marshall. I was coming
to look you up directly, but naturally or one of
the subjects I most wish to immortalize with the camera.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh does that something? Certainly?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Certainly Western Marshall is one of our great heroes back east.
You don't say oh yes, yes, say yes. What's that
little ten for? Oh, that's where I do my developing, sir,
development of course, pyro and soda.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Do you understand well? And the plate must be developed
immediately before it drives. Now, miss, well, I'm as ready
as i'll ever be.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
If you'll just relax, Miss, I'm not going to shoot
you at all. Okay, See now that's not precisely what
I'm after.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
What we need is another subject. I beg your pardon,
another person. Ah you, sir? Would you step up? Please?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Meet you like that. You're going to immortalize old Toad.
Just come right over here.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
See that's it now, miss, If you'll just stand beside
him him well, and if for art's sake, you know,
and we want this to look absolutely authentic.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I think I'm gonna likes giddy.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I don't go get any ideas to That's fine.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
That's fine now, miss if you'll just look up at
him with that well you.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Know what I mean. No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Well, Professor, why don't you just take your pictures of
people the way you find them. They'll be authentic, of course, Martial,
I meant no offense.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Go ahead, Professor, where's he going knocking under that black cloth? Well,
you gotta have a hard time calling it that little box.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Don't take your eyes off the camera, and don't move
a muscle while I'm conting you, understand, I take a
big breath, Hold it.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Good, good, mister Dolan.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
You know I want to say that picture, kiddy, you
look like the camera was a rattlesnake.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Might as well. I'm glad it's over now, Marshall. Marshall,
maybe you will apply no thank you, professor. Maybe later
and perhaps I'll take one of these gentlemen. Uh you, sir,
you look like a gunfighter.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Perhaps may try to look and act like a gunman, Professor,
but he's not very desperate.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Oh oh, I see, well, perhaps you have someone in
your jail, Marshal. No, not at the moment.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I know what the Eastern public wants, sir. What it
wants to see dance, old girls and desperadoes, gunfighters, savage Indians,
the violence of the West. And it's the violence I'm
after most of all. That's what will sell my photographs, Professor.
And are you have to do is wait wait for
how long or maybe a few weeks when the trail
(07:08):
heards start coming. I haven't got a few weeks, Marshall,
And I guess we can't help you.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well, don't worry, Marshall.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'll manage now how you'll see. I'm a man of ideas, Marshall.
(07:40):
That whistling man Bobby Haggard really started something tonight. We'd
like to introduce a player piano that could have come
right out of a long branch and dodge.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Sitting packs more pleasure, packs more pleasure. Chesterfield packs more
pleasure because chester Fields more perfectly packed.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
It stands to reason a cigarette made better and packed better,
smokes better, tastes better, and Chesterfield is more perfectly packed.
By Accurrae, this electronic miracle removes human error in cigarette manufacture,
so Acurae Chesterfield is firm and pleasing to the lips,
mild yet deeply satisfying. Yes, Chesterfield gives you something no
(08:25):
other cigarette can give you.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Chesterfield packs more pleasure because Chesterfield's more perfectly.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Packed to the touch, to the taste.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed by
Chesterfield Mild, yet they satisfy the.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Most modern time.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
I love kidding.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
If you mind, if I sit on, I haven't yet.
Speaker 8 (09:31):
Have I Ah, Well, what are you grinning about?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I saw your picture. What was that you said to
me about Rabbah?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah it was pretty bad. Well maybe if you didn't
have to hold Steale for so long.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Anyway, you're immortalized now. The professor will have your face
all over the paper's back eas it failed printed. Matt, Seriously,
I don't like that.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Man.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Oh there's something about him. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, he seems all right kid him. Maybe you're just
not used to photographers.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Well neither are you. Oh yeah, Jesse, you better come now.
What's the matter?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Out at the end of Bridge Street they just found
old Toad.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
He's dead dead, but that ain't all. He's been scalped.
What do you make of it? Man? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Tack you do I There hasn't been any Indian trouble lately.
Surely no Indian come this close to town.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Doc, it wasn't. And then that's not the way they
use a knife.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well, then who did do it? Old Toad wasn't much good,
but he never hurt nobody.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
There's another funny thing, Matt.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Doesn't look like it was done right here, but like
it was done over there by that building. And then
he was dragged out here into the open.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Up in the open end of the sunlight.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Wait a minute, are you looking for mister Jello?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
That's right, Harchester. Well, I don't see nothing.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Those three little marks on the ground there. You know
what makes marks like that? What the three legged stand
they use for a surveyor's instrument or a camera camera?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Matt, no man to do that, just for a picture.
And there's one way to find out. Come in. Come in, Oh, Marshall.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Our professor, looks like your packing here, Go in someplace. Yes, yes, Marshall,
I've covered dodge pretty thoroughly. Now I want to go
out onto the planes and get some pictures, you know,
buffalo hunters Indians?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Aren't you leaving kind of sudden? Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
What do you mean, I've been planning to go down
into the Indian territory. They might be pretty dangerous right now, Professor.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh, I'm not timid, Marshall. Oh, I know that.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Did you hear there's Indian trouble starting? The man was
scalped this morning right here in Dodge.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yes, I heard something of it, But I'm not frightened.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Why not, Professor, because you know it wasn't than anyone
that did it.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Just what do you mean, Marshall?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I'd just like to know how you were able to
get there and take a picture of Toad before anybody
else knew anything about it. Perhaps I was just lucky, Marshall,
I met the man who found him.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I think it was more than luck. Are you you
accusing me of killing them?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Maybe you didn't do it yourself, but I think you
hired it.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Don it?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Can you prove that I can when I find the
many I hired.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
The whole thing is ridiculous, Marshall in said he was
nothing but a scavenger. Darrely, it was a man and
it was murdered. Whoever did it'll hang for it, and
it's no concern of mine, unless, of course, I can
take a photograph.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Of the hanging. You do anything for a picture, won't you?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Well, almost anything, Marshall, Like I told that girl anything
for art's sake, and that was a good picture I
got of told Marshall, perhaps you'd like to see it? No, thanks, Well,
it's going to be quite a feather in my cap
when I take it back east to Harper's. Maybe you
want to take it back east to Kobe. This might
(13:51):
be one picture you paid too high a price for.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Matte. Why didn't you lock him up?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I got no proof against him, doc, unless I can
find a man who actually did it.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
And I got no idea who that is.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
The Cobby's been center on Tom with a lot of men,
but nobody's special.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
He's liable to skip down on you, I hope. So
what's that?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I figure he's going down into Indian territory. He won't
go alone, even he's not that foolish and a logical
one to go along with him as a man. He's
already hired to do a job for him.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, that's soon anyway, it's the last chance I got.
The town sure stirred up about it. It never thought
old Toad had a single frien. Sure they're upset. They
think it was Indians, and.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
The professor put the picture on display in the wind
of the dodge house. Did you know that, Yeah, I heard,
maybe it was him started to talk about calling the
cavalry out against them.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Well, he'd like.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Nothing better than an Indian ward a photograph.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
What kind of a man is that?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I don't know that, Moss Grimmick, says. A professor left
town just before dawn this morning alone. Tom Grubbs was
with him.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Tom Grubs, sure a two bit would be gunman. All right, Now,
all we gotta do is catch up with him. Where
(15:50):
are you listening to gun smoke in your favorite easy.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Chair or out driving? Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
There you are in the kitchen. Say you want to
make whatever you're doing more enjoyable. Have a Chesterfield? Enjoy
Chesterfields better taste than mildness. It stands to reason a
cigarette made better and packed better smokes better, tastes better,
and Chesterfield is more perfectly packed by Acurae. This electronic
(16:21):
miracle removes human error in cigarette manufacture. So Acirae, Chesterfield
is firm and pleasing to the lips, Mild yet deeply satisfying. Yes,
Chesterfield gives you something no other cigarette can give you.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Chesterfield packs more pleasure because Chesterfield's more perfectly packed to.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The touch, to the taste.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed by
Chesterfield mild, yet they satisfy the most.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I don't like it what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I don't like it a little bit. Rochester all this
Indian sign. Now you just keep your eyes open. We'll manage.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I guess Jacoby will be happy. You should be getting
all the pictures you can use. I notice he's stopped
several times.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Pictures.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I hope I never meet another photographer.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Howmeb. They aren't all like him Chester Well, I hope no.
I'll love Chester What mister jo.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Something over in that clump of weeds there?

Speaker 3 (18:08):
He's been hurt.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Bad, he's bleeding. I spent knife. Help me, Mark Marshall.
Where's your Cooby over there somewhere? I don't know. I
I ran and hid what happened?
Speaker 11 (18:24):
Indeed, shy hand, I told you Kobe, but he wouldn't listen.
Tried to tell him, but he wouldn't listen. Told him,
what about about the burial ground? Bad enough just being
here and then him trying to take pictures, and Shay had.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
There was only three of 'em when he saw him
taking a picture of the burial ground.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
My goodness, had a bad misster doing. They get off
of mad when somebody pulled around the berry and but
the doe.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Grubs he tactic for one of 'em offer and I
ran in head. I guess it it. It couldn't find me, grubbs.
Why don't you tell me about it? About what about told? H?
Speaker 11 (19:24):
Alright, I'll tell you, profess it gave me a lot
of money.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I guess it. Sh should have done it.
Speaker 12 (19:35):
If Marshall, Yeah, I didn't even get my picture took
hm ain't that?
Speaker 3 (19:53):
He sure was some gunman killing a helpless little old
man for money.

My gracious choster over here?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
That ain't a nice side, isn't mich John?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
There's a kind of justice in n Chester. Yeah, they
did to him just what he had grubbed do the
old toad.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Oh we better bury him then, maybe we better gather
up those pictures for they'll send him back east for him.
Maybe they'll be immortal like he hoped. Who knows, he
might turn out to be a big hero, and wouldn't
that be something.
