Speaker 1 (00:00):
M HM, A fiery horse with the speed of light,
(00:20):
accloud of justin, a hearty hild Silver, A lone Ranger.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
A phantom figure of the planes, rode the trails and
long ago to bring justice to the oppressed. Where he
came from, no one ever knew, but his heroic deeds
were recorded in the memories of the people of Seven Sakes.
Even today, the cowboys sit around the campfire and relate
yarns of his bearings, of his speed on the draw
when he meted out punishment of the lawless, of his
great horse Silver, the fastest the West has ever known.
(01:03):
History does not record as many adventures, but the West
will always remember the shout which has come.

Down through the years.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
The Lone Ranger rides again, how Wallace spail ahead.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Were hurry a ward?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
The lone Ranger urged the great horse Silver down the
trail toward Wells City, a typical ranchers community of the
pioneer days. Ben Bush was the wealthiest man in town.
He owned the bank, controlled vast sections of range land
in the territory, received dividends from most of the other
commercial enterprises. But for all his wealth and power, he
was thoroughly disliked. He ruled well City and the surrounding
(01:55):
district with an iron hand, and it was suspected approved
that he had built his position upon a disregard of
honesty and justice. It was certain that the sheriff of
the county, Pete Crowley, obeyed his commands without questions, and
the law man's reputation had suffered in consequence. In the
first scene of tonight's Lone Ranger drama, we see Ben
(02:17):
Bush speaking with Crowley in the cafe. They are seated
in one corner of the large room and are careful
that they're not overheard by the rest of the crowd.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Done all I could? I mean my fault name who
was rescued.

Anytime you get tired working from me, or anytime I
get tired of the way you do your job, there's
a jail cell waiting to hold you. You move, I

Speaker 6 (06:35):
Three of my enemies out loose, and all say, by
the same man, Crowley, I'm beginning to think your scheming
things again.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Then, in spite of the efforts of put in Carolin,
(07:03):
the little Ranger had effected the rescue of each of
the three men framed by the pair. After his last exploit,
the masked man returned to his camp with.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Steve Larson, the third of the rescue of prisoner Dotter.
This is Steve Lawson. I just helped him to escape
from jail. Oh man, what.
Speaker 11 (07:24):
I don't say this at all?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Who are you?
Speaker 13 (07:26):
I hope to be your friend, Lawson? What you bust
me out of the tail so you wouldn't be tried
and hung from murder? But they didn't have no evidence
again me, they didn't have evidence against the other two men.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
But both of them are ready to hang.
Speaker 13 (07:37):
You're the man that rescued them, yes, Todo and I
well are they now save for the time being.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Just what are you up to? Mister? What's the mask
for I brought you here to ask questions of you,
not to answer yours.
Speaker 11 (07:48):
I suppose I should be dogging grateful to you, but
I ain't.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I'm not asking for your gratitude.
Speaker 13 (07:53):
I got tried and freed that in all right, But
if it stands now, I'm an outlaw.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yes, my wife is he in town. So's my kid.
Speaker 11 (08:01):
I can't never go back to see them. My busting
out of the jail is the same as confession my guilt.
Speaker 13 (08:06):
You were accused of murder, yeah, but I I could
approve my innocence.
Speaker 11 (08:10):
How the night same Turner was killed, I was at.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Home with Mary and little Jerry.
Speaker 13 (08:15):
That wouldn't clear your larson. Remember Ben Bush's against you.
That's scheme and con cat. Some day he's gonna get
all that's common to him.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
That's what I'm working for. You know about him, not
all that I want to know. You tell me about him.
Speaker 11 (08:27):
He's got so much money. He does whatever he turned pleases.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I've been told that you had money in his bank,
didn't you.
Speaker 11 (08:33):
Oh my savings about three thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
That's just the point. Brisbane Slade had their money in
his bank. That's why they were framed for murder.
Speaker 11 (08:42):
See if you mean to say they want guilty of murders? No,
but the evidence why four men seen them.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Do the shooting. Those four men were paid to tell
the jury that story.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Why Bush?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
What's his game?
Speaker 13 (08:54):
Larson Bush takes the money people put in his bank,
steals it.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yes, and before the.
Speaker 13 (08:59):
Money can be claimed, the arrangers for the owner to
get into trouble, and Sheriff Crowley works hand in glove
with him.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
See do you mean to.
Speaker 11 (09:07):
Tell me out of face what Frisbee and Slade did?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (09:10):
If that have been men on the stand and swear
they see me shoot.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
A man, that's just what would have happened.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Why they?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Or Old Bush? A schemer in a poll camp? What
do you know about him?
Speaker 11 (09:18):
I know he never gives a man a chance to
pay him a mortgage if he hadn't a little later on.
Speaker 13 (09:22):
Yes, he swindles in cheats wherever he can. He always
thought he's tuck to the letter.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Of the law.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
No, he doesn't even do that.
Speaker 11 (09:30):
What am I to do now?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I want you to help me.
Speaker 13 (09:32):
How I'm going to ask you the same question I
asked Slade and Frisbee. Yeh, will you stake your freedom
on a chance that you might hang rather than spend
the rest of your life as an outlaw.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I don't savvy as you stand right now, you're safely
away from the jail.
Speaker 13 (09:45):
You can leave my camp and go where you want to,
but you'll always be hunted by the law for a
crime you didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
If you will help me and risk being captured, there's a.
Speaker 13 (09:53):
Chance to put Ben Bush and Sheriff Crowley where they belong,
and then you can return.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
The town of free men.
Speaker 11 (09:58):
Life wouldn't mean much tom away from my wife and kid.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Then I can count on you.
Speaker 11 (10:03):
Yes, I suppose Frisbee slave decided difference being his name
around here, but I'll go in with you.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
They've made the same choice.
Speaker 11 (10:11):
Yeah, Gush, and the four of us are working.
Speaker 13 (10:13):
To get in or a fire of us counting my
friend Taddle.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Oh yeah, Larcen. From now on, don't ask questions, just
do what you're told and count on us.
Speaker 11 (10:22):
I never thought I trust a man that wore a mask, Stranger,
but there's something about your style that makes me like
him and trust you. I'm taking your orders from now on.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The Lone Ranger had a definite purpose in mind when
he freed the three men Crowley had imprisoned. In the meantime,
the sheriff and his post scowered the country in search
of the masked man and his companions, but without success.
The hunt continued for several days. Bush became incensed over
the delay. At length, the banker approached Crowley in the
cafe and spoke heatedly.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I could really make her clean up if I could
count on you at all, But I can't.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
The bullsher I'm doing all the men kind.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Ain't found the one in the part and three four,
including the masked man as hey the others?

Speaker 6 (11:19):
A stranger fifted into town today and open the big
account the bank.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
The curtain falls on the first back of our Lone
Ranger drama. Before the next excitting themes, please permit us
to pause for just a few moments, and now on
(15:07):
with our story. You will recall that in the first
act of the Night's Lone Ranger Drama, the banker and
the sheriff of Wells said he framed three men for murder,
only to have them taken from jail by the masked man.
The accused men were large depositors and the bank owned
by Bush, who intended to steal their funds. A lone ranger, however,
had freed the convicted men as part of a plan
(15:28):
to bring Bush and Crowley to justice. Then a fourth
man into the story. His name was Mark Him and
he was discovered standing over in Indian. He was accused
of killing That same afternoon. Markheim had placed a large
sum of money in the bank. Bush saw another opportunity
to frame an important depositor.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Pull on our shelf, kid, you listen to me for
just a minute or so.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Oh talk, fair sir, where is it?
Speaker 12 (15:52):
You ain't even look to make sure the Redskins did
before you jail me for murder.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Will do the looking lad.
Speaker 11 (15:58):
We don't take chances with her, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Then make Pat Banker give me back the paper he
took from me.
Speaker 11 (16:04):
Don't nothing, manut a scrap of paper. I throwed it away.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
It's a receipt for the cash I bag in your
place today. Bush.
Speaker 12 (16:10):
I suppose now you'll claim I ain't no money there
and keep it for yourself.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Take him in chance, yep, Oh, my cand what the redskin?
Speaker 11 (16:18):
I'll go back and see if he's dead for sure?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
No, you won't what the mass mean again, you'll all
stand like when.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
You are cally.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
If he gets this prisoner away from you, I'll hag
rid out in town.
Speaker 13 (16:27):
On the rail.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I'm not after your prisoner.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
I'm here to take the Indian away with me.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
See here, you you're under.
Speaker 13 (16:33):
Arresting talk from a man who doesn't there reached for
his gun.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Shoot him, Crowley, don't stand there like a sniveling card.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Non shoot up planet. I'm still holding one gun on you.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Now's a chance. Final.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
He's planning to heist the redskin on his horse.
Speaker 14 (16:46):
He and you think you can come vincent.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
He's grease lighting with a gun, mister bull.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Now's a chance shoot shoot him.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
I'll try give him Crowley tire again.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
He's still riding.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Tain't no use.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
He's out of sight in the dark horse. He's riding
his grease lighting.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
What did he want the dead engine for her?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Don't ask me where you see that?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
You don't let the prisoner get away, blasted old Crowley.
Speaker 16 (17:17):
Don't let him get away.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
The lone ranger made no attempt to rescue the sheriff's
latest prisoner. Instead, he and Tanto rode swiftly to their camp.
There they were met by the three fugitives who had
agreed to assist in carrying out his plans.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Here, how did it come out? What happened this? Then?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
What did you do?
Speaker 13 (17:56):
Everything worked out justin we hoped. They didn't even examine Toto.
He's been shot enough.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
When you beat that, it's just like Cash said. The
Sheriff's are cooking, so is Bush.
Speaker 13 (18:04):
Not only that they made sure to get the bank
deposits slip away from Markheim Bush down.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
That didn't he yes, and the sheriff permitted it.
Speaker 11 (18:11):
That means Markheim will be slated to hang and he
won't have a chance of getting away, not unless the
math man gets him away like he done us.
Speaker 13 (18:18):
We're going to let mark him go on trial, and
when that trial comes up, the sheriff and Ben Bush
will have a surprise.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
The lone ranger had proved the dishonesty of the sheriff
and the banker beyond all possibility of doubt.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
In the meantime, Markheim.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Was put on trial, A jury was hastily summoned, and
the evidence of a series of lying witnesses presented to
the court.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
Markheim drawn his gun and fired the redskin dropped dead.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That's all I got to say. Jed, that man lies. Jude,
you're out of order. Markim be quiet. What might gun
wasn't even fired? The sheriff can tell you that. How
about that sheriff might have been fired? Might not have been?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
I dumped the cartridges out without looking.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
To see your railroad me to the hangman's rope. That's
what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
One after another, the witnesses swore the same story, markhim,
they said had killed the Indian. But outside the courthouse
a group of men led by the lone ranger.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
What's the progress of the trial.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
With keen interest, we hear the mask man as he
addresses one of his companions, Frisbee.
Speaker 13 (19:54):
Yeah, those witnesses, the same ones are testified against you.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Yes they are.

Tariff himself is the biggest crocable.

That's better for the time being, Sheriff. You can't arrest
those fugitives.

Because they've got you and all your men covered. All right?
Speaker 14 (23:16):
All right, Martaim, But you said the body of the

Maybe they need to me and you shot Markaim.
Speaker 3 (23:57):

Speaker 12 (24:02):
Frisbee and Slade were tried and found guilty in your court.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 12 (24:07):
And the witnesses against them was the same ones that
appeared against me.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Ain't that's her voice? Yes? And the reason was Bush
stole the money they had in his bank.
Speaker 12 (24:17):
Then, with the help of the sheriff and lying witnesses,
he framed them for murdered.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
And ain't so.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Ain't so much of you Mark?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Lying wyet sheriff? You make him more noise me stopping
you get away from me, wretchkin.
Speaker 12 (24:31):
Let me ask you this banker Bush, Did I put
cash in your bank?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
No?
Speaker 11 (24:36):
You did not.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
You heard that, Judge, Yeah, I heard it. Push you
think you're safe and denying. I put cash in your bank.
Speaker 12 (24:44):
Because you thought you got the slip of paper that
would prove it. Well, all you god was a copy
of that same here, judge, is a paper with ben
Bush's signature on it.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
What about it?
Speaker 15 (24:58):
Judge, markim right, hurry it seems to be. But never
in my life if I see anything like that, I ain't.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Done yet, Judge.
Speaker 12 (25:06):
The masked man fired a shot, and I stayed where
Tonto lay on the ground, waiting to see if I
be framed. All them witnesses that said they've seen the
murder light Steve, you were watching Abe Gorman when the
shot was fired.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Where was it?
Speaker 13 (25:21):
Gorman was gambling in the cafe, ye, Slade, you.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Were watching Layman and Snyder when the shot was fired.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Yeah, and he was.
Speaker 12 (25:28):
Calling on the widow Perkins, missus Perkins will prove that.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
See here, John Waite, let me speak markhim.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yes, sure, Honor, you wondered.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
If I was on the level.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Well you will find out. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (25:39):
All it taches and looks the faces of them lyon
witnesses to know the coop.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
Every one of them should be jailed.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Were swearing away a man's life.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
I don't know, but Jod jack Or you shot and
you was.
Speaker 10 (25:52):
It looks like the murders Frisbee, Slate and Larson have
been charged with are still unsolved, and it looks like
it's up to me to appoint a deputy sheriff to
arrest him for investigation.
Speaker 13 (26:04):
One minute, judge, Yeah, you needn't appoint anyone.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
The United States Marshals is here to take charge of things.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Where's he at?
Speaker 15 (26:12):
You know him as Markheim? Why he's come here to
frame up the bunch of us.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
I came here at the suggestion of the lone Ranger.
Speaker 12 (26:22):
He and Tonto outlined the plan where I'd be baked
for the trap to show the sheriff and his deputies
up as scheming crooks.
Speaker 14 (26:29):
But where's the lot great gun? You mean that mass
man is the lone ranger. That's about the size of it. Wait,
wait a minute, lone ranger, this town old.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
You are punny.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Stop him.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
I want to speak to it.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
It's due to him that this community of is safe
for honest
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Men that come from another an a
M HM, A fiery horse with the speed of light,
(00:20):
accloud of justin, a hearty hild Silver, A lone Ranger.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
A phantom figure of the planes, rode the trails and
long ago to bring justice to the oppressed. Where he
came from, no one ever knew, but his heroic deeds
were recorded in the memories of the people of Seven Sakes.
Even today, the cowboys sit around the campfire and relate
yarns of his bearings, of his speed on the draw
when he meted out punishment of the lawless, of his
great horse Silver, the fastest the West has ever known.
(01:03):
History does not record as many adventures, but the West
will always remember the shout which has come.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Down through the years.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
The Lone Ranger rides again, how Wallace spail ahead.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Were hurry a ward?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
The lone Ranger urged the great horse Silver down the
trail toward Wells City, a typical ranchers community of the
pioneer days. Ben Bush was the wealthiest man in town.
He owned the bank, controlled vast sections of range land
in the territory, received dividends from most of the other
commercial enterprises. But for all his wealth and power, he
was thoroughly disliked. He ruled well City and the surrounding
(01:55):
district with an iron hand, and it was suspected approved
that he had built his position upon a disregard of
honesty and justice. It was certain that the sheriff of
the county, Pete Crowley, obeyed his commands without questions, and
the law man's reputation had suffered in consequence. In the
first scene of tonight's Lone Ranger drama, we see Ben
(02:17):
Bush speaking with Crowley in the cafe. They are seated
in one corner of the large room and are careful
that they're not overheard by the rest of the crowd.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Done all I could? I mean my fault name who
was rescued.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
I don't like alibis, but a man alive can do
more than you ain't done good enough, Crowley.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
That's the point.
Speaker 7 (02:38):
What I can't just remember I'm the man.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Put you in office. I ain't forgot that.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
I'm the man can get chirible, I know, mister Bush,
but what more can.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I do than what the chef needs?
Speaker 7 (02:49):
A rest in the Crooks and Garden A Durham.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Sure, that's what I've done. That's what I've been doing
all the law I ain't ask you to give evidence, Ginham.
I've done that Myselle.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Trial and been found guilty.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Heah.
Speaker 8 (03:02):
But twas when they was all set to get hung, they.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Was rescued by some mask man on a white horse.
Speaker 9 (03:08):
But he rides like light, and the way he handles
him two guns in here is a man hasn't a chance.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
To hold like albis.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I told you that before.
Speaker 9 (03:17):
Crowley, Way, Alibi and mister Burst as well as I do.
Speaker 10 (03:22):
That white horse is a divil and four legs a rider, ain't.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Yeah, it's all covered within six guns and years before
we could say Jack Robinson.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
Then you shall get some deputies as quicker the draw.
I tell you Crowley, I don't like the way things.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Is going here.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Who is that mask man in the house?
Speaker 8 (03:39):
I don't know, like us not.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
He's an outlaw.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Wearing a mask lank he dursh mersty.
Speaker 8 (03:44):
Then why don't arrest him, get him tried and hung?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
But you can't find him. I'm hitting me hunting.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
It's a true. I've had passes out ever since Leven
Prisbye was saved from the hangman's rope.
Speaker 11 (03:56):
Ain't even found facts, have you?
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Oh we've still.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Got out rock her singing, all my enemies will get
teamed up against me.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Then now they are ruined this tower.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Or maybe that's what's your figuring on. No, mister Bush,
you know this ain't the case.
Speaker 8 (04:12):
I don't trust anyone Crowley.
Speaker 11 (04:15):
Maybe that's why I got where I am.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Well, who need to trust me? I didn't want you
ask me to ever since I got an office.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
He'll let two of my enemies escape like that's not
the woman's in jail.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
Now we'll be rescued by that masked man.
Speaker 12 (04:28):
Of all his hung You won't You can better on that,
or got guards at the jail night and day.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Reckon, we better go down there and make sure he's
still locked up.
Speaker 13 (04:37):
Shucks, you'll be there, neither of the others, which tooth
he was ready to hang arginin he would come and
be trying me.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
We're gonna take a look anyhow. Come on, well, you
want to need no use to take my word for
still there? And I'm beginning to think your word don't
amount to much.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I wish you'd put more trust in me, mister Bush.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Just a couple more escapes in this town and you're
going to be out in the office.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Pally mind what I tell you. Well, now come.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
On, let's go to the jail. I don't honor.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
There sight. You have to mask man is and what
he's doing around here.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
So di being in me your mister Bush, My enemy's hanged.
You know that except when you get tell us we
can leave the horses.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Here to hitch racking far down to the jail.
Speaker 9 (05:34):
Hey, you know, mister Bush, I've been thinking, well, you're
sort of dissatisfied.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
In the way I'm in doing my job. Why shouldn't
I be two.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Men I figured to get rid of for this time
I out free somewhere.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Well, you ain't the only.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
One that ain't satisfied with things. Is to stand what
you mean, I've been thinking I ought.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
To get more money, more money. Yep, if you had
an honest you have been here, you.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Wouldn't stand the chance of getting away with the things
you've been doing.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, well get this, Crowley.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Anytime you get tired working from me, or anytime I
get tired of the way you do your job, there's
a jail cell waiting to hold you. You move, I
mean I got evidence to put you in jail, same
as I got it against my other enemies.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Hey, look over by the jail a white horse. If
that's the same man, your gun dropping. Get the to
of them. They're getting to the saddle.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Never figured to try and get last away before his file.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Three of my enemies out loose, and all say, by
the same man, Crowley, I'm beginning to think your scheming
things again.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Then, in spite of the efforts of put in Carolin,
(07:03):
the little Ranger had effected the rescue of each of
the three men framed by the pair. After his last exploit,
the masked man returned to his camp with.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Steve Larson, the third of the rescue of prisoner Dotter.
This is Steve Lawson. I just helped him to escape
from jail. Oh man, what.
Speaker 11 (07:24):
I don't say this at all?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Who are you?
Speaker 13 (07:26):
I hope to be your friend, Lawson? What you bust
me out of the tail so you wouldn't be tried
and hung from murder? But they didn't have no evidence
again me, they didn't have evidence against the other two men.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
But both of them are ready to hang.
Speaker 13 (07:37):
You're the man that rescued them, yes, Todo and I
well are they now save for the time being.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Just what are you up to? Mister? What's the mask
for I brought you here to ask questions of you,
not to answer yours.
Speaker 11 (07:48):
I suppose I should be dogging grateful to you, but
I ain't.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I'm not asking for your gratitude.
Speaker 13 (07:53):
I got tried and freed that in all right, But
if it stands now, I'm an outlaw.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yes, my wife is he in town. So's my kid.
Speaker 11 (08:01):
I can't never go back to see them. My busting
out of the jail is the same as confession my guilt.
Speaker 13 (08:06):
You were accused of murder, yeah, but I I could
approve my innocence.
Speaker 11 (08:10):
How the night same Turner was killed, I was at.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Home with Mary and little Jerry.
Speaker 13 (08:15):
That wouldn't clear your larson. Remember Ben Bush's against you.
That's scheme and con cat. Some day he's gonna get
all that's common to him.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
That's what I'm working for. You know about him, not
all that I want to know. You tell me about him.
Speaker 11 (08:27):
He's got so much money. He does whatever he turned pleases.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I've been told that you had money in his bank,
didn't you.
Speaker 11 (08:33):
Oh my savings about three thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
That's just the point. Brisbane Slade had their money in
his bank. That's why they were framed for murder.
Speaker 11 (08:42):
See if you mean to say they want guilty of murders? No,
but the evidence why four men seen them.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Do the shooting. Those four men were paid to tell
the jury that story.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Why Bush?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
What's his game?
Speaker 13 (08:54):
Larson Bush takes the money people put in his bank,
steals it.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yes, and before the.
Speaker 13 (08:59):
Money can be claimed, the arrangers for the owner to
get into trouble, and Sheriff Crowley works hand in glove
with him.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
See do you mean to.
Speaker 11 (09:07):
Tell me out of face what Frisbee and Slade did?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (09:10):
If that have been men on the stand and swear
they see me shoot.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
A man, that's just what would have happened.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Why they?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Or Old Bush? A schemer in a poll camp? What
do you know about him?
Speaker 11 (09:18):
I know he never gives a man a chance to
pay him a mortgage if he hadn't a little later on.
Speaker 13 (09:22):
Yes, he swindles in cheats wherever he can. He always
thought he's tuck to the letter.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Of the law.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
No, he doesn't even do that.
Speaker 11 (09:30):
What am I to do now?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I want you to help me.
Speaker 13 (09:32):
How I'm going to ask you the same question I
asked Slade and Frisbee. Yeh, will you stake your freedom
on a chance that you might hang rather than spend
the rest of your life as an outlaw.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I don't savvy as you stand right now, you're safely
away from the jail.
Speaker 13 (09:45):
You can leave my camp and go where you want to,
but you'll always be hunted by the law for a
crime you didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
If you will help me and risk being captured, there's a.
Speaker 13 (09:53):
Chance to put Ben Bush and Sheriff Crowley where they belong,
and then you can return.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
The town of free men.
Speaker 11 (09:58):
Life wouldn't mean much tom away from my wife and kid.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Then I can count on you.
Speaker 11 (10:03):
Yes, I suppose Frisbee slave decided difference being his name
around here, but I'll go in with you.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
They've made the same choice.
Speaker 11 (10:11):
Yeah, Gush, and the four of us are working.
Speaker 13 (10:13):
To get in or a fire of us counting my
friend Taddle.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Oh yeah, Larcen. From now on, don't ask questions, just
do what you're told and count on us.
Speaker 11 (10:22):
I never thought I trust a man that wore a mask, Stranger,
but there's something about your style that makes me like
him and trust you. I'm taking your orders from now on.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The Lone Ranger had a definite purpose in mind when
he freed the three men Crowley had imprisoned. In the meantime,
the sheriff and his post scowered the country in search
of the masked man and his companions, but without success.
The hunt continued for several days. Bush became incensed over
the delay. At length, the banker approached Crowley in the
cafe and spoke heatedly.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I could really make her clean up if I could
count on you at all, But I can't.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
The bullsher I'm doing all the men kind.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Ain't found the one in the part and three four,
including the masked man as hey the others?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Or ain't your bottle to haunt him?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Sure we are.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
A stranger fifted into town today and open the big
account the bank.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
If only I could count for.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
And yourn next one won't get away from me. I
promise you that.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
There won't be a next one for some time. It
takes a while for me to line things up here.
Speaker 14 (11:31):
I tell you, chair, come fast, it's been a shooting
down the road to people are shooting.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
Come on quick, havebe you can get the umbrey. Did
you see anything of the man that done the shooting?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Well, it's a man still there he's examined, the redskinny shot.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
He's that strangers not in Mark high and reckon, that's what.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
He calls himself.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
Come on, chaff, here's a chance to do something on
my way.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Then never mind, I see you later. You won't need
your horse. He set a few runs away.
Speaker 7 (11:54):

Speaker 7 (14:01):
We got evidence enough to send you there.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
The curtain falls on the first back of our Lone
Ranger drama. Before the next excitting themes, please permit us
to pause for just a few moments, and now on
(15:07):
with our story. You will recall that in the first
act of the Night's Lone Ranger Drama, the banker and
the sheriff of Wells said he framed three men for murder,
only to have them taken from jail by the masked man.
The accused men were large depositors and the bank owned
by Bush, who intended to steal their funds. A lone ranger, however,
had freed the convicted men as part of a plan
(15:28):
to bring Bush and Crowley to justice. Then a fourth
man into the story. His name was Mark Him and
he was discovered standing over in Indian. He was accused
of killing That same afternoon. Markheim had placed a large
sum of money in the bank. Bush saw another opportunity
to frame an important depositor.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Pull on our shelf, kid, you listen to me for
just a minute or so.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Oh talk, fair sir, where is it?
Speaker 12 (15:52):
You ain't even look to make sure the Redskins did
before you jail me for murder.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Will do the looking lad.
Speaker 11 (15:58):
We don't take chances with her, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Then make Pat Banker give me back the paper he
took from me.
Speaker 11 (16:04):
Don't nothing, manut a scrap of paper. I throwed it away.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
It's a receipt for the cash I bag in your
place today. Bush.
Speaker 12 (16:10):
I suppose now you'll claim I ain't no money there
and keep it for yourself.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Take him in chance, yep, Oh, my cand what the redskin?
Speaker 11 (16:18):
I'll go back and see if he's dead for sure?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
No, you won't what the mass mean again, you'll all
stand like when.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
You are cally.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
If he gets this prisoner away from you, I'll hag
rid out in town.
Speaker 13 (16:27):
On the rail.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I'm not after your prisoner.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
I'm here to take the Indian away with me.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
See here, you you're under.
Speaker 13 (16:33):
Arresting talk from a man who doesn't there reached for
his gun.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Shoot him, Crowley, don't stand there like a sniveling card.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Non shoot up planet. I'm still holding one gun on you.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Now's a chance. Final.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
He's planning to heist the redskin on his horse.
Speaker 14 (16:46):
He and you think you can come vincent.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
He's grease lighting with a gun, mister bull.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Now's a chance shoot shoot him.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
I'll try give him Crowley tire again.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
He's still riding.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Tain't no use.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
He's out of sight in the dark horse. He's riding
his grease lighting.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
What did he want the dead engine for her?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Don't ask me where you see that?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
You don't let the prisoner get away, blasted old Crowley.
Speaker 16 (17:17):
Don't let him get away.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
The lone ranger made no attempt to rescue the sheriff's
latest prisoner. Instead, he and Tanto rode swiftly to their camp.
There they were met by the three fugitives who had
agreed to assist in carrying out his plans.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Here, how did it come out? What happened this? Then?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
What did you do?
Speaker 13 (17:56):
Everything worked out justin we hoped. They didn't even examine Toto.
He's been shot enough.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
When you beat that, it's just like Cash said. The
Sheriff's are cooking, so is Bush.
Speaker 13 (18:04):
Not only that they made sure to get the bank
deposits slip away from Markheim Bush down.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
That didn't he yes, and the sheriff permitted it.
Speaker 11 (18:11):
That means Markheim will be slated to hang and he
won't have a chance of getting away, not unless the
math man gets him away like he done us.
Speaker 13 (18:18):
We're going to let mark him go on trial, and
when that trial comes up, the sheriff and Ben Bush
will have a surprise.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
The lone ranger had proved the dishonesty of the sheriff
and the banker beyond all possibility of doubt.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
In the meantime, Markheim.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Was put on trial, A jury was hastily summoned, and
the evidence of a series of lying witnesses presented to
the court.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
Markheim drawn his gun and fired the redskin dropped dead.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That's all I got to say. Jed, that man lies. Jude,
you're out of order. Markim be quiet. What might gun
wasn't even fired? The sheriff can tell you that. How
about that sheriff might have been fired? Might not have been?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
I dumped the cartridges out without looking.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
To see your railroad me to the hangman's rope. That's
what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
One after another, the witnesses swore the same story, markhim,
they said had killed the Indian. But outside the courthouse
a group of men led by the lone ranger.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
What's the progress of the trial.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
With keen interest, we hear the mask man as he
addresses one of his companions, Frisbee.
Speaker 13 (19:54):
Yeah, those witnesses, the same ones are testified against you.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Yes they are.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
They had plenty to say. It can be too the
same man.
Speaker 11 (20:01):
Yeah, dirty rats all being paid for that. My pan
Bush just waits. I'd like to get in there and
have myce.

Speaker 7 (20:44):

Speaker 5 (20:46):
He didn't get a square trial, not even a man
to speak for anything.
Speaker 11 (20:50):
No one gets a square trial in this town.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Tariff himself is the biggest crocable.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Let yourself get here saying that there's a Jerry coming
back here, Jerry to hang in the one.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
That's how I required here order in the court, Sheriff Coolly,

Frisbee and Slade were tried and found guilty in your court.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 12 (24:07):
And the witnesses against them was the same ones that
appeared against me.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Ain't that's her voice? Yes? And the reason was Bush
stole the money they had in his bank.
Speaker 12 (24:17):
Then, with the help of the sheriff and lying witnesses,
he framed them for murdered.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
And ain't so.

Speaker 11 (24:36):
You did not.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
You heard that, Judge, Yeah, I heard it. Push you
think you're safe and denying. I put cash in your bank.
Speaker 12 (24:44):
Because you thought you got the slip of paper that
would prove it. Well, all you god was a copy
of that same here, judge, is a paper with ben
Bush's signature on it.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
What about it?
Speaker 15 (24:58):
Judge, markim right, hurry it seems to be. But never
in my life if I see anything like that, I ain't.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Done yet, Judge.
Speaker 12 (25:06):
The masked man fired a shot, and I stayed where
Tonto lay on the ground, waiting to see if I

murder light Steve, you were watching Abe Gorman when the
shot was fired.
Speaker 3 (25:20):

I don't know, but Jod jack Or you shot and
you was.
Speaker 10 (25:52):
It looks like the murders Frisbee, Slate and Larson have
been charged with are still unsolved, and it looks like
it's up to me to appoint a deputy sheriff to
arrest him for investigation.
Speaker 13 (26:04):
One minute, judge, Yeah, you needn't appoint anyone.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
The United States Marshals is here to take charge of things.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Where's he at?
Speaker 15 (26:12):
You know him as Markheim? Why he's come here to
frame up the bunch of us.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
I came here at the suggestion of the lone Ranger.
Speaker 12 (26:22):
He and Tonto outlined the plan where I'd be baked
for the trap to show the sheriff and his deputies
up as scheming crooks.
Speaker 14 (26:29):
But where's the lot great gun? You mean that mass
man is the lone ranger. That's about the size of it. Wait,
