Speaker 6 (08:13):
Was at home with Mary and little Jerry.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
That wouldn't clear you, Larson. Remember Ben Bushes against you?
Speaker 6 (08:18):
It's skim and corn cats.
Speaker 12 (08:20):
Some day he's gonna get all that's common to him.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
That's what I'm working for. You know about him?
Speaker 12 (08:25):
Not all that I want to know.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
You tell me about him.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
He's got so much money.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
He does whatever he turned pleases.
Speaker 12 (08:30):
I've been told that you have money in his bank,
didn't you. Oh my savings about three thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
That's just the point.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
Frisbee and Slade had their money in his bank. That's
why they were framed for murder.
Speaker 12 (08:42):
See do you mean to say they want guilty of murders? No,
but the evidence fly four men seen him do the shooting.
Those four men were paid to tell the jury that story.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Why Bush? Yes, what's his game?
Speaker 11 (08:54):
Larson?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Bush takes the money people put in his bank, steals it. Yes,
and before the muney he can be claimed.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
The arrangers for the owner to get into trouble, and
Sheriff Crowley works him in glove with him.
Speaker 12 (09:05):
See do you mean to tell me out of face
what Frisbee and Slade did?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yes? If it have been men on the stand and
swear they.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
See me shoot a man, that's just what would have happened.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Why they don't roll Bush?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
A schemer in a poll camp.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
What do you know about him?
Speaker 12 (09:18):
I know he never gives a man a chance to
pay him a mortgage if he hasn't a little later. Yes,
he swindles in cheats wherever he can. I always told
he's stuck to the letter of the law.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
No, he doesn't even do that.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
What am I to do now?
Speaker 11 (09:31):
I want you to help me.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
How I'm going to ask you the same question I asked.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Slade and Frisbee, Eh, will you take your freedom on
a chance that you might hang rather than spend the
rest of your life as an outlaw? I don't save
as you stand right now, you're safely away from the jail.
You can leave my camp and go where you want to,
but you'll always.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Be hunted by the law for a crime you didn't do.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
That.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
If you will help me and risk being captured, there's
a chance to put Ben Bush and Sheriff Crowley where
they belong, and then you can return the town of
free men. Life wouldn't mean much to time me away
from my wife and kid.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Then I can count on you.
Speaker 11 (10:03):
Yes, I suppose.
Speaker 12 (10:04):
Frisbee slave decided different, being his ain't around here.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
But I'll go in with you. They've made the same choice. Yeah, Gus,
and the four of us are working to get it.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
We're a fire of us, counting my friend Taddle. Oh yeah, Larcen.
From now on, don't ask questions, just do what you're
told and count on us.

mask stranger, but there's something about your style that makes
me like and trust you.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I'm taking your orders.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
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 posse scoured the country in search
of the masked man and his companions, but without success.
The hunt continued for several days.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Bush became in things over the delay. At length, the banker.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Approached Crowley in the cafe and spoke heatedly.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I could really make a clean up if I.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Can come on you at all.
Speaker 6 (11:09):

The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone
Ranger drama. Before the next exciting themes, please permit us
to pause for just a few moments, and now on
(15:07):
with our story.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
You will recall that in the first act.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Of tonight'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. The lone ranger, however,
had freed the convicted men as part of a plan
to bring Bush and Crowley to justice. Then the fourth
(15:31):
man ended the story. His name was Mark Him, and
he was discovered standing over an Indian he was accused
of killing. That same afternoon. Mark Him had placed a
large sum of money in the bank. Bush saw another
opportunity to frame an important depositor.
Speaker 11 (15:45):
Pull on our shelves, kids, you listen to me for
just a minute or so.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Oh talk fair sir, where is it? You ain't even
look to make sure the Redskins did before you tail
me for murder.

banker give me back the paper he took from me.
Speaker 3 (16:04):

Speaker 4 (16:06):
I throwed it away.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
It's a receipt for the cash I beg in your
place today, Bush. I suppose now you'll claim I ain't
no money there and keep it for yourself.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Take him in chaff yep, oh my hand.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
What the redskin. I'll go back and see if he's
dead for sure.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
No, you won't. What the massman again, you'll stand by
when you are calling.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
If he gets this prisoner away from you, I'll hagger
it out in town on the rail.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I'm not after your prisoner. I'm here to take the
Indian away with me. See here, you you're under a

Speaker 6 (17:03):
Worse, he's out of sight in the dark horse.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
He's riding his grease lighting.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
What did he want the dead engine for her?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Don't ask me?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Well see that you don't let the prisoner get away.
Blast it, ol Crowley, 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 Swift into their camp.
There they were met by the three fugitives who had
agreed to assist in carrying.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Out his plans. See how did it come out? What
happened this thing? What did you do?
Speaker 8 (17:56):
Everything worked out just as we hope. They didn't even
examine some See he's been shot enough?
Speaker 11 (18:01):
Can you beat that? It's just like Cash said.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
The Sheriff's are cooking, so is Bush. Not only that
they made sure to get the bank deposits slip away
from mark Him Bush down. That didn't he yes, and
the sheriff permitted it. That means Mark Him will.

Be slated to hang and he won't have a chance
of getting away, not unless the last man get him
away like he done us.
Speaker 8 (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. In the meantime,
Mark Him was put on trial. A jury was hastily
summoned and the evidence of a series of lying witnesses
presented to the court.

I dumped the cartridges out without looking to see your
railroad me to the hangman's rope.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
That's what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
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. What's
the progress of a trial with keen interest? We hear
the mask man as he addresses.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
One of his companions, Frisbee. Yeah. Those witnesses the same
ones and testified against you.

Of murdering a man that's not even proved to be dead.

Speaker 8 (23:16):
All right, Montaim, But you said the body of the
man you shot wasn't in hand or what do you

I'd like to ask the witnesses if that's the man
I am said to a shot, Yes it is.

Frisbee and Slade, were tried and found guilty in your court.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 8 (24:07):
And the witnesses against them was the same ones that
appeared against me.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
Ain't that so?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Voice ay?
Speaker 8 (24:13):
And the reason was Bush stole the money they had
in his bank. Then, with the help of the.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Sheriff and lying witnesses, he framed them for murdered.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
And ain't so.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
No? You did not.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
You heard that, Judge, I heard it. Push you think
you're safe and denying I put cash in your.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
Bank 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.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
On What about it?
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Judge, Markham right, he it seems to be.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
But never in my life if I see anything like that,
I ain't done yet.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Jud The masked man fired a shot, and I stayed
where Tonto lay on the ground, waiting to see if.

Layman and Snyder when the shot was fired. Yeah, and
they was calling on the widow Percheon.

See here, Jock White, let me speak.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Markheim, Yes, sure, honor. You wondered if I was on
the level. Well you will find out.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Yeah, all it taches and looks at the faces of.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Them, lyon witnesses to know the truth. Every one of
them should be jails.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Were swearing away a man's life.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
I don't know what shod Jack or you shout and
you bus it looks like the.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
Murders Frisbee Slate and Larson have been charged with are
still unsolved, and it looks like it's up to to
appoint a deputy chriffs to arrest you for investigation. One minute, judge, Yeah,
you needn't appoint anyone. The United States Marshal is here
to take charge of things.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Where's yet you know.
Speaker 11 (26:12):
Him as Markheim.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
He would come here to frame up the punch on us.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
I came here at the suggestion of the Lone Rangers.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
He and Tonto.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Outlined a plan where I'd be baked for the trap
to show the Chaff and his deputies up as scheming crooks.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
But where wait, gun, you mean that mass manage.
Speaker 11 (26:34):
The Lone Ranger. That's about the size of it.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I'm not a wait wait a minute, long ranger this
town owes you are pretty stop him. I want to
speak to it. It's due to him that this community
will be safe for honest men
Speaker 7 (27:08):
From an a
A fiery horse with the speed of lighter cloud of Justin,
a hardy hil Silver, A lone Ranger, a.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Phantom figure of the planes, rode the trails of long
ago to bring justice to the oppressed.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Where he came from, no one ever knew but a hero.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Indeed, were recorded in the memories of the people of
Seven States. Even today, the cowboys sit around the campfire
and relate yarns that his darings, of his speed on
the draw when he needed out punishment of the lawless,
of his great.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Silver, the fastest the West has ever known.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
History does not record as many adventures, but the West
will always remember the shout which has come down through
the years. The Lone Ranger rides again, how que Horison
spail ahead, were.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Hurry of war for.
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.
Theres then bus 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.
(01:53):
He ruled well City and the surrounding district with an
iron hand, and it was suspected the approved that he
had built his position upon a.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Disregard of honesty and justice.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
It was certain that the sheriff.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
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 the Night's Lone Ranger drama, we
see Ben 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.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
By the rest of the crowd. Done all I could.
It ain't my fault thing who was rescued. I don't
like alibis, but the ain't a man alive can do
more than that.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
You ain't done good enough, Crowley.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
That's the point. What I can't just remember I'm the
man put you in office.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
I forgot that I'm the man can get charrible, I know,
mister Bush, but.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
What more can I do than what I am The
sheriff needs arresting the crooks and garden.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I'm doing it, sure, That's what I've done. That's what
I've been.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Doing all along.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I need ask you to give evidence, Ginham.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I've done that, Michelle. He yet a trial and been
town guilty.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
But the flakes, when they was all set to get hung,
they was rescued by some mask man on a white horse.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
But he rides like lightning the way he handles him two.
Speaker 8 (03:12):
Guns and hears a man hasn't a chance.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Tod who like alibis?
Speaker 9 (03:16):
I told you that before probably, Hey, Alibi and mister
Burrish as well as I do.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
That white horse is a devil and four legs a rider, ain't.
Speaker 9 (03:26):
Yeah, it's all covered within six guns of his before
we could see Jack Robinson.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Then you shall get some deputies.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
As for Coromodrare, I tell you Crowley, I don't.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Like the way things are gone here. Who is that
mask man in a house? I don't know?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Like us not.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
He's an alcohol wearing a mask, lanky durs I mercy,
then why don't you arrest him?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
And him tried and hum, but you can't find him.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I'm heading me on hunting. It's a true. I've had
parties out ever since then.

Speaker 6 (04:17):
Well, who to trust me? I didn't want to ask
me to ever since I.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Got in office.

Hey, you know, mister Bush, I've been't thinking, Well, you're
sort of dissatisfied to the way I'm in doing my job.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Why shouldn't I be two men I figured to get
rid of at this time, all I'll free somewhere.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Well, you ain't.
Speaker 9 (05:49):
The only one that ain't satisfied with things is to

a jail cell waiting to hold you.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
I mean, I got evidence to put you in jail,
same as I got it against my honor enemies.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Hey, look over by the jail a white horse.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
If that's the same man, use your gun nothing, get
the two of them.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
They're getting to the saddle.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
Never figuredly try and get last away before his file.
Speaker 12 (06:35):
Three of my enemy's out loose, and all say by
the same man, crolly, I'm beginning.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
To think your scheming things again made.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
In spite of the efforts of put in crawling, the
lone ranger had effected the rescue of each of the
three men, praymed by the pair. After his last exploit,
the man returned to his camp with Steve Larson, the
third of the rescue of prisoner.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Soa, this is Steve Lawson. I just helped him to
escape from jail. Oh that what?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I don't say this at all?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Who are you?
Speaker 11 (07:26):
I hope to be your friend, Lawson.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
Want you bust me out of the chair so you
wouldn't be tried.
Speaker 11 (07:30):
And hung for murder? But they didn't have no evidence
against me.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
They didn't have evidence against the other two men. But
both of them are ready to hang. You're the man
that rescued there, Yes, sdo and I well are they
now say for the time being, just what are you
up to mister, what's the mask for?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
I brought you here to ask questions of you, not
to answer yours.
Speaker 12 (07:48):
I suppose I should be dogged going greatfuls for.
Speaker 11 (07:50):
Here, but I ain't.
Speaker 12 (07:51):
I'm not asking for your gratitude like I tried and
freed that in all right, But if it stands now,
I'm an alcohol.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Yes, my wife is handtown, so's my kid.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
I can't never go.
Speaker 12 (08:02):
Back to see them. My busting out of the jail
is the same as confession my guilt. 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.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Was at home with Mary and little Jerry.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
That wouldn't clear you, Larson. Remember Ben Bushes against you?
Speaker 6 (08:18):
It's skim and corn cats.
Speaker 12 (08:20):
Some day he's gonna get all that's common to him.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
That's what I'm working for. You know about him?
Speaker 12 (08:25):
Not all that I want to know.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
You tell me about him.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
He's got so much money.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
He does whatever he turned pleases.
Speaker 12 (08:30):
I've been told that you have money in his bank,
didn't you. Oh my savings about three thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
That's just the point.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
Frisbee and Slade had their money in his bank. That's
why they were framed for murder.
Speaker 12 (08:42):
See do you mean to say they want guilty of murders? No,
but the evidence fly four men seen him do the shooting.
Those four men were paid to tell the jury that story.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Why Bush? Yes, what's his game?
Speaker 11 (08:54):
Larson?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Bush takes the money people put in his bank, steals it. Yes,
and before the muney he can be claimed.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
The arrangers for the owner to get into trouble, and
Sheriff Crowley works him in glove with him.
Speaker 12 (09:05):
See do you mean to tell me out of face
what Frisbee and Slade did?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yes? If it have been men on the stand and
swear they.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
See me shoot a man, that's just what would have happened.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Why they don't roll Bush?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
A schemer in a poll camp.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
What do you know about him?
Speaker 12 (09:18):
I know he never gives a man a chance to
pay him a mortgage if he hasn't a little later. Yes,
he swindles in cheats wherever he can. I always told
he's stuck to the letter of the law.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
No, he doesn't even do that.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
What am I to do now?
Speaker 11 (09:31):
I want you to help me.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
How I'm going to ask you the same question I asked.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Slade and Frisbee, Eh, will you take your freedom on
a chance that you might hang rather than spend the
rest of your life as an outlaw? I don't save
as you stand right now, you're safely away from the jail.
You can leave my camp and go where you want to,
but you'll always.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Be hunted by the law for a crime you didn't do.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
That.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
If you will help me and risk being captured, there's
a chance to put Ben Bush and Sheriff Crowley where
they belong, and then you can return the town of
free men. Life wouldn't mean much to time me away
from my wife and kid.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Then I can count on you.
Speaker 11 (10:03):
Yes, I suppose.
Speaker 12 (10:04):
Frisbee slave decided different, being his ain't around here.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
But I'll go in with you. They've made the same choice. Yeah, Gus,
and the four of us are working to get it.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
We're a fire of us, counting my friend Taddle. Oh yeah, Larcen.
From now on, don't ask questions, just do what you're
told and count on us.
Speaker 12 (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 and trust you.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I'm taking your orders.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
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 posse scoured the country in search
of the masked man and his companions, but without success.
The hunt continued for several days.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Bush became in things over the delay. At length, the banker.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Approached Crowley in the cafe and spoke heatedly.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I could really make a clean up if I.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Can come on you at all.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
But I can't, sirs, the bullsha, I'm doing all a
man kindle.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Ain't found the one in the barn and three four including.

open the big account of the banks.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
If only I could counsel and you one.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Next one won't get away from me. I promise you
that there won't be a next one for some time.
It takes a while for me to line things up here.
Speaker 11 (11:31):
I'll tell you, chair, confess it's been a shooting down
the road.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
If he's here shooting, come on quick, if you can

Speaker 2 (14:12):
The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone
Ranger drama. Before the next exciting themes, please permit us
to pause for just a few moments, and now on
(15:07):
with our story.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
You will recall that in the first act.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Of tonight'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. The lone ranger, however,
had freed the convicted men as part of a plan
to bring Bush and Crowley to justice. Then the fourth
(15:31):
man ended the story. His name was Mark Him, and
he was discovered standing over an Indian he was accused
of killing. That same afternoon. Mark Him had placed a
large sum of money in the bank. Bush saw another
opportunity to frame an important depositor.
Speaker 11 (15:45):
Pull on our shelves, kids, you listen to me for
just a minute or so.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Oh talk fair sir, where is it? You ain't even
look to make sure the Redskins did before you tail
me for murder.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Will do the looking lad.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
We don't take chances with Thank you. Then make that
banker give me back the paper he took from me.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Han't nothing many scrap of paper.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
I throwed it away.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
It's a receipt for the cash I beg in your
place today, Bush. I suppose now you'll claim I ain't
no money there and keep it for yourself.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Take him in chaff yep, oh my hand.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
What the redskin. I'll go back and see if he's
dead for sure.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
No, you won't. What the massman again, you'll stand by
when you are calling.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
If he gets this prisoner away from you, I'll hagger
it out in town on the rail.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I'm not after your prisoner. I'm here to take the
Indian away with me. See here, you you're under a
red He's off from a man who doesn't there to
reach for his gun.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Shoot him, Crowley, don't stand there like a sniling coward.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Non shoot up planet.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
I'm still holding one gun on you.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Now, it's a chance while he's planning a heist, the
redskin on his horse.
Speaker 10 (16:46):
And you think you can come patent, he's grease lighting
with a gun, mister port So.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Now's a chance he shoot shoot him. I'll try give him, Crowley,
but try again.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
He's still riding.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Tain't no use.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Worse, he's out of sight in the dark horse.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
He's riding his grease lighting.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
What did he want the dead engine for her?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Don't ask me?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Well see that you don't let the prisoner get away.
Blast it, ol Crowley, 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 Swift into their camp.
There they were met by the three fugitives who had
agreed to assist in carrying.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Out his plans. See how did it come out? What
happened this thing? What did you do?
Speaker 8 (17:56):
Everything worked out just as we hope. They didn't even
examine some See he's been shot enough?
Speaker 11 (18:01):
Can you beat that? It's just like Cash said.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
The Sheriff's are cooking, so is Bush. Not only that
they made sure to get the bank deposits slip away
from mark Him Bush down. That didn't he yes, and
the sheriff permitted it. That means Mark Him will.
Speaker 12 (18:13):
Be slated to hang and he won't have a chance
of getting away, not unless the last man get him
away like he done us.
Speaker 8 (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. In the meantime,
Mark Him was put on trial. A jury was hastily
summoned and the evidence of a series of lying witnesses
presented to the court.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
Markheim calling his gun and fired the red skin dropped dead.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
That's all I got to say.
Speaker 11 (19:06):
Jed, that man lies shirt.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
You're out of order.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Mark, be quiet.
Speaker 11 (19:10):
But my gun wasn't even fires. The sheriff can tell
you that.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
How about that sheriff might have been fired, might not
have been.
Speaker 10 (19:19):
I dumped the cartridges out without looking to see your
railroad me to the hangman's rope.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
That's what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
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. What's
the progress of a trial with keen interest? We hear
the mask man as he addresses.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
One of his companions, Frisbee. Yeah. Those witnesses the same
ones and testified against you.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Yes they are. We had plenty to say, Kidney, the
same man.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Yeah, dirty minutes all being paid for that my pan Bush.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Just wait, I'd like to get in there and have
mice not yet. Look, the jury's going out now part time,
hasn't Maddy's fools saying it? Wait until the jury comes in.
Speaker 4 (20:12):

Speaker 4 (20:14):
Wait and watch what he attend.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
The money hanged shucks, I wouldn't let wonder a thousand
You don't.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
He didn't get a square trial, not even a man to.
Speaker 3 (20:49):

this time. Tarreth himself is the biggest crocable.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Let yourself get here saying that there's a Jerry coming back.
Jerry is a hang in one. That's how I quiet here.
Order in the court, Sheriff Prowley, you're acting as cler
