Speaker 1 (00:12):
Around Dodge City and in the territory on West. There
is just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.
And that's where the US Marshal and the smell of
guns smoke.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Gone.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Will Spoke, starring William Conrad, the story of the violence
that moved west with young America and the story of
a man who moved with it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal, the first
man they look for and the less they want to meet.
It's a chancy job and it makes a man watchful
and a little lonely.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Mmmuh, oh, kitty, it's you.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Come in, Come in.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Yeah, it's me such as I am.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
It's a little early for dinner, isn't it. Besides, you
didn't have to come up here after me. Well this
is a professional call.
Speaker 2 (01:44):

Speaker 5 (01:45):
Take a look at my eye? Well you oh, I
was sure. I will come over here at the light man.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Well you can hardly see it.
Speaker 9 (02:19):
It felt like our whole scuttle of cold.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
It doesn't take much to make your eye feel that way.
I'll give you something to wash it out with for
a day. Yeah, okay, Doc, you heard from that? Huh
not a word.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Seems to me you expected to be back, but now,
well he did. There's a trial starting up at Hayes
City today or tomorrow. I think Matt's supposed to testify.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Oh, yes, yes, you're right, I remember that now.
Speaker 9 (02:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Maybe he and Chester you're making a pleasure trip out
of it.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Uh huh. Maybe they find some decent weather and aren't
hurrying to get back.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Well, it wouldn't take much to improve on the weather
we've got here, I'll say that.

weather away from Dodge.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
Sure be too bad, Marshall. If you wand up backing
them out before you pick me.
Speaker 2 (03:43):

any good.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
It ain't a very long.

light a way. It ain't decent.
Speaker 12 (10:11):

spend a telegram.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
It ain't nothing so important. It couldn't have waited, I writes,
I shouldn't be opening up till tomorrow morning anyway.
Speaker 12 (10:22):
Oh, cheer up, mister Weeds. It won't take long.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
Tramping around in the mud and the rain.

I had the place all locked up for the night.
I'll come in, come in, don't you hear? I got
to get the line open up.
Speaker 11 (10:53):
Sure, it's funny the way things happen running into pause
friend after all.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
These years, tell me this one was a friend of
your Pause.
Speaker 11 (11:02):
No, not exactly, No, No, not this one. Matt Dillon.
He's out at the place, Dylan. That's right, mister Weans.
He rode in this afternoon. Didn't know I was there?
Speaker 8 (11:17):
Of course, I bet he didn't.
Speaker 12 (11:20):
What do you mean by that.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
He wouldn't have come if he'd knowed?
Speaker 11 (11:23):
Well, that doesn't make any sense, mister Weans. Well, I've
never done anything to scare him a way that I
know of.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
It ain't seen way that you joke about it.
Speaker 11 (11:32):
I'm not joking, mister Weans. I was just glad to
see him, that's all. Good friend of Pause Like.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
He was such a good friend that he killed him.
Speaker 12 (11:40):
What did you say?
Speaker 8 (11:44):
Oh? Well, no, I'm sorry if you didn't know it, Delia.
But I still stick to what I say.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I'd be mighty dog on. Try what I was saying,
mister Dilan. Need a man to kill a brain?
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Well, the whole town knows about it.
Speaker 11 (11:59):
Tell me what you mean, Oh now, Dan, go on,
mister Wims tell me, well.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
Now, Delia, I ain't liking it that I'm the one
to tell you tell me, well, it ain't exactly like
Dylan pulled the trigger on Ben.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I'd bet my boots on.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
That it amounted to the same thing, though. Tell me
what happened, well, your pa, Well, he was in some
kind of ambush out there at the place. Dylan come
by and wouldn't raise a hand to help him. He
was just panning there when Ben was shot down.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 12 (12:39):
Why didn't somebody tell me this before?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Why?
Speaker 8 (12:42):
I I guess folks figured it'd be easier if you
didn't know that.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You sure made her feel easier about it, right now,
ain't you.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
Well it's different with Dylan out there at the place.
It ain't right that she shouldn't know.
Speaker 12 (12:56):
No, it sure isn't. I want you to get out
(13:37):
of here.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
We daily.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
I thought you were coming back to on the morning.
Speaker 12 (13:41):
I don't want you here. I don't want you here
till morning.
Speaker 11 (13:44):
What you're talking about pretending to be my father's friend.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
Oh so that's it, Helia.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I was your father's friend.
Speaker 12 (13:55):
So you killed him?
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Is that it?
Speaker 10 (13:56):
I didn't kill him, You might as well have you
let him die.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
What did they tell him?
Speaker 11 (14:03):
They told me that you stood by and saw him
shot down.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I tried to help him, did you how by turning
your back? I told him to give himself up, but
he wouldn't did it. I don't blame the folks in
town for keeping it from him, But I expect.
Speaker 12 (14:17):
You had to find out some day, find out what.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It was the law who killed your father? Did you
not me.
Speaker 12 (14:26):
The law?
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Bennett pulled a hold up.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
He wanted to make his steak quicker than the two
of us were doing it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Riding from job to job.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
He always said he wanted things nice for you. Well, anyway,
he held up a bank.
Speaker 12 (14:46):
And you turned him in.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
No, I didn't turn him in.
Speaker 12 (14:49):
He rode with the law to get him there.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I didn't do that either.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I was here with him, right in this room when
the posse came, and you didn't help it. I tried
to get him to give himself up, but you wouldn't
fight with him. I'm sorry, did you? I think that
this country needs the law?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I always did.
Speaker 12 (15:06):
How how did it happen?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
And he tried to break out and they shut him.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I buried him. However, the Big.
Speaker 11 (15:19):
Tree expecting me to thank you for that?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
No, I don't expect you to thank me for anything.
But I never considered your father less of a friend.
Speaker 11 (15:32):
Well I consider you less of one. I want you
to go now.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I'm sorry you feel that.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
I don't care how sorry you feel. I want you
to get out now.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
You listen to me daily. I don't like it much.
Stay and where I'm not wanted. But here's where I'm
gonna stay until that horse out there. I can travel.
Speaker 12 (15:45):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I can, and I will.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I don't hang onto this gun until we leave. I
don't like it any better than you do, but that's
the way.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's gonna be.
Speaker 11 (15:58):
Save you're right at the storm the horses right out
of the barn.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And I'm gonna have a look at him.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
You just rest easy. We'll be out of here just
as soon as we can travel. Now, that's a promise, hey, little.

Speaker 7 (17:20):
Oh, sure you do, little lady, Sure you do. Cut

Speaker 5 (17:25):
Just like your Paul would have done, you know, his prisoner.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Well he he lets your Paul be a prisoner too, now,
ain't that right.
Speaker 8 (17:35):

Well, maybe you're right.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I'm sure I am. I cut me loose.
Speaker 12 (17:48):
Yeah, but he's got all the gun.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Well, it ain't gonna matter none.
Speaker 7 (17:53):

just be by that door when he comes in. I
could smash him with a chair and we'll see who's
got the gun. Come on, now, come on, we ain't
got all the time in the world.

that moved west with young America and the story of
a man who moved with it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal, the first
man they look for and the less they want to meet.
It's a chancy job and it makes a man watchful
and a little lonely.

Mmmuh, oh, kitty, it's you.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Come in, Come in.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Yeah, it's me such as I am.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
It's a little early for dinner, isn't it. Besides, you
didn't have to come up here after me. Well this
is a professional call.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Doc.
Speaker 5 (01:45):

It felt like our whole scuttle of cold.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
It doesn't take much to make your eye feel that way.
I'll give you something to wash it out with for
a day. Yeah, okay, Doc, you heard from that? Huh
not a word.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Seems to me you expected to be back, but now,
well he did. There's a trial starting up at Hayes
City today or tomorrow. I think Matt's supposed to testify.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Oh, yes, yes, you're right, I remember that now.
Speaker 9 (02:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Maybe he and Chester you're making a pleasure trip out
of it.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Uh huh. Maybe they find some decent weather and aren't
hurrying to get back.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Well, it wouldn't take much to improve on the weather
we've got here, I'll say that.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
H yes, here, I bet you that was they're doing today.
Speaker 7 (03:04):
They're taking a nice and easy and enjoying some good
weather away from Dodge.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It's done, Yeah, Chester, I.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Don't rightly see how you can borrow the trail no more.
Through all this, there ain't nothing but moving mud.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I think I know where we are.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Sure be too bad, Marshall. If you wand up backing
them out before you pick me.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Up, don't worry about it. Kill It wouldn't do you
any good.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Yeah, my friends might say different. It ain't nothing too cozy.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
About the law.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I didn't help you before. Well, now we turned down

I'll come in, come in, don't you hear? I got
to get the line open up.
Speaker 11 (10:53):
Sure, it's funny the way things happen running into pause
friend after all.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
These years, tell me this one was a friend of
your Pause.
Speaker 11 (11:02):
No, not exactly, No, No, not this one. Matt Dillon.
He's out at the place, Dylan. That's right, mister Weans.
He rode in this afternoon. Didn't know I was there?
Speaker 8 (11:17):
Of course, I bet he didn't.
Speaker 12 (11:20):
What do you mean by that.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
He wouldn't have come if he'd knowed?
Speaker 11 (11:23):
Well, that doesn't make any sense, mister Weans. Well, I've
never done anything to scare him a way that I
know of.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
It ain't seen way that you joke about it.
Speaker 11 (11:32):
I'm not joking, mister Weans. I was just glad to
see him, that's all. Good friend of Pause Like.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
He was such a good friend that he killed him.
Speaker 12 (11:40):
What did you say?
Speaker 8 (11:44):
Oh? Well, no, I'm sorry if you didn't know it, Delia.
But I still stick to what I say.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I'd be mighty dog on. Try what I was saying,
mister Dilan. Need a man to kill a brain?
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Well, the whole town knows about it.
Speaker 11 (11:59):
Tell me what you mean, Oh now, Dan, go on,
mister Wims tell me, well.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
Now, Delia, I ain't liking it that I'm the one
to tell you tell me, well, it ain't exactly like
Dylan pulled the trigger on Ben.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I'd bet my boots on.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
That it amounted to the same thing, though. Tell me
what happened, well, your pa, Well, he was in some
kind of ambush out there at the place. Dylan come
by and wouldn't raise a hand to help him. He
was just panning there when Ben was shot down.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 12 (12:39):
Why didn't somebody tell me this before?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Why?
Speaker 8 (12:42):
I I guess folks figured it'd be easier if you
didn't know that.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You sure made her feel easier about it, right now,
ain't you.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
Well it's different with Dylan out there at the place.
It ain't right that she shouldn't know.
Speaker 12 (12:56):
No, it sure isn't. I want you to get out
(13:37):
of here.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
We daily.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
I thought you were coming back to on the morning.
Speaker 12 (13:41):
I don't want you here. I don't want you here
till morning.
Speaker 11 (13:44):
What you're talking about pretending to be my father's friend.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
Oh so that's it, Helia.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I was your father's friend.
Speaker 12 (13:55):
So you killed him?
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Is that it?
Speaker 10 (13:56):
I didn't kill him, You might as well have you
let him die.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
What did they tell him?
Speaker 11 (14:03):
They told me that you stood by and saw him
shot down.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I tried to help him, did you how by turning
your back? I told him to give himself up, but
he wouldn't did it. I don't blame the folks in
town for keeping it from him, But I expect.
Speaker 12 (14:17):
You had to find out some day, find out what.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It was the law who killed your father? Did you
not me.
Speaker 12 (14:26):
The law?
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Bennett pulled a hold up.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
He wanted to make his steak quicker than the two
of us were doing it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Riding from job to job.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
He always said he wanted things nice for you. Well, anyway,
he held up a bank.
Speaker 12 (14:46):
And you turned him in.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
No, I didn't turn him in.
Speaker 12 (14:49):
He rode with the law to get him there.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I didn't do that either.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I was here with him, right in this room when
the posse came, and you didn't help it. I tried
to get him to give himself up, but you wouldn't
fight with him. I'm sorry, did you? I think that
this country needs the law?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I always did.
Speaker 12 (15:06):
How how did it happen?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
And he tried to break out and they shut him.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I buried him. However, the Big.
Speaker 11 (15:19):
Tree expecting me to thank you for that?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
No, I don't expect you to thank me for anything.
But I never considered your father less of a friend.
Speaker 11 (15:32):
Well I consider you less of one. I want you
to go now.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I'm sorry you feel that.
Speaker 11 (15:37):
I don't care how sorry you feel. I want you
to get out now.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
You listen to me daily. I don't like it much.
Stay and where I'm not wanted. But here's where I'm
gonna stay until that horse out there. I can travel.
Speaker 12 (15:45):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I can, and I will.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I don't hang onto this gun until we leave. I
don't like it any better than you do, but that's
the way.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's gonna be.
Speaker 11 (15:58):
Save you're right at the storm the horses right out
of the barn.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And I'm gonna have a look at him.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
You just rest easy. We'll be out of here just
as soon as we can travel. Now, that's a promise, hey, little.

Just like your Paul would have done, you know, his prisoner.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Well he he lets your Paul be a prisoner too, now,

Well, maybe you're right.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I'm sure I am. I cut me loose.
Speaker 12 (17:48):
Yeah, but he's got all the gun.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Well, it ain't gonna matter none.

just be by that door when he comes in. I
could smash him with a chair and we'll see who's
got the gun. Come on, now, come on, we ain't
