Speaker 4 (08:32):
Well are you asking me if I did?
Speaker 5 (08:35):
It?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Meant most everybody in Dodge thinks you did? And what
do you think? Well, I've been telling everybody I've known
Ben Temple a long time and that he's hot tempered,
and that Frank Paris has been proud name every chance
he had. But the Paris didn't even have his gun out. Besides,
he was shot in the back. What are people saying
(08:57):
to that? That's then you're a friend of mine. I
think that's why I haven't arrested you.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
We'll use it.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I'd go after my own brother if I thought he
murdered a man.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Ben happened yesterday morning? Sometimes, did I, Matt?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
I got no alibi for then. I wasn't with nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That's too bad. It would have helped.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I might have shot Frank Perry someday he met, but
never in the back.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I know that, Ben. But until I find out who
did it, you better lay low.
Speaker 13 (09:59):
Just look at this place, Matt, oh what's wrong, kitty.
Well maybe the biggest saloon in Dodge, but it's surely emptiest.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
G Frank Parris was a friend of yours, wasn't they?
I don't matter, and it doesn't matter that Ben Tipple's
a friend of mine. He didn't do it, Spangler.

There's a lot of people think you did more.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You're have any proof.
Speaker 7 (11:00):

Tipple out there, and I'll get it out of him.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I whipped him once already.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Look, Spangler, your boy had told me. If he's saying anybody,
why would he try to protect Ben Temple? Scared scared

I heard a shot some time ago, and I come

scared when I heard you ride up, so I hid.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
You didn't see anybody.
Speaker 11 (05:39):
No, I didn't see nothing. Whoever did it was gone.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
Oh my goodness, mister Young, the way Frank and Ben
Tipple was carrying on. You don't suppose Ben could have
did it?
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Do you? I know he's a good friend of yours.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No, never mind, Chester Well, let's get back to town.
Come on, Annie, you can ride behind me. That whistling
(06:28):
man Bobby Haggart really started something tonight. The Calypso Boys
join in. Ready, Amigos.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Packs more pleasure, packs more pleasure. Chesterfield packs more pleasure
because Chesterfield's more perfectly packed.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
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 Accurrae Chesterfield is firm and pleasing to
the lips. Mild yet deeply satisfied. Yes, Chesterfield gives you
(07:14):
something no other cigarette can give you.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
Chesterfield packs more pleasure because Chesterfield's more perfectly packed.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
To the touch, to the taste. Chesterfield packs more pleasure
because it's more perfectly packed by Chesterfield. Mild, yet they
satisfy the most.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
M hell I've Ben, I'm mad. Come in.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Uh, I was about to take a little nap. Now
schooled offs? Uh?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Ben, you heard what happened to Frank Paris yesterday? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah, I heard?
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Well are you asking me if I did?
Speaker 5 (08:35):
It?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Meant most everybody in Dodge thinks you did? And what
do you think? Well, I've been telling everybody I've known
Ben Temple a long time and that he's hot tempered,
and that Frank Paris has been proud name every chance
he had. But the Paris didn't even have his gun out. Besides,
he was shot in the back. What are people saying
(08:57):
to that? That's then you're a friend of mine. I
think that's why I haven't arrested you.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
We'll use it.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I'd go after my own brother if I thought he
murdered a man.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Ben happened yesterday morning? Sometimes, did I, Matt?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
I got no alibi for then. I wasn't with nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That's too bad. It would have helped.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I might have shot Frank Perry someday he met, but
never in the back.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I know that, Ben. But until I find out who
did it, you better lay low.
Speaker 13 (09:59):
Just look at this place, Matt, oh what's wrong, kitty.
Well maybe the biggest saloon in Dodge, but it's surely emptiest.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Oh, you're getting greedy, kiddy, and.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
It's about time. I'm you're not getting younger.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You're gonna be able to retire before you're thirty.
Speaker 11 (10:15):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well, I'm glad somebody's getting rich around here. Law sure isn't.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
No, but the law keeps busy.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Huh.
Speaker 13 (10:25):
Joe Spangler and his paw. I think he's looking for you, matt.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Oh evening, Miss Kiddy, evening.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
I want to talk to you, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Go ahead, Spangler.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I don't know why you ain't got Ben Tippling.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
G Frank Parris was a friend of yours, wasn't they?
I don't matter, and it doesn't matter that Ben Tipple's
a friend of mine. He didn't do it, Spangler.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
There's a lot of people think you did more.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You're have any proof.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
I'm a boy and here I think he saw a
Tipple out there, and I'll get it out of him.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I whipped him once already.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Look, Spangler, your boy had told me. If he's saying anybody,
why would he try to protect Ben Temple? Scared scared
of what.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
You what you might do to him if he.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Talked just a minute, Spangler, Now.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
He's gonna talk before I'm through.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You can get out of here. You're making me mad.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
No, I didn't mean to do that, Marshall. All I
wanted is to get you to do your job before
somebody has to do it for you.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
He's he mad.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah, I to take him apart.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
That wouldn't help him.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
It'd make me feel better.
Speaker 13 (12:01):
You'll be all right soon you find out who did
kill pass.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
How am I gonna find that out? Kitty? With all
