Speaker 1 (09:14):
Maybe you think Dodger's got so big I don't know
about everything.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
That goes on here. Well, if you do, you're wrong.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
If you think I don't know about the bank having
an overdue mortgage on your farm, you're wrong. Four hundred dollars.
There is reason enough for a struggling farmer like you.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
No, couldn't do such a thing. I am a human
being to.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
A peace officer, Ziglier, that's enough grounds for suspicion.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
But whether you did it or not will.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Be decided at your trial. In the meantime, you just
stop yammering about it.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Try me.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Even when I shoot somebody, a stand trial with they
find it's justifiable homicide, and they probably will, probably being
a wanted man, and they'll.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Let you off.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And if not, please, I am permitted to go.
Speaker 5 (09:53):

Sit right down. You want to be lynched. You're trying
to get yourself murdered. If you've forgotten about Clay's brother, Adam,
what difference does it make whether he believes it or not.
His brother's been killed. Everybody's looking to him to do
something about.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It, and he knows it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You want me to guess where he is right this minute.
He's in one of them saloons, lapping up courage to
come in here and ask me to give you to
him for a present.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
You want to know who's with him, ever a loaf, forever.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Bomb, ever slob in town, slapping him on the back
and telling him what a shame it is taking him
on to kill you so that they can have some
excitement and some fun. Maybe you deserve killing, but it's
my job to uphold the law and I'm not letting
you out of here. You might spend your time trying
to think up a better story, that is, if you
(10:46):
intend to stay in this town.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
All right now, think back.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Didn't Cleg offer his gun before you shot him?
Speaker 9 (10:52):
You?
Speaker 5 (10:52):

Speaker 9 (12:21):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (12:22):
Texas, California, Mexico. Don't accomplish things. They're not like living
in old cottonwood. If you let me go someday, when
i'm famous, you can tell people you help get me started.
Speaker 1 (12:35):

Speaker 8 (17:42):
Oh lord, I find them more beautiful all the time.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
Mat Have you heard what they're saying?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
What are they saying?
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Francy, you need that you made Pete Zigler kill him?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Because I'm sorry that got back to you.
Speaker 9 (17:55):
Franc It's all over. Dodge Adam Alma Stone with me
before they dragged him off.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Flanc I didn't say you believe me.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Francis is just one of those crazy stories.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
They needed one, and they made one.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
But mad everyone believes it. On my way down here,
people were pointing, whispering old women clucking their tongues at me.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
They believe it.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
They'll forget it as soon as this is over.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
They will remember that even if we once did go
with each other, it was finished and done with.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Even before the war ended, before you even met Clay.
Speaker 9 (18:33):
No, they won't forget it for the rest of my life,
as long as I stayed here.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, Doc, what is it?
Speaker 9 (18:43):
Am?
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I interrupted?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
What is it?
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Doc?
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Ourtops, he's finished. I examined his liver and lights.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
His lessus missus Richards doc.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Oh, oh, I beg your pardon.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Man, I'm sure I have made no disrespect for the departed.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Well, well, Clay was shot alright, But from innatch to
the wound and the coagulation of the blood, I'd say
it happened sometime yesterday. I'd say the cashier's bullet didn't
go wild, after all, I.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
Could a dead man gallop away.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
But the wound wasn't what killed Clay. The ball hit
the rib case and bounced off twenty two calibra it was.
And what deal killed him was the stab in the back,
right through the spine, inflicted sometime this morning now, near
as I can judge, by a small blade two three
inches long. It could have been a borrow knife. Thanks stuff, Hey,
they please accept when I can do them to mister Richard,
(19:30):
you call the inquest anytime you're ready.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Marshall chest him close the door.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You see, you see I didn't do it.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
I didn't shoot him?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
All right, then you stab day. Maybe you said you
never carried a gun.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Look, Francis, go home and give Matters a chance to.

There is reason enough for a struggling farmer like you.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
No, couldn't do such a thing. I am a human
being to.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
A peace officer, Ziglier, that's enough grounds for suspicion.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
But whether you did it or not will.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Be decided at your trial. In the meantime, you just
stop yammering about it.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Try me.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Even when I shoot somebody, a stand trial with they
find it's justifiable homicide, and they probably will, probably being
a wanted man, and they'll.

something about.

You want to know who's with him, ever a loaf, forever.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Bomb, ever slob in town, slapping him on the back
and telling him what a shame it is taking him
on to kill you so that they can have some
excitement and some fun. Maybe you deserve killing, but it's
my job to uphold the law and I'm not letting
you out of here. You might spend your time trying
to think up a better story, that is, if you

You don't keep scoring, son, It's something you try to
forget not me.
Speaker 11 (11:57):
Someday I'll be famous like you, and for every filler
I kill up, I'll put a notch on my gun.
People see those notches, and they don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
They better not try to let you run away from home, Bob,
Don't you know your mother is likely to worry about h.
Speaker 11 (12:11):
She won't worry. She's too busy working. You ain't gonna
make me go back or you wouldn't do that, would you, Well,

away again.

Oh, where are you off doing such a sweat?
Speaker 9 (12:21):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (12:22):
Texas, California, Mexico. Don't accomplish things. They're not like living
in old cottonwood. If you let me go someday, when
i'm famous, you can tell people you help get me started.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Uh well, well that's a pretty strong inducement.
Speaker 8 (12:38):

off the site.

Oh I didn't lock chest noser, not any I went
to the store first and asked mister Dentton what kind

When Adam left, he said he'd be coming back with
some friends.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Kin and know. I stopped with the olive began to
just now to wrench out of my mouth. Adam was
there talking mighty ugly and mighty big.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
He's got a size.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
We're falling. Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
I think he'll be safer here Chester, behind stone walls
and dodging about the streets, rubbing, necking.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
You keep your head down, shunning your hair.
Speaker 11 (17:34):
There's a manna talk to you.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
She ought to be in morning, if she cared for
clay and oil anymore.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
She ought to be in black Man.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Oh lord, I find them more beautiful all the time.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
Mat Have you heard what they're saying?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
What are they saying?
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Francy, you need that you made Pete Zigler kill him?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Because I'm sorry that got back to you.
Speaker 9 (17:55):
Franc It's all over. Dodge Adam Alma Stone with me
before they dragged him off.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Flanc I didn't say you believe me.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Francis is just one of those crazy stories.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
They needed one, and they made one.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
But mad everyone believes it. On my way down here,
people were pointing, whispering old women clucking their tongues at me.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
They believe it.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
They'll forget it as soon as this is over.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
They will remember that even if we once did go
with each other, it was finished and done with.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Even before the war ended, before you even met Clay.
Speaker 9 (18:33):
No, they won't forget it for the rest of my life,
as long as I stayed here.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, Doc, what is it?
Speaker 9 (18:43):
Am?
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I interrupted?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
What is it?
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Doc?
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Ourtops, he's finished. I examined his liver and lights.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
His lessus missus Richards doc.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Oh, oh, I beg your pardon.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Man, I'm sure I have made no disrespect for the departed.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Well, well, Clay was shot alright, But from innatch to
the wound and the coagulation of the blood, I'd say
it happened sometime yesterday. I'd say the cashier's bullet didn't
go wild, after all, I.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
Could a dead man gallop away.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
But the wound wasn't what killed Clay. The ball hit
the rib case and bounced off twenty two calibra it was.
And what deal killed him was the stab in the back,
right through the spine, inflicted sometime this morning now, near
as I can judge, by a small blade two three
inches long. It could have been a borrow knife. Thanks stuff, Hey,
they please accept when I can do them to mister Richard,
(19:30):
you call the inquest anytime you're ready.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Marshall chest him close the door.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You see, you see I didn't do it.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
I didn't shoot him?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
All right, then you stab day. Maybe you said you
never carried a gun.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Look, Francis, go home and give Matters a chance to.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Similar mat I'm gonna ask you for something. Yeah, turned
Pete sat an house into the street.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
All right, Francy, they're itch and they get their hands
on him.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Let them have him.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
You'll prove that story is a lie, that you didn't
make a deal with him.
Speaker 11 (20:08):
Please, ma'm I have to live here.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
Kill me.
Speaker 5 (20:11):

It's more effective when there's a mom to be dealt with.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Oh yes, or I am Ziggler and you two son.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
If problem starts lying flat on the floor and keep
your head down all the time, don't.

Go out and see what's happening. You understand me?
Speaker 11 (21:21):
Listens all right, Dylan.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Chester, I want you to stand here in the doorway
after I go out, where you can cover the.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Back door and meet at the same time. Yes, you will,
all right, Chester, open door.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
It's my duty to warn all of you that you're
in the breach of the peace.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I've sworn up all the wall, I've killed men in
order to do it, and I'm prepared to do so again.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
I asked you to be sensible and to leave quietly.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
But if you refuse to.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
Listen to reason, if you insist upon being fools, if
you've already decided to act like wolves instead of humans,
and there's nothing I can say to make you change
your minds.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
All right?
