Around odd 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 Marshall and the smell of
gun smoked gun moves Bot Starrying William Conrad, the story
(00:43):
of the violin that moved west with young America, and
the story of a man who moved with it.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I'm that man, Matt Dyllon United States Marshall, the first
man they looked for and the last they want to meet.
It's a chance, a job, someone watchful and a little
lone lady.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
More coffee, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Uh yes, ma'am, I guess so how about how about

the table, miss.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's civilization, Chester progress. You know another five years in
Dodge City will be tamed and curried and bridled.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
Uh, seeing and believing, mister Donny, you will say it,
we'll both.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Said as if we live that. Well, I beg your pardon, gentlemen.
Uh yeah, you the Marshall here, that's right. Well, I'm
sorry to bother you at your breakfast, Marshall. My name
is Hunter, Ed Hunter. I'm a deputy sheriffrom Richmond, Virginia.
Came in on the train this morning, I say, wants
you to pull up a chairman's Hunter. Oh, thank you, sir.
This is my first trip to the front, yet I
(02:21):
find it a rather remarkable experience. I imagine. Oh that's my
Assistantester Proudford.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
How are you, sir?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Look like hazard coffee?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
No, no, Ed Marshall.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I've come out here to arrest two men who are
wanted in Virginia. Kid the warrants and the orders of extradition.
I stopped off and to peak a far him and
John Allison Alvin Moore, both wanted per murder. You know
these men, stunter, No, sir, I don't. Names aren't permitted
(02:52):
to me. I never heard of them. Well, I have
some information that might help. Not much on Alice, and
I'm afraid he shot and killed Ana and Greenbrier last spring.
He's about thirty years old, dark haired, mustache, medium build,
excellent horseman, confirmed gambler, fine, that Narrowsidando about two thirds
of the man in the city. Possibly I'd do a
(03:15):
bit better regard to the other man, Calvin Moore. He
came down to Richmond from the north. He was about
thirty three at the time. He ambushed and shot young
Roger bore God and left town. Now that was nineteen
years ago. Bore Good family been trying to trace him
ever since. I'm afraid that I haven't. I have a
picture of this more photograph. Oh yeah, cause he's much
(03:39):
younger than this. Oh is it mortal? Something familiar about
the picture? Nineteen years Hm, he'd be somewhere past fifty, now, eh?
You sure these men are here in Dodge, Misshunter? Reasonably so?
Now is there something about the photograph? Why it was
too blurred to tell much about it? And besides he'd
(03:59):
be nineteen years older? And now, oh that's true. I
I'll tell you what, mister hnn. I want you to
leave me this picture and the descriptions and uh, and
I'll check around Tom keep in touch with Ah. I
thank you, sir, and I wonder could you suggest a
good hotel? Yeah, why don't you try the Dodge Houses
a corner of Railroad Avenue at the east end of
the plaza. You tell mister w I sent you. Thank
you again, Marshall. I'm grateful for any help you can
(04:21):
give me in this matter of shirt. How long you
want to see the photograph?

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, sure?
Speaker 6 (04:33):
H oh, how mich nil mar that's yeah, what are
you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
He's not here. I don't know, Chester. He's my friend,
but now the law says he's a murderer and I'm
part of the law.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Oh maybe it ain't him, mich.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
You No, it's him alright, Chester. You so it's the
same as I did.
Speaker 3 (05:00):

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Stuck, work, work, work, work, Eh.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
This is the first chance I've had this week to
clean a few instruments properly. Gunshot wounds, Mad, I'd lay odds.
I'm the only doctor in the United States who makes
three fourths of his living off a gunshot wound.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
That's a rough country hockey. Maybe, Uh, you ought to
stay back East.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Broken bones and babies and gunshot wounds. I wouln't know
the first thing about a good civilized case of gout anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Part of the East. Did you come from a.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Medical school in Boston. I studied consumption and colic liver complaints.
You never had a case of liver complaint all the
time I've been out here.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Uh. I guess that kind of thing is more common
down the South, around the Richmond, Virginia, for instance.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
So I stop beating around the bush. You've got something
on your mind and it's bothering you, alright, Doc.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
A deputy sheriff from Virginia came in on the morning train.
He's got a warrant for murder against a man named
Calvin Moore, and a photograph of Moore had taken nineteen
years ago. Would you like to take a look at it.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
I don't think some of that.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
How you Kelvin's Moore?
Speaker 6 (06:46):
It wasn't murdering mat They said he was murder of course.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Would you like to tell me about it?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Not much to tell.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I had been in practice in Richmond about a year.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
There was a girl.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
H This was a beautiful girl with spirit and fire
and that soft radiance that only seven girls seemed to
have me. It was so long ago.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I better to solve myself.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Dartor we Jim Boa Guard and I were both caughting
this girl. He was a typical Virginia gentleman, hot headed,
used to having his own way. He started threatening me,
warning me, and I laughed it off.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Well.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Then one day I was coming back from acasion. I
ran into gym on the country road. He had a
pair of dueling pistols, and he challenged me, Well, it's not.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
A crime self defense. It's not a crime here anyway.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
I tried to talk him out of it, but he
was crazy mad. He shoved one of the pistols in
my hand and pulled back on his horse and leveled
his gun.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I had no choice.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
We both fired. He missed, and I didn't self defense. Yes,
but there were no witnesses and that and I was
an outsider, a Yankee.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
So you're raning for it? Is that it?
Speaker 6 (08:03):
I ran for it. Saint Louis, Virginia city is the Panhandle,
Abilene Dodge.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, the girl. Do what happened to the girl?
Speaker 6 (08:19):
I waited for him in Saint Louis. We were married
there two months later. She she died typhoid fever.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
I can't go back there, man, I've got no defense.
It mean prison. I grew up in prison. I won't
go back the hunter here after.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Two prisoners dark, I got no right to my own rules.
Go after one min and keep the other one covered.
I've always figured the only kind of law that that'd
work out here is an honors law.
Speaker 6 (09:00):

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:05):

You gotta arrive a law man in town.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Marshall, I was a deputy here from Virginia. That's what
you mean.
Speaker 6 (10:17):

I'm short age. I'll run him out. No offense.

I haven't got much to go on. You know, Calvin
(11:39):
Maure was a doctor by profession. He might still be practicing.
I suggest we investigate local doctors, and that wouldn't take long.
We've only got one doc, Adams. How old a man
as he early fifties, I imagine, but he doesn't show
much resemblance that photograph he gave me. Maybe you're too
used to him to notice the retamber. Maybe I'd like
(12:00):
to look him over myself, mart I. He's pretty busy
out on calls most of the time, but not all.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Of the time.
Speaker 2 (12:06):

the story of a man who moved with it.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I'm that man, Matt Dyllon United States Marshall, the first
man they looked for and the last they want to meet.
It's a chance, a job, someone watchful and a little
lone lady.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
More coffee, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Uh yes, ma'am, I guess so how about how about

That's civilization, Chester progress. You know another five years in
Dodge City will be tamed and curried and bridled.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
Uh, seeing and believing, mister Donny, you will say it,
we'll both.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Said as if we live that. Well, I beg your pardon, gentlemen.
Uh yeah, you the Marshall here, that's right. Well, I'm
sorry to bother you at your breakfast, Marshall. My name
is Hunter, Ed Hunter. I'm a deputy sheriffrom Richmond, Virginia.
Came in on the train this morning, I say, wants
you to pull up a chairman's Hunter. Oh, thank you, sir.
This is my first trip to the front, yet I
(02:21):
find it a rather remarkable experience. I imagine. Oh that's my
Assistantester Proudford.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
How are you, sir?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Look like hazard coffee?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
No, no, Ed Marshall.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I've come out here to arrest two men who are
wanted in Virginia. Kid the warrants and the orders of extradition.
I stopped off and to peak a far him and
John Allison Alvin Moore, both wanted per murder. You know
these men, stunter, No, sir, I don't. Names aren't permitted
(02:52):
to me. I never heard of them. Well, I have
some information that might help. Not much on Alice, and
I'm afraid he shot and killed Ana and Greenbrier last spring.
He's about thirty years old, dark haired, mustache, medium build,
excellent horseman, confirmed gambler, fine, that Narrowsidando about two thirds
of the man in the city. Possibly I'd do a
(03:15):
bit better regard to the other man, Calvin Moore. He
came down to Richmond from the north. He was about
thirty three at the time. He ambushed and shot young
Roger bore God and left town. Now that was nineteen
years ago. Bore Good family been trying to trace him
ever since. I'm afraid that I haven't. I have a
picture of this more photograph. Oh yeah, cause he's much
(03:39):
younger than this. Oh is it mortal? Something familiar about
the picture? Nineteen years Hm, he'd be somewhere past fifty, now, eh?
You sure these men are here in Dodge, Misshunter? Reasonably so?
Now is there something about the photograph? Why it was
too blurred to tell much about it? And besides he'd
(03:59):
be nineteen years older? And now, oh that's true. I
I'll tell you what, mister hnn. I want you to
leave me this picture and the descriptions and uh, and
I'll check around Tom keep in touch with Ah. I
thank you, sir, and I wonder could you suggest a
good hotel? Yeah, why don't you try the Dodge Houses
a corner of Railroad Avenue at the east end of
the plaza. You tell mister w I sent you. Thank
you again, Marshall. I'm grateful for any help you can
(04:21):
give me in this matter of shirt. How long you
want to see the photograph?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Chester? Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, sure?
Speaker 6 (04:33):
H oh, how mich nil mar that's yeah, what are
you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
He's not here. I don't know, Chester. He's my friend,
but now the law says he's a murderer and I'm
part of the law.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Oh maybe it ain't him, mich.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
You No, it's him alright, Chester. You so it's the
same as I did.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Stuck, work, work, work, work, Eh.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
This is the first chance I've had this week to
clean a few instruments properly. Gunshot wounds, Mad, I'd lay odds.
I'm the only doctor in the United States who makes
three fourths of his living off a gunshot wound.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
That's a rough country hockey. Maybe, Uh, you ought to
stay back East.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Broken bones and babies and gunshot wounds. I wouln't know
the first thing about a good civilized case of gout anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Part of the East. Did you come from a.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Medical school in Boston. I studied consumption and colic liver complaints.
You never had a case of liver complaint all the
time I've been out here.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Uh. I guess that kind of thing is more common
down the South, around the Richmond, Virginia, for instance.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
So I stop beating around the bush. You've got something
on your mind and it's bothering you, alright, Doc.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
A deputy sheriff from Virginia came in on the morning train.
He's got a warrant for murder against a man named
Calvin Moore, and a photograph of Moore had taken nineteen
years ago. Would you like to take a look at it.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
I don't think some of that.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
How you Kelvin's Moore?
Speaker 6 (06:46):
It wasn't murdering mat They said he was murder of course.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Would you like to tell me about it?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Not much to tell.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I had been in practice in Richmond about a year.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
There was a girl.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
H This was a beautiful girl with spirit and fire
and that soft radiance that only seven girls seemed to
have me. It was so long ago.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I better to solve myself.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Dartor we Jim Boa Guard and I were both caughting
this girl. He was a typical Virginia gentleman, hot headed,
used to having his own way. He started threatening me,
warning me, and I laughed it off.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Well.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Then one day I was coming back from acasion. I
ran into gym on the country road. He had a
pair of dueling pistols, and he challenged me, Well, it's not.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
A crime self defense. It's not a crime here anyway.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
I tried to talk him out of it, but he
was crazy mad. He shoved one of the pistols in
my hand and pulled back on his horse and leveled
his gun.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I had no choice.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
We both fired. He missed, and I didn't self defense. Yes,
but there were no witnesses and that and I was
an outsider, a Yankee.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
So you're raning for it? Is that it?
Speaker 6 (08:03):
I ran for it. Saint Louis, Virginia city is the Panhandle,
Abilene Dodge.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, the girl. Do what happened to the girl?
Speaker 6 (08:19):
I waited for him in Saint Louis. We were married
there two months later. She she died typhoid fever.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
I can't go back there, man, I've got no defense.
It mean prison. I grew up in prison. I won't
go back the hunter here after.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Two prisoners dark, I got no right to my own rules.
Go after one min and keep the other one covered.
I've always figured the only kind of law that that'd
work out here is an honors law.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Dogs be a light lap?

You gotta arrive a law man in town.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Marshall, I was a deputy here from Virginia. That's what
you mean.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
I always figured you as a law here means shortness down.
Washington said the word will run him out.

I'm short age. I'll run him out. No offense.

You keep your run cunch tight and don't worry about
anybody else. And let's see your buncle.
Speaker 6 (10:38):

I haven't got much to go on. You know, Calvin
(11:39):
Maure was a doctor by profession. He might still be practicing.
I suggest we investigate local doctors, and that wouldn't take long.
We've only got one doc, Adams. How old a man
as he early fifties, I imagine, but he doesn't show
much resemblance that photograph he gave me. Maybe you're too
used to him to notice the retamber. Maybe I'd like
(12:00):
to look him over myself, mart I. He's pretty busy
out on calls most of the time, but not all.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Of the time.
Speaker 2 (12:06):

don't bring him.
Speaker 6 (12:12):

I started at the hotel.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
That fired from the doctor.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I care five back, but he got away. You gotta look,
I didn't know. I just saw the flashes. It's an
easy time to get killed in the counter. So it
seems about that doctor Marshall. You didn't bring him around.
