is just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.
And that's where the US Marshal and The Smell of
Guns Smoke Gun spoke, starring William Conrad. The story of
(00:42):
the violence that moved west with young America and the
story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man,
Matt Dillon, United States Marshall. The first man they look
for and the less they want to meet. It's a chance,
a job, and it makes them unwatchful and a little Lonelyn. Oh,
(01:20):
if I don't understand that, I have no choice. We've
been friends a long time. I come here to the
office expecting help. Now you tell me you're gonna throw
me off my line. You saw the court order as
perfectly legal. I've got a servant.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh, I needs a little more time.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I'll make the payment, just like I made all the others.
You do have ten days.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
That ain't enough time, and you know it.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I poured too much wet and too many years into
that farm to lose it.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
But I owe on the whole.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Note don't amount too much. If I just have the time.
Did you talk to Bert Bert Donald, my old friend.

in the world. Sometimes that changes a man. He's flying
high as a hawk. Big cattle brokers, always proving it
to me. It's just plain spie, Matt, there's Jill.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I've got it. Oh, how he added.

I guess nobody can. I'll try to think of something man. Sure,
thanks anyway, all right, Chester, what's your problem?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's just terrible, Jill. Now I'm in trouble, real bad trouble.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You broke again. Yes, I mean that ain't the main trouble,
it says not that letter from Waco.
Speaker 2 (02:31):

and then woke.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
All right, it's from lawyers at Waco.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
We Well, don't you see, they're after me. They gonna
have me arrested.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Why And I didn't never tell you this, but one
time I borrowed.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Four dollars from fella down there. I was gonna pay
him back, but I never quite got around to it.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Now they're after me, That's what it says in the letter.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yes, sir, well, I mean I reckon, So I don't
know what else.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
It could be. Chester. Have you read the letter?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I've been too.

I think it is. I want to ask him in
front of these people to give me time to make payment.
On that note, Marshall, I got nothing to say to him.
Seems to me a man's got a right to have
a drink without nobody annoying. Luck Bert, it's kind of worried.
Maybe maybe you might reconcile, all right, I tried everything
(05:21):
I know to make you listen to reason. I even
begged in public, but I ain't gonna get down on
my knees and crawl. You ain't a man no more, Bert,
You're something slimy ought to be stepped on. It's enough
ed man like him don't deserve to live.

Somebody's gonna kill him. If nobody else does, it just
might be me.

All right, get out of here at go on home
right now going. Don't you look at me like that, Marshall.

Well, money bags and decided to join Yeah, so Chester,
thank you?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It ain't float on Chester, miss?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Don you know bead lead cheever is the fourth fella
in two days with a good id for investing my money.
And I hope you haven't done it well now, yeah,
I gotta have time to think it over.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Good because I have something here for you to think
over this that Chester is.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
A statement and accounted a bill balance?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Do twenty three dollars?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
What fall up, Paul? When I can't remember all of
it Chester, but just half hand I can recall the time.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You came to me with back miseries, heaves, stomach ache,
shooting pains.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And wheeze as well.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
And then there was a time you broke your toe
kicking the can that had a rocket it and the
splitter that I had to remove, and you.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Sat on the rear.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Hang on, doctor, But there wasn't official calls, and not
most of them was.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well, according to my calculations, that dual represents just about
one tenth of what you really owe me.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Well, I'm there, I'm ready for another bear.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
How about you? Man? Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I think that's fun of me too. Chest there. Now
that you have money, I think you should consider you're
a stunt of it. What I like buying around a
drink for the house, You don't mean fall in spongyars
near buddy. Well, as usual when a man has money
like you have now that could come to till five
dollars or better, you can afford that. When I wait
(11:15):
a minute, keitty, I think you're leading Chester into bad habits.
When a man has wealthy should use it wisely. He
should contribute to his community. Now, for example, you take
the US Marshals Office. Now there's an old stove there. Well,
if you know the right combination, but it smokes up
the whole place. Now that there's the marshals matters, well, yes,
now the governor take care of them thing, but they
(11:35):
don't Chester. So I thought that some wealthy, public spirited citizen.
How about the things you?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
How about my bill?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Ma Way? I sure didn't never believe my best friend
would dog a man just because all of a sudden
he's got rich.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Who's dogging you?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You are, all three of you, and I'm down right disappointed.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You know what you are? What you ain't?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Nothing but fortune hunters? Chester Chester, chut Chester. What what
(12:19):
are you doing sitting back here in the cell?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Rest in my eye?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Well, the light in the office is and all that right. Now,
come on, let's fix some coffee.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Huh, I eat thirsty?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Well, well you mind if I join your here?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It's a free jail.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Oh thank you, thank you? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Uh, you're so mad at us?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Oh eat mad? Exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's just that when a man's got business problems like
I got, and they keep waying on him, a man
don't expect his best friends to keep picking a magnetic nodge.
But still, it ain't easy to be rich.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I I don't wanna go around being show offee and
stuck up.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But like miss Kitty says, I got responsibility. Yester, Doc
and Kitty and I are interested in just two things
that you use your money wisely and that somebody doesn't
cheat you out of it.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
M you talk, I got a little bitty old baby.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
No, but uh, you must admit that you haven't had
this kind of a money problem before.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
M you live the other way around? How to get it?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Insider?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
What to do with it?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Okay? Hop us some coffee? Huh, well, I reckon, maybe
I have thirsted up some good. Come on Marshall. Hello,
Bert Marshall. I want you to arrest at Grimes. Huh
whine he tried to kill me. I was driving home
(13:53):
from town. He bush whacked me, put a bullet right
through my hat. Another inch and I wouldn't be here.
And I want m arrest it. Oh, make you secure?
It was that grind was it? Just said? No, just
seeing a man right off. But it's the only one
that want to kill me. You heard him say he
would ward all this happen, turn his crossing. All right,
I'll look look it ain't enough. I want him in

Speaker 2 (14:59):
That ain't so there was nothing to be ashamed of it.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
When it comes to poker, there's boys and there's men.
You can always play with the boys. Play with the boys.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Just you don't let nobody take that chair. I'll be
right back.
Speaker 1 (15:14):

a clutch amount of money out of that bank, and
i'll show that ten horn.

So he'll raise. I call, I'm three kings, so I
draw two queens, full house.
Speaker 2 (15:39):

I just look at him kindly cold.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Hello, Chester, I raised fifty dollars? What oh, eh, Ed,
I was thinking about something worry going. I don't know,
I raally, I don't know. Did you hear about Burt
Donald that story has about being bushwhacking home? I heard.
I heard he accuse me. But I couldn't shoot a
(16:06):
man from ambush, not even bird Donald? Both ed?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Have you had any luck it about borrowing the money.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I tried the bank, mister bakin wan loan money on
a second mortgage. I'm just finished one. Don't quit hoping it.

Maybe Miter duncan figure something out. Said no to do tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Oh yeah, I forgot it.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Well come on that.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'll by a beer, thanks Chester, I'd like one. Three
hundred and thirty forty fifty. Alright, virtue this mrk gout
no paid in full, and I'll get it to it.
Where'd he get the money? Robbed the bank? Never mind?
(16:50):
You got paid, and I'll sign up and get out.
I'll sun. But I ain't finished to him. It's still
a matter of him trying to kill me. Oh do
you take me for a fool? But what do you
mean that hat of yours with a bullet hole. What
if I who are powder burns on the hat? I
seen him and have been pretty hard for Amanda, missy
if you were close enough to cause powder burns? Well
he did the shooting. Bert. You took your hat off
(17:12):
and you shot a hole in it, and you were
too stupid to back away. It was great, you say so,
I think different. You got your money, go buy yourself
a new hat, Dylan.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I'll see to her.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And I'm getting real tired of you. Get out of
here and stay away from ed Grimes or I'm gonna
break you in tow chesser. Didn't you tell me mister
buck and refused to give it a second mortgage? Why
did he change his mind?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well, that kind of posed.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I've been wondered about something else too, is sure? Why
is your bank balance down to eighteen dollars and sixty
three since miss June, you ain't got no right to
go poking around my bank balance? All right? I apologize, Es.
It is kind of a coincidence in the amount of mine, Hey,
mister Bodkin gave me in the amount that it's not
in your account anymore. Well, maybe a small coincidence, all right, Chester,
(18:09):
What happened. Well, I had a h a talk to
mister Bodkin, I a financial talk, and I under it
along what under it? I told mister Bodkin to take
my three hundred and fifty dollars and keep it till
Edgar paus A Bouncy owed, O, wait, I don't have
to worry about spending it. Well, what happens when that
(18:29):
pays the bank and the money goes back in your account? Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I got that all worked out.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
If mister Bupkin's gonna allow me to have ten dollars
a month, I I figure I can handle that much
without all them.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Tycoon worried.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I think you can if you're careful.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
M n I reckon.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I just wasn't cut out to be real rich. I
get squirming, and I don't trust people. You think Cousin
Clarence was banking on that?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
He was pretty mean.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Forget Cousin Clarence. Come on out here, and you.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Ain't mad at me for what I've done?

if I don't understand that, I have no choice. We've
been friends a long time. I come here to the
office expecting help. Now you tell me you're gonna throw
me off my line. You saw the court order as

a drink without nobody annoying. Luck Bert, it's kind of worried.

Somebody's gonna kill him. If nobody else does, it just
might be me.
Speaker 1 (05:38):

by the plan I got. You know, I've been driving
freight to for Wales's Park. There was a well everybody

Chester to rain sleep the snow. I drove them wagons
and never lost there.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You won, he wore good for you.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Go now, Chester, don't you see, now you and me
can open our own freight line.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
We can.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, we wouldn't need more.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Than one wagon to start With all the money we made,
we could buy more wagon and carry more freight.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Put it surely been millionaires. You don't have to do
anything to put up the money million Sure?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
What do you say?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Well, I'll think about it. I'll think real hard Sure, No,

Speaker 4 (09:40):
And you think hard.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Line?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Well, money bags and decided to join Yeah, so Chester,
thank you?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It ain't float on Chester, miss?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Don you know bead lead cheever is the fourth fella
in two days with a good id for investing my money.
And I hope you haven't done it well now, yeah,
I gotta have time to think it over.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Good because I have something here for you to think
over this that Chester is.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
A statement and accounted a bill balance?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Do twenty three dollars?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
What fall up, Paul? When I can't remember all of
it Chester, but just half hand I can recall the time.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You came to me with back miseries, heaves, stomach ache,
shooting pains.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And wheeze as well.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
And then there was a time you broke your toe
kicking the can that had a rocket it and the
splitter that I had to remove, and you.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Sat on the rear.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Hang on, doctor, But there wasn't official calls, and not
most of them was.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well, according to my calculations, that dual represents just about
one tenth of what you really owe me.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Well, I'm there, I'm ready for another bear.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
How about you? Man? Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I think that's fun of me too. Chest there. Now
that you have money, I think you should consider you're
a stunt of it. What I like buying around a
drink for the house, You don't mean fall in spongyars
near buddy. Well, as usual when a man has money
like you have now that could come to till five
dollars or better, you can afford that. When I wait
(11:15):
a minute, keitty, I think you're leading Chester into bad habits.
When a man has wealthy should use it wisely. He
should contribute to his community. Now, for example, you take
the US Marshals Office. Now there's an old stove there. Well,
if you know the right combination, but it smokes up
the whole place. Now that there's the marshals matters, well, yes,
now the governor take care of them thing, but they
(11:35):
don't Chester. So I thought that some wealthy, public spirited citizen.
How about the things you?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
How about my bill?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Ma Way? I sure didn't never believe my best friend
would dog a man just because all of a sudden
he's got rich.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Who's dogging you?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You are, all three of you, and I'm down right disappointed.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You know what you are? What you ain't?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Nothing but fortune hunters? Chester Chester, chut Chester. What what
(12:19):
are you doing sitting back here in the cell?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Rest in my eye?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Well, the light in the office is and all that right. Now,
come on, let's fix some coffee.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Huh, I eat thirsty?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Well, well you mind if I join your here?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It's a free jail.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Oh thank you, thank you? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Uh, you're so mad at us?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Oh eat mad? Exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's just that when a man's got business problems like
I got, and they keep waying on him, a man
don't expect his best friends to keep picking a magnetic nodge.
But still, it ain't easy to be rich.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I I don't wanna go around being show offee and
stuck up.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But like miss Kitty says, I got responsibility. Yester, Doc
and Kitty and I are interested in just two things
that you use your money wisely and that somebody doesn't
cheat you out of it.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
M you talk, I got a little bitty old baby.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
No, but uh, you must admit that you haven't had
this kind of a money problem before.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
M you live the other way around? How to get it?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Insider?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
What to do with it?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Okay? Hop us some coffee? Huh, well, I reckon, maybe
I have thirsted up some good. Come on Marshall. Hello,
Bert Marshall. I want you to arrest at Grimes. Huh
whine he tried to kill me. I was driving home
(13:53):
from town. He bush whacked me, put a bullet right
through my hat. Another inch and I wouldn't be here.
And I want m arrest it. Oh, make you secure?
It was that grind was it? Just said? No, just
seeing a man right off. But it's the only one
that want to kill me. You heard him say he
would ward all this happen, turn his crossing. All right,
I'll look look it ain't enough. I want him in
jail now. I said i'd look into it. I don't
like the way you handle your job. I got to
(14:14):
write to protect you. Why don't you go find another
Marshal somewhere Maybe you'll like him better. You can't get
away with this, Marshal, I'll tell everybody in God, fine,
you gonna tell him? I will right now. I reckon
everybody's got problem. Yeah, yeah, I guess they have. You Chester.
(14:43):
You've been standing there long enough. You're gonna sit in.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
At me if well, no, no, no, thank you. I
don't think so game too rich for your blood.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Well it ain't that.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I and the chair open.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
If you think you can afford it, well I.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Can't afford it. From what I hear.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
You're strictly a penny handy man.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
That ain't so there was nothing to be ashamed of it.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
When it comes to poker, there's boys and there's men.
You can always play with the boys. Play with the boys.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Just you don't let nobody take that chair. I'll be
right back.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I'm gonna throw him boys, huh. I'll just get me
a clutch amount of money out of that bank, and
i'll show that ten horn.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Ill looking for ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Ten dollars, yeah, ten dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
He'll be showing off.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
So he'll raise. I call, I'm three kings, so I
draw two queens, full house.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I got him. I bet twenty five dollars. He raised it.
I just look at him kindly cold.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Hello, Chester, I raised fifty dollars? What oh, eh, Ed,
I was thinking about something worry going. I don't know,
I raally, I don't know. Did you hear about Burt
Donald that story has about being bushwhacking home? I heard.
I heard he accuse me. But I couldn't shoot a
(16:06):
man from ambush, not even bird Donald? Both ed?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Have you had any luck it about borrowing the money.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I tried the bank, mister bakin wan loan money on
a second mortgage. I'm just finished one. Don't quit hoping it.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Maybe Miter duncan figure something out. Said no to do tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Oh yeah, I forgot it.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Well come on that.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'll by a beer, thanks Chester, I'd like one. Three
hundred and thirty forty fifty. Alright, virtue this mrk gout
no paid in full, and I'll get it to it.
Where'd he get the money? Robbed the bank? Never mind?
(16:50):
You got paid, and I'll sign up and get out.
I'll sun. But I ain't finished to him. It's still
a matter of him trying to kill me. Oh do
you take me for a fool? But what do you
mean that hat of yours with a bullet hole. What
if I who are powder burns on the hat? I
seen him and have been pretty hard for Amanda, missy
if you were close enough to cause powder burns? Well
he did the shooting. Bert. You took your hat off
(17:12):
and you shot a hole in it, and you were
too stupid to back away. It was great, you say so,
I think different. You got your money, go buy yourself
a new hat, Dylan.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I'll see to her.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And I'm getting real tired of you. Get out of
here and stay away from ed Grimes or I'm gonna
break you in tow chesser. Didn't you tell me mister
buck and refused to give it a second mortgage? Why
did he change his mind?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well, that kind of posed.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I've been wondered about something else too, is sure? Why
is your bank balance down to eighteen dollars and sixty
three since miss June, you ain't got no right to
go poking around my bank balance? All right? I apologize, Es.
It is kind of a coincidence in the amount of mine, Hey,
mister Bodkin gave me in the amount that it's not
in your account anymore. Well, maybe a small coincidence, all right, Chester,
(18:09):
What happened. Well, I had a h a talk to
mister Bodkin, I a financial talk, and I under it
along what under it? I told mister Bodkin to take
my three hundred and fifty dollars and keep it till
Edgar paus A Bouncy owed, O, wait, I don't have
to worry about spending it. Well, what happens when that
(18:29):
pays the bank and the money goes back in your account? Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I got that all worked out.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
If mister Bupkin's gonna allow me to have ten dollars
a month, I I figure I can handle that much
without all them.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Tycoon worried.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I think you can if you're careful.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
M n I reckon.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I just wasn't cut out to be real rich. I
get squirming, and I don't trust people. You think Cousin
Clarence was banking on that?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
He was pretty mean.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Forget Cousin Clarence. Come on out here, and you.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Ain't mad at me for what I've done?
