a better alibi. But look, myles, I'll question him first
thing in the morning, and i'll do my own question
in Marshall behind a six gun. Now you know better
than that mine. Roy Taylor was a good friend of mine, Marshall.
Nobody's gonna shoot him down like that and get by

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, what do you think Tom?

One hundred dollars, thank you, one hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Something wrong, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
You went broke last night, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Oh yeah, I see I heard about Roy Tavo.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He was robbed a little over a hundred dollars time.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You know where I was, Marshall.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Well, well now you probably won't believe me, so you
go out and ask my Lenda Miles.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
She'll tell you. All right, Tom, but where did you
get this money?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I sold two of my horses this morning for a
hundred and ten dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I hold, did you sell him too?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
George ran?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But he left town with him an hour ago, and.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
He lived seventy five miles north of here.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
I sold him over to Steve or Marshall. Mars Grimmick was.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
There, and you wouldn't mind walking over there with me huh,
why should it?
Speaker 8 (11:50):
Oh, mister Jonas, don't say anything about this to anybody,
will you? I wanted to be a surprised of course,
not Tom. Thanks, let's go, Marshall, I was killed.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Have any luck, I'm afraid not. Chester. I haven't turned
up anything.
Speaker 10 (12:29):
And you're eliminating Tom altogether.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
And I had to which Grimmick was there when he
sold those horses that George Ryan. Tom's in the clear.
Speaker 10 (12:39):
Well, I'm kind of glad to hear.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
He's a good boy, you know, old man, my shortcand
churn up storm coming in here at noon?
Speaker 10 (12:49):
Did they expecting you to have the killer already locked up?
You think he meant it when he said he'd kill
Tom if he ever come court in Melinda again.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Freddy said, Chester, did you tell Tom about it? Sure?
I did? For all good, he'll do it.
Speaker 10 (13:03):
Oh my, hen, what is it to speak of the devil?
Speaker 9 (13:08):
Look down he's with Melinda that they're coming in here.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Hello, Chip, Oh, Melndy Marshall, we've been looking for you.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh, it's the trouble, Melinda, Papa, that's what's the trouble.
What's he done?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
He came home and said he'd shoot Tom on site?
If he came around the place again.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
What are you doing in Tom?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
She come to find me, Marshall. She's got an idea
and it's a good one too.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I thought it all out, Marshall. And there's only one
way to settle this business. How's that Tom's innocent? Paul
told me you're convince. Stop it yourself.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I don't think any court would convict him.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Then you've got to arrest him and have him tried.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
What It's the only way, Marshall.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
He'll be found not guilty and it'll put Paul to
shame and you'll have to leave with slone.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
You've gotta do it, Marshall. Right now you.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Agree with all this, Tom? Sure I do. Melinda's right.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
It's the only thing that will work.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
You'll do it, Marshall, won't you.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
No, No, I can't do it. But Marshall, sorry, Melinda,
but the law can't be used that way.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Then you won't help them.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I didn't say that. I've been doing some thinking. Maybe
I'll come up with something. But meantime you get back home,
and time you stay away from there. I don't want
any more killings.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Come on, Melinda, I'll take you back to your horse.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
You give up off a lazy, don't you.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I didn't say i'd given up.
Speaker 2 (14:28):

I want.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
When I decided that, I'll show you, not tell you.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Now, stop it, both of you, Paul.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
If you're gonna act like this every time Tom comes
out here, I'll meet him someplace else.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
There's no need to fly off the handle.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
But I got to wonder about a man who spends
all this time courting.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Look, mister Miles, I know what you think of me,
but I'm gonna have my own ranch soon, and that's
a whole lot better than taking wages from somebody else.
If you ask me your own ranch, why sure, mister Miles,
you're forgetting me owns two three headed horses.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I got six head tailor, and they're as good as
any around.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well, they may be the best horses in.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
The whole world, but that don't hardly make no rank.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
He's got to start somewhere, hasn't He sure does, But
I wish he was in Texas doing Come on, Taylor, got.
Speaker 2 (03:52):

Speaker 5 (03:59):

for you to start trouble.
Speaker 3 (04:04):

Taylor glub came into that game?
Speaker 10 (04:52):
Taylor has been having a big run of luck.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Run a luck can always stop for the next time.
Speaker 10 (04:56):

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Stop getting old Tom about losing his shirt.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
That's a nice boy, he just needs the little more

And Blinda Miles seemed willing to wait for him.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Oh yeah, I heard he's been caughting.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
You mean you're gonna take two lots of the ranch

Speaker 2 (07:51):
I think Harry Miles would appreciate it. Doc, He and
Taylor were pretty good friends.
Speaker 11 (07:56):
Oh, they ain't gonna take this easy. Now I'll go
get away.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
By haven't Marshall. I won't stand with this. I'll find
the killer sooner or later. Mile. I want him. Now

something would have been done tonight.

Speaker 9 (08:54):
Well, Tom lost every dollar he had on him tonight
playing poker with Roy Taylor.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Oh, and then waited for him in the alley and
murdered him to get it back.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Now, Miles, nobody knows that I know it. That's enough.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Chester.
Speaker 10 (09:09):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Were you in the.
Speaker 10 (09:11):
Game, Well, no, but I kindly watched it.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
What time did Tom leave the Long Branch?
Speaker 10 (09:20):
About midnight? IY think he said he was going to bed.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
And what time was Roy Taylor killed Marshall?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
About one thirty? What are you driving that, Melinda?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
It's an hour's ride from here to Dodge, isn't it.
That's right at one o'clock, Tom Potter.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
And I were standing right out there by the big
oak talking.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Now I'll look here at Milinda.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
It's true, Paul, and I'll swear to it in court.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Marshall. I'll be riding to Dodge about noon tomorrow. Don't
you believe your own daughter. We'll see Tom couldn't have
a better alibi. But look, myles, I'll question him first
thing in the morning, and i'll do my own question
in Marshall behind a six gun. Now you know better
than that mine. Roy Taylor was a good friend of mine, Marshall.
Nobody's gonna shoot him down like that and get by
with it. I'll find the man who does it well good.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
I'll be at your office at noon. I want to
see him.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, what do you think Tom?
Speaker 11 (10:34):
Mm?
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Hmm.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
That's a mighty pretty ring.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Mister Joneson just got it in that morning a week ago.
Speaker 10 (10:41):
One hundred dollars you see at his loads.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I can go, Tom, all right, I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Oh, be right with you, Marshall.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Wow, Oh, Marshall a Tom want me to put the
ring in the box?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Tom, No, I'll.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Take it as you his money right?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
One hundred dollars, thank you, one hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Something wrong, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
You went broke last night, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Oh yeah, I see I heard about Roy Tavo.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He was robbed a little over a hundred dollars time.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You know where I was, Marshall.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Well, well now you probably won't believe me, so you
go out and ask my Lenda Miles.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
She'll tell you. All right, Tom, but where did you
get this money?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I sold two of my horses this morning for a
hundred and ten dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I hold, did you sell him too?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
George ran?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But he left town with him an hour ago, and.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
He lived seventy five miles north of here.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
I sold him over to Steve or Marshall. Mars Grimmick was.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
There, and you wouldn't mind walking over there with me huh,
why should it?
Speaker 8 (11:50):
Oh, mister Jonas, don't say anything about this to anybody,
will you? I wanted to be a surprised of course,
not Tom. Thanks, let's go, Marshall, I was killed.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Have any luck, I'm afraid not. Chester. I haven't turned
up anything.
Speaker 10 (12:29):
And you're eliminating Tom altogether.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
And I had to which Grimmick was there when he
sold those horses that George Ryan. Tom's in the clear.
Speaker 10 (12:39):
Well, I'm kind of glad to hear.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
He's a good boy, you know, old man, my shortcand
churn up storm coming in here at noon?
Speaker 10 (12:49):
Did they expecting you to have the killer already locked up?
You think he meant it when he said he'd kill
Tom if he ever come court in Melinda again.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Freddy said, Chester, did you tell Tom about it? Sure?
I did? For all good, he'll do it.
Speaker 10 (13:03):
Oh my, hen, what is it to speak of the devil?
Speaker 9 (13:08):
Look down he's with Melinda that they're coming in here.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Hello, Chip, Oh, Melndy Marshall, we've been looking for you.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh, it's the trouble, Melinda, Papa, that's what's the trouble.
What's he done?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
He came home and said he'd shoot Tom on site?
If he came around the place again.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
What are you doing in Tom?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
She come to find me, Marshall. She's got an idea
and it's a good one too.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I thought it all out, Marshall. And there's only one
way to settle this business. How's that Tom's innocent? Paul
told me you're convince. Stop it yourself.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I don't think any court would convict him.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Then you've got to arrest him and have him tried.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
What It's the only way, Marshall.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
He'll be found not guilty and it'll put Paul to
shame and you'll have to leave with slone.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
You've gotta do it, Marshall. Right now you.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Agree with all this, Tom? Sure I do. Melinda's right.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
It's the only thing that will work.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
You'll do it, Marshall, won't you.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
No, No, I can't do it. But Marshall, sorry, Melinda,
but the law can't be used that way.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Then you won't help them.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I didn't say that. I've been doing some thinking. Maybe
I'll come up with something. But meantime you get back home,
and time you stay away from there. I don't want
any more killings.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Come on, Melinda, I'll take you back to your horse.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
You give up off a lazy, don't you.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I didn't say i'd given up.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Come on on, Chester, Sure, I'm riding out of town
for a couple of days. What keep an eye on
things here, will you? Yes, sir?
Speaker 10 (14:42):
But by jing this?
Speaker 9 (14:44):

I can say I need the exercise.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Chester is the Marshal here?
Speaker 10 (15:14):
No blendy he ain't.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
We gotta find the Marshall.
Speaker 6 (15:17):

Speaker 9 (15:17):
What's the matter with you two? What are you riding
up Front street together?
Speaker 2 (15:21):

Speaker 3 (15:21):
We decided to run away. I met Tom this afternoon
near home.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
But her paw saw us, and he's right on our trail.
Speaker 3 (15:27):

Speaker 9 (15:29):
You're a darn pool, Tom, mister gunn pull you to
keep away from her.
Speaker 4 (15:33):

Speaker 5 (15:34):
Now you've gotta do something Chester, All right, get on
inside the office, both of you.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I'll lock you up and stand guard.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
He'll have to go through me first.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Oh, thank you? Come on Tom?
Speaker 9 (15:47):
Now Wait, I don't rightly admire being a shot like
a rap in a trap.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
Well, I don't see you're standing out I'm opening facing him.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
That's unfair.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
Well, I didn't say it was easy impart.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Now it's too late.
Speaker 2 (16:01):

Yeah, now wait a minute before.
Speaker 10 (16:08):

No, ain't. I ain't even gonna let you do that.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
You can't very well stop me Chester, mister Dylon, what's
going on here? Nothing? You're gonna stop Marshall.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
He's not gonna kill anybody. Come here, Tom, I got
ride up to George Runs. What he told me to
give you this? Why you wanted to be sure you
got your money? No, it isn't mine.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
He don't know me.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Think yes, it does one hundred and ten dollars. He
said he'd pay you in a couple of weeks. He
remember here it is he paid me. Bless you? What
is all this? Marshall? I remember Musk Grimmich. He didn't
actually see any money change in hands that day. Oh
he Melinda, You got word into Tom about the alibi
(17:08):
you'd set up for him, didn't you? Well, didn't you, Yes,
the cook's helper.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
I woke him up and made him write into town
with a note before.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Dawn, Melnda Miles. I expected was Tom who shut Roy Taylor?
After all? I knew it. I knew it all along.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
You know too much.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
You won't.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
You can't come and get me right.
