Speaker 1 (00:10):
Around Dodge City and in the territory on west. There
is just one way to handle the killers and the
spoilers and smoke. The story of the violence that moved
west with young Americans, and the story of a man.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Who moved with it.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first
man they looked for and the last they want to meet.
It's a chance, a job, and it makes a man
watchful and a little lonely.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Ah and seeing I'm Bonnie, don't hardly get a chance today,
(01:09):
think of.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Man, I didn't have no call to sleep. Never mind, Chester,
I'll take care of it all right, Thank you, mister Dylan.
And I'd like to see the Marshall. I'm a Marshall.
Come in.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
My name is Cassius maythew I'm sorry to disturb you
with this hour, mister Dylan, Matt Dylan. That's all right,
mister Mayhew. Once you sit on, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
My journey westward has been interrupted by the illness of
my wife.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I'm sorry to hear that, and I'm gravely worried.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I was taking her to a dry climate for her health.
That's the purpose of the trip. It seems to me,
mister Mayhew, that you need a doctor more than you
need a Marshall.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, I was hoping you'd be able to put me
in touch with one. Oh, sure I can. Doc Adam
is a very good friend of mine.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
I'll go ross him on for you right now, Martin Dillon. Yeah,
there's another purpose for my.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Visit to your office. Oh so what's that this suitcase?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I'd be obliged if you keep it for me, keep
it locked up. I mean there's something valuable on that,
I take it. Yes, there is all the family treasures
that we were able to bring on our journey. They
mean a lot to missus, meet Hugh. I feel better
if they were kept here. Well, I suppose I can
do that for you.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You will know how long you're going to be.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
In Dodge, and that depends on my wife and your doctor.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Marshall.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Oh yeah, I'll take care of the suitcase for you,
and I'll go get Doc Adams too, Like, go ahead,
doc eat out. Chester told me that he had three
(03:10):
helpings of that's too Well, that's no recommendation. Chester's got
four stomachs like a camera, and it doesn't look as
bad as all that Docs. Not as bad as usual anyway,
Maybe not, man, but I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Not very hungry.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I don't want to get back up to the Dodge
house to see missus. Mayhew.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Now, how's she getting on, good man?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Not a bit bad.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Still can't travel in her.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
He knew me be a long time before she's able
to head west. Uh. How's the old man taking it?
He's taken it hard man. Oh, he's the soul of
devotion and taking care of his wife. Nobody could kinder
and more patient. But it's clear to me that he's
(04:04):
mighty anxious to move on.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
He trying to hurry you. Doc, So you will say
that she can travel?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Oh no, no, no, no, he's too fond of her
to do anything like that. I can just kind of
sense it, though. After all, you can't blame him.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It's uh.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, I would expect to find the Marshal in his
office in the middle of the day. Marshall has a
right to eat his dinner.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
That's all right. Talk who you?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
My name is Henry Brails, and I'd like a word
with you in private.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I'll be going along there. Take your time, Doc, take
your time.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
No, I'm late now unless you need me.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
No, doc. You go ahead, I'll see you later.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, all right, okay, mister Braile's what do you want?
An office is the proper place to transact business. If
you don't have anything to say to me, you're wasting
both our time. All right, Marshall, but we'll have to
go to your office anyway. Oh what for right to
(05:12):
open the suitcase? Of course?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Are we going to open the suitcase? Right?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Certainly the suitcase left with you by Cassius Mayhew the
other night. Oh but go on, mister Brailes. You seem
to have this all worked out. It's perfectly simple, Marshall.
Cassius Mayhew is my brother in law. He left the
family home very suddenly to take this trip.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I followed him.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I want to be sure that he's not making off
with some of the things that belonged to me.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Missus Mayhew is your sister.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
She is? Did you know that she's a very sick woman?
So I understand you haven't.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Been a seer. No, Marshall.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
When I accosted Mayhew and he told me you had
the suitcase, I felt it was important to see you
at once. Now, if you'll come with me, we can
open it.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Just a minute. Braills, I can save you the walk.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
What do you mean, I'm not gonna open that suitcase
unless Mayhew himself tells me to do it. But I
tell you I have a right to see what's in there.
I'm a member of the family, not acting much like one. Well,
I certainly a sound to me like you're more interested
in the suitcase than your sister Marshall. It is your duty.
It's my duty to protect property around here, including anything
left in my care. Now you better go on, mister Brail's.
(06:28):
I want to finish my dinner, but the law.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You'll let me worry about the law.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Jack, you got time, I'll have another cup of coffee,
Sure my sure.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Coming right up.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Sleep twitting nightmare.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I enjoyed the walk, so did I, kiddie.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
You know it's the first time I can remember that
I've walked one headed in the half suit. You suppose
your horse got on all right without you?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I sure hope.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
So that's I wouldn't want to make a habit of
covering much ground without anymore. You're coming in for a drink, man, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
No, thanks, kitty. I think I'm going back to the office.
I thought you said the jail with him too. It
is of people. Yeah, chesse, excuse me.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
It was kitty Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:40):

Speaker 3 (07:41):

the dodge house, trying to get in seem his maid.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Uh, I better come with you kiddies, nightmare and thank
your horse for me. What do you remember that? Never mind? Chester,
tell me what happened.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Well, it's Don's there at the desk, you know, talk
to Mitch Adobe about trying to buy one.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Of his hotel colors off his mind, getting aweso all

Well, this teller Braills come in and he tells mister
Dobe he wants to know what room is ms Mayhew

and on he's knowing may He was terrible sick.
Speaker 2 (08:21):

Speaker 3 (08:27):
He kept right on, mister Dobie and that person who

I demanded to see my sister.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
You should checked up funny time for it.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
He has no right to keep her locked up in
a strange town, not letting her be seen by a
member of her own family. I am protecting her health, Marshal.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I don't intend to.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Allow her to be distressed by anyone. You mean you
don't want to ask any questions about what's in that suitcase?
That's what you mean.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Get down those stairs, Braills. I wouldn't want to have
to push you.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
This is outrageous treatment, Marshals. I don't get a lot
more outrageous if you don't know what I say and
I go on, get out of here. I'll go for now.
But no country Marshal is going to deprive me of
my rights.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I'll be back.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
You can count on that.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I'll be here.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Thanks for your assistance, Marshall. Villan, you've spared my wife
an ugly scene.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And I think I Keith at Darringer in my pocket
if I were you.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
And I'm not a shooting man, Marshall, I've never even
owned a pistol before, doctor missus you thought I might
need protection on the.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Journey, and sometimes a man needs protection from his own gun.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Mister Parris Marshall's I understand it will not happen again.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
I'm talking. I don't know where you got your information,
doctor stopping.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
I uh, I've been meanted to talk to you about
miss Mayhew, though I'm glad you came by. Well, I
can only tell you that she's she's a very sick woman,
too sick to talk to me, too sick.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
To talk to anyone. What in the worry would you
have to say to her?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Doct This whole business is a little hard to understand.
One half of a family against the other half. Braill's
accused of Mayhew and Mayhew keep an him up at gunpoint.
I thought maybe miss Mayhew could give me a couple
of answers to a couple of questions so that I
could get Brails out of here for good. Maybe she
couldn't have, but I couldn't be responsible for what it might.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Do to her that scene.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I was had her door last I almost finished her off.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
All right, Doc, never mind, thank you mane.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Talk to May almost gone, Pott. We're gone long enough
to write some of it. Chester, Well, I was noticing things. Man.
Can't hurry yourself when he's noticing.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
No, of course not.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And what did you find to notice this morning?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
And there's lots of things going on on paper?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
A pa about sixty. Yeah, how about him out and
(12:40):
do the coup of water? And that's extreme poor. Sometimes
it doesn't care to be a factulate.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And I than that Broils problem. I would say done.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Kay the fact that it will be the.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
First one to see that we find out marscall Dylan,
(13:22):
Marcell Dillon.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
You can go get the suitcase now we've come.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
To open it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
This is Sheriff Dia from Saint Louis Hella shaff Marshall.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
You're a long way from home shore.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
This suitcase is right inside, right inside the Marshall's office
to Brails.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Now handle list. That's what I've come to do. Well
handle it.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Then you've come all the way from Saint Louis Abrapa's suitcase. Yes, Marshall, Dylan,
I have my office received telegram.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, I bet you did.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I don't deny sending it. Maybe I should explain a
little further. Both mister Brail's and mister may Who are
from all Saint Louis families. I've known them personally for
years and you'll probably know that missus may He was
a very sick woman.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And indeed I do uh here my credentials. Uh, you
don't mind.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Let's you and me have looked at that suitcase. You
know that may Who doesn't want Brailes to open it,
and mister Braile's won't be opening at Marshall, we will
all right, come on inside, it.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Has suitcases and back. You'll stay here, Brails.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But I think it would be best if you followed
Marshall Dillon's advice.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Mister Braile's, come on, sherk suitcases in here.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I've got a couple of keys and you think will fit?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Uh? Uh, that's one fits it'll open.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I don't see any of the family valuables of Braile's
was talking about, but that looks like an awful lot
of money to me.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
It should be just about twenty thousand dollars. You're telling
me this isn't Mayhew's money.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
He worked in the same bank in Saint Louis for
many years. Marshall, he left in kind.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Of a hurry.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, he told me his wife was sick and this
money disappeared on the same day. I see, I'm sorry,
I'm really sorry.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Eh, mister Mayhew was a highly respected man. It's hard
to blame a man for trying to save his wife,
isn't it. And it's for a fact.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Well, Marshall, shall we go across the street. I've got
a right to know it.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
There's nothing here that concerns you.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Mister Braile's that money Cassio stole. I knew there was
something wrong.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
I was right.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I bet you feel fine about this, mister Brailes. I
think they better go, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I'll go with you.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
As Marshall Dylan said, this does not concern you. I
have a right to confront him as you wanted to
confront your dying sister. You stay away from me, Brails.
From now on.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
The room at the top of the stairs.
Speaker 3 (16:40):

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Oh, I want to see may you. Doc. I don't
want to bother his wife. You can't, she's dead. I'm
sorry to ask.

mister you that I'm here, mat Ah.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
