Speaker 3 (06:50):

position in this matter is one of importance.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
There's only one thing of importance, Curtis, and it's this
see money, four thousand of them and more tonight when
I sellow jellies.

Speaker 4 (07:04):

Speaker 7 (07:17):
I want the Dicassidy to enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
You enjoy himself like a tender knock he California, don't
all I can, Cassidy. I've been thinking about Curtis, about
this young Parker.

Speaker 10 (07:29):
Well, of course you remember twenty years ago and little misfortune.
His wife left for the boy, and old man Parker
raised the girl she married last month in Denver a city.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
Dude. Yeah, about the sun. Where has he been?

Speaker 10 (07:44):
He says he'd been in South America, has come back
the day before the father died, he.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Shoot her steed in South America. The upstart doesn't seem
to have much affection for the ranch.

Speaker 10 (07:53):
Yep, we even suspicion that maybe he wasn't really the
Parker boy, but his sister and I asked him things
that happened when he.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Was just a little fella, and nobody, not one other
soul for the answer.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
The questions we asked him, and he answered them right
down to.

Speaker 10 (08:07):
The time his mother dropped her wagon tongue on her
foot and went around with a cast for a year.
Then he remembers the big wind that blew the roof
off the shed and killed his little pony even told
us the name of the pony, Zippo was its name.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Der If I ever had a son like him, i'd
horse whipped some hands in your skull. Eh, it's how
things are. I'm only telling you because I know you're
an old friend of Parker's senior.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
That's right, and I don't envy you your job handling
the affairs as they now stand. I'll go take another
look at Herford Giant.

his dead that's right, and paid in cash.

Speaker 11 (09:49):
What's wrong with Dad? Quite nothing. I was just wondering
if you'd like to buy some of those smaller cows.
We have a lot of money. I'd tell them very cheap.
I mean those yearlings.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
I don't know how old they are, but if you
could buy a couple of hundred of them, I'd take
almost half price. So wait, it's right down gown right
the world close to stealing? Oh no, no, it's not Ruth.
My wife owns somebody stock and we want to go
back to Denver.

Speaker 5 (10:19):

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Half alone? Cassidy, But this god, I'd have killed anyone
who tried to take him, and I can believe you
would do yes, even.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
Knew, mister Cassidy. Why didn't you go back where you
came from and me buck alone?

Speaker 8 (20:34):
This Bruce, I'd like to do just that.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
This as a killer around here.

Speaker 7 (20:37):
There ain't no more. You've got nothing but trouble. Even
the pool knows something wrong. All this fuss over an animal.
Suppose he's hard enough to tell us who done the killing?

Speaker 4 (20:47):
Sell That is the first really intelligent remark you've made.

Speaker 7 (20:57):
Well, if you've got something to say, happy, say you
quick for me and hands her heading for the jail.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
I didn't kill him, you didn't like him?

Speaker 7 (21:04):
Who neither did I? Does that make me a killer head?

Speaker 6 (21:07):
Please?

Speaker 4 (21:07):
If you'll let me stay, just one word before you go,
Sheriff and the rest of you folks, let me have
a floor a few seconds. Let's have no more of this.

Speaker 8 (21:14):
None care if has to leave.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
And I know before you go, Sheriff, here's a lady
you'll all want to meet. Missus Kirk runs a rooming house.

Speaker 8 (21:23):
This is Bark, This is burt Y. Would you step
into the.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Patio here and tell me if you see the man
who came to your rooming house and offered great for
a job impersonating young Parker.

Speaker 6 (21:33):
I already see him, Satman, that's cruse for.

Speaker 8 (21:37):
Don't you got to get set up to a doctor?

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Sheriff, My bullet Creasy's hands pretty bad why outwards him?
Or you hoppy? And I'm mighty glad. I warn't you
the right California. I didn't know you did.

Speaker 7 (21:58):
Nothing is to have us. So what evidence you got
to get Curtis's happy.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
Yes, Sheriff.

Speaker 7 (22:03):
Why it looks like tonight?

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Where did it come from?

Speaker 7 (22:06):
I searched every inch of the ranch. Who told you
where to find it?

Speaker 4 (22:09):
The pool?

Speaker 8 (22:09):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (22:10):
Now wait a minute, that's right. When I first looked
at the bull, he stood there quiet as a kitten.
And Curtis came in, went in from anger to see
if there was enough hand and the bull immediately became excited.

Speaker 7 (22:20):
All right, So the bull's temperamental.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
He just didn't like the smell of human blood and
the knife Curtis hid in the head.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Oh, un Ashamed of what I've said about your code
in trouble, I understand.

that too. See that handkerchief Curtis had wrapped around his hand.
I suppose he has it hidden in their Look at
what's on the handkerchief.

Speaker 7 (22:45):

more like chili sauces us dried.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
On the handkerchief.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
Oh begin, I'm the catchy Reach down in the left
clock in the rocks five California and see what you're
find right, who never killed Draper? Had to get the
money fast. I hand this place with a big pocket
the barbecue.

Speaker 7 (23:03):

Speaker 4 (23:05):
There's lots of sense to it. Furtis played grayfer to
impersonate young Parker. Together. They sell out the ranch and
divide the money. But Drayford got greedy and Curtis had
to get rid of him.
