Who cares? Elkin did it? School stops pitching? See only
he stops and throws the ball to elk and hide
and Sleepy come slide, not cut it.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I don't care not about Elkin and Sleepy.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
No pitcher. Ever since you was a kid, all I
ever heard out of you was baseball. It wasn't baseball
was fishing by the time you growed up. All right, Tom,
all right, how fast she thinks you'll go? Oh? A hundred? Maybe?
Only don't you try it now? I drove one once.
It was marked on the speed on it for one
hundred and ten, but she couldn't make more ninety.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Don't you drive that car if you had no Naty?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You want some cop to stop you for speeding? Ain't
no one stopped me yet? You get picked up, lad,
And I don't know you. You remember that I ain't
telling you how to drive this car. Well, I'm telling
you don't you take that car with fifty You getting
too smart for your own good. Lately. Think everything's a
game like those baseball players yours. No, kid, Tom, I
(03:47):
won't speed. You know, I wished I had a gun
like you got it. You'd get a gun, you'd be
dumb enough to use it. What do you think you
need one for? I don't know. I just wish I
had one. Yeah, he'll stop at the grocery store, always does.
I still wish I had a gun. You getting scared.
I can take care of myself. When you get down there.
(04:09):
You call your cousin Melvin, see if he wants to
drive one of the cars across Mexican. Can't drive both
of 'em. Yes, you, he's throwing down. You know what
to do now. Sure, I got to jump a wife
already connected, just like you've seen me do the other
times on the coil. I'd open that hood quiet, like
I know how to do it. You better sort of
worried you going alone for the first time. I'm telling
(04:32):
y' I'll be all right. When I see your tongues.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I's wipe out of the car.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Probably day after tomorrow. I'll call here and say where
you're to meet me. I'll drop you off just past
the store, and when he gets inside okay, lady, okay, so.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Off, what are you doing to my tom?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Kill it? What do you think you're doing? Call me
time you're the chair.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I kill you?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Drop that night off to you? Kill you.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Captain Lavis of the Highway Patrol was some in the media,
and he in turn requested the help of.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The Texas Ranger.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Ranger Jace Pearson was assigned and at ten thirty pm
met the Captain in the hospital where the victim was
being given emergency treatment.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
How lev read you made it a vest? He's in there?
How he is? He pretty bad?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Boy's trowing me his arms and chester o cut up.
But he could be a lot worse. Expect to be
scarred up some. I'd see him here if the Dyke
same captain, maybe this Highway Patrol, this this range of Pearson.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Uh, this will just take him into mister Dyke's. Did
you get a good look at this fella night you? No,
not much light? First saw him. He was looking under
the hood and happened pretty fast. Well, how about his size?
Was he a big man? Not rightly man at all?
This kid maybe sixteen seven? And m kid, huh can
(06:34):
you describe him at all? Oh? I like I said
it was dark. I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know him
if I saw him set. He had glasses and they
got knocked off.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I got him here, Jase picked him up on the street.
Ordinary steel rim cut and let's see. Hum the lens
is pretty thick. He must have bad eyes.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
One lens broken. Yeah, how these darktor camms? The Dykes,
you leave the motor running when you got out. Oh,
I know better than that, ranger. I turned it off
and took the key stone my cause, I guess.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
M the kid must have used the car jumper under
the hood to short the ignition wires.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's where we figured.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Joh, well, thanks, mister Dykes. We'll get a complete statement later.
You better get some rest. Now, come on, LEVI so you.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Get easy, mister Dyke.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Okay, lucky then I didn't get into his face.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Yeah, you sat on the phone. There's been a string
of these car fats.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Yeah, it's the fifth five expensive cars. Store 'em in
the last six seven weeks. Always done the same way.
But nobody could hurt before this.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Will somebody always does sooner or later you recover any
of 'em. That one.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
I got a vague description of one of the thieves
a couple of weeks back. Young punk worm glasses might
be the same. Kid doesn't sound like a kid taking
a car for a joy ride.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
They usually abandon it by morning.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
And no, it looks like somebody's building up a real
sweet racket room, so.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
He's able to get rid of him so fast that
you can't find 'em. Kid's probably not playing a lone hand.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, that's the way I figured.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
After I talked to the shirt and I had a
contact at Austin, it was headquarters idea.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
We worked together. Let's get back to your office and
call Austin. That pair of glasses looks like our lead.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
A Captain Davis outhefite put in a call to the
Bureau of Identification and Records in Austin.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I asked them for all pictures of teenage.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Boys wearing glasses who might be possible subjects for investigation
in this case. The pictures came down in the morning
plane Captain Navis and I started calling on optomic Frits
and Corpose Christie, as there were none in hiding. It
was almost noon when we found an optomatrist who recognized
one of the pictures from his records. He definitely identified
the glasses as the Perry had made.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
The prescription of the.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Unbroken lens was identical. Subject's name was Larry Vale, age seventeen.
He'd been picked up in September of the previous year
for investigation of car theft and was.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Released for lack of evidence. Larry Vale lived eighteen miles
outside Corpose, Christie in a rural area. We headed out
there with a search.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Warm.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Doesn't look like much of the place. Just check. Think
maybe he's in there hiding. It's possible. What do you
wanna do? Take a look around the back. They got
chickens back there. Maybe somebody around had left these parts
out the last minute. There wanna be something here. Kids
(09:22):
don't usually live alone. You'd imagine we'd find this. Fooks
are right book, Jase. Oh, let's feed on the ground.
Chickens haven't had time to eat it though, and I
been fed morning a few minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Who is that out back?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
M There is somebody in the house. Come on, you
been in here all the time, mister, oh arranger. No,
I just come in and been feeding the chickens. The
DearS knocking on the front door. No, I didn't hear nothing.
Come on in. I'm Tom Vale and mind your pearson.
(09:55):
That's got me the highway to so Cattie. Yeah, you
wanna see, can't about something? Larry Vale live here? Why
he ask him about Larry? I just want to talk
to him. What about? Just tell little ranger where he is? Mister?
Well he ain't here? Was he here last night? Well? No,
he went fishing, does every once in a while, stays
away a few days at a time. No excuse me,
(10:16):
I better turn down a fire on those teams. You
any kenda? Lorry? Yeah, I'm Larry's brother. Why he in trouble? Maybe?
Why does he go fishing? Oh around? He was gone
when I come home yesterday, Because now I did work
in find him? Maybe a rock bord porder Ramsis likes
to fish off the jetties. Might even be on a
(10:37):
shrimp boat. Does it once in a while, pick up
a couple of bucks? How about? Can be no thanks
either about your brother? Doesn't he have a study job, Larry? No,
he used to work in the packing plant ice and vegetables.
Didn't like it though, bad to go fishing. Think spending
money selling his catch. They'll like to know what you
(10:57):
want him for. We think your brother stole a last
night knife? The man pretty bad? Where Porter ends is hiding?
Or it must be some mistake. Larry wouldn't do nothing
like that. Besides, to know he went fishing. We want
to have a talk with him about it? Then, okay,
But I know you got the wrong guy.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Larry's a good kid. He wouldn't cut anybody.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
He was investigated for cars that last year, wasn't he?
Oh yeah, they said he took a car. He was
just a bunch of kids, you know how it is.
But they couldn't hold him because he wasn't guilty. He
can't hold that against him. Mind, if we take a
look through the house, Oh why should I? Thanks? Where's
your brother's room? That one right there? Okay to go in?
(11:37):
If yourself I still see him, make him big mistake.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
I'd say he likes baseball from all those pictures on
the walls.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, he's nuts about it, that's all. He talks about
that and fishing. Wants some confidence for me? No thanks, Well,
if you don't mind, I got to get that pot
off or still was over?
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Sure, go ahead and I'll be right back. What do
you think you sh well? We know Larry didn't go fishing.
I'll look through these drawers. How about checking that closet, Levi?
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Okay, up a loaded chunk in here, James, everything just like.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
My boy, LEVI, where's Howard Memorial Ballpark? Run around here? Boy? Friendship? Maybe?
Or baseball tickets? Let's go there often. Let's spread the
numbers on 'em. I'd say they were bought over quite
a period of time. They could mean something. Could we
gonna jump down these ticket numbers?
Speaker 6 (12:35):
She's sure crazy about peaceful as the brother's coming back here.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I'm finished well finding knives, running half shifts or anything. No,
we didn't find anything like that. Well, look all you like.
I think we've seen enough. M Well, come back anytime.
You always welcome. Thanks. We may take you up on that.
(13:00):
We went back to the Highway Patrol office and put
out an APB on Larry Vale.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
We learned that Howard Memorial Ballpark was located in Mead, Texas,
one hundred and fifty miles away. I followed the hunch
and called the manager of the ballpark to check on
the dates of the ticket stubs found in Larry Vale's room.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Come here, Leviy, I want you to see this. Your hunch. Fales, Huh,
I think we've got something. A car stolen here. May ninth,
the kid sees a ballgame in Mead. May tenth, car
stolen May twenty third, kids in me the twenty four
same routine June sixth and seventh, and again last.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Week, and Mead's right on the border. Do you think
those cars are being run over into Mexico?
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Wouldn't be surprised if the pattern holds up. Larry Vales
do to see that game tonight and saw my.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
In just a moment.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
We will continue with tales of the Texas Rangers, starring
Joel McCrae as Ranger Jays Pearson.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Medical science now knows that there are about twenty one
well recognized types of heart disease. One of the leading
heart authorities, doctor Paul D. White, declares that the classifying
of heart disease into various types is one of the
greatest medical advances of our time. This is only one
of the great advances such as new surgical techniques, new drugs,
(14:31):
new methods of care, prevention and treatment, which have brought
new hope to millions of hearts. New hope for hearts
is the slogan of the Heart Fund of the American
Heart Association and its affiliates. Your contribution will help our
doctors to continue their fight against heart disease, this nation's
(14:53):
leading cause of death. Do your share, because it is
your fight. Send your contribution today to HEARTTA RT Heart
in care of your post office. Allow back to Tales
of the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
We continue now with Tales of the Texas Rangers and
our authentic story.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Bright Boy, our radio ranger, claimed Morgan, and asked him
to meet me in Mead. I figured I could get
there before the game started and we'd be able to
stop Larry.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Vale entering or leaving the ballpark. I was thirty miles
from Mean when it started the rain.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
By the time I pulled him to town and was
coming down, hard Player was waiting for me at the
hotel coffee shop.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Might as well sit down and have a cup of coffee. Jason,
Why what's up? Play? And I hate the game's been
called and I was afraid of that? Did I have
a cup of coffee? Miss any other ideas where we
can find him?
Speaker 7 (15:49):
And he's better than sixty thousand people in this town
might run into quite a job picking him out.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Got a mug shot of him, Yeah, a couple. Here's
his picture wearing glasses taken last year just.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
To punk is and uh huh.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Here he is again without respects and he sure must
need him the way squinch probably having a rough time
now that he's.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
Lost him, unless he had another pair of maids, and
I don't think he's had time for that yet. Many
optometrists in towns playing well four or five.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
He could be having a maid here. Think we better
start making the rounds in the morning. Uh yeah, I
buy a chase record. We might've been wrong. They'll got
a chance. There's another optometrist uff I had and if
he's not getting his glasses in this down, we'll have
(16:37):
a time find him. And nobody had probably in the
back hit the call bell, Yeah, just the man head.
What rangers he was?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Every time I go in back, somebody comes in.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
I'm sorry if we well, that's all right, and he
used to it. Want to move the lens grinders up front?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
What can I do? Good gentlemen? I ranger Pierson, This
ranger Morgan. No, I'm Doc Heath. We're looking for a
kid about seventeen. Figure he might have come here for glasses.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
He's pictures about a year old second to put my
glasses on, and funny you're looking for in trouble he
wanted for question him, sir, he was in yesterday morning.
You posted to absolutely ranger it's the same one and
the fact that's his glasses I'm working on.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Now, what are the same kind of frames like in
this picture?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
You know where he's staying?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Got his dress right to hear in the order.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
One hundred and twenty eighth jacket street named Sam Jones.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Okay, thanks, I'll be back of three to pick his
glasses up. Doing a rush job for him, says his
eyes were killing him.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Been a lot of help, Doc much obliged. We had
to be a service rangers anytime.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
If we don't find him, buy three, we'll be back.
Ranger Morgan and I went to the address giving us
for the optometris. Larry Vale alias Sam Jones wasn't there.
It was an empty field.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Good for a minute that Jack was it and he
just pulled out a dress out of his hat. Happened
to be this field. Yeah, I would have to pick
him up the optometriss go on getting Jason. Maybe we
shouldn't pick him up, Clay, what do you mean? I
got an idea. Suppose you tail him and let him
know he's being followed. What you plan? We're gonna try
and get friendly with him. Look it up this way.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
Larry Vale just a kid, seventeen years old. He steals cars,
four of them, we're pretty sure of. He brings him
to the Mexican border each time.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
He can't be in this alone. We've gotta find out
who's with him. If you can get into the kid's confidence,
he's gonna try any better. Watch him jas he knows
how to handle a knight. Yeah, a man in the
hospital told me. We drove the local highway patrol office.
(18:52):
They arranged for me to borrow a cheap suit that
looked like somebody had slept in for a week. I
put it on and we.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Drove back to the optometris's office. We got there a
few minutes after two.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Clay parked the car on the site while I went
in to see the optometrists. Hello doc, Hi, Oh he
didn't recognizing them. Cloth boy been here yet for his glasses?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
No, No, he has him to expect him pretty soon.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Now we'd be outside watching. Don't let him know we've
been here.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Oh, try, and I'm sure try ranging what's the matter?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Doc? Oh I just little edgy, I guess, and just
keep calm. We'll do the rest.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
After Clay parked the car, he walked down to the
bus stop at the corner and stood against.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
The wall reading the newspaper.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
I picked a little hash house directly across the street
from the aptometrist and sat by the window.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
We waited.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
By three o'clock, I was on my third cup of coffee.
Larry Veil showed up ten minutes later and went into
the optometrists shop. Fifteen minutes after that, he came out
wearing his new glasses. He walked east. Play followed close
behind him. Will I kept pace with him across the street.
Next corner, I crossed over and fell in step beside
Larry's veil. You wanna spend the best five bucks you
(20:06):
ever spent your life, bud?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Humph? What you mean?
Speaker 7 (20:09):
Shake that ranger that's tailing me? What it's been on
your tail last half hour? Like a flea on a hound?
Or where back the ways? Don't look around?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Oh you're crazy? White A ranger to you me, he's
got no reason. Whyn't you tell him? To stop following you.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
But you're not kidding near he stop by this window
and see his reflection. I don't see him there, he
is back by the building. Anybody knows the tale I do,
and to learn it the hard way and just see him.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, how do I know when he's following me? Maybe
he's after you? Yeah, you don't follow me along. I
watch my back trail too close. He's been following you,
and I've been following him. Huh. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
I'll show you how to shake him and include that
in the price of the five bucks.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Come on, let's watch out so fast. Take it easy.
You ain't a copy. Uh, that's a good one. I
should walk along helping you uck a guy with a badge.
If I was a coup use your head, kids. Yeah,
that's right, just doing your favor because I can use
a five bucks here around this corner. He's still coming.
(21:11):
I don't like this, of course not. I wouldn't either
if I was you. I'm getting out of here. There'll
be a chump be caught for you. Get a block
this way in this ten cent store? Why do you
want too many years? Let's take it easy and mostly
along towards the back ten years cleaning behind us, almost.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
An alley behind these ten ten stores or the trucks
on the road. And it should be a back door
here somewhere.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Come on here, all right, let's move the cabin stand
in the corner. Okay, cabin sitting there. Here's he coming.
Don't bother looking. Just keep going going, get in nice.
We're in a hurry. Driver, Go straight ahead and step
on it. Just keep going. Well, I tell you to turn, boy,
(22:01):
there's nothing to him.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
An hour later, I was still with Larry Vale and
left the cab after a short ride.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
And walked the last three blocks to the small hotel
where he had a room.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
He insisted on buying some peanuts on the way. I
told him my name was Steve Jarvis and let him
do most of the talking.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Good peanut, Steve once more. Yeah, don't spoil my appetite. No, boy,
I want to tell you I'm the luckiest guy in
the world meeting up with you, and I did how
many times cause something like this happened? Mm? It was
good goobers, which God bought some more? You know, I
when you run into somebody your age already knows the scar. Yeah,
(22:45):
I guess that's right, you hoped to Steve. You don't
think I'm bumming around cause I like it? Do you?
Right now? I need a steak to get me on
my feet? Oh? How we use money? Sure was worth
of him? What you did? Yeah, I don't want you
to do. I need some rail dog go to find
a good deal. Hey, Steve, I got a idea. Why
(23:07):
don't you work with us? Yeh, who's us? You mean
the boss? We need another guy who's gonna ask my cousin.
As long as we need somebody, might as well be you.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
No reason why he wouldn't go for that?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Maybe depends? What's the deal?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Hot cars?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Cars? Huh yep?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
We lift them mostly around the corpus.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Drive him over here. He's jump bringing in another one today.
What do you do with him? Drive him across the border? No,
we don't. He's got a Mexican comes up from him.
But now we're bringing two cars each time. Need another
driver to take him across. And what he says, Steve,
m maybe he won't like the idea of taking in
a stranger. That what you did for me, He'll go
(23:46):
for it. Um, Can I eat your boss? No? Any time?
Now supposed to meet him at a cafe. Come on,
let's head down there, okay kidding? Hey wait, how about
that ranger?
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Yeah, I don't worry about him. He he's easy this shape.
He took a taxi to a small cafe in a
tough district just up the name Drag.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I spotted play behind us. He was doing some real trailing. Now,

Speaker 4 (03:03):
I don't care not about Elkin and Sleepy.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
No pitcher. Ever since you was a kid, all I
ever heard out of you was baseball. It wasn't baseball
was fishing by the time you growed up. All right, Tom,
all right, how fast she thinks you'll go? Oh? A hundred? Maybe?
Only don't you try it now? I drove one once.
It was marked on the speed on it for one
hundred and ten, but she couldn't make more ninety.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Don't you drive that car if you had no Naty?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You want some cop to stop you for speeding? Ain't
no one stopped me yet? You get picked up, lad,
And I don't know you. You remember that I ain't
telling you how to drive this car. Well, I'm telling
you don't you take that car with fifty You getting
too smart for your own good. Lately. Think everything's a
game like those baseball players yours. No, kid, Tom, I
(03:47):
won't speed. You know, I wished I had a gun
like you got it. You'd get a gun, you'd be
dumb enough to use it. What do you think you
need one for? I don't know. I just wish I
had one. Yeah, he'll stop at the grocery store, always does.
I still wish I had a gun. You getting scared.
I can take care of myself. When you get down there.
(04:09):
You call your cousin Melvin, see if he wants to
drive one of the cars across Mexican. Can't drive both
of 'em. Yes, you, he's throwing down. You know what
to do now. Sure, I got to jump a wife
already connected, just like you've seen me do the other
times on the coil. I'd open that hood quiet, like
I know how to do it. You better sort of
worried you going alone for the first time. I'm telling
(04:32):
y' I'll be all right. When I see your tongues.
Speaker 4 (04:34):

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Probably day after tomorrow. I'll call here and say where
you're to meet me. I'll drop you off just past
the store, and when he gets inside okay, lady, okay, so.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Off, what are you doing to my tom?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Kill it? What do you think you're doing? Call me
time you're the chair.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I kill you?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Drop that night off to you? Kill you.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Captain Lavis of the Highway Patrol was some in the media,
and he in turn requested the help of.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The Texas Ranger.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Ranger Jace Pearson was assigned and at ten thirty pm
met the Captain in the hospital where the victim was
being given emergency treatment.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
How lev read you made it a vest? He's in there?
How he is? He pretty bad?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Boy's trowing me his arms and chester o cut up.
But he could be a lot worse. Expect to be
scarred up some. I'd see him here if the Dyke
same captain, maybe this Highway Patrol, this this range of Pearson.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Uh, this will just take him into mister Dyke's. Did
you get a good look at this fella night you? No,
not much light? First saw him. He was looking under
the hood and happened pretty fast. Well, how about his size?
Was he a big man? Not rightly man at all?
This kid maybe sixteen seven? And m kid, huh can
(06:34):
you describe him at all? Oh? I like I said
it was dark. I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know him
if I saw him set. He had glasses and they
got knocked off.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I got him here, Jase picked him up on the street.
Ordinary steel rim cut and let's see. Hum the lens
is pretty thick. He must have bad eyes.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
One lens broken. Yeah, how these darktor camms? The Dykes,
you leave the motor running when you got out. Oh,
I know better than that, ranger. I turned it off
and took the key stone my cause, I guess.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
M the kid must have used the car jumper under
the hood to short the ignition wires.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's where we figured.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Joh, well, thanks, mister Dykes. We'll get a complete statement later.
You better get some rest. Now, come on, LEVI so you.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Get easy, mister Dyke.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Okay, lucky then I didn't get into his face.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Yeah, you sat on the phone. There's been a string
of these car fats.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Yeah, it's the fifth five expensive cars. Store 'em in
the last six seven weeks. Always done the same way.
But nobody could hurt before this.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Will somebody always does sooner or later you recover any
of 'em. That one.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
I got a vague description of one of the thieves
a couple of weeks back. Young punk worm glasses might
be the same. Kid doesn't sound like a kid taking
a car for a joy ride.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
They usually abandon it by morning.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
And no, it looks like somebody's building up a real
sweet racket room, so.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
He's able to get rid of him so fast that
you can't find 'em. Kid's probably not playing a lone hand.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, that's the way I figured.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
After I talked to the shirt and I had a
contact at Austin, it was headquarters idea.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
We worked together. Let's get back to your office and
call Austin. That pair of glasses looks like our lead.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
A Captain Davis outhefite put in a call to the
Bureau of Identification and Records in Austin.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I asked them for all pictures of teenage.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Boys wearing glasses who might be possible subjects for investigation
in this case. The pictures came down in the morning
plane Captain Navis and I started calling on optomic Frits
and Corpose Christie, as there were none in hiding. It
was almost noon when we found an optomatrist who recognized
one of the pictures from his records. He definitely identified
the glasses as the Perry had made.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
The prescription of the.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Unbroken lens was identical. Subject's name was Larry Vale, age seventeen.
He'd been picked up in September of the previous year
for investigation of car theft and was.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Released for lack of evidence. Larry Vale lived eighteen miles
outside Corpose, Christie in a rural area. We headed out
there with a search.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Warm.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Doesn't look like much of the place. Just check. Think
maybe he's in there hiding. It's possible. What do you
wanna do? Take a look around the back. They got
chickens back there. Maybe somebody around had left these parts
out the last minute. There wanna be something here. Kids
(09:22):
don't usually live alone. You'd imagine we'd find this. Fooks
are right book, Jase. Oh, let's feed on the ground.
Chickens haven't had time to eat it though, and I
been fed morning a few minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Who is that out back?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
M There is somebody in the house. Come on, you
been in here all the time, mister, oh arranger. No,
I just come in and been feeding the chickens. The
DearS knocking on the front door. No, I didn't hear nothing.
Come on in. I'm Tom Vale and mind your pearson.
(09:55):
That's got me the highway to so Cattie. Yeah, you
wanna see, can't about something? Larry Vale live here? Why
he ask him about Larry? I just want to talk
to him. What about? Just tell little ranger where he is? Mister?
Well he ain't here? Was he here last night? Well? No,
he went fishing, does every once in a while, stays
away a few days at a time. No excuse me,
(10:16):
I better turn down a fire on those teams. You
any kenda? Lorry? Yeah, I'm Larry's brother. Why he in trouble? Maybe?
Why does he go fishing? Oh around? He was gone
when I come home yesterday, Because now I did work
in find him? Maybe a rock bord porder Ramsis likes
to fish off the jetties. Might even be on a
(10:37):
shrimp boat. Does it once in a while, pick up
a couple of bucks? How about? Can be no thanks
either about your brother? Doesn't he have a study job, Larry? No,
he used to work in the packing plant ice and vegetables.
Didn't like it though, bad to go fishing. Think spending
money selling his catch. They'll like to know what you
(10:57):
want him for. We think your brother stole a last
night knife? The man pretty bad? Where Porter ends is hiding?
Or it must be some mistake. Larry wouldn't do nothing
like that. Besides, to know he went fishing. We want
to have a talk with him about it? Then, okay,
But I know you got the wrong guy.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Larry's a good kid. He wouldn't cut anybody.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
He was investigated for cars that last year, wasn't he?
Oh yeah, they said he took a car. He was
just a bunch of kids, you know how it is.
But they couldn't hold him because he wasn't guilty. He
can't hold that against him. Mind, if we take a
look through the house, Oh why should I? Thanks? Where's
your brother's room? That one right there? Okay to go in?
(11:37):
If yourself I still see him, make him big mistake.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
I'd say he likes baseball from all those pictures on
the walls.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, he's nuts about it, that's all. He talks about
that and fishing. Wants some confidence for me? No thanks, Well,
if you don't mind, I got to get that pot
off or still was over?
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Sure, go ahead and I'll be right back. What do
you think you sh well? We know Larry didn't go fishing.
I'll look through these drawers. How about checking that closet, Levi?
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Okay, up a loaded chunk in here, James, everything just like.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
My boy, LEVI, where's Howard Memorial Ballpark? Run around here? Boy? Friendship? Maybe?
Or baseball tickets? Let's go there often. Let's spread the
numbers on 'em. I'd say they were bought over quite
a period of time. They could mean something. Could we
gonna jump down these ticket numbers?
Speaker 6 (12:35):
She's sure crazy about peaceful as the brother's coming back here.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I'm finished well finding knives, running half shifts or anything. No,
we didn't find anything like that. Well, look all you like.
I think we've seen enough. M Well, come back anytime.
You always welcome. Thanks. We may take you up on that.
(13:00):
We went back to the Highway Patrol office and put
out an APB on Larry Vale.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
We learned that Howard Memorial Ballpark was located in Mead, Texas,
one hundred and fifty miles away. I followed the hunch
and called the manager of the ballpark to check on
the dates of the ticket stubs found in Larry Vale's room.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Come here, Leviy, I want you to see this. Your hunch. Fales, Huh,
I think we've got something. A car stolen here. May ninth,
the kid sees a ballgame in Mead. May tenth, car
stolen May twenty third, kids in me the twenty four
same routine June sixth and seventh, and again last.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Week, and Mead's right on the border. Do you think
those cars are being run over into Mexico?
Speaker 7 (13:36):
Wouldn't be surprised if the pattern holds up. Larry Vales
do to see that game tonight and saw my.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
In just a moment.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
We will continue with tales of the Texas Rangers, starring
Joel McCrae as Ranger Jays Pearson.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Medical science now knows that there are about twenty one
well recognized types of heart disease. One of the leading
heart authorities, doctor Paul D. White, declares that the classifying
of heart disease into various types is one of the
greatest medical advances of our time. This is only one
of the great advances such as new surgical techniques, new drugs,
(14:31):
new methods of care, prevention and treatment, which have brought
new hope to millions of hearts. New hope for hearts
is the slogan of the Heart Fund of the American
Heart Association and its affiliates. Your contribution will help our
doctors to continue their fight against heart disease, this nation's
(14:53):
leading cause of death. Do your share, because it is
your fight. Send your contribution today to HEARTTA RT Heart
in care of your post office. Allow back to Tales
of the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
We continue now with Tales of the Texas Rangers and
our authentic story.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Bright Boy, our radio ranger, claimed Morgan, and asked him
to meet me in Mead. I figured I could get
there before the game started and we'd be able to
stop Larry.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Vale entering or leaving the ballpark. I was thirty miles
from Mean when it started the rain.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
By the time I pulled him to town and was
coming down, hard Player was waiting for me at the
hotel coffee shop.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Might as well sit down and have a cup of coffee. Jason,
Why what's up? Play? And I hate the game's been
called and I was afraid of that? Did I have
a cup of coffee? Miss any other ideas where we
can find him?
Speaker 7 (15:49):
And he's better than sixty thousand people in this town
might run into quite a job picking him out.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Got a mug shot of him, Yeah, a couple. Here's
his picture wearing glasses taken last year just.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
To punk is and uh huh.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Here he is again without respects and he sure must
need him the way squinch probably having a rough time
now that he's.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
Lost him, unless he had another pair of maids, and
I don't think he's had time for that yet. Many
optometrists in towns playing well four or five.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
He could be having a maid here. Think we better
start making the rounds in the morning. Uh yeah, I
buy a chase record. We might've been wrong. They'll got
a chance. There's another optometrist uff I had and if
he's not getting his glasses in this down, we'll have
(16:37):
a time find him. And nobody had probably in the
back hit the call bell, Yeah, just the man head.
What rangers he was?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Every time I go in back, somebody comes in.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
I'm sorry if we well, that's all right, and he
used to it. Want to move the lens grinders up front?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
What can I do? Good gentlemen? I ranger Pierson, This
ranger Morgan. No, I'm Doc Heath. We're looking for a
kid about seventeen. Figure he might have come here for glasses.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
He's pictures about a year old second to put my
glasses on, and funny you're looking for in trouble he
wanted for question him, sir, he was in yesterday morning.
You posted to absolutely ranger it's the same one and
the fact that's his glasses I'm working on.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Now, what are the same kind of frames like in
this picture?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
You know where he's staying?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Got his dress right to hear in the order.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
One hundred and twenty eighth jacket street named Sam Jones.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Okay, thanks, I'll be back of three to pick his
glasses up. Doing a rush job for him, says his
eyes were killing him.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Been a lot of help, Doc much obliged. We had
to be a service rangers anytime.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
If we don't find him, buy three, we'll be back.
Ranger Morgan and I went to the address giving us
for the optometris. Larry Vale alias Sam Jones wasn't there.
It was an empty field.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Good for a minute that Jack was it and he
just pulled out a dress out of his hat. Happened
to be this field. Yeah, I would have to pick
him up the optometriss go on getting Jason. Maybe we
shouldn't pick him up, Clay, what do you mean? I
got an idea. Suppose you tail him and let him
know he's being followed. What you plan? We're gonna try
and get friendly with him. Look it up this way.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
Larry Vale just a kid, seventeen years old. He steals cars,
four of them, we're pretty sure of. He brings him
to the Mexican border each time.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
He can't be in this alone. We've gotta find out
who's with him. If you can get into the kid's confidence,
he's gonna try any better. Watch him jas he knows
how to handle a knight. Yeah, a man in the
hospital told me. We drove the local highway patrol office.
(18:52):
They arranged for me to borrow a cheap suit that
looked like somebody had slept in for a week. I
put it on and we.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Drove back to the optometris's office. We got there a
few minutes after two.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Clay parked the car on the site while I went
in to see the optometrists. Hello doc, Hi, Oh he
didn't recognizing them. Cloth boy been here yet for his glasses?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
No, No, he has him to expect him pretty soon.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Now we'd be outside watching. Don't let him know we've
been here.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Oh, try, and I'm sure try ranging what's the matter?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Doc? Oh I just little edgy, I guess, and just
keep calm. We'll do the rest.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
After Clay parked the car, he walked down to the
bus stop at the corner and stood against.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
The wall reading the newspaper.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
I picked a little hash house directly across the street
from the aptometrist and sat by the window.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
We waited.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
By three o'clock, I was on my third cup of coffee.
Larry Veil showed up ten minutes later and went into
the optometrists shop. Fifteen minutes after that, he came out
wearing his new glasses. He walked east. Play followed close
behind him. Will I kept pace with him across the street.
Next corner, I crossed over and fell in step beside
Larry's veil. You wanna spend the best five bucks you
(20:06):
ever spent your life, bud?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Humph? What you mean?
Speaker 7 (20:09):
Shake that ranger that's tailing me? What it's been on
your tail last half hour? Like a flea on a hound?
Or where back the ways? Don't look around?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Oh you're crazy? White A ranger to you me, he's
got no reason. Whyn't you tell him? To stop following you.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
But you're not kidding near he stop by this window
and see his reflection. I don't see him there, he
is back by the building. Anybody knows the tale I do,
and to learn it the hard way and just see him.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, how do I know when he's following me? Maybe
