deputy in the bank teller's room. The teller just died
(10:47):
unconscious all the way. Nope, came to for just a
second before he passed on. Did he say anything?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Nothing?
Speaker 7 (10:53):
You don't already know. Ranger man who shot him had
gold teeth.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
It was night before the fingerprint crew found anything.
Speaker 11 (11:04):
I unloaded my horse charcoal from the car trailer and
was watering and feeding him. A delivery stable and highway
patrol on the road brought over the reports.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Come on the way, Come.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
On, well, jeez, I know who the dead one is.
Speaker 11 (11:16):
Let's see John Commons served four years Huntsville armed robbery.
No family, no moon associates since leaving penitentiary.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
That's no help for finding the other one.
Speaker 11 (11:27):
Oh, I could have known him before he went to
prisoner or after. Anything on the car.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
They y'all here, Hm.
Speaker 11 (11:34):
Lots of prints, but no clear ones except the full
thumb impression on the camp of the gas tank.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
I haven't got anything on that print yet.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Though, whoever it is, he has no record in Texas,
he will have.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
The I may have something on him. I'm not gonna
wait around here though.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yeah. I don't like it either. But which way can
you go?
Speaker 11 (11:52):
Both ways? Car was stolen rank and that's west. I'll
head back that way. You take the highway east.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
You got a plan.
Speaker 11 (11:59):
Something was busy while we're waiting for a report on
that thumbprint. Check every doctor along the way and see
if any of them have stitched a head wound for
a man with gold teeth. For a good part of
the night and half the next day. I covered the
towns and the back roads between towns, country doctors and
emergency hospitals.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
None of them had seen the man I was after.
Speaker 11 (12:20):
Then finally kt XI and San Angelo came through kt XI.

sundown when I reached Santa Rita. Robert Trummer wasn't hard
(13:12):

kid and his father and your pal Commons.
Speaker 11 (14:06):
I don't know what you're talking about, Ranger. Try remembering, Trumer,
you got a cut on your head. Take your hat
off and let's have a look at that. Sure, I'll
take my head off.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Well you're looking, Ranger, you see any cut?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
No, Trumor, I don't see any cut.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
So if the guy you're looking for has a cut
on his head, Ranger, it ain't me.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Happy.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
National Wheaties Week, everybody from the Wheaties people, from me,

Speaker 7 (15:29):
Are Stacy, and thanks for talking for us. On National
Wheaties Week. I took Traumer with me and drove back
to Live Oak. There was no cut on his head,
but he fitted everything else. His print latched the one
on the gas cap.
Speaker 11 (15:49):
I stopped at the hospital and Trumer consented to have
his blood type taken.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
When the duck gets through testing that, he'll only tell
you what I told you before.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
My blood type is zold.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
You sent for me?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Ranger?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, mister Raper, you ever see this man before?
Speaker 5 (16:08):
He looks like the fella?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Why you all him alive? I'll sit down.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
Well, mister rap is here, isn't he I've seen him before?
Where was he the man who climbed out of that wreck?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Look, mister, maybe you did see me before. I run
a gas station thirty miles down the highway.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You might have seen me.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
There, but you didn't see me here yesterday.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
How about it, mister Raber Ranger, I'm not sure.
Speaker 12 (16:34):
After all, a fellow that get out of the car
had a gun in his hand and blood all over
his face. All I remember is them gold teeth.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
I ain't the only man in the world with gold teeth.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
He may be telling the truth. Ranger.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
You're after a blood type ab. This man's blood is
pretty common type old.
Speaker 11 (16:51):
Like he said, the case against Trumer was falling apart
in my hands. I only had one thing left, his fingerprint,
tying him with the stolen sedan. I took him over
to the local garage. Recognize this car, Trummer, Your thumb
(17:18):
print was right on this tank cap.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
So I guessed the car up at the station. Maybe
that's how my thumb. Hey, let me see that cat. Well,
I sold a tank cap like this yesterday morning. Had
to prize old cap off with a chisel. Look, hey,
you can see the marks. Car wasn't hit.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
On this side.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Keep talking, well, this guy came in for gas early
six am. I was just opening up his tank cap
was a kind of locks and he didn't have the key,
said he lost his key, even had to jump the
switch to get the car started.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Here see whires a jumped on this one.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I know that that's how it was stolen. Didn't you
think of that when he didn't have the keys? Ranger?
Speaker 6 (18:00):
It happens all the time. People are always losing keys.
I've done it myself.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I should have known there was something fishy about that guy. Why?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Oh, because he didn't have any money to pay for
the gas. Didn't tell me till i'd filled.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It up either. Why don't you let him leave?
Speaker 6 (18:15):
He took ten gallons in the gas, cat bill came
to two ninety three, left me a hunting knife and
a sheet for security with maybe eight or nine bucks.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Did he come back for it?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
No, I got it locked in my tool chest back
of the station.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Would you know the man if you saw him again?
I think so. Just getting daylight.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Oh, one customer's face looks like another, but I'd remember him.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
He have gold teeth like you.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
That's something I can't tell you. He was chewing to
cut it to back and talking through it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Come on, I'll drive you back to your station and
have a look at that knife.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Y saw your car outside?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Hi the rhoads.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I checked a lot of doctors on.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
The East Highway, went up them and did the kind
of stitch job we're looking for.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I may have a lead.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
Get in your car and tag after me. Here's a
knife just like you left it, fresh horn and clean
as a whistle.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
No prints on that blade.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Roads. Take a look at the sheet design burned in
the leather.
Speaker 11 (19:23):
Yeah, the engraved and pretty fancy. Sometimes this is at
an electric engraving job. It's not good enough.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Owner burned this in himself, probably used a hot wire.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
That drawing looks like a buffalo head, Jase, but it
isn't now.
Speaker 11 (19:39):
Smaller drawings around it looked like trees, like some scene
he was burning out.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Well, yeah, yeah, Jay, say something like that.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
You see way off from the highway stake twenty three
west of rank here, that's.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
It Roads, Buffalo Mesa.
Speaker 11 (19:51):
Let's get up that way and see if we can
find a doc who stitched a headcut.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It was mid morning when we reached the area. There
were three doctors and the twenty mile radios. The first
one had nothing for us, but the second one.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yes, I stitched a head wound like that day four yesterday,
cow pop U Joe Foy fell off his horse. Matter
of fact, he was in here this morning about three
hours ago to have the dressing change.
Speaker 11 (20:21):
If you put on a fresh dressing, the one you
changed is in that trash container, isn't that, Doc?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Why yes? Any blood on it? Of course, cut was deep,
hasn't healed yet. Can you get that dressing out and
check it for blood.
Speaker 11 (20:33):
Type or take a few minutes. I waited a couple
of days for this, Doc. I can wait a few
more minutes.
Speaker 13 (20:39):
Hey, you're ranging unusual classification type A B.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
That's it, Chase.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah. Do you know whether this Joe Foy works dock? Why?
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Ben Kinney's place left the crossroads and six miles out
Frida near Buffalo Mason.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I'm on the roads right, oh, Doc.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Yeah, boy has a couple of gold teeth.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Doesn't he gold teeth? Why?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
No, Range, he doesn't have gold teeth.
Speaker 11 (21:16):
I found one man with gold teeth, and he wasn't
the right man. Now I had another one to go after,
but he didn't have gold teeth. Rhodes and I drove
out to the Kuinea ranch. The only one around was
an old woman.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
I need to cook here, mister Kenny and the man
who works on him out on the Honda.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Where does boy bunk in the barn?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
It's a small room.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I want to show us with me. This is bunker.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Yeah, good joyce. Look carved to the edge of the bug.
Speaker 11 (21:50):
Yeah, buffalo mesa. It looks just like the one on
the sheet. Better have a look through this foot locker.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Likely he'd have his gun with him, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Chase just making sure? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Hey, what is it? Catton the chewing the beacker? Hey,
that fits.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Fellaw at the service station said, oh man was chewing
when he stopped there.
Speaker 11 (22:11):
Yeah, and I've seen this brand of chew before. If
my memory isn't a lion, there's something else that fish.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
You shouldn't tell all the mister Boy's things.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I just want to see one of these plugs. Here's
the answer, Roades.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Eh, the plugs are wrapped in gold foil.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (22:30):
If I tear off a square of the foil and
put it over my front teeth like that, I look
like I have gold teeth.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
And every witness who saw Foy was throwing us off
the trailer instead of helping it.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
I wonder how he.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Thought of it.
Speaker 11 (22:44):
Probably got the idea in his way to live oak
when he saw Trumer at the gas station.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I'm gonna take charcoal out of the trailer and ride
out to the rain. I'll get a horse from the
corral and our thanks roads.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
But you better stick here.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
If boy spots me coming, he might make a run
for the ranch and grab a car or a pickup truck.
You stay here and see if he doesn't get to him.
Speaker 1 (23:21):

Something was busy while we're waiting for a report on
that thumbprint. Check every doctor along the way and see
if any of them have stitched a head wound for
a man with gold teeth. For a good part of
the night and half the next day. I covered the
towns and the back roads between towns, country doctors and
emergency hospitals.

Are Stacy, and thanks for talking for us. On National
Wheaties Week. I took Traumer with me and drove back
to Live Oak. There was no cut on his head,
but he fitted everything else. His print latched the one
on the gas cap.
Speaker 11 (15:49):
I stopped at the hospital and Trumer consented to have
his blood type taken.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
When the duck gets through testing that, he'll only tell
you what I told you before.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
My blood type is zold.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
You sent for me?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Ranger?
Speaker 1 (16:03):

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Why you all him alive? I'll sit down.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
Well, mister rap is here, isn't he I've seen him before?
Where was he the man who climbed out of that wreck?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Look, mister, maybe you did see me before. I run
a gas station thirty miles down the highway.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You might have seen me.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
There, but you didn't see me here yesterday.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
How about it, mister Raber Ranger, I'm not sure.
Speaker 12 (16:34):
After all, a fellow that get out of the car
had a gun in his hand and blood all over
his face. All I remember is them gold teeth.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
I ain't the only man in the world with gold teeth.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
He may be telling the truth. Ranger.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
You're after a blood type ab. This man's blood is
pretty common type old.
Speaker 11 (16:51):
Like he said, the case against Trumer was falling apart
in my hands. I only had one thing left, his fingerprint,
tying him with the stolen sedan. I took him over
to the local garage. Recognize this car, Trummer, Your thumb
(17:18):
print was right on this tank cap.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
So I guessed the car up at the station. Maybe
that's how my thumb. Hey, let me see that cat. Well,
I sold a tank cap like this yesterday morning. Had
to prize old cap off with a chisel. Look, hey,
you can see the marks. Car wasn't hit.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
On this side.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Keep talking, well, this guy came in for gas early
six am. I was just opening up his tank cap

said he lost his key, even had to jump the
switch to get the car started.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Here see whires a jumped on this one.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I know that that's how it was stolen. Didn't you
think of that when he didn't have the keys? Ranger?
Speaker 6 (18:00):
It happens all the time. People are always losing keys.
I've done it myself.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I should have known there was something fishy about that guy. Why?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Oh, because he didn't have any money to pay for
the gas. Didn't tell me till i'd filled.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It up either. Why don't you let him leave?
Speaker 6 (18:15):
He took ten gallons in the gas, cat bill came
to two ninety three, left me a hunting knife and
a sheet for security with maybe eight or nine bucks.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Did he come back for it?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
No, I got it locked in my tool chest back
of the station.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Would you know the man if you saw him again?
I think so. Just getting daylight.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Oh, one customer's face looks like another, but I'd remember him.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
He have gold teeth like you.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
That's something I can't tell you. He was chewing to
cut it to back and talking through it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Come on, I'll drive you back to your station and
have a look at that knife.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Y saw your car outside?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Hi the rhoads.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I checked a lot of doctors on.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
The East Highway, went up them and did the kind
of stitch job we're looking for.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I may have a lead.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
Get in your car and tag after me. Here's a
knife just like you left it, fresh horn and clean
as a whistle.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
No prints on that blade.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Roads. Take a look at the sheet design burned in
the leather.
Speaker 11 (19:23):
Yeah, the engraved and pretty fancy. Sometimes this is at
an electric engraving job. It's not good enough.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Owner burned this in himself, probably used a hot wire.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
That drawing looks like a buffalo head, Jase, but it
isn't now.
Speaker 11 (19:39):
Smaller drawings around it looked like trees, like some scene
he was burning out.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Well, yeah, yeah, Jay, say something like that.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
You see way off from the highway stake twenty three
west of rank here, that's.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
It Roads, Buffalo Mesa.
Speaker 11 (19:51):
Let's get up that way and see if we can
find a doc who stitched a headcut.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It was mid morning when we reached the area. There
were three doctors and the twenty mile radios. The first
one had nothing for us, but the second one.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yes, I stitched a head wound like that day four yesterday,
cow pop U Joe Foy fell off his horse. Matter
of fact, he was in here this morning about three
hours ago to have the dressing change.
Speaker 11 (20:21):
If you put on a fresh dressing, the one you
changed is in that trash container, isn't that, Doc?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Why yes? Any blood on it? Of course, cut was deep,
hasn't healed yet. Can you get that dressing out and
check it for blood.
Speaker 11 (20:33):
Type or take a few minutes. I waited a couple
of days for this, Doc. I can wait a few
more minutes.
Speaker 13 (20:39):
Hey, you're ranging unusual classification type A B.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
That's it, Chase.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah. Do you know whether this Joe Foy works dock? Why?
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Ben Kinney's place left the crossroads and six miles out
Frida near Buffalo Mason.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I'm on the roads right, oh, Doc.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Yeah, boy has a couple of gold teeth.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Doesn't he gold teeth? Why?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
No, Range, he doesn't have gold teeth.
Speaker 11 (21:16):
I found one man with gold teeth, and he wasn't
the right man. Now I had another one to go after,
but he didn't have gold teeth. Rhodes and I drove
out to the Kuinea ranch. The only one around was
an old woman.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
I need to cook here, mister Kenny and the man
who works on him out on the Honda.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Where does boy bunk in the barn?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
It's a small room.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I want to show us with me. This is bunker.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Yeah, good joyce. Look carved to the edge of the bug.
Speaker 11 (21:50):
Yeah, buffalo mesa. It looks just like the one on
the sheet. Better have a look through this foot locker.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Likely he'd have his gun with him, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Chase just making sure? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Hey, what is it? Catton the chewing the beacker? Hey,
that fits.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Fellaw at the service station said, oh man was chewing
when he stopped there.
Speaker 11 (22:11):
Yeah, and I've seen this brand of chew before. If
my memory isn't a lion, there's something else that fish.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
You shouldn't tell all the mister Boy's things.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I just want to see one of these plugs. Here's
the answer, Roades.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Eh, the plugs are wrapped in gold foil.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (22:30):
If I tear off a square of the foil and
put it over my front teeth like that, I look
like I have gold teeth.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
And every witness who saw Foy was throwing us off
the trailer instead of helping it.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
I wonder how he.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Thought of it.
Speaker 11 (22:44):
Probably got the idea in his way to live oak
when he saw Trumer at the gas station.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
I'm gonna take charcoal out of the trailer and ride
out to the rain. I'll get a horse from the
corral and our thanks roads.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
But you better stick here.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
If boy spots me coming, he might make a run
for the ranch and grab a car or a pickup truck.
You stay here and see if he doesn't get to him.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Looking for something you Joe boy?
Speaker 12 (23:24):
No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Ranger Boy in some kind of trouble. I'd call him murder,
plenty of trouble. Murder. Yeah, where is he?
Speaker 11 (23:32):
Down the royers? Rounded up streets? Glady to show you?
All right, let's go. You know where boy was Monday?
Speaker 12 (23:40):
Took the day off to fix his gear up and
get ready for the round of You see him during
the day, Nope. Went over to his bunk that night, though,
to see why he didn't show. Summer had a cut
on his head, said he fell, Doc.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Hit him, passed up. I know about that. There he
comes now around the maze. He spotted us. He's turning
back for cover.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Get up, get.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Up, here's behind here? Who oh, boy, Ranger you're hit.
I got to get him. You hit him, but he's up.
He's running for the river. I got to get him.
Come here, Charc, Come here boy. He left shoulder rooks
mighty bad. But you can't chase him like that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I hit him. Come here, boy. If he can move
with a bullet in him, so can I get up?
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Charc?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Oh oh boy? He went into the river. Here got
the follow on foot. I watched the banks for tracks
in case he came home.
Speaker 12 (25:04):
Live the wines and bings. Han't see fire ahead with
the wheelers hang over it.
Speaker 11 (25:08):
I'll see him when I get to him.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
I'm gonna bring you in by I kill your writer.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
You'd better kill me bye, or you'll never leave another
dead kid in the street.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Ain't far ahead, reader, not as far as he'd like
to be here.
Speaker 12 (25:29):
Yeah, stopped, listener, ain't waiting anymore.
Speaker 11 (25:37):
He stepped out of the streamer. He's waiting in ambush.
You better stay behind me. Can I move forward? Slowly
and watching the bank for tracks, and watching the close
(26:00):
where he might hide and far. I had several of
the willows around the stream dipped clear down the water.
Les floated down the stream coming, and one of them
was a clear red blood spot.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Look od inger, Come on.
Speaker 12 (26:26):
No, it looks like he's gonna need the electric chair.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Did you No? Not anymore?
Speaker 12 (26:34):
I let me help you, and you gotta get to
a doctor here.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
I I guess you're right.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I sort of forgot. I was hit thinking about what
he did to a few other people.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
The body of Joseph Foy was definitely identified as that
of the killer and hidden run driver. A ballistic check
showed that his gun was the weapon used in the
murder of the bank clerk. Ranger Jace Pearson was taken
to the nearest hospital, where after a blood transfusion, he
was pronounced out of danger.
