it's always fun the meat of Wheaties champion, especially when
he's as nice a guy as Bob Feller, the Cleveland Indian. Hello, Bob,
I ed, Are you seeing many baseball games these days? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You bad?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Robert? You eating many wheaties these days? What a question?

Well, I've been eating Wheene's for breakfast almost every morning
for pretty close to twenty.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Years and still going strong. Whitties are money, tough to
get tired of. I guess wheenies and milk and fruit
will still be my favorite breakfast when I'm too old
to climb out of the dugout. Now that won't be
happening for a lot of years yet. Thanks for stopping in.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Bob Feller, a real Wheaty's champ.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
You know, gentlemen of the audience, this man Feller has
a wife and youngsters, even as you and I. His
paycheck depends in part on healthy energy, just as ours does.
You got my point? We need him too. Wheaties Breakfast
of Champions, get yours And.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Now back to our story with Joel McCrae as Ranger Pearson.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
The body was discovered at eight fifteen in the morning
of October fourth, when the fence ride up from the
ranch bordering the highway found it in the brush.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
At the side of the road.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
He reported the discovery to the nearest sh Erraff and
the sheriff relaid the report to the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Ranger Jase Pearson was assigned to the case. There's the
body of Jace under that sheet. Where was he found?
The sheriff about eleven mile east. Must have been dumped
out of a car and shot three times, one through
(05:24):
the neck and two through the chest. Thirty eight colar Yeah,
corner got two of the slugs. Any identification on him
or anything? Jace? Whoever done it even stole the clothes
off him, stepping his shirt and shorts the necktime, and
a pack of cigarettes from his shirt. Punky, it's all
(05:45):
there on the table, Hm, Andre mark on the shirt.
That might help Corners say how long he's been dead? Oh,
since four or five o'clock this morning? Hum? These cigarettes
were they on him? Yeah? Why may help any maybe
(06:07):
a whole lot? Look at this New York state tax stamp.
Can you make something out of there? Only the one
pack of cigarettes wouldn't have lasted him from New York
to Texas. Probably bought a cartner to start out on
the trip, so his home might be in New York.
I'm reckon an awful lot of folks to buy a
cottoner smokes in New York. Case, Yeah, but it's a
(06:27):
place to start. Checking that laundry mark on the shirt.
It will be a help we know who this man is.
I'll send these things into the lab and they can
send a wire photo of the mark to New York.
The corner has some pictures of the body. I'll put
them on the wire too. You got a deputy to
get the stuff to my headquarter, sure thing. I'll call
him good and we can get out and check the scene.
(07:04):
Had this little piece of road here blocked off some
who cars could wipe out anything good? Eh, body was
found right in here, Yeah, ragged in from the road.
Back of the heels scraped along. Their clothing caught on
the mesquite here. And what''re picking off there? A little
(07:25):
fibers of cloth snagged on here. A lat men get
through with these and may be able to tell us
what kind of duds they came from. Let's take a
look at the road, fresh headed tire tracks here on
the shoulder. Jans, Yeah, I noticed him. Impressions deeper here
(07:45):
that's where they stopped. Look at the marks around it.
Body was dragged out of the driver's side. That makes
a difference. Means the dead man must have been driving,
so it was a good chance it was his own car.
I reckon it is, But how about the other villa?
Could be the same old story, Sheriff, a hitchhiker. Man
(08:09):
have to be a fool and take a hitchhiker through
this country, didn't I? Yeah, a fool. The trouble with
fools is most of them are nice people. They don't
rate being killed. I'm gonna play a hunch, make some
work for the Highway Patrol. Captain Stimpson's out on investigation.
I may be able to reach him in his car.
(08:32):
Unit ten, the Unit three, Unit ten, the Unit three,
Unit three, the Unit ten Go ahead. Unit ten requests
all points bullet and alerting Highway Patrol and Ranger units
to stop and check all cars carrying New York state plates.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Exhibit you sent over and arrived Unit ten. You know,
just going on that cigarette tax stamp? Are you no?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Captain murder scene check indicates victim was driving car he
would stumped from, might have been his own.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
We're trying guess.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
How soon can we expect report from New York police
on laundry.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Mark That don't take time, Unit ten, We'll keep you informed.
I have reports on exhibits in a few hours.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
We'll keep Unit three informed if I move from this location,
Unit ten, ten to four. After the ten fourth sign off,
I took the sheriff back to his office, and that's
(09:35):
when the hardest part of all hunting began, the waiting.
The only thing we knew for certain about the murdered
car was that it was heading west on the road
to pake Us now Passo. I headed the same way,
stopping to ask questions at all the smaller towns, the cafes,
and service stations wherever a man on the run might
risk stopping. But all the answers were the same.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
New York car.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You say, no, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I only saw I went out of state all day
from Oklahoma.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
Well, thanks, any how many to sit down have some
coffee and pie?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Ranger, Oh no, thanks, I gotta find a fellow. No,
I sure remember it. If a New York car stopped
here for gas. Ain'teen one of the week. Well thanks,
(10:26):
uh ranger. Yeah, the kid runs the pumps a little
while I'm eating. Maybe he saw something. I call him out.
If you want to wait till I catch his fellas
win you I wait? Oh, but see I I just
remembered the kid didn't sell nothing today. Well thanks.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Anyhow, we've been working on the Royal Dation York. But
we don't know this nobody, I guess not.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
They detour passed you fifty yards away.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
The one who might see swan he holds the red
flag when the car is coming down there.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Boll He don't even to look up.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
He just hear the car and wave the flag.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
He too busy looking in the movie magazine at Betty Gravel.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Well thanks. By nightfall, I was just outside of Pacas.
I pulled into a grove near an auto quarter place
i'd stomped before. Let my horse, Charcoal get down from
(11:31):
the trailer. Barely got him unloaded when another Ranger car
pulled in. Yeah, Kurtz Hoti boy HOI what are you
doing down here? Got a teletype for from the headquarters.
Murdered man's name was Roger Bradley, New York City salesman
(11:52):
from airplane pods. Outfit identification positive, Yeah, pictures, laundry mark everything.
Police up there, trace the laundrymark. Bradley's wife identified the pictures.
Was married. Yeah, three kids. Car you're looking for as
a forty nine blue sedan. Here's the making license number.
Highway patrol hasn't spotted at any place. Nope. But here's
(12:14):
a list of all the clothes Bradley was scaring on
the trip. Pretty complete description. Can't understand why nobody's seen
that car. Killer might have gotten out of the state,
had a good start. I hope that isn't it, Kurtz.
Three kids have to grow up without their father because
of a gun crazy hitchhiker. I know what you mean.
Let's hope he's still in Texas. If he is, we're
(12:38):
gonna find him.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
In just a moment.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
We continue with Tales of the Texas Rangers, starring Joel
McCrae as Rangers Chase Pearson.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Next time you bounce out of bed in the morning,
Well you do bounce, don't you. Well, Okay, let's say
next time you get out of bed, head for the wheaties.
Sure enough, head for the wheaties at seven am, and
see how they help at eleven am. Yes, they can
make a difference at eleven and they can make a
(13:22):
difference at the breakfast table. It's likely to be a
pleasanter place with a bowlful of crisp, little old wheaties
next to your spoon and napkin. The reason is, of course,
the whole hearted, whole wheat taste of wheaties. You're getting.
All that sweet is a nut, whole wheat flavor in
every wheati's flake. Pour on the milk, put on the fruit,
(13:42):
and dig right in to one of the finest openings
then a morning ever had. And then see how much
finer the morning itself goes when you've started with breakfast
of champions. That full whole wheat really gives with vitality.
You know, there's a whole kernel of wheat and every
flake of wheaty's. I'll see if you don't notice the
(14:03):
difference all morning long, less of the mid morning slump,
more of the up and adam punch, you know what
I mean? All right, then you try it tomorrow next
day for a good breakfast, for a good morning, start
with wheaties. See yourself how wheaties at seven, can help
(14:25):
at eleven And now.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Back to Joel McCrae as Ranger jas Pearson in Tales
of the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
For the next five days, Ranger Kurtz and I worked
our way west, but we couldn't get a lead. Then,
on the afternoon of October tenth, six days after the killing,
we stopped and unloaded our horses at Eagle Flat in
Hudsforth County. Blacksmiths place is open. Yeah, horses can drink
from his trough. Hey, look at that folk leaning against
(15:05):
the fence there. They sure do get dutied up for Saturday.
In that legal flash. Yeah, chritz matter Jason. That suit?
No polk ordered that through a male catalog. It looks
like one of the suits described on the teletype. Yeah,
let's find out. Howdy, Well, how do you range it?
(15:31):
You live around here, work the Long.
Speaker 2 (15:33):

Speaker 9 (15:55):
Oh man, I just bought off. When a feller come
by the bunk house, when oh reckon it was about
five days ago.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
He'd drive up with a bunch of stuff. Drove up.
What kind of car? A new seed? Dan Blue noticed
the license plates on the car? No, no, what do
you think, Kurtz? He's seen I'm in or he is
imn Were you on the ranch October fourth? This is
the first time I've been off of it in two weeks.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I bought the suit.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
I'm telling you you buy anything else?
Speaker 9 (16:24):
Yeah, this, watch your hands. Wow, I'm just gonna show
you a wallet. The fellow threw in with a suit.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
All right, get it out, hey, y'all faded him ten
dollars for the suit and this identifications cards and everything's stripped.
You take anything out of here, want nothing to day?
Just like I got a zept for my five dollars
and the money. Parker killer took all identification out of
(16:51):
these celluloid cardholders. Might have left some prints. Ought to
get it to the lab. Yeah, all right, you better
come with us now.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Look, I didn't do nothing. Why are you taking me.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
To the sheriff. You can give us a description of
the man who sold you the duds. If your story
checks out clean, you've got nothing to worry about. Oh
it's clean, all right, let's go. We checked the Polk's
(17:22):
story at the Longbo Ranch. He was telling the truth,
all right. At least we had a description of the
man we were after. Now about twenty years old, dark,
five foot seven, about one hundred and forty pounds. Kurtz
and I unloaded our horses. Which way were riding Jase
Coboy head north into the hills road. Peter's art past
(17:43):
his ranch, though nothing but a trail. He might have
turned back to the highway. Alarm was out for the
time he passed here. If he went back to a
main highway, the car would have been spotted. He's ditched
it up here someplace. Oh, let's ride, get up there, charcoal.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
We rode north from the long Bow Ranch, cutting into
the mosquite seed of the flank. The road got thinner
and more difficult, and just when I thought we might
have come too far, we spotted the car. Reckon, that's it,
let's see. Uh huh. Smart rolled it into a gully
(18:37):
and then covered it with dirt and grass. Nobody had
ever spotted unless they were looking for it. Let's get
back and report it. Unit ten to kt XP, Unit
ten to kt XP, kt XP go ahead. Uniten Unit
(19:02):
ten located blue sedan registered to Roger Bradley, New York City.
Speaker 10 (19:06):
A unit kt XP just got report of fingerprints on
say Lloyd. Current holders of bullet sent in. One sent
definitely those of murder victim Roger Bradley. Another set identified
as being those of Lenny Tripper.
Speaker 4 (19:21):

Quanted by army for desertion three months ago. Description chicks

near Apache Peak.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Carr was found north of Long Bowl Ranch, Apache Peaks,
about ten miles further in. Will investigate Unit ten ten
to four. It was some down when we got started.
(20:01):
The country we had to go through is tough enough
by daylight. Was after midnight when we sighted a patchy peek.
There was still a light on in a cabin nested
down in the foothills. Wool boy, easy, keep kind of
laid hours up here, don't they too late? Better tie
the horses to that mesquite and slip up and look in. Yeah,
(20:25):
come on, boy. Chase something moving over there? See it
looks like a couple of burrows. Let's take a look
at him. You boys up past your bedtime? 't you
feel 'em? Both in us sweat all kicked up? Then
(20:46):
packing too, and the hairs matted down where they've been
cinched for they time to be working. Burrs here, Come on,
let's see the house. Looks through the window, then eaton?
Got our boy though too old? Must be Tripper's father. Look,
(21:09):
there's the old lady too. You go around the back
way and I'll go in through the front. Wait to
hear me, not get in right?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Open up?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Who's that Texas ranger?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
What do you want?
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Lendy Tripper?
Speaker 6 (21:35):
He here?
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Mind if I come in and make sure? Lend him in?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
No?
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Uh what?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Just another ranger at the back? Missus Tripper? You wanna
let him into? Go ahead, and don't mind if where
when he shooting? Do you now? I'll go right? Ahare
this year a regular meal time? Might he eat? Worn

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Nothing on?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Pack? Jase? Where's your boy? Mister Tripper? You're the ranger?
You find him? We ain't seen him in the year
since he joined the army. You haven't seen him in
the last three months either since he deserted from the army.
You heard what you said, get me smoop Moore. If
(22:21):
you want to help your boy, you better help us.
I don't help you. He's in Mexico. Didn't there more
than a month? Mexico? Huh? Thanks? Mind? If I uh
have one of those cigarettes, mister Tripper, yeah, never mind,
I reckon, you can buy you or I just got
(22:42):
a hankering for one of those. Can't always get a
cigarette like that? What do you mean, Ranger? A New
York tax stamp on the pack? Tripper? Those cigarettes were
stolen from a murdered man six days ago. What were
you doing with those burroughs outside? They've been packing right,
(23:02):
I was bringing some stuff down and been brush becking
up to peak band of silver mines up there? Jase,
is your son hiding out one of those mind Stripper?
Were you packing supplies to him? I told you what
I was doing. That boys wanted for murder, and if
you're smart, you'll take us to him and tell him
to surrender.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Do what they say, Paul, they were along. I didn't
know about the murder. He just said on he was
after him.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Come on, Kurtz, we better go up after him.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Oh, don't go ahead, go after him.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
He'll kill you.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Next what he'll do.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
He'll kill you. We had to go up on foot.
It was two treacherous for the horses, and trailing over
that rocky ground in the darkness slowed us to the
crawling speed of an overfed snake. There got to be
less earth and more rock, and the burrow tracks grew fainter.
(24:00):
We tried to pick 'em up by moonlight and flashlight. Uh,
it could have gone in any direction from here. Jase
can't pick up a mark. Seems to level off a
bit on that shelf ahead. Might be a narrow trail there.
Oh so getting steeper. Huh too steep for burrows kerts.
(24:21):
What dwarf folk here? Flashier light? Yeah, that's it, hold
it anything, Yeah, branch band, it's been brushed. Look here
been nibbled a bit too recent. Torn leaves are still fresh.
Well we're headed right then. Must have gone straight ahead
(24:41):
between those big rocks. Yeah, uh, this is it all right.
Look at the side of the rock like the mic
appealed off little fiber stuff bury pack ropes must have
scraped it. Let's keep going. Oh we finally reached the
(25:11):
summit where the Oaks and Cedar's fought for whatever Smike
gift their roots could get on the earth between the rocks.
Dawn found us on a high shelf, facing a rise
that led to the open mouth of an abandoned silver mine.
Tray leads straight enough. Now, yeah he's there, Chase, Yeah,
I'm but twenty feet back in. He could pick us
(25:32):
off and we never even get to see him. Stay
down and keep the whole covered. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 11 (25:38):
Just call him out, Tripper, Lannie, Tripper.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
He ain't gonna answer, Chase. You can't get out, Tripper,
Stay down, Jason. How he's got a rifle? Is what
is that? Thirty eight he killed Bradley with. You're gonna
come out, Tripper. If we'd only packed a stick of dynamite,
he'd come out soon enough. We'll be buried in there.
(26:05):
Maybe the idea of dynamite would be enough. Go over
down the shelf and let him see you just once
on the way, not long enough to draw a bead.
Maybe we can bluff him. Why don't you go Donald,
let me my idea. I'll stay go ahead.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
Be careful, jeez, you missed him, Tripper, you're not gonna
get another shot.
Speaker 12 (26:28):
He went down to our burs to get some dynamite.
We're gonna see you in there, Tripper, you better.
Speaker 9 (26:35):
Come out.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Kill me.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I won't if you do what I tell you.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Leave your rifle in there.
Speaker 12 (26:45):
Come out with your hands passed behind your head.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
All right, Tripper, now come out. He came out of
the shaft, slowly, first to blur, and then into the light,
with his hands behind his head. I got up and
(27:15):
he walked toward me. He wasn't wearing a gun belt,
but there was something in the way he moved that
made me keep my hands close to my holsters. Then
he made a quick side step and his hands came
from behind his head, and I caught the glend of
a thirty eight. I'm all right, gun handed arm put
(27:37):
a tourniquet on him. He'll take it down. What's the
matter with you, Jase? Look kind of funny just thinking
of his folks down there, his mother and even the
old man, just trying to help him because he belongs
to them in spite of everything he's done. Folks are
like that. We gotta bring him in and break their hearts. Yeah,
(27:57):
makes you wonder why I ever wanted to wear bad
until you remember the man he killed and three kids
who have to go up without him. That makes you
know you couldn't ever want to do anything but wear
a badge. There's a that'll hold him all right, Tripper
on your feet, let's go.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
A ballistic check of the thirty eight that Lenny Tripper
carried showed it to be the murder weapon used in
the slaying of Roger Bradley. With that and other evidence
accumulated by a range of Pearson and the Department, Tripper
was convicted and sentenced to death in the electric chair.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Well, Joe, you did a fine job of clearing up
that case. I've got a little mystery at home. Maybe
you can help me try Joel. Well, it's the case
of the disappearing wheaties. Every once in a while, when
I'm all set for a breakfast bowl of wheaties, my
cook says, sorry, we're fresh out. Why that's no mystery.
Wheedies are so good, so crisp, so loaded with natural
(29:17):
Sonny Hole week flavor. They're just doing last long. I know,
But what can I do? Well, you can get up
early before anyone else gets at the wheaties or buy
two or three bunss at a time. I think you
hit it, Frank, anything good it item. Thank you Joel McCrae.
Speaker 1 (29:34):

case from the files of.

Tonight as special guest Wheaties Champion Robert Feller. Oh, by golly,
it's always fun the meat of Wheaties champion, especially when
he's as nice a guy as Bob Feller, the Cleveland Indian. Hello, Bob,
I ed, Are you seeing many baseball games these days? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You bad?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Robert? You eating many wheaties these days? What a question?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Well, I've been eating Wheene's for breakfast almost every morning
for pretty close to twenty.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Years and still going strong. Whitties are money, tough to
get tired of. I guess wheenies and milk and fruit
will still be my favorite breakfast when I'm too old
to climb out of the dugout. Now that won't be
happening for a lot of years yet. Thanks for stopping in.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Bob Feller, a real Wheaty's champ.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
You know, gentlemen of the audience, this man Feller has
a wife and youngsters, even as you and I. His
paycheck depends in part on healthy energy, just as ours does.
You got my point? We need him too. Wheaties Breakfast
of Champions, get yours And.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Now back to our story with Joel McCrae as Ranger Pearson.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
The body was discovered at eight fifteen in the morning
of October fourth, when the fence ride up from the
ranch bordering the highway found it in the brush.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
At the side of the road.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
He reported the discovery to the nearest sh Erraff and
the sheriff relaid the report to the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Ranger Jase Pearson was assigned to the case. There's the
body of Jace under that sheet. Where was he found?
The sheriff about eleven mile east. Must have been dumped
out of a car and shot three times, one through
(05:24):
the neck and two through the chest. Thirty eight colar Yeah,
corner got two of the slugs. Any identification on him
or anything? Jace? Whoever done it even stole the clothes
off him, stepping his shirt and shorts the necktime, and
a pack of cigarettes from his shirt. Punky, it's all
(05:45):
there on the table, Hm, Andre mark on the shirt.
That might help Corners say how long he's been dead? Oh,
since four or five o'clock this morning? Hum? These cigarettes
were they on him? Yeah? Why may help any maybe
(06:07):
a whole lot? Look at this New York state tax stamp.
Can you make something out of there? Only the one
pack of cigarettes wouldn't have lasted him from New York
to Texas. Probably bought a cartner to start out on
the trip, so his home might be in New York.
I'm reckon an awful lot of folks to buy a
cottoner smokes in New York. Case, Yeah, but it's a
(06:27):
place to start. Checking that laundry mark on the shirt.
It will be a help we know who this man is.
I'll send these things into the lab and they can
send a wire photo of the mark to New York.
The corner has some pictures of the body. I'll put
them on the wire too. You got a deputy to
get the stuff to my headquarter, sure thing. I'll call
him good and we can get out and check the scene.
(07:04):
Had this little piece of road here blocked off some
who cars could wipe out anything good? Eh, body was
found right in here, Yeah, ragged in from the road.
Back of the heels scraped along. Their clothing caught on
the mesquite here. And what''re picking off there? A little
(07:25):
fibers of cloth snagged on here. A lat men get
through with these and may be able to tell us
what kind of duds they came from. Let's take a
look at the road, fresh headed tire tracks here on
the shoulder. Jans, Yeah, I noticed him. Impressions deeper here
(07:45):
that's where they stopped. Look at the marks around it.
Body was dragged out of the driver's side. That makes
a difference. Means the dead man must have been driving,
so it was a good chance it was his own car.
I reckon it is, But how about the other villa?
Could be the same old story, Sheriff, a hitchhiker. Man
(08:09):
have to be a fool and take a hitchhiker through
this country, didn't I? Yeah, a fool. The trouble with
fools is most of them are nice people. They don't
rate being killed. I'm gonna play a hunch, make some
work for the Highway Patrol. Captain Stimpson's out on investigation.
I may be able to reach him in his car.
(08:32):
Unit ten, the Unit three, Unit ten, the Unit three,
Unit three, the Unit ten Go ahead. Unit ten requests
all points bullet and alerting Highway Patrol and Ranger units
to stop and check all cars carrying New York state plates.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Exhibit you sent over and arrived Unit ten. You know,
just going on that cigarette tax stamp? Are you no?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Captain murder scene check indicates victim was driving car he
would stumped from, might have been his own.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
We're trying guess.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
How soon can we expect report from New York police
on laundry.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Mark That don't take time, Unit ten, We'll keep you informed.
I have reports on exhibits in a few hours.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
We'll keep Unit three informed if I move from this location,
Unit ten, ten to four. After the ten fourth sign off,
I took the sheriff back to his office, and that's
(09:35):
when the hardest part of all hunting began, the waiting.
The only thing we knew for certain about the murdered
car was that it was heading west on the road
to pake Us now Passo. I headed the same way,
stopping to ask questions at all the smaller towns, the cafes,
and service stations wherever a man on the run might
risk stopping. But all the answers were the same.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
New York car.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You say, no, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I only saw I went out of state all day
from Oklahoma.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
Well, thanks, any how many to sit down have some
coffee and pie?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Ranger, Oh no, thanks, I gotta find a fellow. No,
I sure remember it. If a New York car stopped
here for gas. Ain'teen one of the week. Well thanks,
(10:26):
uh ranger. Yeah, the kid runs the pumps a little
while I'm eating. Maybe he saw something. I call him out.
If you want to wait till I catch his fellas
win you I wait? Oh, but see I I just
remembered the kid didn't sell nothing today. Well thanks.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Anyhow, we've been working on the Royal Dation York. But
we don't know this nobody, I guess not.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
They detour passed you fifty yards away.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
The one who might see swan he holds the red
flag when the car is coming down there.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Boll He don't even to look up.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
He just hear the car and wave the flag.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
He too busy looking in the movie magazine at Betty Gravel.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Well thanks. By nightfall, I was just outside of Pacas.
I pulled into a grove near an auto quarter place
i'd stomped before. Let my horse, Charcoal get down from
(11:31):
the trailer. Barely got him unloaded when another Ranger car
pulled in. Yeah, Kurtz Hoti boy HOI what are you
doing down here? Got a teletype for from the headquarters.
Murdered man's name was Roger Bradley, New York City salesman
(11:52):
from airplane pods. Outfit identification positive, Yeah, pictures, laundry mark everything.
Police up there, trace the laundrymark. Bradley's wife identified the pictures.
Was married. Yeah, three kids. Car you're looking for as
a forty nine blue sedan. Here's the making license number.
Highway patrol hasn't spotted at any place. Nope. But here's
(12:14):
a list of all the clothes Bradley was scaring on
the trip. Pretty complete description. Can't understand why nobody's seen
that car. Killer might have gotten out of the state,
had a good start. I hope that isn't it, Kurtz.
Three kids have to grow up without their father because
of a gun crazy hitchhiker. I know what you mean.
Let's hope he's still in Texas. If he is, we're
(12:38):
gonna find him.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
In just a moment.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
We continue with Tales of the Texas Rangers, starring Joel
McCrae as Rangers Chase Pearson.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Next time you bounce out of bed in the morning,
Well you do bounce, don't you. Well, Okay, let's say
next time you get out of bed, head for the wheaties.
Sure enough, head for the wheaties at seven am, and
see how they help at eleven am. Yes, they can
make a difference at eleven and they can make a
(13:22):
difference at the breakfast table. It's likely to be a
pleasanter place with a bowlful of crisp, little old wheaties
next to your spoon and napkin. The reason is, of course,
the whole hearted, whole wheat taste of wheaties. You're getting.
All that sweet is a nut, whole wheat flavor in
every wheati's flake. Pour on the milk, put on the fruit,
(13:42):
and dig right in to one of the finest openings
then a morning ever had. And then see how much
finer the morning itself goes when you've started with breakfast
of champions. That full whole wheat really gives with vitality.
You know, there's a whole kernel of wheat and every
flake of wheaty's. I'll see if you don't notice the
(14:03):
difference all morning long, less of the mid morning slump,
more of the up and adam punch, you know what
I mean? All right, then you try it tomorrow next
day for a good breakfast, for a good morning, start
with wheaties. See yourself how wheaties at seven, can help
(14:25):
at eleven And now.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Back to Joel McCrae as Ranger jas Pearson in Tales
of the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
For the next five days, Ranger Kurtz and I worked
our way west, but we couldn't get a lead. Then,
on the afternoon of October tenth, six days after the killing,
we stopped and unloaded our horses at Eagle Flat in
Hudsforth County. Blacksmiths place is open. Yeah, horses can drink
from his trough. Hey, look at that folk leaning against
(15:05):
the fence there. They sure do get dutied up for Saturday.
In that legal flash. Yeah, chritz matter Jason. That suit?
No polk ordered that through a male catalog. It looks
like one of the suits described on the teletype. Yeah,
let's find out. Howdy, Well, how do you range it?
(15:31):
You live around here, work the Long.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Bowl ranch up near Tabernacle Mountain.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Fday. Nice suit you got there, kind of fancy. Yeah,
ain'ted the thing from New York label, says New York.
Huh what'd you get that suit? Well?
Speaker 2 (15:47):

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Now wait a minute, range with this ain't stolen, is it? Yeah?
The man who was stolen from his dead.
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Oh man, I just bought off. When a feller come
by the bunk house, when oh reckon it was about
five days ago.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
He'd drive up with a bunch of stuff. Drove up.
What kind of car? A new seed? Dan Blue noticed
the license plates on the car? No, no, what do
you think, Kurtz? He's seen I'm in or he is
imn Were you on the ranch October fourth? This is
the first time I've been off of it in two weeks.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I bought the suit.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
I'm telling you you buy anything else?
Speaker 9 (16:24):
Yeah, this, watch your hands. Wow, I'm just gonna show
you a wallet. The fellow threw in with a suit.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
All right, get it out, hey, y'all faded him ten
dollars for the suit and this identifications cards and everything's stripped.
You take anything out of here, want nothing to day?
Just like I got a zept for my five dollars
and the money. Parker killer took all identification out of
(16:51):
these celluloid cardholders. Might have left some prints. Ought to
get it to the lab. Yeah, all right, you better
come with us now.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Look, I didn't do nothing. Why are you taking me.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
To the sheriff. You can give us a description of
the man who sold you the duds. If your story
checks out clean, you've got nothing to worry about. Oh
it's clean, all right, let's go. We checked the Polk's
(17:22):
story at the Longbo Ranch. He was telling the truth,
all right. At least we had a description of the
man we were after. Now about twenty years old, dark,
five foot seven, about one hundred and forty pounds. Kurtz
and I unloaded our horses. Which way were riding Jase
Coboy head north into the hills road. Peter's art past
(17:43):
his ranch, though nothing but a trail. He might have
turned back to the highway. Alarm was out for the
time he passed here. If he went back to a
main highway, the car would have been spotted. He's ditched
it up here someplace. Oh, let's ride, get up there, charcoal.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
We rode north from the long Bow Ranch, cutting into
the mosquite seed of the flank. The road got thinner
and more difficult, and just when I thought we might
have come too far, we spotted the car. Reckon, that's it,
let's see. Uh huh. Smart rolled it into a gully
(18:37):
and then covered it with dirt and grass. Nobody had
ever spotted unless they were looking for it. Let's get
back and report it. Unit ten to kt XP, Unit
ten to kt XP, kt XP go ahead. Uniten Unit
(19:02):
ten located blue sedan registered to Roger Bradley, New York City.
Speaker 10 (19:06):
A unit kt XP just got report of fingerprints on
say Lloyd. Current holders of bullet sent in. One sent
definitely those of murder victim Roger Bradley. Another set identified
as being those of Lenny Tripper.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Please repeat Lenny Tripper, Lenny Tripper, any line on him.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
Quanted by army for desertion three months ago. Description chicks
last known address lived with father and mother in Kevin,
near Apache Peak.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Carr was found north of Long Bowl Ranch, Apache Peaks,
about ten miles further in. Will investigate Unit ten ten
to four. It was some down when we got started.
(20:01):
The country we had to go through is tough enough
by daylight. Was after midnight when we sighted a patchy peek.
There was still a light on in a cabin nested
down in the foothills. Wool boy, easy, keep kind of
laid hours up here, don't they too late? Better tie
the horses to that mesquite and slip up and look in. Yeah,
(20:25):
come on, boy. Chase something moving over there? See it
looks like a couple of burrows. Let's take a look
at him. You boys up past your bedtime? 't you
feel 'em? Both in us sweat all kicked up? Then
(20:46):
packing too, and the hairs matted down where they've been
cinched for they time to be working. Burrs here, Come on,
let's see the house. Looks through the window, then eaton?
Got our boy though too old? Must be Tripper's father. Look,
(21:09):
there's the old lady too. You go around the back
way and I'll go in through the front. Wait to
hear me, not get in right?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Open up?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Who's that Texas ranger?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
What do you want?
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Lendy Tripper?
Speaker 6 (21:35):
He here?
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Mind if I come in and make sure? Lend him in?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
No?
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Uh what?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Just another ranger at the back? Missus Tripper? You wanna
let him into? Go ahead, and don't mind if where
when he shooting? Do you now? I'll go right? Ahare
this year a regular meal time? Might he eat? Worn
and water?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Nothing on?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Pack? Jase? Where's your boy? Mister Tripper? You're the ranger?
You find him? We ain't seen him in the year
since he joined the army. You haven't seen him in
the last three months either since he deserted from the army.
You heard what you said, get me smoop Moore. If
(22:21):
you want to help your boy, you better help us.
I don't help you. He's in Mexico. Didn't there more
than a month? Mexico? Huh? Thanks? Mind? If I uh
have one of those cigarettes, mister Tripper, yeah, never mind,
I reckon, you can buy you or I just got
(22:42):
a hankering for one of those. Can't always get a
cigarette like that? What do you mean, Ranger? A New
York tax stamp on the pack? Tripper? Those cigarettes were
stolen from a murdered man six days ago. What were
you doing with those burroughs outside? They've been packing right,
(23:02):
I was bringing some stuff down and been brush becking
up to peak band of silver mines up there? Jase,
is your son hiding out one of those mind Stripper?
Were you packing supplies to him? I told you what
I was doing. That boys wanted for murder, and if
you're smart, you'll take us to him and tell him
to surrender.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Do what they say, Paul, they were along. I didn't
know about the murder. He just said on he was
after him.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Come on, Kurtz, we better go up after him.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Oh, don't go ahead, go after him.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
He'll kill you.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Next what he'll do.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
He'll kill you. We had to go up on foot.
It was two treacherous for the horses, and trailing over
that rocky ground in the darkness slowed us to the
crawling speed of an overfed snake. There got to be
less earth and more rock, and the burrow tracks grew fainter.
(24:00):
We tried to pick 'em up by moonlight and flashlight. Uh,
it could have gone in any direction from here. Jase
can't pick up a mark. Seems to level off a
bit on that shelf ahead. Might be a narrow trail there.
Oh so getting steeper. Huh too steep for burrows kerts.
(24:21):
What dwarf folk here? Flashier light? Yeah, that's it, hold
it anything, Yeah, branch band, it's been brushed. Look here
been nibbled a bit too recent. Torn leaves are still fresh.
Well we're headed right then. Must have gone straight ahead
(24:41):
between those big rocks. Yeah, uh, this is it all right.
Look at the side of the rock like the mic
appealed off little fiber stuff bury pack ropes must have
scraped it. Let's keep going. Oh we finally reached the
(25:11):
summit where the Oaks and Cedar's fought for whatever Smike
gift their roots could get on the earth between the rocks.
Dawn found us on a high shelf, facing a rise
that led to the open mouth of an abandoned silver mine.
Tray leads straight enough. Now, yeah he's there, Chase, Yeah,
I'm but twenty feet back in. He could pick us
(25:32):
off and we never even get to see him. Stay
down and keep the whole covered. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 11 (25:38):
Just call him out, Tripper, Lannie, Tripper.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
He ain't gonna answer, Chase. You can't get out, Tripper,
Stay down, Jason. How he's got a rifle? Is what
is that? Thirty eight he killed Bradley with. You're gonna
come out, Tripper. If we'd only packed a stick of dynamite,
he'd come out soon enough. We'll be buried in there.
(26:05):
Maybe the idea of dynamite would be enough. Go over
down the shelf and let him see you just once
on the way, not long enough to draw a bead.
Maybe we can bluff him. Why don't you go Donald,
let me my idea. I'll stay go ahead.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
Be careful, jeez, you missed him, Tripper, you're not gonna
get another shot.
Speaker 12 (26:28):
He went down to our burs to get some dynamite.
We're gonna see you in there, Tripper, you better.
Speaker 9 (26:35):
Come out.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Kill me.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I won't if you do what I tell you.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Leave your rifle in there.
Speaker 12 (26:45):
Come out with your hands passed behind your head.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
All right, Tripper, now come out. He came out of
the shaft, slowly, first to blur, and then into the light,
with his hands behind his head. I got up and
(27:15):
he walked toward me. He wasn't wearing a gun belt,
but there was something in the way he moved that
made me keep my hands close to my holsters. Then
he made a quick side step and his hands came
from behind his head, and I caught the glend of
a thirty eight. I'm all right, gun handed arm put
(27:37):
a tourniquet on him. He'll take it down. What's the
matter with you, Jase? Look kind of funny just thinking
of his folks down there, his mother and even the
old man, just trying to help him because he belongs
to them in spite of everything he's done. Folks are
like that. We gotta bring him in and break their hearts. Yeah,
(27:57):
makes you wonder why I ever wanted to wear bad
until you remember the man he killed and three kids
who have to go up without him. That makes you
know you couldn't ever want to do anything but wear
a badge. There's a that'll hold him all right, Tripper
on your feet, let's go.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
A ballistic check of the thirty eight that Lenny Tripper
carried showed it to be the murder weapon used in
the slaying of Roger Bradley. With that and other evidence
accumulated by a range of Pearson and the Department, Tripper
was convicted and sentenced to death in the electric chair.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Well, Joe, you did a fine job of clearing up
that case. I've got a little mystery at home. Maybe
you can help me try Joel. Well, it's the case
of the disappearing wheaties. Every once in a while, when
I'm all set for a breakfast bowl of wheaties, my
cook says, sorry, we're fresh out. Why that's no mystery.
Wheedies are so good, so crisp, so loaded with natural
(29:17):
Sonny Hole week flavor. They're just doing last long. I know,
But what can I do? Well, you can get up
early before anyone else gets at the wheaties or buy
two or three bunss at a time. I think you
hit it, Frank, anything good it item. Thank you Joel McCrae.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Next week Joel McCrae and another authentic reenactment of the
case from the files of.
