Now from the files of the Texas Rangers, the.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Case called Blood Trail.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It is seven thirty on a Saturday evening in July
nineteen twenty nine. For a week, an oppressive blanket of
heat and dust has surrounded the town of Whitney and
the Texas Penhandle. Despite the unpleasant weather, however, Whitney is
enjoying its usual Saturday night activity as Sheriff Dave Fellows
strolls down Main Street.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Red, you're a stubborn as a mule.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Oh, hotey, her hoty, Harry, you have in trouble. Don't
get a little argument? Is read another one? Please? Yes,
plumb stubborn won't admit nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well, what won't he admit this time? What's like this?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I've been living here Whitney forty years now, around the
Panhandle all the life.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I say this is a hot hule. Eye seems talk too,
and Red says different.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Huh, red seeds the heart the summer of eighteen, I say, eighteen,
walk nears hat and what do you change her? Hi, Harry,
you know linach a practice never take inside in an argument.
But if you want the facts, well, I just come
from my office. Weather report on my desk says it's
the hottest July and sixty five years. And I know it.
(03:12):
I've known it.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Eh.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I sure wish I was wrong though. If this heat
don't let up, I'm gonna be a poor man. It
looked like nobody's gonna make a crop. Yeah, everybody seems
to be worried. I can't remember when we headshit you Hey,
who's that over there?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Sir? Where poor younger coming toward the drug store? Oh
looks like I'm drunk. I better get on over there.
He sure got a snoop fool.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Hey, sure I think that old dot commas k Thomas. Yeah,
you're right, main't I get know Doc as a drinking man?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Say he got office har till seven on Saturds.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Better help me get him off the street. People are
starting to look at him. I'm sure who the thought
of old Doc? And sure if he's walking out the street,
you'll get here him.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Down down, look out.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
On.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Hurry, maybe not the car.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Just save.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah, yeah, help him, help, he's hurt, mad something. Hey,
one of you folks called doctor peels and tell him
to hurry. Give me a handry, get him up on
the side, dalk him out of here.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Reckon. This was the first time he ever took a drink.
This had that happened? All right, folks, back, will give
us some ruin here.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'm just sett him right down here, Harry that blood.
I didn't think that car hid him that hard.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
It didn't.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Look at his shirt, it's soaked. He's been bleeding a
long time. I mean when he was staggering down the street,
he was already hurt.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
There's that way from the look of it. Somebody gave
the dog an awful whack on the head. But who
wanted to do that to hold Doc Thomas?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I don't know, but I'm afraid we're not gonna find
out from him. Doc Thomas is dead.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
It was easy for the sheriff to trace doctor Thomas's
path before he was hit by the car. Drops of
blood on the sidewalk led directly to the doctor's office
on a side street four blocks from the scene of
his death, the sheriff called for a Texas Ranger. Ranger
jas Pearson was a sign joining the sheriff outside the
doctor's office at five o'clock Sunday morning. All right, I
(05:28):
couldn't get here sooner. Sarah Austin told me you were
the nearest ranger, Jase that they said you were quite
a piece away. Yeah, whichita falls?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I reckon.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
You'd like to take a look at his office first.
This is the waiting room. Not much to see here.
It's the office that will give you a shock. You
know what the actual cause of death was, Yeah, loss
of blood, had a skull factor too. Haven't found what
he was hit with though. Look at that, James, Well
(05:58):
some mess, not a st a furniture left in one piece.
Look out what I broken glass? Never would have thought
old Doc Thomas could put up such a fight. Didn't
he ever have a nurse here with him? No? I
figure he couldn't afford it. Treated everybody rich or poor,
the doc did, and didn't mind waiting to be paid.
Did he have any money on him.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
When he died?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Oh, I don't believe it was robbery, Jase. He had
about fifteen bucks in his pocket. Phones ripped out. Looks
like he was trying to call somebody.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Maybe not. Could have been tore out during the fight.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
And I don't think so. Cords out of the way
of any furniture that got pushed over, and look at
the way the wires are torn. I'd say somebody meant
to pull him out of the wall.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
One thing I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
If the fellow that had this fight with Doc wasn't
after money, he probably meant to kill it sounds likely enough.
Oh then why didn't he The way the Doc was
weaving when I saw him, it would have been a
cinch for the killer to catch him for.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
He ever got the mainstream.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I think this will answer your question, Sheriff.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's part of dried blood.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
But how Jase, there's blood stops all.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Over the office and some in the waiting room.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Note as large as this From the size of it,
he must have been lying here at least a few minutes.
Could be got knocked unconscious. Killer thought he'd finished his
job and took off, And you figured the Doc came too,
got up and staggered downtown. H Yeah, the fight must
have made quite a rack at any of the neighbors.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Hear anything.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I checked that people on both sides were out downtown
for the evening. You looking for something special, Jays, Yeah,
and I've got it. Doc's appointment book only one appointment
after five o'clock six point thirty. Carl Henkle, you know,
I'm sure sure German fella lived here about ten years,
(07:43):
I guess he. Hey, wait a minute, I think we're
on to something, Jay, how do you mean Carl Hinkle's wife,
the Doc, delivered her baby about six weeks ago. Missus
Hinkle died right after the baby was born. I've heard
around time that Carl blamed the doc for her dying.
I see where does Ankle live? Not far from here,
over near the Santa Fe Popo. Come on, Sheriff, let's

shot twice through the chest at close. Range look at
the potter. Burns let's turned him. Over, well we can
be sure of one, Thing. Sheriff he didn't kill. Himself
how do you figure? That no blood on the, ground
so he wasn't shot. Here whoever did it carried him out?
(18:07):
Here after he was. Dead i'm sure he went to
a lot of, trouble probably figured it was worth. It
almost was Too see what you can find in his?
Pocket all?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Right?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Wallet a little bit of money, Either, Hey, jase look
at this box of. Pills Reckon tim was ailing after?
All could be, yeah but Jim ford Said tim hadn't been.
Sick Jim ford could have been. Wrong so since there's
a tie between this murder And Doc thomas getting, killed
(18:39):
if we find out what kind of Nailment tim, had
we might get a.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Lead but how do you figure to do.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
That tim ain't gonna do any talking, Now maybe he, will.
Sheriff what's on your? Mind? Autopsy let's get. Moving we
got a lot to. Do we Got Tim hornet's body
and with it one that afternoon and requested The County
Medical examiner to make a rush Autopsya he told us
to wait in the pathology lap of the. Hospital Litt
(19:07):
less than an hour, later he joined, Us, god, gentlemen must,
Say i've never done such a quick. Job i'm, sorry,
doctor but it's. NECESSARY i dare say it is if
it helps find out who Killed Old John.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Thomas i'll do. Anything could you find Out doc careful.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Here IF i don't want to break this, SLIDE i
won't have made a preliminary. Examination But i'll tell you
one thing. Definitely what's that? Him owner died Sometime saturday,
night probably before. Midnight why that'd be only a few
hours After Doc thomas. Died anything, Else, Doctor, Yeah tim
was a pretty sick boy even before he.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Died what was wrong with?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Him, Doc i'm going to tell you in a. Minute
SINCE i examined this slide under the, microscope he got
an idea of what there, Was doc h on this
slide is a section of the dead man's spleen was
very badly. Diseased could mean any number of, things AND
i get it set. Here, yep, YES i thought to.
(20:02):
THAT i wanted to be sure you know what it
was now it was, amtracks, Amtracks but that's a cattle
disease also found in man contracted from six stock from contaminated.
Ground does that help your? Anger maybe it might just
clear up our whole. CASE i don't follow, You, Jesse
i'll explain on the. Way, thanks, Doctor you're.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Welcome.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Jase where are we going out To Jim ford's? Ranch Jim,
ford do you think he's the man where. After look
at it this, Way. Sheriff If Tim horner had, amtracks
chances he got it.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
From sick, cattle maybe from burying him at the place
where he.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Worked you Mean Jim ford's cattle are sick with antracks
and take long to find, out BUT i think they.
Are say that could explain Why jim was so anxious
to sell out all of a sudden right and why
he couldn't let anybody discover his stock was. Sick otherwise
it have to be destroyed and he lose. Everything so
the way you figured, It tim knew the cattle had,
(20:57):
amtraks but he didn't know he Had he Saw Doc,
thomas and Once doc knew there was anthrax, around he
was bound to report. It, well how Would jim find
out about that could be picked? Up tim at The
doc's office found out he had. Anthrax, yeah and that
might be why he had to kill both The doc
And tim.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
To keep him.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Quiet something like. That NOW i understand why you're pushing
that accelerator so. Hard jim would be anxious to get
his money for the property as soon as possible and
then beat him if he hasn't already suppose he is.
Gone let's find out. First, Yeah jim's Old, gilop he ain't.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Here it could be a good.
Speaker 4 (21:41):

barrel AND i doubt if he'd try to make a
getaway in that. Thing maybe he's in town or somewhere
closing the deal for the. Ranch take long to be.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Case called Blood Trail.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It is seven thirty on a Saturday evening in July
nineteen twenty nine. For a week, an oppressive blanket of
heat and dust has surrounded the town of Whitney and
the Texas Penhandle. Despite the unpleasant weather, however, Whitney is
enjoying its usual Saturday night activity as Sheriff Dave Fellows
strolls down Main Street.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Red, you're a stubborn as a mule.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Oh, hotey, her hoty, Harry, you have in trouble. Don't
get a little argument? Is read another one? Please? Yes,
plumb stubborn won't admit nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well, what won't he admit this time? What's like this?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I've been living here Whitney forty years now, around the
Panhandle all the life.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I say this is a hot hule. Eye seems talk too,
and Red says different.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Huh, red seeds the heart the summer of eighteen, I say, eighteen,
walk nears hat and what do you change her? Hi, Harry,
you know linach a practice never take inside in an argument.
But if you want the facts, well, I just come
from my office. Weather report on my desk says it's
the hottest July and sixty five years. And I know it.
(03:12):
I've known it.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Eh.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I sure wish I was wrong though. If this heat
don't let up, I'm gonna be a poor man. It
looked like nobody's gonna make a crop. Yeah, everybody seems
to be worried. I can't remember when we headshit you Hey,
who's that over there?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Sir? Where poor younger coming toward the drug store? Oh
looks like I'm drunk. I better get on over there.
He sure got a snoop fool.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Hey, sure I think that old dot commas k Thomas. Yeah,
you're right, main't I get know Doc as a drinking man?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Say he got office har till seven on Saturds.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Better help me get him off the street. People are
starting to look at him. I'm sure who the thought
of old Doc? And sure if he's walking out the street,
you'll get here him.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Down down, look out.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
On.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Hurry, maybe not the car.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Just save.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah, yeah, help him, help, he's hurt, mad something. Hey,
one of you folks called doctor peels and tell him
to hurry. Give me a handry, get him up on
the side, dalk him out of here.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Reckon. This was the first time he ever took a drink.
This had that happened? All right, folks, back, will give
us some ruin here.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'm just sett him right down here, Harry that blood.
I didn't think that car hid him that hard.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
It didn't.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Look at his shirt, it's soaked. He's been bleeding a
long time. I mean when he was staggering down the street,
he was already hurt.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
There's that way from the look of it. Somebody gave
the dog an awful whack on the head. But who
wanted to do that to hold Doc Thomas?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I don't know, but I'm afraid we're not gonna find
out from him. Doc Thomas is dead.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
It was easy for the sheriff to trace doctor Thomas's
path before he was hit by the car. Drops of
blood on the sidewalk led directly to the doctor's office
on a side street four blocks from the scene of
his death, the sheriff called for a Texas Ranger. Ranger
jas Pearson was a sign joining the sheriff outside the
doctor's office at five o'clock Sunday morning. All right, I
(05:28):
couldn't get here sooner. Sarah Austin told me you were
the nearest ranger, Jase that they said you were quite
a piece away. Yeah, whichita falls?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I reckon.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
You'd like to take a look at his office first.
This is the waiting room. Not much to see here.
It's the office that will give you a shock. You
know what the actual cause of death was, Yeah, loss
of blood, had a skull factor too. Haven't found what
he was hit with though. Look at that, James, Well
(05:58):
some mess, not a st a furniture left in one piece.
Look out what I broken glass? Never would have thought
old Doc Thomas could put up such a fight. Didn't
he ever have a nurse here with him? No? I
figure he couldn't afford it. Treated everybody rich or poor,
the doc did, and didn't mind waiting to be paid.
Did he have any money on him.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
When he died?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Oh, I don't believe it was robbery, Jase. He had
about fifteen bucks in his pocket. Phones ripped out. Looks
like he was trying to call somebody.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Maybe not. Could have been tore out during the fight.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
And I don't think so. Cords out of the way
of any furniture that got pushed over, and look at
the way the wires are torn. I'd say somebody meant
to pull him out of the wall.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
One thing I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
If the fellow that had this fight with Doc wasn't
after money, he probably meant to kill it sounds likely enough.
Oh then why didn't he The way the Doc was
weaving when I saw him, it would have been a
cinch for the killer to catch him for.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
He ever got the mainstream.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I think this will answer your question, Sheriff.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's part of dried blood.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
But how Jase, there's blood stops all.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Over the office and some in the waiting room.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Note as large as this From the size of it,
he must have been lying here at least a few minutes.
Could be got knocked unconscious. Killer thought he'd finished his
job and took off, And you figured the Doc came too,
got up and staggered downtown. H Yeah, the fight must
have made quite a rack at any of the neighbors.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Hear anything.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I checked that people on both sides were out downtown
for the evening. You looking for something special, Jays, Yeah,
and I've got it. Doc's appointment book only one appointment
after five o'clock six point thirty. Carl Henkle, you know,
I'm sure sure German fella lived here about ten years,
(07:43):
I guess he. Hey, wait a minute, I think we're
on to something, Jay, how do you mean Carl Hinkle's wife,
the Doc, delivered her baby about six weeks ago. Missus
Hinkle died right after the baby was born. I've heard
around time that Carl blamed the doc for her dying.
I see where does Ankle live? Not far from here,
over near the Santa Fe Popo. Come on, Sheriff, let's
(08:05):
wake him up and have a talk with him. It
