There you are in the kitchen. Say do you want

Enjoy Chesterfields better taste than mildness. You see, Chesterfield packs
more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed. A more perfectly
packed cigarette gives you an open, easy draw that unlocks
(14:10):
all the better taste and mildness of fine tobaccos. And Chesterfield,
made by Exclusive Vacuae, is more perfectly packed, with an
even distribution of tobacco from one end of your Chesterfield
to the other. Firm and pleasing to the lips. Mild
yet deeply satisfying. Remember to the touch, to the taste.

She must be inside the hot chester I hope she.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Don't come charging out of there that shot gunna bleed.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It would be a bad way to start the day,
wasn't it? Again?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Thinking none worse, especially in the empty stomach.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
H Now that she is now wait a minute, that's sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
She isn't armed, not over here, Marshall.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
No, what's she up to?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
And it's hard to say with a woman like that.
I thought you'd be back this morning, yes, and I
told you we wouldn't. We're gonna take your husband on
the dodge, ma'am.
Speaker 9 (15:52):
You're too late, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Too late.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
He died during the night. What there's too much for
his heart? He always did have a weak heart.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Where is he, Flory?
Speaker 9 (16:07):
Lying there inside? Marshall? Why don't you believe me?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I believe you, But I want to have a look
at him.
Speaker 9 (16:11):
What for? I got him all wrapped up in his
blanket ready for burying. You go dig it grave for
him if you want to help so much?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
All right, we'll dig a grave after I've seen him.
Speaker 9 (16:22):
You got no respect for the dead, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's the leaven that bothers me. Right now, Flory, I'm
gonna have a look at.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
Him now for it you're no better than a Kyle Marshall.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
You don't have to watch.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Oh, go ahead, I don't care, coll.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
And button his shirt here? All right? What did you
use for him? Use for what I might have known?
He couldn't stay away forever? He fell asleep, and you
(17:14):
stabbed him in the heart with a needle or something
that doesn't show much, does it?
Speaker 9 (17:20):
All right?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
Don't matter now anyway. I killed him.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Why would you want to kill your husband? Flurry husband?
Speaker 6 (17:27):
He wasn't my husband. He killed my husband, Marshall.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
We never seen him before he rode by here and
started trouble over me. It was my husband pulled a knife,
but but he shot him, and I swore i'd kill
him port and I did.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Why didn't you explain all this to Doc Adams when
he was out here, or to me last night.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
And let you take him and hang him. I had
to kill him myself, Marshall. It's a promise I made
my husband while he was dying.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And I'm gonna have to arrest you.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
You can't do nothing to me for this.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You murdered a man, Florie.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
You're wrong, Marshall.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You just admitted it.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
Well, I doing no more talking. You take care of
him and we'll go into dodge. But I won't be
in jail long.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
You will see.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Him morning, Chester.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
What was she doing?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
What's got there as a male?
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
You pick it up? Y?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I picked it up. I was down there anyway. How's Flori?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
She's in a word, Go get her with him, Go
get what for?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
She was? Right Chester? I can't keep her in jail.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
But mister Dyllan, we.
Speaker 2 (19:03):

Speaker 4 (19:15):
Alright, Come on out for it?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
You turning me loose, not me, Miche.
Speaker 9 (19:19):
Gillon is.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
About a time, morning, Florid.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Not much of a jail you got, Marshall, and it's
not strong.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Enough to hold you.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Of course, it ain't.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Flory, the man you killed. You told me you've never
seen him before.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
I never had what was his name, George Bassett?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
What else did you know about him?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
He was wanted dead or alive? He was wanding.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I got a circler on him in the mail. Chester's
there on my desk.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
A shirt well forever more?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
How did you know he was wanted for him?
Speaker 7 (20:01):
He said so.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Now that's hard to believe.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Now he told me when he was bothering me before
he killed my husband he said one more wouldn't matter.
I guess he planned to kill me too later, only
he hadn't figured on getting cut up, and he needed
me after that.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Oh why didn't you tell me this out there, Flori?
I didn't think you'd believe me.
Speaker 10 (20:32):
Marshall.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Well maybe you were right. I never heard of George
Bassett before you heard of him.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, there's going to be some reward money coming for him, Marshall. Yeah, what.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
You say it?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Say what Florid? Please? Oh that you don't want the money,
that you wouldn't take it.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
