as a man with a gun, he lives and becomes
18
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.200
a part of the violent years in the New Territories.
19
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.959
Now starring John Dayner, this is the story of JB. Kendall,
20
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:44.879
frontier gentleman.
21
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.040
I had taken the stage coach from Dry Creek and
22
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.400
was on my way back to Cheyenne. Beside myself there
23
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.960
were two other passengers, one a gaunt, stern faced man
24
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.840
named Barnaby, who we spent most of his waking hours
25
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.240
reading from the Bible. The other, Thad Clock, a miner who,
26
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.840
having made a modest fortune, was on his way to
27
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:24.800
his home in Illinois. It was late afternoon, stage lurching
28
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:26.919
along the well worn road a few miles to the
29
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:28.080
west of Laramie.
30
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.520
I tell you, fellas, I can order me a dozen
31
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.280
fresh eggs and all the fancies fluff duffs they got
32
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.319
in the past eating place in Laramie.
33
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.879
A man and could not cree A slave to his stomach, that.
34
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.240
Ain't exactly I'm a slave, mister Barnaby, and I sure
35
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.800
won't mind pamper in it for a while. If you'd
36
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.520
eat as much jerky and drunk as much brown gargle
37
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.319
as I have, you, go along with me.
38
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.919
I go along, mister Clark once, you know.
39
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.280
Once, for two months I had to live on nothing
40
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:01.680
but dried fish and rice.
41
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.800
It was in India heat even Lad.
42
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.960
You know, I got a hanker into do some traveling.
43
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.800
Might be I'll take a trip out there, China, India.
44
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:14.759
I got me enough gold dust, and I wrote the box,
45
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:15.840
do a lot of things like that.
46
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.000
The wealth of the money is the root of all etho.
47
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.360
If it is, I'm sure going to find out when
48
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:22.879
we hit.
49
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:32.080
Lad, what is it? What's the matter? Riders blocking the road.
50
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:34.439
Just to hold up?
51
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:35.000
Hold up?
52
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.280
If you got guns eating where they are, there's too
53
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:39.759
many of them to put a fight.
54
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.919
My gold listen, I worked three years for that. Let's
55
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.439
shoot it out. What do you say, Kendall, you got
56
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:44.719
a gun?
57
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.199
Look out the window. Five six of them odds are
58
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:48.639
against us.
59
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:49.199
I'm afraid.
60
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.439
They were on horseback, their faces completely masked, tradling rifles
61
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.599
and shotguns in their arms. Two of them remained in
62
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.319
front of the coach. Three more took up positions to
63
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.199
either side and behind. The sixth man, who appeared to
64
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.120
be the leader, called to us to get out. Our
65
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.360
driver nonchalantly climbed down from his seat and began to
66
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.920
roll a cigarette. The minor clock stood next to me
67
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.199
right hand clenched hovering over his gun.
68
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:26.160
Butt you mestra, and you do you mean me? No?
69
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.639
No, the tall fellow another one. Unbottle your gun valves
70
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.240
and drop him. Don't need anyone to get hurt.
71
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.759
I'm a poor man. I have no worldly goods.
72
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:42.680
Sorry to hear that, brother, your preacher. No, that's too bad.
73
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.560
I never rob a skypilot. S empty out your pockets,
74
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.480

Let me tell your kids all about it. It's kind
81
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.079
of a puny wallet.
82
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.759
Don't take that. It's all I have forty fifty dollars.

Sure all right now, you mister, Yeah, you won't find much.
88
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.240
It's a right handsome look and watch you got there.
89
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:38.560
I like it.
90
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:44.759
Take it off, no, come on now, take it off.
91
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.720
It has a great sentimental value to me. It count
92
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.160
is worth more than a few dollars.
93
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.519
To all adds up, mister, take it off.
94
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.199
No, if you figure it's worth your life in a way.
95
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.120
Hey, hey, look at here what I found?
96
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:04.480
Who belongs to this?
97
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.319
It's mine? I guess the ain't no use asking you
98
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:07.920
to leave it be.
99
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.439
That's a fact. Short breaks my heart.
100
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.800
The way you river snipers have to sweat to get
101
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:14.279
that much?
102
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.120
Does give him back a sack of it?
103
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.240
CD and see what's in their mother boxes? Yeah, farder
104
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.120
not for grubs about that watch?
105
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.680
Is it worth killing me for it? Mister?
106
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.639
That's a plumb low code question. I plugged a fellow
107
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:29.920
once over a chart to back.
108
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:35.480
What's your name, Kendall? I like to meet a man
109
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.800
with guts? All right, you keep that watch, kendle. It's
110
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:40.680
a pressure.
111
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.639
Thereecourses writers coming up the road.
112
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:53.759
Pick up your gun. Hey, you got one?
113
00:06:53.839 --> 00:07:01.199
You got him.
114
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.480
The wounded man clung to his saddle for a few yards,
115
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.000
then toppled over him, fell to the ground, and was still.
116
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.720
The others disappeared in the cloud of dust along the
117
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.519
road to the west. A moment or two later, a
118
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:12.720
group of horsemen rode up.
119
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:13.800
They were led by.
120
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:17.720
An exceedingly tall man wearing a large and ladder ornate
121
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:18.399
the badge.
122
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.639
Where's where they go? They went that a way.
123
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.079
They can't help that one. He's right on and half.
124
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.839
You must get hilave you and the boys get after him.
125
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:28.920
We do that.
126
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.600
You will recognize any of them to him?
127
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.600
No, must be new around here. Sure, I never did
128
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.560
see him before. The figure happened held up by most
129
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:42.920
of the whole up men in the territory.
130
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:47.360
All right, let's take a look that fairly shod luck
131
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:48.959
a huge geens we came along.
132
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.399
They ain't lucky, and sure hope your boys catch up
133
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:51.759
with him.
134
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:59.720
Don't worry, we'll get him. Well, let's last round of
135
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:04.120
this add allow him through the head hie shooting mister,
136
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:05.399
Well let's get that.
137
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:06.279
Let's go.
138
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:16.720
Any you ever see him before? Oh yeah, no, papers.
139
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.000
And didn't think they would be.
140
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:25.360
Well, I guess you jents can go on your way.
141
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.879
I'll be glad if you'll stop. Buy my office, and
142
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.199
Larmie make out a report of what was taken.
143
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.559
Dam talker, we locker.
144
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.879
Hey you're new and Laramie sure yeah.

cleaning up. You got no worries. We'll have your valuables back.
147
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:45.080
By the night.
148
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:51.000
The sheriff followed his posse. We went on to Larimine
149
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:53.799
and on a rifle. Mister Barnaby went off with a
150
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.320
severe looking woman whom I assumed to be his wife.
151
00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.600
Fad Clock was kind enough to take me to dinner.
152
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.159
Afterwards. We walked down to the Sheriff's office. He sat
153
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:10.399
behind his desk, powerful square John's cheeli idens the picture
154
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:13.720
of an iron nerved man of the law. At a
155
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:17.279
smaller desk, his discreete deputy was filling out some papers.
156
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:18.639

157
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.679

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:15.000
by backing shy, I'm an English newspaper man. Yes, well,
175
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.159
I'm proud, mighty proud.
176
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.600
I reckon you'll be writing all this up for your paper.
177
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.279
I imagine I will.
178
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.879
Good, good, and you'll get a chance to see how
179
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.960
we take care of bad men in Laramie. Things are
180
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.799
going to be different around here. I'd admire to have
181
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:31.559
you stick around.
182
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:31.919
Ken.
183
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.679
We've got new methods scientific like they've been using in these.
184
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.679
That's fine, But what about my goal? Those hold up
185
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.399
boys must be in Colorado by now?
186
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:47.120
You hear that, Clint, that's a funny one. I'll tell
187
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.840
you where they are, gents, Right this minute, I can
188
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.440
put my finger on, but I'm going to wait for morning.
189
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:55.559
They're holding up in the Centennial mind. Think it's about
190
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:58.519
thirty miles west to here. That's where we travel them, isn't.
191
00:10:58.399 --> 00:10:58.840
It, Clen?
192
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.840
That's a plice, sir, we got four men watching right
193
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:02.559
this minute.
194
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.720
Keim, Well, how'd you like to ride out to me
195
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.320
in the morning and watch us pull in a bunch out?
196
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.600
Lord, it'd be very interesting.
197
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.240
Sheriff, Oh, this will be just about the most important
198
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.039
story you've ever read, and I'll be glad to help
199
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:15.679
you make your name.
200
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:19.320
Ken huh, well, that's my fa.
201
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.799
Sure sure I've seen one of them, maybe two, maybe
202
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:22.279
all of them?
203
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:23.720
Now now easy, pardon me.
204
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.200
I tell you they're down at Lazy Kate Saloon. Them
205
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:26.759
same fellers.
206
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.840
Did the whole up this afternoon, though, no driver can't
207
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.519
be we know where they are.
208
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.080
We sure do, mister up being centennial, and they came
209
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:35.960
back to Laramie.
210
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:37.240
I recognize a voice.
211
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.000
Now, voices Kim fool. You take my word.
212
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.879
We got them boxed him thirty miles away. It's them.
213
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.159
I swear I can pick them out even without the masks.
214
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:47.799
Do you think it might be an idea to go
215
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.440
down and have a look, Sheriff, Just in.
216
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:55.120
Case, man's an almighty fool not to follow lead you want,
217
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.960
I should take the scatter guns, mister Harper, don't see
218
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.399
there'll be a need clam if it's them, which I
219
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.480
know it isn't the old peacemakers will do out talking. Yes,
220
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.159
dever you come and point out your suspects. Clark, you
221
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:08.840
better stay put, all right with me?
222
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.200
Just get that goldust back.
223
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.879
That's all our want see. I'd rather like to come
224
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.639
along too, if you don't mind, Sheriff, you may be
225
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.639
a greenhorn't ken, you got guts?
226
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:19.600
Let's good.
227
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.279
In a moment, we return to Frontier Gentlemen. CBS newsman
228
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.159
Walter Cronkite and Wells Church if teamed up to bring
229
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:40.799

230
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.639
Join us on CBS Radio when it's time for Walter
231
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.679

233
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:52.879
of these same stations. Both men are experts on world affairs,
234
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.679
and each in his own way makes following the news
235
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:59.360
an exciting adventure. And now we'll return you to
the
236
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.600
Anthonillas production of Frontier.
237
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:13.799
Gentlemen for the second time that day.
238
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.960
I had been apprised to the fact that my guts
239
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:20.360
were organs of some consequence, once by an outlaw who
240
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.039
had stolen my wallet and its contents, and.
241
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:25.159
Again by an outside sheriff who wore.
242
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:29.360
A diamond studded badge and carried two tremendous guns low
243
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:33.440
on his hips. The four of us walked down the street,
244
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.399
Sheriff Harper, his deputy, whom I only knew was clem
245
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.720
the stagecoach driver, and myself. We arrived at the Lazy
246
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.279
Kate saloon. It was fairly well crowded, but almost immediately
247
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.679
the driver spotted the men in question and pointed them
248
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.840
out to us, two of them their backs to us
249
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:52.039
standing at the bar.
250
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.000
He's the ones. Maybe the other fellows alongside too, and
251
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:58.559
you wouldn't did get a good look at them?
252
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.200
All right, you better stay here, driver, ken, you stay dying.
253
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:03.639
Clemming.
254
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.799
If you think you recognized the voice is just singer,
255
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:12.320
you bet I will, Sheriff, Let's go, Clem.
256
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:13.200
Cliffs.
257
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.120
I don't say she can't do the job, and I'll
258
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.080
ride along with all the cold forty four.
259
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.440
Now that's for sure that there's one sweet piece of artillery.
260
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.799
I beg your pardon, and that gentlemen, boy, haven't we
261
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.480
met before? You talking to me? Mister? That's right, this
262
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:29.440
is the man Kimmel.
263
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:33.000
It's his voice, looks like him. The other chap's the
264
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.799
money called see dem chef?
265
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:38.519
Is there something wrong? What's your name? Mister Fred Cole?
266
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.240
You Sylvester?
267
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:41.720
Noah Sylvester?
268
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.879
Who these other boys? Who?
269
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:44.240
Then?
270
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.360
I don't know.
271
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.679
I never saw him before tonight.
272
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.879
I'd keep your hands on the bar, jims Cheff.
273
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:51.840
We're supposed to have done something this life.
274
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:56.120
Matter of a hold up the US search him, Clym,
275
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:58.360
watch out for a billy gun.
276
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.120
Yes, sir, mister Harper's foot the rest. You've got the
277
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:05.639
wrong man, me and no we in no Levice lab Shucks.
278
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.759
I don't even carry a gun me neither.
279
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:10.440
You're clean, Sheriff Ashore, we're clean.
280
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:13.879
You got us mistook for two other follows list.
281
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:15.120
I don't think so.
282
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:20.200
I'm taking you both here. The stagecoach driver identified you
283
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:23.200
as well. If it's a mistake, you got nothing to
284
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:27.200
worry about. If it isn't, there'll be empty settles for
285
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:28.440
you in the misty.
286
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.240
Beard, let's go.
287
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:35.919
He took them back to the Sheriff's office, and they
288
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.799
were locked up, protesting mother mildly and seemingly quite unworried.
289
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:41.720
I could see that.
290
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.799
Their manner had a profound effect on Hopurm. He must
291
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:49.480
have felt that, in my eyes, his reputation was at stake. Unequivocally,
292
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.240
he had stated that the hold up men were trapped
293
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.600
thirty miles away in the mind shafts of Centennial. Now
294
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.799
three of the victims had identified the ringleaders under his
295
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:02.840
very nose in Lana. He must have find it rather awkward, because,
296
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.480
after an hour or so of questioning, he faced Clock,
297
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.639
the driver, and me and said.
298
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:14.159
Gentlemen, I've questioned those boys in there for better than
299
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.080
our I reckon, I know men as well as the
300
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.720
knicks man. Maybe something better. And I'll see here and
301
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:24.120
now that those fellows are innocent. They're not. I know
302
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.200
those voices anyway, I know.
303
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:27.320
How you feel.
304
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.879
But in the morning, when we bring the outlaws in,
305
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.720
you thank me, and you won't have it on your conscience.
306
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:35.919
The two innocent cop punches were unjustly locked up. In
307
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.000
other words, you're going to release these men.
308
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.240
Well, that's about the size of it, Kindle.
309
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.000
In spite of the fact that all three of us
310
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.799
know their voices, we couldn't all be wrong. Even so,
311
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:46.759
you're going to let them go.
312
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.320
Well, now, Kindle, this is a matter of law. They
313
00:16:52.399 -->
00:16:54.519
got nothing on them, sure as they took any of
314
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:58.840
your valuables. You identify a voice, but not a face.
315
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.399
That isn't going to stand up in corn. Besides, there
316
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.000
isn't much I don't know when it comes to following
317
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:06.359
side that sure is so.
318
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.119
Sheriff used to be a scout for Colonel Custard.
319
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.400
Those hold up men never doubled back to Laramie. You
320
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:13.839
can take my word.
321
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.119
Would there be any harm in holding these chaps at
322
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.839
least until you bring in the others in the morning,
323
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:19.480
at least on.
324
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:23.599
Suspicion, Kennel, I wouldn't want you writing in your paper
325
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:26.240
that the sheriff Alaramy took the law in his own hands.
326
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.359
I've got a mighty big job to do in this town.
327
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.319
Mighty be you're worrying about your job in his newspaper,
328
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.759
I'm worrying about my five thousand dollars that robbed off me.
329
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.519
Well, I guess I could hold him n til morning.
330
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:39.759
I could do that, That's all we want.
331
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:40.319
You know.
332
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.440
Ever since I seen that big fella without his mask,
333
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:44.799
I got a feeling.
334
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:47.839
What sort of a feeling? Driver incident? What is your name?
335
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:48.519
Driver?
336
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:50.079
Elwood driver.
337
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:51.960
Can't you get you?
338
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:52.799
Don it?
339
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:59.240
Me being a stagecoach driver in all driver. Well, anyways
340
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.039
about that feller, I keep thinking maybe I seen him
341
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:04.240
somewhere where.
342
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:06.720
Yeah, what do you want? Cool?
343
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:08.920
Me and Sylvester we was wondering.
344
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:09.599
How about some.
345
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:14.400
Grub for sure, Clem go across Nadery and get him
346
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:15.960
to rustle up some grub the boys.
347
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.920
Sure, well, mister, I guess I'll check you in at
348
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:20.279
the hotel and get some shut eye.
349
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.720
You can share my room if you want, Kendall, Thank you?
350
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:23.400
Is matter of fact.
351
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:27.240
I was yeah, yeah, me and Sylvester, we just thought
352
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:27.680
of something.
353
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:30.880
Maybe we can prove that we ain't the fellas you're
354
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:31.400
looking for.
355
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.480
All right, cool speak gippies.
356
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.720
But now these fellas they say they was held up
357
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:49.119
about ten miles outside of Laramie.
358
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.079
That's right, And what time? Six?
359
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:52.799
Yeah?
360
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:53.640
What I tell you?
361
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:55.240
Fred? Yeah?
362
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:58.119
Well, now Sylvester here remembers those folks who could tell
363
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.319
you we was right here in Laramie all afternoon and
364
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.559
about six. Now, if that's so, we couldn't be in
365
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:06.720
two places to once, could that's for sure?
366
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:09.440
Now that's for sure. You'll have to admit that.
367
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:12.200
Chef LOOI your witnesses, boys.
368
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:15.400
Three fellows down to the Sherman Hotel. We were playing
369
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.319
billy drinking beer with him. Don't recollect her last names.
370
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:24.119
There was a Jim, Jim Hankers Jenkers that was, and
371
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:27.640
then Zion Zach and brother he is Jake.
372
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.039
That's right, you go ask for them, Sheriff. I'll tell
373
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.960
you well you find I'm a fair man. Boys, if
374
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:35.039
you're telling the truth, I'll be fair.
375
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.319
I knew you'd give us a square deal. Sare.
376
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:44.519
It's quite convenient, isn't it? What those the witnesses popping
377
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.119
up might be.
378
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:49.359
So ken Man's innocent until proved guilty.
379
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:50.799
That's the law. Yeah.
380
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:52.640
But there was six of them in the hold up,
381
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:54.079
Kendall plug one.
382
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:56.319
At least five two you got in there, the other
383
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:57.640
three down the Sherman Hotel.
384
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:02.519
My thoughts exactly in saying that five out laws doubled
385
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:03.200
back on me.
386
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:04.559
You reckon.
387
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:06.759
I lost the trail of five men.
388
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:07.960
You reckon.
389
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.160
They'd all be fool enough to come into Laramie after
390
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.960
a daylight hold up. They might be smart enough to
391
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:16.200
mister ken Lets the mighty big paper you write for,
392
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.039
and I guess you do a real fine job, but
393
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.680
you're no law making. I'd be impatient with you, gents,
394
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.240
because I felt sorry for you. But I'm the Sheriff
395
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.559
of Laramie, and from here on in I'm going to
396
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.519
have to run things my way. Sure, it's as soon
397
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.200
as Clem gets back, I'm walking down to this Sherman.
398
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.000
If I find those boys that Cole and Sylvester to
399
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.319
say they were with this afternoon, that's all I need
400
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:43.000
to know. You'll free them, That's what I aim to do.
401
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:48.079
He was useless to argue with him.
402
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:52.000
A few minutes later, his deputy Clem returned, and Sheriff
403
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:55.359
Hopper strode manfully out of his office.
404
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.960
Driver and Clark.
405
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.759
Left a moment afterwards. They were beaten men, and we
406
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:03.240
go into the nearest saloon to get drunk. I decided
407
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.200
to stay. I happen to see what I knew was
408
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:08.279
going to happen. Half an hour later he came back.
409
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:10.799
One look at the smile on his face told me
410
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:12.359
all I needed to know.
411
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:20.640
Clem unlocked the set. Yes, sir, mister Harper, why you
412
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:21.240
found them?
413
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.039
Yeah, well, just as a matter of curiosity shutoff If
414
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:27.640
they were lying, would you.
415
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:28.079
Have known it?
416
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:33.000
Yeah, I'd know it. That's why I'm sure come on out, boys.
417
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.359
You found them a shaft and they told you where
418
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:36.759
we was.
419
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:39.799
Aw you gins, Oh.
420
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.000
No, that ain't necessary, sheriff. He would only do it
421
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:42.599
your duty.
422
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:45.240
Well it's mighty large. If you to take you that way,
423
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:46.680
I guess you'll be on our way.
424
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:50.839
Huh yeah yeah, Oh say, mister Kendall.
425
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:56.279
Uh that there's a right handsome watch you're wearing, mister Kendle.
426
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:59.039
But I don't suppose you'd want to part with it.
427
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:01.559
Well, so long, real.
428
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:05.960
Nice knowing you share so long, Share so.
429
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:13.079
Long, so long. He's the same, he's it's all right,
430
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:17.279
you know.
431
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:22.200
I was just looking through these wanted posters that come
432
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.559
in in the morning mail. Yeah yeah, Now there's one
433
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:31.240
picture here. Fella's got a kind of familiar face here.
434
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:40.640
Yeah you see yuh yeah, Jesse James. Five thousand dollars
435
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:46.680
reward for the capture dead or alive. Can I remember?
436
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:47.119
I remember?
437
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.960
We're seeing that fella. He's Jesse James. That's Jesse James.
438
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:53.960
But you hear what I'm saying, Jesse James.
439
00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:59.559
Jesse James, and mister James just left.
440
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:02.079
I don't think he'll be back.
441
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.480
This time, Jesse James left Laramie for good, followed a
442
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:16.160
day later by Sheriff Will Hopper and his inestimable deputy Clem.
443
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:19.480
The irate citizens of Laramie gave him quite a send
444
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:23.319
off as to how I recovered my twenty dollars and
445
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.480
Thad Clark at least a part of his gold is
446
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:28.680
