in the courthouse janitor. When he came into his office

54
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,159
at eight o'clock, he immediately telephoned the Texas Rangers, and

55
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,919
a short time later, Ranger Jace Pearson arrived.

56
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,240

59
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:52,439
Speaker 10: In?

60
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 13: No?

61
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 9: Apparently slipped out of town of Foot. We don't even

62
00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:56,719
know what direction he took.

63
00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: Probably east up Rocky Valley. That's the quickest way into

64
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:03,520
open country. Ranger Harris was ordered out on this assignment with.

65
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,560

00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: I dropped him with the walkie talkie at two mile

67
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:09,000
Bridge on the way in. He's riding through the brush

68
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,039
now cutting for a trail. You know, to find out

69
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,479
pretty soon if Bascom's still afoot, and it isn't. The

70
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,199
highway patrols already closed the main roads into this area.

71
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:20,000
Soon as we get a localization, mounted units will move

72
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,040
in an attempt to close the gaps. We'll get him, Sheriff.

169
00:08:57,519 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 8: Ka't the xcity on a tent?

170
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: At ten the KTXA go ahead KTXA.

171
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 8: Subject Jack Basco refused to pay for gasoline. He turned

172
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,600
south from Route seven at Perry's filling station.

173
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,799
Speaker 6: You have Vicinity next, Perry's down there at the foot

174
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:12,159
of the hill.

175
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 2: Ten to four, Unit ten approaching Perries now will keep

176
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:19,840
kt XA advised Unit ten player ten four kt x

177
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:20,279
A Austin.

178
00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:26,279
Speaker 9: There's Jim Perry out in front, flagging is down now. Hush,

179
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,840
I just got held up there, we know for some gasoline.

180
00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:31,279
Speaker 8: You know had the radio gym.

181
00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:34,039
Speaker 2: That's the attorney took over there. Yeah, the Big Wash road?

182
00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:34,679
How long ago?

183
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 8: Maybe ten minutes?

184
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,159
Speaker 2: Pretty good start on us, Jase. Yeah, the kind of

185
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,559
country there is down here. Let's don't let him get

186
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:53,039
any more. We found the red picked up abandoned in

187
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,159
the sandy bed of Big Wash, four miles from the

188
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,000
highway and radio the surrounding units. John Bascom's tracks led

189
00:09:59,039 --> 00:10:02,960
straight into broken c entry beyond the wash. He couldn't

190
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,559
go any further than the truck, and either can. We

191
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:07,360
looks like work for the horses from here on, Ed,

192
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,159
Let's get him out now.

193
00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:19,399
Speaker 16: I'll give you a hand, Jeans, Easy boy, easy, So

194
00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:21,799
got to got the walkie talkie.

195
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: Ed.

196
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,039
Speaker 2: We ought to be able to contact any units south

197
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,360
of Dry Creek with it pretty soon.

198
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I believe you're right. Hey, you boys, leave me

199
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:28,799
a foot.

200
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: Jees huh, you can take the unit back, Sheriff. Maybe

201
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,039
join the highway patrol of Dry Creek. Bascom's headed southwest.

202
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:37,360
He probably figures to slip past the roadblocks.

203
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 6: He might be making a wide detail over toward highway.

204
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 8: Limbs. Might be all set. Okay, anything else I can do?

205
00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, keep your fingers crossed, and I will trail and

206
00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:50,039
bask him in going to be any cinch for you boys.

207
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,159
He desperate, armed, and he knows his trails bridch.

208
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,279
Speaker 2: I know, easy boy, a good measure. I don't like

209
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,480
the looks of those clouds over there. All we need

210
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:02,600
is a storm to wipe out what little sign he

211
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:07,440
may leave. Well, let's get started as here. Good honey,

212
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:08,120
Thanks sir.

213
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: You are listening to Tales of the Texas Rangers, starring

214
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:32,159
Joel McCrae as Ranger Jace Pearson. And now we continue

215
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,919
with tonight's case, The White Suit, an authentic story from

216
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,799
the files of the Texas Rangers.

217
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 2: By four o'clock, Ed Harris and I were deep into

218
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,840
the rough country south of Big Wash.

219
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 8: We'd continually cut.

220
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,279
Speaker 2: Back and forth for Bascomb's tracks, finding them and losing

221
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,159
them again with slow work, covering five to his one one.

222
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,720
He steadily build up his lead on us.

223
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 14: He was in fernally clever, take it easy, going down here, Jason,

224
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,759
This canyon wall, with any steeper would be hanging by

225
00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:11,200
a collar.

226
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,759
Speaker 2: Oo oo charcoal.

227
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,399
Speaker 8: Hey, wait a minute of head, bull up? Whoa boy.

228
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,799
Speaker 2: Now? Jason bask him. Didn't slide down here like we thought. No, Look,

229
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,320
there's the rock. He pushed over from the rim to

230
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,360
make the skid marks we've been following. See it's lava

231
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,600
like the cap on the rim, different from the rest

232
00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:30,480
of the rock down here.

233
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:32,399
Speaker 8: So we've got to climb back to the top.

234
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:35,399
Speaker 3: Had a sworn he started down here to cross this canyon.

235
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: That's what he wanted us to think, anything to cost

236
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,120
this time. Trouble is, we got to follow out every

237
00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:43,639
one of these blind trails he's leaving us, any one

238
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,679
of them. May be the McCoy.

239
00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, he'll be a California before we ever get out

240
00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:47,720
of these bad lands.

241
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: And he isn't the California yet. Don't worry. He's working

242
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:51,600
as hard as we are.

243
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 3: Up charge, litt en up, Come on, Red Hawk, maybe

244
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,600
I could go, come on.

245
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 8: Watch it. Ad Ugh, what a climb. It's getting late.

246
00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: I got that sun Jash, Yeah, Hey, that low sun

247
00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:12,519
has got its advantages. Take a look at that slope

248
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,559
over there across.

249
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 14: The canyon, that patch of sand past that big mesquite Yeah,

250
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:20,960
tracks footprints. Then Bascom did cross the canyon after all.

251
00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 2: Probably someplace a little downstream.

252
00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 14: Jase, how come we didn't see those tracks when we

253
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,200
started down here from up before. He couldn't have made

254
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,000
them since then we aren't that close behind him. Oh

255
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:32,360
the tracks were there before, we just didn't see them.

256
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,960
Now the sun's blowing enough to throw longer shadows into

257
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:35,799
the Prince's boots.

258
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 2: Made thinks them twice as visible.

259
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:41,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, we better start looking for a place to cross ourselves.

260
00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: Now, let's find a little higher first. I'm worried about

261
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,840
that storm, the way it's filing up.

262
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 8: That red horse Claus not getting black cage probably loaded

263
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,240
with static.

264
00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: So you better try to make radio contact with a

265
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,440
walkie talkie.

266
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:54,759
Speaker 8: While we can.

267
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: We need to work from this high ground to get

268
00:13:57,279 --> 00:14:01,240
through general call case. Yeah, yeah, I suppose you try

269
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:01,559
it now.

270
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, Unit nine oh two the unit and range Unit

271
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,159
nine oh two.

272
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 8: The unit and range Unit.

273
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: Eight to Unit nine oh two, Go ahead, Unit nine

274
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:12,919
O two.

275
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 8: Oh boy, jes ooh charper.

276
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,679
Speaker 2: Unit eight to Unit nine oh two, go ahead. Unit

277
00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:23,279
nine oh two requests the location of Unit eight.

278
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 11: Unit eight is.

279
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,919
Speaker 1: At the intersection of County five and the State eleven,

280
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:31,600
ten miles south of Dry Creek.

281
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,039
Speaker 2: Then four, Unit eight is now too far north. Fugitives

282
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,399
still bearing toward Highway eleven, approximately twelve miles south and

283
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,399
east of Dry Creek.

284
00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 8: Suggests.

285
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,279
Speaker 2: Unit eight moves south about five miles Unit eight ten four.

286
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,320
Unit nine oh two has had no direct contact with

287
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,360
fugitive but is following an identifiable trail. Will report any change,

288
00:14:53,879 --> 00:14:56,639
Please relay to other units. Unit nine oh two.

289
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 8: Player Unit eight ten four.

290
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: Look, Jason, Bask.

291
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 14: You may stay on the other side of the canyon,

292
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,200
or he may double back to this side. Why don't

293
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,159
we save ourselves a lot of riding and split up

294
00:15:07,159 --> 00:15:07,480
for a bit.

295
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: And I'll be a bad idea. I'll take the canyon floor.

296
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:10,679
It's sandy.

297
00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: Tracks will be easy to spot there, and you can work.

298
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,759
Speaker 2: Along this rim all right, but watch yourself ed, you'll

299
00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:16,559
be in the open down.

300
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:18,559
Speaker 3: Just let Bask him show himself once.

301
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:21,399
Speaker 8: That's all I want. Come on, red horse and going down.

302
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: Eat eating, see a kid to get to the bottom

303
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:26,279
before you start day.

304
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 8: Okay.

305
00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:38,159
Speaker 2: Something about a man sharpens the hunter's senses. I sat

306
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,720
on the rim for long moments, watching in Harris descend

307
00:15:40,759 --> 00:15:44,080
that canyon wall, feeling danger without being able to identify it.

308
00:15:44,799 --> 00:15:47,399
Suddenly smoked blossom behind a rock in the opposite rim.

309
00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:49,720
I saw Harris sag in his saddle before the horse

310
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:52,279
carried him out of sight him by distance.

311
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,879
Speaker 11: Came the lanking sound of a shark.

312
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:12,519
Speaker 10: Go charp, go bar, all right, a rock through the word.

313
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:24,679
Speaker 17: He's coverhead here.

314
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 8: He was right up there, but he beat it.

315
00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 18: I think I hit him.

316
00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:32,879
Speaker 2: Those white cover offs make some target. I'll be realizing

317
00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:35,360
that by now, and he'll really run. How bad are

318
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:35,639
you hit?

319
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 8: Flesh? You won't clean?

320
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:39,879
Speaker 3: Just above the old boy here, Help me get this

321
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:40,679
kerchief on it.

322
00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 8: I'll be all right.

323
00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: Pull your sleeve all the way. Yeah, he would pick

324
00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:46,240
my left arm.

325
00:16:46,879 --> 00:16:47,279
Speaker 8: How do you know?

326
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: I was a south wall and something. We may be

327
00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:54,039
asking him right sudden? You okay? Now, yeah, I pick

328
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,320
up his trail on the rim. We'll have to watch sharp.

329
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,720
It's gonna try to keep that white suit out of sight.

330
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:01,480
Now only way this close to him. Come on right on,

331
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,080
show that charco.

332
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 8: Easy to them, more onto the top, come on out.

333
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:21,279
Speaker 9: Whoa.

334
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,279
Speaker 14: I had a fat chance of picking up anybody's trail here,

335
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,839
Jason heard of elephant's gonna cross this blue shade without.

336
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:29,319
Speaker 8: Leaving a trace.

337
00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 2: Maybe and look here you see them? Yeah, and it's

338
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,000
the whole trail of them. As don't go after anything

339
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:39,640
in this country. They can't eat. I'd see what these

340
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:45,680
are having for supper? Here we are on this piece

341
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,920
of shell. Yeah, blood, and then I did nail them.

342
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:52,599
We got a wounded animal on our hands. Jason may

343
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,799
let go at us and behind any of these brush clumps.

344
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,400
And I don't think he's hurt so bad he won't

345
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,119
keep on running. There's just a few drops here. I'm

346
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,440
afraid you just that was pretty long rain, and it won't.

347
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,839
Speaker 14: Be the next time I get him in my sights.

348
00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:06,680
I promise you that I owe him something for this arm.

349
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: Let's go probably headed for that big mesquite Yeah, he

350
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:11,920

351
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:20,279
Speaker 12: Hey, hey, jee, what cot there? New pit's cover all?

352
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,759
He feel them all very cold.

353
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 9: Into that big tumba brush across the Claire.

354
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: Come on, let's go get it.

355
00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:30,799
Speaker 2: Hey, wait a minute, circle around below him, mad, make

356
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:32,920
a lot of racket like we're still together and hunting blind.

357
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:35,359
Maybe you can flush him back between those big rocks. Okay,

358
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,599
I'll try it, Jesh. I'll hide charcoal out behind the

359
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,519
side of him, and maybe you can rig up a

360
00:18:39,559 --> 00:18:42,200
little surprise party for mister Bascom when he comes through.

361
00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:42,960
But be careful.

362
00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 8: He won't give you a chance.

363
00:18:44,319 --> 00:18:47,559
Speaker 2: Don't give him one chance, that killer. Just let me

364
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:48,759
get my hands on him.

365
00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 3: Come on, red horse, hit that.

366
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 4: Let's go.

367
00:18:51,920 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: Easy, charcoal, using we go this way. Oh oh boy,

00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,279
Speaker 10: What is wrong there?

376
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:35,559
Speaker 8: What's he doing here?

00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 8: I am a lonesome man. Mind my sheep. Did I

380
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,319
hear the coun two three times?

381
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,519
Speaker 13: When now a few minutes ago, I think maybe it's

382
00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:54,200
my friend. Diego come from next valley. We've gone to

383
00:19:54,319 --> 00:19:57,839

00:19:58,319 --> 00:20:01,119
the way. I'm looking for coyotes. Your clothes. I'll go

385
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,519
to see if it's my friend. When this one hombry,

386
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,319
this very bad man is jump from the bush.

387
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 8: He's gone.

388
00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: Is very big pick, my class pick. Tell me not

389
00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:13,359
to move when you run.

390
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 8: I stand still till he's gone. Do not run to

391
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:18,279
which way he goes?

392
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,039
Speaker 2: How do I know? May Petro, I'm scared to tenth

393
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:25,240
all right, Pedro, forget about your clothes. You're a lucky

394
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:29,440
man to be alive. See, I knows she better get

395
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,480
some more clothes before that storm hits. You aren't exactly

396
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:38,200
dressed for bad weather. O A steady chark. Looks like

397
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:41,240
our surprise didn't come off. N Let's get moving before

398
00:20:41,319 --> 00:20:43,759
Bascom builds up a lead on us again. Yeah, let's

399
00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:54,880
go right horse, Harris and I picked up the trail

400
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,400
shortly ask him. Managed to stay ahead of us, using

401
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,480
a large bag of tricks to keep out of sight,

402
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,359
even if he couldn't shake us. When the sun set

403
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,000
behind towering thunderclouds, we were working our way down a

404
00:21:05,079 --> 00:21:07,759
wide aaron belly, keeping some distance apart.

405
00:21:09,799 --> 00:21:12,079
Speaker 3: Hey say, share the tracks again, pick.

406
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 2: Them up charcoal. Yeah, ooh ooh boys, I heading right

407
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:21,000
down there in the valley. Precious daisies too.

408
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,519
Speaker 14: Yeah, no blow sand drifted into them at all. We

409
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,240
better try that general call again and to report opposition.

410
00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:28,680
Look at the direction those tracks are taken. They've been

411
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:29,480
swinging that way.

412
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: The last half hour.

413
00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I noticed that hit it almost du eash.

414
00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:35,559
Speaker 2: Now Bascomb's pulling another big red herring on us. He

415
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,039
made for Highway eleven long enough for us to report

416
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:40,559
it and set up interception for him there, and then.

417
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 14: He swings straight east for Highway thirteen.

418
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,759
Speaker 3: So that catches us with our units down, don't it.

419
00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:48,079
Speaker 2: Bascomb's gambling that it does. And I'll try the call

420
00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:52,920
unit nine oh two to unit and range nine oh

421
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,599
two to unit and range nine oh two to.

422
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 8: Unit and range W.

423
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,759
Speaker 3: It's no use, Jay, You can't raise anybody with too

424
00:21:59,759 --> 00:22:00,440
far out.

425
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: Now whether it isn't helping him either on this lower ground,

426
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,039
looks like we're in for real soaking before night.

427
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, baskuom can't possibly be much ahead of us. Maybe

428
00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:12,240
we can tree him before he gets through to the highway,

429
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:13,880
handle him on our own from here on.

430
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: You can't risk it in if he slips us and

431
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,039
gets through to make a ride with somebody or steal

432
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:19,240
another car, you'll be gone.

433
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 8: And I guess here's where we separate. Then I'm kind

434
00:22:22,279 --> 00:22:23,440
of out of the running with this year.

435
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: Bum Arm.

436
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:26,599
Speaker 14: Give me the walkie talking and I'll double back till

437
00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:28,640
I'm in range of the units on Highway eleven again.

438
00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: That's good.

439
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,759
Speaker 8: It'll ride all right like that.

440
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:34,759
Speaker 3: Anything special for the boys.

441
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,799
Speaker 2: Ask him to request coverage on Highway thirteen all the

442
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:40,960
way to Preto. Keep trying till you get through. I'll

443
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,519
stick on his trail. I'll have a really indicating XA

444
00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:45,240
in half an hour. As soon as you do, you

445
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,599
better head out toward dry creek and get that arm

446
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,799
look there. I'll wait till we've got bask him. Good luck, Jase,

447
00:22:51,079 --> 00:22:59,720
same to you. Ahead, come on ye twenty minutes later

448
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:03,119
than he instructed, with cloud burst intensity bringing complete darkness,

449
00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:06,400
not before John Bastu's tracks led me on an adobe

450
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:09,960
bench where sheep and new raising. He'd removed his boots here,

451
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,440
and his tracks blended with a maze of other bare

452
00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:17,160
footprints left by Mexican sheepherders. I rode on slowly. Suddenly

453
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,640
a small rain drenched boy stepped out from the brush.

454
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,799
Charcoal nearly ran him down. Oh whoa charpo, steady ball.

455
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 3: Hey you're there, Hey boy, need y'all pay.

456
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:35,799
Speaker 2: Ran like a frightened little rabbit. Light winked as the

457
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,079
door open and closed the door to an adobe shack.

458
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,880
So I approached. I saw the blinds were tightly drawn,

459
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,440
almost as though to prevent the leakage of any telltale

460
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,599
light from the candle burning dimmer inside.

461
00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:48,759
Speaker 11: Ooh, charpo, who boy?

462
00:23:54,720 --> 00:24:02,799
Speaker 2: Over and up over an up Jenny, Who are you

463
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,440
Texas Ranger? I mean out of this rain. I want

464
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,319
to ask you some questions.

465
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,799
Speaker 15: Well, Senor, I cannot let you in. How how can

466
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:09,319
he seek?

467
00:24:09,519 --> 00:24:12,039
Speaker 2: He's very sick and your boy just ran in here.

468
00:24:12,319 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 15: He was going to look for him. Mamma, go storm,

469
00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:20,000
she spaed. He frightened him, Senor.

470
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 2: He gave me a turn for a minute.

471
00:24:21,519 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 11: Two.

472
00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: Look, I need little help me.

473
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 15: I would do anything till the Texas Ranger trailing.

474
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 2: A man, a very dangerous man. You must have passed

475
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,400
close to here about the time the rain began. Where

476
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:30,839
is he now?

477
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 15: We have seen nothing? Want he told me nobody, Senor.

478
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 2: Maybe your husband did them anyway, I want out of this.

479
00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 8: Rain, Senor, No, you must not my husband.

480
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,559
Speaker 2: This woman was definitely afraid, but her eyes told me

481
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,279
she wasn't afraid of me, of the storm, perhaps of

482
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:50,000
the sickness in her house, or of the blanket wrapped

483
00:24:50,079 --> 00:24:51,759
man lying on a bunk in the corner of the

484
00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:54,680
room with his bare feet including toward me. The door

485
00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:56,680
was thick. I pushed it inward as far as it

486
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,759
had done. Step quickly, please, gun off front of that

487
00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:06,720
blanket and drop it. Baskom, the gun, Bascom, drop it,

488
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:08,000
or I'll break your other arms.

489
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 10: Drop it.

490
00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: You would be stubborn, Bassom. Now you really got something

491
00:25:20,279 --> 00:25:23,599
to be sick about. Something I'm bleeding to death. You

492
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,440
won't get off that easy. We're saving you for the

493
00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:30,160
electric chair. You got something I can use for bandages

494
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:40,519
in your This will do fine. He was holding a

495
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:42,119
gun on you and the boy making you do what

496
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,119
he said. How could you know your real husband's a

497
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:46,960
sheep man, isn't he?

498
00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:49,839
Speaker 15: He's working your problem?

499
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 2: Well, look at these bare feet sticking out here. You

500
00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:55,720
ever see an honest to goodness sheep man with his

501
00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:59,680
toes all crowded together from wearing cowboy boots that it

502
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,119
puts water on the heat. I'll need it to patch

503
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,359
him up enough to take him in.

504
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 4: John Bascombe was tried in live Ol County and found

505
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:23,720
guilty of the murder of two men on the second

506
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:26,839
day of December nineteen forty seven at Huntsville Prison.

507
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,519
Speaker 2: His sentence was carried out death in the electric chair.

508
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,720
And now here again is the star of our show.

509
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,240
Joel McCrae. One of the pleasures afforded us. Here in

510
00:26:48,319 --> 00:26:50,720
this show is the large number of letters we received

511
00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:54,720
asking for special information about the Texas Rangers. This week,

512
00:26:54,759 --> 00:26:57,920
we received one an especially interesting letter which the writer

513
00:26:58,079 --> 00:27:00,960
said she had heard of an official ranger's prayer and

514
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,400
inquired if such a prayer actually existed. It does. The

515
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,960
prayer was written by Captain Pierre Bernard Hill, chaplain of

516
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,599
the Texas Rangers, and I should like you to hear it.

517
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,440
Oh God, whose end is justice, whose strength is all

518
00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:21,359
our stay, be near and bless my mission as I

519
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,480
go forth today. Let wisdom guide my actions, Let courage

520
00:27:26,599 --> 00:27:30,400
fill my heart, and help me Lord in every hour

521
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:36,279
to do a ranger's part. Protect when danger threatens, Sustain

522
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,440
when trails are rough, Help me to keep my standard high,

523
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,079
and smile at each rebuff. When night comes down upon me.

524
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,160
I pray thee Lord be nigh, whether on lonely scout

525
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:56,440
or camped under Texas sky, keep me O God in life,

526
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,000
and when my days shall end, for give my sins

527
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,279
and take me in for Jesus sake.

528
00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:20,839
Speaker 11: Amen. Good night, folks, Good night.

529
00:28:25,079 --> 00:28:27,880
