1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: It's amazing what a man will do to himself over

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,639
a woman, and still more amazing what a woman will

3
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:08,800
do to herself over a man. This story happened in

37
00:01:51,920 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: Anyway we sing, John Daner. This is the story of J. B. Kendall,

38
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:05,519
frontier gentlemen.

39
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: Virginia City, Montana territory was particularly noted for three things.

40
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,120
It's gold, Henry Plumber and his band of outlaws, and

41
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:36,080
the vigilantes. The vigilantes disposed of the Plumbers and were

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,879
replaced by a more lawful authority, so that by the

43
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:41,879
time I arrived, only the gold remained, and of course

44
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,199
those who sought it, the miners. They filled the town

45
00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:48,280
day and night, spending their hard or easily won money

46
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,360
in saloons, gambling houses, and hurdy gurdy establishments. I was

47
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,080
attracted to one of these On the night of my

48
00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:58,199
second day in Virginia City. It was a brilliantly lit

49
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,960
saloon called Skinners, and outside was a large sign proclaiming

50
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,360
the appearance of Miss Ulalia Robinson. I went inside.

51
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 6: When gentlemen, if.

52
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: You're giving your attention, I'm kind of refrained from shooting

53
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,919
six guns in the establishment because the next man that

54
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:29,120
does is going to get thrown out on his saddle.

55
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:36,479
With your current permission, I had the honor presenting the

56
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,639
world famous actress, missed.

57
00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: You Laya Robinson.

58
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: She has affaired before the crown heads of Europe in

59
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:55,240
honors uswear the presence tonight by special appointment to her Majesty,

60
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:03,439
the Queen of Anger, Ladies and gentlemen, Henry Ver and

61
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:16,519
Lynn Lady Miss Hulada Robinson. For her first recitation, Miss

62
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:20,560
Robinson will give us a scene from William Shakespeare's play

63
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:29,079
Romeo and Juliet.

64
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,399
Speaker 7: Thou knowest the mask of night is on my feet?

65
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 8: Else would a maiden blush be paint my cheek for

66
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,920
that which thou hast heard me speek tonight seen?

67
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: Would I dwell on all?

68
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: She was in her late thirties, not a good actress,

69
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,160
not even beautiful, but her manner, the dignity of carriage,

70
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,199
created an illusion of beauty which captivated her audience. She

71
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,279
remained on the stage for a solid hour, and by

72
00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:10,720
the time she was finished, I could see that every

73
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:13,879
man in that saloon was completely taken by her, and

74
00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:16,360
more than one imagined himself to be hopelessly in love.

75
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,759
Speaker 4: Boy, Now that's what I call a woman. Hey, where

76
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:31,279
are you going?

77
00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: I want to meet her?

78
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:33,199
Speaker 7: Who goes?

79
00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:36,319
Speaker 4: They fire away?

80
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: Mister Skinnerta. My name is Kendall, right by ten cano. Yes,

81
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,639

00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're in one hundred more les.

83
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: Play down now.

84
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:49,839

Speaker 2: That's real culture?

87
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:56,399
Speaker 7: Huh?

88
00:05:56,759 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: She's why to success? She sure is? What paper do

89
00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:02,399
you you write for? London Times? Well that's so well,

90
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:03,959
Miss Robinson got a kick out of that, you and

91
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:10,319
her both coming from England. Yes, oh that was just fine,

92
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,040
Miss Robinson, real fine. Say this, mister Kendall, he writes

93
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:13,800
on the London Time.

94
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:17,439
Speaker 7: Mister Kendall, how do you do nil it? My business

95
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:18,600

96
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: Are you Grimes? I guess you folks have plenty to

97
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:23,439
talk about. I'll go on back and get the boys

98
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,399
quiet down. Virginia sitting never heard anything like you gave

99
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,439
us to night, Miss Robinson?

100
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 4: Thank you, No, I'll see you later.

101
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 7: Why don't you sit down, mister Kendall.

102
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Uh, Kendall, you've got identification of something

103
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,439
proving you're a correspondent. Not on me.

104
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 7: No, I didn't think it really matters.

105
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: Well it does to me, you know what I mean, Kendall.

106
00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:51,000
Miss Robinson is popular. A lot of fellers like to

107
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,959
come bust me in and make any excuse, you know

108
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,720
what I mean. I got to watch out for her interests.

109
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:56,360
I understand.

110
00:06:56,519 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: And she's kind of tired right now.

111
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: Why don't you let it go to Lamara if you

112
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,720
would rather him, Miss Robinson?

113
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 7: No, not at all.

114
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 5: I'd rather enjoy being interviewed tonight.

115
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: And I say it's not a good idea.

116
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,759
Speaker 7: You're being extremely rude.

117
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: Gent.

118
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,079
Speaker 7: Perhaps you'd care to take supper with me, mister Kendall.

119
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,439
Speaker 2: Why i'd be delight No, no, no, no, she's not gone.

120
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,639
Speaker 7: I hope you'll forgive you, mister Kendall. He thinks that

121
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,079
every man who looks at me is thinking dire and drinks.

122
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: My intentions are completely honorable, mister Grimes. Lately, I do

123
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:29,480
want to.

124
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 7: Discuss it anymore.

125
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:30,519
Speaker 8: Jane.

126
00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 7: Now both of you please wait outside and exchange my clothes.

127
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,439
I shan't be alone, Miss Kendall.

128
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Uh, listen, Kendle. I'm sorry I acted the way I did.

129
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,759
But if I don't keep an eye, I don't nobody's

130
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,959
going to you know what I mean? I think so,

131
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:55,040
I mean nothing personal, but as her business manager, I've

132
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,560
got to take care of things. She gets awful tired

133
00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:00,879
traveling around this way. Best thing for her right now

134
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,040
is to go back to the hotel and get some sleep.

135
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,319
As a business manager, Miss Grimes, I should think you'd

136
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:09,079
be happy to have a newspaper interview. Sure, sure I am, But.

137
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:11,759
Speaker 9: You know how these actresses are. They're like kids.

138
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,199
Speaker 2: They don't even know what's good for them.

139
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: I hadn't been away.

140
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:17,879
Speaker 2: They'll take my word for it, So you go on ahead.

141
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: Now.

142
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:19,959
Speaker 2: I'll tell her you see her tomorrow.

143
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:22,639
Speaker 1: Under the second instances, I'm afraid she'd think it was

144
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,759
rather a polite don't you. Why not wait until she

145
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:30,879
comes out all right, we'll make it tonight and Ie

146
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:33,879
quiet super at the hotel. Three of us. It's the Grimes.

147
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,440
I get the distinct impression that, for some reason or other,

148
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:39,840
you don't want me to be alone with miss Robinson.

149
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,519
Am I right? I'm her business man, so you said,

150
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:47,440
And she doesn't talk to anyone unless I'm around. Strange.

151
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,960
I got the impression that she didn't want you around.

152
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:51,159
Speaker 6: I don't care what you think.

153
00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm coming along.

154
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 7: If you don't like it, no it or that I

155
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,159
didn't take long, did it? Are we ready, mister Kendall.

156
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: Yes, lately, you're going back to.

157
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,279
Speaker 7: The Good night, James. I'll see you in the morning.

158
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: We walked down the street to the hotel. She talked

159
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,159
about some of her experiences in the territory rather nervously,

160
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,279
I thought, seeming almost deliberately to avoid her background of

161
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,519
successes in England. I ordered champagne with dinner, and I

162
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,039
could see that, rather than making her feel more at ease,

163
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,279
the drink only increased her anxiety.

164
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 7: I've read James is right, mister Kendall.

165
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 5: I must be tired.

166
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 7: Champagne makes me feel quite pretty, but I will have

167
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,279
just a tiny drop more.

168
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 6: Of course, you know James is very angry with me.

169
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: I gathered that.

170
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,919
Speaker 7: He said, jealous man. You wouldn't think so, would you?

171
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: What he is? I don't think I blame him.

172
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 7: He has no reason to be. We're really a business associates.

173
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,039
It's not as though we were married or anything. James

174
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,440
doesn't believe in marriage, she says, it's gets one.

175
00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: Do you think so?

176
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 7: I don't know. I've never been married. My work hasn't

177
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,360
allowed for it.

178
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: Did you meet Rhymes in England? Oh?

179
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 5: No, No, that was in Boston.

180
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:12,279
Speaker 7: He saw me perform and asked to represent my interests.

181
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,159
Speaker 5: I see you'll be very angry about this me being

182
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:17,120
with you tonight.

183
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:19,919
Speaker 1: May I ask you something?

184
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 7: Please?

185
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: Why are you afraid of him?

186
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 7: Afraid afraid of Jim? How utterly ridiculous?

187
00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 5: Does it true?

188
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:31,879
Speaker 3: So?

189
00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:32,799
Speaker 5: Very clearly?

190
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Yes?

191
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 7: May I have some more empty? You know I'm not

192
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:46,360
English doing too?

193
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 6: Yes?

194
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,159
Speaker 5: I never played with Henry Irving, never saw England, never

195
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,720
did any.

196
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,759
Speaker 7: Of the things they say I did.

197
00:10:55,519 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: I didn't think so.

198
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 7: My appointment to her Majesty James, that sounded fine. You

199
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,600
took it from a bottle of Scotch whiskey. Do you

200
00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:07,679
know what I am, mister Kendall.

201
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,279
Speaker 5: I'm a liar. My whole life is a lie.

202
00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 7: I'm not even a good actress.

203
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,399
Speaker 1: I was completely charmed by your performance.

204
00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 7: How sweet, how gentlemanly and nice you are.

205
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 5: Mister Kendall.

206
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:36,799
Speaker 7: You're terribly attractive. You're the most attractive man I've ever met. No, no,

207
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,639
that's not true. My husband was the most attractive man.

208
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:45,519
You see. I lied about that too.

209
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: You are married, I was.

210
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,919
Speaker 7: James is always afraid I'll tell someone why, Well, the

211
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:58,919
the marriage didn't end very nicely.

212
00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: Why do you tell me.

213
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:05,639
Speaker 5: Too much?

214
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:06,039
Speaker 4: Empty?

215
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,919
Speaker 1: Hmm, I don't think so.

216
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 7: I'm tired. Then I wish I could cry, do you know,

217
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,320
mister Kendall. I haven't been able to cry for.

218
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 5: Three years, and there are so many kids.

219
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: The shots had come from outside. Just for a moment.

220
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:33,519
I saw a shadowy figure at the broken window, and

221
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:36,919
there was dne in the night. Miss Robinson was lying

222
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,559
on the floor. A thin line of blood ran from

223
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,840
the corner of the mouth. She was unconscious.

224
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,879
Speaker 2: In a moment, we returned to Frontier Gentlemen Today on

00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:41,559
few minutes.

236
00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 6: Oh, she doesn't look good.

237
00:13:47,799 --> 00:13:53,399
Speaker 1: I think the bleeding stumped boys, damnus lunar mad words

239
00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:59,759
ease him down, mister Skinner was was mister Grimes there

240
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,080
and see him? Uh? I just wondered. I guess he

241
00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:04,519
ought to be tolds he's staying down in the Nugget Hotel. Yes,

242
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,279
it might be a good idea.

243
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,519
Speaker 9: I I'll go on down myself.

244
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: Now. Listen, mister Kendall. If there's anything she needs you

Speaker 2: You just say the word, right, I'll be back.

248
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,279
Speaker 5: What a strange feeling miss Robinson, no pain at all.

249
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:25,639
Speaker 7: I've always thought there would be.

250
00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:27,519
Speaker 1: The doctor is coming.

251
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 5: I don't really mind, you know, don't talk funny.

252
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 7: I never believed him. He always set to do something

253
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:37,440
like this.

254
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 9: Doctor, God, where's the wound? Please?

255
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: Oh?

256
00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 9: Have I kind of they wait outside.

257
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: Sir, Yes, Dave Skinner told me to wait. What's the doc? Say?

258
00:14:57,919 --> 00:15:02,120
Nothing yet? I'd sure like to get my hands on

259
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,600
that fella, don't it. Mm I imagine a lot of

260
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:11,200
us wouldn't. She's a lady, a fine lady, not like

261
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,320
them hurdy gurdies around here. It don't matter one of

262
00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:15,879
them stops a piece of lad.

263
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 9: She real bad, hurt pretty bad.

264
00:15:21,919 --> 00:15:24,919
Speaker 2: And you figure it with some crazy, liquored up some gun,

265
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,240
don't you.

266
00:15:25,399 --> 00:15:27,399
Speaker 1: I I don't know if she was drunk or not.

267
00:15:27,879 --> 00:15:30,320
I uh, I mean the fellas would come to see

268
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,759
how the lady is. We don't know yet. There's more downstairs.

269
00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:36,399
We just wanted to know. We're gonna get the son

270
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,600
of a gun. The dray gofs to doctor Todd, come here,

271
00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:43,200
he's in there now. Well you get this. There's three

272
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:46,200
hundred dollars a better gold dust than that. You tell doc?

273
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,639
He pulls her through. He'll get another legged. The boys

274
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,480
wanted to know they're with her here is I'll tell

275
00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:53,679
her you do that.

276
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:57,159
Speaker 7: That.

277
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,159
Speaker 9: I got a couple of dollars that goes for me too.

278
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: Give it to the dock. I will.

279
00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:10,159
Speaker 9: I can't up very God, she's lost too much blood.

280
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,480
She's gonna be all right. Don't ask fool questions. Boy,

281
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:14,320
I'm not God.

282
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,879
Speaker 1: All right now she's asleep. Well you're here, kindle, aren't you. Yes,

283
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:22,679
it's lucky for her you were around. If she lost

284
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,159
any more blood, she'd be dead. Well, you might as

285
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:34,000
well get some shit. I I'll stay with her. I

286
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:37,159
left the hotel and went out into the street. There

287
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,000
were fifty or sixty men standing about quietly and waiting.

288
00:16:42,039 --> 00:16:44,759
I told them all that I knew. Then I saw

289
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,240
missus Skimmer hurrying up. He motioned to me, and we

290
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:54,519
walked away from the crowd. Grimes couldn't find it. Oh,

291
00:16:54,879 --> 00:16:57,480
hotel clerks said he hadn't seen him all night. I've

292
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,960
been thinking, is there something wrong between the to I

293
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,519
heard argument this afternoon her dressing room over at the saloon.

294
00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:05,680
I didn't think anything of it then, but with this

295
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,039
I think we'd better find him. Mister Skinner, he did it.

296
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,720
I don't know, but it's possible. I get some of

297
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,759
the boys. No, it's matter.

298
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:16,839
Speaker 2: You're a friend of his, you're trying to protect him,

299
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:17,480
neither one.

300
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: But all they need is an excuse. If they even

301
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,559
suspect someone, they'll hang him. I prefer things more legal.

302
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,319
Speaker 2: He's a killer.

303
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: We've had that time before in Virginia, said, Robinson is

304
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,759
not dead now, but I suggest it is that you've

305
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:31,079
talked to some of the men who want likely to

306
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,839
take matters into their own hands. Tell him we're trying

307
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,000
to find crimes. If he doesn't know what's happened to

308
00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:38,759
miss Robinson, they can bring him back here then what.

309
00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:43,319
We'll let the sheriff handle it, all right, But I'll

310
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,279
tell you, Candle, if he puts up a fight, I

311
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:45,960
want to be there.

312
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: It'll be a pleasure to shoot him.

313
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: The search began. At first, only a handful picked by

314
00:17:56,279 --> 00:17:59,240
Skinner knew what they were looking for, but the words spread,

315
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,240
and with it rumor Grimes with the man Grimes had

316
00:18:03,319 --> 00:18:06,160
done it. In an hour, every man who knew or

317
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,640
cared about what had happened was a hunter the quarry

318
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,920
and isn't got guilty was James Grimes, and it was

319
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,279
obvious that, if found, he'd had very little chance of

320
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,720
standing triumph. At about three o'clock in the morning, I

321
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:23,359
returned to Miss Robinson's room and he changed, doctor.

322
00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 9: Love, they get the fellow who did it?

323
00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: Not yet?

324
00:18:28,039 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 9: Makes you wonder? Doesn't it have come a man who

325
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,279
want to kill.

326
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:31,799
Speaker 2: A woman like this?

327
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 9: She's the way I remember a woman should be.

328
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: Why don't you get a cup of coffee?

329
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 6: Doctor.

330
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,279
Speaker 1: I'll stay with her until you come back.

331
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, think we'll close, Stretch my legs a minute.

332
00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:57,519
Speaker 6: Burn it around, it'll go move.

333
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,839
Speaker 1: You look a little worse for where it rhymes.

334
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 9: They are after me.

335
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: They're trying to kill me.

336
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,079
Speaker 1: Any reason why they shouldn't.

337
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 9: Is she dead?

338
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 3: No?

339
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: I wonder I've been warning or what had happened? For

340
00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:15,440
the wear the gun and get myself killed. He'll be

341
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,559
safer with me. The mom about you, Oh, you're the trouble,

342
00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:22,119
the reason for everything. It's been men like you everywhere

343
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,440
we go, every town.

344
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 5: She has to find someone.

345
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:26,759
Speaker 9: I want.

346
00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:28,279
Speaker 2: I told her I wasn't going to stand at me long.

347
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,319
Speaker 1: And I heard a different reason, a different reason. What

348
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,759
did she tell you about her husband? An I'm happy marriage.

349
00:19:35,839 --> 00:19:38,599
Speaker 2: She said that told you about her husband.

350
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: Yes, you want to know what really happened. She had

351
00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:45,680
a husband all right in Boston. I didn't know it

352
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:48,799
at the time I met her and fell in love.

353
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,319
Speaker 2: She went away with me after we were married.

354
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: She told me she she is your wife.

355
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,319
Speaker 2: Surprising look at her.

356
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,759
Speaker 1: It's another one of her little ways. She thinks it's

357
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,039
better if people don't know. She thinks.

358
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,079
Speaker 9: I don't know why she wants it that way.

359
00:20:15,519 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: I guess you could say we killed her husband. He

360
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,119
committed suicide after she left him. Oh, y, you don't know.

361
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 9: You don't know what it's been like.

362
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,319
Speaker 1: But I told her what i'd do if she want

363
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:31,680
after another man. I'm sorry, man, it doesn't matter anymore.

364
00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:36,680
I hope she dies, and I wanted to feel these things.

365
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:40,759
If she dies, they'll hang you. H m hm.

366
00:20:42,319 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 9: Jeans lately.

367
00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:48,519
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Lay.

368
00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:53,039
Speaker 7: Such a jealous boy. I never mean anything.

369
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: No, don't lamely.

370
00:20:55,759 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 5: I like to shirt.

371
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 7: That's all a woman to flirt. It doesn't mean an

372
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:05,920
Mister Kendall knows that if.

373
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,079
Speaker 9: You stop acting even now, can't you.

374
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 7: Stop listening to you? Mister Kendall, have you been telling

375
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:21,920
you what a terrible woman I am. I suppose it's true,

376
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:25,240
but you're not.

377
00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 5: Much love a man, James.

378
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,079
Speaker 1: Really, you don't have to listen to this crime still,

379
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,880
I'm outside, Bill. No, you don't give me that lady,

380
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:48,000
she's dead.

381
00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 2: Give me my gun.

382
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: I can't. You don't get a trial. Perhaps you'll understand

383
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,519
there'll be no trial. Nomes come back to bride Climes.

384
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 2: I think I was rather.

385
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,599
Speaker 1: Glad I hadn't stopped Grimes when he went through the window.

386
00:22:17,079 --> 00:22:20,240
They killed him. But in this case, perhaps it was

387
00:22:20,319 --> 00:22:25,359
better than a public trial and hanging. Miss Uladia Robinson

388
00:22:25,759 --> 00:22:29,440
and James Grimes were buried side by side in Virginia City,

389
