The railroad takes 294 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.000 up thousands of tickets every day. 295 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:49.519 I know they do, but each one of them is 296 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:53.039 handled and audited individually. If we can trace the ones 297 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:55.480 these two men used for their passages Spirit Lake, we 298 00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.679 might know where they came from. That's a big step 299 00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.519 in the investigation. 300 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.600 Answer that But suppose they change trains at the mineer someplace, 301 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:04.559 then where are we. 302 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.200 If they bought their tickets through the Spirit Lake when 303 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.000 they left home, it doesn't make any difference how many 304 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:11.480 times they change. The stamp of the originating office is 305 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.600 on the back. If the railroad can locate those tickets, 306 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:15.559 we've got a chance. 307 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:20.639 That's right. Maybe you've got something, Sheriff, it's all we've got. 308 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.039 Where have you, ben? Will? You had me worried? 309 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.519 The Quincy cops might still be looking for you on 310 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:30.799 account of that hardware store. 311 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:32.080 Just over to see Angie? 312 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:35.320 But I thought I told you to stay away from her. 313 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.799 She's been widowed twice and proposes to make you number three. 314 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:43.600 I asked her to marry me. Pop, You what Angie 315 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.600 and I are going to get married?

Pop, You got me in trouble all my life. 318 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:54.320 Listening to you. Steal is steal. That will't turn me 319 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.080 loose power, My boy?

I wouldn't have killed nobody. 328 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.440 You didn't even do a good job with that. I 329 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.359 told you to kill her. You messed it up.
