60
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,959
Speaker 4: For hardy ranger. I'm Sheriff tax howdy, my name's Jace Pearson.

61
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: Come on, I'll show you at the house, or what's

62
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:35,759
Speaker 4: left of it. All right, folks, step back, please, shouldn't

63
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,199
Speaker 4: have all these people walking around here, Sheriff ruin any

64
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:40,519
Speaker 4: footprints there might be. I had my deputy here at

65
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 4: least a few minutes ago, Pearson, I send him down

66
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 4: to get some coffee here. All right, folks, step back

67
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 4: away from the house, all of you. I'll get back

68
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 4: to the fan. Please. All burned out except for the wall,

69
00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: but you may find something you said when you called

70
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:57,199
Speaker 4: you didn't think it was an accident. I've been sheriff

71
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: here for eighteen years and I'll stake my reputation here.

72
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 4: It was it was ours to cover murder. Base that

73
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 4: on the autopsy yep. Coroner couldn't find any trace of

74
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,639
Speaker 4: the carbon daniels in the bronchial passages or lungs, and

75
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 4: only the normal amount of carbon monoxide in the lone, indicating.

76
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:15,879
Speaker 5: Milk Thomas wasn't breathing when the fire started.

77
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 4: Right, this was the front door burned off the hinges

78
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:27,639
Speaker 4: and fell off. That's funny. But a lock on this

79
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 4: door special kind takes a key on both sides. When

80
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: the door's shut, you have to have a key to

81
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,439
Speaker 4: get out of the house as well as in Oh that, yeah,

82
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:38,759
Speaker 4: milk was a funny. Old Gluop had them put on

83
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,639
Speaker 4: both doors. The windows had trick locks too. Why well,

84
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,399
Speaker 4: folks say, kept a lot of money.

85
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 5: In the house.

86
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,959
Speaker 4: Maybe just a story. This lock's still working. Let's look

87
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:57,199
Speaker 4: at the back door. Oh, here's what's left. The milk's

88
00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:59,959
Speaker 4: whole iron safe open like that when you found it.

89
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:04,199
Speaker 4: Yeap empty too, And this lock's not forced or broken.

90
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,439
Speaker 4: Kind of hard to tell much about anything after the

91
00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: roofs felling. Yeah, it's a mess, all right, same kind

92
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: of lock here on the back door.

93
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 5: It's working too.

94
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,319
Speaker 4: Meaning whoever started the fire was locked in. I look here,

95
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 4: whoever it was, here's where he went out. See that

96
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:32,399
Speaker 4: window glass outside on the ground. Climb out and look

97
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,639
Speaker 4: see he didn't break it. It's not crazed. It was

98
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 4: knocked out from inside. And do you think the killer

99
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: was trapped inside? Could have been after he set fire

100
00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:49,199
Speaker 4: to the place. How about footprints, sheriff, there's thousands of

101
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,199
Speaker 4: volunteer firemen tramps around Alder and the fire.

102
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:53,879
Speaker 5: Wait, wait, here's something.

103
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 10: Huh looks like a spur row.

104
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,199
Speaker 4: Exactly what it is? Broken off a spur right low

105
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:03,199
Speaker 4: where the window was. Maybe he busted off by a

106
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 4: man jumping out the window with his tail feathers unfair?

107
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,879
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't envy an unpeershon. I'll come well as

108
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:14,959
Speaker 4: a clue. The spur row is probably mighty important.

109
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,399
Speaker 5: But what, Sheriff, I was just thinking.

110
00:07:18,879 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: There probably ain't over ten million spurs in the state

111
00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: of Texas with rowles just like the one you got

112
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,399
Speaker 4: there in your hand. Your figure may be a little high, Sheriff,

113
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 4: But I get your point. He said, Hey, Jack, Yeah,

114
00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:35,839
Speaker 4: what do you think you're doing? Jack? What's the matter, Sheriff?

115
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:38,519
Speaker 4: You know, darn well, what's the matter? I told you

116
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,879
Speaker 4: to keep back. I was just looking around. I'll stop

117
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,959
Speaker 4: kicking around. Those ashes and the rest of you. That's

118
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:46,639
Speaker 4: evidence you're tramping on. We didn't mean no harm. I'll

119
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: listen all of you, So last time, I'm going to

120
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 4: tell you, how'd you like it if we thought one

121
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,959
Speaker 4: of you was the criminal coming back to the scene

122
00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: of the crime and deliberately trying to destroy evidence? Okay,

123
00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: then get back or get off the property. All the

124
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: guy books say that's generally not true. Sheriff, Huh about

125
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 4: the criminal and the scene of the crime happens only

126
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,839
Speaker 4: once in a thousand times.

127
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:10,759
Speaker 5: Oh, I know it.

128
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,399
Speaker 4: I just want to throw a scare into him. I see. Oh,

129
00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 4: by the way, who was that fellow you were talking

130
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: to him? It names Casey, Jack Casey. The sheriff and

131
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 4: I went over the yard thoroughly that any footprints the

132
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,639
Speaker 4: murderer might have left were trampled out by the fireman

133
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,279
Speaker 4: and the onlookers. Finally, some distance from the house, I

134
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 4: found the place I was looking for, Sheriff. Huh, I'm

135
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 4: over here.

136
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 7: What is it?

137
00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: Look here's where he took off from hoof. Prince dug

138
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:55,879
Speaker 4: out in an awful hurry too, and his horse tethered

139
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:58,399
Speaker 4: to this tree. Seems to me any man who had

140
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,039
Speaker 4: legitimate business at the house would have night up closer. Yeah,

141
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:01,919
Speaker 4: that's logical.

142
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 5: Look here, horse chewed on the tree. Might be a quibber.

143
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 4: We find our man will likely find a horse that

144
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:13,279
Speaker 4: chews on his feed. Bend. See these tracks head west

145
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:16,799
Speaker 4: towards Snake Creek. You got a horse, sheriff, I can

146
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:17,639
Speaker 4: get one good.

147
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,519
Speaker 5: I'll get mine out of the trailer.

148
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:37,039
Speaker 4: We're gonna follow those hoof prints. Hold a sheriff, keep

149
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: your horse off that bank. Why what's the mass bootprints?

150
00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 4: Good fresh ones? I thought for a many gypsy anda moccasin.

151
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 4: This stream's full of cotton. I'll take my kit make

152
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 4: some flaster molds of these prints. He dismounted here and

153
00:09:57,639 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 4: let his horse across. Yeah, probably afraid of slip on

154
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 4: those flat moussy rocks and small foot about size seven

155
00:10:04,759 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 4: or eight, i'd say on track pattern too. Not likely

156
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,279
Speaker 4: he was toting a heavy load. Probably a fat man.

157
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 5: Fat?

158
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,360

Speaker 4: Thomas the exact he thinks I did.

217
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 5: Oh, you seem to know some of the answers.

218
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 4: Some of them. Before we go, Ranger, I'd like to

219
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 4: ask you one question. Sure, what time did this so

220
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,039
Speaker 4: called murder take place?

221
00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:37,639
Speaker 5: About ten o'clock last night?

222
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 4: Ten o'clock. Well, that's the handles Martin. Suppose I can

223
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,639
Speaker 4: prove where it was last night. We're just as anxious

224
00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 4: to prove a man innocent as guilty.

225
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 5: Casey, do you have any witnesses?

226
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,639
Speaker 4: About three hundred of them? At ten o'clock last night,

227
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 4: I was sitting in the Cranston High School auditorium watching

228
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,639
Speaker 4: my niece graduate.

229
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 3: In just a moment, we continue with Tales of the

230
00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:19,519
Speaker 3: Texas Rangers, starring Joel McCrae as Ranger Jase Pearson.

231
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 4: If a man rides herd on one hundred head of

232
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: cattle all day, first he needs his wheaties. Yes. And

233
00:14:25,639 --> 00:14:27,879
Speaker 4: if a man sits behind a big desk and pushes

234
00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: buttons on his job, first, he needs his wheaties. And listen, Mamma,

235
00:14:32,159 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 4: you too, if you keep track of a couple of

236
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: growing up kids, and wash dishes and make beds.

237
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 5: On your job.

238
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 4: First, you need your wheaties jump whatever your job, wherever

239
00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:45,159
Speaker 4: you work, wheaties can help, whether you run a machine,

240
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,519
Speaker 4: or pound a typewriter or play baseball for a living. First,

241
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 4: you need your wheaties because here is whole wheat, with

242
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 4: the rich, full bodied energy of whole wheat. There's a

243
00:14:56,879 --> 00:15:00,799
Speaker 4: whole kernel of wheat in every wheati's flake. That's why

244
00:15:00,799 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 4: wheaties give so much. Vitamins, minerals, protein. Wheaties have them,

245
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 4: and they're for you. Pour the wheaties into the cereal bowl,

246
00:15:09,879 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 4: add the milk, add the fruit, and dig right in.

247
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,399
Speaker 4: Do that at seven and see how much better you're

248
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 4: working when eleven a m rolls around. Yes, try em

249
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,799
Speaker 4: every morning, crisp and tempting, and see if I'm not right.

250
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 4: See if a better breakfast with the whole wheat nourishment

251
00:15:25,399 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 4: of wheaties doesn't make a pleasant difference in your morning's work.

252
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 4: See if milk fruit wheaties isn't honest and truly breakfast

253
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:39,279
Speaker 4: of champions. See yourself how wheaties at seven can help

254
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 4: At eleven, Casey stuck to the alibi that he'd been

255
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,639
Speaker 4: at the graduation the night before, and I already had

256
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,559
Speaker 4: enough evidence to take him in. While the sheriff was

257
00:15:56,559 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 4: out asking questions around town, I tried to break down

258
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,679
Speaker 4: Casey's star. I tell you I was there, all right,

259
00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 4: Take it easy, Casey.

260
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,559
Speaker 5: Let's assume for a minute you were.

261
00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:07,679
Speaker 4: And how do you count for the boot prints made

262
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,159
Speaker 4: by your boots and found near the scene of the crime.

263
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 4: Lots of people wear boots. Could have been anybody, I'm

264
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 4: afraid not.

265
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 5: You see.

266
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: I made plaster cast of those prints, and the boots,

267
00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 4: the ones you admitted were yours, matched the prince to

268
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 4: the last nailmark. Well, I've tramped around this part of

269
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 4: the country a lot of times.

270
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,799
Speaker 5: They could have been old prince. Huh huhm.

271
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: These were fresh prints. Well, what about it?

272
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,759
Speaker 5: I don't know? All right? Then?

273
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 4: What about the row we found just outside Thomas House,

274
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:40,399
Speaker 4: one broken off your spur? I don't know anything about

275
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,919
Speaker 4: that either. There's no point in withholding information, Casey. You

276
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,399
Speaker 4: know we'll find out about it sooner or later. How

277
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:50,879
Speaker 4: you doing, Pierson? Casey decided to come too, aunt? Ye?

278
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 5: What about the niche sheriff.

279
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,799
Speaker 4: The neighbors say she and her family left on a

280
00:16:54,879 --> 00:16:56,279
Speaker 4: vacation early this morning.

281
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 5: You know anything about that, Casey.

282
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:03,879
Speaker 4: No, too bad, because I've had several interesting chests. Casey.

283
00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 4: I've just talked to four people who were at the

284
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,039
Speaker 4: graduation exercise last night, four people who know you, and

285
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,599
Speaker 4: not one of them remember seeing you there. I was

286
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 4: at the high school last night, I tell you, Casey.

287
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 4: The Sheriff's talked to four people who didn't see you. Well,

288
00:17:19,279 --> 00:17:19,759
Speaker 4: who did?

289
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 5: I don't know?

290
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,279
Speaker 4: Were dark in the auditorium. Didn't you speak to anybody?

291
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,759
Speaker 4: No thing had already started. And wait a minute, yeah,

292
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,759
Speaker 4: I talked to one of the ushers.

293
00:17:31,839 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 5: What was his name?

294
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: Wasn't it him? It was to her one of the

295
00:17:35,799 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 4: high school girls. He was wearing a long pink dress. Sheriff,

296
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,039
Speaker 4: who's the principal of the high school? Mister shot Warren? Shot?

297
00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 5: All right? Locked, Casey.

298
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 4: Up, I'm going to find out who the ushers were,

299
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,519
Speaker 4: and especially the little girl with a long pink dress.

300
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 11: Why why, Yes, sir, I remember mister Casey being there

301
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 11: with missus Casey.

302
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 4: Are you sure, Elma, this is very important?

303
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:11,319
Speaker 2: Sure?

304
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 11: I'm sure they came in late and had to wait

305
00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 11: until the invocation was over, and then he asked for

306
00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:20,559
Speaker 11: an Aisle'll see he said he couldn't climb over people.

307
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 4: Well, you know, yeah, I know. And he didn't leave

308
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,839
Speaker 4: at any time during the exercises.

309
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 7: Not until near the end.

310
00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:33,519
Speaker 11: They left just before the recessional while everybody was standing

311
00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 11: and singing the class song.

312
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:35,759
Speaker 5: What time was that?

313
00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:39,559
Speaker 1: Oh a few minutes before eleven?

314
00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 4: Oh?

315
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 5: Thank you very much? Good bye.

316
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 4: Was I any help, Ranger?

317
00:18:46,039 --> 00:18:58,519
Speaker 5: Yes, Lma, you were a big help. I was stuck.

318
00:18:58,839 --> 00:19:00,799
Speaker 4: It looked like I was gonna have to release Casey,

319
00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 4: and I remembered something. The phone call that came in

320
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 4: while I was out at Casey's place, the one he'd

321
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 4: been reluctant to answer. I dropped by the Cranston telephone office.

322
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 4: This is the call you wanted, Ranger. What was it?

323
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: Mister Jack Casey placed a call to the Della Sawmill

324
00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: Company in Money, Texas at two twenty two pm today.

325
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: There was no answer, and when the money operator did

326
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: get through, she called back at three forty, but mister

327
00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: Casey had canceled it.

328
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 5: Do you know who the call was for?

329
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,559
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, it was person to person of mister Ben Casey.

330
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: Ben Casey, mister Jack Casey's son son.

331
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 5: But do you know him?

332
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 4: I used to when well, we went to high school together.

333
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,039
Speaker 1: Some of my girlfriends and I used to go places

334
00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:46,799
Speaker 1: with Ben's bunch, but my mother made me stop. She

335
00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: said he wasn't the kind of boy that girl should

336
00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:49,319
Speaker 1: run around with.

337
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:50,799
Speaker 5: I see, and.

338
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:54,279
Speaker 1: He finally left home. Couldn't get along with his stepmother.

339
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:57,319
Speaker 4: Oh then missus Casey's not his mother. Oh no, ranger.

340
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 4: They used to fight all go on.

341
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 5: This may be very important.

342
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,799
Speaker 1: Well, I heard that she and Ben fought all the time,

343
00:20:05,839 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: and then one day after they had a big fight,

344
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: Ben packed up and left.

345
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 5: Well when was this?

346
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 4: I reckon It was a couple of years ago.

347
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: He went down to Monee then and got a job

348
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: at that sawmill there.

349
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 5: What does this Ben look like?

350
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: He's a spitting image of his father and Justice fat too.

351
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 5: Have you seen him lately?

352
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: I saw him at the bus station. His father came

353
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 4: and picked him up.

354
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: When let's see day before yesterday, Friday.

355
00:20:43,079 --> 00:20:45,799
Speaker 4: There was no doubt now why Jack Casey wasn't talking.

356
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:48,799
Speaker 4: He was protecting his own son. I put a call

357
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 4: through to missus Casey and met her at the Sheriff's office.

358
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 7: I ain't saying this because he ain't my flesh and

359
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 7: blood ranger. But Ben's bad through and through. I might

360
00:20:58,039 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 7: have known he was the one killed Milk.

361
00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:03,759
Speaker 4: Tom Us Uh, missus Casey, tell me about Ben.

362
00:21:04,319 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 5: He came in Friday, didn't he.

363
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, come in on the bus and stayed over Saturday.

364
00:21:08,839 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 7: He wanted to borrow money. He's always broke gambles.

365
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 5: That's right.

366
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,279
Speaker 4: Pearson picked him up a couple of times for gambling.

367
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 5: Go on, miss Casey.

368
00:21:16,599 --> 00:21:19,319
Speaker 7: Well, like I say, he wanted to borrow fifty dollars

369
00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 7: from Jack, but Jack didn't have it. He just paid

370
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 7: off a note to Milk Thomas, and he was kind

371
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:24,519
Speaker 7: of strapped.

372
00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:26,519
Speaker 5: Oh, your husband owed Thomas money.

373
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,079
Speaker 7: Yes, but it was the last payment. Jack was joking

374
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:32,759
Speaker 7: about how Thomas always wanted cash money, didn't trust Jacks.

375
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,079
Speaker 5: Did Ben hear him say this?

376
00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:37,559
Speaker 7: He sure did, Sheriff. And then he sucked around all

377
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,599
Speaker 7: day Saturday until we was getting ready to go to

378
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 7: the commencement that night. And just before we left, he

379
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 7: said he was going to use Jack's.

380
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,519
Speaker 4: Horse to go for a ride at night.

381
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:50,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, seems strange to me too, And then he asked

382
00:21:50,319 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 7: could he borrow a pair of Jack's boots. He was

383
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,039
Speaker 7: wearing flatteel shoes.

384
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 4: They wear the same size, oh have ever since I

385
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 4: can remember. Well.

386
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 7: Anyway, we went onto the grind graduation, and when we

387
00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 7: got home, the mayor was in the barn, still saddled,

388
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,519
Speaker 7: all sweaty. Look I she'd been run almost to death,

389
00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 7: and Jack's boots were tossed on the floor, and Ben

390
00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 7: was gone.

391
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,079
Speaker 4: All right, miss Kasey, that's all for now, and thanks,

392
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,519
Speaker 4: you're welcome. Come on, sheriff, we're going on a little trip.

393
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,759
Speaker 4: Sheriff taxon and I piled into my car and headed

394
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 4: for Monee. As soon as we got out on the highway,

395
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 4: I put in a call to my headquarters, Unit ten

396
00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: to KTXA, Unit ten to KTXA, KTXA to Unit ten,

Speaker 4: Delta Sawmill. We'll keep KTXA informed. Unit ten ten to four.

400
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 5: Okay, kt x A bustin. You know young Casey by sight,

00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 5: don't you washed him?

402
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,319
Speaker 4: Grow up good? If he's gone and we have to

403
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,799
Speaker 4: comb for him, I don't want to turn up the

404
00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:13,759
Speaker 4: wrong fat man again. Oh, you'd know him now after

405
00:23:13,799 --> 00:23:17,759
Speaker 4: seeing his father. Except for age. They're the same, you mean,

406
00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 4: except for age and the fact that the young one's

407
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:30,799
Speaker 4: a murderer. When we reached the sawmill, the moon was up.

408
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:31,839
Speaker 5: Afore moon.

409
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,839
Speaker 4: There was a light burning through the wind of one

410
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,039
Speaker 4: shack at the edge of the camp.

411
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 5: We pulled up there and got out of the car

412
00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:37,319
Speaker 5: and went in.

413
00:23:46,519 --> 00:23:49,839
Speaker 4: Well, how to range his share? We're looking for a

414
00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 4: man named Casey. Ben Casey, Yeah, you're on. I don't

Speaker 4: the line. Which bunk I'll show you if you lie fine, sheriff.

417
00:24:04,839 --> 00:24:06,519
Speaker 4: Maybe you better take a look through the mess hall.

418
00:24:06,839 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 4: Fat boy like him might be fixing a late snack.

419
00:24:09,759 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 4: If you don't find him, come up and meet me.

420
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,079
Speaker 4: And if you do find him, call me before you

421
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,839
Speaker 4: try and take him. Right bunk houses this way. No

422
00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 4: light in the place. Well, some of the boys was

423
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 4: going into town for moonlight dance. Don't know Ben went

424
00:24:25,519 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 4: with him or has he been packing any money that

425
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 4: you know of?

426
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:29,599
Speaker 5: Well?

427
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,519
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, come think of it. He had quite a bit,

428
00:24:34,319 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 4: said he hit it lucky in the dice game and

429
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 4: that Oh he did get it in the dice game.

430
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,799
Speaker 4: Didn't If he did, the other fellow never got a

431
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 4: chance to roll him.

432
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 5: Oh? Here, will I light this lamb for you? Ben

433
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,759
Speaker 5: sleeps in that third bunk on the right. Thanks. I'll

434
00:24:58,759 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 5: wait for him, all right.

435
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 4: I'll get back to my books and just entering the

436
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 4: shipment that's been hauled out tonight. That's why you found

437
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,599
Speaker 4: me working. Go ahead, but if you see Casey.

438
00:25:09,759 --> 00:25:10,799
Speaker 5: Don't mention I'm here.

439
00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:17,559
Speaker 4: The foreman went back to his shack and I ripped

440
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 4: Ben Casey's bunk apart. There was nothing in the bunk

441
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,599
Speaker 4: of the covering. I dragged a foot locker out from

442
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 4: underneath and was bending over it up with him. Don't

443
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 4: turn around there. What are you doing here? If you're

444
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 4: Ben Casey, you know what I'm doing. This is the

445
00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:35,279
Speaker 4: end of the road, boy, I'll take that landin.

446
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:37,839
Speaker 5: I'd be careful with that.

447
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 4: Ben. Remember what happened the last time you dropped the lantern.

448
00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:42,559
Speaker 4: You're pretty smart, ain't you?

449
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,039
Speaker 5: Mischief?

450
00:25:43,559 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 8: But I'm smart too. Here's a present for you.

451
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 4: The lantern at the edge of the bunk, and the

452
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 4: flaming kerosene splashed over me. I beat the flames off

453
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 4: of my hands and dope for the door. He rammed

454
00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:05,279
Speaker 4: something against the outside of it. When I forced it open,

455
00:26:05,319 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 4: I stumble over a heavy logged bench he used as

456
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,039
Speaker 4: a barricade.

457
00:26:09,599 --> 00:26:12,759
Speaker 9: Casey you see himself for somebody rut off that way

458
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,799
Speaker 9: for the rail side and let's go.

459
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 4: We spotted him swinging up the side of a flat cars.

460
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 4: The train hit the main line and started to roll.

461
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 4: We grabbed on to one of the last cars and

462
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 4: scrambled to the top and started to work our way forward.

463
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 4: There he is about five cars ahead.

464
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:35,599
Speaker 5: I can't see him.

465
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 4: Kerosene starts my eyes see us all right, he shoo

466
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,279
Speaker 4: prop flat. We'll crawl up on him. He can't go

467
00:26:42,319 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 4: any farther than the length of the train. There he goes,

468
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 4: he's jumping. I see him. I'm going after him.

469
00:26:48,440 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: I'm coming with you.

470
00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 4: Get down, sir, stop give me see nobody's close about

471
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,319
Speaker 4: ten yards in, not moving. Keep low. We're silhouetted. Good

472
00:27:13,319 --> 00:27:17,480
