Speaker 1: Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there
is just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.
And that's where the US Marshal and the smell of
gun smoke John will Spoil, starring William Conrad, The story
of the violence that moved west with young America, and
the story of a man who moved with it.
Speaker 2: I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall, the first
man they look for and the less they want to meet.
It's a chance, a job, and it makes a man
watchful and a little lonely.
Speaker 3: Mister Jill, and I bet this proves out to be
the hottiest day of the whole year.
Speaker 2: I think you're right, Chester.
Speaker 4: I stuffed my hat full of grays, but the sun's
still crying my Braine.
Speaker 2: I do want to check long now that Kate's ryaning
to just over with its Regis and Hank.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, I'm sorry. Bring you out in this weather, Marshall.
Speaker 2: Back home.
Speaker 5: We never brought it.
Speaker 4: The laws something like this always settle.
Speaker 2: It's personal that works out better this way, Hanky.
Speaker 5: Well, seeing how it grow over, Kate spiels about me.
Speaker 4: I mean, I reckon, you heard how.
Speaker 2: It was me and Alba before him and her got married.
He did the right thing, coming to me with a Hank.
Speaker 5: I just thought it wouldn't happen again. I'd forget about it, Marshall.
Speaker 2: But it's a third time now.
Speaker 5: Going and I can't afford that kind of a loss.
Speaker 2: There's no reason why you shouldn't.
Speaker 4: There's kate throw out of the environments, don't you?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: Don't see the boy around?
Speaker 2: No word at all or hates I have to do?
Did you let me handle it? I lot?
Speaker 6: Grover?
Speaker 1: How are you? Grover?
Speaker 4: You think you're doing here? Jerging?
Speaker 3: He's with me.
Speaker 2: I'm afraid it's not a social call. It's trying to
go over. I got some business with your son Eddie? Yeah?
Is he here?
Speaker 3: What kind of business do you have with a twelve
year old boy?
Speaker 2: Marshall? Didn't you buy Eddie one of those light Winchester
rifles a couple of years ago?
Speaker 4: What if I did?
Speaker 2: And it seems like he's been using that gun pretty
freely and shooting some of Hank's prize turkeys. Who said so,
I've seen him do it last time. That's a lie?
Speaker 4: What your tongue?
Speaker 3: And you get off my property? And that's enough both
of you.
Speaker 2: Marshall.
Speaker 4: There ain't a word of truth in it.
Speaker 3: My boy knows if he was to go do something
like that, I'd will the daylights out of it.
Speaker 2: I suppose we talk to him about it.
Speaker 3: Has nothing to talk about it because some turkey farmer
starts spreading lies around.
Speaker 5: I'm a patient man, Grover, but you stop by talk
about lying.
Speaker 4: Get off my property if you don't lie.
Speaker 2: Now what's that afterno? Miss Kates Marshall, Hey, are you well?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 4: She misses Kate's turkey farmer?
Speaker 3: And don't you forget it? You going back to the house. Armon,
He's don't concern you.
Speaker 2: You mean, what is it, Marshall, say as young and
he's been taking pot shots at Hank's turkeys.
Speaker 3: There ain't no truth in it, Alma. Now you stay
out of it, Grover. Let's see what the boy has
to say.
Speaker 4: I ain't gonna have a law pushing my young and around.
Speaker 2: The law's not doing to I just wanna talk to him. Now.
Where is he?
Speaker 4: He ain't here. I sent him into town over he
shut up.
Speaker 2: I think maybe he came back without you knowing about it. No,
he didn't. In fact, judging. But the way that dog
snipping around at the cracks, I think maybe he's right
there inside the barn listening to it.
Speaker 4: No, we ain't. I tell Robert this is.
Speaker 2: A matter of law, not a personal argument. Now you
quit staling around and you call him out. You gonna
call your boy out, Grover, I said, he ain't in there,
all right, Hedy, come on out. I know you're in
the barn there, I said, come on out here.
Speaker 7: Don't be too hard on Marshall.
Speaker 4: He ain't done nothing in the laws, not gonna touch.
Speaker 7: You're the one that told him you trolling. You see
me there in the bar. I didn't, Eddie, he was
going to the only poss stopped you. You're always doing
something to get me in trouble.
Speaker 4: I just tried to be a good mother to you.
Speaker 7: You ain't myem. You're never gonna be, Eddie. Me employed
at al right here before you come, Wait.
Speaker 2: A minute, Eddie, seems to me you got yourself into trouble.
You were listening in there. Now, what about those turkeys?
Speaker 7: I don't know nothing about it.
Speaker 4: You see what I told you, Eddie. I seen you
do it.
Speaker 5: I was walking back up the drawer I heard the shots,
and then I seen you ride off on that pony
of yours, and you had your rifle. If I hadn't
have been afoot, I'd had chased you and caught you.
Speaker 7: Right now, I ain't been near your place, Eddie.
Speaker 2: Why do you think Hank could tell a story like
that if it wasn't true.
Speaker 7: I don't know nothing about it, Marsha.
Speaker 2: I have known Hank now for quite a while, and
I never know him to lie before. Now, why do
you he can start with you?
Speaker 7: I told you I don't know, and.
Speaker 2: I guess I'll have to take it into time with this.
Speaker 4: Any you am in to jail this boy? Just on,

Speaker 2: He's not gonna jail in Glover. He can bunk in
with Chester and I and we'll see what Judge Ben

to worry about.
Speaker 7: Just made it up like process.

here when Paul.
Speaker 8: Was away, Eddie.
Speaker 7: Sure, he's come lots of time, and he must know
what I've seen him.
Speaker 4: It's not true. It is true.
Speaker 7: That's why he's trying to get me out of the way,
because he knows that I've seen him. It's not true.
Grow I haven't seen Hanks's before we got married, Grover.
Speaker 2: That's a fact, and I'll swear to it on a bible. Eddie.

Speaker 2: Yeah, here'd you be a marcial things?
Speaker 4: Matt Chester told me.
Speaker 9: The boy says his stepmother has been seeing Hank drinking
at home or go overs away.
Speaker 2: That's what's kicked up all the trouble. Uh what do

Speaker 4: I don't know that she and Hank were real clothes.
Speaker 7: And then she quit work suddenly and Mary gover her,
and then.
Speaker 4: I will haven't anything.
Speaker 2: Oh, I couldn't see Hank a lion to protect Alma.
And yet Eddie swears out everywhere that his story is true,
that he didn't kill those turkeys, and he's seen Hank
at their Ranchick. I don't know what to do.
Speaker 8: I wait a minute, Huh, how are you kidding?
Speaker 4: Hello?

Speaker 4: Doc Shall kid on, Miss Gates h.
Speaker 9: The first time I've been in the Long Branch since

Speaker 6: Thanks, I I don't have much time Marshall house any.

better everything was before his maw died.
Speaker 8: I've tried.
Speaker 7: I've tried every way I know how to well, Marshall.
Speaker 6: I was wondering, could I go over to the jail
with him and try talking to him myself.
Speaker 4: He don't know what he's done, Marsham.
Speaker 6: I left Grover out there at the place, just sitting
and drinking.
Speaker 8: And staring at the wall.
Speaker 7: He won't say a word to me, won't even look
at me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, walk down with me?

go talk to him.
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, I mister known, but he still won't come.

didn't figure you'd wanna pass.
Speaker 2: No, you did, right, Chester. I want go back and
try to talk to him.
Speaker 4: Are you sure?
Speaker 3: He's a step kid.
Speaker 10: When you have to do mine or something?

What Why wouldn't you talk to her?
Speaker 7: I don't ever wanna see her again?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: And I you you said a pretty bad thing about her.
Speaker 4: It's true, it.
Speaker 2: May be so. But now, when a fella says something
like that about a woman, I think he ought to
give her a chance to explain.
Speaker 7: I don't wanna see her now.
Speaker 2: I can understand when a fellas had a fine maw
and and he's lost her, it's kind of hard for
him to get used to another woman trying to take
her place. But he or try and not go around
carrying a chip on his shoulder.
Speaker 7: She hates me. She wants to turn prague in me.
Speaker 2: The thing is, uh, the a story like that hurts
more than just one person. Hurts your paw and Hank
Jergon and you know something, in the end, it'll hurt
you more than anybody else.
Speaker 7: I told you, I've seen a lot to turn.
Speaker 2: I can understand to tell him a lie to get
out of trouble. I did that myself a few times
when I was a boy. Y. You know why I
quit doing that? Why because I found out that it
felt worse to go around knowing that I'd lied.
Speaker 4: That I did.
Speaker 2: Uh, admit the truth and take my punishment.
Speaker 7: I didn't lie.
Speaker 2: I kill him. My neighbor's too. He's a bad thing, alright,
And your Paul might strap you for it, maybe give
the extra chores to help pay for 'em. But well,
that's not as bad as knowing every minute of the
day that you've hurt three people without any cause, and
you hurt yourself too.
Speaker 7: I said, I wasn't lying.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and in case, you got nothing on your mind,
so there's nothing to worry about, right, Yeah, you're still
not hungry, young? No, alright, then you better go to
bed and get some sleep. Marshall, Yeah, yeah, what is it?
Speaker 9: Idy?
Speaker 7: I shot them turkeys and I didn't see Mr Jurking
over at our place, and I once, I'm sorry. I
I ain't a party of men. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I that's alright, at hey, I'm just grat you told
the true.
Speaker 10: Uh, mister Jellan yellow as a Chester yod. Somebody just
seemed Grover catch in time. He's drunk and he's looking
for Hank. One he says he's gonna kill him. I
see you can't try neither one of 'em, you know,
thank jerking 'em in.
Speaker 4: I didn't be in tom Chester, but I Grover.

boy admitted that he was lying. Oh, I'm glad for
Almo's sake.
Speaker 5: If I didn't known it was gonna lead to what
