00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Slaughter's my name. Luke Slaughter. Cattle's my business. It's a

2
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>tough business, it's big business. I've got a big steak

3
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:24.519
<v Speaker 1>in it. There's no man west of the Rio Grande

4
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>big enough to take it from me.

5
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Luke Slaughter of Tombstone. Luke Slaughter of Tombstone. Civil War

6
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:52.200
<v Speaker 2>cavalryman turned Arizona cattleman. Across the territory, from Yuma to

7
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Fort Defiance, from Flagstaff to the Watchukas, and below the

8
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>border through Chihuahua and Sonora. His name was respected or feared,

9
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 2>depending on which side of the law you were on.

10
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 2>Man of vision, man of legend. Luke Slaughter of Tombstone.

11
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Carl Justice was dead, bushwhacked in the Chiruchaos for the

12
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 1>ten thousand dollars he was carrying. But Justice wasn't dead.

13
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>The posse from the Cattleman's Association at Ceda bet If

14
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 1>we had to cover every half section between the petrified

15
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Forest and the Mexican border, and it looked like we might.

16
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 1>At least the first day in the saddle. We didn't

17
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 1>find a trace of Justice's killer or the gold. We

18
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 1>were a tired bunch of Ranahans and we came back

19
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 1>to town that afternoon. All right, boys, it yourselves a

20
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>good night's rest, be ready to ride again as sun up?

23
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 3>You look like you've been eating a lot of dust.

24
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 3>I have you turn up anything?

25
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Nothing? Not a single sign.

26
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Killer's got to leave a shine.

27
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>This one didn't.

28
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 3>Sure is a shame. Carl order no better than to

29
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 3>try carrying all that money over to Bisbee by itself.

30
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>But he didn't. Oh man, I'm tired.

<v Speaker 1>day before that? Nosy ain'ty maybe you gents, ou don't

156
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:04.799
<v Speaker 1>know my name? I want to slaughter Luke slutter.

157
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:06.480
<v Speaker 3>He ain't Luke slaughter.

158
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 1>I'll handle this. Just who did you think I was? Lannigan?

159
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 5>Why?

160
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 4>I well pleased to make your acquaintance laughter. My name

161
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:19.720
<v Speaker 4>is Burwell. Wann't you light and draw the fire?

162
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Thanks? Burwell?

163
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.039
<v Speaker 4>About those questions are yours? Why do you want to

164
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:28.799
<v Speaker 4>know about us?

165
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.200
<v Speaker 1>For your own protection? It was a murder ten miles

166
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>easter Tombstone early last night. I haven't found the killer yet.

167
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>A bushwhack, you know. Yeah, and whoever did it got

168
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:45.039
<v Speaker 1>away with several thousand dollars in goal. Say that's too bad.

169
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a couple of other things too. Just after you

170
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.159
<v Speaker 1>passed through town before sunset, there was an attempt to

171
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.759
<v Speaker 1>rob the bank, you don't say. A good friend of

172
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.399
<v Speaker 1>mine named Wichita got pistol whipped while that was happening.

173
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:57.159
<v Speaker 1>What the hell?

174
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.200
<v Speaker 4>Things are kind of active in Tombstone, ain't they?

175
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

176
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:04.720
<v Speaker 4>Now you don't think that my little outfit.

177
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 1>I think that your outfit might be in for trouble

178
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.679
<v Speaker 1>if it met up with any of these lawbreakers. I

179
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.279
<v Speaker 1>see those questions, Burwell?

180
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:19.159
<v Speaker 4>Oh sure sure, slaughter Well there's eleven of us.

181
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>There's eight men, three women.

182
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 4>We left ourt city several weeks ago, aheaded for the ocean,

183
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.039
<v Speaker 4>camped on the trail last night.

184
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:32.720
<v Speaker 1>No special. Please, have you seen anything or anybody unusual? No, no,

185
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:36.080
<v Speaker 1>can't say I have keep your eyes up, and Burwell,

186
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:38.799
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't want to see an innocent wagon train get

187
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>drag outs.

188
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.000
<v Speaker 4>So we'll do that, Slaughter, might and I see you

189
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:43.799
<v Speaker 4>to ride out.

190
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.159
<v Speaker 1>To tell us for anything to do?

191
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.639
<v Speaker 4>I figure, Oh, we ain't got much by way of hospitality,

192
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.240
<v Speaker 4>but I could lay the dust.

193
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.279
<v Speaker 1>A little for you. And now that'd get down real

194
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:55.159
<v Speaker 1>good on a night like this.

195
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.879
<v Speaker 4>Molly, Yeah, brain the whiskey. A man's gonna have to

196
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:02.600
<v Speaker 4>forget his manners out on the trail.

197
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Slaughter.

198
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 5>Here's a jug hank.

<v Speaker 5>Pleasure to meet you, mister Slaughter.

202
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Don't you try this for size?

203
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.879
<v Speaker 1>Thanks? Just right?

204
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's turning into a cold night.

205
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Have another now, thanks, that doesn't It's time I got

206
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>back to town. Oh, by the way, missus Burwell, one thing

207
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:36.320
<v Speaker 1>has me curious.

208
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.240
<v Speaker 5>What's that, mister Slaughter.

209
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Every wagon train I've ever seen carried at least half

210
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a dozen kids. You don't seem to have any.

211
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:47.960
<v Speaker 5>Some people don't have chilled.

212
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's right. It was just a thought. Are

213
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:54.440
<v Speaker 1>you being pretty personal, ain't you? Slaughter? I didn't mean

214
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to be so long, Lanagan. Maybe we'll meet up again sometime.

215
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, sure.

216
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:22.159
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, Burwell, be careful AliOS. In a moment,

217
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Luke Slaughter of Tombstone returns on CBS Radio's gun Smoke Today.

218
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.000
<v Speaker 1>A colorful character named Livy learns that arson is a crime,

219
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.679
<v Speaker 1>no matter what the motive. Livy doesn't want her.

220
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.639
<v Speaker 6>Son to grow up like his alcoholic father. Her notion

221
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 6>of how to keep the boy from drinking is set

222
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 6>afire every saloon in Dodge City. When she threatens to

223
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.639
<v Speaker 6>act on her idea. However, she lights the fuse on

224
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 6>an explosive situation for Marshall Matt Dillon as well as

225
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.159
<v Speaker 6>for herself. For adventure in the West as our Pioneers

226
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.879
<v Speaker 6>knew it Here this thrilling episode of gun Smoke later

227
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:09.360
<v Speaker 6>today on CBS Radio, and now Act two of William

228
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:15.639
<v Speaker 6>and Robson's production of Luke Slutter of Tombstone.

229
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:44.039
<v Speaker 3>Who about the time you was getting back, Luke, I

230
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.519
<v Speaker 3>was beginning to know all the coyotes by name.

231
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.720
<v Speaker 1>It was worth that which you're done. I've been talking

232
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>to the man that pistol whipped you a few hours ago.

233
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>He was, and after that, bunches had a chance to

234
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>think it over, and I think we'll both be talking

235
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:57.559
<v Speaker 1>to him.

236
00:13:58.759 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 3>Makes sense.

237
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Will you look that wagon train in Wichita. It's the

238
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>headquarters for everything that's been happening around here lately.

239
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.600
<v Speaker 3>He is, Well, you just ain't gonna leave him out

240
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:10.679
<v Speaker 3>there and then let him go on.

241
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Unless I'm dead wrong, they're gonna send a man gunning

242
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>for me, and I think I know who it'll be,

243
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>that pistol whipper.

244
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 3>Listen, that's one horse, Luke.

245
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.960
<v Speaker 1>And one riding. He's got to slow down to get

246
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:29.960
<v Speaker 1>through these rocks. When he does jump.

247
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Him yet, will be a pleasure.

248
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Hey, don't right drop you? What is this? Get his guns?

249
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Wichita already got him, Luke Slaughter Yeah, Lenigan slaughter.

250
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.240
<v Speaker 4>Cat a man ride to town for peaceful drink without

251
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:47.080
<v Speaker 4>being ambooshed.

252
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Light.

253
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:56.639
<v Speaker 1>But I don't see what out that horse? Oh sure, sure, Linigan.

254
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:00.879
<v Speaker 1>I want you to meet a friend of mine. This

255
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>is the man who laid that gun barrel alongside your

256
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:04.039
<v Speaker 1>ear this evening.

257
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:07.559
<v Speaker 3>I want to kill you shame as I would have sunk.

258
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, boys, Art, it's against my nature to

259
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:14.360
<v Speaker 1>fight an unarmed man, Lanigan, any one of his guns

260
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:19.320
<v Speaker 1>barrel first, I'll put it in your holster, Lanigan, and

261
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:23.279
<v Speaker 1>you're welcome to use it anytime you want to slaughter.

262
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I tell me the real story about that wagon, tray Lanagan.

263
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Why I don't what you're talking about.

264
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever been pistol whipped? No? No, you're about

265
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>to learn what it feels like, unless you care to

266
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>draw a slaughter for the love Hend killed Carl Justice,

267
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:42.919
<v Speaker 1>But I never heard of no car Justice. He had

268
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>ten thousand dollars in gold. Yesterday's dead. Who killed him?

269
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 1>You tell me? I'm going to rake a gun side

270
00:15:51.200 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 1>through your left ear, talk or draw Lnagan? Who killed him?

271
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:05.279
<v Speaker 1>You want another one?

272
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:11.159
<v Speaker 3>No? No, it was Burwell. He told me not to,

273
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.840
<v Speaker 3>but he put up a fight and and and Burwill.

274
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>A man doesn't fight with his back. Where did you

275
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>pistol whip? Wichitel?

276
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:24.080
<v Speaker 3>It was Burwell's idea. He heard about you, and he

277
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.120
<v Speaker 3>thought that if you was laid low for a while, people.

278
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Did want to go after whoever got that figured?

279
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then a couple of the boys broke that

280
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:32.480
<v Speaker 3>wind in the bank to make it look like.

281
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Burwell's a pretty smart man, isn't he. Yeah, he's sure,

282
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.799
<v Speaker 1>but he made the mistake of getting featherheaded yellow gun

283
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:41.360
<v Speaker 1>slingers like you to work for him.

284
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:42.639
<v Speaker 3>Look, you can't call me.

285
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I am calling you. If it isn't true. Draw take

286
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 1>his gun, which your tile, he won't use it?

287
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:54.679
<v Speaker 3>Or slaughter.

288
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Please give me a chance.

289
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Just let me go and I'll go back to Dodge,

290
00:16:58.639 --> 00:16:59.799
<v Speaker 3>and I'll never come out this way.

291
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Which a tome head his horse back toward camp and

292
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:03.399
<v Speaker 1>give it a slap.

293
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Sure, luke, what you're gonna do?

294
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Slaughter, I'm gonna use you for bait. Which a time

295
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:10.079
<v Speaker 1>you walk him back into town.

296
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:11.079
<v Speaker 3>Where are you going?

297
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not through here yet. Oh, and get a message

298
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to Sutton, tell him to wake up the posse and

299
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:18.480
<v Speaker 1>spread him around the cattleman's office ready to shoot.

300
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, you can't face that whole wagon train by yourself.

301
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I won't have to witch a ton. When Lanagan's horse

302
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:28.240
<v Speaker 1>gets back to camp, they'll know something went wrong, and

303
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.279
<v Speaker 1>most of them will go to town looking for me.

304
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.519
<v Speaker 1>That's why I want that posse standing by him.

305
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:35.519
