  Speaker 3: marked him as an Easterner, drew rein before a cabin
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: about fifteen miles east of the town of Pine Bluffs.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Inside, Maybe they haven't left.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: I don't worry. If you've told the truth.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: They're putting just as many miles between themselves in this
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: cabin as I can. Where is he gone? The big
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: fight here? That's plain enough, favor. I thought you said
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: they killed Ben?
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: They did? I tell you they did.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: And what's become of him?
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: You're sure he wasn't merely wounded that he couldn't have
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: settled and tried to reach town. You think I can't
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: tell what a man's done for? Tell me just what
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: happened here? I told you you can, And tell me again. Well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: it was just before daybreak when I heard them right
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: out sound of the beginning. I want to get this straight.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: You've been running away from these fellows, and they trailed
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: me all away from the east ever since they got
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: out of the penitentiary. When do they call themselves their brothers,
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Dade and Pete Gruber? I see, well they after you. Well,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: look here, mister, don't you think we better do something
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: it Bend's dead. We can't help him now if he isn't.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: And I want the whole story so I'll know how
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: to act. Answer my question, will they blame me for
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: sending them to prison? Had you well, yes, yes, I
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: suppose I did. I well, I testified against them at
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: their trial. They each got ten.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: Years, and now they want revenge. Eh, they'll stop nothing.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Take a look around, see what you can find.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: Look for the trail. Huh.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: I'm to do it all right, tavor. Let's have the
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: rest of it. How did you happen to stop here
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: last night? Well, I'd hoped to would help me and
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: lose them if I didn't go on into town.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Did you have any other reason? Had you known? Ben?
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Well, how could I? I've never been this part of
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: the country before. This is the first time I've ever
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: been west. He started to say, you heard the Gruber's
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: right up. What happened then? Well, at first I didn't
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: think anything of it. I thought maybe they wanted to
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: see Ben. It was still dark, and I didn't know
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: who they were. It wasn't, Yes, well, it wasn't till
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: they'd broken in that I recognized them.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: I don't know how, but.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: They must have traced me. Maybe someone saw me turn
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: off the trail and told them and they mistook Ben
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: for you, And they must have They weren'tny more acquainted
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: with him than I was. He was sleeping on that
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: bunk there, He didn't hear them, didn't wake up when
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: they came in. They and they shot him and cleared out.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Everything happened so fast. It was all over before I
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: even realized what was up. And then I looked at him,
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: so I was dead and started for town to get
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: the law. Well, I guess I got mixed up in
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: my directions. That's how I happened to stumble on your camp. Well,
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: they may have cleared out, as you say, but it
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: looks as though they came back again. Maybe they suspected
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: something had gone wrong, and maybe they just wanted to
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: make sure they'd got you. But anyhow they came back.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: I don't understand. That explains why Ben isn't here. These
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: fellas know what they're about table, and they know you
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: can't hang a man for murder unless you can find
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: the victim. They've taken steps to see that Ben isn't found.
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: You mean they will get away with this?
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: They won't. That's a promise.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Tando uh find anything too horse go nor you think
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: it's their trail?
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: Huh?
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Then come on, we'll get after them. That's haaber. Yes
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: you think you can find your way back to our camp?
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: I think so, But what and ride there and wait
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: for us. We'll join you there as soon as possible. Ready,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Tandah sign lead the way, Ah canst.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Do what you're told?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Come on, come on.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: The trail of the mask man in Tonto followed led
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: them to the stage road. Or adjoined the road and
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: turned west, heading for town. The mask Man followed on
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: one side of the road and Toto on the other. Finally,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: sta ah, you've seen nothing yet the show.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: They might have left the road, you know what.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: We can't go much farther. Town's just ahead. Ah better
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: come here? Oh?
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Oh, now what do There was.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: A certain we'd find they left the stage road somewhere
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: along the way. No, they'm not leave evidently enough. It
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: tells a story of its own. What you mean not
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: explain later when meg to town. No, we've learned all
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: that we can for the present. They went to tell
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: as they must have. There's not much danger that they'll
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: go on again today. Right now, I'd rather have a
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: talk with Taper than do anything else. Back to camp, Tutther,
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: come on.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: So.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Find anything nothing them follow stage trail they got away. No,
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: we can pick them up at any time. Then pine bluffs,
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: but we couldn't locate Ben. You couldn't telloh, and I
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: trailed Lim as far as the stage road. They kept
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: the road. It was impossible to read their son. But
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: we do know they went west, not east, so they
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: must be in town. If you lost their trail, how
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: do you know they didn't turn off? Tanno took one
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: side of the road and I took the other. At
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: the hand, we would have known it. But now what
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: do we do? You didn't better tell your story to
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: the sheriff? Now why not that killed me? You said
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: they already wanted to do that, But they've lost me again?
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: That find you if you were in a town, of
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: course they would, Tabor. I think you need some advice. Yes,
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: stop running and face these fellows. You can't keep on
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: the dodge forever. You don't think you can handle them alone.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Go to the loan, ask for protection. What can the
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: law do?
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Jaileen?
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: They make an attempt at you when it's too late.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: I don't see that you have much choice.
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: You could help me.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: Yes, I know you, I know who you are?
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: You do eh? Well? Who am I? A lone ranger.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: How did you know that? I've heard about you. I
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: knew you the second I saw your horse.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: I see. Well, supposing you're right, what is it you
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: believe I could do find ben? Oh?
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: You said they could be hanged if you could find
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: the man they shot.
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: Didn't you?
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Well find him, get them hanged. It won't be easy.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: They've shown already that they're clever.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: I thought the lone Ranger wasn't afraid of anyone.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Faber. Well, if I take a hand in this, will
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: you follow my.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: Orders exactly as you give them?
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: Very well, it's a bargain.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: In the meantime, the two brothers, Dad and Pete Klueber,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: made no effort to conceal themselves. They remained in Pine Bluffs,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: and when evening arrived, they were seated in a table at.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: The cafe well Dade.
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: He looked as though we missed him again, just when
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: I thought we had him.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: Here's nothing in town.
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: I'm made sure that we circled and went.
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: On double back. Skunk blooded. Huh.
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: We've wasted a lot of time trying to fact table down.
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: In three months, we're no closer to catching up with
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: him than when we started.
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: What are you getting at?
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: I think it's time we gave this up. Time we
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: turned around and went back Pete. You let him go
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: after what he did to us.
• 10:47
  Speaker 10: Another boy thought there was a chance of making them pay.
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: There is.
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: There's a good chance.
• 10:51
  Speaker 10: That's what you said when I wanted to turn back at.
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: Even and I'll keep on saying it. But indeed, if
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: you want to go back east, that's your business. I
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: won't try to stop if you're said on him, but
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: I'm not giving up.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: You mean you're going alone?
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: I would you know, darned well, I wouldn't let you.
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: You couldn't stop me, Dad, What.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: Do you think I am? I wouldn't try to stop you.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: I mean if you won't give up, and I won't either, I'm.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: Sure I know you wouldn't. Well, we've got to make
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: up our minds what to do next. We've got to
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: find another lead to Taper and the w there's one
• 11:23
  Speaker 9: huh there at the door, just come in.
• 11:25

  Speaker 10: It's funny dark Uh huh, it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: Is, dude, This might be a trip.
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: Maybe Tabor paid the Red Skin to get us out
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: here and figuring to kill what you aren't.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Get the horses?
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Bring them around, hen Stranger, you kill move, don't call out.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: Huh, you're leaving town with me.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: It was later that night that the Lone Ranger returned
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: to his camp and discussed the situation with Taber.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: They refused to talk. But where are they not fire
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: girding them? Why did you bring them here? I don't
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: want them to guess if you and I are working together.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: They know I'm investigating Ben's murder, of course.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: But they don't know that. I learned of it through you.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: Then, and they didn't mention me. Why should they no,
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: I guess they wouldn't.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: The story was simply that they'd started Ben's cabin, found
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: it deserted, returned to the stage road, continuing on the town.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: Did you believe them?
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: That's a story they tell, whether they were guilty or not.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Of course they would as a matter of fact, though
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: we've got nothing on them. As long as they hold
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: to it, I'd make them talk, now, I doubt it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: You think I couldn't. They won't talk for Tatoo. They
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: won't talk for you. But we'll not argue about it.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: We have other things to do.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: What taber?
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: There's more than one way of getting at the truth.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: We've tried fear, and they wouldn't weaken. Now we'll go
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: at it another way.
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: What have you got in mind?
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: A trap?
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: Eh?
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: We want to know where Ben's hidden? Well, we'll trick
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: them into telling us. You've got a plan.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: Yes, what is it? You will have the help I
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: said I would, Well.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: It is necessary for it, know all the details, Just
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: carry out orders and that will be enough.
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: All right, what orders?
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Remember that ravine between here and the cabin.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: I do if you find it to get in the dark,
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: I've just head straight eacht.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: When you reach it, turn to your left and follow
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: it to its end. It'll bring you to the base
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: of a hill. Yet at the top of that hill
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: as quietly as possible, and then you will see a
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: clearing below you. Dade and Pete Gruber are in that clearing.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: You won't be with an air shut, but you'll have
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: a good view of everything that goes on. What's going
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: to happen tatow and I will be with them. You'll
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: see them make a break for it, get away, and
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: I'm going to let them escape.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: That's where you come into the picture.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: They'll be expecting toad on me to pursue them, but
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: they won't have any idea that you are near.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I get it. I'm the follow the right, Yeah, but
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: what good lead do They won't take you to ben
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: How do you know they will? Just take my word
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: for If they will, then I'm.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: To jump them. Nothing of the kind. They don't let
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: them realize they've been seen at any time. Just watch
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: what they do. They remove him, find where he's taken
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: and get him back, and get back as quickly as
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: you can. If they leave me to Ben, we've got them. Yes,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: how soon do I leave it? I want to be
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: the clearing before reach the hill. Give me thirty minutes.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Here's I'll saddle up and play your part exactly as
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: you've been told, Stranger.
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: I will have silver.
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: Hilse silver away.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: to pause for just a few moments now to continue
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: our story. When the Lone Ranger arrived at the clearing,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: he described the table he found Toto still safely guarding
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Pete and Dave Gruber.
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: The mask Man drew his great stall into a clattering hawk.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: Haven't any trouble with him? Tell her no and not
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: make trouble. Good. Look here, mister, yes, are you working
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: for Tabor?
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: Did he hire you to bring us here?
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: Didn't hire us, but we're working with him. Tell her.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: Wait, well, Stranger, I don't know what you've been told,
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: but you got us wrong. Taber did something to us
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: once that he's going to pay for. The law won't
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: touch him, so we have to do the work ourselves.
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: So I've heard you couldn't have known Tabor Long. He's
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: no friend of yours. You don't know him a thing? Now,
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: why not throw it on our side instead of his?
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: That's my business, don't He was hogging with him?
• 17:23

  Speaker 8: the law.

• 22:45
  Speaker 8: I don't savvy.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: I haven't had time to tell you the whole story.
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: He hardly told us snuff him.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: We know Ben was killed, although we haven't seen him,
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: but we don't know where he is. We know who
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: killed him, but to prove it and to find him,
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: we had to use a trick. Yeah, that trick. An
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: Easterner by the name of Taber would soon be here.
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: Caber what she got to do with it?
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: You'll tell us where Ben's been hidden?
• 23:07
  Speaker 14: You know the words you meim is a chance you
• 23:09
  Speaker 14: trick failed and then won't be located?
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: A chance, yes, but one chance in a million.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: The sheriff returned the lone ranger's guns. The men waited patiently.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Was not long before they heard the hoof beats of
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: a swiftly approaching horse.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: This must be him. Did I fail them?
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: Oh?
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: They took you to Ben right you weren't discovered. I wasn't.
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: You can show us where Ben's hidden.
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: I'll take you right there.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: Get to your horses, Get.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Going, hurry, guided by Taber, they rode at top speed
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: to the south of Pine Bluffs. Last Taper raised his
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: arm in a signal halt, and several minutes later Ben done.
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: Gosh it, it don't hardly seem possible. He never done.
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: Anybody hurting this whole lad, it's just too dog gone badge.
• 24:34
  Speaker 13: You can't hang a fella a dozen times over. If
• 24:37
  Speaker 13: I could just lay hands on a rotten skunk had
• 24:39
  Speaker 13: done this.
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: I'd never two of them, did not one?
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: You know them?
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: You can name them?
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: I can.
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: Who were they? Tell us who the pool catch was?
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Two brothers, strangers in this part of the country, the
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: names of Dayton, Pete Gruber.
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: When they shot Ben, they thought they were shooting me.
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: Sha.
• 24:55
  Speaker 14: They couldn't be the two strangers they seen in the
• 24:57
  Speaker 14: confine this evening, could they?
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: They were like the followed me all the way from
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: the east.
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: Where are they? Where in Tunkan Can I lay my
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: hands on?
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: I don't know, but the mask Man and Tona might
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: be able to trail them.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: That won't be necessary.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: You know where they are now, not fire.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: And if you're patient, they'll soon join us.
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: What you mean, he'll be igo enough to come back
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: where they hit Ben.
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: While we are here.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: Yes, that sounds I know what I'm talking about. I
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: should be here any moment. You sent someone after them. No,
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: then while they come back, don't they know what means hanging?
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: I saw them shoot Ben. I can testify a guy.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: I think you'll find this is them now.
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: But you get your gun ready right, shot them down.
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: Don't give them a chance to make a fight. If
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: it put down, those guns can get down around.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: Shoot them out of your hands. I'm handling this.
• 25:40
  Speaker 12: You'd better show a good reason for what you're doing,
• 25:42
  Speaker 12: or to sure, go talk with you.
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: I will.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Hello way, I see you didn't have any trouble filling us.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: We took good care. You never got too far in
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: the lead.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: Hey, what thunders this all about? Sheriff Areesti's man, not them,
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: Sheriff arrest Tabor. Huh you once he killed Ben? That's
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: all I hadn't. I've known it since you first told
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: me your story. The first place, you said Dade and
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Pete ented the cabin, shot Ben and rode away, But
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: the cabin showed evidence of a fight. You were careless there,
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: But I torry it. In the second place, when we
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: followed their trail from the cabin. We told you they
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: hadn't turned off from the stage road anywhere on the
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: trip to town. They didn't turn off. How could they
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: have hidden the man they were supposed to have murdered.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: I trailed them here. I trailed them after they'd escape
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: from you. That'd escape. Wasn't a trap to catch them.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: It was a trap to prove the killing on you.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: You made no attempt to follow them. You didn't have to.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: You already knew where Ben was because you'd taken him here.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: He waited just long enough to make your report convincing,
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: then returned to camp.
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: But Caber said these two men were out to kill
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: him for revenge.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: Which is the weakest part of his story, Sheriff, and
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: the part that you can check personally the prove he
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: was lying. I got the true story when I took
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: these men from the cafe, the true story.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: We've never been in jail, Sheriff.
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: We followed Tabor from the east because he had stolen
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: diamonds from us. We know it's told him, but he
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: convinced the authorities that he had an alibi. They released him,
• 27:04
  Speaker 9: and we've followed to get those diamonds back and sending
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: the jail for theft.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: And stan he'll go there for murder and won't leave
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: jail except to hang.
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: I don't know what to believe.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: He lying to your sheriff.
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: Would you take a order for mask man?
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Still one more thing against Taber, Sheriff? What search him?
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: You'll know what I mean as soon as you find it.
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: You got any objections to be in search?
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: Of course I have. It's and I'll search him. Holding
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: save your strength, Tavor. You won't get away from the
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: tunder But what are you looking for?
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: That one moment in there? Look inside this pouch?
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: Hand it over. Well, I'll be switched. What's in there?
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: The diamond?
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: Is that enough proof?
• 27:41
  Speaker 12: If I find out after telegraphing East that these two
• 27:45
  Speaker 12: gents weren't never in jail, it will be good night.
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: You'll never take toup him. He's go for the mask
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: Man's horse.
• 27:50
  Speaker 13: Stop if he gets away, and that credit will never
• 27:52
  Speaker 13: catch him again.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: Wait, but he's going to wait fire Helon, go far there,
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: way back, so bach back, Old fellow, Hey boy, well
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: don't you think you can handle him now, Sheriff.
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: From the looks of him.
• 28:10
