- 25:41Speaker 9: Embraces. It's all about first thing you had nowhere.
- 25:44Speaker 8: Hurt some shots and it was Blackie gunning for you.
- 25:47Speaker 11: Henderson.
- 25:48Speaker 8: I thought he'd got here for sure? How could he missed, Paul?
- 25:51Speaker 8: How could you still be alive?
- 25:52Speaker 3: Why that rattler was a standing over you with a
- 25:55Speaker 3: smoking gun when I shot him point blank range.
- 25:59Speaker 7: I don't know how he disappointed? Aren't your kittle? Caliupon
- 26:03Speaker 7: you keep your gun on our banker friend here?
- 26:05Speaker 6: We're sure, Harvey.
- 26:06Speaker 10: Now see here, mister Kittle kept Blackie from shooting me
- 26:08Speaker 10: back in town a few minutes ago, and now he's
- 26:10Speaker 10: saved Paul.
- 26:11Speaker 7: You got no right now, Steve. Take a look at
- 26:13Speaker 7: Blackie's gun here. You'll understand why your paw is still alive.
- 26:19Speaker 7: H Blanks, Yeah, blank, Cartridge was rolling this gun blank.
- 26:24Speaker 6: He was shooting at your paw. Sure.
- 26:28Speaker 7: I reached in the wind where Blackie's office and exchanged
- 26:30Speaker 7: his gun for this one of Lacey's.
- 26:31Speaker 8: Then you gave him a gun filled with blanks.
- 26:33Speaker 7: Sure, and that's the one thing that has made Kettle's
- 26:36Speaker 7: little skimed backfire.
- 26:38Speaker 8: Say, I've taken about all of his slen.
- 26:41Speaker 7: Mark Kittle, I know you didn't race Blackie after this wrench.
- 26:44Speaker 7: You beat him here by several minutes. Why you waited
- 26:47Speaker 7: in the next room for Blanket to arrive.
- 26:49Speaker 8: Mister Cassidy. How do you know that when we only
- 26:52Speaker 8: just arrived.
- 26:53Speaker 7: Because the room was filled with cigar smoke. And unless
- 26:55Speaker 7: your par here is taking up smoking me, you bet
- 26:58Speaker 7: your boot change.
- 27:00Speaker 9: This is ridiculous.
- 27:01Speaker 6: I shot Blackie, yeah, after you thought he had killed Henderson.
- 27:05Speaker 9: Frett happy. This don't make change. Kittle's been my friend
- 27:08Speaker 9: for twenty five years, handled all the business and.
- 27:11Speaker 6: Stole money from you fast, and you could make it
- 27:13Speaker 6: what me?
- 27:15Speaker 7: You told mister Henderson that you paid off several debts
- 27:17Speaker 7: to Blackie with Steve Olde for gambling thousands of dollars.
- 27:21Speaker 6: That was a lie, and you knew that by tomorrow.
- 27:23Speaker 7: Unless you could get Henderson to sell out everything, Steve
- 27:26Speaker 7: would take over and discovery your thefts.
- 27:28Speaker 6: I guess I'm kind of thick. But why did Kittle
- 27:31Speaker 6: here gun down Blackie?
- 27:32Speaker 7: Because Blackie and Kittle worked together that framed Steve, and
- 27:36Speaker 7: Kittle wanted to get rid of him.
- 27:38Speaker 6: This way he could do it and be a hero.
- 27:41Speaker 6: Well guish hery miners were carrying Blackie out.
- 27:44Speaker 9: Yeah, Oh, Paul, listener the clock, Eh, it's midnight. What
- 27:52Speaker 9: do you mean he didn't leave?
- 27:54Speaker 10: I'm twenty one good.
- 27:58Speaker 9: I guess you were right, we'd drop from my gotta
- 28:02Speaker 9: hear you want to.
- 28:02Speaker 8: Oh no, no, you don't, mister Henderson. You gotta show
- 28:06Speaker 8: respect to the new owner of the bar over each ranch.
- 28:11Speaker 6: You know, Steve, I never saw a boy become a
- 28:14Speaker 6: man quite so quick.
