• 10:31
  Speaker 5: E isn't for murder?
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: On murder?
• 10:33
  Speaker 18: And I look here Thunder might be local and all that,
• 10:37
  Speaker 18: but he ain't one to go killing anybody.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: And you know it, Sheriff.
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: Sorry, Claire Bell, but we got two witnesses and they
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: gave me his gun with two bullets missing.
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: The victim had two bullet wounds in his back.
• 10:49
  Speaker 18: Why Thunder Martin never sought anyone in the back or
• 10:51
  Speaker 18: any place else.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: For that matter.
• 10:53
  Speaker 18: Them witnesses are lying, or I'll eat my sombrero dust and.
• 10:57
  Speaker 10: All that'll be for the court to decide. Claire Bell, Well,
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: all I can say is it looks mighty bad for Thunder.
• 11:04
  Speaker 18: I can't believe it that you would accuse Thunder. I mean,
• 11:08
  Speaker 18: I know he didn't do.
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: It, now, Claire Bell.
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: Maybe it's cause you were sort of fond of Thunder.
• 11:14
  Speaker 18: Or some fond of him, fond of my horse too,
• 11:18
  Speaker 18: So stop trying to make something out of nothing, Sheriff.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: All right, all right, have it your way.
• 11:23
  Speaker 10: I want to see Thunder for a few minutes from Nope,

• 14:09
  Speaker 11: Where was the killing thunder?
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: But it was on the.

  Speaker 2: Clara Belle rode out the north trail.
• 14:38
  Speaker 15: To the approximate spot of a killing.
• 14:43
  Speaker 11: This is about where it took place. According to what
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: Thunder said, I drank. I had to ride back a
• 14:48
  Speaker 11: little to that gully and have a look around. Maybe
• 14:51
  Speaker 11: we might find something that was Yes, it.
• 14:52
  Speaker 18: Was from that going back there that the killer shot
• 14:55
  Speaker 18: at the stranger.
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: Don't reckon.
• 14:57
  Speaker 11: Yes, that's what I think, Clara Belle.
• 14:59
  Speaker 13: It's possible that I might look out that shot come
• 15:03
  Speaker 13: from coming back.
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: Then Hey, maybe it's the killer.
• 15:06
  Speaker 11: Right now, we're a perfect target. Better move faster, we'll

• 17:02
  Speaker 11: involved in this. You think I'm one to murder connor
• 17:05
  Speaker 11: reasonable to think so, Toto. Someone in town must have
• 17:08

  Speaker 5: Stop.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: The lone Ranger and Clara Belle waited on the edge

  Speaker 2: meet them. How did you find out, I'll hoop insteed
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: back Mark Peki must have.

  Speaker 11: to rush in accuse anyone without proof would be foolish.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Reckon. You're right as usual, I'm gonna do now. Trial
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: starts in the morning, you know, and so far Thunder hasn't.

  Speaker 5: Got a change.
• 18:05
  Speaker 11: Yes, I I want to have a little talk with
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: the sheriff again. He likes Thunder. I know he'd do
• 18:12
  Speaker 11: what he could to help if he thought it would
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: prove Dunder to be innocent.
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: Map Rack.
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: Wait on second thought, best if I'm not seen going
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: into the Sheriff's office, I'll send him a note by you,
• 18:23
  Speaker 11: Clara Belle. Then we'll wait to see what happens next.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: After getting the note from the Lone Ranger fire Bell
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Hornblow rode into town and rained up in front of
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the Sheriff's office.

  Speaker 4: Maybe this note is the lone Ranger sight of you.
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah, mass time, he's a smart one all right here.
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: Maybe his little plan will really turn up something to that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 18: I sow hope so for Thunder's sake, And I know
• 19:14
  Speaker 18: how you feel about that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: And what's more to be a pleasure to get that
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: bellow and mule skin out of here. The things he
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: says about this year, Jayli sure awful.
• 19:24
  Speaker 18: Oh poor Thunder, you don't go for being confined, I'd
• 19:28
  Speaker 18: be downright worried if the lone Ranger wasn't here to help.
• 19:31
  Speaker 18: I can tell you, and I hope things work out.
• 19:34
  Speaker 18: So fire looks bad for Thunder.
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: Them two men who say they saw him do the killing,
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: turned in his gun with two bullets missing. What about
• 19:41
  Speaker 10: the money was supposed to be stole, Sir, hasn't turned
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: up yet. Them two fellas claim they wasn't close enough
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: to see too plain, but they think Thunder hit it
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: right quick when he heard him riding up. We searched
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: out there but couldn't find it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: The lone range.
• 19:56
  Speaker 18: You don't think it's out there, he says. It'll turn
• 19:59
  Speaker 18: up a all right if his playing goes through. Well,
• 20:02
  Speaker 18: I'll do what he suggests this evening.
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: You can tell him net and let's hope things work
• 20:07
  Speaker 10: out like he wants them to.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Meantime, while Clara Bella and the sheriff were talking, another
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: conference was taking place in Lou Holden's office, where Rusty
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: and Joe had gone to discuss their share of the

  Speaker 14: have the same story to tell at the trial. So
• 21:53
  Speaker 14: the less talking you do before then, the better I'll
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: get going.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Why we see.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Earlier that evening the cave was carded with men.
• 22:16
  Speaker 15: All of whom were discussing the expected trial of Thunder Martin.
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: And I'm telling you, I can't believe hundred doer came
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: like that.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: It just don't seem possible. And they've got the good time.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: It looks like to me.
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he was caught red handed, wasn't he.
• 22:29
  Speaker 11: Underknew the stranger had the money?
• 22:30

  Speaker 7: Rusty and Joe they wasn't in here at the time.
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: That's right, we was.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: We saw it happen.

  Speaker 5: Must have got rid of it quick?
• 22:45

  Speaker 17: Tossed the money pouch in the bushes someplace when he
• 22:59
  Speaker 17: heard his coming.

  Speaker 16: a trial just to waste.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: The time and money. That's right.
• 23:05
