02:50Drop that gun.
02:52Stand up so we can get a look at you.
02:54Well, you didn't get very far.
02:55Help me out.
02:57Yeah, thanks.
03:00I guess I was given a bum steer being told
03:02Yaki would see me through.
03:04Now that you've got your man, Sheriff,
03:05you'd better get along with him.
03:06You bet I will.
03:07I ain't taking no more chances with this train robber.
03:10Oh, a train robber, huh?
03:12Yeah, and that ain't all.
03:14This time he robbed a bank down there on the railway.
03:16Darn near cleaned it out.
03:18He hid most of the money, but I found some of it on him.
03:21Got it right here.
03:22Enough to send him up for a spell.
03:24Well, come on, let's get going.
03:26Grinch, that's a low-down trick you just pulled.
03:34Oh, thanks again for helping me.
03:37I'll feel a lot better when I get this bank robber
03:39behind the bars and get that bank money under lock and key.
03:44Sorry to see you go, Sheriff.
03:46Maybe it'd be smarter to stay over and take the first stage through.
03:49Oh, you're taking chances.
03:50Well, maybe you're right.
03:51That's what I'll do.
03:52Oh, say, can I have a room to keep him in for a stage con?
03:55Sure.
03:56Mel, pick the Sheriff up at the room.
03:59The stage won't be here till tomorrow.
04:01Glad to.
04:07Tough luck.
04:08I'm sorry.
04:09Thanks.
04:10But I'm not in jail yet.
04:12No, but you're good in there right now.
04:25I wonder who kicked him off the ride in here.
04:28I don't know.
04:29But I do know I'm taking no chances.
04:33That book shows a nice profit range.
04:37Three bank jobs, two state holdups, one express office.
04:41Not to mention a few odd jobs.
04:43Yeah, like a halfway out here.
04:45Too bad your wife had to sell it to me.
04:47Ain't it?
04:49Well, well.
04:50All the comforts of home.
04:51Yeah, but don't get any ideas about giving me the slip again.
04:55I'm sure you wouldn't be thinking of anything like that, Sheriff.
04:58What did you say your name was?
04:59Why, uh, oh, Perkins, ma'am.
05:02Panhandle Perkins.
05:03Glad to know you, Pumphandle.
05:05Oh, no, no.
05:06Not Pumphandle, ma'am.
05:07Panhandle.
05:08It's all the same.
05:10Well, Pan, things couldn't be better.
05:12She's for me and against you.
05:17Well, when they find out we're Rangers,
05:20she'll still be for it again.
05:22She'd be for killing and letting you live.
05:25No, sir.
05:26I'm quit.
05:27Sheriffs always die with their boots on.
05:29But I'm not one of them.
05:30I'm not one of them.
05:31I'm not one of them.
05:32I'm not one of them.
05:33I'm not one of them.
05:34I'm not one of them.
05:35I'm not one of them.
05:36I'm not one of them.
05:37I'm not one of them.
05:38You're not one of them, John, but I'm aiming to die in a nice,
05:41soft, comfortable bed.
05:43Oh, look, Pan, nobody will find out I'm a Ranger.
05:47All right, all right.
05:48Let me down.
05:49Come on, take your cuffs off or we'll
05:50call the whole thing off.
05:51Well, if it isn't the bank president.
06:13We got some bad news, Jackie.
06:17I just came from Delano.
06:19They've organized a law committee in the town with six of them acting as investigators.
06:24Sort of a secret six.
06:26I'm one of them.
06:27Yeah?
06:28Who are they investigating?
06:29Us.
06:30That's not the worst of it.
06:33They made a deal with the Idaho kid to lead them.
06:36You know who he is?
06:37Well, I don't know his real name, but I do know he was a head of the group that went
06:42after the Evans gang in Red Bluff.
06:45They were tried and found guilty.
06:47And I don't know all of them but me.
06:51What does Idaho kid look like?
06:53I don't know.
06:54I never saw him.
06:56I left town just before he took over, and I figured on doing the same thing again.
07:05How do we know but what he ain't in this territory right now?
07:08I'm going.
07:09Howdy.
07:10Oh, the Idaho kid.
07:12That's what some folks call me, ma'am.
07:14Say, has he been telling you things about me?
07:16If he has, don't you believe him.
07:17But I want to, because I'm afraid I'll not be very welcome at a halfway house where Mr.
07:21Yackey learns who I am.
07:23No need to be worried, Arlene.
07:25I forgot to tell you, Tix is a lawyer.
07:27Where are your law books, Tix?
07:29Did you bring them with you?
07:30Sure did.
07:31Both of them.
07:32Well, the law books will be along later this stage.
07:35We'll talk as we go along.
07:37Got to hurry if we want to get a halfway house before sundown.
07:40Come on, boys.
07:42Come on, Tate.
07:45Come on.
07:58That sheriff getting out of here with all that bacon.
08:02Yeah.
08:03It would be too bad, wouldn't it?
08:10I still don't like it.
08:11That's too much of your money to risk.
08:13Oh, stop crying.
08:14You're going downstairs and gambling your head off.
08:16In fact, you're going to be a gambling fool.
08:18That's me all right.
08:19But remember one thing, you must lose.
08:22Well, that won't be hard for me.
08:25Ever since I first opened my big brown eyes in this world, I've always been on the losing end.
08:3225 in the red.
08:34You win again, Sheriff.
08:36I'm sure you're lucky today.
08:37You bet this is my lucky day.
08:40Why don't you put it all on the double O, Sheriff?
08:44Make a killing.
08:46Around and around she goes.
08:48Why she stops nobody.
08:54I'm sure you're lucky today.
08:56You bet this is my lucky day.
08:59Whoa.
09:0028 in the black.
09:02You lose, Sheriff.
09:04Lady Luck forgot where you live.
09:06Hey, wait a minute.
09:07Now, I can't play for keeps.
09:08I can't lose that.
09:09It ain't my money.
09:10What do you mean it ain't your money?
09:12Well, I got it from him.
09:14It's part of the bank loot.
09:16Do you mean to tell me that you lost all of my bank loot?
09:19Well, you're as bad as he is.
09:20Why, he's worse.
09:21He ought to be in jail himself.
09:22He will be if he tries to put you in.
09:24Yeah.
09:25Yeah, go ahead.
09:26Sheriff, stick me in jail and listen to me.
09:28Tell him what you did with the money you took off of me.
09:30Oh, I'm a ruined man.
09:32A ruined man.
09:33Why, I can't never be no Sheriff no more.
09:36I don't want to go to jail.
09:38Well, you'll be if you don't get these bracelets off of me
09:40quick.
09:41He's right.
09:42I knew it, Sheriff.
09:43Buster was hung for doing just what you did.
09:45I can't remember what I done with the key.
09:48It's a good thing you didn't swallow it,
09:50you no good waster of my hard-earned money.
09:54Now, keep out of my way, you ex-Sheriff.
09:58Congratulations.
09:59Glad to see you're getting out of your clutches.
10:01The drinks are on me.
10:02Set them up, Del.
10:04Make mine plain soda.
10:06Yes.
10:11Excuse me.
10:12Oh, look, this is mine.
10:13I don't know what it is.
10:14It belongs to the house.
10:16I don't know what it is.
10:17I don't know what it is.
10:18I don't know what it is.
10:19I don't know what it is.
10:20I don't know what it is.
10:21I don't know what it is.
10:22I don't know what it is.
10:24Fork it over.
10:25Oh, no.
10:26I worked hard for this money.
10:28You call blowing a safe hard work?
10:30You stole it.
10:31You mean you did.
10:32With that crooked wheel.
10:53Oh.
11:24Oh.
11:25Oh.
11:53Oh.
11:54Oh.
11:55Oh.
11:56Oh.

12:14Oh.
12:15Oh.
12:16Oh.
12:17Oh.
12:18Oh.
12:19Oh.
12:20Oh.
12:21Oh.
12:22Oh.
12:23Oh.
12:24Oh.
12:25Oh.
12:26Oh.
12:27Oh.
12:28Oh.
12:39Thanks for the favor, stranger.
12:42I reckon you'd do as much for me if my back was turned.
12:49Check it out.
12:52Go ahead, pick it up.
13:00Give it to him.
13:01What?
13:02That bank robber?
13:03That bank robber.
13:05Any man who can whip red ought to trail along with me.
13:08That's exactly what I came here for,
13:10to trail along with you.
13:12Sheriff, go get my gun.
13:15Ex-sheriff, I mean.
13:17Oh, Clint.
13:20Oh, Clint.
13:23This young lady is the late Joe Arthur's niece, Arlene.
13:26She's here to take over the halfway house according to his will.
13:30I didn't know Joe had a niece,
13:32or ever left a will when he was killed.
13:35I can't believe it.
13:36Well, he did.
13:38I'm representing this author.
13:39My name is Tex Haines, lawyer.
13:42I'm here to inform you that she is the owner of this business,
13:46as well as a lot of other properties around here.
13:48Well, if that's the way it is, that's it.
13:52I always thought that Joe was holding something back from me
13:54when he let me buy in with him.
13:57Shake hands with your partner.
13:59I'm sure we'll get along all right.
14:01I'm sure we will.
14:02Step out to the bar, folks.
14:03The drinks are on me.
14:11This is Joe's niece, Miss Arthur.
14:13She's moving in.
14:15You don't say.
14:19I've been trying to place you.
14:22Haven't I met you somewhere?
14:24I wouldn't be surprised.
14:25You being a lawyer and me having to appear in court
14:28several times in my life.
14:30Oh, you fool around in law, too, huh?
14:32When I'm in court, the law doesn't fool.
14:35Sorry.
14:36I thought I knew you.
14:37You may have seen me, mister, but you don't know me.
14:42My mistake.
14:44Well, goodbye and good luck.
14:46Thank you, Mr. Haynes.
14:47I'll look you up the first time I'm in Delano.
14:50Goodbye, Miss Arthur.
14:51Goodbye.
15:14You got a light?
15:27Oh, maybe it ain't such a bad life.
15:29Why don't you two bury the hatchet and kind of
15:31string along together?
15:32Oh, yeah?
15:33So he can find out what I did with my bank loot,
15:35come back and lose it like he did the money in my belt?
15:38I should say not.
15:39I'll never ask you again what you done with that loot
15:42if you'll just let me drag along with you.
15:44I don't want to be no lone wolf.
15:46All right, all right.
15:47Get him strung along.
15:48Well, thanks, sir.
15:50Just between those three, you did hide that out of dry wells,
15:53didn't you?
15:54Wait a minute.
15:55I didn't mean that.
16:13Maybe the rest of the loot is buried at dry wells
16:15or someplace near it.
16:17Who knows?
16:18You want to keep him here?
16:20You might see if he'd like to play along with us.
16:42Oh.
17:13Do you always walk in on people in the middle of the night?
17:17Good coffee.
17:18Have some.
17:20Seeing as how I made it, I will.
17:26I guess you got my letter, Mr. Wilder.
17:28You wouldn't be here.
17:30What letter?
17:31Don't ask questions, panhandle.
17:32Meet Tex Haines, sometimes known as the Idaho Kid.
17:35Howdy.
17:36Howdy.
17:37Say, Kid works on the same side of the fence as I do.
17:40Say, Kid works on the same side of the fence as we do.
17:43Well, I'm on the fence, too.
17:45Think of all the lead I dodged putting you in good
17:47with Klendiaki and his gang.
17:49I was just trying to part your hair, panhandle.
17:52Have you joined up with Klendiaki?
17:54Yeah, that's the general idea.
17:55Started one probation.
17:57So far, we haven't anything to go on.
18:00Where does Jackie fit in?
18:01Well, he's a kingpin.
18:03My, I bet he's cagey, ain't he, Dave?
18:05We'll have to bait a trap to draw him out.
18:08I understand some of his men hang out in town.
18:11Yeah, I figure to start my trail there in the morning
18:14when I go to the bank to deposit this ranger money we used
18:17to convince Jackie I was one of them.
18:19It'll be safer there, I'm telling you.
18:21That Red's got a mighty hungry look in his eye for our money.
18:39You brought us some bad news today, Lee,
18:41about the Idaho kid.
18:43Now, I've got worse for you.
18:45Arlene Arthur moved in the halfway house just after you left
18:48and took over her uncle's interest.
18:50She'll probably take over his interest in the bank, too.
18:52She could.
18:53Joe owns 60% of the bank's stock.
18:56What'll I do, Jackie?
18:57You won't do anything.
18:58I'll do it for you.
18:59With the Idaho kid moving out of town,
19:01it means we've got to make a clean up and move on.
19:03Worse than that.
19:04I've got to make a clean up and move on.
19:06Where do we start?
19:07In the bank vault.
19:08When you open up for business in the morning,
19:10have the money in bags on the floor.
19:12Red and the boys will walk in like customers
19:14and walk out with the cash.
19:15No trouble with shooting.
19:16Miss Arthur's welcome to the bank after we empty it.
19:19But what about me?
19:20Where do I come in?
19:21Don't worry.
19:22You'll be taken care of.
19:25Come on.
19:26Come on.

20:48Well, it's open, doc.
20:49A young lady happens on it.
20:50I don't understand.
20:51Well, we'll make it plain.
20:52This author is taking over her late uncle's interest.
20:53Now.
20:54And we want the books.
20:55We're checking the cash on hand at the same time.

21:20Come in.
21:21Come in.
21:22Dr. Perkins, famous Indian oil.
21:23Can't please you a long demanded deal.
21:35I'd like to deposit this money for safekeeping.
22:02Well, you came to the right place.
22:05There's 500 head of cattle sold.
22:08That's right.
22:10What's this entry?
22:12Oh, that?
22:13That was a loan to John Phillips.
22:28Get out of here, quick!
22:47Quick!
22:48The Idaho Kid's in town!
22:49And I'm giving it to you.
23:20Come on, I forgot to load it.
25:16Come on, let's go.
25:40How'd you make out?
25:50Ask him.
25:51He double-cropped it.
25:52Wait a minute.
25:53You never told me you were going to clean out the bank.
25:55What were you doing there?
25:56Fixing to do a little business on my own.
25:58One red here started the fireworks.
26:00Better trail along with us.
26:02We'll all do better.
26:03Yeah, maybe we will.
26:06All right, I'm willing.
26:08It's a deal.
26:09It's a deal.
26:21Good evening, gentlemen.
26:22Howdy.
26:23We'll call this meeting to order.
26:25Despite the presence of the Idaho Kid,
26:27the bank was raided,
26:29and a member of this committee John Ellis killed.
26:32All the money that came after is back in the bank vault.
26:35But that's not enough.
26:36We want everyone connected with the raid.
26:38And when we catch them, we'll give them a fair trial.
26:40And if found guilty, they'll hang.
26:45Did you get a good look at any of them?
26:47I did.
26:48The only one that wasn't masked.
26:50Are you sure he was one of the raiders?
26:52He shot at me.
26:55I started a story going around town this afternoon
26:58that a quarter of a million dollars
27:00had come in to Delano secretly
27:02and was in the vault of the express company.
27:05What good will that do?
27:07You don't think Yackey would trust his men with that much money, do you?
27:10He'd be afraid they'd run out on him.
27:12Who wouldn't?
27:13If that amount of money doesn't bring Yackey into this town himself,
27:17nothing ever will.
27:18I must admit, that's a big hunk of bait.
27:21To catch a big fish, you have to use a big hook, Henry,
27:24even though there's no real bait on it.
27:27Too bad it's night and we can't see the expression on their faces
27:30when they find out there's nothing in that Fargo safe.
27:35I'm afraid the lamp will be on us if they don't show up.
27:38Say, that is possible.
27:40Possible, but not likely, Henry.
27:42Not if I know Mr. Yackey.
27:45We'd better get all set so we can spring the trap once they're in it.
28:03A quarter of a million.
28:04That's a lot of dinero.
28:05Well, I got a straight in Delano.
28:07It'll be the biggest haul we ever made.
28:09Wait a minute.
28:10Why did you do that?
28:11Because what's going on out there is none of your business.
28:14Everything that happens at Halfway House is my business.
28:16Your Uncle Joe thought that, too.
28:18And look what happened to him.
28:19Just what did happen to him.
28:21Butt in and you'll find out.
28:23I intend to.
28:25When we reach town, you boys spread out and cover the streets
28:27in case we should be discovered.
28:29All right.
28:35What's the matter?
28:36Didn't the boys invite you to go with them?
28:38No, but I reckon they still think of me as being a lawman.
28:42But you know I can't never be that no more.
28:46Yeah.
28:48Oh, I'll be seeing you.
29:04I'll be seeing you.
29:34Somebody's following us.
29:46We'd better make a move.
30:01What are you up to?
30:02Nothing.
30:03Well, I was just bouncing there all by myself.
30:05Say, ain't I a real outlaw now?
30:07Sure, but you've got a lot to learn about this business.
30:09Well, gosh, you can't learn nothing unless you let me
30:11string along with you.
30:12You'll keep out of this.
30:17But what a snake.
30:19Yank his book with all their names and the jobs he pulled in.
30:22Good work, panhandle.
30:23You get and keep out of my way.
30:48They're coming.
31:06With all of them masked, we don't know if Yankee's with them or not.
31:10Well, I'm not sure.
31:12But I'll bet he's one of them kind up at that post.
31:14Do the job together, Red.
31:16This is your first time with us, so you stay here as lookout.
31:26You all keep that one covered.
31:28I'll go around the building and come at them from the other end.
31:32When I close in, we'll get him and the two inside.
31:40I think we ought to close in now, Chuck.
32:11Let's take a look at you.
32:14You're the gent who tried to shoot me in the bank.
32:16Oh, I shot above your head.
32:18Get Tex Haynes.
32:19He'll explain who I am and what I'm doing here.
32:21We can see what you were doing here.
32:23You just stopped me from arresting Yankee in the act of blowing that safe in there.
32:26Since when does one of Yankee's own men arrest him?
32:29I'm a Texas Ranger.
32:30If you're a Ranger, prove it.
32:31Get Tex Haynes.
32:32He'll do that.
32:33All right.
32:38Let's go.
33:08All right.
33:28Get up with your hands in the air.
33:35All right.
33:36Come over here.
33:44Well, look what we drew.
33:47Mr. Haynes, the lawyer.
33:49Or if I'm not mistaken, the Idaho kid.
33:52That's possible.
33:53You don't know it is.
33:54I've been suspicious of you since I first saw you.
33:57It looks like you hold a winning hand.
33:59Well, we always do.
34:01You made a mistake in getting yourself in his hands.
34:04I've had losing hands before, but I'm still here.
34:08Get on your horse, kid.
34:24I don't care if there's no sun tomorrow.
34:29Let the stars fade and fall from the sky.
34:35After all, what's the use in sweet parties?
34:41I don't care since you told me goodbye.
34:47I don't care if I lose earthly fortune.
34:53I don't care if I live now or die.
34:59How could life hold a meaning without you?
35:05I don't care since you told me goodbye.
35:11I don't care if I never hear music.
35:17It would only bring tears to my eyes.
35:22Not a song did you leave in my heart, dear.
35:28I don't care since you told me goodbye.
35:34I don't care what the world says about me.
35:40I don't care since I trusted your lies.
35:46Though I realize I'm traveling the wrong road,
35:52I don't care since you told me goodbye.
36:02The Idaho kid don't seem worried none.
36:06He will be in a minute.
36:09Well, have you made up your mind about me?
36:11Not quite.
36:13Some of the boys are for shooting him now and getting it over with.
36:16Yeah, the worst way is to die.
36:19I'm thinking of one that you won't like.
36:22Shouldn't be hard for you.
36:24Believe me, it isn't.
36:27So what are we waiting on, Yaki?
36:30We've got the Idaho kid.
36:32You know what he did to the Evans gang.
36:35He hung them all but me.
36:38Let's do the same thing to him.
36:41Are you going to save yourself before we take you outside?
36:44No.
36:46Except that I still don't like the idea.
36:59I'll go see Yaki right away.
37:01We've got bad news for him.
37:06How did it come to Delano?
37:07They know you've got their man but they've got your own wife.
37:09They're going to try him and if they find him guilty, they'll hang him.
37:12They let me talk to him and he said to tell you he had a little black book with all your names in it.
37:27The book's gone.
37:28Where is it?
37:29Dave White's got it, I tell you.
37:30I've seen it but the committee don't know it.
37:32He said to tell you if you didn't get him out, he's going to turn it over to them.
37:37All right, Mr. Haynes, you're a lawyer.
37:39Tell us how to get Dave White away from your committee.
37:42Well, you could send someone with this message.
37:45We have Tex Haynes.
37:48Hang Dave White and we'll do the same with your man.
37:51And that's just what's going to happen.
37:54Get going with that message.
37:55Why me?
37:56I just come from there.
37:57Besides, my feet are killing me.
37:59I can't imagine what's wrong with it.
38:01Well, sure, sure.
38:02I'm going right now.
38:03Oh, wait a minute.
38:06If I were you, I'd send Miss Arthur with him.
38:10The committee might not believe him.
38:12Go with him.
38:14And tell them that if our man is not back here by the time that clock strikes ten,
38:18the Idaho kid will be dancing on air.
38:21I'll tell them.
38:33All right.
39:04Oh, I changed my mind.
39:28For an hour now, you've stuck to the same story.
39:30I'll give you one more chance to change it.
39:32Look, I've told you who I am, why I'm here, what I'm doing in Delano,
39:36and why I was with the Yaki gang last night.
39:38You still insist that Tex Haynes wrote to you asking you to meet him here?
39:41That's right.
39:42The letter's on file at Ranger headquarters.
39:43You expect us to swallow that story about your being a Ranger?
39:46We know that you showed up at the halfway house wearing handcuffs
39:49and trying to get away from the sheriff.
39:51If you're a Ranger, why can't you produce your papers and your staff?
39:55I gave them to Panhandle, my partner, to hide.
39:57Just in case the Yaki gang got suspicious, they wouldn't find them on me.
40:00That's what you say, but you can't prove it.
40:07What's the matter with you?
40:08Oh, my feet are killing me.
40:13You must be the sheriff.
40:14Don't you know that every minute counts?
40:16Two men will die if we don't get to Delano in time.
40:18I'll die before we get there.
40:20My boots are killing me.
40:22Oh, come on.
40:31You've had a fair and impartial trial.
40:34You men will give your verdict by the card you put on the table.
40:38A red card means jail.
40:40A black one, a rope.
40:47All black.
40:49Stand up.
40:56Hey, partner.
40:57Hey, partner.
40:58You got a message for whoever's in charge of law and order here.
41:01Concerns a fella named Tex Haynes, better known as the Idaho Kid.
41:05Come with me.
41:10For attempted bank robbery and the killing of a bank teller,
41:13you'll be hung at ten o'clock.
41:15Whoa, whoa, whoa.
41:16Hey, hey, you can't do that.
41:17Wait a minute.
41:18Wait a minute.
41:19What?
41:20Hold everything.
41:21You can't do that.
41:22Well, I suppose you're going to tell us that he's a Ranger.
41:24Sure is, and I'm working with him.
41:26Yesterday, you were a sheriff, and he was escaping from me.
41:29Maybe we'd better investigate you, mister.
41:32Give them my papers and start, Panhandle.
41:34Yeah.
41:35I'll show you who's a Ranger.
41:40They're all gone.
41:41For the life of me, I can't think what I done to them things.
41:44Well, for the life of me, you'd better.
41:46Well, it's your fault.
41:47You told me to hide them so Yaki and none of that gang could find out who we are.
41:51That's just what I done.
41:52Oh, come on, Panhandle.
41:53Think.
41:54What'd you do with them?
41:55Oh, I can't think of nothing.
41:56My feet hurt me so bad, I can't remember nothing.
42:00Mr. Wright, if you hang Dave Wyatt, Yaki will hang Tex Haynes.
42:03They've set a deadline.
42:04If Dave isn't back at 10 o'clock, it'll be too late.
42:07They sent you with that message?
42:09Yes.
42:10They wouldn't dare.
42:11But they will.
42:12If Dave isn't at the halfway house at 10 o'clock...
42:14They want us to exchange our prisoner for theirs?
42:17Yes.
42:20It's up to you.
42:26The verdict stands.
42:28I'll rig the gallop.
42:29You'd better start thinking and doing it fast.
42:31That rope is almost around my neck.
42:36There's no time to Dave on the road.
42:38I've had a fellow watching for over an hour.
42:40Mel, bring us those prints.
42:43Turn back.
42:44Turn back.
42:45Go time in thy flight.
42:47Make me a boy again just for the night.
42:50Turn back.
42:51Turn back.
42:52Go time in thy flight.
42:54Make me a boy again just for the night.
43:05Say something.
43:08Longfellow.
43:10I don't know who he is, but he's a good man.
43:13He's a good man.
43:14He's a good man.
43:15He's a good man.
43:16He's a good man.
43:17I don't know who he is, but he sure has forgotten you.
43:20Well, he's your friend.
43:21He don't care what happens to you now.
43:23Oh, I wouldn't say that.
43:26After all, maybe my friends think you won't hang me.
43:30You know, a lawyer comes in handy sometimes.
43:33In a very few minutes, you won't be much of anything.
43:35I'll say you won't.
43:37We're ready to swing him any time you give the word, Jackie.
43:42Won't be long now.
43:43We'll take him off his own horse.
43:46Well.
43:48Now, ain't that right, nice of him?
43:50We're going to give you the last ride on your own horse.
43:56I can't think of anything nicer, mister.
44:00Thanks.
44:06Works good, Frank.
44:07Bring the wagon back.
44:09I'd like to be granted one last request.
44:12Granted?
44:13Panhandle, for not being able to remember
44:15what you did with our credentials,
44:17I'd like to leave you one last thing to remember me by.
44:20Oh, gosh.
44:21My boot.
44:22Oh, boot, boot.
44:23That's it, that's it.
44:24No wonder my feet have been killing me.
44:26Oh, boy.
44:27No wonder my feet have been killing me.
44:28Here, help me get this off.
44:33There you are.
44:34There you are.
44:35Now, now, who says we ain't rangers?
44:38David Wyatt, Norwalk.
44:41Untie him.
44:42Untie him.
44:44We take our orders from you, rangers.
44:46Now, you better follow me,
44:47because we haven't much time to stop a real hanging.
44:49By the way, this is a record of Jackie's crimes
44:51and the money they got for each job.
44:53In case I don't get back, the names are in it, too.
45:12Hey, what's the matter?
45:35I thought we was going to hang that guy at 10 o'clock.
45:3710 o'clock we will.
45:38a. Ten fifteen.
45:49Times up. Too bad. I was having
45:57a fine dream. I dream that you and your gang is hanging to
46:01a big tree if the other way you're swinging alone and now.
46:08And.
46:38The.
47:09The.
47:20Right behind me let me get out.
47:38The.
47:38The.
47:40The.
47:41The the.
48:05That's one of the. I'll tell you.
48:11The the.
48:41The the.
49:11The the.
49:41The the.
50:00Well I love.
50:11The the.
50:24The.
50:31The.
50:41The the.
51:10The.
51:11The the.
51:24Well.
51:24You know got me.
51:39Thirteen back.
51:47I'm glad you ran your hands to Texas letter in person I'm still wondering one letter
51:52time back. When I found out I was coming to head Henry's committee I wrote Dave
51:58a letter but to keep it quiet that Jackie was our game and I told you
52:02a funny story and I've been laughing about it ever since Jackie and his gang I'm
52:07laughing now I don't guess they are laughing but Henry go easy on Bill and if she
52:12made it possible for me to get away I see she gets all these. I've got
52:16a vacation I'm coming back here I hope it's soon.
52:22If I read it along all that.
52:29I always did thank you and it was better than. Good luck.
