do you mean you plan this trying to

steal the ranch for the boy so you could

get your hands onto it you can't say

this to me hold it Gabby you can't

settle anything like this no we'll

owner outside and introduce him to his

hired hands yeah wait'll we tell him

that girl did he he sure did he was a

sprightly old bird wasn't me how old was

he when he died 75 I heard he was killed

in an accident or something is that

right yeah he was riding home and his

horse threw him riding at that age I saw

him talk of buckin bronc when he was 60

he's been riding that old white horse he

has every day for years say I wondered

why he wanted me to have this hymnbook

Roy for reasons of my own I believe

something may happen to me in the event

of my death I am asking you to make an

investigation for reasons of his own

what do you suppose that means it means

it wasn't an accident

that he knew he was going to be murdered

and wait till Kennedy hears this Conny

story we're not sure it's a murder angle

it's news we're not gonna print it what

did you just tell Jen Holloway you print

I'll have to go out and get it I'll get

it for you thank you

hello operator get me the st. Louis

Chronicle quick

paper anymore look do you I'll take care

of this from now on you're not gonna

make a move until I tell you well I hope

you know what you're doing I don't think

either one of us like that word murder

what's the idea

oh that good story don't you think you

don't believe in ethics do you you

agreed not to print anything that might

have been your idea it wasn't mine so

you end up with a half a story and it

might stop any chance we had to find out

if Talbot was murdered look boy I'm a

newspaper woman I print stories file

there hop

it's a printers ink in my blood I can't

help you okay if that's the way you want

to work it's alright with me but from

[Applause]

hello sheriff

hello Jim you were just gonna sin for

you sheriff I'll bet you were

he's dead isn't he about as dead as a

gift hmm

Tom Center anybody mind telling me how

this man was killed there were two of

them prowling around sheriff they

started shooting then made a run for it

the other one got away

sure like know what they was up to I'd

like to know a lot of things that are

going on around here especially this

article about Talbot being murdered I'm

sorry sheriff but I don't know a thing

about this article it wasn't in the star

maybe you'd better ask miss Edwards

Connie Edward st. Louis Chronicle

Sheriff and a statement can we expect an

arrest within 24 hours I do I know I

didn't know anything about this until

Jan walked in my office I made a

complaint oh so that's why you're here

miss Holloway how does it happen that

you're so concerned with his story you

might as well have said that I killed

Sam Talbot your deduction was clear

enough I was left out of the will so

naturally Sam must have thought I was

going to murder him I'd like to know

what your information is young woman

where you got it oh well sure if I'm

sorry I can't reveal it

oh you can't eh well you listen to me

there's been a man killed here and you

seem to have private information about

things now you better start talking and

talk fast

oh look sheriff I'm a newspaper woman we

don't read the other source of our

information mm-hmm

big game stuff huh well that might be

all right where you come from but I'll

tell you the way this bumpkin police

force operates she won't talk so you're

going to jail jail

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

what's Duke ya writin Sam Talbot horse

what are you doing bringing the major

here hello

may you hi funny breaking out of his

stall I guess he got lonesome just

standing in the barn he always knows

when to gee comes around he's a pretty

smart horse they didn't have it seems

anybody else

Sam rode the major over here every

Tuesday morning for year can I stay for

breakfast

can't i daddy oh I guess we can rush it

up a couple of eggs and now that you

hear it wasn't my fault

the major came over here all by himself

oh sure sure maybe that's an idea what

do you mean Sam was riding home from the

breakfast club the day he was killed

if we sent the major back over the same

trail reconstructing the crime okay

Sherlock I'm with you I'm not sure the

sheriff Norton is pretty close how do we

shake that last badge we waiting you

ready to leave Gaby we'll take care of

him

an eye on you come on get on oh that's

and let him pick his own way home

give him his head huh

come on well I'm ready come on

[Music]

you know something told me I wasn't the

cowgirl type

you couldn't help it he would have

thrown anybody I wonder what made him

rare like that you must have seen a

rattlesnake or something then why didn't

trigger see it hey that's right

something else must have frightened him

something that happened here before this

is just about where they found Sam's

body

well you certainly must have looked over

the grounds but not for murder clues we

thought it was an accident

[Music]

what have you got there nothing I

thought you weren't gonna hold out on me

anymore

why Roy you know I wouldn't do it oh

that I just watch I've picked up to Sam

Talbot kin recognition of his services

to the American Hereford Association

this set the time of the killing 917 it

couldn't have run underwater could not

an old watch like this besides the hands

wouldn't turn with the crystal broken

yeah let's see what else we can find

[Music]

Sam help us ghost here there he's

mourning it yelling in his grave

stop it to Borya holy my junior Tony

your train whistle you heard Devorah get

up get up to warrior

I'm sorry miss Jan I couldn't help

that's the same way that horse came

skittering in the day he was killed

and I heard that same squeaking boys

right after de bourree oh I'm sorry miss

Jan

Jan come on gang get hold yourself thing

like that's a little hard on the nurse

we thought maybe miss Connie been

throwed I was

I'm sure relieved you ain't hurt miss I

know that Jonah was on somebody that's

the second time I heard mr. Sam's voice

a moaning you're not superstitious are

you Devorah no sir

oh hell I did moaning from the grave

just like the last time that horse come

in without no rider they said it was the

train was but I ain't gonna bleed

whistle

you heard it both times I sure did mr.

Roy it said just like that we've gotta

gimme Duke you better run along well

that's Sam's watch though that's the

time it stopped 917 that establishes the

time Talbot was killed

well what event but I don't know what

that proves anything well don't you get

a Gaby what time's the morning train

come through here 8:40 fire of course

you know that right ask me whistles for

Herbert Junction all right figured out

for yourself Devore you heard both times

at exactly eight forty-five the what

stopped a half an hour later the horse

came in before he was killed and Sam was

murdered what happened to him during

that mission half hour

that's what we have to find out it's a

good theory Roy providing there was no

other train through and are you sure the

local was on time we've got to check on

that Connie we'll have a talk of the

station agent

hi Roy hi Bob say what's your morning

train schedule just the 8:45 that's been

on time - last year that ought to be

good item for the star thanks a lot

do you want to print my picture let me

know at the same time it all adds up now

let's see I think the next thing we

should do is he the sheriff that can

wait we're stopping in to see the corner

he's the one man who should know whether

that fall killed Sam or not

Jud

sure would like to take a look at the

record own Talbot well if you work for

The Chronicle you do it

accidental death which occurred on

Monday May the 13th cause of death

depressed fracture of the skull if you

had asked me I would have shown that to

your Rodgers

oh hello Jed well we thought you

wouldn't mind we were just in a big

hurry

I barely have time to make my deadline

just a minute what were you looking for

information on Talbots death it was

accidental death do you know that you

printed the story at the time

circumstances if you care to refresh

your memory we're quite simple he fell

from his horse and struck his head the

reporters don't seem to pay much

attention to the law I caught you

rifling my files let's see what the

sheriff has to say about it

sure sure sure get him over here I want

to get a court order anyway I'd like to

have the body exhumed

[Music]

was riding back from The Breakfast Club

Steve stopped him on the trail told him

I'd been hurt down to the Falls we

talked to him to try to find out if it

about the watch deciding that the horse

that come in before the accident was bad
