cattle you've been raising you would

have to talk to Miss Jan about that you

circulation than my paper it might pay

you to get in a plug for the spring

Gabby do the talking I wish old Sam

Talbert was alive to tell

it what a story he could have told all

the years he put in building the herd

and proving the

breed well I guess that's the way it

bucking Bron when he was 60 he's been

riding that old white horse he is every

this hm book

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

you hello operator get me the St Louis

Chronicle

quick they seem to think that Sam talber

girl he had with him sure and he gave

her the

story where are you

care of this from now on you're not

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 talbet was murdered

look Roy I'm a newspaper woman I print

stories while they're hot it's a printer

Inc in my blood I can't help it okay if

that's the way you want to work it's all

like to know a lot of things that are

going on around

here especially this article about

talber being

murdered I'm sorry sheriff but I don't

Edwards

Connie Edward St Louis Chronicle Sheriff

any statement can we expect an arrest

within 24 hours how do I know I didn't

know anything about this until Jan

walked into my office and made a

complaint oh so that's why you're

here miss Holloway how does it happened

that you're so concerned with this

story you might as well have said that I

killed Sam T but 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 and where you got it oh

well Sheriff I'm sorry I can't reveal

that oh you can't eh but 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

it hey that's

right something else must have

frightened him

something had 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 going to hold out on

me anymore why Roy you know I wouldn't

do

it that I just the watch I've picked up

to Sam

talber in recognition of his services to

the American Herford Association this at

the time of the killing

9917 it couldn't have run underwater

could it not an old watch like this

besides the hands wouldn't turn with the

crystal broken yeah let's see what else

we can

[Music]

find

what you going to do with them we're

going to put them up for auction at the

sale

tomorrow look look Miss

Jan this Sam C puts

ghost hear that he's moaning and yling

in his grave stop it Doria I heard him I

tell you it's only a train whistle you

heard

dvor get up get up

d'oria I'm Sorry Miss Jan I couldn't

help

it that's the same way that horse came

skittering in the day he was killed and

I heard that same squeaking voice right

after

Doria I'm Sorry Miss Jan I heard what I

heard

Jen come on Jen get hold of

yourself thing like that's a little hard

on the

nerves let's see if Gabby's

back I still say I heard what I

H

well just like a beauty paror huh yes

ma'am getting ready for the auction

tomorrow we thought maybe Miss Conny had

been thr I was I'm sure relieved you

ain't hurt Miss I know the J was on

somebody that's the second time I heard

Mr Sam's voice a moaning you're not

superstitious are you dorya no sir I

heard it moaning from the grave just

like the last time that horse come in

without no Rider they said it was the

train whistle but I ain't going to

believe it

whistle you heard it both times I sure

did Mr Roy he

[Music]

saying just like that we've got it Gabby

Duke you better run along with theoria

Come On

Son look at

this well that's Sam's watch no the time

it stopped 9:17 that establishes the

time Talbert was killed well I suppose

it could have been but I don't know if

that proves anything well don't you get

it Gabby what time's the morning train

come through here 8:45 of course you

know that without asking me whistles for

Herford Junction all right figur it out

for yourself Doria heard it both times

at exactly 8:45 the watch 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 better check on that Connie

we'll have a talk with The Station

Agent hi Roy hi Bob say what's your

morning train schedule just the 8:45

that's been on time for the last

year that ought to be good item for the

star thanks a lot you want to print my

picture let me know

wh blew at the same time it all adds up

now let's see I think the next thing we

should do is see 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

yeah

Jud

record on

talit well if you work for the chronicle
