strange faces around town doing the last few days the only strange faces i've seen have been on troopers must have been a hundred of myself i know i know any others oh no don't recall any that murder happened on the 23rd didn't it that's right i'm afraid i can't help you i was out of town that day i see on business yes i had to run down to dodge city well if you do recall seeing anything that might interest us to communicate with the sheriff's office will you i certainly will their fellows who committed that crime want to be strung up looks like the whole town agrees with you there mr cunningham hell good day we're no mirror solution of this case and we were yet we're not we're not through checking it sure yes i know i've called you to here to act as a sort of clearinghouse of me for all these tips and reports and whatnot i should say that we have at least 200 memorandums here and all of them must be going over that's okay with me sheriff hands with me good now let's see his report from the telephone company on all out of town calls suppose we hold on to this and check them later that's a good idea now here let's see tony willing just saw a new sedan with oklahoma plates on the 23rd doesn't say who was in the car here stone you brought this in yourself get some more dope well you know later of course isn't and here uh miss higgins's class hasn't found any jar yes he reports this oh i remember this here's a man who telephones late last night and said he saw a car with four suspicious looking men about 10 p.m looked like criminals he said on the night of the 23rd yeah here keeling you look him up and get his complete story i'm afraid getting clues in this case isn't going to be so easy sheriff oh by the way uh is there any change in the condition of shriner and writer no the doctor still have them on the critical list i certainly wish i could question them again they may be able to give us some more information compared well let's go on here's a report from the telegraph company 42 wires received and transmitted on the 23rd and the 56th on the 24th all over the state most of them elmville emporia hutchton and here free to lauren one from dodge city

cunningham what i said it was sent to that sheriff when did you say it was sent on the 24th why what's it all about keeling i don't know what it's all about but this may be very interesting i saw cunningham a little while ago and questioned him about where he was and all that on the 23rd and then uh and he said he was out of town on that day in dodge city well whatever well if he was in dodge city on the 23rd why should you receive a while on the 24th and inviting him to dinner seems to me would have got that invitation in person well i don't know no keeling maybe there's something in what you say but say look look at this there is another wire to cunningham and this one from dodge city too and listen to this i hope you are feeling better and are all right fine alan file so the grant

not a little sense that it didn't go out taking out keeling and locking up right we'll talk to him later i have bad news for you although writer died this morning he's too dead yeah no we can show for it so far as one possible suspect shriner stated definitely that cunning ham was not one of the men who held him up we did get cunning ham to admit that he was going to buy the bonds from pyle harry pyle has a perfect alibi he was not in hospital all that day what about the other one alan pyle he's harry's son call him baby they're not so sure about him even shriner could identify possibly said he wasn't sure on account of the math that's a fake alchemy yeah excuse me yeah well starting yeah anybody killed huh that's good yeah we'd like to get it down five passengers you sit down black

won't believe me but i'll tell you where you can get him you'll find stover between kansas state teachers in central and the school is tied six to six kansas has a ball and it's perfect i don't have seven to go but they may kick now come on one's dropping back oh no he's not got any double wing back formation that goes to ball he stopped he's trying to reverse but but oh and some central city right in smothered him boy what a tackle that was one of the stuff in this track wrong for five ten twelve yards and a lot here it is left down and nineteen to go kansas ball fourth down nineteen to go boy oh boy what a game only a few more minutes to play for planning up now and yep lightning thing is in there all right they're getting back like he's going to carry the ball and you all know what he can do kansas starback lightning they call him hasn't done so much so far but it wasn't his fault they're not saving him he's back now i think it's too bad oh boy what a run that was looks like put it just down for kansas yes because of every first down first down on the 12 yard line 12 yards to go for the touchdown lining up again finding it back yes like they're going to get the ball of the fight again oh something's up that's where he blew his whistle it's like a penalty no no no i'm just saying it's happening folks you know what it is oh some trouble i guess two troopers are walking on the field there's two more and believe it or not folks is there about ten inches all over the field walking towards kansas teams you know what's happening folks as soon as i find out i'll let you know look at that very better taking lighting off looking like he's going off the field how's the hero yeah mainly touchdowns today you don't have to worry about no irritability here you can play both my life can't say here oh sure oh you can't run so fast with them chains on your legs can you now why don't you have to warden to take them off here do it for you you're a football hero how about you pal
