Any word yet, warden ?

No grassmen sighted all night.

Are you sure they got my message
at Yucca Wells ?

They got it alright.

You think they've hung him
already ?

"Received your message.
No Manuel Ruiz held here."

"Mistake. Bill Thompson,
Marshal Yucca Wells."

You going to Yucca Wells ?

A man's life
may depend on it, warden.

And now, "Colt .45"

A Warner Bros. television production.

Colt !

Marshal Thompson ?

- I'm Captain Colt.
- Colt ?

Oh, Chris Colt.
What you doing down here ?

Well, like it says I never heard
of any Manuel Ruiz.

You didn't come
all that way for this ?

I got this letter last week.

Dated may 20th.

Yucca Wells. Read it.

Manuel Ruiz wrote that
he was being held for the murder

of Rancher Carl Benson, who
was killed on the 17th of May.

On that date Manuel was
in the Yuma Penitentiary.

His parole dated May 18th.

Well, I don't doubt you, Colt.

But till I got your telegraph

I never heard of Ruiz.

There's been no killing here.

Somebody's played a joke on you,
Colt. Clean and dirty.

But Manuel wrote that he was
arrested on the 20th of May.

Was there anyone held here
on that date ?

No, I don't rightly recall.

Let me see.

No. Quiet day.

Not even a drunk locked up.
See for yourself.

It's too bad
you came all this way.

Well a man's life
might have been at stake.

Mighty few people would've
gone through that trouble.

I guess, you had to be sure
though.

Well, one thing for sure.

That letter was sent from here.

It's our mark alright.

Can you tell me who sent it ?

Afraid not.

I'd like to help you, captain,
but I can't keep track

of every letter that passes
through my hands.

May 20.

Nothing special happened that
day, I remember.

Day like any other.

Thank you, ma'am.

This doesn't make sense,
Captain Colt.

My husband isn't dead.

Where is your husband now ?

I suppose it can't be kept
a secret forever.

Not with thing like
this crank letter.

People do gossip.

I don't understand.

Well, Captain Colt..

...when a woman's been
deserted by her husband

after 12 years of marriage..

...it's bound to cause talk.

Especially in a town
as small as Yucca Wells.

You know where Mr. Benson went ?

I don't..

Carl's always been
a restless man.

He's gone away before,
but he always came back.

But this time
he's burned his bridges.

I can get along
very well without him.

This is a good size ranch
for a woman to run alone.

I have a competent foreman.
I can manage.

I'm sorry to have bothered you,
ma'am.

My foreman Gabe Randall.
Captain Colt.

The captain came out here
looking for a man.

Maybe you've heard of him.

His name was..

Manuel Ruiz.

No, sir.

That fencing out needs a patch

it sure took a licking
from the windstorm.

Have it fixed.

The captain was asking
about Carl.

Has there been any talk in town ?

I thought he was looking
for this Ruiz fella.

Oh, the captain's just doing
his job, Gabe.

Place to ask questions
is from our marshal.

I did.

The letter.

If you, if you find out

who wrote it,
will you let me know ?

I'll let you know.

Pleasure to have you
as our guest.

Captain Colt.

You, looking for something ?

20th of May.

You'll find it right over there.

I'll look here.

If you're looking for somebody
in particular

I got a good memory.

A Manuel Ruiz.

He stayed here ?

No he didn't.

You're sure about that ?

Yes, I'm sure.

Writing don't come easy
to some folks.

Ashley made a mistake.
He erased it and wrote over.

It happens often.

Often ?

Well, I can show you other pages.

'You still want that room ?'

My name's in the register,
isn't it ?

- What'll be ?
- 'Colt.'

- Have one on me.
- No, thanks.

Town this size,
you must have a coroner ?

We have.
What would you want with him ?

I'd like to check his records
for the third week in May.

You making me out a liar ?

Coroner's records
usually tell the truth.

I hear you went out
to Janice Benson's.

She sent you a telegram too ?

Coroner's name is Karp.
Doc Karp.

You go have a talk to him.

Then if you want to call me
a liar to my face

I'll be in my office.

What is your problem,
Captain Colt ?

Dr. Karp, I'd like to examine
your records

for the third week in May.

Long time back.

Did you write out
a death certificate

for anyone at that time

Yucca Wells is a healthy town

I've had little to do of late.

I'd still like to have a look
at your book.

There is no entry
for the third week in May.

In fact there were no patients
that week at all.

A very healthy town,
Captain Colt.

No place for anybody like me.

Thank you, doctor.

You old fool,
what did you tell him.

No law against
talking to a man is there ?

What did you tell him ?

I told him the truth.

That Yucca Wells is no place
for a real doctor.

And what else ?

Marshal... in the matter
you are referring too

I said nothing.

Nothing at all.

Words don't mean anything anyway.

Not anymore.

Like those of Hippocrates
the young doctor say.

When you get older and tireder

Hippocrates gets changed
to hypocrisy... so easily.

So easily.

How'd those men get in my room ?

What men ?

This Aben Ashley

The one who couldn't remember
his name where can I find him ?

I've answered
enough of your questions.

You haven't answered
one of my questions yet.

I'm trying to locate
an Aben Ashley.

Can you tell me
where I'll find him ?

Aben ? He was a no-account.

Still it ain't my provenance
to predict where he landed.

I can tell you where we left him.

Under six feet of dirt
up on Boot Hill.

He ain't had much mail lately.

Nobody's sure of the right
forwarding address.

Thank you.

Oh, you're just in time
for coffee.

Manuel Ruiz was in this jail.

He was registered at the hotel
the 20th of May

and somehow a dead man
erased his name.

A man by the name of Aben Ashley.

Been dead for two years.

- Now, that doesn't make sense.
- It doesn't ?

You might as well get the facts,
marshal.

I'm staying here
until I get the truth.

I told you the truth.

Colt, you're a man of reason.

Let's say Ruiz was here.

Now, how in thunder would he get
a letter out without my knowing ?

And if I had anything to hide,
would I let such letter out ?

You keep a record
of the meals fed the prisoners ?

Well..

"'How about an expense account ?"

Sure, but I do my figuring
at the end of the week.

Keep no separate account
of meals.

Mrs. O'Neil does my cooking
for me.

Pay her average
at 50 cents a feed.

Widow woman,
lives across the way.

I want to talk to her.

Look, Colt,
this isn't an army matter.

Get her.

Coffee turned cold
talking to you.

Sure hate cold coffee.

Alright, Colt.

I'll let you talk to her.

Can't you get it
through your head

that nothing's happened here.

Warden, let me out of this
blasted dungeon.

Doc Karp. I had to lock
him up last night for his own good.

Your Royal Highness.

How did I get in here ?

I figured you'd be safer here

without that bottle in your hand.

I could use a drink.

- Coffee.
- Coffee ?

I don't mind sleeping
in your flea infested Bastille

but don't insult me.

Did I meet you some place ?
A long time ago.

Yesterday in your office.

Captain Colt wanted to look
at your books remember ?

Oh, yes, captain.

I'm afraid I was not myself
when we met yesterday.

- Will you please excuse me.
- Go on, doc, get out.

Hold your tongue, marshal.

Is that one of your own rules ?

Dr. Karp, I'd like to show you
a letter.

From Manuel Ruiz.

Listen, I've had enough
of your interference.

If I only had a drink to stir
the fickle memory.

- This ain't a saloon.
- Hold it, marshal.

- You remember the letter ?
- Well, sure he does.

You showed it to him yesterday.

I'm sorry, I didn't.

Yesterday ? It's a long time
since yesterday.

You see ? The old sock
doesn't make sense.

I'm a doctor.
A doctor of medicine.

Thompson here
can't understand that

all he thinks of is his job.

How to keep it. No matter how,
no matter what.

You wanted to talk
to Mrs. O'Neil, Colt ?

It'll wait.

It's just across the way.

[, this is one promise
I kept at least.

Can't you see
he's just putting on an act.

Just trying to figure out a way
for you to buy him a drink.

He's unreliable too.

I found this page from
the ledger, hidden in his desk.

But he burned it, I..

You might as well talk, doctor.

This promise you made,
was it to Manuel Ruiz ?

The promise I kept ?

To Ruiz yes.

Ruiz, poor boy.

He shouted half the night
that he was innocent

that he was in some other jail.

He shouted himself hoarse.

'I heard him all the way across
the street in the saloon'

'and then I came over here.'

He gave me five dollars
and this letter to mail.

He slipped it through the bars.

I'll be on my way.

Colt, that old rumpot..

What happened to Ruiz ?

He's dead.

I didn't have anything to do
with it, Gabe Randall..

Carl Benson and Gabe Randall had
an argument over Mrs. Benson

Gabe killed him.

He threatened to kill me.

Have his hired guns kill me,
if I made him any trouble.

Does Mrs. Benson know the truth ?

She was there
when Gabe fired the shot.

What does this
have to do with Ruiz ?

Ruiz drifted into Yucca Wells
looking for work

People were beginning
to ask questions

I couldn't put 'em off,
I told Gabe

that the truth will come out.

And Ruiz went out to the ranch,
looking for work.

Gabe took one look at him

choosing to kill him
in robbing Carl.

Wasn't hard making it stick.

Ruiz was a drifter
and a saddle tramp.

Did you show Gabe my telegram ?

Sure.

I thought I'll be able to
release Ruiz, but

he came that night..

...took and lynched him.

Made a whole town
their accomplice.

And you call yourself a lawman ?

No. Not anymore.

Me, I, I just..

...lock up drunks
and look the other way.

Come on.

Where ?

To Benson's.

I haven't got the stomach for it.

Colt.

They'll kill you.

You'd like that just fine,
wouldn't you ?

Then you'll go find yourself
another scapegoat.

'Not another step, Colt.'

Saw you riding in.

I knew you was trouble
the first minute I saw you.

You're a stubborn man, Colt.

One who has to be killed
or bought.

You're both wanted for the murder

of Carl Benson and Manuel Ruiz.

They must train fools
in the army.

He's no fool.

We'll pay you anything you want.

Then you'll find your grave here.

Three guns against yours, Colt.

No more killing by you, Gabe.

It's too late for talk.

You're under arrest.

Oh, Gabe.

On your feet.

I recalled the oath I took,
when I accepted this.

Move on, both of you.

Maybe you'd best hold this till

Yucca Wells find another man.

I can't take it, marshal,
I'm under federal orders.

No one else around.
At least not now.

Marshal here is not to blame,
captain.

Blame me, blame a whole town

that was too scared to stand up
to one of two men.

Because the marshal thought
for a day or two he was afraid

doesn't make him a lesser man.

It take more courage
to admit fear, then to deny it.

I've lived with fear all my life.

Fear of myself mostly.
That's the worst kind.

The marshal here is only afraid
of a man with a gun.

And I kinda imagine
he's gotten over it.

What about you, doc ?

Well, I make no promises.

I don't believe in 'em,
but I'll do the best I can.

Like I said, Colt,
till they find another man.

I think they found him, marshal.
Good luck.

Doc.
