early West record many stories of famous

and notorious characters of that period

terrorized the Northwest in the 90s this

vicious killer had a temper so violent

and unpredictable that only criminals as

depraved as himself dared team up with

him

Oregon and tried with Dave Merrill they

were sentenced to the Oregon State

Penitentiary for 20 years

like all other convicts the two men were

taught a useful trade three years passed

quietly and unevently in the terrifying

name of Harry Tracy had all but been

forgotten

hasn't plumbered today look into the

future Dave let's look into the future

I'm not here by accident Dave somebody

double crossed me

when I get out of here I'm gonna find

out who

stop staying and get busy got some more

[Music]

as soon as Frankie and I arrived in

alerted territory we checked with the

sheriff of Spokane Washington the area

where the two convicts were last seen

last time we had a tip on him he's on

his way to hideout with a family called

Billings

Matt you don't think he can be headed in

the same direction do you well I doubt

it Frankie do you happen to know this

Billings family sure respectable people

the old man died about two years ago the

old lady lives down on the farm all by

herself places kind of run down

as much as I think Tracy's too smart to

go there it might be a good idea to

question this Mrs Billings

how about it Frankie

I always get all the dull assignments

what are you doing that's so important

something equally unexciting writing a

newspaper story

that is if the newspaper's around here

will cooperate well they'd better

sure it's the one thing that Tracy

doesn't know about his great power mail

is it

he's the one that told me where Tracy

was heading that time he stole the coach

that's a well-known fact that most

criminals like to read about themselves

in the papers

I just been thinking

Tracy could learn the real reason why he

was caught that last time it might prove

real interesting

[Music]

oh you've got the nail Todd yes ma'am

anything besides the weekly newspaper

well they look very interesting

it's a deal from the grocery you know

since you boys have been here I've been

so busy chatting and cooking I haven't

had time to read the paper you haven't

missed anything well we never was much

for reading around here anyway

let's go

thank you

come on we're going to hang around this

place you know Dave you've been jumpy

ever since we got here why why

because we're on the Dodge that's why as

long as the old lady doesn't know who we

are we're safe one of these days that

newspaper is going to have pictures in

it yeah

this one has

you better get rid of it boy

read it Dave

go on read it

you know Dave I always did wonder why

there were two detectives on the

stagecoach that day

I didn't tell him Harry I swear I didn't

you were dead set against coming here to

Billings Place why

I just thought the best we keep on the

Move that's all Harry

was gonna hide out here once before Oh
