Parker we finally caught you with the

goods Parker has always maintained that

the right of human beings to eat is

higher than the right of game to live he

claims the state owes its first duty to

its citizens not to animals sounds like

pretty good

sense

I've called an emergency session of this

committee to hear a startling story of

corruption I want you to hear it as I

heard it from an eyewitness whose

character and integrity I can V for Mr

Brooke thank

you

lady and

gentlemen I'm here to tell you about

voters voters dissatisfied not with

their government but with a man in their

Community appointed by you he dictates

their very existence citizens regimented

under threat of starvation forced into

paying him for

jobs this is serious serious there's

going to be a lot of people around here

glad to testify nobody's going to

testify hey the old man must be in the

shed well I'm not threatening you Parker

I'm just reminding you that you've got a

family and you better think of them

before you go shooting off your mouth to

any investigating

committee I am thinking of about my

youngsters and I'm thinking about the

sort of country they ought to have to

grow up in even if it is only a dust

bowl they've got the right to be free in

it now you go back to that tinhorn

dictator and tell him here's one man you

couldn't Buffalo that I'll tell the

world about him and his gang of

buzzards Oldtimer I certainly admire

your speech

shake you ask for it I wouldn't do

that thanks boys are you hurt Dan no but

if I didn't have a story to tell before

I sure got a good one now and witnesses

to prove it all right on your

way

you shouldn't have said that father B

singer would know it anyway but now I'll

do anything to keep you from testifying

that's right now we'll have to see that

you and the rest of the witnesses have

protection I suspect we better see the

sheriff right away boys you mustn't go

into town the sheriff has a warrant out

for your arrest what for for Wrecking

Ball Singer's office well it looks like

he's trying to keep us away from that

hearing too yeah we'll notify the other

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you have just been transferred directly

to Manhunt headquarters at gunsight

Ridge flash Wildman Parker has finally

been cornered in a trap

[Music]

[Music]

Sheriff Nolan has worked his men up

within Striking Distance of the pillar

so far they've been protected by the

Rocks but now 100 yards of Open Country

lie between them and the Outlaws fire

will any of them dare risk

[Music]

it Parker has stopped firing maybe one

of those bullets has found its Mark

apparently the sheriff thinks so because

he's ordering his men to move

[Music]

in

[Music]

[Music]

we're asking you to withdraw the posi

for a few hours if we can only get two

will we're certain we can persuade him

to

surrender I can't risk it boys he'll

probably shoot you down before you can

get near him well he had a chance to

shoot Stony the other night and he

didn't do it he knows we're his friends

that's why I'm sure he'll come with us

well it might be worth taking a

chance Marshall Drake speaking a hello

Sheriff well stand by but don't take any

more chances I'm sending out the cavalry

boys Parkers killed two more men

Operator Operator get me Fort

Maguire once the Cavalry gets there will

won't have a chance unless we get there

well it looks like he out smartest again

and he's probably headed back into the

[Music]

hills I don't blame you for giving up

that man hunt

those nervous deputies are more

dangerous than that goofy Wild Man

pocket so you think he's crazy too well

sure he is crazy as a tech I know all

about him I'm with the Broadcasting

Company that's been sending out the news

if he only knew of all the lies we've

been telling about

him maybe he doesn't care maybe he's

used to Lies by now what do you

mean everything's a lie here in this

Dust Bowl what's a use in trying trying

to be good and work hard when you can't

get work to do what's the use in trying

to get ahead and save money when you

can't earn it sort of radical aren't you

maybe are you going all the way to town

no I want to stop by and see my folks

first you can drop me off at the Parker

Place the Parker Place yeah that's where
