Listen at the close of this program for an important announcement of a change in time for tales of the Texas Rangers. The national broadcasting company presents Joe McCray in tales of the Texas Rangers.
Tonight transcribe from Hollywood another authentic reenactment of a case from the files of the Texas Rangers. Tales of the Texas Rangers starring Joe McCray as Ranger Jace Pearson. Texas more than 260,000 square miles. At 50 men who make up the most famous and oldest law enforcement party in North America. Now from the files of the Texas Rangers come these stories based on facts. Only names, dates and places are fixtures for obvious reasons. The events themselves are a matter of record.
Case for tonight, blood relative. It is 4 p.m. June 26, 1949. Will Bonner, propriate of the General Store at Stump Hill, Texas is waiting on Mack Kennedy, a dirt farmer. It finds flying to beckon, man. And in his? Yeah, tartan cigarettes. Yeah. How about making it a couple of sex at the back, huh? What's the matter, Will? My credit's no good anymore. Mack, I think you ought to put in your homes, little. Your bills aren't kind of high. You get your money, don't you? Ain't a question of getting it, man. You stand to make a good crop this year. Unless you have to pay out, better chance you'll have to get on your feet permanent without no credit. Let me worry about. I'll go ahead, wait on him. That's all right, I got time. No, no, I'll take care of you, son. Well, you have. Stranger.
Time ain't helping your sight, any, isn't Uncle Will? Huh? Ben! Ben! Dang it, boy, you changed. How do you like it? Didn't recognize my own blood relative? Hell, liars, liars! Come see who's here. Well, I'll really answer you. What is it, Will? I don't see nothing. Well, hello, will you know if you want to buy some perfume? Perfume? What am I? No, Will, you could have told him that. What would I do with... What? It's your brother's boy, Ben. It sure is. Stop packing, Will. You... You know about your father. I know it's dead. Oh, being glad to see you, Ben, I almost forgot. It happened last winter. The pneumonia. Yeah, we're trying to locate you, boy, but nobody knew where you was. Nobody would have wanted to know. I was in a pen at Huntsville. Huh? That's why I've been for four years. In the prison? Your father never said that. Well, nobody's business, but mine.
Well, Ben, I... I guess we can talk that over later. If you want to stay, there's a police here. I'm asking you for nothing. Set what's coming to me. I just want you to buy out my pa, share the staunt, pay me off. Oh, Ben, your pa never did have a share in the store. You only work for me. What you trying to get away with Uncle Will? He told me he was going in, where he want to move out of here. But then you knew your pa. He always talked big, but he never did have a dime of his own. You telling me about my own pa? No, no, we ain't running him down, boy. He never harmed nobody, but talking big was just his weight. Look, I come to get what's mine. Do I get it up, don't I? Ben, there's a bed in the job waiting for you if you want him. You're kinfook, and that makes you welcome. But outside of that, there ain't nothing here that's yours. You're called pa! What are you doing? You're just holding on, young. Let me go! Pa, turn him loose. Turn him loose. Rick and I can still take care of myself.
Maybe you can, maybe you can, Uncle Will. I'm staying around town to give you a chance to change your mind. I'm warning you. I'm gonna get what's mine if I have to kill you, boy. On the following morning, June 27th, neighbors found Will Baller shot to death. And his wife Liz critically wounded and unconscious in the back room living quarters of their store. The sheriff called to the assistance of a Texas ranger. Ranger, a Jace person, was assigned to the case. Well, that's all of the story, just like I found it, Jace. He looked pretty downhearted, Sheriff. Bonner, a friend of yours. I know him all my life. He helped me get elected. And bodies in the back room, you want to see it? Yeah. You can stay here if you'd rather. No, no, I'll come. Guess you noticed the way the safe was cracked in the door where the killer got in.
Yeah, professional job, all right. I covered Will over with the sheet. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I... It's all right. Bonner hasn't been here yet, huh? No, he's on his way. Dead about six, seven hours. How do you figure that, Jace? Rigger Mortis just beginning to set in. You see a lot of him, you get to know. Nine o'clock now, that means it happened about two or three this morning, huh? That's close to it. How about Bonner's wife, she gonna pull through? Doc Woodson took her to the county hospital. Said there's a little chance. You've got a deputy posted to the hospital in case she'd come soon. Yep, he can take any statement she can do. Here! Here, I gotta talk to you a minute. Well, all right, Jody, come in. Farmhand worked for Mac Kennedy on and off. Howdy, Ranger. Sheriff. What's on your mind, Jody? Well, I, uh, I just come pick up some feet and Mac's pick up. Who'd about what happened? You know anything about it? Not exactly.
But I was in town with Mac yesterday afternoon. He come to trust some suppliers from Bonner. What time? Oh, about four o'clock. I wasn't in a store with him, but when he come out and we was driving back, Mac said Bonner had a fuss with somebody. Phil has written to kill him. You say who the fellow was? No. But whoever it was, he took a swing at Bonner. Mac had to grab him to stop a fight. Where's Kennedy now? Well, he was out plowing on the left. I won't be able to get him by phone then. Come on, Sheriff. Let's get out there and talk to him. Dead. Will Bonner dead? Yeah, and Liz is mighty close to joining him, Mac. Better cut the motor on your tractor. Yeah. Sheriff, we all should have told you about that, fella. I should have called and told you myself after what he threatened to do to him. Too late for what anybody should have done. You know the man? Never saw him before. But I know who he is. Bonner's nephew.
Fresh out of Huntsville. I heard him say so. An ex-con, and you didn't say anything about it? Well, Sheriff, how could I know he'd do it? A blood relative. Wasn't my affair, was it? You know the man if you saw him again? I had no one in any place. Better come into town with us. Talk while we ride. Okay. Bonner mentioned his nephew's name. Well, he called him Ben. He will Bonner had a brother died last year. Must've been his boy. We'll find out. On the way into Stump Hill, Mac Kennedy told us the story of the threat and gave me a description of Ben Bonner. I put a shortwave radio call through to KTXA. Unit 10 to KTXA. KTXA, go ahead, Unit 10. Request all units be alerted to look out for subject Ben Bonner, recently released from Huntsville. Subject wanted for questioning in murder of Will Bonner at Stump Hill. Tantor. Request special alert on all roads leading from Stump Hill. Subject may be leaving Arianne footer by hitchhike.
Tantor. Unit 10, clear. KTXA. Maybe Young Bonner didn't run for it. Jays, he may be hiding out someplace nearby. Not likely, Sheriff. If he killed his uncle, he'll go for distance. He killed him all right. You can bet on that. When a man's life's at stake, Kennedy, I don't bet. Ben Bonner wasn't around Stump Hill. He pulled stakes and made a run for it all right. We got the information from a woman. I met crowd near the store when we got back to town. Her name was Sadie Wattles. She ran a rooming house. I ran all my rooms extra far, men's generally, because I don't have to serve no meals that way, with them eating, where they're working. So naturally, I thought this fella was one of their migratory hands. Yeah, yeah, I understand all that, ma'am. All I want to know is when Ben Bonner left your place. Well, it must have been just around midnight last night. Everybody was in and sleeping in the house, was locked up. Well, the phone woke me up, and it was for him, that Ben.
Phone, huh? You know who called him? It's not. I didn't know who he was, or nothing about him, setting his name was Ben. Did you recognize the voice of the person who called? No. Well, please go ahead about the phone call. Well, I called him to the phone, that's all. Fine time and night to be waking people, I told him. Then he answered it. Right after that, he looked out like the devil was after him. You hear any of the conversations? I did not, I'm on my own business. Besides, all he said was hello. After that, all the talking must have been done by whoever called him, because he never said another word. Just listen to the minute, then hold up and let out. The phone ringing in the store, Jason, I better get it. Go ahead, Sheriff. Well, thanks for your help, Mrs. Waddle. I'm glad I'm alive, to give it. I might have been murdered in my own sleep with an ex-convict under my roof. Or to be some way, we could tell him from other folks. A man who served his time can't be expected to carry a brand man, besides. How did you know Ben Bonner's an ex-convict? So did I, no! It's all over Tom, ain't it? Jason, call his for you. Right there, Sheriff.
Thanks, ma'am. Excuse me. Who's calling? Go ahead, quarters. Captain Stinson. Hello, Captain. Got some good news for you, Jason. The highway patrol has picked up Ben Bonner. Fine, where'd they get him? On the trail passor. The patrol guy was stopped in a railroad crossing waiting for a freight to get through. They spotted him right in an empty flat. Great, huh? That's a good thing they saw him. If he'd made El Paso, he'd been across the border into Juarez in no time. Really? He didn't make it. They're bringing him back to stop here now. You'll have him there if he was. You get in the case against him? I seem to be getting plenty. You don't sound too sure, Jason. I don't know. You look up his record? What was on his last ticket to Huntsville? Publicly, Jason. And that fits, except for the killing this time. Yeah. It fits all right. Like the executioner's glove. The
Stump Hill was five miles cross-country from the nearest railroads. We had time before the highway patrol would be delivering Ben Bonner. We sent Kennedy back to his farm. I unloaded charcoal from my horse trailer and the sheriff got his horse. We rode to the railroad tracks. Here he was smart, Jason. Almost got away. Lots of more and more getaway. get away. Sure made a lot of distance and I don't know why you wanted to be sure he came this way to get to the train. I just wanted to be certain he cut through this five miles on foot. Proves he didn't hitchhike a fast ride and pick up a train further on down the line. Well luck was with him for a while. He cut the only train he could have caught. You mean only one freight goes through here at night? Yep. Hot shot passing your clears first at about 1 a.m. Freight comes through about 15 minutes later. Slows for the grade here where he jumped it about one 15th the schedule for the freight then huh? That's right. Let's get back to town. Come on Chuck. You look like that train schedule means something
gays. It might. Harners report ought to be in by the time we get back to town. Hey I see what you mean. If Bonner was killed between two and three a.m. like you figured. It'll mean his nephew Ben was on that freight at the time the old man was killed. Harners report had been completed. It was waiting at the sheriff's office when we got back. Well he didn't miss but much. Here's the report on the time of day. What isn't between one and two a.m. Then Ben Bonner didn't kill his uncle even if he ran the five miles across country. His track showed us he walked. He couldn't have made it in time to catch that freight. Doesn't look that way. Bullets from Bonner's body have been sent through to Austin. We may get a lead from ballistics. I'm going to do some more checking around town on that. Just second Jason. Share speaking. Oh good good.
She did huh? No you say right there goodbye. Well Jason looks like there's been a mistake someplace. That was my deputy at the county hospital. Liz Bonner regained consciousness for a few seconds. What she said. She said her and her husband were shot by their nephew Ben. You are listening to tales of the Texas Rangers starring Joel McRae as Ranger J. Sperson. We continue with tonight's case blood relative an authentic story from the files of the Texas Rangers the highway patrol brought Ben Bonner back to Stump Hill and unloaded him at the local jail with a sheriff and I questioned him but I
didn't kill him I tell you. Didn't he know he was dead to now. You said you was going to kill him you said it in front of the witness. Man is a difference between saying and doing. You had nothing to do with it. Why'd you run away. Got somebody call me up last night at the Roman house later. Was a man said he was a friend and wanted to warn me the sheriff was going to pick me up a threatening Uncle Will. You're scared easy don't you. But your life I do Mr. I just pulled four years at Huntsville and I had enough. I don't want them all. Maybe I was tough when I went to Uncle Will yesterday but last night when I got that call I was scared sick and you don't know who called you. No no I don't. You sure it wasn't somebody who served time with letting you know he was here to help you with the job. No look you got to believe me. This is a murder rat. You can't send me up for it just because I shot off my mouth at any evidence. Ben there's more than that. Your aunt Liz didn't die she came to with the hospital. She says it was you who gunned her in her husband. That's a dirty lie. Look if I did that if I shot them and robbed the store what was I doing on a freight what did I do with the money. I ain't going to say anymore I'm going to
talk and I see a lawyer. That's your right we told you then the beginning. All right Sheriff. Yes you can lock him up again. Go ahead. Franger please I didn't do it. Maybe the fellow who told you I threatened Uncle Will didn't tell you everything. Maybe you'll ask him why there was arguing when I come into the store. All right Ben all right. Well what do you think Chase? I don't know let's get outside. If he did have an accomplice the other fellow might be cartin' the loot and the gun. Might be I'll see you later Sheriff I'm driving over to the hospital at the county seat. I want to talk to his aunt Liz Bonner. Mrs. Bonner the doctor will only let me stay a minute. Well shot will you just getting up. Who shot him Mrs. Bonner. Ben Ben I'm grateful. Wondered to help him. How did it happen? It was a noise in the store. Walk us up. Well Carl said who's there? Then
he got up went put on the lights but Ben shot him. Did he get the lights on? Did you ever see your nephew? No but it was him he said he'd do it it was him. If you didn't see him did he say anything did you hear his voice and recognize him? No he just shot will. That screams and that's all. But you didn't see Ben or recognize his voice? No but he said he would it couldn't be anybody else. I think you're wrong man I think it could be.

I burned up the road back to Stump Hill and got the share. I wanted to make another check of the store and find out a few things about Mac Kennedy. Dog on it. Yes, you're sending your dog at the wrong tree. Mac Kennedy's been Will's friend for years. I just asked if Kennedy'd ever been in trouble. Never. He's an honest God very endured farmer and that's all. What kind of shape is he in financially? Well, God, Jason man don't have to be a criminal just because he's down on his luck. Max crops have been bad. Sure, if I'm just asking a few questions, that's all. Well, I'm sorry, Jason. I reckon Max in hawk up to his neck. Placing all his equipment is mortgage. How come he can afford a hired hand?
You mean Jody? Oh, he just drifts in and outing much of a worker, but he's all Mac needs. My grades in in the spring for plant and season then out again in the fall after hardest. Doesn't work for nothing, does he? Mac pays him right off when he makes his crop themselves. That the way he pays everybody? Yeah, it's only time he ever has me cash. Why? Just wondering. Did Mac buy here on credit from a bonner? Well, I guess so. Why? You find something in the ledger? Come take a look. It seems to be a page torn out. The book is kept in alphabetical order. Missing pages in the case. If there was a charge page in here for Kennedy, it'd be right here. Now you've got something I can't fight, Jason. What a setup. An XCOM threatens to kill a man. Makes it perfect for somebody else to do the job and set the jailbird up for a frame. Come on, Sheriff. Let's get out to Kennedy's place again. Only this trip we won't be asking questions about bin bonner.
There's one thing still bothering me, Jason. That Kennedy's never been in trouble. So how come we both spotted the marks of a professional knob knocker on the burger? It's been bothering me, too. The more I think of it, the more I wonder why, tore that charge page out of the ledger. Why do something that would point right at him when he had somebody else all set up to take the fall? Just beating the bill wouldn't make the chance worthwhile. Not with murder, it wouldn't. KTX ID on the 10th. Oh, this may be the ballistic report, Jason. Unit 10, go ahead, KTXA. Lab report completed on policy orders and slaying of will, bonner, 38 caliber, probably Smith and West Police Special. 10-4. Unit 10, clear. A minute KTXA. Stand by, please. KTXA, standing by. It's a matter, Jason. Just got an idea, something that didn't fit before. That hand who works for Kennedy, that Jody. What's his last name? Jody? I see you.
He ate it. Pellum. Jody Pellum. Why? I'll tell you in a minute. You there, KTXA. Standing by, Unit 10. This unit requests quick check on subject Jody Pellum. Repeat. Jody Pellum. Urgent. 10-4. Get back to you with information soon as possible. Unit 10, clear. Jason, you figured Jody helped Matt Kennedy to pull this job? Maybe. Or maybe Jody did it on his own. I want to know if he's got a record. What Swiss, you're thinking to him? He was waiting outside bonner's store for Kennedy when Ben walked in yesterday and made his threats. Well, sure, he admitted that. Kennedy told him about Ben when he come out and he drove on back to the farm. Yeah, but when Jody came into town the next morning and came to tell us about the threats, he pretended he didn't know too much. Just knew that old will bonner'd been threatened, couldn't say who made the threats. Well, I don't get what you're driving at, Jody. If Kennedy told him, he must have told him the whole story about the threats coming from bonners and nephew. A nephew just got not a prison. That'd be the logical way to tell it.
And that's the way Kennedy did tell it. But Jody was anxious not to seem to know too much. Hey, sure, I see what you mean. Kennedy wasn't in town this morning till we went out and brought him here. Yeah, but when we got back, everybody in town knew that the man we were looking for was bonners nephew and that he was an ex-con. Sadie Wattles told us that. Only one it could have come from was Jody. He spread it around while we were out yet in Kennedy. And we get to the farm, draw him out. Don't pounce on him until I get an answer on him from Austin. I hope it's the right answer. It may save Matt Kennedy's life. It was darker when we missed the farmhouse. There was a light on in the house but the pickup truck wasn't inside the open garage. We left my car around in back of the house and come up on the porch. Oh, you can't help me hold your horses.
Oh, sure, a stranger. I thought it was Jody coming back with the pickup where to go. He drove up north to Edgeville this afternoon. Said he wanted to get something. You ought to be back soon. Well, aren't you going to ask us in, Matt? Sure, sure thing. Make yourself at home. And I understand you've got bonners nephew today. Spread a couple of women's tune about it on the party line. Oh, he got him temporarily. What do you mean, temporarily? He didn't kill anybody, Mack. You had an argument with Bonner yesterday. What about it? I reckon that's my business. Yours and Bonner's, but he's dead now. So that makes it my business. Better talk up, Mack. Well, I've been running up a big bill. Will was cutting me down a little. You admit you owed him money. Why wouldn't I admit it? I pay my bills and he answers otherwise as a liar. Nobody is, say, an otherwise, Mack. You keep a gun around here any place? Yeah. What kind? Smith and Washington 38. It's right there on the mantle over the fireplace. I'll get you. Oh, don't wipe off any prints. Stick a pencil in the muzzle and lift it that way. Okay.
Pins will won't go in, Jay. Something jammin' it. Let me see. I have to worry about prints on that. Outside's been wiped clean with an oil rag. Looks like paper jammed in there. Let's see them find out. I'm going to take these shells out and poke the pencil through. There. Why is Mack's charge page from the ledger? What's that? What are you trying to pull? Hey, it easy, Mack. We're not after you. Smell his gun and look at it, Sheriff. It was used and reloaded but never cleaned. Now that gun hasn't been touched in years. Mack, this gun killed Will Bonner and almost killed his wife last night. Jody Pellum did it after you told him about Bonner's nephew. But why would he tear out that page and plant it here? So he could use Mack here to give himself a double cover-up. He made the call to the rooming house and got Ben Bonner to run. But he knew if Ben was caught any place and could set up an alibi, there'd be a second search. That's why he tore out the page and planted it here on Mack. I'm sure glad you know it wasn't me. If it was you, you'd have burned the page.
That dirty little... There he comes now. That's the pickup. Want to help us nail him? All right, like the blow his brains out. There's a better way. Let him feel safe. Here, let me put these cuffs on you quick. Put that gun back in the mantel, Sheryl. But are you sure that you can... He says, Mack. Boy, I didn't know anybody was here. Mack, what's the matter? What are you doing with those things, hon? What's your guess, Jody? What's in that bag you're carrying? What are you just... Fick me up a bottle and pack it stone and edgepill? What'd you use for money? You don't get credit on liquor. Well, Mack, he paid me some wages this morning. What are you dirty little... Oh, I get it. I kind of wondered where he got the money. Now you know, huh? Well, when I got up last night and found he was going... I sort of got the wonder in this morning. You shot up, Mack. All right, Sheriff. I guess we can take him in. You better come along to make a statement, Jody. Sure, sure. Hate to do a thing like this to a friend, but I guess he deserves it.
Do no boner like you did. Yeah. I thought you'd feel that way. Let's go. You might as well have met your fire at the gun, Mack. A diaphenalman test will prove you did. What kind of test is that? Man fires a gun. The nitrate from the powder gets into the pores of his hand. Chemical application shows it up. What do you... He washed his hands since last night at Reckon? Oh, Washington will get it out. It stays for a couple of days. You fired a gun recently, Jody? No, no. Well, they will make the same test on your hand. It'll show you the difference. Well, you don't have to do that. I don't understand that kind of stuff anyway. That's too bad. I thought you might like to see how we work. Get in. Watch him, Sheriff. All right. I also know how to have that information. I requested before, Sheriff. Yeah. This might bore you, Jody. Unit 10 to KTXA. Hi, I'm Unit 10. This unit back in service. I'm waiting for you. Have information you're requested on subject, Jody, tell him.
What, what's that? Two years, Huntsville, Perkery. Three years, Louisiana State Pat Attention. Perkery and Safe Cracking. 10-4. Unit 10. Clear. Any exhaust? Shut this car. Let me get out of here. Watch your car. Don't make use of this gun, Jody. You go rotten. Never mind that, Mack. Here, take these keys and put the cuffs on the right man, Sheriff. We might as well have them there. He'll be wearing them a lot until he reaches the death cell at Huntsville. Jody Pelham was tried and convicted for the wanton murder of Will Bonner. On the morning of December 6, 1949 at Huntsville, Penitentiary, his sentence was carried out. Death in the electric chair. And now here again is the star of our show, Joel McRae.
