He ain't gonna make it How do you think that jail caught fire? I don't think I know Somebody set it off that fire should prove kenyon's innocence. Somebody tried to kill him I won't argue that with you but Come in judge Judge this is hop along cassidy Hello, I've heard of you cassidy Well, there's people saying that you're gonna take kenyon out of abalone because uh, you're worried about his health He's my prisoner and it's my duty to protect his welfare I'm taking him over to clairboard tomorrow. Not until after the inquest you won't. Well, that's up to you Pete since you're both corner and judge then he stays in town We decide how that girl metadiff and if anybody's real worried about kenyon's health They better go out and find him a good lawyer Because he's gonna need it Out pretty late, aren't you california? Well with that fire and all it was a big night Might be bigger ones in the next day or so though. Why do you say that? There's a lot of talk going around talk against blue talford There's them who thinks he'd hand in the killing of that gal There's talk about forming vigilantes and running talford out of town What the gang talford has behind him that would be quite a job I heard something else this evening too ran into that little clerk who works at the longhorn hotel Yeah, he's been drinking quite a bit uh had a lot in his mind told me some of it about johnny kenyon Yeah This little fella's name's meek Judd meek and he says he knows about somebody who wound up to johnny's room just before he carried an enuous kill Yeah Meek says the party didn't know he saw him Of course, he was in a closet stacking blankets at the time. He saw him come out too. Maybe 10 minutes later That was just before we got there. Then we've got it This should clear johnny kenyon Maybe if meek could name this party, uh, but I couldn't get no more out of him. He's scared. Yes, sir It's on his conscience, but he's scared clear through to the matter What did you talk to him over the golden nugget saloon? He might still be there.  Yeah, he's all alone at a table.

Well, you know who killed carodine You know who was up to johnny kenyon's room just before she got nice Wait a minute What are you trying to do get me in trouble? Who was it you saw go up there meek? They go away. I'm going home I got a wife. What are you gonna do meek? Keeping your conscience. You helped me save johnny kenyon's life tonight I saw you working down there at the fire. What are you gonna do now? Let him hang anyway When you know, he's innocent when you know who really committed that murder And going home. We're leaving. You've got to tell us meek We'll be on your conscience if you don't you've got to tell us Yeah, I guess I do have to tell you but I have to do it my own way You don't need to wait. No, no, no, no wait. I'll tell you about it I'm scared. I've got a wife and kid. I gotta think about them. So I'll tell about it my own way All right meek. What is your own way tomorrow morning? We're pulling out of abalone Me and the family there's an old trail shack out west of town. Maybe 10 miles. Yeah If you want to meet me there tomorrow, I'll tell you everything I saw And then I won't care and I figure we can get away and you'll be off my mind I can't make it in the morning meek. They're holding the in quest then. All right, uh, I'll wait for you I'll wait for you until sundown In quest not a carnival I will get back to the business at hand I have here a list of effects belonging to the disease. Do we have the items here marshal? No your honor Everything except the money was burned up when the jail caught fire. I wrote the list for memory Well, I was certainly won't question your memory and seems you had a handkerchief lock it and uh I anymore disturbance like this. I'm gonna clear the room. What's going on here? Anyway, what's this all about?  Oh, you're out of water Vigilantes, what do you mean? And just what do you expect to do that can't be done in court on the new process of the law? Well as far as we know blue tell but there's nothing to do with this case I say something everybody else has maggie if you're all willing to wait until this evening sometime I think I'm going to be able to tell you who killed karie danine and provide proof Information that I can't give out to everybody, but I'm willing to tell you all about it I'll tell you up here in front of the judge and the marshal and then you can decide for yourself Well come up here to the bench then maggie. All right. If there's going to be a private conversation everybody else back I make way for maggie Maggie you certainly give me a lot of trouble here today. I ought to cite you for contempt You do judge and you'll never eat another piece of my pie as long as you live All right now. What's this information that little clerk at the hotel He saw a person go up to johnny kenyon's room just before the killing He saw the person leave right after he wouldn't tell me who it was. He was afraid But he's leaving abalone and he's going to tell me the name of that person this afternoon when I meet him at the trail shack up west of town All right, maggie. Does that satisfy you? Yeah, I'm satisfied It's okay everybody. We'll wait next later And now Now if you don't mind we'll continue this hearing If I remember correctly, I was reading marshal melott's list of the dead girl's effects Ankerchief locket silk sachet and 13 silver dollars Well, it appears that the ankerchief the locket and the sachet were destroyed in the jail fire about Hey, hey, hold on there. Cassidy. Where do you think you're going? Sorry your honor, but I have to leave I just found out that I put Judd meek and his family in danger their lives A few more hours now and we can be on our way They won't have nothing to worry about and then we're heading out to california What do you say to that jessie? jessie I'm talking to you You always were a talker. Weren't you make it? Mace melott. Yeah Talk so much. You don't even think to look if anybody's listening You'd have been looking now for an instant. You'd have seen that your wife and kid are walking out by the crowd My wife and kids didn't expect to see me. Did you know somebody else? Weren't you hop along cassidy We're gonna tell them all about seeing me at the hotel last night shotgun.  Didn't you meet my wife? No, no, no, you couldn't do anything to her melott. I'll friend.  Let me stay alive.     Maybe we'll have a surprise party for mr. Cassidy Make you and I make answer. Tell them you're here. Uh, I'm here mr.  I'll be all right If I had half your luck, I'd own the state of texas. Uh, you made your own luck melott all the way Another 15 minutes. That was all I needed. You're wrong I knew you were the killer without me telling me.  You know everything And just how did you know you told me you and that report you wrote of what carried anine had in her purse You wrote that list from memory, didn't you melott? You'd have been better off. You hadn't listen I've got the best memory in the southwest Why would I have been better off because once you wrote showed you'd been in the room before I got there And that would have proved you gilly. What are you talking about? I'm talking about the silk sachet You had on the list she had a sachet I know she did but you couldn't have known it Not unless you were there earlier than I was because I picked up that sachet before you and california came in I picked it up and kept it without saying a word to anybody Now let's get back to town I'm anxious to tell johnny kenyon. He's a free man It's a funny thing but justice always seems to triumph over crime Even when the only clue as hoppy found in this story was merely a bag of powdered scent and a memory that was a trifle too keen In our next adventure hoppy and california come face-to-face with death But this time not at the point of a gun It's a tale of greed and mystery and the fall guy takes the form of a spider woman Apollon Cassidy starring william poids is transcribed and produced in the west by walter white jr The memory of mace malach was written by buckley angel with original music under the personal direction of albert glasser All stories are based upon the characters created by clarence e mulford.
