The Man from Colorado Page #6

---

She's in trouble with the judge.

She grabbed me

just as I was leaving.

Told me she wants to see you.

She has to see you,

that's what she said.

"Find Del Stewart," she said to me.

"Tell him if he still cares

at all about me...

...he'd better come

and see me tonight."

You don't have to believe it.

I've got nothing to lose if you don't.

Still dog-robbing for the colonel,

the same as always.

He'd sell his mother for two bits,

and give you change.

The idea is to draw you

out in the open, no matter how.

I don't know which is the lowest...

...the judge or this!

I'll have to go over there.

- You're a fool if you do.

- All right, I'm a fool.

Maybe your friends ought

to stop you for your own good.

A few of us will go along,

just in case.

One man's enough.

Let's go.

Remember, I'll be right behind you...

...all the way.

Come on, come on.

Hurry up.

Hold it!

Get him locked up.

Get out of town before morning

and don't come back.

All right, just a moment.

Why, Caroline, come in.

What is it, Caroline?

Anything wrong?

Owen just arrested Del.

Doc, he's going to hang him,

murder Del with the law.

- Caroline, I can't believe it.

- You'll believe Owen, won't you?

Caroline?

Caroline!

Caroline!

You're the man I want to talk to,

seeing you're the marshal now.

I'm the marshal, all right,

but I got no business for you, Doc.

There's nobody sick around here.

Not yet anyhow.

- I want to see Del Stewart.

- He's not seeing visitors.

- Not tonight.

- I'm here on official business.

The law requires

a medical examination...

...for a man

before he can be hanged.

That's the first I heard about it.

You're kind of new at this job.

If you want to go

and wake my nephew, the judge...

...and ask him, it's your privilege,

of course.

Well...

...all right.

Come on.

- Hi, Doc.

- Hi, Del.

- Well, let me in.

- You can see him from out here.

How can I examine a man

through this?

- Get it over with.

- Don't rush me.

Would you hand me

my stethoscope, please, Del?

Lock him up.

Line up!

Backs to me.

Keep them up.

Get their guns.

Keep them up.

All right, in there.

Move!

- You're a fool to get mixed up in this.

- We'll talk about that later.

Caroline. You had no right

to bring her here.

- She brought me.

- I couldn't let Owen...

Don't make me talk about it.

Doc will drive you to Denver.

See the governor.

Tell him Owen is sick.

Too sick to go on being judge.

Now you'll have to hurry.

There.

If I were you I'd lie still, Del.

He'll sleep awhile. He'll be

in fair shape when he wakes.

- Doc, what are we going to do?

- You stop worrying.

With what I've got to show the

governor, he'll straighten things out.

All right, Jericho,

I'm ready to get going.

You ain't going to Denver, Doc.

Nobody is.

They've got the bridge blocked.

Judge, we found

Mrs. Devereaux's buggy.

- No sign of them?

- Can't get nobody to talk.

But they're around here sure.

Former marshal Del Stewart

escaped from jail last night.

We know he's hiding here.

Some of you know where he is.

The sooner you turn him over to us,

the better it'll be for you.

Come on, speak up.

Where is he?

This is a warning.

Unless Del Stewart is given up

before 7:
00 tonight...

...all of you will have to accept

full responsibility.

You have until 7:00.

What time is it, Doc?

It's almost 6.

Come on, let's dig up some food.

Judge, shouldn't you get

something to eat?

And get a little rest? There's still

plenty of time before 7:00.

Del, if I go back to Owen...

...even now,

maybe he'd listen to me.

- You're not going back to him.

- I'm still his wife.

You're never going back to him.

Del!

Owen.

Owen!

Are you satisfied now?

Have you done enough damage?

Burn half the town.

I own property there.

Owned it, and so did

a lot of other people.

It doesn't matter to you!

Why didn't you stop him?

- Tell me anyhow.

- You told us...

...to take orders from the judge.

I tried to argue.

Didn't ask anybody what they think.

Started the worst fire this town

ever had. Started it deliberately.

You wanted a gang of outlaws

rounded up, well, there they are.

I suggest you leave law enforcement

to officers of the law.

Law? You're not enforcing law.

You're out to get the man

who stole your wife.

- My wife was kidnapped.

- Call it that if you want to.

Your wife ran off

with your best friend.

And you're out of your head about it.

Crazy to get even. Crazy!

Caroline!

Caroline!

Drop your gun, Owen.

There's been enough killing.

If you won't finish him, I will!

Owen!

- Bye, marshal.

- Have a good trip, Del.

- Thanks.

- You get us some action.

We'll stay in Washington

until we do, York.

Tell them all we want is our rights,

marshal. We'll take it from there.

- Goodbye, Doc.

- Goodbye, boy.

- Good luck, Del.

- Thanks, Caroline.

All aboard!

I'll be back soon.

- Goodbye!

- Goodbye!
