The Deputy1959

[Sarge give Clay a copy of Albee's trial records]

Clay McCord:
Well, I know all this. How come you want me to read it through?

Sergeant Hapgood Tasker:
Find anything in there to make you doubt Albee Beckett was the killer?

Clay McCord:
No.

Sergeant Hapgood Tasker:
Good! Then the two days it took me to ride to Hondo, go to the courthouse and bring that back here wasn't wasted.

Clay McCord:
I'm afraid it is, considerin' Rufus Hayden's confession.

Sergeant Hapgood Tasker:
Who said Hayden wasn't lyin'?

Clay McCord:
On his deathbed, Sarge? He'd have to have an awful powerful reason for that.

Sergeant Hapgood Tasker:
Clay, if you started actin' like a lawman instead of a wounded buffalo, why you might find a reason.
