Transcript

The National Broadcasting Company presents Joel McCray in Tales of the Texas Rangers. Tonight transcribed from Hollywood, another authentic reenactment of a case from the files of the Texas Rangers. The Texas Rangers starring Joel McCray is Ranger Jason Pearson.

Texas more than 260,000 square miles and 50 men who make up the most famous and oldest law enforcement the body in North America. Some of the Texas Rangers come these stories based on fact. Only names, dates and places are fictitious for obvious reasons.

The events themselves are a matter of record. Case for tonight? Dead giveaway. It is 1.30 a.m. December 4th, 1945. A single light glows in the living room of a farmhouse, four miles in the town of Ashton and West Texas.

Inside the house of Frantic young woman tries to place a telephone call. Operators, operators, get me the sheriff quickly. Is that human to me? Yes, yes, hurry! It's a murder! No! Stop talking and get me the sheriff!

Mrs. Deneen, you've got to come out to my house right away. It's me wrong! Somebody's prowling around outside. He went to Evelyn on business. Something woke me up and I thought at first it was a bake.

And then I heard a noise outside. Took Sheriff Ross less than 15 minutes to get to the Neem Farm. But Mrs. Denein and her four month old baby were dead when he arrived.

The sheriff called for the assistance of the Texas Rangers. Ranger or Jase Pearson was assigned. Yes, Sheriff. You got here right quick. Yeah, I was over the next county when your call came through. I hope you got a little sleep because you won't get much now.
