From the files 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 records. Case for tonight dead giveaway. It's 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.

Operator, get me the sheriff quickly. Is that you Mr. Neen? Yes, yes. You can get me the sheriff. Mrs. Neen, you've got to come out to my house right away. The dean wants to see him to be wrong.

Somebody's prowling around outside trying to get this. Is there a house in there? No, he went to Adley non-business. Something woke me up and I thought at first it was a bait. And then I heard a noise outside.

I took Sheriff Ross less than 15 minutes to get to the dean farm. But Mrs. Deneen 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, it was over the next county when your call came through. I hope you got a little sleep because you won't get much now.
