Alibi

Pales of the Texas Rangers starring Joel McCray as Ranger Jason Pearson. Another authentic reenactment of a case transcribed from the files of the Texas Rangers. Dates and places in the following story are fictitious for obvious reasons.

The events themselves are a matter of record. There's nothing so comfortable as a nice plump cushion. And I don't mean the sofa pillow variety. I mean a financial cushion to fall back on when times get tight, when sickness lingers or when unemployment strikes.

The best way to build this necessary cushion is to chop a little money off each paycheck. Not necessarily a great sum, but a steady little sum which you can put into United States defense bonds.

These bonds now earn greater interest, give you a quicker return, and may be held at interest for as long as ten years beyond maturity. You're putting a financial cushion behind Uncle Sam's back when you buy your own with bonds, because every dollar you put in United States bonds is an investment in your country

strength and security. That's the same as setting up a safer world for your children. Start building your cushion now by signing up for the payroll savings plan where you work or use the bottom-month plan where you bank for United States defense bonds. They're now even better. Now back to tales of the Texas Rangers.

And now from the files of the Texas Rangers, the case called Alibi. It is approximately 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning July 17th 1948. A large truck carrying sheep is traveling at a moderate speed along highway 28 leading into Bankrauf, Texas.

The driver of the truck squints his eyes against the glare of the morning sun while his sleeping companion stares uneasily in the blazing heat. And you're turned full, get by me, travel that speed in this easy blow time for sure.
