| The Last of the James Gang |
| Two Pinkerton agents (Angus Stoddard and William Walker) come in to the detachment and tell |
| Craddock they have been tracking a member of the James gang for 10 years, they believe he is in |
| Bordertown, and they would like the marshal to deputize them so they can make the arrest. |
| "s'pose so.... consider yerselves deputized." |
| "Consider yourself under arrest." |
| Clive enters the room and Stoddard explains that Jack Craddock is really John McCarty. |
| "This is the warrent for John McCarty, member of the James gang and killer of a Pinkerton |
| agent." |
| "Hold on Jack, let's hear what he has to say." |
| Walker reads the evidence. |
| Stoddard produces a photo of the James gang..it was taken in 1870. |
| One of the ombres looks alot like Jack. |
| "John McCarty, alias John Calhoun, alias John or Jack Craddock, born in Texas in 1841, served |
| in the Civil War. In 1865 he joined Quanrel's Gorilla's where he met up with the James gang, |
| robbed a bank in 1868 and in 1871 he murdered a Pinkerton agent, soon after he escaped to |
| Mexico where he married and is believed to have fathered a child, he is illiterate and often |
| unshaven." |
| (Talk about coincidental evidence)! |
| They argue and Walker hits Jack on the head, he falls onto his desk. |
| Clive tries to defend his compadre, but is told by Stoddard that's it's an American issue. |
| Stoddard tells Walker to " throw that man in the cell, and remove his badge!" |
| Later that night, someone unlocks Jack's cell as he is sleeping. Stoddard comes in to check on |
| his prisoner and finds Jack has escaped. |
| On the street Stoddard is heard yelling, "McCarty! You won't escape me!" |
| A shot is heard and Stoddard falls dead to the street. |
| Clive rushes to the general store loft where the shot came from. He finds Jack holding the |
| murder weapon. |
| "Put it down Jack!......I'm not going to ask you again." |
| "I found it lyin' here." |
| Jack surrenders the gun and Clive takes him back to jail. |
| In the morning Walker returns and tells Clive he will be leaving with the prisoner in half an hour. |
| Walker feels that the people of Bordertown |
| so they will have to hold the trial elsewhere. |
| At that moment, a rock is thrown through the detachment door window. A mob has gathered |
| outside. Walker tells Bennett he will have to assist him in getting the prisoner out of town. |
| are too sympathetic towards McCarty |
| Jack is VERY upset. |
| "That's crazy! My name is Jack Craddock!" |
