Ferguson recipe well good morning prowl are you um food doctor so we've got a case of murder on our hands huh yeah Oh meet doctor Ordway from New York he's been helping us out with the vaccination problem here and he's the one who discovered that beachy didn't died of typhoid this is Mort Crowell our County Prosecutor know your doctor and a Harley run for his investigator oh yeah got any suspects one dr. Sam Miller sue got a motif figured out that'll hold water I think it was revenge beachy quit him for the County clinic several months ago and Millicent's been fighting the clinic ever since it opened what do you think dr. R Duane who I don't believe I'm entitled to an opinion life I've only been in Brook Falls such a short time BG quick doctoring with no mercy how could the ladder of poisoning no listen was called in the treating the day before he died well maybe it was just ignorance rather than criminal intent oh-ho you don't know him like we do he may be ignorant about doctoring but he's cunning and vindictive Harley it looks like your first job is to call it the BT home and get the medicines dr. Miller s'en prescribed for the deceased yes sir Callahan you get the suspect and bring him here for questioning yes some other Hank you're all out of breath prosecutor will not be berry war how come they won't let you they're performing a post-mortem on to find out what he died you mean to say they sure after telling us at wartime for Peter I don't know except me I can't bury ward peachy till they say thank you Oh Farley wrong I can't they let the dead rest in peace just docs and Miller's in here I'm here I have orders to bring you over to the school for questioning questioning about what you'll find out when you get over there I'll be damned if I will nobody's gonna make a fool out of me twice your moves fer I'm asking you to come peaceably but if you won't I'll take you you literally now you keep out of the square reckon I know when you're exceeding your authority you need a touching doc Sam listen you're arresting him for something an F Pierre he's got a right no what fer all right Ward B tchy died of poison and the county prosecutor thinks he was murdered all fall they're all who'd want to kill a likable fella like warg how'd you know he was Tyson chemical tests don't lie I hope the prosecutor don't think i poisoned him well you doctored him didn't you looks like them County clinic doctors are up to get me yeah Oh square and will you tell the sheriff to drive to the county seat and bring linked hazing back here to defend me my shore oil Sam I reckon I'm ready now to go with you all right now why should I want to kill a lifelong friend and hurt his family you were very angry worried you and vici went to the county clinic for treatment yes I was and I told him so to his face but being a Christian man when Matilda come a crime that word needed help I did the best I could to take care of it you treated him and he died I've been abducting a lot of other folks too but none of them ever died a poison but the others didn't go to the county clinic in fairness to Melissa I feel it my duty to advise inlet he hasn't been charged with any crime so he may refuse to answer any and all questions why should you advise him you're not his counsel I'm afraid you were letting prejudice bias your good judgment we're not trying the man he's we're always seeking information hardway is right in your opinion when you examine Ward beat you the other day what was ailing him summer complained I still think it was so you gave him what some of my complaint bidders dr. Miller s'en do you mind telling us what ingredients you use to compound your complaint bitters not at all to boil some sassafras bark and some bloodroot and some burdock leaves and some gold and sealed and then I had a little pulverized bone and a little oil of wintergreen to give it a good taste did he you mention anything there that sounded like a poison to you listen well I'm not an herbalist but I'll concede the formulas perfectly harmless however that is no proof that he didn't poison bici I didn't so help me I didn't that's all no listen you may go now aren't you going to arrest him not without some justification you're making a big mistake I'm not telling you how to run the county Clinic am I thank you I'm sorry I popped off liquor she it's all right won't forget it I had it coming ah guess there isn't much we can do now to run Fergus back so we might as well enjoy a short recess right certainly a beautiful day I should be out doing a little fishing no doctor don't run out on us now we're only halfway through right here's the bottle of bitters of peach she was taken before he died according to mrs. Beach he took about ten spoons for sure what awful stuff said this the state clinical laboratory for analysis yes now I'd like to offer a suggestion if is in order go ahead so obvious he's probably slept your mind but why not let rompford find out if Nixon sold any corrosive poison lately if so to whom we of course who else could've been the source of the poison why didn't you think of a Romford why didn't you according the druggist he sold one part of that poison to doc medicine and five pastor as a miniature the nurserymen what of medicine tell you he did with a pound he bought he claims they use it to make up an ointment for boils and carbuncles ah old pound does that make up enough women for all the boils in Carrboro the United States he only used about three ounces what a medicine do with the rest of it he still hasn't well I presume the nurseryman uses the poison in some sort of a fly spray yes and a rock poison which he manufactures well and and makes every person who was bought his plant spray and rat poison a possible suspect look good way you seem to be trying awfully hard to remove suspicion from Miller's was that somebody shot at me yeah I'm I'm afraid they did good thing for you doc with that little have been a couple inches lower and taking most of your head off there's a bullet hole in the window over there it should have lodged back here somewhere oh yes why would anybody want to shoot at me well that's what we've got to find out whoever it was didn't hang around after you find the shot but he left his calling card oh that's a 30-30 shell the same as I use in my rifle doctor Hardaway did you bring a 30-30 rifle with you yes yes and he lives at dr. Miller syns don't you think we ought to have a look at it oh boy yes by all means I'm just as curious as you are come on hello if you came see the doctor he ain't home Martha McVitie sprained her knee he's over tended to it no we didn't come to see him mrs.

McVitie he arrived at her place about 75 and left about half past it's now 825 you mean to tell me it took you 15 minutes to get from McVitie's here certainly not any fool would know better than that what were you doing in the meantime appears to me that what I do with my own times my own business you will give me a civil answer I'll put you under arrest in just a minute mr. prosecutor now it's alright with me if you want to arrest it but if you do I'm gonna have to ask the squire here to hold an immediate hearing so I can have him released on bail that is unless you are figuring on charging him with some ridiculous offense like murder which you can't prove yes say the word link and I'll give you a hearing right here now well I I'm not ready yet to file a murder charge against anybody no I didn't think you was go ahead would you check a plain Sam well I think I'll call it a night and get some sleep they're not boys I was just turning back the coverage to be billion bikes I'm pretty tired tonight am i nice of you to stand up for parking them County doctors we both admire you for it well nobody should be accused of murder unless it can be proven no Paul wouldn't do such a thing he's too tender-hearted to kill a fly mrs.

Sam Miller sin' you don't like my listen do you know look what he done to my boy PG playing horsey what did he do he brought him into the world a dunce can't you see get up horsey well much obliged wished a minute glad to help you be a horsey you think he actually saw Miller soon as he claims oh I don't know it's hard to believe a man when he's nursing such a deep grudge against another it's too bad though that he should blame Miller soon for what was probably a biological failure on the part of nature yeah if it were a biological failure well who's next on the list Judd rooks Toole I'm gonna try a little experiment on him tonight I'm gonna ask you some questions Judd you're gonna answer them truthfully yes ma'am why did you first suspect that your wife Edie and what beachy were on such friendly terms last year at the summer festival when I watched him dancing together what did you do about it you pretended I was going fishing and then I sneaked back to see what went on did you see anything that looks suspicious I sure did I seen him a woman leaving the picnic grounds I was hiding behind the bandstand and I watched her slip through the woods toward the creek I was right on her heels as she sashay toward the swimmin hole I'm glad to see you eating honey are you just a feeding me traffic why ain't cross my heart I'd rather see you than anybody in the whole world Oh would you say such pretty words I gotta say pretty words to the berteus woman in the county I'm stuck on you honey go on home where you belong Edie I'll tend to you when I get there yes Chuck I reckon I did you wrong Jud I like to get up and fight me you're lowdown skunk I can't fight you and I'm to blame all right I'll let you go for now but I'm warning you you keep away from me or I'll kill ya and I weren't fooling when I told him that and did he keep away from her you sure did did you give water drink a moonshine with some poison in it no man so help me no I know you didn't Jedi Huck was only fooling come on wake up wake up John you can't sleep here all night what happened to fall asleep you slept so sorry you didn't even hear these men come in all of you son of a gun say what was it you told me you wanted me to do i plumb forgot you're going to travel tomorrow to do some shopping for me and I was right sure now I remembered well I'd better be catching some more sleep if I'm gonna get an early start yeah that's right dad I'll see you tomorrow now you know why they call him the crime doctor oh I'm afraid you gentlemen are overestimating my accomplishments I regret to say my experiment was a failure what do you mean a failure did you notice the emotional expression on Judds face while he was asking my questions sure sure first speaking while in a state of hypnosis merely articulates words from the subconscious mind therefore having no consciousness there can be no expression of emotion you mean judge wasn't hypnotized that's right you can't hypnotize a person against his will and judge was too strong-willed I sensed that the minute I started he told us that cock-and-bull story just to take suspicion off himself or probably to sheetal somebody else maybe his wife he did well the deeper we get into this affair the more muddled to become so it looks that way when you stir up dirty water you've gotta wait for it to settle well gentlemen shall we adjourn here's mine as well here in a minute howdy mr.
