SCENARIO, OR CONTINUITY OF SCENES
1--Outside sheriff's office, main street of town--
One or two cowboys and several other citizens standing
around talking earnestly. Sheriff comes out of open door
with hand-lettered placard. He tacks it up beside a notice
of an auction sale of stock, close to door. Draws attention
of bystanders, who crowd around to read.
On screen. Notice--
$5,000 REWARD!
FOR THE CAPTURE OF STEPHEN HAMMOND, BETTER KNOWN AS
"ARAVAIPA STEVE." WE _PREFER_ TO GET HIM ALIVE, AS HE
MAY TELL WHAT HE DONE WITH THE PROSEEDS OF HIS LAST HOLD-UP.
Back to scene.
The bystanders are obviously dissatisfied. They protest to
sheriff, who shakes head emphatically.
_Leader--_
"THE ONLY GOOD I KIN SAY O' HIM IS THAT HE AIN'T NO
MURDERER. WE'LL HAVE NO LYNCHIN' WHILE I'M SHERIFF"
Back to scene.
One of the cowboys gives the sheriff a strong argument, but
he holds his ground and taps his badge significantly. They
are still voicing their several opinions when scene ends.
2--Dr. Turner's office--
Doctor lying on lounge, coat off, smoking. Turns eyes toward
door and then springs up as James Freeman enters, showing
great excitement and distress. Doctor asks what is wrong.
Freeman makes excited reply, urging doctor to get ready and
"come quick." Doctor compels him to speak more calmly and,
when he knows just what is wrong and hears Norma's symptoms,
he nods head and holds up hand, telling Freeman to sit down
and be quiet while he prepares some medicine. He measures
some drug from bottle in graduate and pours it into
eight-ounce bottle. With this in hand he steps out of room.
Freeman greatly agitated and anxious to start. Turner comes
back almost immediately, just corking bottle. He slips it
into pocket, picks up hat and medical case, then follows
Freeman out of room.
