Dick Powell's commentary at the beginning:
"These were among the last weapons of Bill Longley, a gunman credited with
killing 32 people. Bill retired to become a farmer, I guess he figured
it was time to stop raising kane and star raising a few beans. It didn't
last long tho, so he was hanged October 11, 1878. His newspaper epitaph
read, "Bill Longley got the rope today, gave up the farm for gunplay.
Should have stayed behind the plow, he's pushing up the daises now."
In the story we have chosen for you this week, "Gift From a Gunman",
we'll see how difficult it is for a gunman to retire. [RF]
