That's the oddball, elegant but slightly creepy actor Gene Lyons, with his big ears and droopy eyes, NOT exactly your average gunfighter/killer. His scene in the office with Chester is probably the highlight of this VERY entertaining episode. "Well, if that doesn't beat all", says the guy with the limp after Lyons rides off.
A GREAT send-off for Chester, who somehow managed to insert himself into dangerous situations, rarely get involved in any gun play, yet still come out a winner.
A WONDERFUL script full of unexpected turns, and an excellent, sensitive performance by Jan Clayton (the original Julie Jordan in "Carousel" on Broadway, 1946).
Another top-tier episode from Gunsmoke's real "hey-day"-- the hour-long, B&W episodes ('61-65), before they went to color and things got too crazy, deranged and violent (in order to compete for viewers in the increasingly "mod" late '60's.) LR.
