This wasn't a bad story but it was hard to believe Jess would be stupid enough to have anything to do with this old acquaintance. Any town with a sheriff like that one should equally be departed from as soon as possible. I was surprised he'd been able to wire Daisy for help but it was thanks to her ingenuity and a bad guy's girlfriend that Jess escaped. I didn't see any trial featured where he was found guilty of anything by the way, despite being sentenced to hang! HOWEVER..! The habit of using one of the main leads while the other is absent (completely so, in this episode.. Slim is "on a hunting trip with Andy" apparently- so God knows who's attending to the stage) reduces the effect and the enjoyment, a lot of which lies in the interaction between Slim and Jess. I found it hard to believe the claim of Mr. Fuller in interviews when he said they both worked 12 hours a day, 5 days a week. John Smith must've had the full week off in this one. As another reviewer said, once a series becomes successful , they always start using this ploy of writing an episode round only one lead. Maybe it was handier to arrange having just one star involved per week. Daisy as a character is also used increasingly as time goes on, and while it's "cute", she's not who we're watching to see. If it had gone to a 5th series I expect Mike ( a kid I never took to) would be carrying an episode as well. Significantly, Laramie didn't go to a fifth one, though westerns hadn't quite gone out of fashion.
