Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, DeForest Kelley guest stars in "No Amnesty for Death," episode 25 of the third season of Bat Masterson (original air date March 30, 1961).
Kelley plays one of three men who are about to be hanged for their participation in the Lincoln County War when Bat Masterson arrives with a last-minute pardon, to the horror of the local sheriff, whose sons were killed in the conflict. As soon as the prisoners are released, they immediately rob a stagecoach and Kelley kills the driver. Masterson helps track them down, but instead of arresting them the sheriff starts a gunfight in which he and Kelley are both killed. Another perfectly good saloon floor ruined.
