Murder by magic. Or Nick Carter and the mystery of the missing identity. I wonder how Scovey's making out. Do you suppose that he had any trouble, Nick? I doubt it, Betsy. Scovey knows Philadelphia well enough to get all the information I want without any trouble.

I want without any difficulty. Yes, but he's been gone three days now. He didn't plan to be gone that long, did he? Well, no, Patsy. But it's that home as possible to tell in advance how long it's going to take to put...

Nick Carter's office. Nick, they're pappy. What's govby? Yes, he's here. How are you making out? Oh, please put Nick on. I've got to talk to him quick. Well, sure, Scovey. Here he is. Nick, it's govby. He sounds as though there was something wrong.

What kind of trouble? I think you have killed a man. Oh, no, I don't try to be funny, Scubby, which is all about. I'm not being funny, Nick. I'm really in a jam. I apparently killed a man last night.

Oh, look, there's Scubby. You certainly know whether you've killed somebody or not. But I don't, Nick. What makes you think you have? It's so so in the paper. What paper? The Chicago paper. Oh, please, Nick.
