“Namely?”
“That Margate had some communication of his own for Carney.”
“What do you advise doing, in that case?”
“Nothing, Hardy, on your part,” said Nick. “I think I see my way clear to doing all that should be done, in so far as this incident is concerned. Who is the judge before whom Carney will appear to-morrow?”
“Judge Greeley.”
“Where does he reside?”
“I will find you his address,” said Captain Hardy. “I haven’t got it in my head.”
Nick accompanied him to the outer office, where they consulted a city directory.
Twenty minutes later Nick alighted from a taxicab in front of the jurist’s residence. He found Judge Greeley at home, to whom he introduced himself, confiding the occasion for his visit and his reasons for the request he was about to make in regard to the case of Carney.
It seems needless to say that the request was readily granted, the nature of which will presently appear.
