It was soon proved that Nick was entirely right.
The upper part of Low’s farm was rich in oil.
The farmer acted more than honestly about it.
With the help of Folsom, who was greatly pleased to learn that the clergyman had not committed suicide, Low got the names and addresses of all who had put money into the scheme of which Judson had been president. And in the end nobody who had invested with the clergyman lost anything.
No attempt was made to get back the part of the farm that was sold, for the land wasn’t worth the trouble.
Jack Thompson confessed, but that did not save him from severe punishment. He was put in prison for life, and Claymore and Hamilton were hanged.
Nick Carter and his faithful assistant, Patsy, were content at last.
THE END.
“Millions at Stake” is the title of New Magnet No. 1210, by Nicholas Carter. A story in which Nick Carter’s brilliant young assistants all help to solve a mystery that involves millions in the Stock Exchange.
