"See here—a ticket for a drawing-room to New York, and one railroad-ticket!"
"Yes, but—"
"Two railroad-tickets are required for possession of the drawing-room," he said quietly. "Warren had only one. It is clear, then, that the holder of the missing ticket was going to accompany him; so what we have to do now—"
"Is to find the other railroad-ticket," finished Leverage dryly. "Which isn't any lead-pipe cinch, I'd say!"
CHAPTER IV
CARROLL HAS A VISITOR
Carroll gazed intently upon the face of the dead man. There was a half quizzical light in the detective's eyes as he spoke, apparently to no one.
"I've often thought," he said, "in a case like this, how much simpler things would be if the murdered man could talk."
"H-m!" rejoined the practical Leverage. "If he could, he wouldn't be dead."
"Perhaps you're right. And following that to a logical conclusion, if he were not dead we wouldn't be particularly interested in what he had to say."
