Black Jack, walking over to Carson, places revolver in hand, saying, “Remember, you committed suicide.” Bravado business; turns away, laughing. Carson weakly rolls over. Looks at revolver in hand in dazed manner; sees Black Jack, takes feeble aim, fires. Black Jack lunges forward, dead.

Scene 43. Despatch-office, as in 8.
Carson, apparently dead, moves as if awakening from deep slumber, feebly arises to half-sitting and half-lying position. Wearing a queer little tired smile, feebly gropes as if in dark for the key, sends message.
Subtitle: “Put 5 into clear for 2—quick.”
Door bursts open, superintendent and telegrapher rush in. All suddenly tense.
