Speaker 1 (01:00):
The case of the Sunken Dollar. Today's Adventure with Nick
Carter brought to you by All Dutch Cleaner. At five
o'clock Monday afternoon, a heavy set man and a pretty
redheaded girl walked down the twisted streets near Maiden Lane
and enter the musty shop of Jason Grange, one of
the biggest coin dealers in the East.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
It's a Grange.

A big stiff pain, always coming in and closing time.
Never give him any chance to have dinner. Now, what
is it?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Please? What is it?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Isn't it the most cunning man in the whole. I'm
dec twined.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Daddy told me you were cute, but I never dreamed
the famous mister Grange would be like this.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I got half a mind to give you a great
old hug and a kid.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Please.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I'm Sally Ann Mason. You can call me Salad Mason.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Mason. You're related to Colonel Mason the members.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'm his daughter, mister Graine, great.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
Collector, Colonel Mason, one of the best. So you're his daughter? Hell, well,
well what are you doing in?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Tell me?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Daddy sent me up to buy a coin from you,
mister Grain.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
He died, Eh, think of that.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
He wants to buy the eighteen four silver dollar.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Well, I never thought he'd get around to it. Hey,
price is ten thousand dollars, you.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Know, Yes, I brought the cash with me cash. Yes,
this is mister Brown from the back. He was sweet
enough to chaffer me around the city. She showed mister
Grains the money. Mister Brown, you got.
Speaker 9 (02:49):
It right here, mister Grange. In five hundreds. But if
you don't mind.
Speaker 10 (02:54):
I've got the responsibility for this little girl. If could
I ask.
Speaker 9 (02:58):
Quiet the coin she's buying, it's supposed to be worth
ten thousand.
Speaker 8 (03:03):
You're interested, eh, of course, wait, I'll take it out.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
We safe. You can see for yourself. Good.
Speaker 8 (03:10):
In the year eighteen four, nineteen thousand silver dollars were mended,
but only three were in existence today. Well, the reason
is that the coins were shipped Lors by boat from
the men. The boat was lost at sea. It makes
the eighteen four dollars one of the rarest American coins.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And here it is, I.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Declare, isn't it just too cunning for work? Okay, Lily, sure?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
What's it? Well? Manday? I hope this is really urgent.
If interrupted three reports and a lab analysis with your hurry.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Up call not to mention making me miss my dinner.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Nick, this is really a mess.
Speaker 10 (04:02):
Murder with a sword of trimming.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:05):
This is the body of Jason Grange, coin collector and dealer,
murdered about an hour ago, three bullets dead center through
the heart. I see what in the first place. Grange
was shot with the craziest looking bullets I ever saw.
A medical examiner just extracted them. Here.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Take a look chronicle slug with a point square doll Yeah,
you know what it is? Sure, the square pointed nine
millimeters lugar bullet, Mady, It's unusual in this country. What else?
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Well, whoever murdered Jason Grange stole only one single coin?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
What coin?
Speaker 8 (04:41):
An antique silver dollar dated eighteen four, worth ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yes, the famous lost dollar. Most of them are supposed
to have been lost by shipwreck. But how do you
know the dollar was the only thing stolen that.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
Oh, we checked on that checked his stock against his inventory.
The only thing we could find missing was that sunken dollar.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Sounds logical.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
And here's another trimming before Grains died, he scrolled the
numbers one eight oh.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Four in blood on the floor. You see it? Oh, yes,
it's curious there and curious here? Anything else? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (05:20):
And this so killion Under the counter we found the
corner of a five hundred dollar bill. Looks like it
was torn off accidentally.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Here this is very interesting. Happened to notice that the
engraving is rather fuzzy, Maddy.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
You got quick eyes. Nick took me ten minutes before
I noticed.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
What are you two talking about this.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Is a piece of connivent money, Patsy.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
Well, Nick, let's see you put it together.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Why did the killer only.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Steal the eighteen four dollars when he could have taken
a fortune in.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Money and rare coins?
Speaker 8 (05:54):
And how come the counterfeit five hundreds?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Just one answer, Matty. This was murder for abbit, murder
for money. The killer or killers deliberately murdered Grains to
advertise a theft of the eighteen four dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Why are you forge that, Nick?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
On the first place, Grains didn't write eighteen four blood
the killer did what. Grains was killed with three bullets
through the heart. He must have died instantly. He couldn't
have written that date. We're sure that's right. The killer
wants the world to know that the eighteen four dollars
was stolen.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Fine, so he can sell it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh, I don't think so. I don't overlook the conifit money, Bessy,
what's that gotta do? The killer probably got Grains to
show him the dollar by flashing phony money and pretending
to be interested in buying. But why if the killer
can counterfeit modern money, he certainly can counterfeit an eighteen
four dollars.
Speaker 10 (06:44):
Holy smoke, Nick, you think he's going to counterfeit a
whole pack.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Of these sunken dollars? I do with a theft well
advertised he can sell dozens at ten thousand dollars each,
pretending each one is the original stolen dollar.
Speaker 10 (06:57):
Then what do we do?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
We got nothing?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The goal man, You've got plenty. That Louger bullet is
a rare bullet. There a many dealers in this city
who'll carry it. Oh, you're right, Nick, Thank got your
squad out check every dealer. Try to get a line
on recent purchases. Right, what about you? I'm going back
to the laboratory and do some research into the fine
art of counterfeiting.
Speaker 11 (07:27):
Nick, Nick, I's past midnight.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Don't you have a going to quit?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'm almost finished, Percy.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
What have you got?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well? I've been through my counterfeiting samples about twenty times.
I think I've eliminated all except five of them. Each
of those five closely resemble the work on this note.
Get our files on counterfeiters.

That's pretty smart anyway. Eh.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
Yeah, there, he's anything, best job ever done. Let's see

Okay, wrap him up, Louie.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Let's get out of here.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Just a minute. Folks.

Speaker 7 (11:22):
Okay, Hazel, this is twenty eight second, Patsy.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Oh, I feel as I'm walking in my sleep.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's a a little lafter one. We'll be finished soon.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Take a look at the sign on the door says
this building's been condemned.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, so I see him and we're out of luck.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Not necessary. Unfortunately, it's not unusual for people to have
to live in a condemned building until it's actually torn down.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
That's true. Certainly be an ideal place for a hideout.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I honest, you didn't find anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
M h God, it's the darkest pitchon here.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Get my flight slided out, it's better.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Oh, Nick, this place looks deserted.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Maybe this apartment certainly empty?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
So's this one?
Speaker 8 (12:33):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
This is a wild goose chase me I worked.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
There are a couple of empty milk bottles outside that
door down the hall.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Well, they've probably been there for mama's first Betsy.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
We can't afford to jump to conclusions. I just take
a look in that apartment anyway.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Okay, there's no furniture in here, Nick, So I say, Nick,
it's not that perfume. Somebody's been in here recently.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yes, smell is too strong to be very old.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Oh oh, Nick, Is that Peter Baker there on the floor, Yes.
Speaker 12 (13:12):
And he's very dead.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
In the glare of the flashlight, Pete Baker's body is outlined,
sprawled on the cluttered floor. Swiftly, Nick inspects the dingy room.
Having discovered Pete Baker's body on the floor of his room.
Nick examines the dead man closely.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Cool bullet wounds in the chest, body is still warm.
Hm hm, that's sat Baker was killed only a few
minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Make that perfume we smelled. Maybe the woman who wore
that perfume killed him.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Possible one. If there's anyone else living in this house
who might have seen or heard anything.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
There's one way to find out, Nick.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, I'll see what I can find in here. While
I do that, suppose you go through the building, cover
every apartment, right, see if you can find anyone who
her shots about five minutes ago, and what they did
about it if they did.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Nick has been to every apartment in the building.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Why did you find nothing?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
They're all empty? You find anything?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I did. There was a woman in here with Baker.
I found this long red hair. Oh, but I think
there was a man with her. Well, why do you
think that found the cigar butt under that chair? Stop
it where he sat? See all the cigar hashes in
the floor there.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
But couldn't Baker have left it there? Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I doubt that Baker smoked a pipe still there on
the floor where he dropped it when he was shut.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Yeah, Nick, what do you think happened?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Baker must have been making a mold for them?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
The blow porch and crucibles and other apparatus are still walking.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Couldn't you have been making a mold of the eighteen
oh four dollar that? You suppose?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Very likely the way this case ties together. When he
finished it, they killed him and then walked out.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yeah, you're through here.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Now, Nick, Yeah, I think so. We'll call Matty and
go home and get some wrist.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Okay, Nick, here's the final report.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
From the lab. Fine, Matty, let's have it. Well, you
figured it out just about right.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
There apparently was a man and a woman in the
place with Baker, and she was a redhead. The chances
are she's the same redhead who bought the Luger.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Bullets by Joel Maddy. I've forgotten about that when.
Speaker 10 (15:35):
We got the man's prince, but the woman wore gloves.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Could you identify the man?
Speaker 8 (15:39):
Yeah, we checked the prince he left on this magazine, Nick,
he's Louis Larkin, hijacker, gunman and all around crookk two
turns in his fate.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Ten here's his file photo. Ah, that helps?
Speaker 12 (15:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Hey, what's this slip of paper in the magazine? Made
something of yours? Huh? No, no, just now.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
The dealer must have stuck in before he sold it says,
if you want your newspapers forwarded to you while you're
on vacation, leave your name.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
At the store. Maddie, you say you found Larkin's prints
on this magazine. Eh, look at the dateline. Huh. This
magazine was put on the stands only yesterday.
Speaker 10 (16:18):
Yeah, how does that help you?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
See the name on his head Oh.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
Rogers Candy Store one hundred Park Road.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
So what, Oh, Maddie, don't you see that's the store
this magazine came from.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
But what was it doing in Baker's place?
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Then?
Speaker 10 (16:32):
Oh, that's right.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
Park Road is where Crosstown from where Baker lives.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Sure, maybe Baker didn't buy the magazine. Maybe Louis or
the girl bought it.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Yeah, maybe Louie and the girl are hiding out somewhere
near this Rogers Candy store.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That's what I was thinking. Well, if they are, Patsy
and I will find them.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Louis, Yeah, got the bags pack yet?
Speaker 10 (17:10):
Yeah, I start finished.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I've been going over the list of coin collectors.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Louis got a nice schedule worked out and we hit
Chicago first. Got are three collectors there ten grand each
makes thirty grand.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
It's well in Saint Louis.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Cleveland, New Orleans, al Pazzo, La First Go and Seattle Away.
I figured it we'll split three hundred grand easy.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
We sure should.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Pretty cheap of knocking off a couple of funks.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Huh, huge jetted aesel.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You remember to get the rain tickets yesterday?
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Sure they're on the dresses there in the envelope, right,
I got.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
A hand it to myself, Louie. It's a foolproof racket.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Some of these collectors a crazy guy, I said, daffy enough.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
They don't mind buying rare coins even when they know this.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
What I like about it is that they got to
keep it secret because they're buying stolen goods. They got
to cover up rush.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
That's food proof, Louis one percent eight which Maddy comes
the window quick well.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Down on the corner in front of the candy store.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
See that tall guy standing there with magazines under his arms. Yeah,
I see that's Nick Carter.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Nick Carter.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Yeah, how's love with that packing, Louise. Let's get out
of here.
Speaker 10 (18:34):
Yeah, say, maybe.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Cauter's around just by accident. Maybe he's on to it.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Either way, we're taking no chances, not for three hundred
grand and a murder.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Raffe ancient.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Over here patching. Hurry up.
Speaker 5 (19:01):

get dressed up like a Bobby Socks? Who meet you
here in front of Roger's candy store. Hey, you're gonna
buy me a soda?
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
No, they're going to sell magazine subscriptions us I am, yes,
why in order to find a pair of killers.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Okay, Nick, jive with the plan.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Do you remember one of them left a magazine at
Pete Baker's workshop and I traced it to this candy store.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
The proprietor says he's sure of the man who bought
it lives in that house across the street, but he
doesn't know who he is or in what apartment he.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Lives, And so I'm going to sell subscriptions from apartment
to apartment until I find him.

I'm thinking, Jason, when you're giving the think Tanker workout,
I'll take care of.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
This an easy sister.
Speaker 10 (21:20):
All I do is pull the trigger and you won't
feel hardly, nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Pleasant Trees.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Patsy struggled helplessly as Louis Larkin aims his Luger automatic
at her heart.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
We'll see what happens in just a.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Moment and all for the conclusion of the case of
the Sunken Dollar.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
The house at here the shop. It wouldn't stand a chance.
You mean we'll let this dame go, take her with
us to run into Ferance. Cad'll be too busy.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Looking for the girl to worry about us.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Maybe he won't, and he'll be too busy worrying about
the girl and make her move.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
She's like a hostage. Louis, get it?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Yeah, well, Cott is watching the front door.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
We are going out the back way. Take a cab
to the station.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
What about the dam?
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Stop worrying, but we can't take Look, Louis, we've got
a compartment on a train, and somewhere along the way
we'll push her out the winter with a bullet in
her head.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
Okay, Hazel, but I think your nuts to do it.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Let her go.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Now, look here, you and you listen to me, sister.
One false move and Louis, lets you have it here
and now understand, I understand. We might as well burn
for three murders.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
It's for two.
Speaker 14 (23:02):
There's your heck coming, Hazel, Hey, taxi Hachi, get in, honey, okay,
a train terminal driver, and when you please close the.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Glass, Partian, I'm awfully coal back here.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Coming on, Okay, lady, I'll close the glass.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Okay, we made it. How to wait for the girl
to come out? Maybe ten minutes and he'll start.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Looking, Yeah, and he won't find nothing. What a laugh.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
It'll take the first train out.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Hey, maybe that don't go to Shiny and we.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Can always get the shy later. It will start on
the west coast for.
Speaker 10 (23:45):
Now, h It's okay with me. The further from Carter,
the better.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Look. Look, I'll make a bet with you one hundred
dollars to one cent that you don't get away from Nick.
We've already got away, sister. Is it a bed? It's
a bet.
Speaker 9 (24:01):
Only trouble is you won't be around to collect even
if you win.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Hey, hey, where are what's he stopping for?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
This isn't anywhere near the terminal?
Speaker 10 (24:15):
Step right up, lady, Let me help you with your bags.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
And oh, we all don't want to get out here,
I said, the tree terminal. This isn't a terminal.
Speaker 10 (24:24):
You're crazy? What is this place?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Police headquarters? Lois? Why don't you don't know, Mont Patter,
You get out.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
First, okay, Nick? Nick? Nick Carter?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yes, Hazel, my name is Nick Carter, and I will
just pile out of this cab, luggage, gun, mules and all,
and walk quietly into headquarters. Sergeant Matheson wants to talk
to you about some assorted thefts and murders all our please, Oh.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Well before I forget one cent, please, Hazel, and not
only win the.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Bed I'm here to collect.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
God, was a beautiful job, Nick, beautiful.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
But there's just.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
One thing I don't figure.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
What's that matter?
Speaker 8 (25:15):
How in places did you know enough to get around
to the back street and borrow that cab?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I have ears, haven't I? I heard Hazel and Louis
making their plans.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
You heard them?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
How I was outside the apartment door. You don't think
I'd let you walk into that murderous den alone, do you?
I was right behind you all the way.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
You were right behind me, yes, Betsy. And why didn't
you butt in and catch those two crooks right then
and there?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Didn't want to take any chances on anyone in a
crowded apartment house being hit by stray bullets.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
So they might have killed me before they left.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Patsy, You may be sure that I waited until I
knew they were going to take you with them before
I did what I did. What say? That was quite
a nice All State MACS Universal Magazine.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
You didn't trust me to do it all but myself? You, Oh,
you'd treat me just like a baby.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
No, fat, I hate you.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
You you near man ah.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
Patsy, easy, you know if it comes to that. How
come you were so positive Nick could get Hazel and Lowie. Oh?
Speaker 10 (26:19):
I heard all about the bet one hundred.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Dollars to one cent.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Oh that Yeah, you were betting on a sure thing yourself, now,
weren't you?
Speaker 10 (26:28):
You knew Nick was the cab driver.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I did not. I never recognized him.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Then how come the bet?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Because I knew I could trust Nick, which is more
than he can say.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
For me, Patsy. If I hadn't followed you to protect you,
I wouldn't have been able to win that bet for you. Well?
Speaker 12 (26:46):
Oh, oh, all.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Right, you win. Heaven knows you always do.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Nick.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
And all?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The case of the Sunken Dollar. Today's Adventure with Nick
Carter brought to you by All Dutch Cleaner. At five
o'clock Monday afternoon, a heavy set man and a pretty
redheaded girl walked down the twisted streets near Maiden Lane
and enter the musty shop of Jason Grange, one of
the biggest coin dealers in the East.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
It's a Grange.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
It's a Grange, y'all. Here in the stares one please,
just one woman.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's okay, We're the only ones here.
Speaker 8 (01:35):
You ex give me a pain, that's what you do.
A big stiff pain, always coming in and closing time.
Never give him any chance to have dinner. Now, what
is it?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Please? What is it?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Isn't it the most cunning man in the whole. I'm
dec twined.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Daddy told me you were cute, but I never dreamed
the famous mister Grange would be like this.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I got half a mind to give you a great
old hug and a kid.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Please.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I'm Sally Ann Mason. You can call me Salad Mason.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Mason. You're related to Colonel Mason the members.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'm his daughter, mister Graine, great.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
Collector, Colonel Mason, one of the best. So you're his daughter? Hell, well,
well what are you doing in?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Tell me?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Daddy sent me up to buy a coin from you,
mister Grain.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
He died, Eh, think of that.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
He wants to buy the eighteen four silver dollar.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Well, I never thought he'd get around to it. Hey,
price is ten thousand dollars, you.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Know, Yes, I brought the cash with me cash. Yes,
this is mister Brown from the back. He was sweet
enough to chaffer me around the city. She showed mister
Grains the money. Mister Brown, you got.
Speaker 9 (02:49):
It right here, mister Grange. In five hundreds. But if
you don't mind.
Speaker 10 (02:54):
I've got the responsibility for this little girl. If could
I ask.
Speaker 9 (02:58):
Quiet the coin she's buying, it's supposed to be worth
ten thousand.
Speaker 8 (03:03):
You're interested, eh, of course, wait, I'll take it out.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
We safe. You can see for yourself. Good.
Speaker 8 (03:10):
In the year eighteen four, nineteen thousand silver dollars were mended,
but only three were in existence today. Well, the reason
is that the coins were shipped Lors by boat from
the men. The boat was lost at sea. It makes
the eighteen four dollars one of the rarest American coins.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And here it is, I.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Declare, isn't it just too cunning for work? Okay, Lily, sure?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
What's it? Well? Manday? I hope this is really urgent.
If interrupted three reports and a lab analysis with your hurry.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Up call not to mention making me miss my dinner.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Nick, this is really a mess.
Speaker 10 (04:02):
Murder with a sword of trimming.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:05):
This is the body of Jason Grange, coin collector and dealer,
murdered about an hour ago, three bullets dead center through
the heart. I see what in the first place. Grange
was shot with the craziest looking bullets I ever saw.
A medical examiner just extracted them. Here.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Take a look chronicle slug with a point square doll Yeah,
you know what it is? Sure, the square pointed nine
millimeters lugar bullet, Mady, It's unusual in this country. What else?
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Well, whoever murdered Jason Grange stole only one single coin?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
What coin?
Speaker 8 (04:41):
An antique silver dollar dated eighteen four, worth ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yes, the famous lost dollar. Most of them are supposed
to have been lost by shipwreck. But how do you
know the dollar was the only thing stolen that.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
Oh, we checked on that checked his stock against his inventory.
The only thing we could find missing was that sunken dollar.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Sounds logical.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
And here's another trimming before Grains died, he scrolled the
numbers one eight oh.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Four in blood on the floor. You see it? Oh, yes,
it's curious there and curious here? Anything else? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (05:20):
And this so killion Under the counter we found the
corner of a five hundred dollar bill. Looks like it
was torn off accidentally.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Here this is very interesting. Happened to notice that the
engraving is rather fuzzy, Maddy.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
You got quick eyes. Nick took me ten minutes before
I noticed.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
What are you two talking about this.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Is a piece of connivent money, Patsy.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
Well, Nick, let's see you put it together.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Why did the killer only.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Steal the eighteen four dollars when he could have taken
a fortune in.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Money and rare coins?
Speaker 8 (05:54):
And how come the counterfeit five hundreds?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Just one answer, Matty. This was murder for abbit, murder
for money. The killer or killers deliberately murdered Grains to
advertise a theft of the eighteen four dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Why are you forge that, Nick?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
On the first place, Grains didn't write eighteen four blood
the killer did what. Grains was killed with three bullets
through the heart. He must have died instantly. He couldn't
have written that date. We're sure that's right. The killer
wants the world to know that the eighteen four dollars
was stolen.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Fine, so he can sell it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh, I don't think so. I don't overlook the conifit money, Bessy,
what's that gotta do? The killer probably got Grains to
show him the dollar by flashing phony money and pretending
to be interested in buying. But why if the killer
can counterfeit modern money, he certainly can counterfeit an eighteen
four dollars.
Speaker 10 (06:44):
Holy smoke, Nick, you think he's going to counterfeit a
whole pack.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Of these sunken dollars? I do with a theft well
advertised he can sell dozens at ten thousand dollars each,
pretending each one is the original stolen dollar.
Speaker 10 (06:57):
Then what do we do?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
We got nothing?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The goal man, You've got plenty. That Louger bullet is
a rare bullet. There a many dealers in this city
who'll carry it. Oh, you're right, Nick, Thank got your
squad out check every dealer. Try to get a line
on recent purchases. Right, what about you? I'm going back
to the laboratory and do some research into the fine
art of counterfeiting.
Speaker 11 (07:27):
Nick, Nick, I's past midnight.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Don't you have a going to quit?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'm almost finished, Percy.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
What have you got?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well? I've been through my counterfeiting samples about twenty times.
I think I've eliminated all except five of them. Each
of those five closely resemble the work on this note.
Get our files on counterfeiters.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Ready.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
First sample Jerry.

And gets us down to three. Joe Mitchell.

we'd run out of twenty eighty seconds.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
See oh Son Nick Carter's office, Patty Bowen speaking.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I see this is Matty, got a re portman Nick

A nine millimeter slug in the past six.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Months is a woman. A woman, Yeah, she bought it
last week. Couldn't get anything much in the way of
a description. She's a pretty redhead, that's all. H all right,

You know, he's a use on, like a pretty cute
kid when you put on that Southern action to use.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, I mean you don't like me this way?

Oh sure, sure you better.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Hey, Grandpa, I'm tideway all.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
Right, all right, the first time ever made moles roll
fashioned goal, I just got her.
Speaker 9 (10:05):
You better do better with that than you did with
them forty five hundred two flash down Grange, though, the
old boy is gonna get wise.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
They were so bad.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
You got a nerve Charcoli Gradu, the best Graver and
Mueller and one.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Kay okay, okay, just get those moles finished, those.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Bad finish now, wait a minute, aim to cast them
silver does show them?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (10:31):
Worth much ten grand.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Each, Grandpa, And it's safer and passing regular though he's
the guy that finds an eighteen four dollar finds out
it's the phony.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He can't squawk. He's already bought stolen goods.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
That's pretty smart anyway. Eh.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
Yeah, there, he's anything, best job ever done. Let's see
what we'll tell a coin cass from this mold.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
From the real thing. Yeah, pretty good, pretty good.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Okay, wrap him up, Louie.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Let's get out of here.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Just a minute. Folks.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Five grand's the price for making their molds. You don't
take them unless you get paid.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
He wants to be paid, pay of Looie.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Okay, Hazel, this is twenty eight second, Patsy.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Oh, I feel as I'm walking in my sleep.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's a a little lafter one. We'll be finished soon.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Take a look at the sign on the door says
this building's been condemned.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, so I see him and we're out of luck.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Not necessary. Unfortunately, it's not unusual for people to have
to live in a condemned building until it's actually torn down.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
That's true. Certainly be an ideal place for a hideout.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I honest, you didn't find anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
M h God, it's the darkest pitchon here.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Get my flight slided out, it's better.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Oh, Nick, this place looks deserted.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Maybe this apartment certainly empty?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
So's this one?
Speaker 8 (12:33):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
This is a wild goose chase me I worked.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
There are a couple of empty milk bottles outside that
door down the hall.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Well, they've probably been there for mama's first Betsy.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
We can't afford to jump to conclusions. I just take
a look in that apartment anyway.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Okay, there's no furniture in here, Nick, So I say, Nick,
it's not that perfume. Somebody's been in here recently.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yes, smell is too strong to be very old.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Oh oh, Nick, Is that Peter Baker there on the floor, Yes.
Speaker 12 (13:12):
And he's very dead.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
In the glare of the flashlight, Pete Baker's body is outlined,
sprawled on the cluttered floor. Swiftly, Nick inspects the dingy room.
Having discovered Pete Baker's body on the floor of his room.
Nick examines the dead man closely.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Cool bullet wounds in the chest, body is still warm.
Hm hm, that's sat Baker was killed only a few
minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Make that perfume we smelled. Maybe the woman who wore
that perfume killed him.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Possible one. If there's anyone else living in this house
who might have seen or heard anything.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
There's one way to find out, Nick.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, I'll see what I can find in here. While
I do that, suppose you go through the building, cover
every apartment, right, see if you can find anyone who
her shots about five minutes ago, and what they did
about it if they did.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Nick has been to every apartment in the building.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Why did you find nothing?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
They're all empty? You find anything?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I did. There was a woman in here with Baker.
I found this long red hair. Oh, but I think
there was a man with her. Well, why do you
think that found the cigar butt under that chair? Stop
it where he sat? See all the cigar hashes in
the floor there.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
But couldn't Baker have left it there? Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I doubt that Baker smoked a pipe still there on
the floor where he dropped it when he was shut.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Yeah, Nick, what do you think happened?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Baker must have been making a mold for them?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
The blow porch and crucibles and other apparatus are still walking.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Couldn't you have been making a mold of the eighteen
oh four dollar that? You suppose?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Very likely the way this case ties together. When he
finished it, they killed him and then walked out.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yeah, you're through here.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Now, Nick, Yeah, I think so. We'll call Matty and
go home and get some wrist.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Okay, Nick, here's the final report.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
From the lab. Fine, Matty, let's have it. Well, you
figured it out just about right.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
There apparently was a man and a woman in the
place with Baker, and she was a redhead. The chances
are she's the same redhead who bought the Luger.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Bullets by Joel Maddy. I've forgotten about that when.
Speaker 10 (15:35):
We got the man's prince, but the woman wore gloves.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Could you identify the man?
Speaker 8 (15:39):
Yeah, we checked the prince he left on this magazine, Nick,
he's Louis Larkin, hijacker, gunman and all around crookk two
turns in his fate.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Ten here's his file photo. Ah, that helps?
Speaker 12 (15:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Hey, what's this slip of paper in the magazine? Made
something of yours? Huh? No, no, just now.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
The dealer must have stuck in before he sold it says,
if you want your newspapers forwarded to you while you're
on vacation, leave your name.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
At the store. Maddie, you say you found Larkin's prints
on this magazine. Eh, look at the dateline. Huh. This
magazine was put on the stands only yesterday.
Speaker 10 (16:18):
Yeah, how does that help you?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
See the name on his head Oh.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
Rogers Candy Store one hundred Park Road.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
So what, Oh, Maddie, don't you see that's the store
this magazine came from.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
But what was it doing in Baker's place?
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Then?
Speaker 10 (16:32):
Oh, that's right.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
Park Road is where Crosstown from where Baker lives.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Sure, maybe Baker didn't buy the magazine. Maybe Louis or
the girl bought it.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Yeah, maybe Louie and the girl are hiding out somewhere
near this Rogers Candy store.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That's what I was thinking. Well, if they are, Patsy
and I will find them.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Louis, Yeah, got the bags pack yet?
Speaker 10 (17:10):
Yeah, I start finished.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I've been going over the list of coin collectors.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Louis got a nice schedule worked out and we hit
Chicago first. Got are three collectors there ten grand each
makes thirty grand.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
It's well in Saint Louis.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Cleveland, New Orleans, al Pazzo, La First Go and Seattle Away.
I figured it we'll split three hundred grand easy.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
We sure should.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Pretty cheap of knocking off a couple of funks.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Huh, huge jetted aesel.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You remember to get the rain tickets yesterday?
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Sure they're on the dresses there in the envelope, right,
I got.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
A hand it to myself, Louie. It's a foolproof racket.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Some of these collectors a crazy guy, I said, daffy enough.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
They don't mind buying rare coins even when they know this.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
What I like about it is that they got to
keep it secret because they're buying stolen goods. They got
to cover up rush.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
That's food proof, Louis one percent eight which Maddy comes
the window quick well.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Down on the corner in front of the candy store.

Yeah, how's love with that packing, Louise. Let's get out
of here.

Yeah, say, maybe.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Cauter's around just by accident. Maybe he's on to it.

grand and a murder.

Pete Baker's workshop and I traced it to this candy store.

it lives in that house across the street, but he
doesn't know who he is or in what apartment he.

if you win.

Speaker 8 (25:08):
God, was a beautiful job, Nick, beautiful.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
But there's just.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
One thing I don't figure.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
What's that matter?
Speaker 8 (25:15):
How in places did you know enough to get around
to the back street and borrow that cab?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I have ears, haven't I? I heard Hazel and Louis
making their plans.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
You heard them?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
How I was outside the apartment door. You don't think
I'd let you walk into that murderous den alone, do you?
I was right behind you all the way.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
You were right behind me, yes, Betsy. And why didn't
you butt in and catch those two crooks right then
and there?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Didn't want to take any chances on anyone in a
crowded apartment house being hit by stray bullets.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
So they might have killed me before they left.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Patsy, You may be sure that I waited until I
knew they were going to take you with them before
I did what I did. What say? That was quite
a nice All State MACS Universal Magazine.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
You didn't trust me to do it all but myself? You, Oh,
you'd treat me just like a baby.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
No, fat, I hate you.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
You you near man ah.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
Patsy, easy, you know if it comes to that. How
come you were so positive Nick could get Hazel and Lowie. Oh?
Speaker 10 (26:19):
I heard all about the bet one hundred.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Dollars to one cent.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Oh that Yeah, you were betting on a sure thing yourself, now,
weren't you?
Speaker 10 (26:28):
You knew Nick was the cab driver.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I did not. I never recognized him.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Then how come the bet?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Because I knew I could trust Nick, which is more
than he can say.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
For me, Patsy. If I hadn't followed you to protect you,
I wouldn't have been able to win that bet for you. Well?
Speaker 12 (26:46):
Oh, oh, all.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Right, you win. Heaven knows you always do.
