Brunson remarked, "Scarne, how in heaven did you get those cards into your pocket?" In the meantime Baldwin had picked up the deck of cards and was closely examining them when Caro said, "Bobby, that's Doyle's deck of cards, not Scarne's." "I know it's Doyle's deck. I'm looking for some sort of marks or crimps in the deck but there are none that I can find," replied Baldwin.
