Coy, young lawyer of San Francisco. Cal.

band Of Russian Nihilists by one of their
number The Nihllists discover the traitress
aad condemn her to death. They decide by
lot who shall perform the execution, and the
number fell to the character portrayed by
Mccoy. Miss Grace King played the part
of the traitress, who is given the choice OF
being killed or stabbing herself, AMI chooses
the latter alternative.

Miss King received the knife she reacned
