picion on Sunders, who is tried for

Saunders Is found guilty OF the mur.
der of Singleton and at the last mo-
ment the Chnaman appears on the
scene with evidence proving that Josiah
scraggs Is the guilty party. The scene
winds up with the dismay Of Seraggs
and the happiness Of Saunders and
Mary Brandon, who has learned to love
him for his honorable qualities. His
great love for her enables him to overlook
her shame and be regards her as Ned
