Love Plays Leading
Part In the PLAY.

Doris Elliott is loved by a crooked
politician, OLeary. who is dismissed
by her brother Richard. This is only a
part of the reason for o Leary's hatred
Of the young man, for, in addition,
Richard refuses to be bribed by the
man and thereupon takes means TO
bring him to the court on a charge OF
accepting bribe, and as Richard is the
inspector of the park department this
is so serious a charge that upon the
evidence presented by O'Leary and his
allies, Richard is thrown into Jail Doris
has been threatened with this very
thing when she refuses the advances
of O'Leary, and Richard feels sure that
this is part of his scheme to ruin him.
A friend of Richard, one Tom Nc
DermOtt, here takes a hand. He has
been newspaper reporter in New
York, but studies law, and gains ad-
mission to the bar on the day when
Richard is to be sentenced upon per-
tured testimony for bribe-taking. Nc.
Dermott calls to his aid a young news
paper friend, named Martin, and be-
tween them, the two try to gain delay
that they may find more evidence.
