SYNOPSIS.

Mary Page, actress, is accused OF the
murder Of James Pollock and is defended
by her lover, Philip Langdon. Pollock
was intoxicated. At Mary's trial she ad-
mits she had the, revolver. Her maid
testifes that Mary threatened Pollock
with 1t previously, and Mary's leading
man duplicates Langdon. How Mary dis
appeared from the scene Of the crime is
mystery. Brandon tells Of strange hand
print he saw on Mary's shoulder. Further
evidence shows that horror Of drink pro-
duces temporary insanity in Mary. The
defense is "repressed psychosis." Wit
nesses described Mary's fight from her in
toxicated father and her fathers suicide.

grave with hint of wistfulness.
Another day Of the trial was begun
AS on the day before, so fraught with
terrible revelations, it was Mrs. Page
who was the first witness.
'I have only a few questions. Mrs.

to me that but for him my daughter

said that If I would not deal with

expect Mary to keep her word to him.

"You are perfectly right" said the

Langdon bowed his head submissive

erased from the minds Of those who
had heard them.
