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 ao-
mits she had the revolver. Her maid
testifes that Mary threatened Pollock
with it previously, and Mary's leading
man duplicates Langdon. How Mary dis
appeared from the scene Of the crime is
mystery. Brandon tells Of strange hama
print he saw on Mary's shoulder. Further
evidence shows that horror of drink pro-
duces temporary insanity in Mary. Ihe
defense is "repressed psychosis. Wit
neSses describe Mary's flight from her IN
toxicated father and her fathers suicide
Nurse Walton describes the KIDNAPPING OF
Mary by Pollock and Amy Barton tells
OF Mary's struggles to become an actress
and Pollock's pursuit of her. There Is
evidence that Daniels, Mary's manager
threatened Pollock. Mary faints on the
stand and again goes insane when a po-
Hceman offers her whisky. Daniels testi-
Ses that Pollock threatened to kill Mary
and Langdon and actually attempted to
kill the latter. Two witnesses describe
Mary's fight to the street from the hotel
and her abduction by men from gam
bling place near by. Further evidence
seems to incriminate Daniels.
