Some little time later this same case is brought before him: Moreland and his wife were not happy and the inevitable has followed; the other man won the love of the neglected wife. When Moreland found out, he killed him. Mrs. Moreland calls upon the Judge in an endeavor to persuade him to be lenient with her husband, as she feels that she is to blame, but the Judge is adamant and will give her no hope. As she is leaving the house she encounters the Judge's wife, who promises to help. When the Judge retires he finds a note informing him that his wife has gone to the man she loves. The Judge is stunned and seeks the wrecker of his happiness, and is confronted by his wife as he is upon the point of killing "the other man." His wife tells him that she has done this in an endeavor to make him realize that Moreland did no more than any other man would have done under similar circumstances. This convinces the judge and he agrees to be lenient. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
