While he is on his knees confessing, he sticks a dagger into the cowl of the priest's garb. After receiving absolution, he leaves the room; on reaching the exterior of the rectory, he calls two gendarmes to whom he hastily explains that a murder has bee committed. He accuses the priest of the murder, giving as evidence the bloody dagger in the cowl of the priest's garb, and leading the gendarmes and the priest to the room where the body of the dead girl lies. The priest is tried, sentenced to death, and excommunicated, and rather than betray the confessional, he goes to his death on the guillotine. A year later, in a dilapidated house, Jacques is found surrounded only by the empty brandy and absinthe bottles, and a French woman with him, whom he has requested to send for a priest, so that on his deathbed he may confess the crime for which an innocent man went to his death. The priest comes, receives his confession, and gives him absolution, and the murderer dies. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
