Ford, a henchman of Boss Rogers, brings the news. The boss is furious. "We must dig up something in Carlisle's past, or we are all lost," he storms. Ford gets busy and cultivates the acquaintance of the district attorney's chauffeur. The man is reluctant to talk until Carlisle discharges him for negligence. Then he tells something which causes Ford to call up Rogers and announce: "I've got the goods on the district attorney." Next morning Carlisle receives a telegram from Rogers asking him to call without fail at his home that night. Admitted to the house, he finds Ford and the discharged chauffeur with Rogers. The boss opens fire at once. "You and a woman were at the home of Lawyer Bennett the night he was murdered, and we propose to find that woman," Carlisle merely smiles. From behind the curtains comes a stifled scream, and Mrs. Rogers, the young wife of the boss, rushes into the room. "I was the woman," she exclaims, and plunges into the tale of her past. Bennett had won her love as a girl. Learning that he was already married, she shunned him. Carlisle, then a struggling young lawyer, aided her. After her marriage to Rogers, Bennett threatened to show a letter she had written him. In his room she resisted his advances, felling him with a heavy vase. The blow was fatal. Carlisle alone knows the secret. Her dramatic story arouses Rogers' admiration for the district attorney, and because he loves his wife, the boss stops the conspiracy against Carlisle. A powerful illustration of the adage that "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
