The major's complaint is but one of many similar cases reported. Francis and Hilton have frequently observed Jeffries, an attendant employed by Balmer, a blind guest, making sketches. Francis discovers that the sketches are remarkably accurate copies of the scarf-pins worn by the other guests. Their suspicions aroused, the detectives call upon Balmer and his attendant in their room. Learning that Jeffries is about to be arrested, Balmer suddenly removes his goggles, holds the detectives up with a revolver and backs into an adjoining room. Jeffries attempts to escape, but is shot in the wrist by Francis. The girl then shoots at Balmer, knocking the pistol from his hand. The man is captured. The two crooks then confess that they have made a regular business of replacing jewels with imitations. Balmer posed as a blind man, knowing that suspicion would never be directed against such an individual. The room occupied by the two adjoined Major Dunbar's room and it was easy for them to steal his pin. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
