15 to the house-top where a desperate struggle ensues between the policeman and burglar in which the former is thrown from the roof to the road below. The scene next changes to the road where the body of the policeman is lying. His comrade summonses the Ambulance which arrives and conveys the body to the mortuary. Meanwhile, two policemen take up the chase along a country road, where another desperate struggle takes place. The burglar throws his assailant to the ground and escapes over the wall, hotly pursued by another policeman. The next scenes depict the exciting chase down the cliff, over the stepping stones of the river. The scene again changes to a country railway station showing the train. Just as the train moves off, the burglar rushes across the platform and enters a compartment. The policeman is seen hurrying after his quarry, but too late. The last picture shows another railway station, some miles away, to which the police have telegraphed, and just as the burglar alights from the train he is promptly captured by a policeman, but only after a terrible struggle in which the burglar is thrown to the ground, and with the assistance of porters he is eventually handcuffed and marched off, forming a splendi 1 and rousing finish to one of the most sensational pictures ever cinematographed. Creates unbounded applause and enthusiasm. Length 275 feet. Laboratory and Experimental Department ,
