seizes three strangers who claim to have bought cattle from the presumably murdered man. The posse summarily lynches the three men. Then the sheriff arrives.

FURY (MGM) IX reels-B&W Lynching Sequence 17 minutes Lynching, study of mob formation and behavior. JUSTICE UNDER LAW Adapted from BOOMERANG (20th Cent.-Fox) 3 reels-B&W 30 minutes Filmed in documentary style, this excerpted version of a feature photoplay emphasizes the ideal of justice under American law and the importance of weighing evidence carefully to protect the individual's Constitutional rights. In simple and direct fashion the film tells the story of the murder of a beloved clergyman. Public outrage at the brutal crime demands quick arrest and punishment of the killer. A suspect is picked up in the police dragnet, and seven witnesses identify him. It seems "an open and shut case/' Interesting sequences depict the working of legal machinery in such a case, including the police investigations and line-up of suspects, the coroner's hearing and the arraignment. When the prosecutor appears at the arraignment, he dumb-founds the court by entering a plea of innocent for the suspect. He proceeds to disprove each piece of evidence which seemed to doom the man to conviction. The adherence of the prosecutor to the ideal of his office frees an innocent man and provides a reassurance of faith in American justice.
